Sending a gift to my little cousin-in-law Grace, who lost her beloved guitar in the Eaton Fire in Altadena. We love you, GIGI! Thanks to @keith_holland_guitars for setting me up with this beautiful guild acoustic. You’re gonna make this girl very happy.

WAY back in the early days of ‘blogging as a thing’, before I had an active blog at moronosphere.com, there was trancejen. See, @trancejen - somebody still has it!

Guitar finish tests. Playing with dyes after watch

Guitar finish tests. Playing with dyes after watching many inspirational videos by @bigdguitars and @crimsonguitars to see how they react with oil finish.

Let’s do this.

The starcaster (rickencaster? Rickenstar?) project

The starcaster (rickencaster? Rickenstar?) project is coming along. Both pickups work, pickup height is dialed in. The switch still needs surgery (one of the wires is too short so I can’t get it spun around so neck is up,) but that’s an easy fix. Meanwhile the T & A chip has a home, and I got the strings on the right way this time, so less facepalm. I’d like to upgrade the bridge and stop tail if I can find a set in black to match the pups, but otherwise upgrades are done-ish. It sounds great, but I suck at demos, you’ll have to come over and play it yourself. I am using this as a learning exercise, so I need to adjust the neck next, another first try.

I’ve been playing guitar for quite a few years n

I’ve been playing guitar for quite a few years now, and have changed strings dozens and dozens of times. But somehow I still managed to wrap the wrong way. 🤣🤣🤣

Project time - new @lollarpickups ‘novel broiler’ pups in a squire starcaster. These give a rickenbacker sound, which should be great in the ‘caster.

Every time a box this size shows up in my mailbox, I think I must have ambien-shopped a pedal and get excited. But no, just another food-themed Xmas ornament. 🌶️🫒🍜

First go at re-stringing a bigsby. Not so bad if you pre-bend the strings at the ball-end (thx to @dylantalkstone for that helpful hint).

Done, finished off with some blue knobs - though they don’t quite fit the posts so they’ll get replaced. I’m really not good at sound demos, and did not capture a ‘before,’ but I’ll try to get a good sound clip posted. It sounds infinitely better, with proper p90 snarl, and looks like a jr now. Still to do: upgrade the tuners and nut, but no hurry, I’ll do that when next I change the strings.
