NEW GEAR

I've bought quite a bit of new gear over the past few months. Most of the guitars are budget brands like Glarry and Fesley. Got them from Temu or MAC.BID, an online auction site. MAC.BID has several locations throughout the US, so there might be one near you. I highly recommend checking MAC.BID out if there is. Most items on auction have a Buy It Now price, like eBay.

WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS

-- Glarry Semi-Hollow Telecaster SH configuration (Red -- Temu)

-- Fesley HSS Strat-Style (Purple -- Temu)

-- Pyle Nylon String Classical (MAC.BID $16 - 80% less than retail price - Blue - I need to learn how to tie nylon strings)

-- No Name Strat Copy (White -- Temu) - I had my friend's band, Throckmore, sign it. I need to seal it and put their logo sticker on the headstock (seal it too, so it doesn't pull up) - so it's the Throckmore guitar

-- No name Ibanez copy (White & Purple -- Temu)

-- Redpepper 12-string acoustic-electric (Black -- Temu)

-- 88-key electric piano (MAC.BID -- $21 - 81% less than retail price)

-- Beat Buddy 2 Drum pedal (direct from Singular Sound)

-- Roadie 4 powered string winder/tuner (Kickstarter)

[UPDATE]

I don't think I've mentioned or shown these off either, so I'll show them too...

-- Japanese-made West Brooke Classical Guitar (Date unknown. No serial number. I also suspect this one was made in the late 1950s or early 1960s. It was also my uncle's. My aunt gave it to me after he died in September 2019.

-- Old Kraftsman 5-String Banjo (Date Unknown. No Serial Number. It was also my uncle's. My aunt gave it to me after he died in September 2019.She said that he told her learning the banjo was harder than expected. She told me that he never did get the hang of it.

Still waiting on the Twist Picks I backed on Kickstarter. They had manufacturing and quality control issues, causing delays. Should get them soon, though.

I'm currently winning an Ibanez GRX Sunburst on MAC.BID. My current bid is $135, my max is $150 -- if I win it at my current bid, it's 35% less than retail price. It's been at the current bid for a few days, so I'm hoping no one outbids me. Just 1 day and 3 hours until the auction closes. (Sunburst finish) Wish me luck!

My Litejam guitar, a Kickstarter find, is currently being packed, so it should ship within the next couple of weeks.

When I can find time amidst building my photography business, DIY projects, and appointments, I'll post photos and maybe some videos.
