    That's why God invented stainless-steel.

    Bought this package yesterday at Chicago Music Exchange:

    A chat with CME sales rep Kyle H resulted in a price of $599. Should be here by the end of the week.

    In route. A maple Guild Jumbo 6 string. Should pair nicely with my maple Guild Jumbo 12.

    Got this on Sunday from Amazon. Don't know how I ran across the ad, but since I haven't been playing in quite a while, I thought this might help in the callus dept. It has a 15 pound resistant level. Just after a short use, my fingers hurt, like a lot of practice would.

    Call me a doofus, but why not spend the time practicing instead?

    I knew somebody would point out that fact and it's true. However, I use this gadget when I am working at my computer and during the times I'm reading content and only using my mouse (right hand), I toughen up my calluses a bit. Plus, I'm only an at home player, no more shows for me.

    Really hard to practice vibrato while driving down the road

    So I picked up a strat. I had a couple of different ones, but this one was available locally and I got to lay hands on it before he layed hands on my cash. Fretboard will be getting some oil - it is a little dry and lighter in color than others I had seen but feels great.

    As a bass player, I play a little guitar too, and this one should do the deal.

    Not sure - doesn't look like this is working right for me

    I guess this is a 62/63 ltd. Sounds great - plays great - My only regrets are that it DID cost more than I wanted to spend AND I can't play well enough to warrant it.

    It was far less than new - thats a bonus!

    Looks pretty nice! I like the curve they put on those custom shop rosewood lam boards. The stock American Originals, not so much

    Gassing on this at the store I consult. It weighs 8.5 lbs. plays and sounds great. Always wanted an Oxblood. It’s behind the counter while I ponder it tonight. Getting a bit of a deal.
