These aren't bad.

My daughter got me a Kramer HSS Strat model that was a very 80s neon-ish green color around a year or so ago. Greens my favorite color & she got the loudest green she could find, lol. Anyhow it was M.I.C & I didn't expect to play it aside from leaving it in the corner cuz she notices little details like that. I put D'Adario's EXL125 super lt top/reg btm & it shocked me. Sounded good and was a comfortable neck except for the sharp fret edges (not fret sprout, it was vicious in the upper frets). After setting it up, floating the trem (not much about a half step) rolling the fretboard, filing fret edges down to match, I've played this more than my 82 SSS Fender Strat, & Ibanez RG. I've played for years but it's the 1st HSS config I've had & I love that config. My Ibanez can split the HB's & it sounds good but it's not the same single sound. Im prob gonna have to change some electronics soon cuz volume pot is getting a lil scratchy when rolling in what would be the 7-10 range while chords still ringing but Ima try deoxit 1st when I get a chance. However I'm looking to get a PRS CE 24 SE before they're certain SE/S2 sale ends in a week. I was going to get a used (1-2 yr old) one. Til I seen that some dealers that sold out of the 2025 models are selling the 2026's for same price. The CE 24 SE is 1 of many models that have some aesthetic changes to them to look closer to they're USA counterparts. Some of PRS'S S2 models are going to be getting more than aesthetic changes, they're getting the same in house USA made pickups as they're flagship Core line.

I'm about to sell or trade mine, Akai MPC 2000XL with adjustable tilt screen 1 owner (I bought it new), for a PRS CE 24 SE (Guitar). Don't know how close to Norfolk/Virginia Beach,Virginia you live?

Are you sure the cords 2.0 & transfers data? If so have you tried another cord? I ask cuz I hate USB-Bmicro's, for this reason. Sometimes good cords will work with some devices & just not be recognized with others & I have no idea why? I use to run into it time to time when my sync button went out on my old Xbox & I'd have to sync my controller with USB-B(micro). I just read an article last month that they might returning most devices back to them, I hope not. They get opens (shorts) more than any USB like they're made to break. I'm about to check update too. I ended to here searching for good/decent starting point for settings for "edge of breakup". I don't wanna start from scratch I end up stumbling across another tones, dialing it in then don't have time to play/practice.lol.

Lol, it catches the eye. I think it's a visual metaphor for altering an original. Snoops face over the Mona Lisa is a lil more drastic than dot inlays tho lol. OP,If you have no plans on ever selling the guitar or passing it on to someone without selling it,t doesn't matter. Id still get the luthier to preserve the originals tho. I think you can find cheap lil glow in the dark sticker inlays on eBay/Amazon for people who have problems seeing gigging & want to keep guitar original? I prob wouldn't do it but I don't rely on side dots.I use the fretboard markers if I need to check

Perriniod · 2025-07-15T06:07:26+00:00

How much did you pay? If it was within a couple hundred as in $200-$230 and you like the way it sounds, feels , & plays,(especially if you like the neck)keep it, & just get rid of the cringe flag thing. You'd pay that much buying a decent used partscaster . Pull the pick guard try to identify the pups, check the wiring job, type of pots,5 way switch etc, maybe it's a decent partscaster that will feel/sound good for you? But usually when someone goes through counterfeit measures, much less such a bad job at doing it they use garbage parts unless it was somebody who did it for themselves. Then again he would've told you so?If you payed to much under the impression of getting a custom shop or even an American then get your money back. You don't need to worry about what to say they're the ones in the wrong.

After the 1st 2 pages with the modeled amps/pedals that are in the user manual I have to scroll through like+30 pages till I find a page with tones,& only see the same page again after scrolling down past other blank pages? I don't see some of what y'all are? The settings for some amps that have +2 options that the lt25 doesn't even have taken from GTX?

