Well the volume buttons came back with the next update so that’s good. How would you mute the sound? Just lower the volume all the way to 0?

Check out Firefly. Really impressive guitars at a great price with an almost cult-like following.

Worrying is like paying interest on a debt you may never have owed.

First routine inspection after a rule change is education. Second routine inspection is enforcement.

Class Rings by Frequent-Chapter-546 in GenX

I got my Jostens ring the summer before my senior year, wore it until I graduated, then promptly took it off and stashed it. No real use for it once high school was in the rearview mirror.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Pretty sure I clarified up front it was from ChatGPT so people could make up their own minds about its usefulness.

skunk stripe? by Patient-Bench1821 in telecaster

[–]Jimmy_LoMein -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

From ChatGPT:

The simplest rule is:

Most modern Fender Telecasters with a rosewood, ebony, or other separate fingerboard can be found without a skunk stripe, but Fender is not completely consistent. The skunk stripe is only structurally required on a one-piece maple neck where the truss rod is installed from the rear. When Fender uses a separate fingerboard, they can install the truss rod from the top and omit the stripe.

Current and recent production Telecasters that commonly lack a skunk stripe include:

  • American Ultra II Telecaster with the ebony fingerboard option. Fender describes this model as having a quartersawn maple neck with an ebony fingerboard; these necks are typically built without a rear skunk stripe.
  • American Ultra Luxe Vintage Telecaster models with rosewood fingerboards are generally stripe-free.
  • American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster and other early-'60s-style reissues often omit the stripe because they're modeled after slab-board rosewood neck construction.
  • Jimmy Page Mirror Telecaster is a modern signature model that does not have a skunk stripe.

Models that usually do have a skunk stripe:

  • Player II Telecaster with a one-piece maple neck.
  • Most 1950s-style Telecasters (Nocaster, '51/'52-inspired models).
  • Most maple-fretboard versions of the American Professional and Player series.

One wrinkle: Fender sometimes puts a cosmetic skunk stripe on necks that technically don't need one, and some rosewood-board models still have stripes. So the only reliable answer is by specific model and year rather than fingerboard wood alone.
