I have become baimun, destroyer of worlds

I believe @baimun had posted a pic of a Harmony earlier. I think all that’s left, not mentioned, is Gold Tone, Heritage, Jackson, Journey, Kramer, Lakland, Larrivee, Loog, Peavey, Recording King, Reverend, Rickenbacher, Schecter, Sire, Squier, Steinberger, Sterling, Strandberg, Suhr, Traveler, Washburn and Xotic.

It’s probably not another Reverend. It must be a Suhr, because, who wouldn't want one?

Unless I've missed something, we've guessed all the brands Sweetwater currently carries. But, they do have an online market where customers can sell used guitars.

For anybody else who read this list and said, wait, What? Recording King makes solid body guitars? I need to see this myself but, life is busy, I'll look into it tomorrow but, tomorrow comes and you still haven't googled it and you are still curious. Lap steels.

Cursed by @smurfco, I looked up to the heavens and cried “Oh my God. A defect!”

A couple minor but noticeable cosmetic things that will drive me bananas in part because they’re right where I have to look at them while playing. The guitar plays and sounds good but this one isn’t so amazing that I’m like 100% into it warts and all. I got a call into my guy.

I’m usually not a crazy person when it comes to little cosmetic oopsies but I’m gonna Karen things up and see where we wind up.

EDIT: It’s headed back to Indiana from whence it came. My Sales Engineer was AWOL for the last couple days so I had to get someone else to help and then had to follow up on that guy at the end of the day with another person to finally get a return authorization. It’s nice to get loving aftercare when I buy strings or whatever, but I kinda expected a little more action when I was shipped b stock/factory second merch as new.

Back at it with something different that hopefully won’t disappoint. It’s profoundly boring and kind of off brand at least in terms of aesthetics.

Sweet baby smurfco! This has been an odyssey. The defect that caused the heavens to weep. And then in a fit of madness I bought something coal black and tough looking and got cold feet worrying about future fingerprints yet to be born.

Then I tried to cancel/change the order and the company was having a bad day and all hell broke loose and it took forever to get my money back—in part because I learned my guy has been AWOL because of some health stuff and I’ve been working with the JV squad.

Then what I was looking at was out of stock or only available with the optional boat anchor package or with the giant neck pocket gap option. Then I spent some time dithering and considering other options.

And then, bingo bango one of the umpteen things I was considering came in stock without a bunch of funky downsides (name for a new @baimun side project doing Princed-up versions of goth classics?).

Anyway, now have this incoming for the HH side of things.

Yeah. That ring will be getting replaced. I get that they’ve got black plastics happening for the other colorways in the line, but it’s not awesome

I would probably swap the pickguard and neck pickup for a traditional Tele pickup just for more variety in tone in combination with the bridge bucker, but I'm aware that some of my choices aren't always the most popular. :grin:

My primary and nicest electric is a conventional tele. I have a Harmony with P90s. Basically I was casting about for something to do the HH thing and for use in high hum situations.
 
Well…decided to mix it up and tweaked my order at the last minute…went with a maple board option…

As I’ve mentioned elsewhere I’ve been living a pretty discombobulated lifestyle of late and it’s really turning some of my decision making apparatus to goo.

I’m feeling good about my choice (finally) after buying every other guitar known to man.
 
Ironically, I think the black bezel is fine with that one… the maple board looks good with the orange… the rosewood looks so good with the shade of blue that I didn’t give it a second thought.

I mentioned on the blue one some thoughts on changing the neck pickup…. The orange one screams “One Pickup” to me. Maybe just direct mount the humbucker and hide it under a solid black pickguard. :helper:

You must be dreaming about the Noventa teles they had out a few years back.
