Last night was the first ride of the Suhr with a mod that was installed on Wednesday: push/push pot to bring in the neck pickup, which gives me the tele bridge/neck combo when the pu selector is in pos1, and all 3 pus when in pos2! Sounds just as honky and funky as I'd hoped!

Edit: Shout out to my man Izzy at #GuitarCenter in Villa Park IL for taking care of me!

Some of the best conversations at #NAMM happen when you're not looking for them. I noticed a shirt that said "I Support #Musicians" and couldn't help but start talking to Michelle Wolff from the Guitar Center Music Foundation.

What followed was a conversation about #music programs being the first to get cut from school budgets. About 150 grant requests every quarter and only 30 getting fulfilled. About kids who might never discover they were meant to play an instrument. About veterans who could find healing through sound but won't get the chance. And about Michelle's own journey—an #opera major whose voice was taken from her by vocal nodules, who had to rebuild her identity, and who never stopped being a musician.

Give it a listen.

P.S. Sean Martin, CISSP and I recently met with Myka Miller, MM, MBA, Executive Director of the Guitar Center Music Foundation. We have some exciting plans to support their work. More soon.
