Not even a hint of it yet.

Couple of nights in the garage over winter?

Should be ok inside... I forgot to order the firewood for winter.

My '95 LP Classic PP. I think I might have spotted another pic of this one from the previous owner a few pages back.

Sorry to hear about the robbery Dave, at least it's a certainty that the punters here will spot them in a heartbeat if they show up on fb, cashies or TM..

Not much worse than those that that think it's ok to help themselves to other people's shit.

Hope you have a swift recovery.

Yep, when my kids started I got an SX strat 2nd hand for $200 off TM. Unexpected bonus that it came in a Hiscox flight case!

One of my most used at the moment would be an ESP M-II standard series. Was $850ish in 2012. Not sure you could get one for that price now though.

Buying new a PRS-SE or hit an SX and keep the change.

Nice Vince. Some fine playing and I thoroughly enjoyed the listening!

I’ve purchased a few jap hats via ishibashi and it’s Ubox 2nd hand online store. They’ve always used EBS for shipping. Same here. Ishibashi provided a good experience - they were great about providing additional information via email queries. Two guitars they described as used with normal wear arri...
