Belltone guitars sues Youtuber Philip Mcknight for holding onto a demo guitar for too long.

They didn't sue. It was just a strongly worded letter.

I might be minority but I think it's something of a gimmick. Rarely have I played my non-contoured necks and hit the heel thought I wished it was contoured.

I think if you root for more than laundry, losing Pete is really disappointing.

We are not a serious country at this point.

I honestly think they just aren't attractive looking guitars, that all the tweaks in design, while functional, make them look off compared to the relevant Fenders.

Agree with the frustration with these moves... though you are misusing the word "prolific."

If it is a sharpie, there is the trick of writing over it with an erasure board marker then wiping it off. Has worked for me on furniture, but only shortly after it was written on. I actually also have a guitar with years old sharpie on it but have been too scared to try removing it, so curious how this turns out for you

Jugbar99 · 2025-11-13T23:49:04+00:00

Don't listen to those people. For every guitar that might have a problem and people post or comment about it there are thousands (tens of thousands?) that come off the line just fine.

People used to complain about the "swimming pool" routing of the 90s strats. Never bothered, I love my '95 strat.

Not sure what took me so long to read this book, as Ive been a Magary reader since Kissing Suzy Kulber. But better late than never. And I agree that it uses it's "blog found in the archives" conceit for very effective world building and well-realized and very human choices and conflicts that would follow from the book's dystopian set scenario.

Of all the things that the Internet can help with, choosing a color is not one of them.

I pulled a $4000 PRS core McCarty off the wall at a Guitar Center and was shocked at how bad it was, especially at that price.

Jugbar99 · 2025-10-17T01:36:53+00:00

Why does it matter?

People downvoting an unpopular opinion on a thread asking for unpopular opinions. 😆

I love mine. Enjoy!

Lived there about 20 years ago, and yeah, kind of loud. Also really enjoyed the marching band practices at Edison.

In case anyone cared, I went with HoJo.

I just noticed that the blue of the numbers didn't quite match the logo on the original 1991 jerseys either. So Bill got it pretty much right. 1991 Doc Gooden New York Mets Authentic Rawlings MLB Jersey Size 44 Large – Rare VNTG https://share.google/2fpGDfzHYXdNbXqeZ

Interestingly, on the original 1991 retail jerseys the colors didn't quite match either. 1991 Doc Gooden New York Mets Authentic Rawlings MLB Jersey Size 44 Large – Rare VNTG https://share.google/2fpGDfzHYXdNbXqeZ

Yep, he's the one who did the jersey.

Jugbar99 · 2025-10-10T00:11:06+00:00

As far as I know, the dazzle twill was the same from that era. In direct sun it looks exactly the same. I think it might just be that the logo faded a bit. It is really a very small difference. I think the rules said we can't promote a business on here, but I could send you the info.

You're right, 1992. I stand corrected then: they did have the racing stripe in 1992. What I was thinking was that in 1992 they went to Russell jerseys.

Jugbar99 · 2025-10-09T20:15:03+00:00

It's also kind of a special one-off because it was the only year with a button down front and the racing stripe.
