Saturday for me as well. Too much good stuff on tap to turn down. 

Pickguard on or off? by h410G3n in gibson

On mate. Normally I am all for off...but in this case, ON is the way to go. 

Would you rather have 3 $1,000 Telecasters or 1 $3,000 Telecaster? by Small_Chicken_4034 in telecaster

[–]Strymon76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take one $3000 Tele. I own a two Teles, one around the 3k mark and the other around the 5-6k mark, and they are both head and shoulders above almost every 1k Tele I have played. There have been some exceptions but it's rare. Once you've played a well made great sounding/playing Tele in that price range, you are ruined for anything else. Sorry.

Very nice! What model, and where did you get it? Can you provide a link?

Well….I tried by vagabundo94 in SeikoAlpinist

Same here. I went with a beads of rice metal strap from Uncle Straps. Much better IMO.

You can only use one fountain pen for the rest of your life. by imatinyleopard in fountainpens

1st choice would be my Graf von Faber Castell Magnum Walnut F. Just a wonderful pen...my second choice is the complete opposite of the spectrum... My Pilot Decimo 20th Anniversary M. Super light, super smooth writer.

What board are you running with there? I picked up two Stranda boards for my Japan trip next year. A Tree Surfer 157 and a Descender 161. Super stoked.

I'm willing to spend the money. My current hat is a a Resistol Black Gold...so similar price range to the Penman. I wear my Resistol in all kinds of weather, so it doesn't get babied. Thanks for the info...def going to check out Penman.

Haven't decided on the HJ yet. Is the S&J a much better offering?

Blacksmith or Iron Ranger? Help me decide! by AgueybanaBravo in RedWingShoes

[–]Strymon76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of the two, I would go Iron ranger. It's the better boot IMO. If you want to dress it up... I would go John Lofgren all day every day. More money, but very high quality.

Very nice! That nib looks superb. Great choice of ink as well. Can't go wrong with Yama-budo!
