As a kid I wanted to go to music school but we couldn't afford it because my single mother had two jobs and other three children to take care of.
I did free lessons at the community center, borrowed my first instrument and got library books. No one encouraged me to do it, I just did it because music was something I wanted in my life.
Now OK, that was me and I was just a kid with a lot of spare time right? What about adults?
Well, if I graduated while working full-time (and I'm not exactly "Good Will Hunting" level of smart) everyone can do something as trivial as learning basic Spanish if they want.

I don't think money is an entry barrier for most of those things. It is if you want to make any of those things a full time job.

Yeah but it's too much redpilled jargon to be understood by a simple mortal like me. So I'll leave you to it since it's starting to sound a lot like "anyone that doesn't have my specific and niche point of view is an enemy and must be educated" and I don't feel like being educated by someone that uses this amount of emoticons

As a polyero, would you start a relationship with someone that wants a monogamous relationship?

There is nothing wrong in wanting sexual exclusivity, in the same way there is nothing wrong in wanting more than one partner.
Seeing either as "oppression" is limited mindset.

Cheating isn't about monogamy, it's about lack of respect for the other part

You watched too many tik toks and evidently never had a guitar looked by a tech: 200$ is gonna get you at best a couple hours of work and a new set of strings.
Anything else is just an articulate fantasy to hide the fact you got rage baited by a 4chan post like a noob.

Well thanks for being the litmus paper in this argument, if you don't already know there is a nice com in c/guitars, come hang out!

As I already said, a guitar tech can bring it back to its original state for free or a small fee in a matter of minutes. If you refuse to play it instead then its on you.

Yeah probably the wife went to the guitar tech and asked "can you please make this better" and they gave it the classic fret leveling and crowning for a lower action and probably not much more for 200$. But the downvote mob already picked its side in this story so I'm not even gonna bother correcting them.

First let's talk about the name: it comes from the guitar that I harvested the neck from, a Storm ST250 that my father bought me 20 years ago for 100€, and the fact that every piece is also either scrap from my parts box or cheap crap from AliExpress.

This instrument has been built mainly as a proof of concept to try a wiring diagram my delirious mind put together: the most versatile one-pickup guitar.

With the magic of a göldo 3-way superwitch, we have a full humbucker on position 1, a parallel configuration on position 2 for those strat-y inbetween sounds and an humbucker that bypasses the controls on position 3 for a small boost in volume and high frequencies (and an accidental killswitch if you roll down the volume all the way). The wiring looks like a plate of spaghetti, but that's the way to do it .

As an endnote, shout out to the Donlis DH05 pickup I got for 20€: for the price it does an amazing impression of a DiMarzio Super Distortion.

Edit: I took a better picture

 

Apparently Thomann decided to take legal action against Bud Cole's (Fender's CEO) cease and desist campaign.
Interested to see how the situation will evolve.
