  1. Good way to cold smoke. No welding required. Here's the how to: https://www.virtualweberbullet.com/cold-smoker-conversion/
  2. The '61s are all over the place in quality apparently, which is ridiculous for $2,200 or whatever they are now. If I did anything, I might just buy an aftermarket body, put this neck on it and maybe a refret.
  3. It's 100% an aftermarket, replacement neck. The base says some name of a music store, Hollywood, CA, '80, or some such. I'm guessing it was licensed, and someone put the waterslide logo on there at some point. It's been a while since I've had it off.
  4. Fake. They probably all have wireless headset mics. And I should mention that I don't really care much about who owned the neck. It's just got that age and feel to it that no amount of artificial relic'ing can touch.
  5. Bought it on reverb for $340-ish. Body is squire classic vibe. Pickups are American Standard. The rest of the bits are ebay. The neck is the party piece. It's dated 1980. It's a replacement neck purchased from a music store in Hollywood. Clay dot inlays. The seller mentioned that it (the neck) was on a guitar used by Warran Cuccurullo when he was touring with Zappa in the 80s. The neck eventually ended up with the seller's uncle, who gave it to him. It laid around for years and eventually ended up on this guitar. As you can see from the price, I didn't pay extra for the story, but I'm a Zappa fan and think highly of Warren, so there's that. But this neck. Nothing feels this good on any guitar I own.
  6. It doesn't help that I'm super pleased with my $350 parts caster with a 40 year old neck that feels like slipping into an old shoe.
  7. For a few years now, I've been eyeballing those American Vintage II '61 Strats in Fiesta Red. Heard some stories of the fret boards being "darkened" and bleeding dye though. I need to play one at some point.
  8. The sound I will forever associate with the Super Reverb.
  9. That's tempting. The 6-Stage mode comes closer to the Maestro MP-1 than anything I've heard to date. I miss that pedal, but for its size, the amount of tone it sucked, and its attempt to electrocute me over the years. I also miss the "Balls" control.
  10. When did this turn into the cheesy, break-up music singing thread?
  11. I'd go with the Jumbo Joe at 18" wide. Still portable.
  12. I just switched from the 5 to the 9 and lost text history as well. Such is life.

    I've mixed a little sauce with peach jelly and some red pepper flakes or diced jalapenos. It's a cheap and easy pepper jelly glaze. It's okay, but I don't do it much these days.

    I'd recommend 2-1-1. 2 hours in the foil turned mine a bit mushy last time I went that long. I've also foil boated baby backs with good results.
