What Did You Do With Your Guitar(s) Today?

Further dialed-in my iOS rig lol on a (cracked-screen) iPad Mini 6. My AUM preset so far:

Was mostly away with family but when I had the time I picked up the acoustic. An Washburn D12S I am still unsure about if I like it or not. Mostly did pentatonic stuff.
 
I don't have an SG right now. Let a few pass through my hands that I miss. Some days
I miss them a little. Some days a lot.

They do a thing you can't get any other way.

I played a 90s standard a few days ago at my mates house and it was fantastic. It had a really fat neck and sounded fantastic unplugged. I was completely smitten and need to visit my friend Bo more often now.
 
I took a couple days off from playing (cuz video games) but got back on this today. I have the riffs under my fingers enough where it was time to start practicing while ‘singing’ it. This one is definitely tricky to figure out where the vocals jump in, in context of what the guitar is doing. There’s a couple spots I still have to figure out, but overall it’s just a matter of doing this 1,000 more times until it’s tight.

 
We've got a friend from Seattle staying with us for a few days. He'd never played through a valve amp before today. The look on his face when he hit an A chord on my prs into my JVM was priceless, it was properly loud. He's 45, primarily plays acoustic and when he does play an electric it's been into cheap solid state practice amps and lower end modellers, usually into headphones.

Today we just fucked about with different guitars at various gain levels. Tomorrow we start onto pedals. :pickle
Right. Now plug him into a V-Amp and watch him wince and cry!!
 
Trying to step outside my comfort zone and play something akin to "smoove jazz" to celebrate today.

 
As promised, I'm posting a wip photo.
Goal is to make it look used and not taken care of. :ROFLMAO: It's getting there. Still not finished as I'm letting stuff dry so I can move onto further steps.

I've been dragging my feet on this project but getting close to the finish line. Worked on assembly and getting pickups wired today. Still need to set up the Floyd and D-tuna and add the string tree bar on the neck. Went ahead and relic'd the neck and fingerboard to match the body better. I ended up putting a small kill switch were the tone knob would be. I like it. I would have gone with a arcade style one but didn't want to make the hole too big in case I want to go back to a tone control. Can't wait to try the scalloped neck, it feels super comfortable already. The boatneck with scallop is so perfect. :chef I can tell I'll love it.

Sorry for the not so great photo, the lighting is bad at night.
