Was the poster ripped to shreds? Or their opinions? Were there multiple posters saying "YOU SUCK AS A HUMAN; PLEASE GO DIE" or were there multiple posters saying, "YOUR UNINFORMED OPINIONS ARE HORSE SHIT AND HERE IS WHY"? Are both of those equally bad in your eyes? I'm legitimately curious. I read through the thread and agree that the back and forth turned silly and not at all interesting, but nothing registered to me as a personal attack. But maybe there was and I missed it? I am too lazy to go sift through the horse shit again to find out for sure.

How does this reconcile with "LOCK HER UP!"?

Oooh, new avatar material

I know the Fullerton AVRI strats from the early-mid 80s are pretty valuable/collectable now. I think they go from $2K to $4k depending on condition and if its a 57 or 62 year reissue. I know a lot of people try to piggy back that with the later 80s AVRIs and like to claim "the neck was carved in the Fullerton plant before assembly in the Corona plant!" or some such. I played an 1984 '62 AVRI from the Fullerton factory at Austin Vintage Guitars and it was nice, but the 1993 '57 AVRI from the Corona plant they had played better to me and was $2000 cheaper. I'm guessing its roughly equivalent to a late 80s strat made at the same factory. Anyway, I bought it and it's a guitar I will own and cherish forever.* * "Forever" limited to ~2 weeks

Yeah, series is probably not a great term, but people tend to classify MIJ Strats by that letter at the start of the serial number.

His syphilis is no longer latent.

Shouldn’t he be brought in as the head trainer?

If you think Operation Wetback is good, wait until you hear the details about Operation Coon Hunter.

I agree that that is what is happening, but it doesn't matter. The Dems have to find a way to overcome that. If the government is gridlocked, bypass the fucking government. Get some of that George Soros crisis actor money and organize community investments and programs outside of the scope of the federal government and attach a big D to it. You can't just say, "Whelp, we would have if only..." I don't care what flaming bag of shit the Dems have to deal with, they were voted in to deal with it. If they can't deal with it, they aren't the right person for the job and the party needs new leadership that can.

I mean, 43% of registered voters didn't vote in 2012. A significant number of these people didn't vote because they believe the system is rigged against them. Their vote won't matter. Trump turned them into Republican voters. This is why the "polls of likely voters" were so fucking off. A bunch of unlikely voters were suddenly motivated to vote. Without them, the GOP fades away as demographics change. He's talking to them again, and its why all of this legal jeopardy helps Trump. The last election was rigged. Your vote was stolen. They are trying to rig this one. They are trying to keep you from being able to vote for me, your champion, ever again. They are trying to hold you down, again. To put you back in your place in the bottom of the fucking American shit heap. This is the important thing to understand: He is taking the basket of deplorables' perceived victimization at the hands of the educated, successful and prosperous societal elite and attaching it to himself. He is saying that he is being victimized just like they are. Persecuted. Oppressed. Held back through no fault of his own. But, he's giving them a way to feel like they are doing something about that victimization. Get out and vote. Help me and you are helping yourself. You aren't deplorable. Your life has been made deplorable by "them". Vote for me, and you are doing something important against "them", and with "them" gone, your life will be what it should be. The truly sad thing is that all the energy and resources they put into their support of Trump is just completely wasted. Even (especially?) if Trump wins, their life does not improve. They will still be in the double wide struggling to make ends meet, falling further and further behind against inflation. I'm not saying their support should be redirected to Biden, either. Just fucking use that energy and those resources towards education, or training, or anything else not criminal and their life has a chance to improve more than it does with personality X moving into the White House. The easiest way to expose Trump as a fraud would be to give these people real help in the form of government policy and investments. Trump's self-portrayal as their benefactor can only stand up in a vacuum of empathy and beneficence from the rest of society.

I recorded this solely with a Spark (drums excepted). So Guitar or Bass into the spark then USB to my computer with the Spark working as the analog/digital converter and input interface for the computer. So it's all just factory Spark presets for guitar or bass. I think I was still using Garage Band here as a DAW. It's a completely workable DI recording solution.

With a Surly discount of tree dollars and fiddy cents.

I’ve recorded with the spark, you pretty much just run a USB cable from it to your computer and then set the spark as the input device in the computer.

Went ahead and ordered a new fender style bridge and a pre-wired pickguard with Fender 57/62 pups. I’m not enamored with whatever custom shop pups are in this. Should get it much closer to what an all original ST-462 would look/sound like.

Has there ever been a more appropriate post to respond with... ?

ST-462 E-series with some still unknown custom shop pups. Bridge, pickguard and pups aren’t original, I think the rest is, but dunno for certain.

Yeah, this is an E-series, no crazy (or any tremolo). I'm 99% sure its a 7.25" radius. Gonna take it apart today and see what else I can learn about it.

You've got at least one guitar I'd trade this for.

1989 made in Japan hard tail strat with a motivated seller. The pickguard and pickups are not original. Has some fender custom shop pups in it that I can’t fully identify. It’s been knocked around a bit and has an all natural relic job but the neck/frets are in good shape. Plays and sounds great. Deciding if I want to keep it for awhile or just re-list on reverb. If I keep it, I’ll probably swap the pickguard and knobs for parchment.

Paywall, can you paste the contents?

Do it for Ashli.

Well, this happened. It is Straturday, after alll.

Will there be fruit snacks?

Its really more of a donkey dong vibe.
