i love this thread, i've been asking myself the same questions...:eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Lefty said:Since it came up, what are the benefits, if any, of reeded vs. unreeded sweats? Does a reeded sweat simply make installing the sweat easier - or easier to correct in case of a mistake?
I'm having that feeling that (A) I really know what I'm talking about but am making little sense, or (B) I don't know what I'm talking about and not letting that stop me from going on and on...

Lefty said:Mossyrock, if you wanted to know if you should bid on the Johnnyphi Strat, as you've now done, you could have just asked. I think everyone that isn't a size 7 would have immediatley just told you to go for it. Like the one GWD picked up, it's a really great example of a hard to find hat.
Good luck with the auction!

There's a certain 'complexity' to the felt on these that's hard to describe. In the way that wood is not just one solid brown or that a brunette's hair picks up different colors throughout when in the sun. And see that sheen I was talking about? Nice. You've got the brim on that just right too!
