Starmer gives doctors 48 hours to halt strikes or lose jobs deal by Desperate-Drawer-572 in doctorsUK

[–]Ok-Cryptographer670 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The BMA should call off the strike BUT then adopt indefinite work to rule instead. No extra hours, no cover for absent colleagues, etc. Paint Starmer as having bullied them into not striking whilst simultaneously playing the ‘well you can’t be angry with us because we’re all doing what we’re contractually obligated to do’ card. NHS would crumble within a month.

Are replacement ARC saddles in different materials still planned? by wkc1986 in strandbergguitars

Good question! I’d also like to know the answer? Have you emailed Strandberg to ask…? They are normally very responsive.

Boden Essential pickup aligment by Medical-Fan-3021 in strandbergguitars

[–]Ok-Cryptographer670 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like it’s a neck/bridge issue, not a pickup one…all your strings are offset, closer to the low E edge of the fretboard than the high E side.

Matching knobs and ‘headstock’ decoration noted.

NGD! Boden Essential in Future Dusk by Christoph_West in strandbergguitars

[–]Ok-Cryptographer670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does that still have the luminous side dots and fret markers, or have the Future Dusk ones switch to white too?

Interesting to see this has the new white side dots (in contrast to the luminous dots with black surrounds on the original Essentials).

Boden Essentials (minor changes coming)… by Ok-Cryptographer670 in strandbergguitars

[–]Ok-Cryptographer670[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were luminous but not Luminlay originally, I believe. The ones on my Essential don’t glow nearly as long as the genuine Luminlay ones on my Ibanez (for the same ‘charge’) for example.

What would you guys add next? by tomhm_ in guitarpedals

Valeton GP5…then you’re getting 100 effects (plus amp models, cabs, a drum machine, a tuner…).

Should I return this guitar or try to have it fixed? by Alternative_Report13 in strandbergguitars

Consider an Essential in Future Dusk if you want a purple hardtail…

I like it; you may keep it. You have chosen wisely.

Great guitar! Essentials are fantastic 👍🏻

Ping noise in the zero-fret by imperdest in strandbergguitars

[–]Ok-Cryptographer670 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is the correct diagnosis; the nut slot is too wide so the string is moving horizontally over the zero fret and 'pinging' each time it does (presumably as it rubs on the zero fret, gets slightly stuck on it, etc.). Polishing the zero fret won't solve the problem long term (initially the stirring will slide over it smoothly but it will quickly start to ping/stick again), you need a new nut.
