![]() ![]() Since this was part of the Strat Plus lineup, they had most of the features of the Strat Plus, such a roller nut, Lace Sensor pickups, locking tuners, Schaller strap locks, and a 2-point american bridge. And while this model was introduced in 1990, some carry an E9 serial number. I am thinking that they must have had the plates in making or it was a cool afterthought. All Ultras will say "Ultra" on the neck plate except for some of the very first produced in 1990. They were introduced in 1990 and Fender ended production in 1998. Bridge.Fender Stratocaster Ultra was the "crowning act" of the Strat Plus series and was their highest end production model, just under the Custom Shop guitars. Offered in a neck/mid, or a hot bridge variation ~ 6.0k neck/mid, 13.2. Lace Sensor Hot Gold: A modern take on 60's vintage classic sound with a full bottom end, singing midrange, & high-end sparkle.Designed for bridge position and produces a P-90-type tone when used in the neck. A cross between our Burgundy and Blue Sensor. Lace Sensor Purple: Hot overwound single coil tone.Lace Sensor Emerald: Get that Texas-inspired tone and twang done right… without the all that noise! Excellent for all Country applications, and really sings in the neck position.If heat is what you crave, Red is what you need. Perfect for the bridge position when fat, punch humbucking output is required. Lace Sensor Red: The hottest output of our Sensor Series.Equally at home in Jazz, or Rock applications in a neck or bridge position. Lace Sensor Blue: Increased output from our standard Sensors, with a warmer 50's humbucking sound in a single coil configuration.We recommend it for the Bridge position due to its slightly fatter tone over our regular Sensors. Lace Sensor Burgundy: Stay classy with this Sensor.This Sensor is best suited as a Jazz & Blues neck pickup or for thicker tone, use it as a middle, or bridge. Lace Sensor Light Blue : Warm & Punchy.This is the ultimate middle position pickup ~ 7.1k Lace Sensor Silver: A fat 70's single coil sound with slightly increased output and more midrange than our Gold Sensors.This is the one that started it all! ~ 5.8k Well rounded and good for any position or style. Lace Sensor Gold: A classic 50's Style single coil sound with a classic bell tone.String distance from the pickup, fretted at 21 st fret: Start with these measurements and adjust height to preference. These measurements are good for any of our pickups. The patented Lace Micro Combs replace traditional bobbins, yielding a wider tonal range and better string balance than traditional pickups.įor Optimal Tone: Use our suggested pickup heights. The Lace Sensor family has a unique radiant Field Barrier system that surrounds both the coil and magnets, reducing annoying 60-cycle hum. Red Sensors are perfect for the bridge position with a fat and punchy Humbucker sound. The Red/Red Dually Lace Sensor Pickup - Our most rocking and hottest output electric guitar pickup available in the Sensor Pickups line. The Silver Lace Sensor Pickup - Also available in Reverse Wind-Reverse Polarity! Silver Sensors are fat 70's single coil sound with increased output and more mid-range. The Blue Lace Sensor Pickup - Slightly increased output with the warmer 50's humbucking sound in a single coil configuration. The Dually itself can still be wired for its proprietary "3-in-1" mode of operation which will give you more versatility than you've ever had in your guitar. You still get vintage humbucker tones in the neck and fat single coil tones in the middle, but you now have a the searing hot lead tones coming from the bridge slot that only a Red/Red Dually from Lace can provide. The Plus Ultra Pack takes the concept of our Value Pack and takes it one step further, and adapts it to guitars with an "S-S-H' pickup configuration. ![]() ![]() ![]() The thread used is heavy-duty cotton, coated in wax to provide even more waterproofing. Workers apply rubber cement to set the two pieces in place and increase watertightness, then use a three-needle machine to triple-stitch the two pieces together. This happened to 90 of Bean’s first 100 boots, but the process has come a long way since then. Vamping, simply put, is the attachment of the leather upper to the rubber bottom, and as Leon Leonwood Bean himself learned while making his original 100 boots, if you get it wrong, the whole thing falls apart. While stitching and cutting make up a significant portion of the manufacturing process, the shoe’s vamping is a pivotal step. If you’re just tromping around the city, go for the Bean Boots. Simply put, if you’re going to be using your boots for their stated purpose, get the Maine Hunting Shoe. Meanwhile, the Bean Boot is an updated version of the Maine Hunting Shoe for the city, with a harder sole that can better endure pavement. The Maine Hunting Shoe has a softer sole for feeling the forest floor, and has darker leathers and burnished hardware to avoid reflecting light. Though often used as interchangeable terms, there is a difference between the Maine Hunting Shoe and Bean Boot. What’s the Difference Between the Maine Hunting Shoe and Bean Boot? The new machines and the Brunswick factory’s skilled workers will operate in tandem. Operations manager Royce Haines assured us that workers will not be replaced. But don’t think this is the end of handmade boots - some steps are too complicated for computer-controlled machines. While L.L.Bean has traditionally hand-cut and hand-stitched all of its boots, computer-operated machines are able to complete these tasks much more quickly. To combat future shortages, and to fulfill backlogged orders, L.L.Bean has seen some hefty changes to their manufacturing process which, for starters, includes hiring new people and adding a third shift that has helped keep a steady flow of new boots coming out of the factory. L.L.Bean’s Boots have increased in demand recently, and 2014’s Christmas shopping season saw a shortage in L.L.Bean’s inventory by a staggering 100,000 boots. Half a million pairs is also a lofty figure compared to previous years of production. While L.L.Bean manufactures and sells a variety of outdoor goods, L.L.Bean’s boots are the brand’s most notorious product. Considering L.L.Bean’s projected output for 2015 is around half a million pairs of boots, the efficient use of space is impressive. Because L.L.Bean uses the Brunswick factory for a variety of other operations - namely home goods, tote bags and custom embroidery - the boot manufacturing is concentrated at the center of the factory and takes up a surprisingly small amount of space about a third of the overall factory. ![]() Today, L.L.Bean manufactures the Bean Boot in Brunswick, Maine, about half an hour north of Portland. While L.L.Bean manufactures and sells a variety of outdoor goods (everything from flannel to dog beds) L.L.Bean’s boots remain the brand’s most ubiquitous product. The result was the iconically two-toned Maine Hunting Shoe, worn today by both the hip and the rugged. ![]() The idea was this: to keep his feet dry and toasty, he would build a boot where the lower half was made from rubber and attach it to a leather upper. Bean was an avid outdoorsman and hunter who - tired of having cold, wet feet - decided to create his own boot that would actually keep the elements away from his extremities. Leon Leonwood Bean founded L.L.Bean in 1912. And one of the largest shoemaking operations still in Maine is L.L.Bean - a brand synonymous with the rocky coast and rugged woodland. Quoddy’s handsome moc toe footwear is put together in Lewiston. New Balance manufactures its popular US574 model in Norridgewock. In some respects that may be true, but Maine is still home to a thriving shoemaking industry. Logic would dictate that in the modern era of mass production and outsourcing, Maine’s bustling shoe industry would take a major hit. Shoemaking is an integral part of Maine’s identity, and many of America’s most revered shoemakers have - at one point or another - cobbled together a pair of shoes or boots in the New England state. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While good looks are undeniably important, you’ll want your new home to feel comfortable and pleasant to be inside too.

