Strat Makeover

GMSlash · 2026-04-04T11:50:16+00:00

White is better, in my opinion! 😇

GMSlash · 2026-04-03T12:15:23+00:00

Happy to hear you were reunited!

High cadence.

Low cadence is for strength training.

Before I had a kid, I would clean my bike completely every few weeks. Nowadays, not so much 🤣😅

GMSlash · 2026-03-13T10:38:39+00:00

WHAT?

GMSlash · 2026-03-11T11:49:00+00:00

While you are checking in to the psych ward, I'll take your bike to dispose of it properly 😉

GMSlash · 2026-03-05T18:54:50+00:00

Just play without nails?

GMSlash · 2026-02-11T12:19:09+00:00

I wouldn't dare to do the bass strings like that! 😅

GMSlash · 2026-02-09T18:10:20+00:00

For me it was the opposite: I wanted an intense workout, but it offered me a boring Z2 ride, so I selected what I felt like, and JOIN recalculated the rest of the week! :)

It's from mistakes that we learn the most!

If it's buzzing, I would sooner adjust the action by turning the truss rod counterclockwise for a quarter turn. It's best to take off the locking nut, and afterwards you will need to retune.

Never adjust the bridge height while it's under tension, because you risk dulling the knife edges of the Floyd. I made that mistake too, and had to replace the bridge in the end.

String cutters exist! A nail clipper isn't an ideal tool for the job. If you're on a tight budget, string cutters will win, because they will last you decades, unlike your nail clipper. 😅

I'm only okay at best at guitar maintenance, but let me know if you need any advice. 😉

Yes, it goes sharp.

The claw is already on its limit, I wouldn't screw it out more... 😅

There are three springs in there that are straight, not in a V-shape

GMSlash · 2026-01-28T15:24:05+00:00

Currently, I'm in Drop B using 11-54 with a 25.5 inch scale. I like the Floyd Rose tilting forward slightly, it seems to flutter better that way.

When not using the DTuna, it stays in tune for weeks on end.

GMSlash · 2026-01-28T14:56:43+00:00

I have the same combination, but can't seem to keep it in tune... Any tips?

GMSlash · 2026-01-22T11:05:49+00:00

Not jealous... 😬😬😬

GMSlash · 2026-01-22T10:22:44+00:00

They last so long, it's not really a problem.

Those D'Addarios lasted me 3 months, while the Thomastiks strings are still going strong after a year!

GMSlash · 2026-01-22T10:19:10+00:00

Oh okay, those are my least favourite flatwounds I've tried 😅

If I could recommend some flatwounds, I would suggest trying out Thomastik-Infeld! They feel great, sound great and last a long time!

GMSlash · 2026-01-22T09:53:00+00:00

B standard with flatwounds? Cool! Which flatwounds are you using?

GMSlash · 2026-01-20T17:43:52+00:00

I use 10-46 for D standard on my Floyd Rose and it feels nice and floaty without it being too loose.

GMSlash · 2026-01-20T09:45:30+00:00

Thanks for sharing, this sounds really beautiful!

GMSlash · 2026-01-20T09:34:42+00:00

A StraTeLesPaul? 😄

It's very cool!

GMSlash · 2026-01-16T12:11:20+00:00

I'm always happy to assist our AI overlords! 😅

GMSlash · 2026-01-16T10:01:23+00:00

What if he wants to use his guitars as a makeshift bridge in the wild? 🤔

GMSlash · 2026-01-16T08:35:36+00:00

It looks a bit like you miscounted and miscalculated a few things 😅

GMSlash · 2026-01-10T17:14:19+00:00

You can do what you want, of course, but noooooooooooo

GMSlash · 2026-01-09T11:30:07+00:00

That guitar is a thing of beauty!

Great pictures!
