Finally found the Taylor GS Mini-e Koa I've been searching for, outside of Chicago. Owned by a pro musician, with some sweet mods and full setup, it's everything I'd hoped. I'll call it a "baritone guitalele" to stay on-brand... #guitar #taylorgsmini #koa

A beautiful piece of history, this 1980 Raleigh Super Record belonged to a late neighbor. The many scratches tell its stories of a life well-lived. It's a sad irony that this magnificent ride is only worth a hundred bucks or so. #RaleighSuperRecord #RaleighBike #VintageBike #WrightSaddle

I'm super curious about the Surf-X ukulele from Cebu-based Wagas. Not loving the idea of paying shipping costs from the Philippines though... #ukulele #wagasukulele #surfx
