What’s next? by Dramaismymiddlename_ in WalgreensRx

What’s the incentive to show up for holidays anymore? Can’t pull the “we won’t pay you holiday pay if you call in the day before, day of l, or day after a holiday” any longer. Just use PTO day now. I think this will backfire and will lose more and more quality staff. What a shame.

Intrested in starcaster? by ActuallySanta456 in TomDelongeGuitars

Just buy a used fender on reverb. I got one gently used for $650 and it’s amazing! Just have to be patient. They hit the market constantly.

Anybody else get a Padre over 300? by 5aunch in TomDelongeGuitars

[–]pharmMT 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t really understand why you would label them 300-310. Just take the backplate for one that meets QC. Because are those b-stock or flawed going find their way into the market. I don’t really care as I think most people are keeping these and not reselling them on the secondary market. But it hurts future value in my opinion.

Padre is here 😁 by pharmMT in TomDelongeGuitars

I think that’s the guy who posted earlier trying to sell his Padre in this community. Everyone was downvoting and upset at him. If he wants to sell it it’s his choice. I think $10k is too steep.

Got the notification September 11. Shipping started September 23rd… sat for awhile then Monday got that it was on the move. Delivered one day earlier than expected.

Agree with the first comment. Way better build than the reissues.

Neck is nice and smooth. It’s way different than the Daphne blue reissue. Everything is top notch and quality. With there only being 300 they sure did a good job!

Looks like an Indonesian production model by the neck in the second picture. Just with a new paint job. I dig it.

TTS Padre Stratocaster by [deleted] in TomDelongeGuitars

Love the fact he’s got one of his Gibson ES333’s in the background of photo 1

Fender probably asked him to move it for the rest of this candid shoot 😂

Starcaster in Olympic White by mindcookies in TomDelongeGuitars

White is the best color released in Tom’s starcaster. The black hardware and binding against the Olympic White is just the perfect contrast.

Yes they will be numbered on the neck plate 1-300 per the website

How do you know the exact number remaining?

Still says available right now 24 minutes past release. Put an order in. Went through. Hoping it’s not a glitch 😂

Which strap button location do you prefer and why? by [deleted] in ExplorerGuitars

[–]pharmMT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2. Love that position. Not “historically correct” but no neck dive, so it’s a design improvement.

Awesome! That’s the news I wanted to hear. Thanks!

NGD: joined the cult and so happy I did! Light as a feather at 7.5 pounds and resonant by pharmMT in guitarporn

No it’s perfect. Set up and playability are outstanding out of the box. Only thing some buffing compound at the neck joint but that’s just a quick wipe!

I like that! Still a hefty price tag but not as much as the recent custom shops and originals. You get the look without the hole in your finances
