I hate it when people hold the door open and they're like 50 feet away. Now I feel obligated to run, but if I full on run I feel like an idiot. So I half run. I trot. Like a horse. This makes me feel like an even bigger idiot. I'm not an angry feminist type like "I can open my own door!!" But if it takes me longer than 3 seconds to reach the door it just becomes awkward. Door holding etiquette is a thing. Or at least should be
Me too. I guess it only gets better if one regularly does it and your arms get used it. As long as they're not, ceiling work becomes hellish soon.
So... There's this term, "lawsuit guitars" that gets used and misused a lot when dealing with vintage Japanese guitars that are copies of American designs. I'm here to misuse it some more..... In reality there was only one actual lawsuit, but many guitars made from about 1974 through 1981 get called "Lawsuit Era Guitars". For the most part what this implies is the overall shape of the guitars, being copied... at least that's all the actual lawsuit was able to go after. And that was only allowed to go after the headstock shape of one guitar. Many other "copies" made it through with no problems, but the Japanese companies around 1975-76 decided to just change the shapes slightly and avoid lawsuits all together. Anyways, history lesson section of this post is over... So where is this going? Here... (Seller's photo) This has to be from around 1974 or 1975... (lawsuit era) It's a Gibson Explorer copy, seller said the brand was Cort, could have been several other brands labeled on it as well, doesn't matter. In 76 the headstock shape would have changed, so this one is older than that. The wood that Japan was importing at that point in time was top notch hardwoods from all over the planet. This body is solid Honduras Mahogany, the Mahogany neck is a glued in neck joint which makes this one of the higher end of these "lawsuit era" guitars. Also at this time, the Japanese craftsmen were far outdoing the American industrialization of guitar building... In other words, craftsmanship was going up in Japan, American factories were producing crap... Now this particular guitar came with some cheaper hardware on it originally, but the wood and the fit and finish of the body and neck should be top shelf. The hardware comes with the guitar, not sure how much of that is original or upgraded parts... I was mostly after the body and neck anyways. I'll choose what hardware I want to use once it gets here... Should be here Monday. You can't even buy a piece of Honduran Mahogany like this anymore, anywhere. Certainly not wood that has been aged for 45+ years. This is some serious tone goin' on here... Serious Tone.
My dad used to drive drunk, hopped up on Tramadol, and falling asleep. Now that was scary! More than once I had to grab the wheel, which, if you knew my dad, wasn't a good idea. I just remember those long nights in the dead of winter, debating whether to grab the wheel as we verged into oncoming traffic. Mortifying.
