What’s with this Christian Wade only get a single touch per game? I know he is learning but let’s she what he has. Maybe they don’t want another team to take a chance on him.

Thanks for the idea, just picked up a Dahlin and Josh Allen too. Like $42 total, worth a shot to see how they look, lol.

FWIW, I just ordered a telecaster from dhgate for 220 bucks... Wasn't expecting it but got a legit counterfeit Fender Telecaster, with the Fender name and logos all over, a legit serial number that says it was made in California in 2009, and it sounds like a dream.

I was going to build my own to these same specs and it would have easily cost me $1000.00 or more and I wouldn't have done half as good a job...

It's honestly the equivalent to a custom shop Squier, but with the Fender name on it instead. Which is funny because the factory it was supposedly made in also makes custom Fender guitars, in Corona California...

Looks like it sat in a warehouse for a few years, shows signs of natural age and has a very unique set-up; A Floyd Rose bridge, gold hardware, a single-coil at the neck and a humbucker at the bridge (usually the other way around on a Tele), a matte black paint with a black gloss pick-guard and aged ivory trim and a tobacco-stained neck... The thing is (frank)ing gorgeous.

To anyone who doesn't know better, I could convince them it's a custom shop Fender that cost me $1500.00 and even then, it's pretty damn convincing.

A Floyd on a Tele? Interesting.

- Wetbandit1

I love Floyd's, they are a mother f'ker to tune but once you tune it up and start playing... Love them.

I hate regular Tele bridges with a passion but love their look and sound. From what I understand, the only standard Teles that come with a Floyd Rose are Jim Root signatures... and I am NOT trying to play a Jim Root signature... ugh.

But this guitar for $220.00? I would have easily paid $500.00 for this same thing if I didn't know better.

Nice.

I got a new guitar in February, I almost went with an LTD with a Floyd, but it was going to be my only guitar, so I decided against it and went with a PRS SE instead.

LTD/ESP guitars are surprisingly good, but I don't know much about PREs...

Is yours a neck-through? Or is it a bolt-on? Anything neck-through is a good choice, I would think a PRE is similar to a Schecter?

I mean this as only a personal preference, and not as an indictment of anyone else, but I just never felt comfortable wearing a jersey of someone younger than I am, unless it's a family member, which won't be happening anytime soon. I'm not sure why I feel this way.
- buffalofan19


I felt the same way, but said screw it eventually

My next jersey will probably be a royal blue Olofsson if he has a halfway decent year

I think it’s fine to buy them. Wear them is different

It's a set neck, so in between.

PRS's are all around guitars. They're not really like anyone else, they have S type and LP type shapes. But they're not trying to be either Fender or Gibson. Their artists range from Mark Holcomb to Mark Tremonti to Carlos Santana to David Grissom to John Mayer.

The new jerseys aren't really practical to wear anyway. My new erod jersey is the adidas "Fanatic" type, which is cheaper and thinner, so it's not really a practical thing to wear anyway.

My blue Reebok Vanek jersey is way thicker. I wear it with a hoody underneath and it's warm enough to wear as a light jacket through November at least

Would be nice if we ever played in May or June. NHL site has some good deals on the Winter Classic jerseys and some Fanatics fyi.

It doesn’t look bad in general,
but it’s too close to the Ottawa colors for me to like it as a Sabres Jersey

Keep it shades of blue & gold imo
And I’m not a fan of the ugly goat head either

That’s just me though

The Sabres used royal blue as an alternate jersey in 2010-11, with a script "Buffalo" across the front that many fans found reminiscent of the days of the AHL Bisons.

Did people not like this one? I thought it should have stuck around longer.

I think it would have looked better with just two stripes at the bottom, but overall pretty good imo
