There's a Sam Ash close to my office. I thought about stopping by, but I had read about only 5% off. I can just call someone at Swee****er or Guitar center and get more than 5% off.

Probably why they are closing lol

haha - true!

We got a delivery from Guitar Center today. It's the box of strings I ordered from Musicians Friend stupid deal of the day the other day

This one was shipped from my local guitar center. The last one came from much further away.

The strings at bottom were from my order several months back. The strings at top are from today's arrival.

This box looks like it's been on the dash of a GC delivery truck or in a window at the store. Maybe a display case that faces the front door.

The string packaging looks different on today's arrival.

Everything is intact and they should be fine but this is just sad.

Free to a good home.

Round Rock pick-up. I'll meet up with you around North Austin. It's a great little device and works perfect, just dont use it any more.

Musicians Friend is doing stupid deal of the hour today. It's probably good I didn't know that until now.

PSA- If you're ever headed to Big Bend NP and go through Alpine be sure to check out Far West Guitars. An unexpected guitar oasis in the desert. He has a good selection of used and some vintage stuff collected from guitar shows, consignment sales, etc. He had a couple of nice Heritage guitars, A killer Les Paul Standard, Robin Ranger, a nice ash American Tele, a couple of PRS SEs, Taylor acoustics, and so on. A real nice guy too.

My wife wants to go to Big Bend. This helps me want to plan the trip.

I saw a pic of an SUV loaded up with guitars, so I assume it was getting scary enough to bail out.

I'm sure he grabbed everything he could. The fire could have easily spread over to his shop. Folks were trying to save as much of the artwork from the galleries that burned down.

He's got a pretty cool '98 P-Bass that some is donating the proceeds to those impacted by the fire. I'm tempted to buy it to help out in any way I can.

When were you at the shop? We came in early Saturday afternoon.

It was probably around 2:00 o'clock thereabouts.

If you saw a guy, his wife, and a bouncing 8yr old boy, that was us. A couple was headed out as we came in.

That was us. Small world.

Unfortunately everything there that I was interested in was out of my price range.

Such is the life of a guitar player...

I should amend my statement.

It's not that I couldn't lay out $2,000 for a Les Paul-like object (Heritage H-150). But since I already have three guitars that fit that profile, I don't need another.

What I'm currently in the market for is either a PRS Santana SE Special P90 (very rare in the USA as they were a Europe exclusive run), or a Les Paul Junior being sold at a ridiculously low price too good to resist.

Didn't even know there was a Santana SE with P90s.

Good luck on the LP Special/Jr. Those have gotten a little high, imo.

I picked up my '96 for about $1,500, after taxes. I was a little more open to spending the money on it because it was a mid-90's model with a nice dark rosewood board and a '60s profile neck.

Thanks, but it sold a long time ago (I peruse Reverb daily).

Damn......I realized that after I hit send.

The search continues!
