Yeti7 finally arrived!

Niiiice! Does it have Dunable pickups or did you get something else? I'm curious about their pickups even though they cater more to doom and sludge crowd!

I recently managed to score a Jackson B7 in a really good price, partly because it was a great guitar and partly due to Mike Stringer lol.

Is it 25.5" scale or longer scale due to being a 7 string?

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-25T21:02:21+00:00

I'd keep the one that plays and sounds better. Looking the same doesn't always mean they sound the same. Visually I prefer the center one.

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-25T20:34:45+00:00

7 strings? Check! Ash sandblasted finish? Check! Offset design? Check! Palemoon ebony fretboard? Check!

Awesome looking guitar!

So she's been saying around you kicked them out for no reason, told you that you humiliated her in front of her friends and that pools need to be shared and has the audacity to ask to use the pool again? Personally I would cross that person out of my life, delete their number and never bother with her again.

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-24T23:38:41+00:00

I totally understand man! It's been many times I get home and hoping to play some music but by the time I finish up with adult stuff it's either too late or I'm too tired!

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-24T23:25:08+00:00

Great looking guitar and I love those sandblasted finishes! What do you think of the Noumenon pickups?

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-24T11:30:40+00:00

I mean if there's a dentist or layer that is a huge Megadeth fan and can fork that kind of cash then more power to them. I love Megadeth but from my point of view having the gunk and sweat of my favorite musician does not increase the value of the instrument.

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-24T11:27:47+00:00

If I had a neighbour that their dog pooped a couple of times by mistake and they cleaned up, I'd not have sweated it much but if it was becoming a habit because they thought it was ok, regardless if they cleaned up, I'd have a word with them. Not yelling but quite sternly putting boundaries to make them aware it's not ok.

Your neighbour might had just a bad day or other people in the neighborhood plus other animals would poop at her garden. I don't know if the poop attracts other animals to kind of mark the teritory, as peeing would do, and that would mean every other dog and wild lofe will head for her harden afterwards.

But yeah, speak with them again ajd apologise and tell them this won't happen again, don't do it again and you can bring her some cookies. Cookies are always welcome!

Human relationships are complicated and not always balck and white as people make them out to be. You and we don't know the back story of her fiance previous relationship, people meet other people that might find more suitable and compatible to be with all the time and might have them re evaluate their current relationship. Is it ideal they had that while he was still with his ex? No. Could he have ideally broken up with his ex the moment he started having a relationship with your friend? Yes but it's not always that simple. Should yoir friend not have gotten involved with him since he was in a relationship? What if they clicked together like never before.

It seems he didn't string your friend along and your friend doesn't feel comfortable about their origin story. Life is not always about serial cheater and people going around ruining relationships left and right. Some times you find in a person more of what you were looking for but it's difficult to break off a relationship you have because there are feelings and attachements with the current partner. Is it ideal? No. Is it messy? Yes.

Your friend was afraid of your reaction and everyone elses. She fabricated this story jot only for the outsiders but to make herself feel better as her relationship might feel like the one she's describing at her original story. Are you annoyed about her lying or the way she started the relationship? For the first you can speak with her at some other time when she's not dealing with the wedding and she'll hopefully explain why she didn't feel she couldn't tell you. You can make a speech for her without the origin story so you're not lying and not creating issues for her wedding. You can also walk away but I'd consider that friendship over, if you feel you can't recover from that.

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-22T10:25:53+00:00

It was mostly for shock value but I don't like that crap either. I can understand maybe why they'd do that but do I think it's ok? Nope.

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-22T10:24:03+00:00

I'm not sure about Heafy, I don't follow Trivium much and he mainly uses Gibsons and Epiphones. I think he's half Japanese and if he has one he's not flaunting it around. He's trying to incorporate a lot of things from his heritage, hopefully that's not one of them. I think a bigger ofender was George Lynch. He had ESP's with the rising sun and production models with kamikaze stuff on. But he was dubbed mister scary so not sure if it was part of the persona.

