About the only thing with marshmallow that I like.
But the only way to eat a moon pie is with one of these…

…RC cola and a moon pie, it’s a southern states thing.
 
SO.. In keeping with my promise to a poor ebay company. I will trash their reputation every chance I get.

just prior to Christmas I purchased a NEW bridge for one of my treble geetars.

The company GUITARAUDIO on ebay... sent me an extremely used and abused bridge.

total cost was over $300 with tax.

I returned the trash, and they have since ignored me and have not issued a refund.

I had to contact ebay to get my refund issued.

do not spend your hard earned money with GUITARAUDIO on the internet or on ebay.
Public service announcements are always welcome. Good on the bay for getting your refund. That must have been quite a bridge. I thought $250 for a Bigsby was high.

Depending on where one is in the South, it's pronounced "R-O-C Co-cola an' a moom pie".
I always prefer(red) RC 'til-like all the others-they changed the formula [i.e. corn syrup 'stead o' sugar] to be less unhealthy. You can still find "original" formula RC-and other soft drinks(like Vernors ginger ale)at some stores, but yer gonna pay for them. Like ~$2/bottle.

Mexican Coke is big in California. Not that kind of coke. It’s sugar cane vs corn sweetener. Even Costco carries it.
 
The Hollywood one used to be great.
But I’m talking back in the 80’a and 90’s
They remodeled it a couple years before the pandemic. It’s pretty nice. It can be spotty in terms of customer service though. The vintage room is still decent. But if it’s vintage you want, Norms in the Valley is the place.

“Guitar Row” in Hollywood was cool back in the day. It’s pretty dead now.

Norms has always been on their game.
 
The Hollywood, West L.A., Orange and Pasadena GCs can be OK.

The GC sales guy yesterday and I had a discussion about GC and he said some stores were notorious within the GC personnel. "So the Dingleberry store says they have a used Veeblefetzer Whozis bass in excellent condition? It's in garbage condition. Count on it." He appreciated my observations on the Round Rock store (and Austin, though that one's been a while).

I'll eat those, but I have to be fairly desperate. And DO NOT aim an RC Cola at me. I take that as a threat and respond appropriately. (I will drown you in Tab!)

It was a gold Floyd Rose FRX, and excellent tremolo bridge, I ended up buying a gold Bigsby instead.

I'll post some pics when she's done....

They had "pumpkin spice" moom pies in November. I have no clue what they tasted like.
Oh. Lord. I bought a Tab-once. I didn't come close to finishing it.

Sorry that happened. Thanks for the warning, Willy! Have you seen the new movie about you yet?
