Updates for 2023
Upgraded my Fender Strat with Fishman Fluence pickups
Pickup upgrades to my Fender Statocaster guitar with pictures. A review of the Fishman Fluence single coil pickups.
Got the mother of all amplifiers
Nostalgic purchase of one of my favorite guitar amplifiers of all time. Many years ago I used on of the original SLO-100s. This was a great purchase. Now I need to get a new Mesa Boogie at around the same wattage.
Upgraded the Carvin CT6M with Fishman Fluence Pickups
Showing off my CT6M with some explanation of the upgrades including the Fishman Fluence modern humbuckers. All the additional wiring etc needed to get the maximum number of voice. Great guitar.
New (kinda) Jeep Wrangler
Got a second Jeep Wrangler. Really missed my old one and regretted getting the Cherokee, even though I needed better milage at the time.

Some of my “deep thoughts” about academia and why everyone seems to want to associate their area of study with hard sciences so much these days. Why that might be a bad idea etc.
Currently Listening: LORN
LORN, my current favorite electronic musician. Probable favorite for ever.
