The best things in life are free?

I spotted this left handed acoustic guitar on Facebook Marketplace for $0 last night. “Free to good home, Bronte” the advertisement read. Bronte Beach is a couple of beaches away from Maroubra Beach and how often is it that you find a free guitar, let alone a free left handed guitar out there! I sent Tiffany (the seller) a message to at least offer a bottle of wine in exchange for the guitar, she said no need for the wine, but if I could grab it first thing in the morning it’s all mine so I got up this early, made a bee line for Bronte Beach and the guitar is now mine!

It’s a 2003-2004 Epiphone DR-200S with a solid sitka spuce top, mahogany back & sides, a mahogany neck with a really nice thin SlimTaper “D” profile neck. The rosewood fretboard and bridge were both super dry and soaked up some oil really nicely. Strings are rusty AF and will need replacing but she’s cleaned up really nice!

TFP – Looking for models to collaborate with

Posted on 8 June, 2021 by Justin Fox

I’m looking specifically to create more content for my Patrons on Patreon and offering free shoots this month, but with a twist. The twist being all final edited shots (I usually do anywhere between 30-50 final edits) are yours to use however you like, be it on your social media, portfolio, Patreon, OnlyFans etc., but I also get to use the final edited shots (which you have complete approval of) on my Patreon. IE: I waver my shooting fee, you get free edited photos. I get to use the approved edited photos on my Patreon.

I shoot out of Maroubra Beach so you will have to be able to make it here for a shoot. I prefer natural light (so sunny days are best), 11am-ish starts, 3-4 outfits over 2-3 hours. I usually take 1-2 weeks at most to finish 30-50 final edited shots (all sent to you via wetransfer). If this is something you might be interested in, or if you have any questions, please send me a DM on my Instagram (or add me on Facebook) to discuss.

I’m getting better at ignoring the logo on the headstock, and happy to now openly admit that I love cheap guitars!

Good book. Read it!

I started another thread on reddit that’s gotten a fair few responses which you can check out here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guitar/comments/nqbucc/discussion_im_getting_better_at_ignoring_the_logo/

Background: I’m 46, have owned many cheap guitars for 30 years but early last month I bought “the real deal” for the first time in my life, a Fender AM PRO II. It’s a great guitar, it’s really nice to finally own a guitar I’ve always wanted but could never justify spending so much on, but do I love it more than my cheap guitars? Nope. Does it play better than my cheap guitars? Nope. Does it sound better than my cheap guitars? Nope!

Time and time again I will still grab my old Squier over my new Fender. I’ve since bought a cheap $238 (AUD) Les Paul style guitar made in China but sold by a reputable local guitar company and sure, it had some issues, most annoying of all a couple of high frets that I needed to file down and re-crown, but it plays great, sounds AOK too. Part of me still wants a real Gibson Les Paul… but part of me wants to try other non-Strat style guitars too!

I’m currently looking at buying a Telecaster. $329 buys me an Affinity, $1129 gets me a Player, $3319 gets me an American Original. Will the Player be 3 x better than the Affinity? Will the American Original be 10 times better than the Affinity? I highly doubt it. Pretty sure I’ll be buying the Affinity for sure!

Anyone else in the same boat as me? All good if not, each to their own, right?!

Michael, the exit sign on his neck was completely unintentional!
