New office for work and music making was delivered a couple days ago, and I got mostly moved in yesterday.  Will be a work in progress for awhile.

Where do you live?

That’s cool. Looks like good place to write manifestos too!

Just curious, how big is that building and what do they whack you for on something like that?

It's 16x12 including the porch.  Inside is 12x12.  This cost just under $11,000 with delivery, and I sold a couple guitars to help pay for it.  It came fully finished inside, insulated walls, ceiling, floor, laminate flooring, wired for electricity, etc...  Just had to run a wire from the circuit breaker box to the shed.  There's no water or heat/air conditioning, anything like that.  I will probably heat with a floor heater in the winter.

I had done this before at a previous property, same size shed w/porch, and I bought it unfinished and finished it out myself inside.  That cost $6500, but was only maybe $1500 less  after I had done the electrical, flooring, insulation, dry wall, etc...  I was learning on the job with some of that, and so I had to pay some extra $$ for some mistakes.

You could get real cheap doing this if you had the skills to frame and build from scratch yourself, depending on material costs at the time.  I don't have those skills.

I can verify at least 1/8th of that is true.

I would say I have a more urban view. Lots of Fire Trucks, Ambulances, Police Cars, Busses, and people of all walks of life. I see somebody nearly get killed in that crosswalk daily. This is where my work desk sits

One day landslide is going to be the end of that ridge on the horizon and I'll have an ocean view! I've been meaning to write the song, "Almost an Ocean View".Resized_20201203_165636~2_906408363646938(1).jpg20220426_155233.jpg

Honestly they didn’t really have anything worthy. Like 3 LPs that were pretty standard 2 PRS’s with everyone’s favorite headstock and a lot of lower end fenders. Honestly no boner material

Anyone got any humidifier recs for the new shed/office space?  What are others here using?
Been using a Venta Airwasher for years and love it. But be warned, the stuff it pulls out of the air will make you reconsider breathing.

This is the guy who had it built:   That pastel, double-bound Tele has my attention.  I'm usually not a bound tele fan, but that thing looks fantastic.

 No bound teles is one of my main rules. 

 

In other news, my 16 year old has a job, has been saving up, and is shopping for American Strats.  The one that's most dad approved so far is a seafoam green American Standard with a rosewood fret board.  Going to be a lot of, "how did that end up in my room" moments if he lands that one.

I don't like them.  I don't like sunburst teles either.

Bound anything Gibson, cool.  Sunburst strat, great.  Just don't feel either option on a  tele.  I don't apologize for it either, what with @Deej counting the pick guard screws on every tele. ;)

We should go guitar shopping then. We will not argue about how Teles should look. Kind of like I always picked a friend who was into fat chicks to go bar hopping/trolling for tail with.

If you find the perfect (for you) sunburst, bound tele with four tv jones pickups on it, I promise not to try to outbid you.

Four pups on a Tele?  What kind of monster do you take me for?

#15839

I dont care much for binding on a Telecaster unless its a sparkle finish, then it needs it for some reason.

Don't care for f-holes on a Tele either. They seem pointless.

Also agree that sunburst is better left to a Strat.

#15840

Man, I’ve always thought most of you were pretty good guys, but now I’m starting to question if I’ve been had all these years. To my eyes this is one of the best looking guitars out there

I wouldn't hate on that, tbone, but there are a lot of other looks Id go to before that one. The beauty of a Telecaster is its simplicity. The more you add, the more you take away.

Hard to beat this, though some would say there already too many screws in the pickguard.

The thing I like about my tele with the F hole is that it's great for sitting around the house playing unplugged.  Just a little bit of acoustic sound is better than just the slab for that  particular style of play.   The down side, for mine at least, is it's just the slightest bit neck heavy.  Like maybe just a fishing weight on the tail end of my strap would be the perfect balance.

Damn it. That's ten screw if you include the ones for the neck pup. Seriously makes me ragey.

You really can’t improve that.

What am I missing here on the screws? The Strat seems to have 12 before counting the PUP screws

#15848

It's just not as clean of a look. Telecasters are all about simplicity and clean lines.

While I agree with this statement in general,, i prefer the additional screws because they are functional. I like being able to adjust the neck PU height without removing pickguard and I like there being smaller gaps between the pickguard and body for sweat and dirt to get through.

Telecasters had single ply pick guards held on with 5 screws (slotted screws until 1953 or so; Phillips after that) until summer 1959, when they transitioned to 3-ply pick guards held on by 8 screws.
