I Very cool Strat, but I really like the Blues Hawk next to it..

I did the same thing a little while ago with extra heavy Roland cables and found they eliminated some of the noise issues I was having. 👍 I have found that the thick Roland cables almost can't get tangled and force going into a coil.

I think most of the data is at least a few days old, with the exception of your local town or county data which is usually compiled daily, I think in most areas. My lady has a severe immune disorder and I'm just old, so if we get it the odds are stacked against us. All we can do is the best we can.

We are in a mandatory stay at home order, with heavy fines for anyone caught that isn't going out for essential supplies and every one is wearing masks. Also Oahu has the highest rate of infection, my Island, the Big Island, has 41 cases with a population of 186000, so the testing ratio is lower. local news https://www.staradvertiser.com/coronavirus/

Hawaii claims to have done about 20,000 tests with a small population of 1.4M which comes out to about 1 in 70 being tested. Many states started testing after seeing what was happening to NY. Doing an average for the US won't average down correctly state by state. https://www.politico.com/interactives/2020/coronavirus-testing-by-state-chart-of-new-cases/ Hawaii started a mandatory 2 week quarantine for all travelers early.

Like many guitar players I enjoy doing the vocal parts with my guitar. Currently working on Larks Tongues In Aspic Part 2 -King Crimson

The Double Jet getting some attention.

Also note that Epiphones 14° headstock is more likely to flex under stress and not break, but may fracture the finish..

There is the cool look of the B5 on an Explorer. But for a trem that is non-damaging, simple easy to install, excellent working, very high quality, with an adjustable dive bar that has a very wide range, my favorite is the German made "Duesenberg Les Trem II". No adapters, just bolts on in place of the stop bar. I currently have 6 of them, as well as a B5 style Duesenberg Short and a Stetsbar. Warning... When you have a good working trem on one guitar it tends to be the only one you play, its very addictive..

With the exception of Beth I never paid much attention to the Metal Monkees.

The full Frank Herbert Quote from Dune... “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Frank Herbert I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. Seated Zen breathing with No Mind, KoKyu Ho, focusing on relaxing the one point in your lower abdomen .

I miss my, I miss my, I miss my SG-X....

I am really praying for signs of the infection rate slowing down...

The tremolo is a German made Duesenberg Les Trem II Oh yeh, Burgundy Sparkle..

351 statewide today, with 4 deaths.. 22 on the Big Island..

2005 was when the Gibson Qingdao factory in China opened, building Epiphone Electrics and the serial number starting with EE would be correct for that era. Elite and Elitist guitars were only built in Japan, as far as I know.
