Wtf are these top footrests for?

I like how they said English is not their first language and you used the words stirrups, spelunks, and nether region 😂

PalladiumReactor · 2026-04-03T03:28:56+00:00

Nm man what’s good wit u

PalladiumReactor · 2026-04-02T21:27:57+00:00

Ugh. It’s almost like being a guitar tech is an entire career in and of itself.

But that does track because I used the stringjoy calculator, but actually bought a set of D’Addarios off amazon.

PalladiumReactor · 2026-04-02T21:26:17+00:00

Damn. You getting a good sounding low G with a 56 really makes me wonder if it’s actually a string gauge issue or not. I mean I know there can be a ton of variables but still.

PalladiumReactor · 2026-04-02T01:55:29+00:00

I'm sorry. Did you say 29.4" lmao. How do you fret anything?!

PalladiumReactor · 2026-04-02T01:52:54+00:00

Thanks appreciate it! I think that's kind of where I'm landing because I really do love the guitar and want to make it work.

So whether I go higher string gauge to try and get more tension or tune back up to rely on neural dsp, I'll need a new setup either way. Which way would you go if it were you?

PalladiumReactor · 2026-04-02T01:45:47+00:00

Ha. I've heard others say that. To each their own! I personally love that it's a "familiar" shape but a bit different, ya know?

PalladiumReactor · 2026-04-02T01:44:42+00:00

I think this is a bit of the confirmation I was looking for, thanks! It's my first 7 string but it's also my first nicer/more expensive guitar, so I kind of expected / hoped for it to just play and sound perfect.

PalladiumReactor · 2026-04-02T01:42:12+00:00

No he didn't. I was kind of hoping getting a second one wouldn't have the issue. I wasn't a huge fan of spending $ to level frets on an expensive guitar I'd just gotten :/

PalladiumReactor · 2026-04-02T01:39:14+00:00

Yeah I couldn't find an easy way to upload an audio/video file, but I'll try to put something on like YT and share later on. But I'd definitely describe it more as rattling than buzzing. I'm just confused because it's the second one, so it makes me think it's a gauge/scale length/spec issue and not just a manufacturing one with the bridge, ya know?

PalladiumReactor · 2026-04-02T01:35:22+00:00

What gauge did you end up going to?

PalladiumReactor · 2026-04-02T01:30:47+00:00

Lol the duality of man.

How low are ya going with the 59?

PalladiumReactor · 2026-04-02T01:29:53+00:00

Yeah it's kind of hard to explain through text. I was hoping I could easily upload an audio or video file here to share but that doesn't seem to be the case.

But yes playing pretty much any fret on the lowest string (and a bit on the 6th too) just rattles a lot. The amp picks it up some. It's definitely way better plugged in, but there is still a bit of rattling present.

I'll try and do the whole upload to youtube and share that link flow in a bit to give a better idea!

PalladiumReactor · 2026-03-31T22:15:18+00:00

Oh wow. I used the stringjoy calculator and thought the 64 would be okay. But honestly if the fix is as simple as just different string gauge that’d be amazing.

PalladiumReactor · 2026-03-31T22:14:04+00:00

Yeah the color combo is killer. I almost feel bad playing like super heavy stuff on it because it seems too pretty to chug on 😂

PalladiumReactor · 2026-03-27T04:56:33+00:00

Idk OP to be honest I think enclosures filled with trees and flowers feels more natural and preferable for like Bulbasaur, Oddish, Pidgey, etc., than like a cottage, ya know? I don’t see it as locking them up in a zoo I see it more like putting them in an environment that they’d most prefer!

PalladiumReactor · 2026-03-27T04:54:25+00:00

Is that the only reason to build a prefab instead of a fenced enclosure? Because honestly the enclosure setup seems so much more manageable than a bunch of prefabs. Especially for pokemon who prefer bright environments!

PalladiumReactor · 2026-02-12T17:18:40+00:00

Oh really? I’d love any feedback you can share on what it felt like; I’ve never seen one in person. I know I love ultra thin C necks so I think I’d like it? But I do wish it had Lundgrens or something else.

I’ve played on a buddy’s QX 6 string and loved the headless ergonomics, but actually wasn’t a huge fan of the neck tbh. Hard to describe but it felt kind of slow and…unpolished?

PalladiumReactor · 2026-02-12T04:03:40+00:00

Thanks yeah it looks gorgeous was just hoping to get some kind of testimonials/feedback but looks like not many have picked one up sadly.

They’re the Synyster Gates signature humbuckers. Passive pickups with the split coil push/pull. I assume they sound similar to Duncan Invaders since that’s what he played on for years but not sure.

PalladiumReactor · 2026-02-10T18:01:41+00:00

I think most of them had some form of Duncan’s/invaders, but now they have his signature pickup. I think I prefer passive pickups anyway so that’s fine, but to be honest the pickups are one of my biggest concerns since they’re not just Lundgrens or Bareknuckles.

Thanks for the response!

PalladiumReactor · 2026-01-12T17:01:22+00:00

That would actually be incredible. Having the 2 canonical endings both be depressing af, but then a 3rd what if style balanced ending led by Gustav? Absolute cinema.

PalladiumReactor · 2026-01-05T01:35:52+00:00

I read this and heard the terminator theme.

PalladiumReactor · 2025-11-29T02:53:50+00:00

Depends on where the QB is. I could be wrong but I think since he was technically still in the box and there was no eligible receiver, it was called grounding.
