Non-Sexual Pictures That Still Give You Wood

Like these two badass airplanes that never got to see their full potential...the XB-70 Valyrie and the B-58 Hustler.

I made a model of the B-58 when I was about 10 years old. Really liked that plane! Also remember us bowing out of the SST race with the best one...

lumber

I built models of both of these screamers.(no, not out of wood, LJ). I live near what was a very active air base during the Cold War, and I actually got to see a B-58 on landing approach once. Such an awesome aircraft.

Hustler.

hehheh.... he said "hustler"... hehhehheh.

And what is this "non-sexual" concept you speak of? I'm not familiar with it.

I saw the XB-70 flying once out at Edwards AFB back when I was knee high to a grasshopper. Sweeeeeeeeeet geeeezus what an aircraft! At least it became a prototype for the Concorde.

:yum:

my saiga

MmmmmmHmmmmmm

allright then.

Please tell me those are not your four Gibsons. Are those all J's?

I forgot a couple. I should have been born a boy.

Sorry for the crappy pic of the Impala (I found it on the web). I rebuilt my dad's 409/425 engine, which was only in production for a few months, and it was a pain in the ass to find parts.
I had to make the head gaskets myself, and it was next to impossible to get the other parts. The sodium cooled valves are not easy to find either.
It's still not operational.....yet.

Oh - and the BBQ/Smoker is a Big Green Egg. I want one bad.

Darth Vader's Staff Car

Wolf;
That is a Diablo, isn't it? I love it. I used to dream of owning a Countach... until I heard my dad's take on it. He rode in one, and he said there was enough room on the inside for you, and a pack of cigarettes....one pack only. lol
My dad isn't a big guy, so I thought it was funny.

Sposta be a Countach ... I google imaged for one, all the damn things were red, I want a black one. A countach is kinda like a really sexy pair of shoes. You ain't comfortable, but damn you look good in 'em. (for the record all of my shoes are very comfortable. I do not need special footwear to be sexy.)

It's no less likely than him riding a motorcycle. (My son, a known Star Wars nut, got two of these for his birthday. I, of course, was horrified because it's not authentic equipment from the movies, but he loved it and was especially happy to get two because then he could have them fight each other. :headshake

Hmmm.....I hafta say I like the Impala best. It's so freaking cool!

Bruce just sent me a picture that made me all gushy.

One stop shopping.

Baby, look at those cams!! How much is the let-down? :drool:

You can choose from 65% or 80% letoff. Drool indeed.

Pulse jet-driven hovercraft.

Oh, baby. Look at the glow!

A somewhat more interesting photograph.

Vroom vroom.

Not very practical, but I've always wanted one of these (Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic.)

What about the people without their fingers in their ears?

The loudest robot in the world at 150 decibels. Louder than a cruise missile until it blows up.

I bet I could come up with a reason to build a 2x4 launcher.

Oh dear.

No. Sure as hell wish they were. I'm framming on a Takamine.

I found those axes (all J45's) on this site

You guys familiar with the two on the left?

Jagstangs?

I've played a vintage Rickie bass many times at a friend's house. I would also like one of these...

Nope. I've been told it's like the "Holy Grail" of electric guitars...

This thread has become down right pornographic.


She could be yours for 80 large. 1929 Gibson F5

:D

this is Suposed to be Non sexual Slang !!!

As Griff has correctly pointed out, we jacked that up when all the guitar smut started appearing.

What about NSFW thumbnails of SFW images?

Now that I look at them again, there are no visible pickups on the two axes on the left...why?

Those are Fender Marauders. The designer took the prototype with him when Fender got bought by CBS. It's considered lost. A few were built for production, but they never were sold. They were in the 1965 catalog as the top-of-the-line model, then the catalog was reprinted in Jan '66 without the Marauder. Maybe 2-3 are known to exist out of maybe 10-50 that were built.

Couldn't find any really good links beyond this:

So it *was* basically a Jag body, though. The discussion group you linked to mentioned something about slanted frets. If that is true, then it would have been fairly rare for its time (the normal fret construction of a guitar neck is not mathematically precise, causing intonation to have to be adjusted on a string by string basis to make the scales accurate all the way up the neck on each string. There are entire guitar designs that solve this problem by placing the frets at the appropriate angle to force the fingering to occur in the proper position to deliver the exact right tone).

How could I forget?? My gun!! I could drool over this baby all day and all night.

It's a custom built gun by Jim Cloward - 250 savage necked down to a 6mm (my sisters and I all have this same gun, but we have to make/ reload seperate ammo). It's got Zelenak sights on the rear, and Tiger sights on the front... Jewel trigger (ooooh yeah). The stock is aged walnut, and he made all four of our stocks out of the same piece of wood. It took about three years for him to assemble all of the parts to make us the perfect guns.
Sorry for the terrible pic....

I'm even more woody about the signed Indiana Jones background ;)

while we're on the subject of guitars...

Junior Brown playing his 'guitsteel' contraption.
He says the concept for the instrument came to him in a dream.
And yes, he can play BOTH kinds of music: country & western.

Is there ANY difference?

lol... John Belushi is backflipping in his grave.

western: mostly on the lower part; country: mostly on the upper part.

I was intrigued by the slanted fret thing. I've never seen one. Prob be weird to chord. Lead chops would most likely flow right on IMO. I wonder if there are any modern axes that have the slanted frets? I think I'd prefer fretless. :rolleyes:

Here can be found the complete skinny on such beasts. I've always wanted to try one, but my playing probably isn't precise enough to require such a thing anyway.
