9 volt battery prices are stupid
The main reason people buy 9V batteries are for smoke alarms. This has been the way of things for what, 40 years now?
In guitar and bass player circles, the 9 volt is used for pedal effects (a lot of BOSS pedals use a 9V directly under the footswitch), acoustic-electric guitars with a preamp and active electric bass guitars.
Regardless of where you use the 9 volt battery, there's basically only one rule you need to follow so you don't get ripped off with these things.
This is an absolutely outstanding way to get into a very proper Fender Stratocaster HSS, no question about it. And yeah, I had to post this one because it's too good of a deal to pass up.
This guitar did cost 4 figures to get it, but at the moment, the Fender JV Modified '50s Stratocaster HSS can be had in the 3's.
The Garmin DriveSmart 65 is still a popular model at the time I write this. I use a 66 model personally, but the 65 is still really nice. People like the 7" screen (technically 6.95"), love the legibility as it's really easy to read, love the screen brightness, the voice control, the traffic reporting, and so on...
...but WOW, are people ridiculously stupid when it comes to the operation and care of this thing because they keep burning them up.
I'm going to list off the stupid things people do with this that cause overheating and how to prevent it from ever happening.
Nobody my age should be drinking this stuff.
My energy drink of choice was Monster Lo-Carb. I liked the taste, and it is truly low on Calories at under 50 per can.
I started drinking Lo-Carb years ago in my 30s and didn't stop until recently because I finally found a substitute that actually works for me.
Oh, do you have to pay a pretty penny just to get this.
Take a look at the Fender 70th Anniversary Ultra Stratocaster HSS. It's expensive, and it only comes in one color. That color is called Amethyst.
Actual amethyst is quartz with a violet color to it. And yeah, I think Fender did translate that to a finish fairly well. The color does "move" as far as I can tell and definitely looks like something upscale. And yes, this is the kind of finish that does change color depending on how you look at it.
Is this guitar all about the paint? Of course not, and there's certainly more to it.
