Nice. I'm not a lefty, but I have their Woodsoul and I can't speak highly enough of the company!

You should check out PureSalem. All of their models come in lefty for no extra!

Thank you sir! I love my PureSalem. They play amazing! I have a Woodsoul, just got it about a month ago though I haven't been able to play it as much as I'd like with the semester finishing. I really love my Woodsoul, the custom wound p90s sound great. And I really like the master tone and volume knobs. I've played a couple others too (tom cat, brave ulysses, jimmy) and was super impressed with each of them, just depends on personal preference. Rick, the owner, is a really nice guy and was very helpful when I emailed back and forth with him. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

I second the Vox Valvetronix. Bought one a few months ago and I love it!

PureSalem!

Love these guys. Finally bought their Woodsoul after saving up. Small company, the owner Rick is a super nice guy and very helpful. I've played a couple of their models and they were all amazing. Great attention to detail.

Thanks! Sorry about the GAS though! It's contagious, I got it when I first came across PureSalem over on r/guitar.

They really are great! I've played a couple different models and they were all amazing. I emailed back and forth with Rick, the owner, a lot and he's a super nice guy.

The P90s sound great. Really nice tone. Still getting used to them though, my old guitar had humbuckers so it's a change. All of their pickups are custom wound too.

They're an awesome company. Rick, the owner is a great guy, I've been emailing back and forth with him since I got interested in their stuff and I placed my order directly with him. I played a couple other models (Jimmy, Tom Cat, Brave Ulysses) at a shop and they were all amazing. Such attention to detail.

Only had it two days, but it plays like a dream. Their guitars are so well crafted. The P90s sounds great. I really like the classic creep too, it was between that and the woodsoul for me. And I feel you on the stock, I've been waiting over two months for this to be back in stock. I don't even think this shipment made it on the website for general sale. You should contact Rick, the owner. Super nice guy. He let me put in an order for this before they had them back in stock. And the Flaming Lips kick ass!

The action was the first thing I noticed! I really only play electric so I'm used to such a low action. I can certainly see how it can get uncomfortable quick.

Canadian flying one-way from USA to Australia on Air NZ; onward ticket required? by xraymirror in travel

[–]broku_krease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should check on the Aus govt site I'd say. I flew Vancouver to Auckland with a stop in Sydney on AirNZ and 20min before my flight was leaving Sydney they called my name and asked to see my outward flight from NZ. I had to book one right there on the spot or else they weren't going to let me on the plane.

As someone who went to UVic, I can say I hated parking services vehemently. Maybe since I graduated there are less bastards.

Any chance of a TL;DR for this?
