The RG was one I sold, had for 1.5 years or so. I put $100 shipping on the Reverb listing, so it's my ignorance but just figured that would be plenty. NOT. Next time, if I ever list with shipping again, will be pirateship or similar.

I misread your post. I thought you had to pay to send the EBMM back.

Is that price for having someone else pack and ship it???
My last big guitar ship was a PRS 245 in a case and it was less
than $100 shipped. Not much, though.
Also, I add extra for going West of the Rockies. Seems like the
Continental Divide has a surcharge/toll of like and extra Hundo!

I packed it, double boxed with lots of foam around the inner box. Guitar in hard case.
I was just wholy unprepared for that. Didn't remember to try pirateship until way away from the house, and we are in bfe.
Gas is down, too, but think they'll lower shipping? Ha!

Check out Pirate Ship.
My son has been buying, repairing flipping of paintball stuff for years and kept telling me about them.
Used them recently and was pleasantly surprised at the discount.

Realized yesterday (can I post something from yesterday in this thread? ) that I no longer own any floating locking trem guitars!
At one point I had 4 Floyds and an Ibanez LoPro Edge. All gone. Didn't specifically set out to hate any of them, and could deal with setup of each well.
Perhaps the universe worked its magic behind the scenes?

What did you do with your guitar rig today:
Essentially have this completed. I still need to plug in a few things, but more or less complete.

This guitar started life as a Sergio Vallin sig Strat that I bought new 9 years ago. But, I mod'd the f'k out of it because that's what you do Lollar pups with chrome rings, reversed the knobs (the tone knob was stock closest to the strings), added a push pull humbucker splitter, and a 10 way freeway pickup switch. It also did have a boss GK-3 pickup installed at one time. I removed that but the little rubber height spacers are still there by the bridge.
This guitar has been in storage for awhile because the freeway switch crapped out some time ago and needs replacement. So it's time to make it reborn again with a simple 3 way switch, and overall setup and cleaning.

I've been going down a rabbit hole that I probably shouldn't....
It started with the Do Something challenge and getting the bright idea I was going to cover a new Gilmour tune, he's using the weirdest fucking tone I've ever heard him use on the solo.
(timestamped)
That doesn't sound like a Strat to me, way too much midrange honk and not Strat-y at all. He's got a Yamaha RA-100 rotating cab on tour with him but even he's not trying to recreate this tone, so there's that to feel better about.
I started learning the solo while tweaking, this is where I'm at so far.
He always gets credits for his bends and I know I'm guilty of associating that with the big bends, but this solo is full of these tiny little bends into other notes, they're so subtle and really understated, they're a bitch to nail.

After practicing from 3pm til 9pm I resurrected my Tele and finally put some compensated saddles since the into nation seemed to haven gotten gradually worse.

Also I realise I get lazier the older I get.
I have my stuff set so I don’t even have to get out of bed to practice or record.

I am taking pictures for insurance purposes. We are directly in Milton's crosshairs... So I am taking pictures of my more valuable instruments, casing them up and storing them as high as I can. We are a block and a half from the Braden river.
So, I thought I'd post a pic of my Gibsons
