The best Guitars ever

 Fender's newest Strats and Teles  may not be as exciting or revolutionary as Chevy's new Corvette (which has been around about the same amount of time), but I'm still incredibly impressed how Fender manages to provide a fresh spin on those electric guitars every few years or so. And they manage to do this without sacrificing the essence of those models too, so they appeal to modern players and vintage purists alike.

The new American Performer series is a great example of how they approach this, providing performance upgrades that expand the tonal versatility of classic models like the Strat, Tele, Jazzmaster and Mustang, while keeping original features that got it right from the beginning.

The American Performer line is true to its name. The guitars are made at Fender's Corona, California, factory and are designed with the needs of gigging guitarists in mind, from playability and versatility to cooler-than-usual styling.

Even better for working musicians in today's challenging industry conditions, the models are all impressively competitively priced, even though they offer a multitude of custom upgrades that most competitors would sell for a pretty penny extra.

Features

Selections for the Stratocaster HSS consist of 3-Color Sunburst, Aubergine (both with rosewood fingerboards), Black and Satin Surf Green (both with maple fingerboards), while the Telecaster comes in Honey Burst, Satin Sonic Blue (both with rosewood fingerboards), Vintage White and the incredibly cool shiny copper Penny (both with maple fingerboards).

The real beauty of these instruments lies deeper than their striking looks. Both feature newly designed Yosemite single-coil pickups that blend Alnico 2, 4 or 5 magnets in various installation positions, which are shellac-dipped (as is the case with many '60s Fender pickups) for open-sounding tone, and wound to provide optimum tone for their respective positions.

The Stratocaster HSS has a Double Tap humbucking pickup at the bridge with a coil-splitting function that is engaged via the lower tone knob's push/pull pot. Both models are equipped with a Greasebucket tone circuit that maintains gain and clarity when you back down the Tele's master tone or the Strat HSS's bridge tone controls.

Playability and performance upgrades to both models include 22 jumbo frets installed on the necks, which have a 'Modern C'-shaped profile, 9.5-inch radius and satin finish. New ClassicGear tuners provide an ultra-accurate 18:1 ratio and super-smooth feel.

Today's best Fender American Performer deals

Purists and perfections will particularly appreciate the elements Fender didn't change. The American Performer Telecaster has a vintage-style 'ashtray' bridge with three brass barrel saddles, which Tele enthusiasts insist is essential for definitive Tele tone.

The American Performer Stratocaster HSS has a six-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge, and the late-'60s/'70s-style oversized headstock is a welcome detail for discriminating tone connoisseurs - just ask Jimi, Ritchie or Yngwie. Both models feature alder bodies as well.

Performance

The tones are ballsy and full-bodied, hitting the amp's front-end with Manny Pacquiao punch and singing with Freddie Mercury sweetness. The coolest aspect about the Strat HSS's pickups is that the output is perfectly balanced between the humbucker's dual-and split-coil settings as well between the full humbucker and middle/neck pickups.

While the jumbo frets certainly measure meatier than typical medium-jumbo frets, they don't feel overly big under the fingertips, providing satisfying fast and smooth action and maintaining body and sustain when pushing bent notes to the limit. The 'Modern C' neck profile is slim but feels substantial and solid in the player's hands. These are some of the most comfortable stock Strat and Tele necks I've ever played.

The overall construction quality is immaculate and flawless. The necks fit super-snug into the body pockets, every screw is perfectly installed and the overall attention to detail is shockingly good for guitars in this price range - and beyond! Whether you're looking for a first Strat or Tele or considering an upgrade, the American Performer series models are very worthy contenders.

·         New Yosemite single-coil pickups are individually voiced to each model and installation position.

·         The Greasebucket tone system maintains clarity and consistent gain no matter where the tone knobs are positioned.

·         The Stratocaster HSS has a DoubleTap humbucking pickup at the bridge with a coil-split function accessible via the lower push/pull tone knob.

·         The Telecaster has a vintage-style 'ashtray' bridge with three brass barrel saddles that deliver classic Tele twang.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Fender's American Performer solidbody guitars offer gigging guitarists incredible value for a US-built instrument with upgraded features and classic essentials that discriminating players demand.

Today: Fender Stratocaster Classic 50s - Yesterday: a Stratocaster copy of the 70s.

