Yeah, I was, some 60 years ago. Not for long, tho.

My rank has increased to Explorer 👍 I'm not sure what i was before, tho 🤔

Yes, guitars are very much getting cheaper and better, and rondo music isn’t “The Only Deal In Town” anymore.

No Agiles, but about 5 or 6 SXes and one Hadean from rondo. Love the jumbo frets on the SXes! I changed out the neck on the Hadean Tele I bought because it did not have jumbo frets. More like Fender Vintage frets, not good 👎🏽

Floyds themselves, and I’m not talking about licensed Floyds, are themselves almost $300 new, if you want to go down that road. I have OFRs on three guitars I have, and when I bought them circa 2007-2010, they were more than $100 cheaper. If I needed to buy a new Floyd today, I would go with the non-fine tuner Floyds which are now readily available on eBay, Reverb, MF, etc. for about $120. I don’t use the fine tuners that much anyway. The cheaper licensed Floyds are not that reliable, except for the Gotoh and the Schaller.

I don’t think Eric has changed much since then, to tell you the truth

Whoa

Who is, or was, Enoch Powell?

Wow

In the 2 years+ since I made the previous post, I've gotten a C-Tech Sonny Boy pedal. I like it as much as the Red Rooster. The Sonny Boy seems to have more "Blues Mojo," tho. The Red Rooster has more of a Classic Rock vibe to it. Pics

SlagleStrings Fat Bottomed Tens, 10-52 gauge. I play anything from blues to metal.

Thank you!

Humbucker in the bridge position. I started off playing “clean” too, but now I’m all about distortion.

Currently, I’m using 10-52 gauge strings on all of my guitars, including my 3 Floyd-equipped guitars. BTW, my 3 Floyd’s are all OFRs. I’ve tried Specials and licensed Floyd’s and I just don’t trust them as much as an OFR. I’ve had strings pop out of the saddles on cheaper Floyd’s.
