git shit

got my varsity indonesian axe back from sessions music today, luxuriously appointed with 'meercun strat electronics 'n' scratch plate. we'll see how she behaves on jam night. the peavey is a more disappointing story -- zasko's convinced it's a transformer. film, as they say, at 11.

cleaned up james' chinese squier tele today and threw a new set of strings on. discovered the major flaw in the squier tele's design. while leo fender's original telecaster design was simple, practical, and ergonomic, with the strings running through the back of the body, the squier tele's weak, bullshit-ass design has them running through the tailpiece so you have to lift the individual bridge saddles to thread the strings through 'em, which is hard to do without bending or crimping the strings, weakening them and making them more prone to breakage. duh.
