    Behringer X32Rack or something else?

    I have an XR18 and X32. Both are great pieces of kit that should serve your purposes well. It's one of the rare instances where I actually choose the behringer over other options because it's actually a quality piece of gear on its own right. Did not like the soundcraft I had.

    Anyone try a Kiesel Osiris guitar?

    No, but this isn't Kiesels issue, it's FedExs (which DO suck). By disputing the payment method for the guitar to Kiesel AFTER they've shipped it to you but it is still in route, you're essentially pulling a common scam where people do this exact thing in the hopes of receiving the order anyways...

    Anyone try a Kiesel Osiris guitar?

    So FedEx rerouted your package (something VERY common) and delayed delivery by a day or two, so you initiated a charge back on Kiesel, who made and shipped your guitar, and you're upset they banned you? I'm pretty sure any company in their right mind would do the same after your behavior, which...

    How long does a guitar that stays in tune actually stay in tune?

    I don't know, but my 98 Parker Fly Classic stays in tune better than any other guitar on the face of the planet. I restring it, tune it, then don't have to tune it again until the next fresh set of strings.

    Acoustic guitar recommendation

    For me acoustic guitars fall into two categories. The first are sub $500 beaters, the next $2k+ "real" guitars. Everything between 500 and 2k is a wasteland and you're basically overpaying for that 500 dollar guitar because it says brand X on it and kinda resembles one of those "real" 2k+...
