keep savingbuy those yoyos you’ve always wanted instead (like the Workhorse)

I do want to add, affordable guitars have gotten MUCH better over the past decade or so. The quality gap between cheap and mid price is much larger than between mid price and high end
So you dont necessarily have to go super expensive, but the cheapest thing on the shelf is usually not worth it if you can save up a bit more and get a significantly better product for a bit more.

No list.
First come, first serve. If there is no interest it can come home.

Got a killer care package from our resident YYBC member and maker @AudreySickburn (thank you so so much!) to go along with this sweet shirt from @rkalajian! Now I can truly sport the shirt properly! 
Weirder Pal (MR85): Slimline stall champ with an MR85 bearing, winning combo! So good!
Keyhole: Comfortable, hefty, wonky goodness, plays so surprisingly well!
Honey-B Bearing (B-Bearing of course): Super smooth, feels like it has a presence on the string, but play and return are light and flowy almost, hard to describe, but a lot of fun. Also, Jazz-Cup-esque, and take apart, big plus!
The Honeybee…LOVE! Y’all are going to have to pry this one from my cold dead hands. Play is phenomenal, weight distribution is spot on, response is great, everything I was hoping for. Plus the profile is just fantastic, and doesn’t inhibit the play at all. It’s like a bunch of bees designed their own butterfly, complete with honeycomb response system, and an adorable engraving. Everything right where I like it to be in a fixie.
Not a dud in the bunch, going to get a lot of play out of all these, much appreciated!!!

The Weirder Pal is super fun. Slimline but so easy on the catches. Great gap that makes play so smooth at a fraction of the width! Stalls are excellent too!
I didn’t even realize there was a bearing in there at first until I looked a bit closer because it was so smooth and quiet. It’s sincerely a good fit on the Weirder Pal!
It’s a whole range of feelings, feels old-school because it’s a bit heavier (which i like), but spin time is great, response is good for fixie tricks, not hard to string catch like some other slims, and very stable for as thin and tall as it is. It harkens back to the feeling of just wanting a really good 0A throw that can easily slip in your pocket, with stalls included.
I don’t have many slims that are close to as good in play as the Weirder Pal.

I absolutely LOVE the Weird Pal, for all the reasons you mentioned (except the bearing, because it doesn’t have one!)

My favorite acoustic is 12 string Luna I got for like $200 (new! From a store known to overprice!) It plays awesome and holds tune incredibly well, which 12 strings in general are not known to do. I pick it up every few months and it’s usually good to go. I would not hesitate to buy another Luna. Also the inlays are moon themed if I remember correctly.
I seriously love this guitar.

Buried in his FAQ (under “where can I get an autograph”):
You can also try sending a letter (and a stamp) to Close Personal Friends Of Al (PMB #4018, 8033 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90046)
