I've wrapped it in electrical tape. I have NOT connected it to the app since the first day, when I set it up. I'm only playing that guitar maybe half an hour a day TOPS. Most days much less. Some days not at all. So why am I having to change the battery every week? Cool idea, but this is...

Not split. Tapped. Two coils, each with two strengths of output. It seems like a gimmick someone would have tried at some point, but I can't recall ever seeing it.

But I've been treating it as more of a low guitar than a extended-range bass, so... The strangle switch makes chords surprisingly easy to get away with, especially if you keep away from the bottom string pretty much entirely.

So, normally I'd attribute microphonics to a loose cover or insufficient potting, but yesterday I was changing up the wiring on a 3-pickup guitar and when I put everything back together, I've suddenly got a lot of excess handing noise. In any position, I can tap (with my finger) on the bridge...

Skip over the obligatory quotes about WHY artist X is signing with brand Y... That stuff is always laughable nonsense. Focus on the instruments. Because they REAL dumb and just a little bit awesome. Which is a fun combo. https://www.premierguitar.com/articl...eid=75aef23fbb

It wasn't until very recently, and after years of off/on shopping for them, that I realized there were two distinctly different body shapes for the Flying V. I knew there were various control configurations, and pickguard shapes, and that only some of them had that cool V-shaped plate behind the...

But there's still a LOT to like here: https://shop.fender.com/en-US/electric-guitars/stratocaster/parallel-universe-volume-ii-strat-jazz-deluxe/0176770717.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20210108_PU&utm_term=fender&src=email01DT010821&smtrctid=&c3ch=email&c3nid=20210108_PU

The little wheel thingy at the base of the neck, like Music Man (among others) uses. They look a little dumb, but they're still the best. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. I will not be taking questions at this time.

So I want to go from 250k pots to 500k. Easy, right? Except this guitar has everything mounted to a printed curcuit board. Cool. But pots are pots, rig.... Huh, those look smaller than normal. So I just need mini pots, and...wait, there are different pots for use with pcbs? Okay, I guess I...

Like "Spot the Gibson, only they're both Gibsons. One is in a museum. The other is a 2018 model.

This isn't my usual brand of stupid, but ever since these first came out, I've found them weirdly alluring. The house has been full of a LOT of scooped-mid riffing this morning.
