The Shark

A buddy told me they were great. They are. I don't know about their "shit". But all shit does stink.

Bare Knuckle Black Dogs are hardly "Exclusive, boutique, platinum member hand wound pickups". But they are the shit. And I never sniff anything.

Here's "SA"...now has Thorn Staple pickups in it. Fantastic guitar!

Maybe!

I hate stainless frets. They do sound different. Brighter...

Twenty five minutes from my house. Omissions abound. Nope.

Kind of my point. I consider myself an expert in tax law with respect to my clients in Florida. Everything else is just me regurgitating my research of others guidance. Nobody knows the tax laws for every state. There's no money in that.

Paolo will do whatever you want. He won't, however, include logos that infringe. I'm considering one of his FRFR powered speakers with a tube pre-amp for my Kemper. But I'm going to need a 12" speaker. I know he'll oblige.

Only in "Community Property" states. "Common Law" state residents don't enjoy that 100% step-up. So, there are only nine states that are community property states. Sadly, I don't live in one! And a "Pre-Nup" blows all that up. In substance, a pre-nup is designed to ensure property isn't "community".

Paolo is a great guy and a fantastic luthier. Two of my three guitars were finished sooner than he quoted me. All three are excellent. Remember, he may just be posting a pic of a completed guitar, so that exact one may not be for sale. I've had Paolo send me pics of the work just a few days after I paid the deposit. TGP faithful scoffed at his eight week promise to build my Flying V during COVID. It came to my door with days to spare. It's my favorite Flying V ever.

I'll be selling about fifteen guitars after May 1st, but I'm not confident that I'll be able to sell for fair value (what I think they're worth). Not sure it matters, but everything I see that catches my eye on Reverb or other forums has been for sale for a long time.

It isn't all the way there, so I'll abstain. But it's a strong 1.5 times the value. And the market is soft.

I wouldn't pay that for ten of them.
