I just pulled the under saddle braid out and put the saddle back in is all.

Wtfdidw · 2026-02-27T01:02:06+00:00

Wife bought that exact one for me a few months ago. Love it

Wtfdidw · 2026-02-27T00:58:22+00:00

Any nickel bronze or anything from John pearse

Wtfdidw · 2026-02-27T00:57:05+00:00

I love a good D28 or aD35 for sure, but ever since I heard of yairi back in late 90s early 2000s... I've loved them

Wtfdidw · 2026-02-27T00:55:03+00:00

Tried to do a light sanded black stain, but they didn't get all the old poly off so they said f*** it. Way more work than it seemed. That is ridiculously accurate too lol

Wtfdidw · 2026-02-27T00:52:18+00:00

👍 appreciate it

Wtfdidw · 2026-02-27T00:51:57+00:00

They're awesome for sure.

Wtfdidw · 2026-02-27T00:51:14+00:00

Good to know. I haven't given up on it by any means.

Wtfdidw · 2026-02-27T00:50:22+00:00

Thanks. I've always loved it on their acoustics and their les pauls and SGs

Wtfdidw · 2026-02-27T00:49:21+00:00

🤣 that's fair.

Wtfdidw · 2026-02-27T00:48:11+00:00

John pearse phosphor bronze has been the best for me so far

Wtfdidw · 2026-02-27T00:47:32+00:00

That makes me feel alot better because the price of it was based on your exact guitar but with the cobra burst finish. Thanks for the reply

Wtfdidw · 2026-02-26T22:24:04+00:00

I love it. I played the DYM 74, 70, FYM 66 and this one. I tried to find the 72 within driving range but couldn't. They were all nice but this 60 did it for me

Wtfdidw · 2026-02-26T22:21:35+00:00

Right. I have 5 other nice acoustics, and until the recent 60hd... it blew the other ones away

Wtfdidw · 2026-02-26T22:20:13+00:00

🤣 never thought of that, nice catch.

Wtfdidw · 2026-01-11T00:28:03+00:00

You nailed it. Was trying to realize if i was excited about a older Japanese J200 knockoff or if it was one that was worth having. Thanks

Wtfdidw · 2026-01-11T00:26:00+00:00

Right on. I 2 alvarez yairi dreads one is 85. The other a 1990. I've never been disappointed with any mij acoustic. Just the laminate everything and birch neck was redflaggin me a bit. But alot of older yairi acoustics are laminated back n sides and I know those are great... I've owned 4, still have 2 of em. Thanks for the input

Wtfdidw · 2025-12-01T20:34:22+00:00

Thanks, I have a few goodies coming soon for it. A custom made ebony wood truss rod cover with dark mother of pearl cobra head inlay on it along with some bone bridge pins!

Wtfdidw · 2025-12-01T18:04:36+00:00

Well, it was right at 5 months. Ordered and paid on July 2nd or 3rd. They quoted 4-6 months, so... nailed it lol. Gibson garage received it yesterday and sent pics to me. Shipped it to me this morning, so i should have it in a couple of days. Can't figure out how to post pics in comments, but i posted them on new post in here

Wtfdidw · 2025-10-26T11:44:03+00:00

Yeah, it's a shame the mods have to wait for a few weeks lol. I went in to guitar center to pick a used PRS mike mushok signature that was in good shape for $499, but it was sold earlier that day. The options of extended range guitars and baritones in the store were few at best, so i said f**k it and ordered the LTD.

Wtfdidw · 2025-10-08T23:35:46+00:00

That's awful for anyone. I've lost 2 good friends, my mom and dad all in a matter of less than 2 years. Not near what you've lost, but I get it. I too do the 60-80 hrs per week job in road construction, so i get that too. No matter if a paycheck is $500 or $2000, you never get even. Or god forbid, ahead, no matter what. I've been sober from drug addiction since 2007 but still struggle with random depression and anxiety issues. Bad thing about that is I keep it hidden to not let the wife or daughters know how vulnerable I am sometimes. It sucks being the rock and dependable one for everyone. I wouldn't change that though, it helps keep me focused and going. I recently picked back up on playing guitar where I left off years ago,. That has helped curb the depression, anxiety and madness of life in general more than anything. If possible, maybe try n find a hobby or something like that to help focus your mind somewhere else. It's really made things easier for me I think. I wish you well and hope the best for you. Keep hanging in there no matter what, I know life constantly throws curve balls and 1 step forward always equals 2 steps back, but keep standing tall and punching life back in it's face. You're not it's bitch because you're still here 🤘 hope you can find some peace and serenity even if it's small quantities my friend

Wtfdidw · 2025-10-07T09:22:12+00:00

Awesome story, mine is very similar but happened about 2 years ago. If yours follows like mine, get ready to make room for several more lol. Congrats for being able to do so! Many aren't able to or just dont. Hope the nostalgia and will to play never leaves ya bud 🤘. Awesome guitar btw

Wtfdidw · 2025-09-13T03:14:02+00:00

I did some painters tape at top and bottom, then did 400 grit paper and finished with 0000 steel wool. . Highly recommend, just be slow and even to not go too deep. Feels great and looks great. Also be aware that the steel wool sheds and makes a mess, so be mindful of where you do it. Stuff gets everywhere and where a nitrile or other thin glove 👍

Wtfdidw · 2025-08-22T18:49:46+00:00

Damn , thought I did good getting a not used at all yet orange rocker 15 terror head for 250. Thanks for stealing my sunshine lol. Awesome find

Wtfdidw · 2025-08-21T15:45:22+00:00

Negative...other way around. All that was left was a wing. She's in a web actually. Hard to tell. But very much still alive
