I have a few with EMG's and built a guitar and put a Fishman Fluence pickup in it. Those are pretty unique. Well at least on clean tones. If you play Metal tones, then pickups dont change the tone much. Unless your comparing a single coil to a humbucker. Here is a mutt I slapped together with an EMG81. Its a Fender Lead body with a Strat neck. The body was a wall hanger at a restaurant !!! Had a few screw holes to fill. Still had the fender markings in the neck and body cavities. Pictures are quite fuzzy, but you get the drift. Plays really nice, but weighs a damn ton. The weird shaped guitar is a clone of a Gibson Corvus. That one has the Fishman pickup. I put a roasted fender Tele neck on it. Been toying the idea of getting a CNC Router and making my own necks. It would speed up making bodies too.

Never owned a Charvel guitar. Will be here tomorrow. Yee Haw !!!!

Damn sounds familiar !! My wife and I had covid three times. Last one was this past December too. Ive had all my shots and was down real hard this last bout. Caught it first week of December and Im still not 100%. Second bout of covid I was down maybe a week. First bout, when the shit first showed up, I was down for a good month and didn't fully recover (If I did) until two months later.

Fun, fun !!! Drive it much or just a show car driven a few miles a year ?

You need some Fenders on the wall !!! Hell anything but Gibson !!!! Expand your horizon !! Im about ready to purchase a Schecter and a Charvel. Never owned anything from either company. Well they are owned by Fender. Been eyeing the new Kiesels (formerly Carvin) too. I had a Carvin built back in the 80's and the craftsmanship and playability is impeccable. I had not played that guitar in a few years and took it off the wall and played it. I forgot how great these Carvin/Kiesels are. Pricey, but well worth the money.

Nah Im always in the 40's. Its lag, but, not the normal lag one would experience with server or node issues. Mine is more a control issue.

Sorry for your loss. Prayers coming your way.

I have noticed my mouse is kind of jerky and some lag lately. I've tried other settings too and its the same. Who knows. Maybe the weather . I may update my drivers and see if it helps.

Here is my daily driver. 1991 Nissan 300Z Twin Turbo. Many engine mods, but kept the look pretty much stock. So much fun to drive !! Wife doesn't like it because it melts her face when I get on it (g-force). My garage is a mess !!!

In the future, fusion can be the answer to interplanetary travel too. Good stuff.

Fusion has always been the best answer to our energy problems. Unlimited energy, zero emissions !!! Well it seems there has been a big breakthrough in this area. I doubt I will ever see it come to fruition in my lifetime, but maybe my gkids will. Interesting stuff. https://www.foxbusiness.com/energy/us-scientists-make-major-breakthrough-limitless-zero-carbon-fusion-energy-report

Triplets !!! I love me a nice Fender !! Never have any issues with Fender (unlike Gibson). Sorry StormCrow. I've had many Gibson's in the past and all had tuning stability issues and other problems. Mechanically nothing I couldn't fix with a proper setup or replacement parts. But the nitro finish they use is problematic. Especially during the late 80's and 90's. But Gibson's do hold their resale value. Hopefully one day I will come across a nice Les Paul that I like. I did have a early 80's wine red Les Paul Classic that I liked a lot. That one stayed in tune !! Plus the finish was fantastic. Sold it. Had a Les Paul Walnut too (80's) that played real nice. That guitar looked like shit, but was all original and played like a champ. Sold it to. I have been on a G&L kick lately. They make very nice guitars.

Is it a wrap or airbrushed ? I've wondered if wraps would stick to guitar bodies. Guess I could "google" it

Never too late to start !!!

I love to see that !!! I just built a copy of the Gibson Corvus model and installed a Fishman pickup in it. Those pickups are different. Not a traditional copper wound pickup. Very high gain. More gain than EMG 81's !! But also have a nice clean tone also when the volume is dialed back. I put a Fender Tele style neck on it. Love the neck. So its a Fender Gibson inspired hybrid !! I planning on buying a CNC router to do my own necks and too speed up body fabrication. Laid everything out by hand on this one and used power hand tools. Took a while. But the results are outstanding. As far as other weird guitars. I never owned a Dean Guitar and came across this Dean, Michael Shenker Strangers in the Night model years ago. These I believe came out in 2012 ? The bridge pickup on this model is the "Lights Out" pickup. Very nice passive pickup. I've played it handful of times (still minty fresh). It mostly hangs on the wall Not an expensive guitar by any means. But it is extremely well made and plays great.

Hope you got it back !!! But then again it is a Gibson. Sorry, I've owned well over 20 Gibson's and have only found 2 keepers. Quality is all over the place with Gibson. I still have a Gibson Corvus II and a 2007 SG (GOTW) with three single coils and a chicken head pickup switch. Both are hard to find and play great. The Corvus was produced from 80-83 if I remember right. So ugly it didn't sell well. Was suppose to be a headless guitar, but Gibson changed their minds and put a headstock on it. Crazy. But get yours back !!! Dont lend shit out !!!

I always pick seats behind the mixing console when going to concerts. Best place for listening. Well, unless the sound man sucks. Been to a few of those. Went and saw Weezer years back and the opening band was Motion City Soundtrack and wow the mix was horrible !!! Thank goodness when Weezer came on the sound guy got his shit together.

Shoot the fuckers !!!!! Eat em all up !!! Damn car killers !!! I have a couple nesting behind my garage and want to take them out !!! But wifey likes them. We raised a deer back in the 90's. Lived under our kids swing set. It played with our kids and followed me around when I mowed. So naturally the wife thinks its one of its offspring.

72 degrees one day and snow on the ground the next day !!! Hate this time of year.

Fooled me !!!

Here is a maggot encrusted steak I did the other day !!! Yum yum !!!!

The "bt" sound would be a hell of a tongue twister to pronounce !! In todays world even though banks and credit unions are federally insured, what happens when both fail !!!! Your fucked !!! In that situation we will rely on the "Barter" system. Real Estate, precious metals, and of course other tangible items of need will be used. Gold Standard here we come !!! Real Estate (especially farm land) is being bought around here by large corporations and Investment firms at a much higher rate than in the past.

Pete's Alive !!!! Hey where are my rocks from overseas ????? You forgot !!! Man I had a very nice piece of Beatles memorabilia was going to send you for grabbing them !! I thought you loved me man !!??
