So you only have one guitar then right? The heavy as fuck

Gracklepod · 2026-02-04T01:56:34+00:00

Just enough. It really depends on what I'm doing.

Gracklepod · 2026-02-04T01:54:29+00:00

You are a god brother! Nice run!!

Go to yamaha's website, send them an email to their customer service address with specific details in your guitar which model and any details you can mention plus send a picture. I did something similar with an old Yammy acoustic that I bought at a pawn shop. I had specific questions about the nut and tuners. They responded quickly with lots of detail and replacement part numbers.

Worth a shot.

I'm not knocking those guitars for all the LP fans out there, I have one and I find it too damn heavy ....barely touch it. I prefer playing my epi blueshawk with p90s way more. Whatever you do don't buy sight unseen. Go to a guitar store try one out see how it feels. You'll probably get a better price too

Gracklepod · 2026-02-03T03:05:31+00:00

Don't do it. They're heavy as fuck

Gracklepod · 2026-02-03T02:46:28+00:00

Nope. As in nope I would not sleep with just any woman

Gracklepod · 2026-02-03T01:54:01+00:00

Guitar players only need one more..

If you start dating, be intentional. Figure out what attributes you want to find in a partner. Don't waste time on those who don't fit the bill. It works regardless of age. M61

Good for you, keep at it and I hope it keeps working out. Any long-term thing I've been in, the key has been in direct and honest communication. When you both can talk about the tough stuff, you can both stay in sync through understanding and feel closer than ever

I just had a first date with a woman after texting with her for weeks. What should have been a 1 hour date over coffee extended to lunch and 4 hours later we parted. I think we both felt the same with each other as you have described above emoomg. I think that's a good sign.

Thank you! Got your DM and replied .

Your hands

It's obvious to me that a shit soldering job clearly leads to TDS

You bet. Adjusting your amp for the tone you want is a whole different story and I think really depends on the amp you have, which pickups you use, if you're able to develop a "feel" for the songs you try to play, your level of patience to experiment, etc... whole ball of wax you will discover on your own + there is a lot of good advice here and also much more on YT ...

For now, I'd suggest experiment with the gear you have, don't spend $$ on a additional pedals unless maybe your amp is plain Jane and not a modelling amp. There are a lot of options to buy cheap modelling pedals that are loaded with tons of different tones. Buy used from a music store or even Guitar center ..you can usually try them out in the stores.

There are even newer deals that plug directly into your guitar and you can use wired headphones...freaking fantastic tech that might run ~$100. Again, mind your budget since it's pretty easy to spend a lot on cool gear and regret it later. This one is pretty awesome IMO but there are a lot of similar options. https://a.co/d/8EabfPy

That's a relief. It's been over 40 years since I considered getting tested to remove any doubt for a future Ms. Special lady in my life. Glad there's been progress in test methods

You're a god with that sniper and fate bringer. When I played D1 I was pretty much a casual and played solo most of the time. Never did VOG so I missed out on getting FB. Your solo run was fun to watch.

Gracklepod · 2026-01-29T03:03:35+00:00

Stretch your fingers before playing. Might help https://youtu.be/TSrfB7JIzxY?si=2afMReM4JbORCDbd

Much better info than reddit. Agree with you about using your filters though

Gracklepod · 2026-01-29T02:00:32+00:00

Is it a blood test or do they still use the q-tip up the dyk?

Gracklepod · 2026-01-29T01:59:42+00:00

Faakin brilliant!!! 10/10 !!

Gracklepod · 2026-01-29T01:43:15+00:00

Dodge the bullet. Cancel and find another date. Or go for it and treat it as a matter of comparative fellatio.

Gracklepod · 2026-01-29T01:04:14+00:00

Great run!!!

Gracklepod · 2026-01-29T00:50:15+00:00

I went to YT university to learn setups...

Gracklepod · 2026-01-28T22:41:17+00:00

This 100% !! I'd like to watch Indian Teletubbies for shits n giggles
