I now have five electric guitars and as many acoustics (not counting basses, etc., for either category). They all get played and have their niche, but I also feel like I'm good and content for now with what I have and any more feels superfluous.
How good is the battery life on my #Asus#Zenfone 11? I spent all day at #Disneyland, leaving at close. Relatives with iPhones had their batteries die around noon to mid-afternoon. Disneyland sells portable chargers everywhere. I never charged my phone once, used it all throughout the day (pretty much have to run Disneyland app), didn't use any power saving mode, etc, and when I got back in around 1:30am, I still had 55% left.
@vwbusguy my work uses iphones so I have to carry one around alongside my personal, even with a brand new battery my work phone has always at best lasted like 1/2-1/3 as long as any other phone I've owned in the past 10 years, even my 6 year old worn battery on my current personal phone (LGv30) lasts like 3 times as long as my work iphone with it's brand new battery....I really don't understand how apple is so bad with battery life, i couldn't engineer it worse if i tried.
I did something today I never thought I would do. I got my first #Gretsch#guitar. I traded the Stagemaster for it. I would describe both the visuals and tone as "shiny".
I might put a pic or two of it on my Pixelfed in a couple of days.
@vwbusguy Nice! The Filter'Tron equipped models are very versatile. My experience of them is that they can navigate between PAF and single coil quite nicely. And , paired with a Bigsby, the aesthetics are unmatched. The brand feels a bit soulless in its Fender era; like G&L under BBE.
@mwhjohnson I have a PRS Custom 24-08, which is much more convincing for doing PAF and Strat sounds. This guitar tone lives somewhere inbetween those two worlds.
Pound for pound, the whammy system on a #Fender Stratocaster is as good as it gets. I'm obviously not saying it's better than everything else in every way, but I'd take it over a Bigsby or Floyd Rose for any #guitar that I'm also in charge of tuning and changing strings on.
Apparently being in my 40s means I can no longer sleep or sit in a number of different positions without somehow injuring my back for days, weeks, or months at a time.

As fat as I know readers digest still exists and their children's magazine is still in production. The parents read Reader's Digest while the kids read Highlights. I had a subscription to it and Nintendo Power.
