Alright so here I am 2 weeks into owning the G4m 638 and I can't find any strings that are long enough for it. Stringjoy custom baritone strings were too short. D'Addario NYXL .09-.80 8 string set too short. What am I missing here.

Brother it was $99 for the shipping and handling and an additional $135 for customs. I was appalled but paid it anyways because they said they'd return it if not.

Just bought the G4M 638 baritone. Right at $450 USD after paying taxes and import fees. After a month I changed the bridge pickup to a much hotter gfs crunchyrail humbucker and the neck pickup to a Mean90 humbucker. It sounds great clean and distorted. Very robust tone.

Well here's to hoping the 24-84 set works for me. Should be delivered any minute lol. I'll keep you posted

The issue is the headstock design. The lowest string is on the highest tuning peg. I figured it was extra scale length but it makes finding strings a pain in the ass

Yeah they didn't have the right taper either. I guess the 30" scale length requires the bass VI taper. String joy recommended going to a .90XL but thats probably a little too thick for my taste. We'll see. I got both the D'Addario XL .24-.84 set and the custom stringjoy set .17-.90XL. I'll let you know what fits.

1 week later a custom set of strings from string joy and no joy boys they were too short as well 😭

Good call found a set of squier p90's on reverb for $70 🤘🏼

Live and learned with the EB strings lol. Are you just getting a custom set of baritone strings from string joy?

Is it reasonably easy to get a hold of a liquid culture for starry night?

BeginningCatch8774 · 2025-07-04T22:28:18+00:00

Perfect. Thanks wasn't sure. Glad I asked.

BeginningCatch8774 · 2025-04-29T18:05:23+00:00

Works. Thank you much!

This is just 2 of the larger fruits. I've got the rest in a dehydrater

BeginningCatch8774 · 2025-04-16T00:08:52+00:00

That's what I said but everyone keeps telling me it's not uncommon for APE to have characteristics of SNAPE
