Montecristo Espada... Worth the price?
I've HEARD that they can last for DECADES if properly cared-for.
The fact that matters TWO LIVES WERE LOST THE FUCK
I could get no information about the other driver at the time.
Good words! You dont even have to ask me...here i go! And id like to add, i remember when this happened. What a heartbreak.
Thanks. I just bought a tin of red and was wondering what the difference was. Thanks for the education.
I bought a Missouri Meerchaum corn pipe last year I put a brass screen ,first time using it. What do you think of a brass screen at the bottom of the bowl I've ordered stainless steel screens, haven't tride them yet. I'm enjoying the cob pipe, and I also ordered 2 more cob pipes from the company 2 days ago I'm looking forward to trying them But, please give me an insight into using the pipes with screen Or should I try the modification like you suggest I enjoyed the video
I see no reason not to try a screen. If it sits above the draught hole then you might get a nice smoke without too much ash coming through. Enjoy!
I stuff cotton inside the springs.
Thanks for sharing!
When it came to musical tastes, my dad and I only ever agreed on one thing: French jazz violinist Stephane Grapelli, who had played with Django Reinhardt, was a genius. I saw Stephane play several times and took my dad to see him once ---- It was the only time we ever attended a concert together. My mom loved musicals and would happily have dragged me along to those, but I can't stand them to this day.....
My parents would have bought me an acoustic guitar ---- but I wanted an electric and they weren't having that in the house; my dad even threatened to smash my stereo because I played the Jimi Hendrix version of the Star-Spangled Banner from Woodstock, on the 4th of July. I had to wait until I was on my own at age 19 to get an electric: a cheesy Teisco "tulip" guitar from a tag sale for $12. Shortly thereafter I got a beat up Fender Mustang with dead pickups, which I hotrodded with new pickups, followed by a Fender P-bass. I no longer own any of these. I miss that Mustang a lot: It was ugly ---- competition orange with a racing stripe ---- and the vibrato on those Mustangs was never any good so I "blocked" and immobilized it, but I routered it out to fit a Seymour Duncan PAF hamburger in the neck position, and a Bill Lawrence stacked single coil "blade" pickup by the bridge, and shielded it, and it played and sounded great.
"Tastes like Canada"
It's where the strap came from, according to the tag.
I don't mud cobs until I have completely (naturally) burned the stem "overhang" flush. I do not believe in modding them. I let the stem burn smooth naturally. Then, only if necessary will I mud them. I respect the 6 year olds, they're cute. I have a MM legend (paid 3.99 for it) that I bought for a camping trip in 1993. Still smokes flawlessly. Not mudded. Gets smoked at least once a week. I've replaced the stem a handful of times, but the cob itself is perfect.
Nice review! Excellent orange cat! What does your new guitar weigh? Thanks!
Thank you! I don't have a scale, but I believe it's about 7 lbs..
Whats the fretboard radius?
It's really flat, at least a 12". Could be 14" or 16".
@@PipeCat1965 16 is what Sean said.
I have been smoking a pipe off and on for 60 years. For a long time I only knew of codger blends like Half and Half and aromatics. So I mostly smoke aromatics. But I took up the hobby two years ago seriously and I have trying to branch out to other things like English blends and Virginia/Perique blends. Last night was the first time I smoked Quiet Nights. I couldn’t believe how good it was. And when I came in from the back patio, my girlfriend remarked how great it smelled. No matter what kind of tobacco you smoke the most you will probably like Quiet Nights.
It's still my favorite. Thanks for the share. Enjoy!
Diabetes does horrible things
To say the least.
Could I add pipe mud after the Shank has burned out on the inside of the bowl?
Sure. It will make a nice flat bottom and will protect the bowl. Just don't block the draught hole (stuff a pipe cleaner into it first, then remove it before it sets up). You can do anything you want, because you really can't hurt them.
@@PipeCat1965 thanks!
A beautiful tribute. It's sooo sad.
Can u provide a link to that color? I have it in sea green, but I've never seen this rendition.
Dude, whie I'm not particularly interested in your mods, after learning to play better, perhaps I will. In the meantime, you played the hell oughta that thang, AND performed that song DAMN WELL...actual made my day, because my Dodgers lost to the Damn Yankees!
I subscribe to Scar my guitar, and his good....but I'm becoming annoÿed with all the divas, "modding" without having TOUCHED the guitar. Sean @ Scar my guitar, is among the reviewers who do exactly that.
I tried to give it the best shot I could right out of the box. But I bought it for a reason and it wasn't cutting it for that reason until I did some stuff to it. Thanks for watching.
I have the Fojill mahogany light relic Strat. I love it. The electronics weren't great, but I put together a loaded pickguard with alnico v pickups and a wiring harness with big pots and thick braided wires, and now it sounds amazing. The mahongany body ones also come with kluson vintage split post tuners, which I absolutely love. I can leave the guitar alone for weeks then pick it up and it's still in tune. It's better than my Squier Affinity Strats and almost as good as my MIM Fender Standard. It's definitely an upgrade over the one in this video. It also comes with a MUCH better padded gig bag than this one.
