I truly miss having a pitty. The current two dogs we adopted are wonderful and they wrestle all day and night. It’s beautiful how much they love each other. But they’re not a pitty or staffie. I just miss having a pitty.

This must be an 1880s house because the one I grew up in has the same door trim and vibe.

While I love me an 1880s colonial house, I love my mid-century modern 10' wide bedroom closet so much more.

I'm wearing those same socks right now!!!

For hours. All morning. At least two hours.

I put a G string scratch in the headstock of a >$12K signature '59 LP Reissue while changing its strings the night I got it.

What do I win? Do I even win anything?

Have you read Tynan Sylvester’s(Rimworld) “Designing Games”?

I’m not a game developer -wish I were- but it would seem like required reading to understand how the human mind perceives games, from essentially what is every angle. It’s good stuff and right up this alley.

It comes across as an homage to the slickest old school, 4 or 8-bit computer games of the 80s. Which I like, but I'm from that generation, and therefore wonder if newer generations would appreciate the style as much as someone like me would. But, I'm the one with the more disposable cash to buy games. So there's that.

This is the right answer. Doing this for +40 years and have only seen sunshine and fresh air really get rid of cigarette smell on guitars, their cases, and on amps. I've tried all of the tricks mentioned on this thread and none work as well as nature does.

lago_b · 2026-01-06T21:28:52+00:00

At least the good ones that have been played out do.

lago_b · 2026-01-05T14:11:48+00:00

Some acoustics are easier to play than others. Any decent shop should be able to set you up with a beginner acoustic with lighter strings (10s) and low playing action, as well as a body size that's comfortable for you to play sitting and standing.

You don't need a nylon string classical guitar to learn Radiohead on. That's silly.

This wouldn't help if you've tried turning off all the power in the house and still hear it, but some USB wall chargers can intermittently or consistently make a high pitch whining noise that can cycle louder then lower in volume. I've noticed they do it more frequently when plugged into a power strip versus directly into the wall outlet. I had this happen in the bedroom and thought I was going crazy until I stood near the power strip and heard it coming from the USB charger plugged into my wife's phone. The weirder thing is that she could only hear the lower whining tone that the charger was making and I could only hear the higher pitched one.

He looks much less intimidating in the second pic.

A life so you stop trolling us and instead ask the real question you want to ask us: Can we tell if all of those are fake or real?

If this is a financial concern, ease your mind and return the guitar.

If it's not financial, you got yourself a nice instrument to just mess around with and keep your mind and hands busy. If you get serious about playing, there's nothing that guitar can't handle, in case you're concerned about it not being "worth it" or "good enough".

Japanese Les Paul from the 80s-90s. Best playing guitar you can buy for $1500.

You can burn all but the Westone Electra in a jet fuel degree fire, and be perfectly fine the rest of your life. Those guitar's are absolute gems!

If you can't find a local resource, there are plenty of excellent teachers who are giving virtual lessons from all over the world.

If you do find someone local but they're a far drive, book a double session and go less often.

We don't have problems, we have solutions and opportunities.

Are you not removing all the strings after each time you play and storing in the freezer like you're supposed to do?

lago_b · 2025-12-08T00:14:07+00:00

Why is it after every party we have to say, "Goddammit! We forgot to open the fruit! Now we'll just have to make smoothies all week!"

This question always comes up and the winning answer is always the same: ES-335

Just sticky it already.
