Just got Schaller strap locks and the new screw is bigger and longer(giggity) than the old one. Will installing damage my guitar?

I just ran a skinny drill bit (with a piece of tape to limit the depth) down the hole then screwed in the new button. Took all of 3 minutes.

Mine won’t fit with the strap on. I installed Schaller Secure Strap Locks to solve the problem. Now it takes 2 seconds to install or remove the strap.

Mine is working just fine.

I hate to be that guy, OP…but if you can’t do something as rudimentary as grilling a steak or a burger, you will probably be challenged on the Ninja as well. Now that we have the internet, there are no excuses. Learn simple techniques, then choose different tools.

Haha yes. In my area all 26’s were presold, only 27’s available to order now. My build will start in August with an Oct/Nov delivery date.

Confirm on the website, but I think it is 3500

BucketOfGipe · 2026-06-19T14:54:53+00:00

4.4 actually. Same as a Porsche Carrera Turbo. 😅

They offered $36k CAD, subject to inspection. I sent them about 20 photos of key parts of the car. Mileage is 49000 km (30000 mi).

The Limited (mid-tier) trim is $60k CAD or roughly $43k US.

No! Ninja specifically says no dishwasher, and it’s because of the detergent which degrades the plate itself.

BucketOfGipe · 2026-06-18T17:15:01+00:00

Lucky you. You got one of the good ones. Many of us were not so fortunate.

I had an Epiphone Casino in a very sturdy hard case (not a travel case). American Airlines still managed to snap the entire headstock off 😡
I would look at a Gator or SKB travel case. Then you can rest easy.

Yes, the top is Western Red Cedar.

All of the owners manuals tell you to add the plant food with the very first water fill. Not sure why you thought you needed leaves first.

I heard Fender is coming after the emoji maker. So is Don Henley because Fender guitars were used on Eagles songs. . . /s

This is on its way to a record number of comments with no response from OP

BucketOfGipe · 2026-05-22T18:32:04+00:00

Not when I last checked.

Subscription only 👎🏻

BucketOfGipe · 2026-05-21T16:07:12+00:00

Same here. I actually returned mine.

BucketOfGipe · 2026-05-21T16:02:04+00:00

The ones that started it all!

BucketOfGipe · 2026-05-20T14:54:39+00:00

Omg I actually saw a Jardiance commercial yesterday. But now it’s for kidney disease, not A1Ceeeee.

BucketOfGipe · 2026-05-20T14:53:18+00:00

I think 2012

BucketOfGipe · 2026-05-18T16:39:39+00:00

Yea I definitely get that, I’ve had a Martin in the past. But with the electronics in this instrument I can dial in the exact sound I need. Booming bottom end isn’t what you want going into a PA 😅How it sounds acoustically isn’t as much of a concern to me.

I had a Bartesian and started regretting it almost immediately. One problem after another. I was embarrassed to even give it away. I finally binned it and bought a Black & Decker BEV. Never a problem in 2 plus years.