So glad you got a good one. After a lot of tweaking and a few mods, I have mine sounding great and I use it in my soul band. It has a unique tone and the tremolo now moves smoothly and it stays in tune for the most part.
I have one too, bought it in sea green about a month ago. Plated WELL, right out of the box!
Mine is like yours but his sound shit what the problem
I have the red one with the maple fretboard and a Bullet Mustang-90.
These have really caught my eye recently thanks to uncle Larry. Great review, great playing. Subbed.
Everyone in my whole family calls me Uncle Larry! This is the go-to axe for most everything I do in my classic rock band. It's a killer.
how long did it take to ship! thinking about getting one
Was in stock. Took about a week. If you get one, enjoy it! Still love mine.
PAFs aren’t hot.
I love light weight guitars and Paulownia is very light. Another name for Paulownia is Empress wood.
Didn't know that - cool. Yep, it weighs nothing. Surprisingly, the tone of this guitar is highly vocal in loud context and I have been complimented on it. Using it with an older Johnson JM-60 Marquis amp.
My heart aches still today…he came into my life when I needed contact from another human. A personal hell that was my life, was saved by Bigfoot odyssey…Kerry and Linda. I miss him…them… Daniella…the entire community. Being a mod, n friend, was a great honor, one I’ll cherish always. One day, I’ll tell my tale Kerry…one day. 🤗 🕊️ 🙏
I put this in my hookah. It's the only tobacco I will use for it.
I ordered the exclusive Fender made in Japan "Junior Collection" Stratocaster. You can only buy these from Japan. It's a Fender Stratocaster - not a Squire - with a 24 inch neck scale instead of 25.5 inch. The Mustang you're playing also has a 24 inch neck scale, but you can't get a Stratocaster unless you order it from Japan. The body is also shrunk by 6 percent, which is hardly noticeable. Its still looks and feels like a full size guitar. Don't get it confused with a "mini". It's not a mini guitar. I'm going to scallop the neck and put some YJM furies pickups in it and play some Yngwie style neoclassical shred. Jake E. Lee's signature ESP guitar was a Strat style body with a 24 inch scale neck.
Have always loved Japanese Strats.
@@PipeCat1965 I agree. The Japanese craftmanship is excellent.
looks nice
Hey now!
Very pretty and sounds beautiful.
Bone nut? Have you ever tried a Gearit guitar?
"Synthetic" nut, which I suppose means it's plastic. No, I have not tried a Gearit guitar. Any good?
IMA get a cherry sunburst one. They've been getting great reviews. 🎸
It sounds better to me than the HH bullet Mustang, more classic fender, it had that twang
Agree!
I had an encounter with a sasquatch in bankhead forest in Alabama and I asked a few questions about it to the game warden the day it happened and a couple of hunters that there with him and after the giggles and stares I got I never told to many people. When I heard Kerry Arnold and his encounter, although his encounter was terrifying, but it resignated with me and I decided to go on his show with him and Daniela Alogia Kerrys co host. Just like you said he and I were instantly friends from the beginning. Kerry was the one person who you knew you were going to be safe and understood when you spoke with him and Daniela. R I P Kerry Arnold 🙏 your legacy will always live on.
Way cool! I have a similar SG copy by Kent. 🎸
I remember Kent guitars!
It's so awesome to buy a $100 usable guitar and then modify and improve it to make it into a great instrument. 🔥🎸
sound test pleeeease ... specially high gaaaaiiin .... ;-)
Awesome review, thank you for posting. I recently purchased the Sonic Mustang after watching your video, not sure Im ready for one of these Fojill but the point is that these days, 100 bucks can get you up and playing. And yes, most very cheap guitars like Glarry and such, have very soft neck wood.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words. Oh, I love that Mustang. This was my first experience with the soft neck. Lends unusual tone.
You said it "plays like butter".
it does. Land-O-Lakes.
How do you play butter? 😮
Never been accused of that before.
2nd time an internet personality died and im a year or more late. i had no idea he died until today. i was in the mood to hear his encounter story again as i had an hour and 15 minute drive. i typed his name in and see an obituary. im saddened and i hope his wife is well.
Any single guitar out of the box I don't care if it's 500 guitar or a $5,000 guitar it needs to be set up properly it's a piece of woof
nothing special
Let's all Kerry on !
I just ordered a red one like that. I have a Strat style, from Leo Jaymz, it was a kit. everything was A1.
Pipes don’t smoke. If you pack a pipe well it smokes well. If you pack it badly it smokes bad. So pipes don’t smoke!
I believe that 3/16 " your on about acts as a moisture trap as the baccy sits on top of the shank for the most part and that contributes to there cool dry smoke
I have the same Kay guitar 👍😎 second one o ever owned my dad bought it for me when I was 10 I have to rewire it.
