Week started off very rough.
Surfing accident early Tuesday morning—board hit me in mouth and almost bit off an inch of the end of my tongue. Dangling by threads as set of the day pounded me. that was special.

drove to emergency and doc gave me 14 stitches a bottle of hydrocodone and said i should heal well but take it easy for a week or two.
until then i’m talking weird (my compassionate wife has nicknamed me porky duck) and eating is a real painful drag.

but then this happened today

and for a little while i forgot all about my troubles!!
Thank you Rich and the awesome gang at Tyler Guitars 🙏🙏🥳

my wife knows how long i’ve wanted this mod done to my guitar so she filmed me pulling it out of the case and i made a quick iphone clip playing it for the first time.

legendary Tyler clean tone sounded killer in the room, but wdw dirt sounded weird and fuzzy— still figuring out what switch does what but i’ll work on it!

 
So sorry to hear about that injury! Get Well!

What a beautiful place to call home. Wow. Mad props to you that you still surf and play guitar! We don't stop doing the things we love because we get older - we get older because we stop doing the things we love! Keeper wifey for sure. And a lil' chihuahua to top it all off!!! This is what I pray my life looks like when I (finally) retire. Almost there.

Edit - agree with what others are posting. Beautiful tones with that rig and great playing.

Sorry about your tongue bro, that had to be a bitch...

Man I don't think I've heard a guitar with that level of articulation. Initial clips sound amazing. What a beautiful chorused tone you were getting. Glad you got your axe, huge congrats!!!

How damn sweet is that ? Damn sweet. Supernice.
I had a tongue incident about 14 yrs old. Very painful. Swelling couldn't eat or talk.
Still have the hole.
Semper Fidelis.
 
Hope you heal up well!

That is a very unique guitar! Much congrats and enjoy!
 
What, wen broke da mouth literally ??? Sorry to hear that Braddah, that guitar should make you feel better though...

Here's my request, how bout you re create your "Dark Dumble" clip with that guitar, whatever amp and unleash it here (feel free to post up the OG clip too)

Last hot tip - no stick your tongue out when you're in the barrel hahaha
