Winter Build Off 2022 - Get Ready

[Rôckhewer]

I dont live in Arizona. It took me forever to remember that when the time changes locally (for Daylight Savings Time)....

Yeah.. we don't play that "Savings" game.
Consider... most of the population here in Arizona live in what's technically...the Sonoran Desert.
Daylight... is not necessarily our friend.
Especially when its 118°
.... Daylight... can go screw it's self.

On the flip side, here in the PNW, we've reached the point where it's already dark by the time I leave work at 5pm, and we're rapidly closing in on that part of the year where it'll still be dark when I leave for work at 7:30am. So I get the enjoyment of not seeing my house during the day from Sunday evening until Saturday morning.

Does anyone actually know where all this daylight we saved went?

It's earning interest in some offshore account, so that our trust fund babies can buy yachts one day?

I saw a post on social media last Friday that said the sun would set in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska that day and would not rise again for something like 5 months. So I guess it can always be worse, right?

Now there's some serious daylight saving.

Face it... you're only a few miles south of the Klondike ... you're practically... Canadian

 

[RichterScale]

Somebody called me Canadian once.

...once.

Rebirth - hmmmm.

Could mean lots of things. But to me it's centering around re-using prior parts or assemblies. Re-working something that already exists. Kafka-esque metamorphosis.

Anybody care to discuss? Got several half-baked ideas; not sure which one(s) to go with.

Whataya got?

 

[ctmullins]

Whataya got?

Prior builds that didn't survive, due to some ergonomic or functional issues, but with necks that are salvageable.

Purchased bodies that need a neck.

And a wildcard option that involves BLE MIDI.

 

[RichterScale]

Yes
Yes
And yes

Sounds like a "build all three" type sitch.

 

[ctmullins]

Oh, and I also have a NOS Gibson RD neck blank that deserves to become something cool….

 

[RichterScale]

At least you have stuff that fits the theme.
I already had a build idea before the WBO and now I have to come up with some cheesey lame reason why it fits the theme.

 

[RichterScale]

It pretty obvious you should take all that stuff and turn it into a double neck with midi.

Oh, you are a clever one, aren't you? How did you guess?

 

[RichterScale]

Clairvoyance.

Sorry, big trekkie here...

Easy peasy. The rebirth is the rebirth of your ad copy.
