If you find an injured owl:

Note your exact location so the owl can be released back where it came from. Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitation specialist to get correct advice and immediate assistance.

Minimize stress for the owl. If you can catch it, toss a towel or sweater over it and get it in a cardboard box or pet carrier. It should have room to be comfortable but not so much it can panic and injure itself. If you can’t catch it, keep people and animals away until help can come.

Do not give food or water! If you feed them the wrong thing or give them water improperly, you can accidentally kill them. It can also cause problems if they require anesthesia once help arrives, complicating procedures and costing valuable time.

If it is a baby owl, and it looks safe and uninjured, leave it be. Time on the ground is part of their growing up. They can fly to some extent and climb trees. If animals or people are nearby, put it up on a branch so it’s safe. If it’s injured, follow the above advice.

For more detailed help, see the OwlPages Rescue page.

Yeah I guess that’s right, but they fit the overall look at least for the natural finish.

Here’s a pic showing the frets-on-neck approach:

Yeah maple fretboards for me. Because Jimi. Although he didn’t really care afaik, it just looked the coolest.

The neck-tilt adjustment was in the heel in the neck plate and made it super easy to get the action you wanted without futzing with saddles and the truss rod

In later years they made the truss rod as easily accessible

Both of these features look cool!

I like how both seem simpler than the common ways of dealing with these 2 adjustments.

I do enjoy some natural finish maple. I think maple fretboards make the guitar stand out a bit more since it's a brighter color. The worn in ones look like they've got stories too, which I like. Maple's just got character that the other fretboards don't seem to get.

I don't even know how it got on my feed, but I've been watching a ton of videos from the NirvanaGuitars YouTube channel about the history of all of Kurt's guitars. Now those things have character! Even if they were only around for a couple weeks, they all seemed to live hard lives and are very distinct and personalized instruments even though they all would have been considered junky at the time. That's much more exciting to me than some expensive off the shelf guitar.

Well now i have to check those out!

I've thoroughly enjoyed everything I've seen on that channel, and before I started watching him I would have said it wasn't my thing. His guitar histories and recreations, and also his this album but with this other one's tone or the alternate what-if Unplugged setlists are awesome.
