I liked the Bass so much, I got the Traveler LTD-EC1 Special Sweetwater Edition.

Traveler Bass, actually a pretty cool little bass. I might get the Guitar version. This one is a gift.

Way...and I mean WAY back Wednesday...
Circa 1975, me and my SG Special '(71 I think), and playing through my Kustom Hustler amp. Found this newspaper clipping in an old yearbook I though I had lost. -
Which one do you like soundwise most?Unplugged they are all close, slightly richer sound with the Jazzmaster. Plugged in, they all have different voicings, hard to pick a fav. I did swap the tuners on the Jazzmaster for Fender Locking tuners (Brushed Chrome). I have BLACK locking tuners on order for the other two black ones.

I couldn't help myself, had to go for the Trifecta. Got all three Acoustasonics.

I feel like I post here a lot...maybe too much
I ordered this back in early March, finally released. D'Angelico Mini DC Satin Brown Burst. Working on setup now. It's close, but I have particular tastes for the setup. -
My Tele arrived...

Okay, wasn't expecting TOO much in this price range, but this guitar is the bomb! Love the built in effects! The action is slightly high for my taste, but only off by 1/64, and I can fix that.

Nice! I'd like to try one. What do you think of it?
So far I love it...I have some different strings to try also.

My birthday present arrived a little early

That's truly shocking. My wife has now insisted on one in, one out...
It's so nice now...never is it "Honey, can I get this?" It's "I ordered this today, keep an eye out for the delivery" Okay dear...

New D'Angelico Mini DC LE in Sage

Yesterday was maintenance day.
Here is my process I have been using for years:
- Cleant the fretboard with Naphtha (AKA Lighter fluid)
- Oil the fretboard, wait 5 minutes and wipe dry (keeps tape from sticking too much).
- Tape board up
- Use Semichrome and Dremel buffing wheel on each fret.
- Remove tape, clean again with Naphtha to remove tape residue.
- Oil Fretboard again, wait 5 minutes.
- Buff completely with soft rag.
Frets are Mirror shiny now!
First photo was the "Before" -
Sometimes deals just happen. I saw this D'Angelico Excel SS on FB Marketplace for $500. I knew there had to be something wrong with it. Stopped on the way home, and while it was filthy, the lady said it was never played. Strings were corroded, it seemed to check out. There was a finish crack on one side of the neck, but seems to just be the poly finish. The frets look untouched. Even included a Hardshell case. Built in 2013. I may need to get some Grover locking tuners, but she is purdy!