Exactly 3 years ago I bought the used 2006 surf green MIM Strat - the copy with Dimarzio pickups was a birthday gift from my parents in 1980. Best gift a teenager could get! I had been dreaming a Stratocaster for ages. But after that copy I bought a PRS. By reselling it 3 years ago I was able to buy the Strat, an amplifier and various pedals. I had lost my job, I could not spend money on that stuff. But I resumed playing and I thought I might have finally deserved a Stratocaster, after all I had been through. So I drove to the luthier shop bringing my parents with me, remembering the day they took me to the shop where, completely stunned and overexcited, I got my first electric guitar, so similar to the one in my teenage dreams.

Almost 40 years ago, with that Di Marzio powered Strat I started on a path I almost abandoned in the 2000s. I stepped again on that path with a real Fender Stratocaster in November 2016. It means a lot to me. It deserves a post.

Pokémon FireRed Nuzlocke [Part 13]

Once again back at the Bill Gaiden, we continue our quest to beat the game without any grinding.

The current take on this problem is to focus on only three members of the team in the final chapter. Plus prayer and possibly lots of X items I haven't bought yet.

I believe in you, my precious team.

...Sort of.

On whatever route I'm on, a Persian shows up. I guess I will try to catch it.

I did catch it.

Its name is Oak.

Rock Smash get, and Oak is gonna learn it for us. As our last real run taught us, Krabby is the best for HMs. Nom nom.

Sap is handling all of the Fighting trainers on this first island here. Seems prudent, given the choices involved. Plus my expectations of Sap. Sap has, by far, the largest role in my eventual plans. My child. You must take your amazing moves. Use them. And sweep all the things.

My Mt. Ember option is a Fearow, and I just can't. I have two things that aren't a Master Ball, I think. Sorry, Fearow. We were not meant to be.

Except Trunk can't run from you. So I might be considering catching you.

Aha, flee accepted.

These are still dopey names.

-sigh- I tried to skip into Three Island, but it looks like you have to talk to NPCs to hit off the Biker Gang part of the Bill Gaiden. This run, having been a shrine to defeatism, didn't bother with talking with most everyone. The cost is island hopping. Much sad. Very annoy.

"I am a video game character and my child is missing. Her name

is Lostelle."

Video games are good.

Okay, Biker Gang subplot. Give me my exp.

GIVE ME MY EXP IN A LESS TRAUMATIZING FASHION POR FAVOR.

Later on the island, we are in the berry forest and encounter a Psyduck. With luck, it will be our box friend in the very near future.

Caught! Its name is Oak.

Don't worry, little girl. I am the protagonist. I will save you.

By running away from the wild Hypno. Because that's what heroes do.

Kid returned, and I think that means. I think I get to go fight Giovanni's Gym.

Delightful.

Oak is level 50, Trunk and Sap are both 49. Bark, should she be required, is level 47.

Not a bad place to be in. Not close enough to feeling safe, but I think this has the potential to go better than Heero's term.

Final badge. Let's go. For added fun, I won't even follow my map of the trainers inside the Gym. I'll just go by guessing based on the trainer type.

Oak is level 52, Sap and Trunk are level 50. Good show, guys.

Aaaaaaand final badge! Magnificent.

Rival, Victory Road, then Elite Four, right?

That sounds doable?

Please?

I'm going to miss not having an Electric type available for the Pidgeot. And for the Gyarados. Acorn, Zaft. Your presence would be so valuable here.

I think I'm going to put Oak in front for that. Rival has enough to respond to Oak that any Sand Attacks can be swapped out. Wanting Oak for two fights in a row probably won't happen. Hopefully.

My amusement is slowly being replaced by existential dread.

Oh, neat. The Pidgeot goes for Wing Attack instead of the awful sand. Thank you, Rival-san's Pidgeot. I hate you and everything, but you're a class act.

Trunk goes in for the Venusaur. It of level 53.

We get through.

I'll actually send Sap out to (hopefully) handle the Gyarados.

Oak back in for the Alakazam. Stays in for the Growlithe.

Bloodless victory.

Hell, though. That is not a confidence boost. The levels keep reminding me how tight this really is, and I'm very short on Type variety. I know my main strategy, which I didn't use here, is going to be massively setting up before anything else, but aaaaaaaaa.

I don't want to go through all of this again. I'm not good enough at the game to reliably improve.

On the side of things I can do, I'm going to teach Trunk Earthquake.

And it looks very much like it makes sense for Oak to learn Ice Beam. He still has Tackle, for crying out loud. There's room for improvement. The only problem is that hey, I still want Shadow Ball for Trunk, and guess what other TM is also a Game Corner thing?

In the spirit of bad things not happening maybe, I'm going to grab those TMs before Victory Road. No point limiting myself. I am also going to look up if I can get the Amulet coin and make some extra money, because the money situation ended up making me sad by the end of Heero and friends.

