I need this on a shirt (different shape-NR-of course):

Snow Day, spent a little time with the Chickenbacker. The bridge is worse that the three point for parts falling out without string pressure, lol. But after taking a file to a stuck slider/saddle carriage/channel in the bridge I put a set of Smith Slick Rounds on it, 44-103. I like this combo! And a nod to George with the purple silks...

I’m always impressed by snow at sea level.

My daughter has it in East Boston again.

We last had it up at the mountain Thursday night. It’s slowly melting.

NBD, occupational hazzard of working at the great great House of Guitars. So a few weeks ago a Inverness 2023 Nonreverse came into the store, I tried to ignore it

honest I did but they made me a offer I couldn't refuse, those are not just mere words in my tag line. 🙄😁 but words to live buy. Obviously some 7ender player thought they could tame the unwieldy Nonreverse, better is comes home with me. 😄😎

Really jealous about the King Crab, I love it so!

I don't recall you mentioning being engaged ( maybe I missed it), so I want to say Congratulations, George, here's to your happiness!
Thanks so much! There’s a room at the house here with your name on it (right next to the Bass room, 30+ Tbirds within arms reach) come on down! SoCal is a completely different world than central or NorCal.

add bottomless mimosas and they cap you at 90 minutes.....50 bucks...no brainer...

When I go out for dinner the reason I never order Alaskan King Crab or Fillet mignon or prime rib or any Italian dish is that I can do it better and at a fraction of the price, and there’s no limit on the amount I make or serve. Anyone in the club here is welcome to drop in at any time and join in on the food, libations and festivities.

Where you been?

Actually, they told Geo, Andrew, and I when we got together a few weekends ago. Now we can formally congratulate them!
Thanks!

Chuck, you gotta come on down here some time! I have some custom builds that will rock your socks! You and Dave are constantly Jet setting around the globe, sooner or later you gotta land in SoCal.

Seconded (or whatever #).
Florida man! I almost moved to the north eastern coast of your great state. My previous wife really wanted to relocate there, then cancer happened and changed a lot of our priorities. Still a beautiful state with tons going for it.

Congrats George!

Can assume a full Thunderbird Orchestra for the reception?
Absoutely! Haven’t decided on where or when the wedding will be, but if I can incorporate some of the great band talent here in the club at the event I’ll certainly do so.
