Tom Anderson Drop Top Shorty Cosmic Purple Double WipeoutAs far as word salads go, we just might have a new winner. It’s hard to tell exactly where the model name ends and the paint/finish description begins.Lots of guitars have a veneer top in a fancier wood than the rest of the body. Strat style guitars have a tapered area on the lower bout, which is called by various terms that usually involve some combination of the words “arm/forearm”, “rest”, “contour”, and “carve.” Of course, this entails carving right through the top cap if the guitar has one… UNLESS you carve the main body first, then steam or soak the top wood and bend it to follow the curve. This is known as a “drop top.” We have seen this before, but Tom Anderson claims to be the first to have ever done it, which we did not know, but someone had to be the first. Here we have a quilted maple top with a multi-color stain, but not in a typical sunburst with a central color blending to a different color around the edges, possibly with one or more intermediary colors. This instead has a linear gradient, which used to be highly unusual, although we are starting to see it more frequently these days. (Was Tom Anderson the first to do that as well‽ We have no evidence one way or the other.) We personally probably would have skipped the hot pink and maybe added in a stripe of grey somewhere, but that’s just us.The top also features wood binding, which would need to be bent not just in two dimensions for the outline of the guitar, but in the third dimension as well to account for the drop top.Two hum-cancelling single coils and a hum-cancelling humbucker. We’ve commented before on how the lack of mounting rings for humbuckers leaves unsightly holes. But with single coils, you can actually see the hookup wires‽ C’mon now. Five-way pickup selector, volume, tone, and an extra coil split toggle.Recessed “Baby Floyd Rose” bridge (without the locking nut and fine tuners). We did not even know that was a thing, and have not ruled out the possibility that they were designed specifically for Tom Anderson. Dude’s innovating up a storm over here. Now where does that lower strap button think it’s going‽#PurpleGuitarPhursday

Fanboys freak out whenever big media franchises have a non-white-male protagonist. I never want to agree with those people, and yet I often find that a lot of those particular installments just aren't well written (with certain notable exceptions). The conspiracy theorist in me begins to wonder whether the studios are intentionally giving weaker material to minority actors and directors in order to set them up for failure. I want to think that we live in a world where that sort of thing doesn't happen, but... [gestures].

@cy It's nice when a writer-director gets to actually tell the story that they want to tell, instead of trying to make sense of something that was clearly cobbled together from multiple scripts with half a dozen credited writers.

@futurebird I had to stop collecting Fabergé eggs for similar reasons.

There was another 80s band called Depeche Median, but they were pretty mid.

Yo MAGA so dumb, they thought a corrupt New York real estate tycoon would be the savior of the middle American working man (and in some cases "women.")

Yo MAGA so naïve, they voted for a known sex offender thinking they would get to be the one porn star who got paid off instead of the many people who just got screwed.

@futurebird Isn't "lock in" a game show thing to indicate you've committed to your choice?

There are times, not infrequently, while teetering on the edge of sleep, when I feel something that I can only describe as akin to phantom limb syndrome, in two places on my back, where my wings used to be.

The strange part is, to the very best of my remembrance, I never had wings at all, nor do I bear any scars to suggest otherwise.

@futurebird My (extremely limited) person observation of ants once lead me to conclude that they are blind, which I subsequently learned is not actually true, but if so then they wouldn’t know what a mirror is.

@futurebird What I always found confusing was that, if we are meant to take the entire Bible as literally, historically true, then that means that not only did this conversation literally occur, but some random human must have been present to witness and document it‽