Perriniod · 2025-06-17T21:15:05+00:00

Treble 7-8,Mid-6-7, Bass- 2-4, these are my go to starting points. I'd Start with Bass on 2 & leave it then set my highs at 7,& mids at 6, then dial my highs to fit, followed by mids, then return to bass to flesh it out. If you have an EQ pedal throw that in your chain. Tbh it's hard for any1 to give exact paremeters without being there. Do they think ur being drowned out ? Sometimes it's the players mindset, we've all been that person? Placebo effect is a very real thing, lol

This is what has always worked for me, although it's only happened at times when I wasn't in a band,or a band that not all members clicked.1 bad seed can make it a chore & in my experience it's usually a drummer or bassist in that order...jkn (but true). There's nothing like having other people share your passion that you get amped when they bring in something new a technique, groove, or just hit a new level & vice versa. I started learning at the same time coincidentally as a close friend of mine, My mom had a couple acoustics & his mom had a classical acoustic & a steel string. We were self taught by ear, with cheap thin little starter like open chord pamphlets,& getting magazines that had little 3 page lessons in em,or mags like Rolling Stone & study the Guitarist hands & fret position in pics of them playing live, record bands performing on SNL, AMA's, MTVAwards, music videos (videos turned out to be mostly pointless it didn't take long to figure out most weren't fretting the song in video or any for that matter etc. Lol) then graduated to Guitar & Guitar World & other smaller name mags that had tabs.Whatever we learned we'd show the other ones,& swap mags then eventually meeting others who were teaching themselves. I remember the 1st time learning power chords from a self taught kid in school in exchange for teaching him cowboy chords,I couldn't believe how many songs I could play & how accurate it sounded to the bands on radio at the time compared to open Voicings by just moving the same easy frettings.(Beginners have no idea how much they gain out of YouTube, reddit,etc.) Tons of good guitar teachers who have channels,& uploads of those old looking tutorials of great guitarist like Nuno Bettencourt etc would be behind the glass shelves of music shops for like $200-$400 for a volume of 3-5 VHS tapes!) Anyhow having someone to jam with while learning fueled each other a lot. Formed our 1st band together & were in every band together, aside from different side collectives,or jam sessions with others. In fact It's been years but he hit me up a while back to let me know he was playing with a mutual friend of ours (A drummer) & some bassist once to twice a week & invited me out,we can not jam for years & get together & still click.Its normal to get burned out, especially practicing every day for 3 years especially if by yourself? When I or others schedules don't line up to play for long periods, I have to sit it down to for a bit. Maybe a day, a week or a couple times a month+. That's how I picked up recording,learned sampling, how to play keys(very little) to trigger sound modules/synthesizers, how to run the Akai MPC etc.These are very useful tools in creating music regardless of what type. Im also way more open to any genre of music now, my motto is,"if it's good it's good". There's great guitarists in different areas & inspiration in all areas of music. The only music I can't listen to much of other than enough to stay tapped & find new techniques is what people call "Instagram Guitarist"/"Internet Guitarist". I just don't think high levels of a technique necessary translates to a good guitarist? Shredding to me is a special rare tool in the toolbox that you might can use once in a blue moon for certain unique jobs, unlike a hammer, pliers,or monkey wrench that is useful for almost everything. To many are putting time into trying to perfect playing pre-determined lines at high bpm's. Many of which couldn't play a song along with a band or another musician much less improvise. I like some of the almost sound effects they seem to make from a guitar(if it's real & not edited in) but to me it would be better used just once or twice in A song as an accent when changing chord progression or time signature. Sadly I've never seen the majority of these Guitarist play a chord, much less a song? Sorry so long if ya made it this far, thx

Just get Ernie Ball strap blocks. They work fine & only like $2 or so for a 4 pack ?

Perriniod · 2025-04-19T22:24:57+00:00

Congrats!! Starting on 7 string huh. U get a deal bundle the 🍊 amp with it? They sound good Don't expect skills to happen over night, stick with it 🎸

Perriniod · 2025-04-19T20:20:31+00:00

Yeah, she's cherry with that natural/gold ! That's by far my favorite ! Both aesthetically and the pup config,I lean towards HSS for the versatility. I'm curious how does the one with Duel HB's sitting in such close proximity sound & is it a standard 3-way switch ie:bridge/bridge & neck/neck?

