Not super jazzy-looking indeed. I was in the market for a simple no-frills guitar that I could play "silently" at work during lunch break. I was thinking cheap Tele or something (and certainly not an HSS configuration), but this popped up second hand for a very decent price. Well, this is actually an excellent piece of hardware for jazz. I'm not exactly sure about what the 5-ways selector does, but on the second top position (2 single-coils together?), the hum is gone and the clarity is fantastic. If somebody has info on what that selector does, I'm curious.

I've been a hobbyist shoemaker for several years now. Mostly stitchdown chukkas until now, so making a pair of sneakers is a first. I have to admit that I used to look down on the cupsole construction. In retrospect, that's actually a pretty neat and quick way to build shoes. Anyway. What I'm particularly proud of is that this is my first very own design. Pattern-making has terrified me for a long time and Etsy is full of readymade patterns. My recent read of Marcell Mrsan helped me overcome that fear. Fantastic books by a fantastic guy.

Holy crap! I made my own patterns! This is awesome!!!!!!
