  1. Is this not one of the sexiest headstocks ever conceived? It really is a shame. Silvertone 14XXs were all over eBay back in the day ~2005ish), and yeah, a really nice one with the original amp-in-case with all it's vinyl/fabric intact would have cost you real money, but there were also well-loved examples in need of some TLC for under a few hundred bucks (CAD), easy. And Jesus, you could pickup old Teiscos for under $50, with 10mm+ action probably, but still! Now even an unfinished project with parts missing is asking $200+. Idk if they're getting that, but they're certainly trying!

    The crazy thing isn't that there are nice complete Silvertone 1448s (and similar) with the matching amp case going for two grand. What's weird to me is that (at least online), it's actually hard to come across a beat up but saveable example for sale at all.

    Did they really all just get parted out? Or bought as donors and the rest just sold off (or God forbid... disposed of!?)

    I don't want to buy a museum piece. I want to play a funky little budget guitar from the 60s that makes me smile every time I look at it's little googie architecture meets Gumby face 😭

  2. Late 20th Century Entropy Circus with OpenSim visuals. The light and skies on OpenSim are beautiful. Derived from the old Second Life technology. We can probably do more sophisticated things with Unity but those are very evocative skies.

    Meanwhile the audio is pretty much Danelectro six-strings with a Casio RZ-1 drum machine. Classic combo. And the loops of traffic are from Blackhorse Lane on a Sony MiniDisc recorder.

  3. My Danelectro ‘Dead on 67’ Hornet. Always an interesting flavour of tone, and super stylish retro looks. #guitar #guitarpedals #danelectro

  4. They aren't the best guitars in the world, but [Marge Simpson voice] I just think they're neat! (Pic is actually mine this time.)

  5. @3dprinting And here's the clip that holds it in place. The first generation was just a rectangular bar of PLA. Now it has a nut trap, a stiffening rib, and two feet that are rounded like the hole. And it's PETG for resiliency.

    This clip will clamp onto the inside of the guitar body when the screw is tightened.

    I like making hidden parts pretty.

  6. @3dprinting My very first multicolor print. I don't have an MMU (yet), so I swapped filaments by hand. The red inlay is 4 layers deep, so there were 5 filament changes.

  7. @3dprinting Mike says the guitar's name is Maybell. So I made this in Inkscape and used it to cut an outline into the 3D model. This time I did create a 0.2mm gap in the model.

  8. @RuVerb They went all in. The buttons are like side exhaust pipes and the [edit: TAILlights, not headlights] are indicator leds. #danelectro #wah #pedal

  9. Got myself a new toy off of Craigslist. Anyone want to form a scuzzy, sleazy, garage-rock band with a guitarist who can barely play but likes to make a racket?
