Just ordered an SD

[Royal]

Well I finally decided to get one when I saw they were on sale. Good price and was not that much more than a normal starter kit.
I got a complete kit with two batteries, a charger, two attys, 5 blank 901 carts, even a lanyard and a small bottle of juice. I also ordered a couple of adaptors for a 510 and 801 atty to use with it, and one of those little leather SD carrying pouches to boot. Plus an extra 5 901 attys and three extra batteries, which was packaged as a spare kit.

So all in all that is 7 attys, 5 batteries, an SD, a battery charger, 5 blanks, a lanyard, a 10 ml bottle of juice, two atty adaptors and a leather pouch for only $129.00

I think this sale is only good until the end of the month if anyone is interested.

I ordered it late yesterday evening and got the shipping confirmation and tracking number a couple of hours ago. So looks like a fast turn around.


Just one more item to add to my collection.

Hi,Royal I think you will be happy with it.I have also been buying the spare's kit not a bad deal.Let us know what you think.

[Rick]

WTG Royal. You seem to be stocking up on mods lately. What do you know we don't?

[Royal]

Not a thing Rick,
Just getting even with the Mrs.

I wanted to buy a new Gibson Les Paul Standard and a Marshall half stack and she said no. I may get it anyway. It would be a drop in the bucket as compared to what she spends on clothes.
Though if I do, I may be sleeping with that new guitar for awhile.

Nothin wrong with THAT !! Just remember, the "bleeding fingers" expression is bad enough, so don't don't get TOO friendly


Sounds like a good deal on the SD. Where'd you end up ordering from ?

Not that I'm looking to purchase one, as I'm set on and quite happy with my FistPack with 510 carto's at the moment (unfortunately, not enough to put me off 100% with the stinky's yet, but further reduction is good while I search for a new juice satisfaction that will work for me).

On a side note, MAN.... I got some of the Rath Waffle (dark) from Clouds Of Vapor when I ordered the 510 carto's and is it ever TASTY !! Not an all day vape, but a true waffle and maple syrup taste (to me) that makes you go hmmmmmmm.

VapeOn,
Greg

Good one Greg.

She says when I learn to play more than two or three songs, then I can get one. I take lessens everyday, and am slowly progressing.

I got to try a Les Paul Standard at the music store, and man does that thing sound sweet, but so is the price tag. They wouldn't let me plug in to the big 100 watt Marshall half stack tube amp though. I guess they are afraid of blowing the roof off the store.

I ordered the SD from TW U.S.A. Haven't done business with them in over a year, thought I would give them another chance.
One thing I noticed about the listing for the SD there, They try to say that the batteries are specially made for the SD. They are just typical 18350s which are a common Li-ion. Nothing special about them. The ones they sell and come with the kit are only 900mah. Battery Junction sells some 1200mah 18350s.

I can see how something like a waffle juice, might make for a good breakfast vape.

Why not a Custom?



Good prices too.

Free shipping Gibson les paul CUSTOM guitar Top quality good price

Although being lazy I'd opt for a low serial number Robot model.

Hey BB,
Those are cheap knock offs. You can tell by how the Gibson name is printed, the under score of the G should be level with the tuning post, plus there are many other tells like the name plate saying "60s style neck" on it. They will usually say standard or custom etc, and some may have Les Paul's signature on them if it is a signature model. Plus there are many other tells. Does not come with a hard case for one, if you can see the serial number, that too would be a dead giveaway.

Real Gibsons always come with a hard case. And is always made in the U.S.A.
A Custom is pretty much the same thing as a Standard. The Standard, not as the name suggests is the flagship of the Les Paul design. The difference in a custom and a standard is the custom is dazzled up with gold or silver plating and enlays and such. Which doesn't make it a better guitar, just prettier. though some models like the traditional standard or the plus, may offer different pickups, the 57 humbuckers or the higher end burstbucker pros are used. I am leaning towards the Standard Plus with the burstbuckers, this is the one I played in the store.

You will never find a real Gibson Les Paul standard or a Fender Standard American Stratocaster for such low prices. Les Paul Standards and customs list for around $3,500 to $6,000.00 but can be purchased if you shop around for around $2,500.00 for a standard and a little more for the custom trim.
Fenders generally are not as expensive as a Les Paul, but still very costly.

Never buy a guitar from an unknown company, The real thing is not cheap. These knock offs are made in places like China, Korea and Taiwan, or South America, and use inferior woods, mass assembled, and sub grade pick ups, bridges etc.

Check out places like guitarcenter.com or musiciansfriend.com
Here is a real Les Paul Standard. Gibson Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar and more Solid Body Electric Guitars at GuitarCenter.com.
Here is a 50th anniversary les Paul custom. Lists for $10,000.00 on sale for $6,499.00.

I don't need to pay that much just to have a flashy custom look.


The Robot, Well I don't know if I would want one. It has some cool technology that auto tunes the guitar for you. But with an electronic tuner, this is easily done, and a quality Les Paul will stay in tune for a long time. If Les Paul were still alive, though I could be wrong, but I doubt he would have approved his name going on the Robot. He did not like the SG and insisted his name be removed from it. Since then the SG is only known as a Gibson.

The Robot you listed is also a knock off.

Check out a real Les Paul robot standard. It lists for $6,108.00 and is on sale for $3,665.00

For the Les Paul Robot standard , you are paying a lot of extra money for a Standard that can tune itself. No thanks, I will turn the tuning post myself.

Only buy from a reputable and authorized dealer for Gibsons or Fenders.
You can always verify if a dealer is authorized by visiting the Gibson site, or the Fender site. Also note, that Gibson Les Paul's are hand assembled and as a result are not mass produced like these knock offs.

I buy a lot from Musicians Friend,that is where I got my acoutic bass from .Local shops are sometimes worth the extra cost for a good setup and support after the sale.I can do my own setups so I don't worry about that much.Either an authentic Gibson or maybe an Epiphone would be the thing to get.I kind think I would like to get a Gretsch archtop with Bigsby .

[Royal]

Musiciansfriend.com is a good reputable dealer.

I like shopping Guitar Center, because we have one close by. And I can also order online from them as well. Plus they have a price beat guarantee. If you find it cheaper elsewhere they will beat that price by, I think it is 10 percent, even if it is after the sell, they will pay you the difference.

I was getting some fret buzz with my Fender Strat on the high E. At first I blamed it on myself, but over time I realized it wasn't my playing, rather an adjustment that needed to be made. I took it in to guitar center and their lathier adjusted the truss rod and also tweaked the bridge a little for me at no charge. Now it sounds great and no more fret buzz.



I had a feeling this thread would go off topic when I replied to Rick the way I did.

To get back on track, MY SD did not arrive today.
It will most likely be in my mail box Monday, so I still have that to look forward to.
