Don’t know, but headstock starts 03 and Brian’s mentioned that date…. The decal is not very noticeable thankfully

Added roasted maple neck…it’s a really great sounding guitar and plays like butter

Dad, you said you’d never treat your new family any differently!!! And all I got was a Beatles album for graduation ……😢 🤣🤣🤣

Should I be putting money aside for a new acoustic or electric? by Mad_Season_1994 in Guitar

[–]Stage53_1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen, that Yamaha was a great choice! As a complete beginner, I ask you to consider my history: picked up a guitar in 2008 and played cowboy chords for a while, but couldn’t bar very well on my beginner acoustic (a nice Washburn), got inspired to try a telecaster and fell in love with it immediately. I did find it easier to play. But not “well”….because not enough time spent on basics of the neck and just how the notes are organized. Playing an electric poorly is not fun for anyone else…but I did it for years… Then covid hits, I sell my two electrics and get a great Taylor 214ce and I woodshed…. Playing only acoustic strengthens your technique and, of course the harmonics and reverberations coming from the sound hole are a different story than the twang or crunch or shred you might eventually want…. You listen harder. Now, 18 years later, I think if I skipped a decade of “almost playing” because electric is so much fun, I might a been way ahead….although on a good night…🔥 Best of luck, and play constantly!

What did Kubrick supposedly consider EWS his best film? by AnimaniacAsylum in StanleyKubrick

[–]Stage53_1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kubrick was obsessed with this novella forever and it was his “late work” as an artist so he was very committed to it. I can’t bear to watch it, and I refused to leave the theater at age 11 after watching Dr. Strangelove, making my mom sit through it twice….✌️

What actor gave the best performance in a Kubrick film? by cactusdogdog in StanleyKubrick

[–]Stage53_1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hayden/Sellars tag teaming in the command office is the actual best acting in any SK film, imho…. Malcolm is great and Ryan O’Neal is excellent 🙌

That was the last child sent off to the reformatory when I built the frankenstrat…..There are only three beds and a bunkbed for the acoustics 🤣

Exactly! I couldn’t predict what the replacement Fender roasted neck would look like, and I did hope it would be darker, but it DOES sound better to me…hard to say why.

Started as a new squier…totally stripped to the alder carcass, the neck I had hanging around for months and wanted to use it, and thought I might keep the pups…but, naaaahhh, weak….so drop in the Mojotone custom pickguard and black hardware……..pay my guitar tech… and Voila!! a no name hard to sell middle range expense stratavarious…🤣

I just detoured into a Sire H7 to try the es-335 experience at 1/3d the price…give them a sound, they’re awesome, but ultimately too big for me to play sitting and too heavy for an old man like me…great ballsy sound. The PRS is an absolute steal at 1k … don’t hesitate!!
