All the best to all of you this Christmas.
Let's hope we are all here, alive and well, next Christmas.
And that there's a naughty lass under the tree at that point.

I loved my 1996 Studio.
It was a great feeling, great sounding guitar.
Ultimately just a bit too heavy, and it found a new home back in 2012 (2013?).

Just now, Sgt. Pepper said:
Play that and you go to jail.
Play that down here where I live, and Burt Reynolds will put an arrow through you.

It's definitely a computer-generated voice.
Not a real human speaking there.
As far as the content, or the words being spoken by the digital narrator, it's tough to say.
Might be considered AI, in that it's most likely words spoken by a program, originally typed in by a human.
Here's how Bert (the youTube channel there is Burt's Guitar Channel) introduces himself:
"Helping bedroom guitar enthusiasts to choose guitar and gears. Providing personal experience + summarized YouTube reviews so you can have more time enjoying your guitar instead of watching YT reviews that repeats 80% of information. I might use AI voice for smooth info delivery. Hope to hear from you. Thanks!"
I am thinking that Burt doesn't like the sound or timbre of his own speaking voice.

Congratulations on that fabulous yellow Stratocaster!
And happy Christmas to you and the whole family.

Did you know that the "W" in 10W-40 or 5W-30 motor oil designation doesn't stand for weight?
The W actually refers to ‘Winter’.
The viscosity of motor oil is subject to temperature change. A single viscosity rate (SAE 30 for instance) only represents the flow of oil when heated, but doesn't address the need to start your car on a cold winter morning. The oil will flow more slowly, which is different to when it’s heated, so this viscosity rating is important too.The number before ‘W’ represents the viscosity at engine startup, while the number following the ‘W’ represents the viscosity during engine operation.
I'm gonna shut up now.

Rest in peace, good and talented man.
I used to listen to KLOS any time I was visiting Bakersfield.
Fell in love with Mark And Brian the first trip out there 1995, and was blessed to be able to listen to Jim Ladd the second time around, in 1997.

Thanks for posting.
Looks like something worth looking into.

You know you are getting old when an attractive lady makes an overt pass at you at a Christmas party, and you think to yourself, "Nah. Not worth the trouble and complications. I'd better pass."

As long as they don't call them "pups", I'm okay with it.

Just got done unloading and unpacking from a gig.
Spend most of yesterday loading in and sound-checking, and all day today playing a large Christmas party (350 to 500 people, at various times, in a huge aviation hangar) and then loading out.
Sore as a runned-over dog.
I'm 64.
Is everything supposed to hurt this bad?
🫤
Post script.
I did save a lot of wear and tear on my back by leaving the amp and Shure 57 at home.
Pedal board directly into the PA mixer.
*boom* Easy money.

So.. A month or so later. Hows it going with this guitar?
Still impressed or just a gimmick?
I like it a lot.
We're playing a gig on Friday.
It'll be my main guitar.
That and the old Strat.

Happy holidays indeed. Enjoy!
Did you have to buy a Mark Rothco?
I had to look up Mark Rothco.
Thanks for contributing to my education, M.E. !

It's almost fitting.
I'm looking at that pick, and JFK definitely lost part of his head.
(Too soon?)
I can never tell.
I'm gonna shut up now.

27 July.
I'll be 65.
And on Medicare.
And drinking a nice glass of Black Opal Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot.

What did the Dalmatian say after dinner?
That hit the spot.

Interesting concept.
Way too thick for me, but I can imagine that a studio musician bass player might really enjoy employing it.

And for the record, though I respect Slash's success and his apparent good heart and kind nature, I have no desire to own any of the 27 or so Slash Signature Model Les Pauls that are available for sale right now.

I have heard it 'teased' but haven't seen any official announcement of an updated Jessica signature model.

We love getting fresh-baked sourdough bread from the Publix bakery.
But I have to buy a half a loaf at a time.
There are no preservatives, so it'll go stale or moldy by the time I get to the last few slices.

Just Between You And Me.
One of my all time favorite songs.

Myles playing his Les Paul Artisan there.
Or at least holding it while he sang. -
Buongiorno, AthosB.
Puoi descrivere la chitarra (Les Paul, SG) e il numero di serie sul retro della paletta?
Se preferisci non condividerlo, il servizio clienti Gibson riceverà volentieri un'e-mail con il numero di serie e ti dirà tutto quello che c'è da sapere sulla chitarra.
O meglio ancora, usa questo link e inserisci le informazioni. Forniranno le informazioni molto rapidamente.

I'm convinced the American and Mescan threaded ones are the same. If I'm wrong I'll let everyone know.
You're a helluva guy and it's appreciated.
Heh.
My ex-wife always said I belonged in Hell, but she never called me a helluva guy.
