I think this is going to go on the "give it to a nephew" list. My strat is made from a Classic Vibe strat body and sounds great, even when not plugged in. Did you fiddle with the pickup height at all? Oh, wait, I just remembered that mine has Am Std pickups in it. Disregard all but the acoustic playing take.
October 23Oct 23 I could buy a nicer body than I could sell this weirdo for. At that point I'm even on the frankenstrat.

October 30Oct 30 Irsay's daughters are putting up his collection for auction. https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1983862583049281910 Edited October 30Oct 30 by Zwylde
October 30Oct 30 Author Dibs on the bigsby Les Paul this new Isbell signature is actually interesting, although if I’m reading this correctly (it is a Road Series guitar) it is made in Mexico - https://www.martinguitar.com/guitars/custom-special-editions/0-10E-Retro-Jason-Isbell.html the O-17 is obviously nice, but $5k. The 10E has nice specs and a reasonable price at about $1k but I think a Mexican Martin is a bigger step down from a Nazareth guitar than the same step for Fender.
October 30Oct 30 Yeah, that would be my concern. We know most MIM Fenders are legit. Not sure about Martin.

I also cannibalized a screw from the bridge because somehow one is missing from my #1 (for god knows how long). One downside of the little Spark head and cab is that it’s a little small to sit on the floor, and I can’t tilt it back or the head will fall off.
November 1Nov 1 I'm thinking about taking apart and hitting it with some weird rattlecan spray paint. Any recs (besides vaginas)? Who makes a cool glossy sparkle rattlecan paint?

November 3Nov 3 Neighborhood band party was a lot of fun. We had too many people but who cares. The young lady on the right has a great voice. She did some Winehouse, Tedeschi, Joplin. I’m strategically placed behind the bass player.

November 4Nov 4 Anyone know anything about this? Tour dates starting in January. Belly Up in Solana Beach, I’m looking at you.
November 4Nov 4 Mike is a Hammond B3 guy, he kinda takes the role of the bass player, unless they're adding one. He dates Sue Foley (or at least did the last time I talked to him). Go see them if you get the chance. I mean, Billy & Whipper? Crimony.

November 7Nov 7 Nothing too fancy, but a buddy of mine makes a living doing leather work (jokes here) and sent this to me. Its a nice little place for picks, even fits on the guitar strap so I have them close. He does custom costuming for movies and tv. I'm going to have him do the work for a Waylon tele.
