I decided to break the ice with these new friends with a few jokes, most of them went down very well. Until I decided to tell a few more offensive jokes. I picked the worst possible one to start off with.

Here is the joke I told; “What do you do if you see an epileptic having a fit in the bath?

Throw in your laundry in.”

One of the friends instantly became enraged and took a swing at me. When I ask him what his problem was he replied that his little brother had been epileptic and had died in the bath many years ago.

Obviously I was mortified as I had not known this. I said “I am so sorry to hear that. Did he drown?”

“No” replied the guy, “he choked on a sock.”

After my wife gave birth, I asked the doctor how long it would be until we could have sex.

He said “I get done at 7 PM, meet me out back.”

The neck that came with the kit did not have side marker dots. Time to fix this (actually I should have done this before). I eyeballed the locations and drilled some holes, glued in some side dot material, then trimmed them off and sanded smooth. A little oil made everything nicey nice.

A bunch of holes!

Dot material glued in.

Trimmed off flush, sanded, and oiled up.

Teenycaster New Nut

Time to replace the crappy plastic nut with something better. I picked up a new TUSQ nut, removed the crappy chinesium nut (it came out in pieces lol), cleaned up the nut slot in the fretboard, sanded the nut down to get the nut slots about right, and added a couple drops of super glue to hold it in place. Easy least.

Oh no! The plastic nut broke. I chiseled out the remaining shards of it’s broken dreams.

There is a new nut in town, and she is much nicer.

The nut is too thick, so gap at the first fret is too big

Some sandpaper fixed the nut. Now the gap is mucho holder.

Next I’ll refine the nut slots with my files and redo the intonation and action.

I used to have an epileptic goldfish. He was ok as long as I didn’t take him out of his bowl.

Tom Anderson Guitar Strap Buttons

This is such a brilliant idea! Ton Anderson guitars include 2 strap buttons so when you put it down and lean against an amp or something, the strap buttons form “feet” so it doesn’t tip over!

Teenycaster Frets and Tuners

The Teenycaster neck needed some attention. The frets sucked (they are dull, the ends are sharp, and some are high and buzz) and the tuners suck (they are wobbly and the ratio is too low). I bought an inexpensive set of Wilkinson tuners that are really nice. They are much better quality than the tuners that come on most inexpensive guitars and they don’t cost an arm and a leg.

First it is time to fix the frets…
