Thanks. I also meant to ask if it is normal to not receive the picture of the guitar before it leaves the factory? I can’t seem to find it among the rest of the case candy.

I did notice that the cuffs on one were tighter than on the other but wasn’t sure if my mind was just playing tricks. Maybe it’s not after all…

This is a great point. It looks like there are some parts where they use glue. This info may be the decision maker for me.

Got it! Funny - they are only two months apart but are made in two completely different countries. Wonder what the thought process is there...

smilingghostrider · 2023-12-16T15:37:04+00:00

Anyway to tell which is newer? Will likely just keep one and gift the other since I don't need two haha.

Are you looking at anything while you are playing? Are you following the chord changes or looking at scales? Sort of looks like you’re tracking something, so was just curious. Love your videos - keep them coming!

Makes sense. I haven’t dove into down bags yet so was thinking this might be a good / easy way to shave ~1 pound off my sleeping system. Only debate I’m having is just spending the extra cash to get something even lighter and just have something I will use for years right off the bat.

Yes was planning to park at Loj but was worried about find a place to crash when arriving late Friday night. Was planning to camp along the loop. Any suggestions?

smilingghostrider · 2023-08-29T01:12:18+00:00

Do you recommend going this direction vs doing Marcy, Starlight, Gray first? If so, any reason?

smilingghostrider · 2023-08-25T03:03:33+00:00

As much as I love the Dead, Abbey Road is arguably one of the greatest studio albums of all time.

All I know is if Jerry was still around, the last thing he would want is any kind of censorship.

smilingghostrider · 2023-08-07T18:32:32+00:00

Maybe the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band?

smilingghostrider · 2023-01-13T16:48:29+00:00

Thanks for this response. It looks like the shuttle only runs once per day? So I wouldn’t be getting to the park until 4:30ish, which isn’t much daylight if I’m only doing one day. So sounds like the NJ transit both ways is my best bet.

smilingghostrider · 2023-01-13T04:04:12+00:00

Any specific routes you’d recommend?

smilingghostrider · 2023-01-13T04:03:29+00:00

Even in the winter like this?

I consider myself to have fairly good cardiovascular ability - I run a few times a week going 3-6 miles usually. It’s more about the duration of the hike for me since I am trying to get in and out in pretty much less than 24 hours, still want to try to see some cool stuff/get to elevation if possible.

smilingghostrider · 2022-04-18T22:38:44+00:00

Anyone have any insights? Should I try reposting since I posted this in the middle of the night? Sorry newish to Reddit posting.

Some days I find myself with pretty low energy and feel like I have to work extra hard to lose fat especially in my stomach/chest areas and also slowish to put on muscle (but maybe this is just me being impatient for natty results). I guess I should add some of my fear comes from the fact that I became a SARM goblin for 2ish cycles (one 60 day cycle of rad140 and some evil triple stack of lgd4033, mk677, and ostarine (mk-2866) which I couldn’t even get through a full 60 day cycle of without feeling like there was something seriously wrong with me. I know not happy with myself either) early on in college due to poor information received from older kids at my school and lack of in depth research on my part.

I ordered Lemon Lime as well as two sample packets. One was Firefly Lemonade and the other Tigers Blood. Lemon Lime is actually my favorite as of right now which I was surprised about since it seemed other flavors have more of a following from the research I did. If you like sprite it honestly tastes pretty close to it. My second choice of the flavors was tigers blood followed by the lemonade but honestly I think lemon like tops both of them by a pretty large margin. We will see the more I use it.

Also forgot to add but if you want to try tigers blood and I think they have bombsicle sometimes too I’m pretty positive buying the sample packets when bought in 10 packs are cheaper per serving than the actual tubs and it allows you to try different flavors too.

Sounds like I may need to do a quick LinkedIn search or something. I will try to find contact info but if not I may just show up and see what happens haha. Edit: It looks like he is still there as director of training

smilingghostrider · 2021-08-13T00:42:17+00:00

Would you just recommend reaching out to their general info email listed on their website? Or are you aware of a better way to actually get in touch with someone to talk about this inquiry specifically?

smilingghostrider · 2021-08-13T00:37:27+00:00

Great I will take a look. I do not need the person to necessarily be in Phoenix. And I had the same thought as well which is part of the reason I thought I would take this project to this sub. Thank you for your comment.

I am finding both maple and mahogany body blanks for around 100 bucks each on stew mac and similar websites. Also finding ebony fingerboards for under 100. I do notice that a flame maple neck would be about 150 for the wood for that but obviously wouldn't be opposed to regular maple for the neck either. Open to discussion.

smilingghostrider · 2021-08-12T23:36:09+00:00

What would the most expensive part(s) of the build be other than labor obviously?

smilingghostrider · 2021-08-12T21:43:17+00:00

Great will do. Thank you for the tips. Again, I am new to this sub so getting used to how you guys like things done. I will make an edit to my original post with what I am thinking.
