I've been watching this acoustic guitar by Alembic come together over the last 3-4 years...
It is now at Northern Lights Music in NH, and they produced this amazing audio sample:

No video, but here are some disassembly photos I took to verify correct polarity when I reconnected the speakers.
I messed up one connection when removing the old preamp board and had to solder 2 wires to a circuit board for the tweeter. But it sounds great on first power up & I'll use it tonight.

Unboxing upgrades 4 my Fender FR12 today. New horn from Celestion and the Archangel Electronics "V3."
A year ago I thought: this FR12 is actually a pretty cool mod platform.
What a delight to discover I wasn't the only one to think so! A.E. makes a pro-grade drop in preamp replacement!

Are we doing #tbt here?
Here's a promo photo from 1990 of the band I played with back then, called Uncle Buffalo's Urban Mountain Review.
I was 21 years old, and it was my first weekly gig, every Friday in the Chicago Loop at a small dive called Rori's. I played mostly violin and mandolin.

If you want a glimpse of where the US is heading, read "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson (or at least the Wikipedia "plot background.")
Anarcho-capitalism breaks up the US into "franchise-organized quasi-national entities" through aggressive privatization. Crypto destroys the US$ with hyperinflation.

![Plot background
In the 21st century, an unspecified number of years after a worldwide economic collapse, Los Angeles is no longer part of the United States since the federal government has ceded most of its power and territory to private organizations and entrepreneurs.[7] Franchising, individual sovereignty, and private vehicles reign supreme. Mercenary armies compete for national defense contracts, while private security guards preserve the peace in sovereign gated housing developments.[8]: 45 Highway companies compete to attract drivers to their roads,[8]: 7 and all mail delivery is by hired courier.[8]: 306 The remnants of government maintain authority only in isolated compounds, where they do tedious make-work that is, by and large, irrelevant to the society around them.[8]: 176 Much of the world's territory has been carved up into sovereign enclaves known as Franchise-Organized Quasi-National Entities (FOQNEs),[8]: 14 each run by its own big business franchise (such as "Mr. Lee's Greater Hong Kong", or the corporatized American Mafia), or various residential burbclaves (quasi-sovereign gated communities). In this future, American institutions are far different from those in the actual United States at the time the book was published; for example, a for-profit organization, the CIC, has evolved from the CIA's merger with the Library of Congress.[8]: 22](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kerghqppsswjjzphjxwjtwc2/bafkreib7r347oao2jkdubudqxn7fu7gfarcat6ibowojo2pvjkp3njo7h4@jpeg)
