Fender Fat Strat. All the classic tone of a normal strat in the first two pickups, all the crunch of the humbucker at the bridge.
This isn't a question at all it is a thank you GuitarMan (I found a lot of comfort in your post) to you and the rest of TKP family for all your kind words on one of the most difficult days of my life when I posted this thread.....

I never really had a chance to properly thank everyone so I wanted to take this opportunity to to do so. I know its a year and a half later but with the season right around the corner and seeing this thread it just hit me and I thought I should thank everyone.
What is your go-to guitar?
Doing some snooping!
Nina. The woman is a champion.
A chuckton.
Not since the economy crashed.

Finals week during fall semester junior year was rough as hell. I had three exams within 48 hours, which means I could have moved one, but I said "screw it" and dove in headfirst. Aced them all. The last was general biochemistry (BCHM 4115), which was one of the hardest classes of my life. It's probably one of the hardest classes at Tech, period. I think I totaled about 8 hours of sleep during the three days encompassing those exams.
The other time that comes to mind was the week before my preliminary exam in grad school. I had to prepare a short talk (~15 minutes) on my research proposal and then submit to a couple hours of questions. Those questions can be about anything. The dissertation committee uses the prelim to determine where a grad student's limit is. How far can you push before you finally tap out. It gives them a sense of your potential as a researcher and ability to think quickly. They literally can ask you about anything, but mercifully, I had a great and supportive committee who only asked me biology, chemistry, and biochemistry questions. A couple of hours later, I had passed. But the studying for that prelim was killer. Maybe a few hours of sleep each night for a week, but I had also been preparing for about 3 months beforehand.
Who is your favorite Fuller?
I want to be a university professor. It really is a path that makes you question your choices and sanity, but I hope it will be worth it. You have to fight every day to convince others that your research works and you have to somehow convince enough people in high places to fund the work. And you have to keep that up for the rest of your life. Oh hell, now I need another bourbon...
English muffins. I ate one every day for breakfast for most of high school.

Does Sara still sell seashells by the sea shore, and does Peter Piper still pick a peck of pickled peppers?
I don't know, but the one with a third foot growing out of one of its legs down by the Duck Pond sure as hell has a hard time getting around.
Probably squirrel.

Marry, fuck, kill
Rich Rod, Lane Kiffin, Jim Harbaugh
What's the longest you've gone without sleep / lack of sleep in pursuit of academic achievement? And what was it you were working on?
Do you have any pets/will you post pictures of said pets?
EDIT: This is a shameless attempt to get cute animal pictures on TKP
I think for the size of the alumni and fan base we have it will be a good turnout. But it's not worth the time for us to go to a game where you can't see the players numbers, the football or any details.
What do you plan to do with your degree long term?
Biscuits or English muffins?
Does a one legged duck swim in circles?
I used to have an American fat strat that was pretty rad. But alas, I am a Tele guy at heart.
