I'm curious how you can have Sharia law and a godless nation at the same time. Edit: Well someone beat me to it on the next page

That's a trade I'm willing to make! Marginally. Definitely made it easier to move with all the correct hardware and finish, sold before it even hit the market.

Soitenly. Yeah like I said I have always been a Standard player for going on like 30 years now, and still have 2 of them. It's mostly a circumstantial thing that brought me to pickup the Custom. I do really enjoy the neck on it though and the ebony fretboard, and it's also fun having 490/498 pickups again. Takes me back to the 90s. And the '58 was a killer guitar, I just kind of got to the point where it seemed silly having that much money tied up in it. I can say that since I sold it I feel 10 times more confident it was the right decision. You can literally buy 50 of this LPC for what that guitar was worth, which is just madness.

Not terribly far i don't think, I sold it about a month ago

I will put it on the scale at some point. my 76 is 10 and some change. The ad listed this one a 9.5 but I haven't checked myself.

So a late 64 is the one vintage Strat I think I want to take a whirl on one day

Counterpoint. But I will say the heart of my white white LPC love is

Small setup later and this rips. It's been a hot minute since I've played a Custom, I forgot how much I like the necks and ebony fretboard. I've always played Standards for the type of music we generally do, but lately it's been more punk rock and the Custom is perfect for that. One reason I never got one before is I'm just not a collector and don't want to many extraneous things around. Considering moving my R7 if this works out.

Thanks man, I'm pretty stoked. It's a '99, I was in the hunt for either a late 70s or a 90s one. This kinda kills two birds woth one stone, my desire for a white Custom, and my love of 90s guitars. So I actually had to go pick up this and my 76 Standard just out of curiosity. The 76 is subtly but noticeably heavier lol. But they are way closer to each other than my R7 which is a feather weight.

Well, since I sold the Burst, I had some money burning a hole on my pocket, so I went on the lookout for a guitar I've wanted pretty much from the earliest days of playing, but never seemed to get.

So while I remain skeptical, it does seem to be making inroads. I have a bunch of construction workers actively calling it the Trump diesel price right now.

Cooper is pretty popular in NC, which helps a lot

I thought it was anywhere in the world in 48 hours

Yoda has aged poorly

Can we put the libs on layaway

Cheering for OU just reinforces my opinion of their character.

I cracked up, was gonna post this as well.

I did the Keith 5 string Tele thing very early on, when I was like 16. Kinda gravitated away though and just fake it anymore. Though I did do it maybe a year or two ago for old times sake when I was restringin my Tele

It does though, it erodes your capability for searching yourself. Now whether that means something to you is completely your call, but it's happening. I'm not making a value judgement on what that is worth to you as I am not in your shoes, I am just pointing out everything has a cost. It's similar to how Google eroded our ability to search on the internet. Someone well practiced with boolean search logic could find stuff much more precisely than Google 20 years ago, but because Google was basically a search engine for people who shouldn't be allowed to use the internet, it muscled everything else out. We are paying the price for that now as Google is degrading. The alternates are usually things with crappier algorithms like Duck Duck Go (which I use typically)

Time matters in every space. I am a business owner, I am pretty intimately aware of profit and loss factors. But to the very thing I was saying, which you clipped out, you are not calculating the human cost. Is 4700 dollars of shareholder profit worth the destruction of human cognition? And before you answer also factor in UPS was profitable before Claude existed. All you are doing is trying to justify a margin predicated on efficiency. They can run their business at a solid profit margin while paying their employees without that efficiency gain, which for all intents and purposes just lines rich people's pockets.

I mean, you responded to me bud. I have no opinion on your life one way or another.
