I was hoping for this outcome. Congratulations!

38 for me, and I have more than anyone needs. Wicked cool, and another example how the internet makes my obsessions trivial.

Jay's website is in his signature block.

Thanks very much! Just purchased these. Great deal. Best, Bill M

Polara finds the coolest guitars. Good luck down there.

Great stuff.

Buy from Tonefiend with confidence. He’s “straight up”, and his guitars are absolutely as described. I’ve got one or two he previously owned, and am glad I do.

My older brother took me to see "The Sailor Who Fell From Grace with the Sea" when it first came out, probably by accident. Made a big impression. Despite that, I've always had a favorable impression of Kris Kristopherson. He probably deserved it.

Pretty cool! Pretty, and cool.

Wow. This puts lots of things into a different perspective. Good luck with your recovery. Given what you have already done, I won't bet against you! Wishing you the best. Hang in there!

Love that Jaguar!

It certainly is!

Mitch, echoing the zen-ideas: The idea is to have fun and get better, one small step, one day at a time. I laugh when my playing sounds good, and I don't laugh at much else any more. Playing guitar is a source of joy; not sorrow or regret, at least for me. I'll never be a good guitarist, or a good golfer, or a good whatever, but I can keep improving every time I put the time and effort into the endeavor. Stick with it. Don't judge yourself by the best-in-the-world, or the best-in-the-HFC, or those on You-Tube. Instead, consider whether or not you are getting better. It is the best most of us can do.

Or in my case, how fast my lips move.

Black rings. You need the contrast.

Apple Music's "Team of Experts" huh? OK, but who cares what they think? I bet they put a ton of thought into this, whoever they might be.

440 3-phase. Don't step on the shore power cables. Just don't.

Fantastic! What a work of art! Any of us would be proud to have either. I like the black one best, but both are spectacular.

Kind of/sort of matches a Newport I recall seeing, wistfully and lustfully.

I'm glad you are able to stay in your house, and your workshop. Your work is always especially impressive, thanks for sharing it. Good luck, to you and your hound!

I was taught to never give a standing ovation for anything the than the very best, ever. Lots of audiences have looked at me with scorn since, as I tried to adhere to that standard. Whatever. That Hocus Pocus performance certainly warrants a prolonged standing appreciation, however. I've seen it on YouTube before, but it remains incredible, fantastic, strange, compelling, and amazing. The Dutch can Rock, even while yodeling. Awesome.

Fantastic, and inspiring to watch the process!

I just showed all this to my wife, who kept exclaiming "Wow, he's an artist." I think she's right (at least on this point). Nice work!

It jumped out at me and asked I my wife: "What was he thinking?" As I said earlier, all I can do is admire this. Nice work.

Fantastic, as always. Very impressive; makes me envious. No kidding - this is a pleasure to watch, and all I can do is admire.
