Woohoo! My hosting is down!

posted by TheBuddha on Guitar

I should probably move to a VPS, but I really don’t want to. I have enough admin overhead already.

And, I haven’t even opened up a support ticket with the hosting company. I’m not gonna, either. Nope…

Don’t care. I am gonna kind of take today off. That seems like a reasonable idea until they fix it. Someone else will surely send them a support ticket. It’s a shared server and Labor Day weekend. It can stay down all the way until Tuesday, I don’t mind.

But, I figure I’ll at least write something.

So, here’s something…

In yesterday’s post, I included an image of some Stella guitar made in Russia. That got me thinking…

There are guitar models I don’t particularly care for and some that I think aren’t worth the money – with sometimes $0.00 being too great an investment. (If there’s one thing I have besides words, it’s an opinion!)

But, what do other people think is the worst guitar ever made?

I then went on a journey to see what the ‘net had to tell me they felt were the worst guitars ever made for production. I saw a bunch of opinions and no agreement.

Their choices range from Walmart to brands I’ve never even heard of and they didn’t tell me where I could get one. I even saw someone claim there was no such thing as a shitty guitar! (They’re wrong!)

So, what I found was this thread – and it’s glorious. I’m just gonna share that with you today and call it good.

Umm… Until next time?

As you can guess, my web hosting company has done something stupid. I’m not sure what – but I know it’s not my doing. It says there’s a disk that’s full and it’s shared hosting, so there’s not much I can do to change this. I should probably move to a VPS, but I really don’t want to.

Personally I dislike the really cheap Fender Squires.

Hmm... Have you played one yet?

'Cause, that's a pretty legitimate gripe! There's also counterfeit Fenders made in Mexico. A common name for them is a MexiStrat. They are generally worse than Squires!

I had one as a kid. I remember everything above the 10th-12th fret sounding extremely dull or requiring you to press down with the force of 1000 suns to get it to play the correct note.

Yeah, they're not very good. In the price range there are Epiphones!

I did see someone claim the Epiphone LP100 was the worst guitar. It's not that bad. They're playable and have reasonable (usually) characteristics.

Woohoo! My hosting is down!
