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

Go on...

I put the Charvel up on Craigslist and some guy offered a trade. Said he worked for Collings and in his spare time had been buying up Fender bodies and necks and working in his relic techniques. Showed me a photo of a Tele he had just done and unloaded, which I liked the looks of, and then said he had this Strat body he was working on and was just looking for a neck for it. He got the Charvel and I got this and cash.

Did he wipe his ass with the bridge?

This bridge was on your daddy’s guitar when he was shot down playing in Hanoi. He was captured, put in a Vietnamese prison camp. He knew that if the gooks ever saw the bridge they would confiscate it; take it away. The way your dad looked at it, this bridge was your birthright. He’d be damned if any slope’s gonna put his greasy, yellow hands on his boy’s birthright so he hid it, in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years he wore this bridge up his ass. Then, he died of dysentery, gave me the bridge. I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family and now, little man, I give the bridge to you.

My old departed friend Zychek, the local guitar God, had some kind of sweat that eats through guitar parts. That may be why he didn't use a lot of expensive guitars. He was always having to get them gutted and replace all the electronics and metal bits. 

He was awesome to hear and watch perform, incredible talent. But you would never want to buy one of his guitars.

This is our lead singer/rhythm guitar player.  I can play a set of strings for a long ass time.  They'll basically last until I feel like changing them.  Not him.  He gets one gig, then they corrode and start popping like hot kernels.  He keeps wipe cloths everywhere and is constantly wiping his guitars.  Otherwise, all the metal gets corroded and finger gook and grunge everywhere if he so much as looking at them wrong.

💯

bet my bridge would be nastier if I could play with my hand on it without hitting the volume knob

This continues to confound me.

(Even after I have gotten past the poor location of the Strat toggle switch, which can be avoided if you strum over the base of the neck, rather than the natural location of near the middle pickup.)

Who was the fucking moron who thought that putting the volume knob right next to the strings and in front, but near, the bridge was a good idea?

It’s like the idiot didn’t even play guitar. (Or had ever gone through the learning process of beginning/intermediate guitar playing.)

Leo didn't get it right the second time?

ok I’m not the only one with that problem

 

obviously the strat is a paragon of modern design and people are able to play it and even use the knob positioning to manipulate volume on the fly, but it is exactly where I anchor my pinky.

 Also looking at that picture I see the spot where I used a butter knife to pry the volume knob off when switching the pickguard as a 13 year old.

Any clue what this is? From my brother in law who's seeing Manchester Orchestra, Foxing, and Michigander in presumably Kansas City tonight. I don't recognize that logo at all, presumably the cab is turned around to avoid making the mix difficult. Not sure which band this is (would guess Manchester Orchestra) but I can't find anything in any photos or rig rundowns.

Was at Guitar Center tonight while in Tyler. They have a sale going on right now on the Fender Player. Reg $909, now $599. Is that worth it? I don’t know anything about the Mexican made strats. This was the HSS and if I get a strat I think it’ll have to be an HSS

they didn’t have a classic vibe 70’s in stock or I might be posting pics of that right now. Oh well

That’s a good price for the HSS.

If you like the neck and like the look, the rest can be tweaked. 

The Classic Vibe will have a slimmer neck across and front to back. 
 

CV nut: 42mm

Player: 43mm

The CV neck will have a gloss back.

The Player neck is satin on the back.

This is a big day for me. Ive popped my vinyl cherry!

We had a ship date of May for our self produced album from the manufacturer, so we planned a June release. In this day and age where everything takes forever, we were incredibly shocked and happy to learn they shipped earlier this week and arrived today! The CD's we ordered for promo arrive Tuesday, and we'll set a new release date for everything next week - maybe Friday May 13.

If nothing else, I have a new appreciation for all the work that putting a record out. Writing and recording the songs is the easy part. This has been extremely rewarding.

Ill probably cross post this in a couple related threads.

tbone, our paths have been similar over the last few years. Forming that band, writing these songs, and making this record is what I did in the wake of my divorce. It was incredibly therapeutic. Listen to the track, "Goodbye". I wrote that right in the depths of it and I'm very proud of it.

Listen to 06 Goodbye by Racer5 #np on #SoundCloud

That was 8 days after I fell.

Haha.  I was still trying to recover from my wife dropping the city of Austin manhole cover from our water shutoff on two of my fingers.  I’m resigned to just teaching right now.  I can’t imagine having it that bad.  I still have the reach (finger porn)

Seven months of PT and I regained the use of my thumb and first two fingers. Almost six years later and the last two fingers are just along for the ride. Thankfully, it wasn't my fret hand.

How it looks now when I make a fist...

Yeah, I arrived at guitar through 80s hair bands.  Teles were decidedly uncool to my Ratt-listening ass.  Then through most of my adulthood I focused on career and parenting and just had a crappy $150 Takamine acoustic.  Fast forward to a few years ago when life had calmed down and money was not so hard to come by.  I decided to get back into music and all that teen prejudice against hee-haw teles had persisted... until I decided to go play them.
I realize I was a gravely mistaken dumbass.

Wow, I could have written this exact post.

Deej's strat made me think this question might get some answers.  How much rust on pickup pole pieces is too much so that you break out the salt and lemon juice.  My 1990 tele bridge poles are pretty rusty.  Still plays great, and I'm all for mojo, but I want the pickups to outlast me.
