stained the poplar 7 string a nice green, did a quick coat of shellac on the neck and body. still carving away a bit at it, but its as done as it is for now. next body will change direction, do another hollow shell, probably maple/sapele or mahogany. low b string isn't very loud unplugged. #guitar

Green stained 7 string fanned fret guitar with maple neck. 2 humbuckers. Bottom of guitar has an extended bout, sort of like a kickstand. Idea borrowed from steve klein's ergonomic electric guitar

Only a specific type of person wants this. It's an Apple II floppy box, original. I feel bad throwing it out without offering it to whoever wants to cover postage, in the US.

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

NEW STUDY

Since I was born, 500 Black neighborhoods have vanished

And 500,000 Black people have been lost

All due to urban revitalization projects

Like the one for LA’s new coliseum — for the Clippers and ‘26 Olympics — that’s destroying Inglewood

Just sayin

Chart comparing the number of camera, the number of giant squid footages and the number of bigfoot footages.

Number of giant squids rises as the number of camera increase, but not the number of bigfoot.
