This was the dog's fault... We went to buy him food and wound up in the Guitar Center in the same plaza. They had this 2018 USA Firebird marked down to $1099 w/ hardcase. It was a fantastic player and I couldn't pass at that price... |

It's funny... I've always thought the Firebird was a neat looking guitar, but I never really was interested in buying one. When I played in the store, it was a nice playing instrument and it had a unique sound because of the mini-humbuckers. This seems to be one of those cases where you just "click" with an instrument. I can't walk by it without picking it up and I feel like a stronger player when I'm playing it. My band is playing Friday and I'm looking forward to gigging with this. | |

New-to-me 2005 Outback Boobaru. 2.5, 5 speed manual, 125K, recent head gaskets/t-belt/everything else that you do when you pull the heads off. This will replace the '04 Civic that got totaled last July, driving the 3rd Gen 4runner every day is costing a small fortune in fuel, plus it needs to have some front suspension work done along with an over due t-belt service. |

| Re: Pics of your latest purchase This looked interesting for $40.00 shipped from the USA. Impression is good looking and solid . Up close still good, spins quite smooth. Took it apart(HA) all screws dinger tight, but gears were greased and output was shimmed. The spur is an 88t48p metal gear drilled and mounted to the slipper eliminator. Yup, no discs! The top shaft is unique, no pins but milled to a d shape to secure gears, couple of spacers and NO end shaft slop. I loctited all fasteners, and found a 16t pinion to try it out with. Hang up and Drive |

Picked a cool full size decal for my 1:1 and a scale decal for my rigs. They are nice quality decals that should up very well to the elements. |

Yes, it is indeed in very good condition and very well kept by the last owner. This car was imported directly from Japan. it has 2LT diesel turbo engine. The truck maintains almost in stock forms, except the leaf springs and shocks have been upgraded to Australia made leaf springs and gas shocks absorber. It done 200000KM ( 1988 model not quite high mileage though ). So far I am very with the truck. Thank you | |

| Re: Pics of your latest purchase Did I give you the guitar bug? I played the 'Bird out on Friday. I had some tuning issues, but that could be due to the strings and that it was really humid that night. I think there is a high fret at the 17th fret, as it was fretting out if I bent the high E really far at that fret. It is still under warranty, so I'll bring it in and have that sorted. My biggest fear was that this guitar wouldn't be as "loud" as my humbucker guitars, as mini-humbuckers typically have a lower output. However, the mini's on this guitar are pretty hot. Overall, it had a really good sound and used it for 90% of the night. It really shined on songs where I would normally use a Strat. The mini's provide a fatter tone than single-coils without being overly bassy or muddy. It is nicely balanced and I felt no fatigue from a 3-hour night. |

My experience with mini-hums has been mixed but mostly positive dependent mainly on amps and settings. Same with single-coils. Really cool that you're able to get it dialed in to the point of being able to play live performances. Yeah... they are definitely comfortable and not at all too heavy to use for several hours at a time. Glad that you're happy with it. | |