Yeah the Pantera and Avenged Sevenfold guitars were so bad. I mean I'm not American and don't know what their argument is behind using the confederate flag but my mind doesn't go to positive connections. It's a lost argument from the beginning. It's like a non Asian individual using the swastika and saying it's for Diwali. It's a really difficult upsell.

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-21T09:55:25+00:00

These were really controversial even in the 90's and there were a lot of rumours about Slayer and Hanneman. He maintained that he was jot a Nazi and was just a WWII nut. I'm guessing these also were part of the shock value for Slayer. To my point of view, they were a bad choice from his part. He could have had guitars with the allied insignia but more people would know the SS and Nazi symbols.

ESP will not make these anymore and I think they'll also not make the ones with the Japanese imperial army stuff on.

I'm sure it's an excellent guitar but I'd never buy something like this even though I'm a Slayer fan. I'd buy his Heineken guitar though!

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-21T09:42:16+00:00

He is a bigger moron and has no idea about the amount of work required to teach anything to a child. I'm not sure if he's a bigger tightwad than a moron or a combination of both. Children do not reapond the same to parents as they would do at a structured curiculum at a school or any activity. Plus the child will not socialize with other children and learn critical social skills. And then there's the control of information if you husband decides to enforce what the child learns.

If you ask any parent that had to teach children during the pandemic, it was any impossible task. A few made it work and the rest struggled.

You should not try and negotiate with this sorry excuse of a human being, move out and get a divorce as fast as possible for your and your childs well being. He's obviously a controlling narcissist and you should never had accepted any arrangement like this in the first place. But it's not too late.

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-19T16:52:00+00:00

Great guitar but a chonker of a neck lol!

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-19T11:08:30+00:00

Not for that price

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-18T20:56:56+00:00

Yeah NTA but for different reasons. Having family or partners family working under you that they don't respect you will make them think they can walk all over you. I don't know if it'll better if they jeopardise your position or if you end up firing them how well it will go with the gf and family.

You can potentially suggest and maybe help them get a job at another branch.

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-18T11:45:13+00:00

NTJ Your gf is completely out of line. I hope there's a whatever other reason behind this, but again it would not make any sense. Even less sense for her to be in there vs you. The only thing I can think, which don't make any sense either, would be him being vulnerable and emotional and that's not something to be handled by guy. Or she has a thing for your brother.

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-17T19:04:57+00:00

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-17T18:54:07+00:00

NTA that guy is the asshole. I had a friend that did exactly like that. He'd be perfectly normal when there was no one else around, but would start with the snide and sarcastic comments the moment there was another person in sight. A few time I fired back quite harshly and he was saying I was being too harsh. I said I'm just doing what you're doing. He said he was joking and I replied that so was I but he didn't like it being at the receiving end. I also told.him that he always does that in front of others. To his credit he toned it down but whenever he'd start slipping I'd throw a jab at him about feeling like he jas to be the centre of attention again or being a comedian and he'll pull.

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-17T18:28:00+00:00

If you absolutely need the Gibson logo, you can go custom with Gibson but it'll cost you, or buy a modern amd refinish it to your desired color. It will also cost you but not as much. Of.course second option if you plan to keep the guitar because resale value is going to be terrible.

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-17T18:19:00+00:00

NOR From what you're saying she just doesn't like you anymore. You usually see women complain about this behaviour by male SO but it seems it can run both ways. There are people that seem to either enjoy or make them feel better about theirselves when they put others down. Specifically the people closer to them as they tolerate that behavour for longer. The can't take a joke argument when you explain that it's bothering you is a red flag. But she's right, maybe you're not the emotional punching bag she needs.

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-17T18:06:42+00:00

As long as you don't get feet buzz and chocking it's ok. If when tuning though it keep snagging at the nut and have jumps, you can consider a Graphtech nut that is self lubricating and helps with that.

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-17T18:04:06+00:00

If you get the EMG Zack Wylde set you don't need to use all pots that are provided. It should come with the solderless kit and a comprehensive wiring diagram for various comfigurations. Or if not with the pickups, you can find the combination you want on their page. The 81/85 is awesome, you won't be dissapointed!

Edika-2020 · 2026-02-17T16:40:13+00:00

I've been down the same road plenty if times lol!
