I may have missed something, not entirely unusual, but is PG ok? Haven't seen anything from him, lately. I was going to ask something re PRS, having just bought a new, to me, Custom 22 Semi-Hollow....

I think he gave us up for Lent.

Maybe he lost the duel with Pinetree about who was the king of the forest.

Maybe someone who knows can PM you how to get hold of him.

He's long gone.
Didn't even say goodbye.

Evidentally, not the sentimental type.

I posted a similar thread back in May and he never checked in.
Kinda sad to see the old guard fading away.

In any case, I wish him well, wherever he "virtually" is...

Sad news.....my "issue" wasn't important. I miss his input...he had a way with words...

I've drifted in and out over the years, so if he's having a "drift out" phase, more power to him. I just hope he didn't have a conflict or soured on anything. He's always been a no-conflict kind of guy, so just walking away instead of saying something seems on brand.

We need to send out a search party: he may be trapped someplace in a big mound of cereal dust...

I reached out to him several times and received no response. He knows where to find us should he want to. Given that he is active elsewhere, he doesn’t want to.

Something must've happened to Pee him off.
Too nice of a cat to just split.

Maybe he just had too many other irons in the fire. He struck me as:
•a really smart guy
•somebody with an extensive skill set
•somebody who has a strong work ethic and tends to get obsessive about whatever he's involved in
•somebody who feels compelled to actively seek out new challenges
•somebody with a full plate
While he was here, he seemed to be "all in": 6400 posts, for cryminny sakes, the majority of which were witty and/or informative
Maybe he just got just really busy with other stuff and found it difficult to continue participating here merely on an intermittent basis.
Just guessing: I don't know the guy outside of here.

Agree Taildragger! He was all that you say he was. He sent me one of his hand made neck holder to lay the guitar's neck in to work on it. He did that without me even asking for it. Very nice gift.

I’d wager he’s still all that. Just not here.
And that’s ok! Life presents us with seasons. Kinda like the summer of George, but way smarter.

Heck, he hand formed the helmet I'm wearing in my avatar with nothing more than a ball peen hammer and a 12" section of Northern Pacific rail for an anvil!
He even gnawed the eye holes and mouth opening with his teeth!
He also fabricated my rocket pack from parts scavenged from a De Armond "monkey-on-a-stick" pickup, an old 1953 Electrolux vacuum cleaner and a Radio Shack crystal radio kit!
He had it all laying around in the spare parts bin in his garage: didn't even need to make a run to the hardware store!

I texted him Veterans Day thanking him for his service. He responded back. We're both USAF alumni.