...

To. the slots.

I need 8500 coins.

Sigh.

SIGH.

170,000, is it?

Actual depiction of life's traumas.

If I want to mess with their moves some more, I'll do it after Victory Road. For now, this works.

Welp, no Amulet Coin for me.

There isn't going to be much typing from here on out. Just picture a lot of screaming and crying. Because that's pretty much what's going on behind the scenes.

...Also I'm going to use Max Repels and the Master Ball on anything I come across. For maximum chance.

The Repel strat didn't work out.

So I throw my Master Ball at a Machop.

Its name is Oak.

And every single time I leave the cave to heal, the switches require me to repeat their process. They fill me with hate. The smaller my team gets, the more often I have to head back to a Pokemon Center for PP aid.

BUT WE MAKE IT.

...

.

Fuck.

What do ya think?

I'm about to spend all my cash, so this is my last chance for move decisions.

I usually like something to know Toxic. Oak's the best candidate for that in terms of an incomplete moveset, but I have a Dragon Claw TM that has similar value and can't be wasted on Trunk or Sap.

I think this works, honestly. Oak for all things turtle, Sap for all things stall, and Trunk for miscellaneous everything. I can adjust after each one I beat. I have some interesting TMs I can play with, but for now, I think this is good.

What I need to think through is what X items I want. Then the rest goes into Full Restores. ...Oh. The X items are cheap, so I just buy a bunch without thinking it through.

Yep.

Elite Four.

Grindlocke, Take 2.

Okay, looking back over my records, I think I'm going to teach Trunk Brick Break over Yawn, use an X Attack, and go for the sweep.

Last chance to back out.

I hate this.

Two X Attacks, because I'm greedy. Dewgong down. It's now Hailing. Have fun countering, Leftovers.

The Cloyster gets to the red with one Brick Break. Lorelei uses a Full Restore. Many stall tactics later, the Cloyster is downed with not much more of a mark on Trunk.

Slowbro next, but Shadow Ball should make that work. The hail stops, too, which is nice.

Yeesh, these things have high Defense. Slowbro's in the red, uses Surf. Trunk is still green, but nearing half steadily. One more Shadow Ball, and the Slowbro's gone. No Full Restore for it.

Lapras.

Brick Break puts it in the red, but it has a Sitrus Berry. I probably knew that from last time, but we're really all about living in the moment, this run.

Lapras leaves Trunk in the high orange, but it's out. Just the Jynx left. Going to spend a turn on a Potion just to keep things stable, then a Shadow Ball should mark the end of this.

And now Trunk is in love with it. In between being put to sleep.

...Okay, fuck you, game. What is Lovely Kiss' accuracy?

..

75????

AND THEN TRUNK WAS FROZEN.

I knew these fights would be a bit of a stall game.

It wasn't supposed to be in this direction.

LOVELY KISS CAN'T KEEP FUCKING HITTING YOU FUCKING AAAAAGH.

This Jynx is going to run out of Ice Punch PP before I get a hit in.

Oh thank fuck.

Would you look at that. It's dead.

Oak's going to be first for Bruno's Onix, so Oak gets a Sitrus Berry for luck. Trunk's healed back to full HP, and. Round two, get ready.

I gotta say, after everything I just went to, the sight of that Onix is a damn relief.

Only with that dealt with, the Hitmonchan's prepped to come out.

Sap's up. Because this is going to take a bunch of switching, I think I'll try to stick with straight Sludge Bombing for as long as I can. Sap's got a better Attack stat than Trunk at the moment (I think), so it shouldn't be too rough.

Yeah, one Sludge Bomb puts Hitmonchan practically in the red, and Sky Uppercut doesn't move Sap anywhere near orange.

?

Hello.

Bruno took out Hitmonchan to put in Onix.

Yeah. Switching. Oak, you're up again.

Bye, Onix. And I'm going to leave Oak in to mop up the Hitmonchan to conserve PP. Bruno Full Restores it, but Surf puts it in the orange, so... eh, good enough. Oak takes an extra hit, but Oak's time in this room is up anyway.

Hitmonlee.

Uh oh.

Also, bullshit, I had just used Minimize and Mega Kick's accuracy sucks starting out, but. primarily. uh oh.

Ummmmmm.

Bad news, Oak.

I am so sorry.

Yeah, so Oak died, and now Oak is out at full health.

X Defend time.

OH SO NOW MEGA KICK CAN MISS, HUH.

Throw an X Special on the pile.

