Is anyone here gonna talk me out of the double bound shell pink 60's Tele, or is that not what we do here?
Buy it. You do you-but it is pink……………..

Re: HB H-S-H setup- I thought all H-S-H were “low to midrange heavy and kind of mushy.” Har! Just kidding-you might find some used pickups and save some coin. My only ‘bucker guitar is an old Yamaha Tele-shape with twin DiMarzio PAF’s; it’s a boomer, but not exactly articulate compared to well set up and tone controlled single coils. Guess I may have been listening to Tele music too long.

I took a flier on a fusion HSH, will see what it needs to be made to play good, and if I can provide that. If that works, I'll see what it needs to be made to sound good. Intriguing company with some gear offerings that might allow one to round out a sound palette with niche instruments on the cheap. Like, I see they make a knock off Rickenbacker 12 string, as well as mandolin's and banjos.
Please let us know what you think of it; I’m thinking I may need a Ric 12-string fake, myself!

My understanding is that Harley Bentons don't need much. Supposedly very good.
I bought a H-B Tele-style ‘52 as a beater/leave at the other house toy. Tuners are extremely mediocre, good fret work, nice finish, pickups surprisingly decent. Can’t imagine doing better for $149 or whatever I paid. I’m gonna replace the tuners just for the hell of it. Body and headstock shape aren’t perfect, but who cares? Not gonna be on any album covers anytime soon…..

UT telling everyone in Texas to fuck off is not what UT's mission is. Fuck that. Athletically and academically. Donations and taxes don't get invested to Ut to "shove everyone's nose in it."
We can go play fuck off on the southeast, but we start cold-shouldering everyone in Texas and the dynamics will change. They already are. UT is gonna have a hard time asking for whatever windfall the SEC will deliver, from the school. You'r making a ton, fund your own shit.
Believe it or not, the amount of money UT athletics makes is not top of mind for most Texans. It IS with legislators who write checks with taxpayer dollars for UT.
UT is a State Institution. Alienating everyone who is not "UT" in Texas, when most people in Texas, high SATs and GPAs included, cannot go to Texas, is exceedingly dumb.
This is one of the most out-of-touch (dumber’n dog shit) posts I’ve ever seen.

With the quality coming out of China, it’s getting harder to justify those prices. I know it’s likely a USA made knife, but that is t a sticking point for me.

I can handle the Brussels sprouts and fish chili potatoes, but the salt cod intrigues me-heard about it all my life, never tasted it. Where did you find it? Did you soak it before cooking? Cooked in a big ole skillet? Thanks!

And Trini Lopez! That’s one of the worst Lip-syncing cuts I’ve ever seen, but Sahm’s hair is magnificent. It might have gotten a little dusty in here when I heard he had died at the Taos Inn. A magnetic, charismatic performer, and one of the great Texas songwriters and bandleaders.

I probably use cash 5-10x/week. I don't need a digital record of coffee, or tacos, or in the old days-cocktails. Plus you can leave the tip in cash with the change which the employee appreciates much, much more. People's fascination with a printed out record of their weekly stops is fucking baffling to me.
When in public---be polite, hold doors, acquiesce parking spots or entry, smile, nod, do not talk, sneeze into your sleeve, do not talk, nod, pay in cash, slide over after your transaction, do not stand in front of anything for too long, do not use your phone, nod, do not talk, get the fuck out of the way, pay in cash quickly and accurately leaving the generous tips, do not talk, be quiet, shift quickly but smoothly, make people acknowledge your swift politeness and then forget soon after that you ever existed. Also smile and fart quietly.
Sounds like “rules of the road” for a serial killer.

Fired usually means you no longer work there.
He will "remain as a professor at the university's philosophy department."
Fired, quit, makes no difference; of course he’s going back to his regular office and classroom-he’s a tenured professor at a large state school. Duh!

Did they do this when aggy got in the league?
I’m catching up on my favorite thread-did McMurphy call Texas the “Longhorn state?” There’s a clue……..

For Biff Tanner: last I knew from friends in the convenience store business in New Mexico, the state has a hard ceiling on the number of alcohol licenses to be sold, period. That is, if you want a license, you have to buy an existing one. In the mid 80’s (!) a license was worth $1,000,000.. that would probably cut out some Allsup’s. Don’t know exactly the situation now………..

Team tele neck pickup
Yes

Didn’t Micawber originally have some oddball (Fender?) lap steel ‘bucket, or am I just confusing it with the Coodercaster?

The song that sparked my sometimes incomprehensible love trying to play “smooth” jazz. RIP.

Very nice looking Esquire, but I’m soon to build a flipped version, with just a neck pickup to dial in that warm, woody, “airy” Tele sound, probably with flatwounds. Horses for courses, I reckon.

Anybody ever travel with a Flying Longhorns group? Did I miss a thread somewhere? Any comments or reviews are welcome, I think…………………

That’s bullshit. When my daughter decided she needed/wanted an MBA, I’d pay for it anywhere she could get in, except aggy. No how, no way, never. Wisely, she didn’t bother to apply at Baghdad on the Brazos.
