Imagine how cool everyone looked in the 60’s. All fringed buffalo bill jacked, flower-power body painted, tie-dyed, long haired, bell bottomed, beaded, high and beautiful at Woodstock and Monterey Pop, at communes and be-ins. Sure, but never forget, some of us looked like this. That’d be myself, 1968/69 school year, 9 years old. Yes, my parents cut my hair.

My amp. Not my guitar. Or my stage.

Sure, it’s nice enough as an antique mahogany table. But imagine how much nicer it’d be as several guitars.

New pickup day - @tvjonesinc classic plus in bridge (thx @keith_holland_guitars). Wow what a difference. Now I’m gonna have to do the neck also, it’s a whole different guitar when I switch to the bridge.

Because it’s pink, and it says hëavy mëtal, and its 20 bucks. What more do you need?

SOLD! Selling my @that_pedal_show limited edition

SOLD! Selling my @that_pedal_show limited edition @thorpyfx camoflange. If you missed out on it, here is your chance. Free ship in USA, if you’re elsewhere, not free, but will to ship. Also open to trade if you’re a pedal builder, so let’s talk. Reverb store link in bio but if you wanna buy direct I’ll take all the usual methods and you’ll save me reverb fees which would be cool.

I’ve been through quite a few chorus pedals trying to find one I did not hate. It finally occurred to me to go back to the classics, and yep, that’s the chorus I was looking for. Now I kind of want to build a whole board out of Boss and MXR.

Because a great guitar can always be a little bit

Well, the board is getting there in terms of order

Well, the board is getting there in terms of order and layout, only I just decided to bite the bullet and get a switcher cause I’m tired of fighting noise problems from pedals that are not even on. So it’s all gotta be moved around as soon as the @thegigrig quartermaster shows up. 🤷‍♂️

Finally hit on the delay combo I’ve been chasing

Finally hit on the delay combo I’ve been chasing, with classic echo + spacey modulated. Who knew it was @catalinbread all along.

This is a goddamn thing of beauty, @thezerofret - thx, man. It sounds epic and looks amazing. One-pickup guitar into one-knob fuzz and I’m a happy man. #npd #oneknobfuzz #thezerofret #orcusfuzz

“Well we got our guitars and we got thumb picks

“Well we got our guitars and we got thumb picks
And we go on after some lip-synch chicks
We're feelin' good from the pills we took
Oh, baby, don't gimme that look”

Trying out a thumb pick from @blackmountainpicks - I think I like this. First time I’ve found one that feels comfortable enough that I want to keep going.

There is a longer story about my Les Paul Jr proje

There is a longer story about my Les Paul Jr project guitar at moronosphere.com (link in bio) but short version, I got a cheap replica LPJ from vintage guitars but it showed up with a cracked neck, so it went back, and I pivoted to a similar version from Harley Benton, which looks and sounds better at half the price. It’ll get upgrades, and learning how to do setup myself.
