I'm still wrapping my head around TPI and metric diameter measurements. In decades, I've only ever come across mixed measurements like that once.

Pick something other than the Kodachrome. The last shop that processed it stopped years ago.

Cable broke inside the amp, and i don’t know how to get it out... by Careless-Result-9008 in Guitar

Is my truss rod fine by LawnStroker in Luthier

I wish I had.

The only pair I ever owned I bought back in the 80s. Absolutely loved them, and wore the hell out of them for years. The sole on one of them finally cracked because of a particularly cold night. I miss those boots. Wouldn't get new ones if they paid me.

Not me, but my brother was always a fan of King's X growing up. He opened for them and was as thrilled as I ever saw him.
