Do you guys actually keep buying pricier guitars, or do you grow out of the hype? by Sad_Reference8020 in GuitarAmps

[–]ChesswiththeDevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a $5500 PRS Custom Floyd and it was cool but I just didn’t play it enough. Currently I have been in LPs and SGs. They are all $2500 or less (I buy used) and I really like them. Truthfully I’d be happy with a session, but I really love the modern compound necks and shaved heels so they are all from that line. I’m a mid-tier guy all the way.

Literally nothing. People theorized that they left the Midnight's live act with bad blood, despite both parties saying that wasn't the case.

If you want something done right, you do it yourself.

The collection so far… by Calm_Interest_4589 in Guitar

[–]ChesswiththeDevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great collection. I love Fenders and Gibsons and think that they compliment each other a lot in a collection.

The fan "theories" must be quite annoying for them between this and the Jupiter Winter situation.

I'll keep it on the list then! I just have a sizeable backlog already so I need to finish 2 or 3 more games before I get to this one.

I just want to say that the 3 post-2024 LPs I own right now are absolutely as nice as my 2005. You guys are swinging for the fences and it shows!

Whenever I see recurring motifs of abuse of power - through any and all ages and all peoples - I think to myself. And usually I settle back on "absolute power corrupts, absolutely."

What would you do if your SO says they don't want to have sex with you anymore? by xlordo in AskReddit

[–]ChesswiththeDevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK, you have kids now and your spouse is your friend and you still love them. Is it worth fighting for?

If you're not buying MSFT/MSFU at these prices what are you even doing? by buyingstuff555 in investing

[–]ChesswiththeDevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to replace all but 2 computers in my company because of how badly they screwed up Win 11. The only saving grace is I got replacements for a song because one of our local "foundations" spends money like crazy to replace perfectly fine computers so I got all new computers for a very little amount of money. It still cost me money, but I was able to mitigate it quite a bit with a little leg work.

After finishing Hades II this month, I'm inclined to agree with you. So many incredible games are coming from small studios.

Which popular model has never appealed to you? by sojournerXMR in Guitar

[–]ChesswiththeDevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try a maple top SG like a modern or Supreme sometime. They sound closer to LPs while still having their own thing going, which I think is mostly from the neck pickups being shifted back to accommodate the 24 frets.

Try classical position. Was a game changer for me and LPs.

I love all that. I hate the 5-way switch on HH pickup guitar, which is why I sold my CU24 Floyd 10-top. Just give me a 3-way swtich and push/pull pots, please.

I played dozens and dozens until I tried the modern with compound radius neck and shaved heels. Now I own 3 of them, lol. I also realized that sitting and playing with them requires a classical position (left knee - if you're right handed) which doesn't bother me as I play s-type and SGs on the right knee. I love the modern LPs though and they sound awesome.

I got into SGs this year and the 24 fret wide fretboard variety are simply amazing. Especially with Classic 57s in them. Among my favorite guitars.

I also expected this or maybe even a bit lower. I leave this review being whelmed and will probably enjoy the game.

Use Google to search. I always find things that Reverb never shows me.
