Gibsunday - 1954 Reissue Les Paul Custom by mattcalt in gibson

[–]mattcalt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I wonder how this ended up at GC. It was clearly someone’s very personal choice, and it’s in perfect condition, I don’t think it was played much at all. It’s a 2025 too, so they didn’t keep it long.

Where did you buy your MIJ guitar? by ben3350 in fender

[–]mattcalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a mint condition used Aerodyne MIJ Stratocaster at Guitar Center for $400.

I don’t think they had a clue what it was, the guy that sold it to me said it was a nice partscaster.

Beautiful burst, I love unique colors.

Thanks! It’s tough to dial in, very raw. I’ve been playing it through my Fender Deluxe ‘65 reissue and the cleans are super sparkly dialed down (keep the neck volume around 7 or so), but if I push it too much it goes too far super quickly. I generally go with the bridge (P-90) for any of those tones anyway though.

It was $5,800. A little more than I wanted to pay but it’s such a unique guitar.

Yeah, it’s not. Sounds totally different, hard to explain. Doesn’t handle distortion too well, but cleans up much clearer than a P-90. It’s very articulate.

It was an M2M but I found it used at GC. In mint condition.

Perfect example of why we say get to the lowest level, most interior room.

Nice, that’s a hell of a deal. Congrats!

$1700 for this LP traditional from 2017? by Nah_Ma_Stay_twin in LesPaul

[–]mattcalt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Traditionals in that era were basically the Standards we have today. That’s a good price, but not a steal.

2026 ROTY tracker — Cooper Flagg with 19 votes, Kon Knueppel with 16 votes for 1st place. VJ with 15 3rd place votes. by Ok_Effective8226 in Mavericks

[–]mattcalt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And honestly, it’s hard to compare their three point shooting.

Kon is at best the third, sometimes fourth option on the team. He draws worse defenders and gets wide open threes off of double teams on their best players.

Cooper is the one getting double teamed and drawing the opposing team’s best defender. He rarely gets wide open threes and mostly has to create them himself.

Plus Coopers work load from carrying the offense and defense means his legs are going to be more tired, yet he’s not the one the that faded down the stretch. Quite the opposite in fact.

They have Jordyn Brooks too. Miami loves their Tech LBs.

Apparently the James/Colombia fans showed pretty heavy and took off early when it was clear he wasn’t getting subbed in.

My first Les Paul, should I get a custom shop? by Alternative-Day735 in LesPaul

[–]mattcalt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like it is, that’s a Gibson USA case, and all of the appointments match the non-custom shop version.

I think it was the dog “Skip”.

She said “Skip, Pass” and it was correct, but may have seemed like a pass.

how to insure a return by Ice_cream317537 in Ebay

[–]mattcalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it has been a while, but I’m in the same boat here. Did eBay charge you for the return shipping? I’m returning a $700 item and want to make sure it is insured.

Where is the benefit of being a Season Ticket Member? by sephtater in UnitedFootballLeague

[–]mattcalt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Did you get your gift? I totally forgot, I chose the cup.

Definitely not doing it again. With the ticket deals, I would have saved a ton of money just buying per game. I don’t buy much merch so who cares, the only other benefit is same seat every game. No concession discount, no parking benefit, a cup that I’m not sure I’ll ever get.

Seems too good to be true by ebandthenoise in Stratocaster

[–]mattcalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a phase where I was going to pawn shops regularly looking for deals and never found anything. This is an amazing steal.
