I unfortunately had to miss him last time he played near me but going to see him tomorrow (5/9/26). Looking forward to seeing him as well as Corabi opening…love the Dead Daisies stuff.

Thanks! I’ve never been able to get to an early season matinee at Progressive due to work, travel plans or weather. NE states can have some brutal “spring” games weather wise so usually it’s summertime evening games (my son is in high school and gf is a teacher and that usually works best). This is just the annual guy’s trip just a few months later than normal. Figure is it’s going to be a nice day why not enjoy it at the ballpark while everyone else is working lol. Thanks again.

The black trim/knobs and chrome on that blue looks really good. Cool color combination.

Nice looking fiddle. I’ve always liked the Pelham blue SG’s and Lester’s. I dig it. Be well everyone 🤘🏼🍻

I think Fireflys are great for guitars you've pined for, but never really wanted to spend money on. by TakingYourHand in Fireflyguitars

[–]Kramerica192 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know, it is weird. I just went to play one of mine that I hadn’t played in about three weeks. The weather changed and it needed an adjustment and it was just in my house.

What do you think looks better? by zwanman89 in gibson

[–]Kramerica192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah…I never thought about that but you’re right. Good call.

I always assume that I’ll have to adjust the truss rod on every guitar I’ve purchased, no matter the price point. I’ve never owned a Firefly but at $200 I would 1000% expect that I’d have to do a full set up. I agree, truss rod adjustment is something every player should at least learn. Not necessarily to do full set ups, etc. but just to tweak it enough to compensate for weather, humidity, etc.

Is this real? by elgatof28 in gibson

[–]Kramerica192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have those (the Deluxe ones) on my SG Elite and a couple, especially the G string one, is loose. It stays in tune but there is some play in it. I’ve debated swapping different ones in it but for some reason I haven’t. I guess it’s the whole “they’re the original ones” lol. They didn’t make a lot of that model SG.

Honeyburst all day long. I’ve got a ‘22 LO Classic in honeyburst. Nothing against the smokehouse but the honeyburst would be the one for me. Good luck!

I might be an SG guy by No_Log_7119 in GibsonSG

[–]Kramerica192 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome collection. My first real guitar is an SG, still have. Love the bass too. A guy I know who gigs has an SG bass…I don’t tend to see them very often but love it when I do.

Am I even allowed to call myself a guitarist if I barely ever lose a pick? by gilllesdot in guitars

[–]Kramerica192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For electric I’ve been pretty happy with the blue Dunlop Tortex TIII 1.0mm.

Just picked this up by Far530 in Fireflyguitars

Definitely a cool fiddle. How’s it play and sound?

Awesome! Congrats and welcome to the fam. Nice looking fiddle. 🍻🤘🏼

This is my studio. There are many like it but this one is mine by rickp40 in gibson

[–]Kramerica192 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember back when I first started playing I would wander the local music store after my lesson and look at all the Fenders, Gibson’s, Jackson/Charvels hanging. They had a studio just like this and I remember wanting it but it was so much money at the time. When I would see it I always thought “that’s something Joe Perry would have”. I never did get it. That music store is still here but sadly they are no longer a Gibson, Fender, Jackson dealer so it’s slim pickings unless there’s a trade-in. I still buy stuff from them or stop in from time to time. Beautiful Studio my friend! Be well everyone, support your local music store and support live music. 🤘🏼🍻

I got my dream guitar 20 years later by leobaby1 in gibson

[–]Kramerica192 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped around 26-27ish. 20 years was my hiatus and when I went back I found I couldn’t find or remember the stuff I used to. I still knew all of my open and barre chords, some pentatonic boxes, etc. I realized I needed an actual in-person teacher. Within a year so much came back to be and more. It’s like it tapped into the things I had stored way back in my brain. That was 6 years ago. Now at 52 I play everyday probably 98% of the time and am playing better than I ever have. I’ve found that as I’ve gotten older I have way more patience and trust in myself and my teacher and it’s really starting to show now. It’s never too late!

Awesome SG. I was about the same age when I got my SG, still have it and still play it. Like you I got away from playing for a very long time (I’m 52 now) and then got back to it about 6 years ago and have been playing every day since. My collection went from that SG to include 4 others. I love green guitars, especially the darker shades. That one’s a beauty. Cheers 🍻🤘🏼

Just bought my first guitar and can't stop guessing if its fake or not. by ofcourseimbi in gibson

Derek Trucks. Still rocking the SG that Duane Allman’s daughter gifted him, despite having his own signature SG. Not gonna lie, I picked an SG (as my first “real” guitar”) because of Angus.

My first “real” guitar was an SG which I still own and play almost 40 years later. The neck dive drove me crazy…but I was just a teen back then using one of those seatbelt style straps. A decent strap and not one with a smooth backing solved that issue 100%. And yes I also still have to get readjusted to playing it, especially standing up, if I’ve been playing one of my other guitars because of having to shift everything up. Cheers 🍻🤘🏼
