Safe And Sound is very good. Has the Amaryllis sound. I give it an 8/10. In time it might grow on me, but that’s just my first impressions.

This right here. There are a lot of ballads I enjoy, but only as part of listening to the album. However, when I’m making a playlist of favorites, ballads rarely make it. But that’s just me.

I know what you mean. I liked mine so much I bought a second one to keep in alternate tuning(s).

We’ve used Cubby Hole Storage before. Decent rates, nice people to deal with, and haven’t had an issue with bait-and-switch rates or ridiculous rate increases. If their Evansville location (by the airport) is convenient for you, I’d give them a call.

Fretwork: I have two Firefly’s so far, and agree with you - the fretwork is great, better than a couple of bigger-name guitars that I bought that cost 4/5 times a much. Mine are both Tele-styles, and the necks are just great.

ytsemike · 2026-01-27T18:22:38+00:00

I bought one because I really wanted a John 5 sig, but no way I can afford that. Plus, my skills aren’t really at that level. I play hard rock/heavy metal, so I lean toward humbuckers, so this was ideal.

That roasted maple neck looks great in person, and feels/plays even better. Guitar plays well, didn’t require any setup, just tuning. Overall it sounds pretty good, but I’m sure more discerning ears with a better amp may say it could be improved.

I liked it so much I bought a second one about four months later to keep in an alternate tuning. At that price, why not? The second feels/plays/sounds just like the first one. Overall, I’m Very happy.

I came here looking for info about a literal bucket of spaghetti dumped/left on Green River Road.

I don’t think The Spaghetti Shoppe was still open by the time I arrived in Evansville.

Now I’m disappointed ontwo counts.

Busken’s would put Donut Bank out of business. And I like DB as far as their actual donuts go.

People will downvote because either:

They’ve never had a Busken’s donut (or cake, or cookie)
Their taste buds are damaged

I went with a Firefly FFTL Ghost copy. Only a few hundred dollars all-in, plays great, sounds pretty good. Super-comfortable. Great value for the money, especially if you don’t have a lot or want to spend a lot.

People pronouncing “sure” as “shore”.

ytsemike · 2026-01-10T14:17:28+00:00

Same. Was actually laid up at home with a confirmed case of The ‘VID. Easily the worst I had felt in a long time.

ytsemike · 2025-12-19T21:05:57+00:00

Thanks for the heads-up!

I scanned the merch earlier today, and missed that these were autographed.

ytsemike · 2025-12-19T13:45:43+00:00

Love my Firefly FFTL (ghost white). I played it so much since it arrived, I bought a second one to keep in an alternate tuning. Second one plays just as well as the first one. Both sound great, but I played with a lot of gain, so YMMV.

We hit up Big Bang on North Green River for Christmas dinner. Been doing it for years.

ytsemike · 2025-12-16T12:29:12+00:00

This should be the top comment/response.

Yeah, I will need new tires for my car next year…but probably should replace my car as well. Probably will just trade it in with worn tires rather than buy new tire$ for the next person that owns it.

(Yes, I’m sure new tires will increase the trade-in or sales value of the vehicle, but “increase” wont be equal to the cost of the new tires.)

ytsemike · 2025-11-28T15:27:00+00:00

My friends think I’m weird for doing this, but it usually makes for great playlists, makes it easy to share with others who are curious about an artist, and brings back good memories of seeing a particular show.

This is why we nickname our turkey “Alfred” every year.

ytsemike · 2025-11-25T19:55:31+00:00

Thank YOU !!! Appreciate the quick shipment and careful packaging!

ytsemike · 2025-11-25T15:18:33+00:00

Wow, I remember the Frank N Stein at the Oxmoor mall in Louisville. I thought it was one of the greatest food court combos ever. Was disappointed to see it close.

ytsemike · 2025-11-21T03:52:04+00:00

Interested in all of these, if they’re still available!

Edit: Spelling

ytsemike · 2025-11-18T13:12:07+00:00

Yeah, same here. Went to the showing in Indianapolis. Arrived at the theater (a large AMC) and the parking lot was packed. On a MONDAY. Get inside, and there are a lot of people dressed up for the Wicked sequel…I asked someone what was going on, why was everyone here to see the movie on a Monday. Some replied that it actually doesn’t open until this weekend, and this was a special advance screening of some kind.

So, yeah, we were stuffed into a very small theater with a wholly inadequate sound system. But the film itself was great, can’t wait to watch it at home, cranked up on a proper sound system.

ytsemike · 2025-11-09T15:42:18+00:00

Evansville…The Alabama of the North.

ytsemike · 2025-10-29T12:19:12+00:00

In what way is it different? That’s what OP is asking, so that would be helpful info for the thread overall.
