And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Modern guitar w/ vintage appointments. The 'TV' stands for 'television'. Gibson originally used the designation guitars with a black pickguard and a finish color which I think of as being about the color a greyish banana pudding, In the era of b/w television, it was thought to show off the guitar better than any other color. Dusenberg uses the TV moniker because the fixtures -tuners, vibrato, bridge, etc.... evoke the aesthetics of 50's television sets. I'd love to play one.
I had to pick up "color corrected" products for TeeVee commercial use in the day. I friend's father was an on-air announcer at NBC in the Three-Network days, he would take home color correct for B&W cakes, etc used in live commercials, a treat for his children.
That's quite a switch. Wondering about the thinking behind it.
ReplyDeleteTasty!
ReplyDeleteDusenburg Starplayer TV, the switch is for the pickup selection. Artdeco style.
