Episode 71 - The Fender Maverick
“What are we gonna do with all these leftover necks and bodies?”
”Well, there’s a bandsaw over there. I’ll think of something…”
And that’s how the Fender Maverick was born. Heartwarming, isn’t it? This guitar plays wonderfully and sounds great. Join us on a journey of discovery, won’t you?
Beverages!
Podcasting is thirsty work; it’s crucial that everyone involved stay hydrated. The following fine beverages contributed to the success of this episode:
Superfan Chris Baugh sent us some Lithuanian Gubernija White Bread Kvass. Made from fermented bread, this non-alcoholic beverage, apparently, is more popular in Russia than Coca-Cola. That’s what The Internet says, anyway…
Ed thinks it tastes like a liquid gingerbread house.
