so whats the deal with finn mckenty or whatever. he seems very knowledgeable about a lot of stuff but also seems like he's way way way too into the business side of stuff. On its own that wouldn't be bad but like not trying to be a huge communist here or anything, but he seems like a total capitalist shill

He's the operations manager for URM and Riffhard, so he basically runs a couple very large successful E-businesses, not counting his own super successful youtube page. Finn rules, actually. He's a great dude.

A listener/viewer can't look at an instrument's dings and scratches and know the specific story behind them, they can only see the dings. A beaten up guitar does make a statement that a shiny new guitar does not, but a guitar that's been accidentally beaten up doesn't make a different statement than a guitar that's been beaten up on purpose, so long as the one beaten up on purpose manages to look authentically beaten up. If a relic job is done well enough that you can't tell the difference, then statement / aesthetic is the same, so it doesn't matter. In other words, good relic jobs are cool. Bad, obviously fake relic jobs are not cool. thread content:

So he's been a punk dude that also knows how to suck it up and be successful in a business sense.

Pretty much. Tommy Petty and Mike Campbell never cleaned their guitars especially their first Fenders. If a tech tried to clean them they would be fired. A friend of mine was friendly with Freddie King and hung out with him when he was touring with Clapton. "Blackie" was sitting in the corner of the dressing room, Clapton was nowhere to be found and the roadies were pretty lax so picked up Clapton's guitar and started noodling. It was pretty gross. Never cleaned and only changed strings when they broke.

The cigarette burn on the top part of a Fender headstock where the strings come over the nut is a fun piece of damage that feels like it'll come happen 'honestly' given that there is a lot less smoking in general.

I recently went looking for some stupid poo poo on craigslist, which used to be the top of the heap for dumb and crazy, but now it's mostly...reasonable stuff? sure, there's some ten-dollar guitars in there and guys who've partsed out their half-intact drum kits and poo poo like that like normal, but very little of the actual stupid poo poo hopefully, that's just luck and not a larger sea change but in the meantime, be sure to call his cell phone

Is this... is this just an autoharp missing the "keys"? because lmao if so. I should have totally bought my neighbor's autoharp when she sold hers in a garage sale like a decade ago but alas. edit: I was inspired to go through my local craigslist. Most of it is normal rear end gear/equipment/instruments etc. The most amusing poo poo I could find was this:  Which somebody else has to have done before. And there's this too:

Why is that autoharp missing the chord bars. $1100 would buy a fairly decent factory one that's been improved by a good luthier. It's not even going to sound good, strumming an autoharp with all strings open is not a pleasant sound. It doesn't have any markings for the strings so it doesn't seem to be a chord zither missing the chords. It looks almost like it's trying to be a monochord or go after people wanting a monochord but deciding one is too big.

The Fender F is bad design and always has been. Now Peavey, there's a timeless logo font that totally doesn't look like the ballpoint margin doodles of a seventh grader.

It's weird and definitely doesn't work in any other context though, you're right. Also, yeah it's always been a baffling mystery to me that as soon as Peavey designed their "delta" logo, they didn't use it for literally everything they made from that point on. It's so much better.  This is a legitimately good logo. But nope! Let's just keep using this one instead (you know, the one that looks like it was drawn by a skateboarding cartoon dog wearing a backwards hat and sunglasses):  GreatGreen fucked around with this message at 00:51 on Oct 20, 2021 |
