Probably the archaeologists of the future will find some fret wire there, and a scrap of pale wood and claim it’s obviously a “real Hendrix Stratocaster fragment”, a piece of the one true cross (...town traffic) see what I did there? 😎

English is hard and as someone who’s had to work in a foreign language a lot, I know you’re always struggling for a word

Where does the tractor attach ? I assume the upper horn cuts the earth and the strings and lower horn sift it and turn it to the side before you start the next furrow ? The frets are for measuring depth of furrow cut ? is the brown colour from clay soil staining?

@Reggaebass Yeah but that was for ‘and-made quality , not your CNC rubbish

Another day, another nemesis ... ho hum. He’s better at jumping tall buildings in a single bound, mind and that dodging bullets stuff is child’s play

“The edges”

Wasn’t the glue found to be different in nature on a Stradivarius?

They were ...

Yes, they’re not even birds of any kind, let alone raptors

You seem to be in the US - is it possible that that term has a less pejorative meaning here in the UK? I don’t think @Bassassin meant to offend

I think we should be calling plywood “matrix ash” - after all every other word in the English language has been used in front of “ash”.

That wasn’t my point - I was just saying that the factors in a wholly acoustic instrument were not comparable with those of a wholly solid one pretty much incapable of delivering its own acoustic response

Yes but plugged-in, amplified solid body instruments are a more complex mix of factors than a purely acoustic one

I bought pickups from him in 1990; even talked to the great man himself before placing my order

No but I’ve had the four string version and it was awesome When I play in a band I play bass, but as I've not been in a band for 8 year's I've predominantly just been playing guitar I’m glad you’re feeling better now after that nasty six string illness

I used to hate them and think they were one trick ponies but it’s one f u c king amazing trick that it does really well it took a lowly squier vm p to tech me this. Bought on eBay for pennies as “parts or not working” but it only had a duff bridge connection sold for more than double, with a dash of seller’s remorse as a dish served cold

I use a plastic mandrel and punch set I got from Amazon - surprisingly good

It’s not that I like purple as such, I was just curious (and doubting my colour vision)

Is it going to stay that colour ? I thought you said purple finish

Possibly also the glue used in their construction - if it’s magic pixie glue it’s just better - you know, magically better

Is the wood they’re made of contributing the sound though ? Discuss ...🍿

Yes but what type of varnish ... would relic make a difference since you’re introducing weakness i think my new patented “snake oil” varnish is the absolute bomb for making your mex Friday afternoon special sound exactly like that 1957 strat you heard on a buddy holly record once, a long time ago

Would rosewood matches have been a better choice, would have been warmer sounding
