Browns Reveal New Uniforms
-
I'm down to watching classic Indians and college football games......and cleaning up my desk and files.
And we finally got Netflix.
I figure to spend much more time fishing this year, so I'm cleaning my fly tying area, fly lines, & re-organizing my fly boxes & tackle boxes to get ready. I've already moved from chaos to "so THAT'S where I put that thing!" Next is to sit there & actually tie some new flies.
If we can't go to the stadium this fall, I can at least enjoy some deep fried bluegill filets.

Sounds like an episode of the Andy Griffith Show in Mayberry......which isn't all bad !
Getting back to a more relaxed normal like of hiking, camping and fishing. Takes me back to my teenage years in the late 60s and early 70s of grabbing my gear and walking to Liberty Lake about a quarter mile from our house. We'd just follow the creek and then we were there.
And come home with a stringer full of crappies, bluegills and other panfish to filet and fry up. Oh yeah.......

Where's the orange guitar?
When I bought my Gretsch Electrochromatic Hollow Body one of the choices was orange. And it looked pretty cool. But at the time I didn't have that white Jaguar (pictured) so I bought the snow white one with the gold hardware and gold Bigsby. ( I DID play the orange one in the music store though )

What PUP's do you have in that Strat?

Those are Noiseless N3's. (it's a 2014 Deluxe - 60th anniversary year, has the 60th ann. neckplate). I had swapped them out and put in Custom Shop '54's with a David Gilmore pickguard (black, of course). It looked wicked good! Sounded good too. About 6 months ago I put it back to original (which is the N3's and mint pickguard, still sounds wicked good) and put the '54's in my Highway One (2005). The 60th Deluxe has S1 switching...which is a kinda' cool thing. (I love that strat...but I love the Jag too....and the Gibson ES-355, and the 2019 Gretsch Billy-Bo Jupiter Thunder, and my Tele Double Cut 10 for 15, and the Tele Custom, etc.)

Yeah.. I have a Parts strat with a Hot Rails mini in the bridge.. and pickups from other guitars.. it sounds great.. I have 2 LP's one a washburn WP-50 with a tiger maple top.. has some unusual ibanez pickup in the bridge And a Seymour Duncan Dist pickup in the neck.. And by golly.. it sounds great.. I have 5 strats in various makes and models.. 1 knock off Tele that I love.. An old Danelectro Convertible , 3 acoustics.. And a beater Sterling guitar Which was basically the original EVH Music Man guitar And I put EMG's in it..

I've got a strat that I built. It's got a rosewood fretboard (roasted maple neck) and 3 lace sensors (a 'hot' lace sensor at the bridge). It had no headstock decal. My drummer said, "You should get one that says Phender". Don't ya know I found one on the net.
Here's my Billy-Bo. Way back when, Bo Didley designed it and had Gretsch build him one. Later on he gave it to Billy Gibbons. Billy said that it was too rare of a guitar to take out on tour so he had Gretsch build it for him. Mine's a 2019. Got it $800 off. Not a mark on it. It's only made in Japan.

Heres a knock of LP and Tele.. And My parts guitar..
Yup, that one has the iconic look of a PartsCaster.
It's a cool feeling after you've built your own. (I like whammy guitars, all 3 of my strats have whammy's, and I like my bridge 'floating' - most of the time I don't use the whammy bar, I use the heel of my palm on the bridge and get a tremolo effect)
If I ever build a guitar again (which I probably won't) I'd make sure that it's got the bridge holes pre-drilled. That was scary, making sure that the bridge was in the right place. A little too far right or left and you've got a string too close to the side of the neck.

Yeah... I hate Floyd Rose bridge systems.. They're bulky, ugly and severely overrated.. Then people say well.. "Standard trems don't stay in tune".. And my reply is "really"... "Then explain why standard trems stay in tune for Jeff Beck and Michael Landau"..... Leo Fender had it right the first time... The true fact is.. Strats with Trems were supposed to be set up stock to be floating.. And sold that way.. Floyd Rose can go to hell.. I have had them and I think not only do they suck.. But they're a pain in the ass!.. I just want to tune up and go...

Then explain why standard trems stay in tune for Jeff Beck
He uses an LSR Roller Nut on his. I have one on the strat I built. Jeff does a lot of big dives. If you're going to do big dive bombs then your guitar will go out of tune but the rollernut eliminates strings getting hung up at the nut. The guitar tech I go to installed the rollernut for me. He told me for my other guitars to rub some Ivory soap over the nut getting some into the grooves when I change my strings. (some people use pencil lead but Ivory soap is white) The other guitar tech at the shop wanted me to have the trem bridge set up flat to the body for more stable tuning. From that position you can only dive (which is what you mostly do with a whammy bar). He says that it stays in tune much better like that...but I float it because I like to palm the bridge for that tremolo, without having to be on my tremolo pedal.

I use this stuff.. it works great.. in a pinch.. I'll use graphite from a pencil.... And yeah.. I knew about the LSR Roller Nut... All the same... I love standard American strat bridges..

Right here.
Yeah. Nice. Sunset Orange am I correct?
2 point bridge, push in bar? (I prefer that bridge & saddles over the vintage).
On the strat that I built I have a Wilkerson tremolo bridge. Quite nice.

Yeah, I'm aware of the 'nut sauce'.
I'm trying to think, which guitar has the Teflon nut. I think I put it in my Highway One strat.

It started life as a 2013 American Deluxe HSS Strat. Metallic Sunset.. Hence the roller nut..
I've used it on one recording I can recall. A TSO cover

I pulled the Fender pickguard and loaded in a Mint Green with Dimarzio HS3's and 2s
