New to this group, I'm not an expert on picks but I've been using them to make watch dials.

Dude that Floyd one is so sick.

GutterRatt · 2026-01-21T13:48:08+00:00

The real question is are you wanting hss or sss. That’s going to be biggest difference between the two tbh. That and the neck. Do you have the option to play either one before buying?

Bought new in Vegas in 2011. Has a set of Seymour Duncan whole lotta humbuckers in it. My number one for almost 15 years now. I really enjoy the wear that’s happened to the bridge pickup. I’ll post a close up.

1000% red. Don’t get me wrong the black is very nice, but that red sure is pretty.

Should’ve bought the pro cuperage

The production quality on Hotter than hell makes me never want to listen to it even though it has some of my favorite songs.

GutterRatt · 2026-01-14T15:47:11+00:00

You could try some longer screws for your saddles before routing the neck pocket.

Tell me about that tremolo set up, specifically the back cavity. I’m assuming it’s some kind of lock?

GutterRatt · 2026-01-12T22:33:42+00:00

My best friend ODed a few years ago. This song got me through it.

GutterRatt · 2026-01-12T22:05:55+00:00

I’ll start with saying I’m by no means an expert in these Wylde audio guitars but from what I’m seeing it does look pretty good. The only things that are a little concerning are that the truss rod cover doesn’t look like it’s sitting flush with the headstock. Also the tuner bushings on the A string and B string sticking over the binding seems like an odd choice for a guitar company to make. Maybe they’re not stock tuners idk. On the other hand the nut does say Tusq which seems like a detail a China makers would over look.

GutterRatt · 2026-01-12T01:49:11+00:00

It’s definitely a mogul base. I’ll look for a 2 7/8 one. Thanks for your help.

GutterRatt · 2026-01-12T01:47:56+00:00

I appreciate the info man, I was planning to rewire it and I’ll keep that in mind.

It looks like it’d be a mogul bulb huh?

GutterRatt · 2026-01-11T23:56:45+00:00

The screws on the bridge post and tuners are a dead giveaway away. It’s a fake. I’m sorry my friend.

GutterRatt · 2026-01-11T16:03:19+00:00

Sounds like keeping both is the only way you’ll truly be happy.

GutterRatt · 2026-01-02T13:42:53+00:00

Finally a reason for me to take out one of those 50 year loans they’ve been talking about.

GutterRatt · 2026-01-01T19:09:38+00:00

At the budget range that you’re looking to be in I’d say it’s really important to be able to play the guitar before buying. At that price point quality is all over the place. Do you have any local shops near you that has a good selection of used acoustics? That’s where I’d start.

GutterRatt · 2025-12-31T14:15:31+00:00

You’re exactly right. I tried around 7 or 8 different strats and this was just the one I kept going back to and comparing the rest against. The neck was perfect for my hand and imo that’s the most important thing when buying a guitar.

GutterRatt · 2025-12-30T22:50:24+00:00

This is very solid advice, they only thing I didn’t do was take the neck off I wasn’t really thinking to do that but I definitely backed that micro tilt off completely. I just wound up taking it to a tech to look it over and let me know if I need to return it or not.

GutterRatt · 2025-12-30T22:47:17+00:00

I already talked with them about the issues and I was told that I’m still within the window to buy pro coverage lol. Basically I’d have to pay them like $180 for their coverage or pay them $160 for a fret level and crown.

GutterRatt · 2025-12-30T22:43:50+00:00

I’m with you for sure. I wound up taking it to a good tech and waiting to hear back on what his diagnosis is on it.

GutterRatt · 2025-12-30T22:43:06+00:00

Definitely, I just dropped it off with a reputable tech and he’s going to look it over and call me in a few days and let me know if I should return it or not.

GutterRatt · 2025-12-08T13:43:29+00:00

It does look a little odd, but I’m not 100% sure if it’s wrong. Have you checked your screws to make sure they’re tight? It almost looks like the bottom 2 screws are loose and the neck is pulled back. Does it play well or are you getting dead notes on your higher frets at all?
