They used an all female band in the promo ads. The band is called The Buoys.
Sounds like they play Yacht Rock.

My sister found a photo from the earlyish 80s…. I look a bit like Lionel Ritchie!Glad I can’t find any of the 70’s photos of my Fro. No more cultural appropriation for me
I meant to add that here Buoy is pronounced Boy. So they are an all female band called ‘The Boys’

That was normal then. But did you have the hair?
never had a mullet ...
Sounds like the tuner might not've been on 440.
OMG - quick, somebody needs to revive @WillyW !
One look at those frets and he musta passed out!
y’all are free to do whatever silly gimmick that comes down the chute, just be prepared be laughed at mercilessly….
fanned frets actually make some sense, but so does cutting back the G at the nut.
Sumpin' ya haven't played for awhile almost always sounds great(I gots to get my LPB2/5 working).
I was just gonna mention that once I caught up with the chat…
I personally don’t think I’ve ever had the need to stray from 440 but I’m sure others can justify it…

Actually, all the fretless shots you’ve been posting has caused me to start thinking about why I don’t have a fretless bird. Who knows, might be my next build.
Unlike you, I don’t think I have the courage or skill to defret a neck, so I’ll just have to buy one already done. When I do, I’ll be pinging you for advice on wood and fretboard selections.
That movie was a long time ago, inflation has taken its toll.I think it's 220, 221 (volts)
Throughout high school and my first couple of years of college I was always between shoulder and mid back length, parted in the middle of course. My hair goes all the way to the floor now, but only because most of it is falling out.
Also, always had a mustache since my junior year and a beard since high school graduation.

it’s easier to buy one unfretted, but defretting isn’t too much work.
buy the wood you think looks good, the interwebz bs about wood selection is just like anything else is misquoted by peepholes that haven’t tried anything.
I like wenge for darker wood for neck and board, or even zircote or ebony for the board… none of that dyed all black crap neither, I want to see the natural streaking.
goncalo alves for lighter colour, it has neat streaking and is less boring than maple.
I bought this neck fretted but decided I didn’t need the frets… just to be an environmental dick, I used Brazilian rosewood sapwood for the slot filler… (harvested way before the ban)

purpleheart is shore purdy too..
Purpleheart…
7exploderbird is goncalo alves/zircote JazzBoid is wenge/rosewood
