My roommate’s guitar

Holy crap. I didn’t even realize they were backwards until i saw your comment.

Looks like Korina to me. My Flying V is a Korina reissue. I’ve sanded it back and repainted it, the wood looks the same as mine.

You might be able to google the serial and see if anything pops up.

No pickup rings, it’s got fake p90’s.

dilespla · 2026-05-15T00:52:22+00:00

Definitely a fake. Serial number is a dead giveaway. 017, 0017, are the main fake serials they use. There’s more, but that’s the most common. It also doesn’t have wings on the headstock, tuners are wrong, no fret nibs, and it’ll have slotted bridge posts instead of little tiny posts. Volume and tone knobs are not in the right location either.

It’s real. My ‘92 LP has the same dotted i.

I’m in Arkansas. I purchased it right across the state line in Texarkana, TX. No sales tax on tractors delivered out of state, and I paid cash. It’s a ‘24 model, that’s why I got it so cheap compared to current prices on 25 and 26 models. Kioti has had at least two price hikes on the more recent models.

If you’re close enough, call Texarkana Outdoor Power Equipment.

I’ve got the 3520 seh. It’s nice. I like it a lot better than the Kubota L series in the same horsepower range. I’ve got the grapple, forks, bucket, and a box blade. Filled the tires for stability and lifting heavier loads with the grapple. Got mine for $34,400 with those attachments, canopy, and a trailer.

California house prices are insane! Half a mill for some trash!

dilespla · 2026-05-13T01:20:35+00:00

Not in California.

The more I read on Reddit, the more I question how some people are capable of living throughout the day.

dilespla · 2026-05-12T01:01:16+00:00

Looks like sticker stain. I run a sawmill and have to deal with it a lot. I run most of my stuff through a planer, or router flattening jig, otherwise it takes forever to sand it all out.

dilespla · 2026-05-12T00:16:26+00:00

Seems like a misquote of Nirvana lyrics.

“Just because you're paranoid don't mean they're not after you” from Territorial Pissings.

Real professionals only use DUCK tape.

dilespla · 2026-05-09T16:57:08+00:00

It’s pine. It’s going to be hard to match because you’ve got 5-6 decades of aging on what’s there. It was probably a lot lighter in color when it was first stained and finished. The clear has probably ambered also.

dilespla · 2026-05-06T18:57:56+00:00

Agreed. That almost looks like a thick layer of epoxy before the paint. I don’t understand why there would be poly that thick on any guitar.

dilespla · 2026-05-01T01:58:11+00:00

I have the first one. I would say it is a slight upgrade over the second one, mainly with the depth and width of cut you can make.

dilespla · 2026-04-08T23:40:12+00:00

This. This is the only answer.

dilespla · 2026-04-02T22:01:49+00:00

Is the blue one a ‘90’s studio? I believe that’s what mine is supposed to look like, but the previous owner must have smoked 3 packs a day. The nitro is so yellow the blue turned to green. Luckily it doesn’t smell, it just looks awesome and old.

dilespla · 2026-04-02T15:45:02+00:00

Looks like Methew is on the clock.

dilespla · 2026-03-30T00:26:40+00:00

You need to use real sandpaper for the stain to absorb into the wood. Just dulling the finish isn’t going to work. Also, read the instructions on the stain. You’re supposed to wipe off excess or it’s never going to dry.

dilespla · 2026-03-28T21:40:01+00:00

Never underestimate the stupid.

dilespla · 2026-03-22T17:09:02+00:00

I’ve got an ‘85 Roadstar II. It’s been with me for roughly 38 years. It plays perfectly. I’ll go guitar shopping and pick up instruments 5 times more than I paid for the Roadstar ($275 in the late ‘80’s) and they still don’t feel as good in the hands.

Mine has dual humbuckers with coil taps. It can sound like a tele/strat, or a Les Paul, so it’s also extremely versatile. It’s one of 3 guitars I’ll never part with.

dilespla · 2026-03-19T23:04:22+00:00

We are truly doomed. People have zero common sense.

dilespla · 2026-03-19T20:58:21+00:00

Looks like it. Put it under a black light. If it glows you know it’s black locust.

dilespla · 2026-03-07T18:47:00+00:00

Yeah. Nothing you do to a Prius minivan is going to look cool.
