they really will just let anyone in here....

only you could make me look saner whilst using everything you know about me all at once

ill just start with the problemtic elements (as is my normal function) from the top down:

1) The 5 pickup Strat

It is problematic in several ways:

a) most notably the Strat famously didnt even have a 5 way switch till 1977, so we're just supposed to take your word that despite the heritage Daphne Blue colour this is a modern Strat with at least 5 way switching, which leads us to​

b) Even if it was equipped with a modern 5 way switch that would, assuming as any sane person would, that it switched to only one pick up of the 5 at a time (to satisfy the full 5 pickup load out), you would be almost immediately put to death by a legion of Strat players who would want your blood because:​

i. they will want to know where the most beloved pickup switch position of all time (known as position 4 - neck and middle) is using your bonkers layout...because now position 4 would technically be, depending on your new wiring paradigm, either "neck below neck/middle- adjacent neck" by itself or "middle adjacent neck and middle", or even "not quite neck and middle". For one, it would totally break John Mayer​

​

c) Extra magnetic string pull cutting sustain and causing choked notes​

​

Ironically the one thing you;d think might be an issue is routing out all the extra wood underneath the pickguard leaving whats known as a "swimming pool route", and because it has a name its of course been done before...SRV himself had a 1959 Strat that had at one time had been routed out to death to put 4 humbuckers in it. Best guitar routing story of all time is Bruce Springsteens famous Esquire which wa sonce owned by a record company, who routed it out and stuck 4 pickups in it, each with an output...session muso's using it could at the time earn 4 times the scale because each pickup output was technically a different recording....

2) Cats and Strats - Every cat i ever had when i played was as indifferent to guitar as that one in the pic looks

3) The Bear and guitar...as a real guitarist its visually offensive to see a play guitar that people plug into a console and pretend to play guitar on. Guitars do not have D-Pads, Im just going to blame millennials and gen z-ers for this nonsense (as is my usual response). That youve combined it with a Bear is particularly offensive. He cant be related to mine as mine would know better. Anwyays he's sitting in front of paperwork, he might just be the worst of all known guitar players, a bear incarnation of the Blues Lawyer. For the uninitiated a blues lawyer (a term used on guitar forums) decribes someone who is a cashed up professional, like a lawyer (but sometimes an orthodonist) who has expensive guitars, often Fender Custom Shop or Limited Edition guitars in his office, on display like art - worst offenders will have them in a glass case on the floor or acrylic case on the wall. The guitars are almost never played. Blues Lawyers also only STILL know the first basic blues licks they learnt in the 70's, and have never progressed.

Day 2 of 2023...just think, theres only 363 more days of this level of pedantism and OT to go folks. Could be a bumper year.

Blame @pndwal on this occasion.....
