If you have to buy the tools you need to do it yourself, it makes paying someone to do a setup a lot more attractive.

You don't have to know how to do a setup for them to be a good deal. I just had my old GAD-30R set up by a local luthier for $114.00. It plays better than it ever has. Add $114 to the cost of a new Westerly Collection guitar and you still have a great value.

I was talking about Fender shutting down the Tacoma guitar company and the Tacoma brand of guitars, not the factory. My memory is that Fender bought the Tacoma guitar company, shut the brand down, and moved Guild manufacturing from Corona to the Tacoma factory. Then, a few years later, Fender...

You never know. When Fender owned Guild, it bought Tacoma to shut it down.

I was complimented on my driving one time. 30 seconds later, I hit the car in front of me.

The last two times I ordered through the Starbucks app, they could not find my order when I got there to pick it up.

Didn't he also cancel a planned tour?

Thanks. I ordered one.

Mine says ATB for Antique Burst. They may have used different abbreviations in different production runs. I'd like to change the pickguard on mine too.

That's because the K1000 is the darling of the film crowd these days. I've been reading that Pentax is going to introduce a new film camera soon. Not an SLR but a point and shoot.

About 10 years ago, there was a battle here between Girl Scout troops that ended up in court. One troop was selling cookies at the standard $4/box in its region. The troop in the region next door decided to move into the first troop's area and sell cookies for $3.50.

When I was in college and still living with my parents, Keith Richards lived up the street from me in Cherry Hill, NJ. I had no clue at the time except that I once went to a bar called "The Shepard's Inn" and the bartender said "You should have been here two hours ago Keith Richards and Mick...

This is the car I want:

Spotmatics are worth that much until you try to sell yours. Then you are lucky to get a third of that price. I know from experience.
