Not sure if “guitar related” enough but just got a new psichedelic tee. I wear them to rehearsals and every other gig. This one will have to wait until band practice and jams are on again...

Picked up a breadboard kit that comes with transistors, resistors, caps, jumper wires, a power supply and some other stuff, and some extra breadboards, a bunch of 2n2222a transistors, and some BC109C transistors for a fuzz face build I'm gonna try on the breadboard. Picked up some 1.14mm blue Dunlop Gator Grip picks, also. Seems I prefer their size to the larger standard picks and the smaller Jazz picks. They seem to fit right between those 2.
I actually wore out my favorite V-pick, a glow in the dark Traditional Lite. Since I have no idea where the rest of them are, I picked up a half dozen Traditional Lite in blue, since the glow in the dark is no more ( have about 4 more of them somewhere )
been selling guitars, think it was a side effect of my Covid vax shot. Got my second yesterday. Afraid I'll be selling everything and become a non-musical drone. :wah:
Why don't you turn off the light and look for them? :roflmaoQuote:

I sold my 70's re-issue strat, and bought a new Glock 34. I've been shooting real calibers for years, but the arthritis in my hands is beginning to affect my shooting. I'll try 9mm for a while, and see if I can't hold the younger guys off for a few more years!

Some folks don't like the Glock grip, but I've always got along, (as do my girls). I generally add the Hogue grip sleeve which I like over the standard texture that comes on the gen 2 and 3 guns.
My problem is my support hand thumb, it just kills me trying to keep the gun aligned when shooting fast. Just playing with the new one Saturday, (even before I've fixed the trigger), the lighter caliber is sure telling!
Well....not a new one....but excellent used 2017. Its like it was tailor made for me. http://https://www.guitarcenter.com/Martin/M-36-Standard-Grand-Auditorium-Acoustic-Guitar-Aged-Toner-1500000205186.gc

Is this one of the vintage reissues? My HD-28V from 96 is a pre-WWII reissue.
I picked up a Shield 9mm about 2 years ago - got a GREAT deal and it is a fantastic small carry. generally, I can shoot a little bit, but not plugging a quarter out of the air with it. I also picked up a 365 last year. It is an EXCELLENT one as well. I really like the way it feels and its sights are on for me. I bought it used with about 100 rds through it. 2 extra 10 rd mags and it was a very good deal. Its tough to say which one I would keep if I could only have one. I think the advantage would go to the sig for extra capacity.Quote:

I'm not too concerned when keeping things stock if the playing experience is better for you for any reason. But congrats. It's a beautiful guitar.Quote:

I have been using those too. I really prefer the polyweb but they are hard to get right now.Quote:

Patent Pending and lifetime guarantee!
(I misplaced my previous one, so I got this one in red to differentiate it when I finally locate my first). :smile:

I just received a new Crowther Hot Cake. Oddly, the baseplate is missing three screws! Only the screw in the masked off hole was included. It's clear that the other three countersunk holes have never had a screw in them.
Otherwise, it's a nice sounding pedal!
while I was in the Comcast store setting up the new house internet service, my phone rang and it was Sweetwater. I let it go to voicemail because I was busy.
"Your guitar is in, do you still want it?"
Guitar? Oh, yeah, the Epiphone Jared James Nichols Gold Glory. I thought it wasn't going to be in until August. Crap. I just spent a shit ton of money. I had put the order in before we even knew about this house. But if I canceled the order, I'd go to the back of the line and there's a very good chance the run would be sold out. I decided to not risk it and took it anyway. I was planning on selling a couple/three more guitars anyway, just that I don't have the time for the next few weeks or so.
Worst comes to worse, I can always sell it if I have to but I'd really like to have a P-90 guitar in my toolbox.
I've been curious about Stringjoy strings, and since I'm going on vacation soon, thought I'd buy some strings and spend some time getting a couple of my guitars freshened up. While I was specifying the strings, I also saw they offered a "natural string conditioner," so I said what the heck, and bought a bottle and a microfiber cloth (on sale).

|I haven't bought anything lately - not even strings (I have a backstock on those deep enough to choke an elephant, even though I don't change that often. I play all my guitars more or less in rotation so they don't get a ton of use at any given time.)
There is a guitar show coming up in a couple weeks here, and |I'm considering packing a couple up to take with, see what they'll offer me for them.
|Thinking on giving up my old BC Rich Mockingbird - it's an early Japanese import - reads BC Rico on the neck, which makes it an '82, I think. There were only 1500 or so made, of all varieties, so I have no idea what it's worth. Also maybe my Epiphone Dot (es335.) late 90s, I swapped the pickups on it pretty early on, had a bone nut installed. Don't really dig the neck too much on it... it's been a love-hate since a few years after I got it. Also wondering what I'd replace them with. I do have a hankering for a Gibson (or Gibson style) Les Paul Junior - single cut, single pickup for a long time, and maybe a self build project or something. Got some thinking to do...
nice. what is it?Quote:

Good luck! The first Les Paul I liked was a 1972 Deluxe. I liked the mini-humbuckers.Quote:

I bought some other stuff but it was all a week ago or more. Fuzz face circuit boards, pedal enclosure, 3pdt true bypass switches, a pot kit with 6different values of pots, and a few other things I can't recall.
I've been wanting a Thinline for a while, and was considering building one, but picked up this Squire for a good price! The neck is really nice, I may not change it. I didn't buy for the color, and think I will refinish it to match the PJ bass I refurbished for my beautiful bride!

I can't see your pic!
I bought some strap locks, and picks, guess I didn't need the picks, as my granddaughter brought me these from their weekend trip!

Having decided that my Ibanez AG95QA sits on the top tier of my guitar collection, I figured a case for it was in order. Back-ordered, in fact. It finally arrived. The AG100C.

Picked up a magnetic arm for my 'helping hands' that, I also just bought. Ordered some desoldering wick. And also ordered some 2.1mm panel mount 9v sockets for pedal building.
Maybe something else I'm forgetting.
The helping hands I bought is like this, except it has screw-on arms instead of magnetic. I'm honestly considering returning it for this one below, with magnetic arms. The screw-on arms come loose any time I try to use them unless I'm purposely careful and make sure I don't loosen them.
I even tried threadlocker to keep them tight but that only caused them to come unscrewed at another joint.

Let's see. I did get the LP Deluxe. I got a Browne Protein pedal but no power supply. Since it doesn't take batteries, I bought some battery clips only to find they were the wrong polarity, center or ring positive whatever. And some new V picks.
