Sounds and plays heavenly. McPherson is not as widely known as Martin or Gibson etc. But their early guitars are way underrated. And the cantilevered neck never moves. It is an engineering marvel.

This is my second McPherson. Living alongside an R Taylor, Taylor Custom, Kevin Ryan, and the lowly but really solid playing old Yamaha.

I walked into that store expecting to buy a Gibson slope shoulder dreadnought. But once I had this in my hands it was a done deal. It smoked the Gibson and Collings I was looking at. It sits by me waiting for me to finish internetting and play some more.

Love it. Sounds like a great guitar! Congratulations!

Bought this Ryobi trimmer and brush cutter to hopefully be able to cut down the crazy bamboo in our back yard. It has already destroyed my chain saw chain so I had to buy a new one of those.

If anyone else has had experience cutting down bamboo with relative ease, please let me know! We are just trying to maintain it.

I'd have to say that bamboo is a good 2-3 notches more than "brush". That is good for tall weeds with stalks <1" and tall grass that gets tangled in line. If you destroyed a chainsaw, this will be like building a house with toothpicks imo. How big is this bamboo???

I have no experience with bamboo, but I have used that blade. Wear serious eye protection and long pants. It throws a ton of shrapnel.

And don't use it on long grass. The grass will just wrap around it and get tangled.

Thank you for the heads up. The sizing ranges from brand new shoots which are golf tee thickness all the way up to quarter size diameter. Half dollar diameter are all the way in the back and those wont be touched. Just want to maintain the front of it and go back a foot.

Only two things have worked:
- A machete
- A red handle hand saw

Those take forever to cut through.

A few years ago, the machete slipped out of my hands and took a chunk of our my ankle and I sliced my wrist. It's pretty much the worst fuckin thing.

We tell everyone wanting to plant some to fuck it and get something else. Its a fast growing weed that is a bitch!

Thank you for the heads up! I haven't opened up the packaging and might return it.

I just picked up another Dewalt XR 20 v tool. Im planning on replacing the rotten wood around the bottom of the garage door trim with Cellular PVC TRIM. This should help.

I have two of the Ryobi versions. Once for large nails and one for brads. They do make life easier.

Use stainless nails for your PVC trim, not galvanized. The galvanized will start to rust and leave streaks. Ask me how I know.

So - ordered these on February 20th - initially they stated 8 to 12 weeks for the custom order, but at the 12 week mark, they changed it to 16 weeks. Here at 17 weeks, finally arrived.

Valencia Seating - Tuscany. Nappa 20000 leather in brown, curved setup, added heat and massage (key on the word "and"...cause it looks like I can do a massage by itself...but heat requires massage to be running) - this was a wasted $1000.

Quality of the units is there...but little pissed they didn't ship the trays I negotiated in...and the extra wait sucked. They also received payment up front...charging the card immediately. Thinking, decent product, but the customer skills are not quite there.

Needless - here they are. Goes with the 77" LG C4 OLED I got a little bit ago for the bar room update.

Appreciate the review and details. I'm definitely looking at new Theater seating for my Home Theater in the next several weeks. I've heard similar complaints about Valencia.
I'm needing 6 chairs. That wait time sucks.
But congrats nonetheless.

The new guitar rekindled my passion and I'm playing more. Problem is it HURTS everywhere. Back, knee. I hate being old. So hoping this new seat will aleviate some of the pain. On order. This is a stock photo not mine and that isn't my guitar.
