Dioxit it is; thanks Tom!

edit: that worked a treat!

Ah, the joys of a 5 year old NOS guitar....

I have a (new for me) 2015 Classic, love it. I have recently been experimenting with the technique of using the 5th finger to work the volume knob in order to soften the picking attack so that it...

As luck would have, I literally just found my Elixir cable while going thru a box of studio odds and ends. Good point about the short cable distance.

Way back when, a coupon for a free Elxir cable came with the purchase of a TA guitar. I believe they are no longer making them. What's your favorite these days? Tom?

Well Tom, it appears that Elmer's Slide-All has been discontinued. Found something similar (dry, PTFE) and it worked great!

Thanks Tom! The guitar was in FLA for 5 years, but sold and shipped to me here in lovely AZ (105°, 10% humidity). I'll find the Elmer's Slide All spray and give it a try. In the meantime, I have been...

As noted elsewhere, I recently bought a NOS 2015 Classic from a guitar store in FLA that had closed. The hardware on the case (clasp and two locks) stick quite a bit, definitely a difference vs my...

OK great, thanks!

So, very happy with my new guitar! Last quick question- Position 3, I assume that is both humbuckers together with the Tone Knob In, and split single coils in series with Tone Knob Out? So that it...

And here we go...more purple than abalone, but still beautiful:

So on your website there is an example of Abalone-T. Purple Burst, it looks absolutely gorgeous!

It is hard to tell, but I think my guitar will be more purple...

Well, it looks like I will be committed soon; expecting delivery on Friday! Now to explain this one to my wife...

So there is another brand new Cobra on Reverb (oops! not anymore...!), Mocha Quilt and HC1-HC2 pickups, but the pickups are uncovered. I thought that would make them HF pickups, but the official TA...

Yeah speaking of wardrobe, I have a nice charcoal grey suit (had to get it for a wedding on the East Coast last fall) and one of my shirt choices was a pale purple with a purple and silver grey...

Definitely not as purple as it looks:

The seller sent me some addition pics, the neck looked more normal in room lighting vs their guitar studio. If I were to...

So just tooling around Reverb, because I've got the TA fever and think eventually I may want a Cobra to go with my Classic (once my credit card recovers). Someone just listed a new (05-05-20) Cobra...

btw Tom- this guitar is just awesome, thanks!

Great, thanks!

May I also get in on that for my recent purchase?

Well, that didn't take long, here it is:

Olympic white, it looks yellower in this pic. I ended up with Even Taper, and it feels great, I think the Plus 30...

In the summer, in the late afternoon, humidity gets as low as 3%. Seriously. Today at 5 PM it will be 7%, but just after sunrise it will briefly hit 35%.

Great! I have been using an Oasis Plus+ case humidifier, but I am also going to look into the Boveda packs. The humidity is currently ranging between 10-24%, and it hasn't even gotten that hot here...

Thanks again Tom!

Well, the eBay seller accepted my offer, so now the neck dimension question is moot; Even Taper it is! Now I have another entirely relevant question:

This guitar is going from...

LOL, I was literally quoting Roy when I spoke to him this past January...!

So what about the Plus 30? I am leaning in that direction, but there is a Classic currently on eBay that fits my specs...

Yeah, my current (non-TA) guitar is SSH; if I were a gigging musician I would opt for that, but lately I have been moving toward the SSS concept to really nail those 2/4 tones. Eventually I may want...
