Good thing at work time again. Not so much work as my vocation as a random guitar player. A couple of weeks ago, a friend dropped a guitar off that he had made for me (good thing no.1). I took it to Upton On Severn blues festival this weekend, got to jam at the open mic at the White Lion and found out that the built in fuzz wasn't necessary, this hooligan plank overdrives amps anyway (good thing no.2).
What good thing happened while you were at work today?

It's still a strange feeling knowing I actually have fans. Like almost all artists and performers, I am riddled with self doubt and the sense of never being quite good enough. Funny how that is, there are people who are much better than I am who are pale and shaking before they play, then they play like burning angels, and afterwards are angry with the universe because they feel they didn't do it well enough.
I understand that totally. When I was at the top of my game in the fabrication of lighting fixtures for historic homes (many years ago) I had a nice following and a lot of notoriety but it never felt comfortable. I appreciated the acknowledgement and acceptance of my work, but also knew fellas whom I considered better tinsmiths than I ever was. It's all in how you deal with it I think. I watched some very talented American craftsmen rise to the top and then lose it all either due to poor business decisions or getting too big for their britches.
I've seen some of your video and I'm a fan for sure. Keep at it old fella!

LOL!!! I had that happen to me quite a long time ago. Nice enough fella, didn't think it was my thing, but thought he'd give it a shot anyway.
My uncle told me to be glad that anybody at all was interested! Man I hate my uncle.
Lud, are you able to swap out that resistor?
It's not a resistor that can be "swapped out"
The pickups need to be removed and the coils "unwound" a bit.

Jeez, ludwig, sounds like my day at work, just add greasy hair and bleeding knuckles.
Today is somewhat better, installing a lift kit- in a VW beetle. 1" makes a world of difference in winter. Adds clearance for slightly larger wheels.
