There are a LOT of Black Friday deals out there. And, since T-day isn’t even until next week, there are more of them coming. I almost always end up picking something new up between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Most of the time, it’s the Cyber Monday deals that get me. This year, I’ve already …

Anti-social Media
The election is finally over. Thank the Maker! But that hasn’t kept one side from gloating and the other side from crying big ol’ crocodile tears. And, truthfully, no matter how this election would’ve ended, I don’t believe the noise from it will be over for months. But I digress. Today I wanted to make …
Various Thoughts of Late
Not much to talk about today. So I’ll just throw out some random things from the last few weeks.
Am I a Nobel guitar player?
Every time I hear someone play an ODR-1, I dig it. It’s just a really good sounding pedal! I had somehow missed until a couple years ago that it was something of a Nashville staple pedal. Back in like 2021, I had a guitar buddy that had one, and he loaned it to me. I …
Reverb Changes
I like Reverb. At least in the past I have. I’ve spent way to much money on that site. I, also, used to use it to sell gear that I didn’t necessarily want anymore. And this post is going to be a little complain-y I’m sure. Before Etsy bought them (or whatever their parent is …
Squier vs Fender
I have several Squiers. I have several Fenders. They’re both good companies. They both make good guitars. Brief history. My most recent Squier and my most recent Fender have both been Telecasters. And both were purple. One was a Squier Classic Vibe 50s Tele. The other was a Fender Road Worn 50s Tele. I had …
Cheap OD Addiction
I have a problem with buying cheap ODs. I have a drawer full of them. Actually like 2 drawers full of them. 2 drawers with like 40 pedals each. Suddenly I feel like I need to qualify that last statement. I also have my “good” OD pedals too. In fact, I currently have 2 boards …
My New Epiphone ES-355 – After 6 Weeks with It
I’ve had that Epiphone 1959 ES-355 for about 6 weeks now. In fact, I think it was an even 6 weeks yesterday. I think that’s plenty of time to get past the honeymoon period with it and be a little more objective about what I do and don’t like about it. So here’s my 6-week …

I Like Big Necks
I recently changed jobs. Same company, but going back to a little more technical role than I’ve had the last few years. I mentioned a few weeks ago that there was a new guitar out that I wanted and gave several of the reasons I wanted it. Mrs Snarf told me maybe I needed a …
Reverb Jackwagons
Now I know I’ve been guilty of this too, but, as soon as I realize I am, I stop. And, I try to be honest with myself from the beginning about it. Yes, I am talking about the “I know what I’ve got” people. I was reminded of them today. I was surfing Reverb as …
