    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.

    Odd that's it's dated "1980."  The post-CBS larger headstock was standard at that time.  The first attempt at the original smaller headstock was in 1980 with "The Strat" which got the proportions wrong.  Yours is definitely not that.  And the true to the pre-CBS reissues didn't come out until late 1982. Even then those weren't true to the originals.  Fender didn't have true clay dot reissues until a little later.  Also, the spacing on the dots at the 12th fret is quite wide - signaling a reissue or perhaps maybe a secondary market neck?  Not sure if Warmoth or Mighty Mite or the like were making reissue necks like that at the time.  If it really is 1980 or before, then most likely it isn't Fender.  If it is 1980, I'd wager it's a secondary supplier, or maybe even Japanese.  Maybe Tokai with a new decal?  In any case, a beautiful neck with just the right amount of wear/patina.  You got a winner for sure.

  2. Excellent thread by David Frum and the interview with former Ambassador Brink will be worth listening to.  He is correct at the core:  Every decision to slow-roll aid and belief that the war could be delicately managed to avoid angering Russia too much set up the abandonment of Ukraine.  
     
     

    In other words, you can’t bargain with a schoolyard bully like Putin. You have to punch him straight in the nuts as hard as you can from the first sign of threat. He won’t play fair, why should you? He has no respect for diplomacy, only force. So give it to him in spades.

  3. 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.

    Waaat?

    What’s the story here? Details on all the parts.
  4. lol now the DOJ plans to go after those who use the ICE Block app.
     
    This app lets people drop a pin on locations where these J6 bounty hunters are stationed 

    I remember a time when someone thought they controlled a stupid internet site full of assholes and then they all just left and went somewhere else and kept trucking.

    Be a shame if that happened in this case.

    From my centrist buddy who votes Dem as of the last decade, but seems to hate doing it. 
     

     

    This is where one of my cousins with whom I often differ politically stands, though he claims to be "libertarian."  He used to live in NYC, but now lives in rural PA.  He's freaking out about Mamdani, and going to the fallback of "Dems are too extreme, they're going to make it seem like all Dems are like Mamdami/AOC/the Squad.  Here's what I told him:

    "Maybe the NY Republicans should try to figure out how they let it get this bad? How their party became so out of touch with the voters as to make the state effectively a one party state that then runs amuck with policies that push voters further to the left.  Maybe they need some introspection and to figure out where they have gone wrong to allow this democratic socialist to get elected." 

    Which was fun to say.  At the same time, he's not wrong - the Republicans are very good at taking an anecdote and extrapolating it (extremely, I may add) to the entirety of all Dems everywhere.  It's what's got them hunting us in MN.

    Did you see the missiles launch through the top of the cabin. First question, how are they literally in one piece. Second, how are they not well done Asian Skewers of meat. Holy shit. 

    Honestly, think death may have been a better outcome. As a past victim of 3rd degree burns on a small part of my body, I don’t even wish that on the Orc buddies the NORKS. 

    That's the whole reason I said what I said!
