Blast from the past. Incredible performance.

I have the Antiquities in my MonEl. Nice pickups.

Well, looks like my harness is taking a tour of the USA thanks to UPS. It got delayed along the way. It was almost here. Almost. Now for some reason it went South to Nashville. Next stop, maybe GraceLand?

I got an email from UPS saying they have the package and it will be delivered tomorrow to my door. Glad UPS is faster than RSGW.

Yeah, normally I do as well. Just thought I'd go this route this once. I probably have all the parts needed in my parts box too. Silly me.

Tariffs were introduced on April 2. My order was placed on March 21. I would imagine they have more than 12 days worth of parts on hand. But then again, I don't run a custom guitar shop.

Or just buy an Heritage from @santellavision for $1400 and have it in your lap. ETA: I think that's what I paid for it. Can't remember at the moment.

I'm not saying anything like that. I don't think they're swindling me out of a hundred bucks. Just seems odd it takes this long for something that I think should have been on the shelf in a box and ready to go. Then again, I don't run a custom guitar shop.

I placed an order with RS Guitarworks on March 21 for a LP wiring harness. Four pots and two caps on a plastic jig figuring they'd have these on the shelf readymade. Nope. I mean, it must be one of their more popular harnesses. That and probably a Strat or Tele harness must be right up there with a LP harness. You'd think they'd have these readymade. At least two or three of each on the shelf. The other harnesses they offer would be made to order since Mustangs aren't as plentiful in the wild as LPs and Strats. I could understand a bit of a delay for those. I called and spoke with Billy for a bit on March 21 to guide me through the selection process for which LP harness was for me. He was nice and helped me make my decision. He said he was the only one who did soldering there so I felt I was talking to the right person. So I called on April 30 (40 days later) and asked the girl who answered the phone when I might see my harness. She said she'd have to talk with Billy. I said okay thinking she'd put me on hold. Nope. She said he'd call me back. I gave her my cell number and then went into Settings, Phone, unselect, "Silence numbers not in Contacts," and waited. About an hour later Billy called and asked what I needed. I guess the girl didn't really "talk" with billy but told him to give me a call. I asked Billy when I might see my harness. He looked in the queue and said I'm number 9 in the queue. He said that means he should be able to get to it Thursday or Friday which was May 1 and May 2. He said I'd get an email when it was shipped. So I checked my email every morning for the last 10 days. Nada. These guys are slow. Four pots and two caps. Seems a little ridiculous to have a six or eight week wait for a simple part. But maybe that's just me.

If you wanna make them authentic, here's your answer.

Lots of microphone wagging going on. Or is that just part of being 80? Not sure if he could sing Highway Star anymore but he's holding his own in this tune. I hope I can still sing at 80. https://youtu.be/u6jXzpZ9zZk?si=3TyQJz3FdTvmXIdh

Is this a joke?

Man, and I was just about to jump.
