Wow, that's a huge time difference, it's 7:27 over here.
to make it clear, you dudes don't use it so if i said 3:25 would you have got straight to am or pm? plus, like i've said to others, we tend to use 12hr in conversation and 24hr in more, i dunno "official" things.
right on. 24 hour, black tie, 12 hour, Hawaiian shirt day.
i still say this guitar is neat. 450 for a custom designed american guitar that isnt instantly identifiable as complete ass upon observation is really something. the fact that it impressed anyone at all in any way is something.

i think you misunderstand the difference between society and culture.
the "complex whole" is the sum of its parts, and no more. if there is a common thread in a culture, it is fair to refer to that thread when referencing the culture. this has always been true and i can't believe it is even being argued here. who hasnt heard of hip hop culture? how is that different? how about beat culture? or hippy culture? why are those fair generalisations but not jazz? what about all that art created out of the socialization of all those people in that particular subset? all those associations and contributions. thats what makes up a culture.
You didn't say "jazz culture", you said "other cultures" which could have meant absolutely anything. Also, society creates culture. If you just meant "jazz culture" then fine, but it's not what you said.
jazz culture falls under the umbrella of "other" for most. i apologise if that wasn't enough clarification for you. also, jazz doesnt need to create a society to create a culture, so im not sure what your point was about societies being based around jazz.
if im talking about guitars being made for other cultures, it should be obvious that i dont mean "absolutely anything," but instead other cultures of guitar players. seriously. the conversation only got generalised when zaphod jumped my shit for using the word culture.
i apologise that my comment created such a stink. i only intended to make an observation about our re-appropriation of guitars designed for other kinds of players/musics.
You're totally mixing up and confusing everything I'm saying and creating utter bollocks with it. Good day, sir.