Oak uses up his Sitrus Berry, Bruno uses another Full Restore.

Hitmonlee goes down after far too long, and the Machamp comes out to play.

Surf gets it to deep orange. I'm going to use a Full Restore to be careful.

That there is a partially happy sight.

This, on the other hand...

Sap, I can give you a proper sendoff later, when my brain is doing something besides screaming. Suffice to say, you did nothing wrong, and this game hates me. Thanks for the fun, sorry you didn't get to live longer or for your entire purpose.

I'm also looting your corpse for your Leftovers for Oak.

So Agatha's next, right?

I finally get to see what a Snorlax with Shadow Ball can do about that.

I'm very much hoping the answer is, "something."

Let's dance, grandma.

First out is a level 54 Gengar. It knows Double Team, because this game really doesn't actually want me to be happy. But Shadow Ball hits and gets it into the red. Agatha uses a Full Restore, and the next Shadow Ball actually hits too.

And now Trunk is confused.

Trunk.

Buddy.

Stop hitting yourself.

Fantastic, he does.

...Agatha has a Golbat? Ew. It's level 54 too. It faints semi-easily, and then there was a level 56 Arbok. I'm just gonna spend a second on an X Attack, don't mind me... Then a Full Restore so Trunk doesn't fucking die...

Problems. We have them.

The level 58 Gengar coming out does not solve enough of them. Or any. It's pretty much universally bad, actually.

That sound you hear is the snap of my fragile, innocent, sanity. I use a couple of X Defends instead of waking Trunk up. Then health becomes a slight issue, so you know what, Full Restore time!

Okay, great! Second Gengar dead! All that's left is a level 53 Haunter. For. Reasons of who knows.

Okay.

I have never used the Poke Flute this much in my life.

And then it uses Hypnosis again, and it hits, again, and we do the whole dance over again, as you do.

IN A STUNNING TURN OF EVENTS, HAUNTER CURSING ME PUTS AN END TO ITS FUCKING CURSE, AND EVERYTHING IS IMMEDIATELY BETTER.

NO ONE ASKED YOU, YOU DAMN OLD LADY. YOU AREN'T A GENKAI. YOU'RE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO A GENKAI. FUCK YOU.

Hell, let me think.

Lance.

Dragons.

He has... two Dragonites, one Dragonair, a Charizard, and an Aerodactyl? Maybe?

I'm not banned from looking things up, but it hasn't felt sporting to check up ahead of time. And no matter what, I think the best strategy I have here is to throw Oak in, toss on a ton of X Defends, and pray. So it doesn't really matter what he has.

But Oak's learning Toxic.

As a kid, I always thought Lance was just the coolest. Lance is a bitching name, and he has a dragon theme, and then he has a fucking cape. Top ten video game heroes.

As an adult, I hate Lance so much. Even the dope cape can't spare him.

Oh hey, it's a level 56 Gyarados. With my favorite move. Dragon Rage. That's actually great, and it should feel free to keep using it. Dragon Rage doesn't get critical hits. Yeah, actually, this is perfect. I'm just going to stack Oak with everything and not switch.

All of Dragon Rage's PP later, Toxic can't hit anything apparently, and it's a contest of Biting. Cute.

THEN IT USES HYPER BEAM AND THE HYPER BEAM, NATURALLY, GETS A CRITICAL HIT, AND OAK HAS 15 HP AS HE LANDS THE FINAL BITE TO KILL THE FUCKER.

...Well. The poison kills it. But the feeling is there.

Look, there's the Dragonair.

Look, it's using Outrage.

Look, Outrage got a critical hit.

Look, it's me crying from sheer stress.

Look, it's the miracle of me getting a critical hit for once. It dies.

...Then out comes a second Dragonair.

Level 54s, btw. I forgot. Too many other horrible things were going on.

Oak takes that one out too, then it's the Dragonite.

I think you just need to not die, Oak.

That works.

Aerodactyl last. Level 58.

Surf gets it.

Hate you so much, Lance.

I think the main problem here is that if I open with Oak, the Venusaur pops out, and any preparation I do during the Pidgeot round will vanish. That makes Trunk that more appealing option for an opener.

Pidgeot, Gyarados, Arcanine, Alakazam, Rhydon (?), Venusaur.

If it wouldn't mean the Venusaur coming out, I'd just let Oak handle everything. Maybe I ought to do that anyway, and just accept that I'll be bleeding more X Defends than I want in this fight.

Actually, wait.

