New Pickups for Eart

Got my Eart back from the shop last week. Stock pickups were fine, but I wanted something different. I asked Ted Vig, a MN based luthier and pickup maker to make me a set of something closer to the Danny Gatton Tele rails. These pickups are incredible. I really should do a video demoing them. Might be my favorites. Incredibly versatile. Great super clean, or super dirty or drenched in effects and everywhere in between. Took this from being a good guitar to a great guitar.

Dr T’Ana theory

I was rewatching Lower Decks and something occurred to me. There is an episode where T’Ana is challenged on her treatments because she never takes into account the difference in pain tolerance between her species (Caitain) and the others on board. I don’t recall this being a feature in TAS or any other time they have been featured.

My theory is that because LD is a cartoon and T’Ana is a cartoon cat, that they made that feature an homage to other cartoon cats. Think Tom from Tom & Jerry getting smashed into an accordion and then ends up fine. Or Sylvester falling off a building, etc.

Curious to know what y’all think. Am I onto something or am I getting too deep?