Again, PIA has way more to boast about than most of its rivals. It's important for a VPN to show transparency-to offer real evidence that it's living up to its promises. With PIA, however, nothing gets sent unless you head into the settings panel and enable the feature yourself (it's the 'Help improve PIA' option in the Help area, if you're curious). Some turn this on by default, with the VPN presumably hoping users never realize what's happening. The best providers also prove that they respect your privacy, and plenty of VPNs have the option to send anonymous troubleshooting data back to the company. Private Internet Access managed to protect all of our data from DNS leakage in the tests we performed (Image credit: Private Internet Access) Private Internet Access says that as long as you purchased your new account more than three months after the last refund, you're always eligible for another.

There's a free 7-day trial for mobile users and you're also covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee-so, you'll have plenty of opportunity to try the service for yourself, in your own time, without risking a penny. You can pay for PIA via Bitcoin if you're looking for extra privacy, by card or PayPal, or take your pick of another method depending on your region ( Amazon Pay is supported in the US, for instance). ![]() Pricing for a dedicated IP is reasonable at $5 a month, $4.25 on the one-year plan, and $2.50 over three years. NordVPN is significantly more expensive at $8.99 billed monthly or $5.39 on its annual plan, and Ivacy undercuts everyone at just $2.41 a month billed annually, $1.99 over two years. However, using the same IP also means there's more chance of being recognized by websites, so it's not an ideal option for everyone. These give you the same IP address every time you log on and, because no one else shares it, you're less likely to find yourself on a block list due to someone else's dodgy activities. PIA offers dedicated IPs in Australia, Canada, Germany, Singapore, the UK, and the US, and recently added Japan and Switzerland to the list. The Private Internet Access monthly plan is fair value at $11.95. The annual plan is cheaper than most at a low $3.33 a month, but opt for the three-year plan and this drops to just $2.03. Putting that into perspective, Hotspot Shield's Premium plan costs $95.99 for one year of protection PIA only asks $79 for your first three.

The audiobook narrators Petrea Burchard and Tim Campbell made this a memorable listen with their range of voicing skills. Less telling and more showing in a story is always the best choice. One concern I did have is how the author uses her characters to relay information through a narrative rather than focusing on her creative writing skills. At certain points it turns dark and it's a constant mixture of emotions, possibilities, and outcomes. The goodness and safeness of found family vs the darkness of a black heart filled with revenge, disguised as love. It does take time for the author to introduce all the characters and to fully understand where this story is headed but it's worth it. I was glad to also have a physical ARC which I relied on to keep track of who was where and when. I found the audio (ALC) confusing in the beginning with the timelines switching back and forth. The First Bright Thing is set in the year 1926 with multiple time-jumps from 1914 to 1945, always returning to 1926. It's best for you to discover this for yourself.
