NEW GTR The yellowish strat is my new ride. The NEW COOL TRICK: these kill buttons. I love the arcade style on the new guitar.
I always put a Hot Rail in the bridge position so l've started just getting customer pick guards too.
Thanks to GuitarFixer Bob for the work.

Home stereo discussions with Elm City Sounds. Need an amp to power these 70s Japanese Coral speakers I got for my studio from Inner Space Sound Labs
Happy birthday, Michael. I love and miss you and still think of you often.
Looks awesome. Love it. 😍
Love it!!! 😍
I love this idea!
The button I’m putting in my other guitar is bigger - an actual arcade style button. I’ll let you know how it comes out!
I modded my guitar with a momentary kill switch.
✨🤘✨
I am working on my backup guitar to have the same setup except it’s an arcade button. Can’t wait to show you all when it’s finished. S¡¡¡CK!!!
Early XMAS gift FOR ME!!! I have a 100s of old 4-track tapes that I can’t wait to dump and digitize. Yay!! Dreams do come true.

Let’s estimate that Apple sells 50 million iPhones per year in the US. Apple couldn’t manufacture 50 million iPhones per year in the US at any cost. No amount of money could be thrown at the problem and make it happen that 50 million new iPhones are made in the US:

Jeremy and colleagues, Many deals I work on have concepts of conditional notice. This is mine. Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment, which should include at minimum (i) signing on to the firm amicus brief in support of Perkins Coie in its litigation fighting the Trump administration's executive order against it, ii) committing to broad future representation, regardless of whether powerful people view it as adverse to them, (iii) refusal to cooperate with the EEOC's request for personal information of our colleagues clearly targeted at intimidating non-white employees, (iv) public refusal to fire or otherwise force out employees at the Trump administration's directive or implied directive and (v) public commitment to maintenance of affinity groups and related initiatives. This is not what I saw for my career or for my evening, but Paul Weiss' decision to cave to the Trump administration on DEl, representation and staffing has forced my hand. We do not have time. It is now or it is never, and if it is never, I will not continue to work here.
Tonight, hours after the Paul Weiss news broke, an associate at Skadden Arps sent a firm-wide email:
"Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment...We do not have time. It is now or it is never..."

iPhones are briefly changing 'racist' to 'Trump' due to an iOS dictation issue

"Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights. "If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not 'inalienable' and they're not 'rights.' "We don't have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins. "And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with."
I've been screaming this for years.
Here's a little thread of some excellent videos of people punching up this week. First up, the Governor of Maine, Janet Mills, telling Trump, "I'll see you in court," to his face and on video. bsky.app/profile/atru...
