When I was a teenager, I bought guitar magazines all the time. There were always these ads with these players I'd never heard of. These were the days before YouTube and streaming, and there was no way broke me going to spend money on a record by some random musician I'd only seen in ads.

I always wondered about this guy Ray Gomez. What was it about him that merited being featured in an ad.

Well I just remembered all these years later and I just now looked him up on YouTube for the first time.

Damn. The guy can play. No wonder he was featured in an ad.

And he looks like Austin Powers. Yeah baby.

 

I was going to say something snippy like, "Well, who else would pimp for Peavey" but 1. the guy can rock, 2. Ed eventually worked with Peavey on the 5150, and 3. after watching a video this week on "how to get the right bass tone" I've regained respect for my bass amp and its 8-band EQ.

My daughter got her bumblebee telecaster today.  She was stoked, and so was I.

I was in Mexico, sitting at a patio table, drinking beer and eating tacos.  Some kid, maybe 10 or 12, comes over singing and playing a guitar, poorly.  I told him "I'll give you 5 bucks if you let me tune that for you".  He did.

5 bucks should have gotten you the entire box of chiclets.

Don’t laugh, but I bought one of these at Sears in 1962 for about $50. Their cheapest guitar in a amp/case combo. 
Yep, it sounded as shitty as it looked….plus my deaf music ears didn’t help.

Still have it? Kay or Silvertone? Would be worth a bit, not a fortune but some money. Those have gotten cool over the past 20 years or so, Jack White was a big proponent of weird funky old department store guitars. And then you have boutique makers like Fano building guitars in that aesthetic.

 

danelectro is indeed weird, I feel like they are the cockroach of the department store brands? I don’t know enough about their early history.

 

new spark hardware, curious.

I have one of these sitting in the corner of my music room.  I'll take a pic sometime and post it.

I also have a couple of amp in cases they were basically giving away, just in case.

Well known that those Silvertone amp in a box all have it.

And Mexican pointy boots.

I'm worried I'd accidentally put the dogs' eyes out.

I love fun stage wear and man that is so much fun. Now all you need is a 59 LP and a Marshall stack to go with.

And some embroidered dragon pants.

Has anyone put any Bootstrap pickups in a Strat?  
The forums pretty much universally think they are pretty good and underpriced at $50. 
I stumbled onto a 89 MIJ ST-54 with the big soft v neck that is perfect for me in every way except for the crap electronics and ceramic pickups. 
Was thinking about giving them a try but can’t decide on which Strat set I’d want.

I’ve been working out some hair metal riffs with the Spark and this popped up:

Half off on a sweet metal machine.

Never heard of them but for me the Golden Ale would be interesting. I rarely come off of the neck pickup on my SSS Strat, but it would be nice to know there is some grunt in the bridge if needed. 
 

Second pick would probably just be the vintage ‘54s.

Those were the two that I was trying to decide on.
