  1. Checking the specs at Alvarez it says it has a 1 11/16 nut with, and comes with a soft bag. The Musiciansfriend specs show "case not included" so they may be not including the bag, which would kinda suck, but hard to complain for a buck and a half.
  2. Just saw this deal on a cheap acoustical at musiciansfriend's stupid deal of the day. I'm gonna think about this one, almost too cheap to pass up. I've been wanting a newer cheap acoustic. But I don't think this one actually has a 1 3/4 nut width despite the given specs. They've been wrong before. That's something I wanted to try. Probably a good patio guitar. $159 https://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/alvarez-regent-series-grand-auditorium-acoustic-electric-guitar/l76381000001000
  3. Fuck McCarthy. Fuck Aaron Rogers. Fuck the crooked as fuck refs. Fuck football.
  4. Dallas doesn't have a stick-mover type receiver any more. Schultz was for a minute or two, but those days are gone.
  5. CeeDee is a number 2 without a number 1.
  6. Fuck this game. It was over before it started. I felt shitty about it all week.
  7. That one may be on Lamb, or miscommunication, or on Dak, whatever. But I fuckin' hate those kinds of routes. Make it simpler. Fuck...
  8. Glossy fretboards and my hatred for the look of Pau Ferro probably saved me a lot of money from buying guitars I shouldn't be thinking about buying in the first place, because I have too many already that I don't play.
  9. In my case it's probably more psychological than anything. Maybe I just think it's sticky. I need something to blame for my ineptitude as a wannabe player. The only thing I do half-ass decent on guitar is bendy type stuff where I can fake my way through some sloppy playing.
  10. Yeah, I hate the glossy fretboards. They feel too sticky to me.
  11. Colors like those also have a bit of reflective stuff in them so part of it can be the room and lighting you are in. It's definitely preferable if you get to see a guitar in person to see exactly what it looks like as opposed to ordering something and hoping for the best.
  12. The color you are describing sounds more like the newer Player's Series color, Tidepool. They dropped Lake Placid as one of their standard colors after they left the Mexico Standard moniker behind and introduced the Players series in its place several years ago. I'm not saying your comments are not accurate at all. I'm sure you're right. Adorama, at least at one time, was promoting the Players "Lake Placid blue" as a special exclusive thing for them. As far as the glossy finish on maple fretboards, I hate that as well. That feature made me NOT buy certain Fender guitars. I couldn't remember when they went from one to the other, whether it was from Standard to Players or vice versa, or if it was something else. I wasn't even thinking about it when I posted the link, so that's good to know. Some folks like the Standard better, some like the Players better. I haven't owned either one. It's still a nice price, though. It makes sense that it would be a 2020 guitar and I bet Adorama bought a crapload of them, since that's pretty much a 2016-ish sale price.
  13. Definitely a win. Odoreater can eat some innings. Kolby can eat...something else.
  14. Tempting price at Adorama for the Lake Placid blue Strat or Tele, $549, a hundred lower than they usually put it on sale for. Go through the Slickdeals link. https://slickdeals.net/f/16166665-fender-limited-edition-player-stratocaster-or-telecaster-electric-guitars-lake-placid-blue-549-each-free-s-h?src=fa-b63fcaf268924e99a85b3cfb8993bda9
  15. I'm not a huge Odell fan because he has been one of the most overrated players in the league for years after his early success, though he did show up in a couple of games late for the Rams last year. But his style is a pretty decent fit for what they are lacking in the receiving corps, somebody that's better in that mid-range area, more physical, capable of taking a short gain and making it a bigger one, moving the chains. A one or two year deal with a reasonable salary could be good. I don't expect greatness, but it can fill an immediate need if he's healthy, though staying healthy is another question. But if they're in a bidding war against some other teams offering stupid money, forget it.

    King's X

    NFL Network show Good Morning Football has been playing "Lost In Germany" in their intro all week, as they are hosting from Dusseldorf ahead of the overseas game. Pretty rare for King's X to get some play on a national level. Probably the biggest thing for them since Paul Shaeffer's band was playing "We Were Born To Be Loved" a lot on the Letterman show.
  17. My understanding of what they did that was a big step up, was the new AI tech that was able to separate each instrument and voice. When they recorded back in their day, all in the same room, each mic had some spill from other sources. They weren't able to isolate each thing to its own signal. Now they can clean those up, separate everything cleanly as if it were recorded on limitless different tracks, and then remix theml like a more modern digital production.
  18. I remember being there when the Cowboys made Matt Flynn millions in free agency by letting him come back from a 23 point deficit, filling in for Rodgers. One of the most depressing 2 1/2 hour drives back home of my life.
  19. I got some of those HEB potato chips in barbecue flavor a couple of weeks ago. I was disappoint. Even worse, I got them because they were supposed to be free with a "buy thing, get other thing free" yellow coupon. But the bbq did not apply, so I had to pay full price for chips with not real good flavor. A rare fail for shit HEB makes.
  20. Probably the same kind of Gorilla glue or whatever they use to put stickers on fruit. I fn' hate that.
  21. And I dug his song on Dog Years. I think its their only song where somebody besides Malford sang the lead vocal.
  22. Holt put out a solo album a while back that's not bad.
