Too recent for my blood.

Guys, I’m starting to think dumping all of my and my friends’ info into Meta might be a bad thing. But there’s no other option!

Yeah but she loved the genoside, that’s why we have to have utter incompetent apocalypse every goddamned day for three more years.

Well now i have to check those out!

HE HAS DEMENTIA. HE IS DEMENTED.

Computer! Show us a skeezy techbro.

The best part about Trek fandom is how unserious people are “allowed” to be.

How odd

The neck-tilt adjustment was in the heel in the neck plate and made it super easy to get the action you wanted without futzing with saddles and the truss rod

In later years they made the truss rod as easily accessible

Yeah I guess that’s right, but they fit the overall look at least for the natural finish.

Here’s a pic showing the frets-on-neck approach:

Yeah maple fretboards for me. Because Jimi. Although he didn’t really care afaik, it just looked the coolest.

Approved!

This is awesome

It’s not Coalition of the Rat Finks

So anyway, i started blasting

Egyptologists be like, “Noooooo! You can’t have monoliths over 6,000 years old! Nooooooooo!”

Türkiye: brrrrrrrrrrr

Back when Drinky Pete was just an alcoholic fascist stooge and not Secretary of 🙄 “War” . . and also an alcoholic fascist stooge.

The example I was thinking of, the original Peavey series were created that way (with no skunk stripe, even) using gun barrel making machines and gunstock lathes. (their truss rod adjustments are super cool too) Theoretically if you were to replace a typical fingerboard, you’d have to pry it from the neck and then re-fret it anyway. Plus I’ve never ever heard of anyone doing that ever for any reason. :D So just banging in some stainless-steel mofos into that neck while the body is curing saves time and money.

I do have a “phenolic” fretboard on a different guitar that’s a fancy mix of resin and tree parts. Basically kind of like formica. Plays great, no worries, but the whole thing about particular fretboards giving a certain kind of tone is 99% horse hockey.

I refuse to watch unless Yakkity Sax is employed correctly

Me: actually the fingerboard is a vestigial component of guitar building as the neck can perfectly accommodate frets directly, giving the neck a more integral link to the player’s hand and also reducing manufacturing costs.

My SO: . . . no I just wanted more lemonade. . . . Okay thanks.
