Of all the Ricks, I am the most... myself.

The pickle means I'm official.

@vwbusguy She's crunchy for sure (still have the lipstick pickup kicking around for another project). I'm actually surprised how "Tele-like" it sounds when I split the humbuckers. I'm not playing a lot of Jerry Reed or Waylon Jennings, so it's okay if it's not perfect.

@rickt137 Yeah, I am definitely an offender of calling splitting tapping. Given the nature of this poll, it's definitely a good distinction to make.

I bet that Tele hits harder than a lipstick!

@vwbusguy Well, I make up for my technical correctness by having defiled my Telecaster. I hear "Get a Les Paul!" a lot. So you win some, you lose some. LOL! 🤘 😅

The image illustrates a guitar chord progression titled "Triad Progression." It features four guitar chord diagrams, each representing a different chord in the progression. The chords are labeled as G/D, Bm/D, Am/C, and D, with corresponding finger positions indicated on the diagrams. The progression is presented against a dark green background, with the title "Triad Progression" prominently displayed in red and white text at the top. The image credits "LaPain Music" at the bottom. The chords are arranged in a sequence, suggesting a musical progression that guitarists can follow.

@vwbusguy Is option #1 supposed to be coil splitting humbuckers? AFAIK, you only tap a single coil.

I did just that - installed splittable humbuckers into my Telecaster, so I can run them akin to single coils when I want, but 99% of the time, I'm chugging with all coils firing....

Sky conditions were poor last night, with fog rolling in and out, and this has a noisy background. But anyway, it's the galaxy NGC 3344 in Leo Minor.

#Saturn's Rings Appear to Disappear

In 1610, Galileo mistook Saturn's rings for "ears" using a new #telescope. By 1612, the rings vanished from view due to #Earth's perspective. This cycle repeats every 15 years with Saturn's seasonal tilt. A photo comparison from Brazil illustrates this: clear rings in 2020, barely visible in 2025.

Today is #InternationalCrowAndRavenAppreciationDay. In the city I live in, I find that they and their cousins (magpies and jays), lean slightly to the obnoxious side; however, I know how intelligent these birds can be, and they definitely have my respect. This Common Raven I came across in the mountains was particularly handsome.

Close-up photo of a common raven, its face in profile looking over its shoulder. It's black feathers almost glisten in the late afternoon light.
