    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..

    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.

    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.

    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

    I thought I noticed a roller nut.  I like that sunset color.  I still like my 2014 Deluxe with my David Gilmore...but I put the mint back on because it's the 60th anniversary year.   The mint guard probably makes it pop more.

    [Edited]     --- I removed the pic for 'this' one which shows better how it really looked with the black pickguard -

    So, if Tampa & Atlanta are showing off their new uni's......When will our polka-dots be unveiled?

  • ... and we're back to guitars...

    Which reminds me of a story... I bought a bunch of miscellaneous vacuum tubes (all were NOS, but low audio demand) from a local guy on ebay years ago. We met in a parking lot to settle the deal. Nice guy.... guitar playing EMT for a town north of Houston. We ended up swapping ebay and scrounging stories and his was of a big box of guitar pieces he noticed when on an injury call to a business in his town. Chatted with the owner, made him and offer and took the box home.

    Turned out to be pieces of about 2-1/2 vintage Fender Strats from the early 60's... he about shit himself. Anyway he contacted Fender and arranged for them to reassemble, repair and authenticate them. Cost him a lot more than the box did, but he way more than recouped his outlay by selling one. He put the other in a glass case in his "play" room.

    Beat the hell out of my best story...

    Tampa Bay basically went back in time, pre-the most puzzling rebranding in NFL history, and brought back their great Mike Alstott-era uniforms. A lot of people were clamoring for the Bucs to bring back their creamsicle uniforms from the 70s and 80s, but a lot of people were wrong. They did keep the oversized helmet logo from the alarm clock uniform era, though.

    The Falcons new unis suck. So painfully trendy, they'll age incredibly bad. 

    And Lynyrd Skynyrd's Allen Collins was a criminally underrated guitarist. R.I.P.

     I was one that ranted against the digital alarm clock numbered  ball sack nose new unis. Had arguably the best unis in the league and the Retard triplets decided they had to put their stamp on things .. I guess effing up Manchester United wasn't enough..

    Yes re: Allen Collins and the Falclowns new unis.

  • Tampa's newish uni's are nice.  The Falcons?  Well, they have 3 letters on the front of theirs.   I think it's an airport designation.

    Just like in the military....if you have an idea....you are put in charge of implementing it.    So go do it.

    Again....point out the differences between the Bucs and the Falcons Unis in that photo  (besides the helmet).  I guess I am not seeing much. 

    Edit....I guess I see a slight difference in the numbers...that's about it.

    No.....they are both  red, black, white.    TBs  red may have a slight bit more orange tint....very slight. 

    Unless you got another picture that shows the differences better. I am not really seeing much of that Pewter color.....which was lighter than this almost black they have now.

    Show me another photo......I see red, white, black.   Maybe you are the color blind one....and the troller.  The colors in the photos you posted were very very closely the same.  

    Maybe I will do your job for you....

    Here may be a brighter photo of the Falcons:

    Browns to donate proceeds from new jerseys to COVID-19 relief

    "The Browns are getting a new look this week, but they’re also looking around them and realizing what’s going on.

    The team is unveiling a new uniform design later this week, and helping their community in more ways than just aesthetically.

    According to Peter King of NBC’s Football Morning in America, the Browns are donating the net proceeds from new jersey sales to coronavirus relief in the Cleveland area.

    The “Hats Off To Our Heroes” fund will help health-care professionals, first-responders, education professionals and others involved in the effort to keep people safe.

    “Having a uniform launch now, we asked ourselves, ‘Are we being tone-deaf?’ “ Browns executive vice president J.W. Johnson said. “We thought we needed some positivity in a tough time for a lot of people.”

    Of course, it doesn’t hurt that a lot of Browns fans will likely want new jerseys, since the old re-design in 2015, and we’re being generous here, wasn’t a good one.

    “Our fans wanted us to get back to our roots, to our tradition,” Johnson said. “We’ve always had a classic, clean and iconic look. We’re a traditional team, like Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Dallas. Our fans weren’t super-thrilled with our uniform [change] the last time. Now we’ve been able to figure out a way for us to go back to more of a traditional look while giving back to people and to families who need it.”

    Getting back to their roots will be nice, but giving back to their community’s the bigger benefit here."

    On the bottom Color Rush unis, since they don't have any stripes, I'd put the elf on the arms or the hips of the pants.

    It would give those unis a little somethin' somethin', and give some of you an aneurysm. Win-win. 

  • Not a big fan of the no stripes. 

  • I don't like the above color rush at all.  We'll see in a matter of hours what they really look like.  

    I know I'll be looking through my fingers with my hands over my face.  (OH, that's right!  Don't touch your face!)

  • Well...

    At least we aren't as bad as reddit...

    They have a couple dozen uni threads mostly with home brew concepts and digital enhancement of the preview sneak peeks.
