EDIT:*one example: at the end of one of the ballads I sing, the rhythm is 4 descending eighth notes on beats 3 and 4-with a ritard-to a held whole note. He plays triplets against it. Doesn't really work. I've mentioned it-once. He doesn't change. Back to shrugging.

Tell him you are going to play triplets and carry thru on that. To be contrary, he'll switch to eighths. Tell him you will continue to play triplets, but play eighths.

So nice. It looks like Koa wings on mahogany, no?

I think it’s all Koa (except for the maple strips)
I would love to build a Tbird out of this stuff!

A neck-thru T-bird (neck & body Koa) would sound great but it would be heavy. My Factorbird body followed my '64 in its dimensions/measurements and it's heavy, but it has a maple 'headless' neck so it isn't as heavy as it would be if all Koa with a big T-bird hs.

When I was 'dating', Starbucks was a neutral meeting place for a introductory 'date'. Haven't been in one since. :)

Better is offer a choice between local Starbucks and actual local coffee shop. The answer gives you much more information. Enough that you can decline on the ones that want to meet in Starbucks.

A bit like a bowl of M&Ms...

Good point - I'm just glad not to have to consider such anymore.

My favorite tuners are reverse tuners, cloverleafs, I like lollipop tuners though too. Reverse tuners are easier to turn to me and more natural once you get used to them, not many people agree with that though as far as I can see.
