Yes, but to be fair, his service was for a good while a hot item on the Cafe and folks may be trying to refind him for a new instrument. That said, we should be mindful of our internet savvy and...
I agree, this thing's only hope is as a really loud plugged in OM. Ideally really really loud and really distorted.
Somewhere there's a buyer for that. It just ain't me!

Welcome to the cafe! Have fun and ask away!

That depends a lot on your needs. Do you need a flight case (Carlton) if not, save the money. If the TKL case is working better get another one of those. If your house isn't humidified a good case...

Hope you have a great birthday, Dan!

Very Nice! Thanks for playing that.

A flat top and an arch top especially if they have different hole configurations and neck body joins will sound different even to beginner ears. You can noticeably change your instruments sound with...
Nice! When I was first looking for my first instrument I was interested in an inexpensive Marcus Martini Blue finished one. Not NEARLY as pretty as yours. While I'm really not an Elvis Fan, you...
