Thought I'd show off the guitar corner. See, we'd visited my brother, followed by Mike. And both of them had guitars hanging from the walls. And so Mrs. Wirehead asks if those fancy wall mounts are especially expensive, knowing how annoying the guitar stands are and how much floor space they take up and also knowing how I wasn't playing guitar with my effects box packed up and my guitar in it's case.. I told her that no, they weren't especially expensive and resolved to get one once I found my FX processor. I realized, after knocking on the wall and listening for echos, that there weren't any conveniently located studs other than myself. So I had to get some toggle bolts. I figure that they are actually easier to remove than most other options and sturdier... each one is rated at 50 lbs. I got the Hercules ones. They've got a clamp-thingie that grips around the neck, actuated by the pressure of mounting the guitar. Good feature, especially in Earthquake country. When I am engineering physical things, you will rapidly discover that I will build it in the sturdiest possible fashion, strong enough to survive the overpressure of a nuclear explosion. Only problem is that I needed a 3/8" drill bit and the largest one I had was 1/4". So I had to borrow a bit out of therider's collection. After I borrowed it, I realized that it was awfully wide... and that my crappy drill might not be big enough for it. Perhaps I should have taken up the offer of borrowing a proper drill. Thakfully, I discovered that therider's bit would fit in my chuck. Quit snickering, pervert! It's two Ibanez guitars. I didn't set out to buy an Ibanez guitar. It just happened that way. I didn't set out to buy an Ibanez bass. Same deal. I actually had my eye on a funky-shaped BC Rich until I realized that the Ibanez sounded much much better and style was less important than substance. I'm just glad to have things organized in a nice space-efficient fashion. The past 6 months have been a long and involved quest to reduce the amount of crap I continue to keep around and... for the stuff I still have... store it in the most ergonomic and space-efficient way possible... which is why I've got an old Rackmount digitech effects processor on my desk instead of a real 70 watt amp. Now, I want a Fender VI to keep in a display case and forbid people to point at or even look at for very long. Complete with the price tag still attached.
