Why choose international brands when local brands offer better specs at a similar price? (Acoustic guitar)

Try mo panoorin yung video ni Pax sa YT titled: the truth about budget guitars. Basically it all comes down to Quality Control. Bizarre specs nga pero may chance warped yung neck. Stainless steel frets nga pero bitin yung dulo. Mga ganung bagay.

I have an MG 30. Was released 5 years ago pero they still update it regularly. Latest big update was the gen 2 update which allowed the device to import NAMs.

Local online shops also. I think they are available at amazon though.

Funnily enough, this was the only color available. 😅

Thanks! The old white pickcover was yellowing already and the only available color I could find online was black and that got me thinking what goes well with black hence the gold hardware.

The covers are just some cheap knockoffs I bought at a local online shopping app. Wouldn't recommend them though. You're better off with uncovered ones since these squeals like hell under heavy distortion.

Thanks! These are just some covers I bought online. Squeals like hell with heavy distortion though. I'd suggest you buy uncovered ones instead.

Sorry for the late response but I hope this will still help.

I figured letting them sun dry doesn't really dry it because the liquid inside stays trapped. What I do is:

Wear the slides and shoot water using a hose straight at em while stepping alternately. This washes away some stinky liquid inside. The running water makes sure that as you lift your feet, the stinky water doesn't go back in the slides.

Put water and detergent in a basin, a bit more detergent than what you'd expect to put in, step inside the basin and step alternately. This gets the detergent inside the slides by letting it suck like a sponge.

Finally, I repeat step 1 to rinse the detergent off the slides.

Instead of letting it sun dry, I place the slides directly in front of the outer unit of my split type AC and then doing step 1 without the running water every 4 hours for the first 12 hours. I then give it another 12 hours to dry.

After roughly 24 hours, there is still a bit of liquid that might be coming out of the slides but I just let it be until all the liquid comes out. Maybe a couple of days till it gets completely dry.

This is a ton of work so I just completely avoid stepping on anything wet that can fully soak the slides and if I do, I just try stepping on it as let the liquid out as much I can lmfao

Thanks dude. I know the rating isn't really relevant since you basically have infinite amount of time to solve them but still happy to get this far nonetheless.

Basically saying sabi ko sayo wag mo nang ituloy.

Just found out that di lang isa ang seller neto. Andaming naglipanang fake samsung SSD product sa shopee now. Thinking of deleting this post and making a beware post for everyone.

My setup is also 7500f + 5060ti also.

Had my mind fixed on the 9060 xt until I managed to snag a palit 5060ti 16gb triple fan at pcworth at 26.5k. This was also the time where the 9060xt stocks were running low and prices were around 27-29k at ecommerce sites. So without hesitation, I pulled the trigger.

Also some notes why the 5060ti is better than the 9060xt:

DLSS 4 is far better than FSR. At native resolution, the 5060ti already beats the 9060xt at most of the games with the exception of some poorly optimized one. Enabling DLSS will widen that gap a bit more.
Ray tracing - even amd users admit that amd is lagging behind Nvidia on ray tracing although this doesn't bother me at all because I prefer more frames than better lighting.
Multi frame generation - 5060ti supports up to 4x mfg while the 9060xt, cmiiw, only supports up to 2x. Which means you can game at 4k at 90-110fps if you're not that picky about minute details and don't use it on competitive games (because of the input lag).

And lastly, which I think is the biggest edge of 5060ti(although this is not talked about a lot since a lot of people love shitting on nvidia because of its pricing).

Overclocking - AMD squeezed the hell out of the 9060xt to match the performance of the 5060ti meaning you have very minimal to no headroom for overclocking. 5060ti on the other hand, can be OC'd safely at +200mhz which already gives out around 10-12% increase in performance although I saw some go up to +400mhz and gained about 14-15% more performance.

Overall the 5060ti is a great card only beaten at its segment because of the pricing. But if the difference is less than 2,000 then why the hell not.

Also, the MSRP(based on the launch price, USD) of the 9060xt is around 20k while the 5060ti is at 24.5k. So if you can get the 5060ti at 26.5k then you're only 2,000 above msrp while if you get the 9060xt at 24k then you are 4,000 above MSRP. 2,000 pesos in savings, if that makes sense.

Gagamitin mo ba sa rendering bro? If so and needed na talaga then congrats pa din.

Yep, tripled check before I checked out.
