re: Consider a Pyrenees dog

Posted by bgoodwin on 2/20/24 at 2:59 pm

I've had my Pyr about a year. He's huge, but very docile with family, kids, even the outside cat. He works the night shift around my house, patrols the treeline looking for coyotes all night long, sleeps all day. Anytime a coyote makes a peep he runs WFO into the woods to run it off.

Grab a used Squier or Epiphone off FB marketplace. You should be able to find a decent guitar for less than $200. The key is having it professionally set up. I gigged with an $85 Squier Strat for a couple years, sold it to a bandmate, he's still using it. Setup is 100% the key to a playable instrume...

Differences have been blurred over the years, for sure. Play 5 different guitars made in the same factory, you'll notice differences in each. Best Strat I ever had was a 80s Japanese made Squier. My current workhorse is a G&L Tribute Series ASAT Special, made in Indonesia. I've A-B'd it against gui...
