Frets OVER the binding!

HAHA!!

Welcome, WyldJon! (this should be your name goin forward). I never met your uncle (in person) but had several exchanges with him, both on the board and via email/private message. I will always remember him fondly. He was always a welcome contributor on this message board. Thanks for posting!

Thanks. Now it has a name.

I was sure I wanted this guitar painted in a Sonic Blue/Seafoam Green color with creme binding. Stike had other ideas.

Not going to need that control panel on the lower horn (ditching the master volume knob), but I didn't see the point of filling and laminating to hide it. It's the back, after all. Frets were poop. Had to go. These'll do.

Filled holes, laminated top... Binding...

It has been over two years. Time for an update! As we already know, this guitar was purchased in "The Before Times" which in this context has a dual meaning: before Covid changed our lives (it was still early on in the lockdown) and before I sold off most of my guitars and swore off buying any others. This retina-burning stepchild (orphan, really) deserved better, as @cmatthes recently said, "...after living a life of tragedy." Well put. Before: After:

I was thinking Eddie Izzard.

Yes, because it has no strings, making it completely fucking worthless.

I don't think anyone has seen Ronnie James Dio anywhere for quite a while.

Oh. My. God.

Oh yea, definitely.

Nonsensical and grammatically flawed memes are the best, especially when they highlight assorted words for apparently no reason whatsoever.

I made these for just such an occasion.

Yeah. I guess...

"Sooo... The Chicken Dance, then?"

AKA: the "More is less" paradigm.

That's right.

It's easy enough to post a video with someone else's recording, Free clicks for little to no creativity. The world in which these people exist uses "clicks" as a currency. Don't ask me how we got here.

"SUPER Advanced Toilet Flushing"?

As petty and douchey as that appears at first blush, I don't blame him one bit. And if he has the time and the energy to deal with these loser autograph hounds, that's his prerogative. I'll never understand why anyone would pay money for another person's signature, but they do, so why should he waste his time helping these guys earn a living off of his time?
