Joined: September 2012 Posts: 811 Location: Thredbo, NSW, Australia | Wow! What a guitar! I was lucky enough to get this off Aussie eBay. It needed a few minor repairs, which I did. I've gigged with it three times now, and each time was complimented on how nice it sounds. So far, I would have to say it's the best sounding guitar I've ever played - both acoustically and plugged in. It will be great to compare it to TAFKAR's '08C next time we get together.

Joined: September 2012 Posts: 811 Location: Thredbo, NSW, Australia | I did a short opening set at a local folk society gig last night, and felt pretty good about it - until a couple of the later acts did their sets. I need to practice more. | ||

They are abundant here a few hours north of Minnesota so you should have them in your neighbourhood too. And they like to steal shiny things, so Banjo I hope you took inventory of your gear after the visit. Edited by d'ovation 2015-08-27 9:15 AM | ||

Joined: December 2014 Posts: 1713 Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota | Nope, no Magpies here - I know they are out West, but none here! We have tons of Crows, but no Magpies. I Love Birds, I have 10 here of my own, Cockatoo, African Grey, Conure, and 7 Cockatiels. And I feed about 50 lbs of bird, squirrel, turkey and deer food here a week. Hummingbirds, Orioles food, and the suet for the Woodpeckers! I justify it as my Entertainment Fund! | ||

Joined: March 2005 Posts: 12758 Location: Boise, Idaho | We get Crows and Magpies and up in the woods we see Jays that are partially blew that we seem to just call Robber Jays. I don't know what the real name is, but they were very clever at stealing dog food out of a bowl right next to a sleeping dog last week. She was all tired out from chasing squirrels, deer and a fox and missed the real thieves. | ||
