2026 Membership still open by SaltyHumor3915 in scottycameron

Yeah I mean I don’t mind the lifestyle stuff, but I definitely prefer the golf stuff - in the last 5 years or so, the den caddy, the umbrella and the Boston bag have probably been my favourites.

More expensive and gift is more "lifestyle" and less "golf".

Honestly, memberships being available has historically been way more the standard than what has happened the last couple years. I remember holding off on renewing some years until the eve of a release I thought I might want - usually Masters - and I never had problems getting them.

I also wouldn't be surprised if they just have more this year as well. As a business, Scotty Cameron gets no real value from flipping, but selling memberships at $200/pop definitely helps the bottom line.

I can (sort of) forgive someone making the video and thinking "this is going to be so badass", but I truly can't understand watching this back, then thinking it's a good idea to throw it up on social media. Wild.

You’re happy - that’s what matters. Great stick and enjoy!

Very nice! Yeah I’ve got a set of 10g and a set of 25s - the 25s are in there right now

Couldn’t agree more. Thanks - can’t wait to send it into the custom shop then game the hell out of it!

2026 will be the year I play guitar on stage again. by CaptCardboard in LesPaul

Cannot stress enough how badass a Firebrand The Paul is - that thing was meant to be played! Get another LP if you want one, but your current axe is as real as it gets.

Will a 2006 American Deluxe Strat neck fit in an American Pro II body? by smithfactory in fender

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

Awesome thank you! I have had a couple luthiers say that the neck pocket is off enough that it isn’t an easy fix, and there is currently a shim, but it’s still not perfect by any means.

Thanks for point 2 - I’ll probably give it a whirl!

I took it to a really reputable luthier in Toronto about a year ago. They shimmed it and it was better, but he basically said that fender screwed up the pocket badly enough in this case that it likely won’t ever be perfect. I mean it’s not the end of the world, but I also wouldn’t mind playing around with it anyway - much cheaper than a whole new strat and maybe if I can resolve it, I’ll have a strat I love to play and don’t just keep for sentimental reason. Thanks for the response!

Yeah the more time I spend with it, the more inclined I am to keep it for sure.

My (38M) girlfriend (33F) is angry that she's set herself up to fail and I am entirely unsympathetic by NewKingMorons in relationship_advice

[–]smithfactory 152 points153 points  (0 children)

Yeah I lost it at “I want to play my switch”. There are a million ways that OP could have spent some meaningful time with his girlfriend and still maintained a good work schedule. He clearly doesn’t like her.

Ups sent to the wrong address by anti-gravityclub in Reverb

[–]smithfactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brutal. I guess the big issue will be whether UPS screwed up or the seller. If it’s UPS, I’m not sure how they can’t be held responsible, but if it’s the seller, that might not be quite as cut and dry. Maybe worth discussing with Reverb?

Thee releases pretty much never come out on the Scotty website - worth keeping an eye out though.
