An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

Not sure if I accomplished anything in terms of advancing the skill, but I sure got tired.

Hell yeah. I've got 14, myself. Working on a home recording studio now.

Who needs more than a bridge bucker and a volume knob amirite?

That's my DeLonge style strat in teal and pink. Picked it up at a garage sale for $40 and got new hardware/electronics. It SHREDS now. I like to take it out on the back porch with my little rechargeable amp and rip some tasty licks in the sweet, crisp, summer mornings with a nice fresh brewed coffee.

I have a good life.

I just commented on that one. It's ok. Not my favorite, but it's got sentimental value.

[–] technomad@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh, i didn't realize that was about the same guitar 😅

Which one is your favorite then?

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

As far as looks the Yamaha Revstar or Surf Pearl Fender Strat. As far as sound and playability, the Godin Exit 22. It's the single cut mahogany one. I love my Fenders too. They will always be my proof to myself that "I've made it" because I didn't think I would ever be able to afford even just one. I was but a Squier boy as a young man. The red strat on the bottom was the first guitar my parents bought me in 1999.

A Revstar in the wild! I have the same color/humbucker in Standard! Now if I only knew how to play it…

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I love that guitar. Punches way above its price point

[–] Motorheadbanger@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's impressive! Gotta get me an SG one day, really like the shape

My parents bought me that in 2002. It's an Epi. I replaced the electronics and put fake inlays in the fretboard. Now the biggest fan of the tune-o-matic bridges, but they are easier than Fender's for sure.
