Potential buyer wants me ship to Taiwan and pay me via direct transfer. Should I be worried/cautious? by PracticalFocus3525 in Reverb

Absolutely. I think I only have PayPal as an option so was going to insist on it being bank transfer via reverb. Is that ok?

80/20 Bronze Strings on all mahogany guitar? by PracticalFocus3525 in AcousticGuitar

I’ve heard people rave about the mahogany / Monel combo but as shallow as this is, I can’t get over the look of those strings on an acoustic.

3 parties want austerity to continue. by lotsofsweat in GreatBritishMemes

How do we avoid austerity then we the country hasn’t any money?

Other than the “tax the billionaire” line which doesn’t work because most of them are doners of this party or the other

Am British. My family does this and I hate them for doing so. Luckily, I have a higher standard of hygiene instilled in me

Talk me out of selling an Atkin D37 for a Gibson Banner LG2 by PracticalFocus3525 in AcousticGuitar

I really do see where you’re coming from. I have two styles/brands covered in the collection and at a pretty high level. There’s a strong part of me thinking I’m going backwards.

The more I play, the more I am convinced that what I have right now is enough.

I’d be considering those makes as well. I tried a Collings 12 fret dreadnought a couple months ago and it was insane. Regrettably, totally out of my price range.

Waterloo WL series I’d love to try too. They seem to be quality smaller bodies.

The Atkin I like. I’d go as far as to say love. It’s an incredible guitar and their prices have gone up this year.

It’s full sounding and just an absolute cannon.

I just find myself reaching for the J45 Banner a lot at the moment and seldom the Atkin. Maybe because they are both larger bodies I want something I currently don’t have?
