But this is how the best decisions are made!

I mean, it’s the secret sauce.

When I'm feeling funky, these guys often hit the spot.

Ahem.

Then there's always the cosmic utensil.

I feel pretty fortunate to play through one every week. And sometimes at gigs.

Judging by the look of Mom, they know it's back to the meth farm after picture time is over.

Grandma, but no idea why the melt down in that one picture. The rest were fine. On the other hand, I told the 3 year old that I’m creating a portfolio of embarrassing pictures to share with his first girlfriend. That didn’t phase him. I’ll try again in about 10 years.

FretlessThunderbirds are a non starter. Just saying. As a friend.

I'd like a definitive way to determine where Epi Goth necks were made based on the hs scallop/bevel on the face. I've seen a few different versions. None of them look like the original T-bird hs.

Flat bevel creates a soft 'V' peak on each side - neck is a fat C-profile

Flat bevel stops before transition - neck thickness is shallower, more a soft-C
View attachment 4839760
This one had a thinner, slightly rounded bevel that creates a long pointy 'peak' -

'64 II hs face is routed 1/16" into the face - not beveled at all. I like both varieties but it seems like Epi doing the Goth's differently must come down to being made in different factories over many years.

Yeah it was hard to tell from the photo when I was buying the material, but I like the colour. It’s going to get a black bird on it.
@Stealth57 ’s idea on the red actually.

When are you getting back home?

Banjo tunas, I don’t think they would work well for base geetars..

they pull the string down into the ring to tune, no twisting action.

When are you getting back home?

10/24 or for the calendar challenged foreign types, 24 Octubre 2022.
