can someone explain the fender guitar naming convention

Kinda? Someone can correct/add on to this but:

FA = Fender Alternative series (“beginner” series/line) -laminate guitars of pressed fiber

CD = Classic Design series - spruce tops, mahogany body

PD = Paramount series -solid mahogany wood top and body

The “E” At the end means they’re electric (likely Fishman pickups)

Dreadnought will be the body shape. This is the big American acoustic shape with deep low end.

Not sure what the individual numbers mean.

Brain chips to be tested on humans this year, Elon Musk says

Reply in thread

First, I wasn’t aware I was on a side.

Second, there’s no attempt at gaslighting. I’m asking why you’re angry. I think it’s because I’m confused what any of this has to do with brain chips. Maybe it’s a post in the wrong thread?

So, in short, I’m just asking you for the reason you’ve posted this, in an attempt to better understand why I’m seeing this where I’m seeing it.

What are your top 3 purchases of all time?

  1. My horse, Lola. She’s an amazing 9yo grey quarter horse mare. “Retired” barrel racer, she’s the perfect trail/ranch horse. She’s got the best quirky and silly demeanor, she loves to hang out, and she’s playful, but never gets crazy under saddle.

  2. My guitar. 2012 PRS 513. I absolutely love that guitar, and it got me back into playing after almost 20 years off. It’s my “do everything” guitar, and the difference in sounds between pickup combinations makes it incredibly versatile.

  3. A good mattress. I spend a solid 1/3 of my life sleeping (or trying to) and a great mattress helps so much.

We Need Downvotes on Lemmy.one

I disagree. Initially, I thought lacking downvotes was an issue as well, but I’ve changed my thinking.

If it’s a post or comment I disagree with, I try to reconcile WHY I disagree, and then use that to participate in the discussion, as opposed to just dropping a downvote and moving on.

If it’s a post or comment that needs active intervention by a moderator, reporting it is the best solution anyway, not simply downvoting it.

Are you doing your part?

This is a good start.

I’m trying to be more vocal than I have been in the past, specifically because if everyone lurks, there’s nothing to read. So even creating silly chat threads is a good start, to drive engagement.
