Billy, those are hilarious! “Decoding Esteban”… ROFL

And that pedal… Not sure if you are familiar with the satirical newspaper “The Onion” but this is right on par with something they would do.

It does make me harken back to my early days of learning how to play on what was really crummy equipment. I had an old Harmony electric that was similar in style to a Fender Jazzmaster. My family wasn’t well-off at the time, I was a high schooler and it was a rare thing for me to be able to put new strings on the thing. Invariably I’d break the high E string and would resort to either playing (and tuning it) with 5 strings or I would try to repair the string by rewinding it onto the little saddle ring thingy and hope I had enough leftover to get a good bite on the tuning peg (and pray it held up after tensioning it again!). Also spent a lot of time playing with 13’s on both the B and high E strings. Just have to shake my head at those times… Amazing I didn’t get discouraged and give up on it all!
