I wonder if this thing was submerged at one time.
What Did You Do With Your Guitar(s) Today?

Mine was gift from my wife's parents. It was not a very good strat, or at least it wasn't right for me. I loved the colour but hated the gold hardware, didn't really like the neck profile and didn't like the noise less pickups either. Oh and my trem had no chance of staying in tune.
I got rid of everything off mine until only the body was left and then bought a load of parts that did suit me. Love it now but it was a long journey to get there.

Yeah, the noiseless pickups were trash. I replaced mine with Lollar Blackface and then now with the Lollar P90s.

It's been a productive day in the studio. The Do Something challenge has actually been doing exactly what I needed it to when I first started it, keeping me on task with getting shit done.
Tracked all the rhythms for this tune in drop-A. Good right hand workout with the trem picking. (I wonder if YouTube uses AI to pick the thumbnails, I smirked when I fucked up and it automatically used it as the thumbnail)
Now I'm workin' on the lead, this is the general idea I'm going for, just more gooder.

I've been trying to play the guitar on sundays while watching my youtubes. Pulled out the strandberg 8 to mess around with. Shortened my DIY board, now it's just the FM3 with one mission exp pedal and tasty chips ir reverb. I could do without the tasty chips as well. I used to have 2 mission pedals, the FM3 and an HXFX with a small shelf for H90/Meris. Waaaay overkill

Been having issues on a couple of my trem equipped Balls - with some ATG songs where it's pretty intense picking between 5th-6th-6th-5th-6th-6th-etc. The trems put just a tad more give that causes enough fight to make me flub up too often.
Finally let @FuzzyAce's years of planted suggestions sink in and put 10-52 on the Majesty and Cutlass and wham, problem solved! Gave me a bit more bass strength, too - these two are a bit lacking in bass, depending on what preset I'm playing - of course.
Now we'll find out if more guitars, even hardtails, are going to get the same nudge with 10-52's. Gawd, has anyone else, in the history of guitar, flip-flopped strings gauges so damn much?

Is there anything in this world that smells good as smoked meats?? 
Soy Sauce, Black Pepper, Garlic Marinade overnight. Cooked over Hickory
for about 3 hours in the Smoker, and then put in the Oven under the Broiler
to crisp up the skin a bit----as the Skin in a Smoker can get a little rubbery.
It's so juicy that when you go to Temp it it literally squirts.

Besides playing guitar, I did manage to get a thin coat of finish on my scalloped neck. I mixed some graphite powder into satin polyurethane and wiped it on. It's a very subtle enhancing of the maple color, but I will be putting on more coats as the week goes by.
