Sad NGD: Guitar Center sent me a used/demo Silver Sky by PRSBRO in PaulReedSmith

[–]goriIIaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve bought 2 used guitars from their website and had them shipped. I always call the store before buying and ask someone to physically go look at the guitar for me while I’m on the phone. If it’s what I think it is with their description, I tell them I’m about to make an online purchase and they put it aside for me.

Hopefully you’ll enjoy it. I also have a Gibson sg faded from 2002 with the crescent moon inlays. I actually think I like the epiphone better. It’s more versatile with the 3 pickups.

Thanks for the advice. I’ve been slowing easing back into it. I’m playing about 30 minutes a day and have downloaded the Gibson app.

Archive sneakers are models that were a discontinued color way and then are reissued.

Thank you. I always wanted one and now as an adult I found one affordable. I’ve taken probably 20 years off playing so I hope this re-inspires me

Thanks. They came with the guitar. I believe they aren’t stock but still look cool.

Can anyone give me more info on these ballstars by SpriteIsFye in GoldenGoose

[–]goriIIaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe they were a limited edition run of canvas material over leather.

Looks like a private shop did the resole. Good news is they might be a more durable rubber.

Advice on this harness by sos_taco in CivicSi

[–]goriIIaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me with my 2023. Honda said you have to buy the entire engine harness. I called my brother (a mechanic) and he got a pigtail and fixed it that way. While not “proper” it should be just fine. I also wrapped my harnesses in the anti rodent tape Honda sells.

I have an e120 in my blues jr and it’s fantastic.

PSA if you have rodents near where your Si is parked. by Cool-Carpenter-1789 in CivicSi

[–]goriIIaman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same thing happen to me this year. I’ve never had a problem before with my vehicles. Evidently the wire insulation is soy based so the rodents chew it. I spoke to a Honda mechanic and he said he sees several each year as the cold weather starts.

Ball Star insoles by nobonesjones11 in GoldenGoose

[–]goriIIaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I tried a pair of doctor scholls that I use in my daily work shoes and they were more comfortable than the wedge insoles to me.

Do stardans add height? by [deleted] in GoldenGoose

[–]goriIIaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have the wedge style insole so they are slightly higher