Okay, no... I don't think that's a good move. I was thinking I could teach Oak Calm Mind for some extra boosting, and it's not a bad thought, but.

...Actually, yeah?

Gyarados and Arcanine both have Intimidate, but Oak has Special Attack as its primaries. If I use up some X Defends on the Pidgeot to leave room for Calm Mind... the only problem would be if the Pidgeot has Whirlwind. But if it did, that would be a separate issue anyway. I can't smash through without setup.

Max Calm Minding should make it possible for Oak to survive long enough to nail the Venusaur with Ice Beam. Barring critical hit problems. That limits the pain of removing Bite, too. If Oak's Special is all maxed, the particular move matters less.

Done, do it.

Oh.

NEVER MIND. Blastoise doesn't learn it. Damn.

I think I'm thinking too hard. I'll let Oak take the Pidgeot, then Trunk can set up against the Venusaur, then I'll just let the nightmare of switching back and for be what it will. I guess. ...

How fast is Venusaur?

Faster than Blastoise, and my Blastoise has a nature impairing Speed.

Well, I can already feel how badly this is about to go.

Sorry in advance, Oak.

Hey.

So the Pidgeot is level 59.

And it still knows Sand-Attack.

AND WHIRLWIND, OKAY.

Sorry, little gal. This one wasn't wholly my fault.

Trunk's going out. If I can't have Oak kill all the things, we'll just. Yeah.

Featherdance. Featherdance, Whirlwind, Sand-Attack, and Aerial Ace. Fuck this thing, tbqh.

Alakazam's next.

Featherdance really can't stand, and the Sand-Attack severely impacts Trunk's effectiveness as well.

Ooooooh I'm not going to like myself for what I do next.

Dig like your life depends on it, girl, because it does because I am awful.

Level 57 Alakazam v level 47 Dugtrio.

But my kid's faster. All those EVs were good for something. Bark dodges a Psychic, and since Alakazam chose Future Sight, hopefully her next Dig will spare her that as well. Too stressed. Can't count.

Okay, how bad...

She lived.

Bark, I do not deserve you.

You did so good, Bark. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Oak out to hopefully bait the Venusaur into showing up.

Alakazam's Psychic packs a punch, but still a green one, and Oak's Bite settles the matter.

Yes, the Venusaur is coming out.

The. Level 63 Venusaur. Hell.

And Earthquake isn't super effective like I thought/hoped.

Two Growths, and Sunny Day. Oh fuck this can't end well.

But Body Slam paralyzed it? So maybe?

Trunk outspeeds it.

It's dead.

Oak swaps in on Rhydon because Trunk is going to be done the second he's up against the Intimidate friends, so I need some time to set Oak up for the sweep.

It's level 59.

This should be okay.

Sunlight faded. Want to use a Full Restore to heal up Oak in case of critical hits.

A couple of X Specials.

Should be good to go.

Rhydon down. Gyarados coming out. It's level 59. It uses Hydro Pump, thankfully it doesn't do much. Oak uses Toxic, and it actually hits.

Gyarados fainted.

Arcanine is up. Level 61. Need to Full Restore for caution. It uses Flamethrower. Doesn't move Oak out of the green. Uses Flamethrower again, since it's faster.

Oak uses Surf.

Oh.

Oh.

This. This was what this was all for, in the end.

I win.

Holy heck I win.

Pidgey-Oak, Krabby-Oak... you guys did great. Thanks. ...Many, many apologies.

Sap, we never got to see you shine the way I meant you to, but you were a valued member of the team, and made a lot of things so much simpler. If nothing else, you were an inspiration to try things a little more cerebrally, and that was the only approach that was going to make a dent.

Bark...

Bark. You were the linchpin. I brought you back into a fight you had to rely on luck for, and you brought in so much of that and just... I wish it made sense to use you more.

Oak.

Trunk.

You did it.

You really did it.

I'M DONE.

MANY FAILURES, MANY SADNESSES LATER. IT'S DONE. IT IS FINISHED. IT IS WON.

HEERO. PO. SPRINKLE. ZAFT. ALLENBY.

OAK AND TRUNK STAND ON THE BONES OF YOUR PROGRESS. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

I AM NEVER DOING THIS TO MYSELF AGAIN.

Though I might come back to another Nuzlocke, in a while. Not now. Definitely not now. But except for this being horrific, it was a lot of taxing fun. So I'm sure I'll come up with something else to do. Maybe not in this format. I've been trying to learn how to make Twitch do stuff, and playing and talking takes less time than playing and typing.

Who knows.

For now, though, it's over. Thank you to anyone who's read these.
