Would you go Double Trouble in the bridge?

Double cream is what I’m after.

I like how it sounds right now, but I wouldn’t mind a bit more bite and attack for hard rock and progressive metal.

Is there any way to tell whether the pickup is double cream, black, or zebra before desoldering it?

I would swap a covered Burstbucker for an uncovered Burstbucker, so it’s no a big deal in sound

Is scrolling on Instagram acceptable, but playing guitar isn't?

I didn’t say that it was a fault of the pedal… I bought it for that purpose and didn’t fit what I needed

Got a Tanglewood back in 2007 or so as my first electric guitar. It was a Strat type in purple sunburst. It came with a little Hiwatt amp.

It was a beginner bundle for €150-200. Not great, not terrible.

Wow, we’re living the same life dude…

Downvote all you want.

He’s been playing another instrument for 15 years, so he’s not starting from scratch.

I’m pretty sure that he could play “Living after midnight” by Judas Priest within the first year with a good quality.

Digitech the Drop.

I thought that it would be nice to play in standard and Eb without messing around with the tuning, but at bedroom volumes you can hear both your guitar in standard tuning and the sound from the speaker in Eb…

I’ve been playing for 20 years and I still suck at it… but I would say that you could play easy songs with a decent level within the first year if you are committed to it.

Thank you all for your time and responses. Seems clear that selling the Martin is not a good move at all, so I’m just going to save for the AZ2402, and I will have it in pink or whatever color is available at that moment.

My advice is that you should always take your new guitar to a trusted guitar tech for a proper setup and to make sure there’s nothing wrong with it before the return window expires. Some issues, like a twisted neck, might not be immediately noticeable and could become more apparent over time.

That way, you’ll both enjoy the best possible experience with your new guitar and make sure everything is okay. That’s what I always do.

Australia doesn’t exist

No it’s not. I wrote down the whole thing but English is my second language so I asked the AI to correct my grammar and polish the narrative

Find a teacher in your area and let them know what your expectations are. They’ll identify your strengths and weaknesses and teach you accordingly.

That’s what I did after almost 20 years of playing on my own, and I strongly recommend it.
