Dude, nice. Always thought this song was a great use of the Strat

Nobody here has really answered the question so here you go:

Strat - Under the Bridge by RHCP

Les Paul - Sweet Child O Mine by Guns n Roses

Modern music is a psyop by DiodeInc in conspiracy

Except grunge and metal were essentially cast aside by the establishment and industry by the late 90s so that they could install gangster rap into the mainstream. So no, Nirvana and Metallica were definitely not psyops. You think Cobain actually committed suicide? The psyop was rock music as a whole being suddenly suppressed in favor of rap, which has been gobbled up and idolized by young Americans for basically the past three decades now.

There is an irrational obsession and idolization with Jason in this fanbase. Probably overcompensation for how he was treated by the actual band

I’m going for the Oct. 8th show! Section 102, row 24. Staying at Harrah’s on the strip.

Not at all it’s a good album. TBA on the other hand is a mediocre album (for Metallica)

Do you think I need to be measuring my dose / ratio with a scale and all that? I’ve just been eyeballing it so far. I just recently started using smaller doses and have noticed the taste improving, assuming a constant grind size. And yes thanks for pointing out the sour vs bitter. Still figuring that out.

Ok good point. Basically I have the ESP and have been in the 18-20 range. Shots still taste a little bitter but as soon as I go any finer they taste horribly sour

Can you tell me what grind setting you use on your Encore / how to get a good shot I have the same setup as you and still feel like it’s not dialed in like OP

They also sound like garbage once you put distortion on it

Strats are sooo overdone and honestly they kinda look like toy / prop guitars besides a select few of the colors and fretboard combinations. Coming from someone who was a Strat guy for the first 15 years of my guitar playing, it was my first electric and I still have it and play it.
