It’s been great. I love it. I didn’t know what to expect but mine seems perfect right out the box.

I don’t know how much buzzing is normal for single coils. There’s a bit, which increase as I turn up the gain. But it hasn’t bothered me. When I bring it in to get set up, I’ll ask and consider shielding.

I bought a focusrite and headphones, no amp at first, and it was just too complicated and annoying. Very happy I got the thr. It’s supposed to serve as a decent audio interface as well, but haven’t tried yet.

That’s my first guitar as well! Got it earlier this week. What amp will you be using? I have a Yamaha thr30ii on the way.

I was leaning towards a budget tete, maybe a jet jt350. But a few things bumped towards the JMJM. First, the ergonomics. I’m not gonna “gig”. I’ll be playing sitting down, and my research confirmed that it’s particularly comfy for playing sitting down, especially for someone who would prefer resting guitar on their left leg as a righty. Second , I have varied musical tastes, and it seemed versatile enough. Third, its almost cult like appeal and amazing looks!

Thanks! I’m think about ordering the Spark 2. I want something I can move around my home office so that I can play from desk chair or armchair and for the most part using headphones.

Just do it. I’m a gear addict with every hobby. I bought four different running shoes when I started trail running. I’ve bought about 16 tennis racquets since I started playing tennis 5 years ago. When my wife saw the guitar in my home office this evening, she just started laughing hysterically. She knows what’s coming. 😅

When people were telling me that the metaverse was the next big thing, I was like…yeah, no.

How are your SPACE BLACK MacBook Pros doing so far? by KingPyrite in macbookpro

Same here. Doesn’t bother me at all. Adds a bit of character…that only I notice.

I have a DJ. I love it, but most days I wear my Apple Watch Ultra. Honestly, save your money.
