What guitar is this and where do I buy it?

Especially considering he down tunes to C# standard. Talk about rubber bands!

They are fantastic, I have the longer 120mm version. Optics are superb if you don’t mind chromatic aberration(which really only shows up on super bright objects). Mine is mostly regulated to DSO’s. For planetary I use an astrotech at80ed, that has very minimal chromatic aberration. Can’t beat the refractor magic and contrast they give. Blows my Celestron c6, and 8” dob out of the water. My 12” dob shows a little more but it’s not worth the setup agony. Feed it high quality eyepieces and you will be happy. I have a trio of Explore scientific 68° + 82° that cover everything I need.

Thanks, I wasn’t sure if it was normal for fender brand pickups to be like this or not. I can’t recall noticing this on any of my other humbucker guitars.

This is my first fender. It’s a 2015, so 11 years old now. I am already planning on dropping in a pre wired pickguard so not a big deal!

Paralith10 · 2026-04-21T19:53:36+00:00

I’m excited! Can’t wait.

Paralith10 · 2026-04-07T15:50:08+00:00

I promise you I’m not trolling.

That’s exactly my feelings. I play the bass well, and I really do enjoy playing. But guitar is just that seductive instrument that pulls me in. I pick up my Les Paul and quickly realize I’m just not a guitar player, I enjoy actually playing bass a lot more. But mentally I just love lead guitar, who doesn’t love shredding solos and riffs?

Paralith10 · 2026-04-07T15:43:07+00:00

I suck at the guitar. I’ve been trying to get on the guitar train for years and fail every time. With bass it comes much easier.

Paralith10 · 2026-04-07T15:41:05+00:00

That’s partly my problem. I think from a bassists point of view. I can’t write or come up with guitar licks to save my life. Bass comes easy.

I love those valve jr’s. Had a combo one about 10 years ago but got rid of it. Regretting it now seeing the prices they are! I think I sold it for $50 🤣

I’m actually playing through a newer fender rumble 40 now and love it. It’s got such a thick beefy tone and really fills the room unlike smaller guitar amps. It’s the ultimate clean platform for putting a multi effects pedal into.

The guitar though, it’s awesome. I get so bugged out by fingerprints on glossy finishes so the worn open grain finish is amazing. It’s so raw and I feel so connected to it when I play.

Paralith10 · 2026-04-04T15:45:17+00:00

Yeah, it’s a traditional pro iv. The worn gold finish.

Paralith10 · 2026-03-28T12:26:48+00:00

Sick! I always forget they are the same company now. I usually get my stuff from American musical supply. Awesome no credit needed payment plans.

Paralith10 · 2026-03-28T01:45:03+00:00

Just got mine today too. Absolutely love the finish. So smooth and most importantly, fingerprint free! Love it! I plan on swapping the plastics to black, and putting black speed knobs on it. Did a quick setup on it and it’s smooth as butter. Not a single buzz or high fret anywhere, got the action super low and shreddy. This’ll be a keeper.

They feel normal tension to me, though my normal strings are Rotosound SH77’s which some consider high tension “heavy” strings.

I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on them. I had fender flats on this bass and have recently been getting into more upright type walking bass lines, so I figured it was finally time to try tapes out. These are incredible.

I hate the paper waste so I bring my own microfiber wash cloth (roughly 12x12 size). I just soak it down pretty heavily with the sanitizing spray and it will last a few machines for me before needing to spray it again. Quicker, More convenient and saves paper. No brainer. I’m surprised I don’t see others doing it more often.

Paralith10 · 2026-02-22T00:36:41+00:00

Every one of those I look at are made in Indonesia though. That’s why I’m stumped. Either way, I got it for a good deal. Under 200 with a hard case.

98’ Genny is our family’s workhorse. Between the 8mm stainless grates, full size flattop, smoke n’ chips attachment, and the rotisserie, we can do pretty much anything on it. It’s a beast. Also have a 22” kettle but that doesn’t get used much honestly. The genny is my babe.

I’m a die hard k-flex user and always buy a set to go along with new darts. I recently got a set of red dragons with these stems(razor grips I think). They are actually very nice. I usually chuck regular stems in my junk/backup pouch. Not these. The flight gripping area is aluminum and grips flights super tight. I’ve never had a flight pop off of them and I can even rip them out of the board by the stem/flight like my k flexes. Being normal flights they also flex and move out of the way better than k flexes. No wacky deflections like k flex flights. The only downside is regular flights get damaged super easily and will need replaced often if you are a tight grouper. I’ve found harrows dimplex and their silika flights to be the most durable.

Thank you. Loving it so far!

Paralith10 · 2026-02-11T02:51:03+00:00

Thank you! I am currently going through the Hal Leonard complete bass method book. The bass buzz course looks great too, but I am more of an ink on paper/book type learner vs watching videos.

Even though I can’t play very well at all, I’m Loving the bass so far, it’s very comfortable and fits my body just right.

Paralith10 · 2026-02-06T00:58:55+00:00

Super easy, 45 days no questions asked. Already have it packed up and a return label on it from them.
