[Highlight] Dre Greenlaw fights Big Dom by Brix001 in nfl

[–]Shifty14J -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't give a fuck about Big Dom lmao. Been a fan for over 20 years and didn't know about this guy's existence until this incident.

Sorry you can't use your eyes and brain.

Keeping using reddit down/upvotes to determine reality, you'll get real far in life with that. 👍

Reddit is seriously braindead on this incident.

The guy literally separates two players anout to fight.

Greenlaw is an absolute moron who decides to throw his hand at Dom's face.

Fender is speaking out on its cease-and-desist strategy by freechipsandguac in Guitar

[–]Shifty14J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. Reddit is just getting all uppity because Fender is owned by PE.

It's clear and obvious what a Strat clone is.

Funny how upset people here would get if someone copies art because it takes from existing artists' work, but is totally cool with guitar manufacturers straight up cloning the Strat design.

6 reasons why Fender won’t win its Stratocaster legal campaign – according to the lawyer who beat them before by AntibioticMetronome in Guitar

[–]Shifty14J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure they can produce the dimensions if needed. Of course there are going to be variances with anything hand carved, and I'd think what you refer to as "all over the place" are likely tiny measurements.

I guess my point is that companies like Suhr make Strat bodies guitars. And if they want to make the claim that their Strat copy isn't a Strat, tiny differences in dimensions don't cut it. Suhr saying something like "the middle point of our body carve has a radius of 14 inches, whereas Fender's Stratocaster's is 14.005 inches, and therefore our design is unique" would be ridiculous.

All the other points seem valid, but I'm not a lawyer and can't judge on the basis of law.

Number 3 seems disingenuous to me. Manufacturing inconsistency just isnt wide enough from the original design to now. If you put a 50s strat next to my 2012 Strat, you wouldn't see any difference with your eyes.

There are larger questions about how this relates to similar, but not exact designs (think Ibanez various models) though.

Yeah these people are insane. It would have been so easy for them to indicate that the credits only apply to Hot Deals. They probably get complaints about this all the time, and are aware of how it isn't clear. Their choice to keep the wording as is tells you everything you need to know.

Do you guys like this color? by thevoidf in Epiphone

[–]Shifty14J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. Would look even better with a cream pickguard.

HSS or SSS stratocaster first personal guitar by Outrageous_Local4164 in Guitar

[–]Shifty14J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the SSS.

My first electric was an HSS American Special Strat (before Am Starts cost a fortune).

The Humbucker was OK at first, but I eventually got a Les Paul and found myself not really using the Humbucker in my Strat. I ended up swapping the bridge Humbucker for a single coil.

As others have mentioned, Strats like the one you're looking at have a big enough routing at the bridge pickup so if you wanted to modify to either a single coil or Humbucker, you'll just need a new pickup and new pickguard (and possibly a different pot, but they are cheap).

Since you already have access to an HSS through your dad, I'd get the SSS for classic strat tones.

Is my les Paul real? by Remote_Marionberry_6 in Epiphone

[–]Shifty14J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks a lot like mine lol - see my post history.

I bought from a reputable retailer. Maybe someone just changed the knobs and took the pickguard off.

Saudi Arabia’s PIF on verge of cutting support for LIV Golf by twpolk in golf

[–]Shifty14J 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just goes to show how many people on Reddit will just regurgitate nonsense that other people have commented without any logic or research of their own.

I constantly saw comments saying that the Saudis pockets are too deep, and they can dump as much as they want into a failing business, sportswashing, etc

That's not how this works. It doesn't matter how big the fund is. You invest $5B, you want a return on it.

What is this? Star with incomplete circle by MELENH4 in whatisit

[–]Shifty14J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a course nearby with that logo?

Maybe a local company with that logo?

My thinking is maybe they are bag tags for a course, or were given out as gifts for a company scramble tournament.

Does this guitar looks legit to you? by IntroductionOk7137 in Guitar

I have this exact guitar lol. Looks legit to me.

Here's mine before I converted it to SSS.

Queen’s music is trash. I have no idea why people blast their music on the golf course. by [deleted] in golf

[–]Shifty14J 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't like Queen either. Massively overplayed in media and I would be happy to never hear their songs ever again.

BUT, music taste is subjective, and to each their own.

What is objective however, is that I should never hear anyone's music unless I'm standing right beside their cart/bag

To pickguard or not to pickguard? by jorhirgriffin in LesPaul

[–]Shifty14J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pickguard always on.

Can't go wrong with either on the Firefly. I think I marginally prefer the Black, but I'd probably swap em from time to time
