  1. Is that an American Fender? I read the description and didn't see it anywhere, they usually plaster USA everywhere if it is. Yup, it’s an American Fender. The Adorama page doesn’t mention it, but other sites that sell this guitar (like Musician’s Friend) say the country of origin is USA.
  2. The least expensive American made Tele starts at around $1400. A couple cosmetic features on this particular model drive the price up: the nitrocellulose finish and the white binding on the front and back edges of the body. And Lake Placid Blue is a somewhat limited color An American Tele in nitro is a steal at $1500.
  3. Russian drones attacked Kyiv over the past couple hours. Here’s a pretty cool (unconfirmed) video of one of them getting shot down.
  4. I’m not a steel guitar guy, but my understanding is that the serial numbers on those aren’t particularly useful for getting an accurate date. But someone else might know more about that. But I believe that model was only made until 1954? The amp appears to be in very good condition for its age. Value depends on originally of the parts, but here’s a ‘58 at Carter’s with a price tag of $3800. https://cartervintage.com/shop/fender-champ-5f1-1958-tweed/2LsY4lErnNxow284tJZB1w7aso5 Does the amp have a two-prong power cable?
  5. The amp dates to August of 1957 per the GH stamp on the tube chart.
  6. Super cool. That looks like a Fender Dual 8 Professional steel guitar from the early to mid 50s. Amp looks like a Fender Champ from the late 50s to early 60s? If you see any codes on or in the amp, post them here and someone here can probably help narrow down when the amp was made.
  7. Thomas Huff is the donor who owned Jetts car wash. He bought Epstein’s Gulfstream right before Epstein’s arrest in 2019 and then tried to sue Epstein’s estate in 2021, claiming that the stigma of the plane made it worthless. FWIW the plane in question is not the Lolita Express. https://nypost.com/2021/10/28/georgia-pilot-bought-epstein-jet-weeks-before-his-arrest/amp/
  8. Classes start Monday. Campus was mostly empty yesterday.
  9. It looks like the new necks are nitro finished. According to specs I’m seeing online, the older ones had a reliced glossy neck? I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen on another Fender. That seems weird. Do you remember if that was the case, Deej? Hope they’re the same profile. Also, just an observation, but it comes with a vintage style six saddle bridge like Strummer’s ‘66 Tele had. This had to have been a modification he had done as the six saddle bridge didn’t appear until 74-75.
  10. Not sure how true this is, but my nephew who is a senior at a different San Antonio HS sent me this tweet. This is the story going around.
  11. https://slate.com/technology/2011/05/apocalypse-2011-what-happens-to-a-doomsday-cult-when-the-world-doesn-t-end.html
  12. Depends. Do you consider taking the boot off your illegally parked car gangsta?
  13. Here’s another vote for the SVT Classic and 8x10 cab. There’s nothing like the feel of a P-bass going through 300 watts of tubes. I still have my first generation blue line SVT rig that I bought back in the late 90s. Don’t know if I’ll ever play it out again but can’t bring myself to sell it. It is my holy grail of bass amps.
  14. https://www.tmz.com/2022/08/05/anne-heche-crashes-car-home-burned-fire/ TMZ has updated their story with a doorbell video that shows her speeding through the neighborhood. You can hear the crash shortly after she’s out of frame. They also have the photo showing the bottle in her console.
  15. Like Science Denier, I was curious to see a comparison to last year’s list. Dug up these screenshots from one of Texifornia’s posts in the 2022 thread.
  16. About to see Kendrick Lamar at Moody Center. First time here in the new venue. Heading over to Hotel Vegas afterwards to see Holy Wave.
  17. Tower Records. I was at this. Roky was signing copies of Openers II.
  18. Before it was Metro, I believe it was Insomnia which was also open 24 hours. I lived at the Woo 94-95 and spent a lot of late nights at Insomnia. The kid who played Hirschfelder in Dazed and Confused worked there.