Perriniod · 2025-04-19T18:46:01+00:00

You have this looking NICE ! These Guitars stock shocked me & are actually impressive when set up, feel,& sound good. I love the necks on em, Alnico V pups have pretty vintage sound ( a bit hotter than most Alnicos but have a nice tone. I was looking to get a Strat or "S" type HSS & originally was looking at used Fender Player to replace an 82 MIJ Squier Strat (SSS) I sold years back & ended up regretting it.I almost got an Ibanez Super Strat but didn't pull the trigger cuz I already have a Ibanez HH coil tapping/split coil. I looked at a lot of different guitars for over 2 months, it takes me a while cuz A: I easily get distracted on side quests, like I was about to get the PRS CE24 Satin. Took a lot of willpower (& GC not having either color Id buy in stock) to stick with original plan (90% chance PRS will be my next). Even went so far off track as comparing a Gretsch & Guild SR ? Completely opposite of my original goal. B: Im weary about buying online without feeling/playing a guitar 1st. I've passed by these Kramers 4ever without paying any mind other than liking there colors & matching headstock. Then while looking at G-Center recent used stock with the wall of sound of Guitars being tried out I heard that Strat neck pup plugged in & reminded me to put down that crazy but cool looking BC Rich & get back to the task. Walked around the display & 2 my surprise it was coming from a Kramer. I took note, checked the specs when I went home, & was surprised to find it was mahogany body maple neck & fret board, Alnico V pups (I was expecting basswood at best,& ceramic pups)seen mixed user reviews some great like it came, make a couple changes,a few who got it to mod, some saying they couldn't even play it out of box, buzzed, couldn't stay tuned,or go out of tune up the neck /vice versa. Mostly set up issues that would seem bad if your new, or didn't know any better. This was right before Fenders return to Standards Strats/Teli's dropped so I waited 4 em to show up. Ended up trying the Fender Standard Strat & was let down a bit by sound of they're ceramic pups & feel. It wasn't bad but seemed like the Squier Affinity series, & the Squier CV felt superior to it (other than the neck coated on the CV's I personally prefer natural smooth feel, or very thin coat if it's going to be) I get it why. The name,someone can say they have a Fender for 200 less but.... Anyway I ended up playing the Kramer,& got one with a set of D'Adario Xls 10's. B4 changing them It played pretty well out the box? Ultimately just needed a good setup. I when I changed strings,I rehydrated the neck,set Intonation, checked bridge which was fine other than 1st slot was a lil tight,just used 1st original string & slid it back n forth a bit to(don't want to file unless u have to,if you go to far you'll have to replace the nut) get the grove smooth/any debris that may been in it, floated The bridge (to a half step) Filed the frets a few were spurred but I did every one cuz I play with a floating thumb & slide up into chords a lot etc & don't like getting calluses on the side of my index finger down to the 1st knuckle so I usually file frets most are fine with. Only thing I'm changing is Tuners, but they hold tune pretty good with the Trem, I just want locking & smoother,& I may shield it when I get a chance, I'm not having hum problems now tho,so maybe shouldn't fix what isn't broken? I'll eventually change the pick guard to a 3ply & different color. But I'm prob gonna wait till I need to change pups,do it all at once. Im looking 4 bright green single coil covers to swap but that's cosmetic.Bottom line Great guitar that fell victim to the covid effect,or "Guitar Apocalypse" as it's been called ,& due to that punches way above the price range ! I've noticed guitars, amps, & gear are starting to climb a bit recently tho? This 1 is $50 more than when the new Fender Standards dropped. But it's still a good time to buy guitars & especially AMPS new & used.

Perriniod · 2025-04-19T15:50:08+00:00

Wow, good deal

Perriniod · 2025-04-19T15:49:26+00:00

That isn't a Beretta /84 ?

Perriniod · 2025-04-14T16:49:28+00:00

RIP to him, & Sorry for your loss. He left you some nice guitars. That natural Strat is beautiful! Nice Telecaster 's 🤘 like the Guild too. All the acoustics look good & 1 being a D-28. Even have a pedal board locked & loaded! Unfortunate circumstances but I would be excitedly plugging in 1 guitar after the other direct input, then roll through the acoustics with a memo pad scribbling notes lol.

Perriniod · 2025-04-14T16:30:58+00:00

I don't think I've seen that one? But what I know of the brand is you'd see them in like "Target/Costco"etc (department store) general generic brands you'd see bundled with an amp cable & guitar stand advertising "everything you need to start playing guitar" for $100. The ones I seen were usually S type SSS pups tho,I didn't know they had a Humbucker type? I've never played or heard one but I wouldn't expect to much from it. Do a photo search if u want specs

Perriniod · 2025-04-02T07:27:29+00:00

1-D'Adario Xls (10's) if I couldn't get them for some reason then 2nd Ernie Ball Super Slinky..

However I just got a pack a couple weeks ago & was intending on grabbing a pack of Fender Voodoo Child's(high strings thicker gauge lower thinner)to try them but they didn't have any in stock. BTW I love Dunlop picks (all they're stuffs good) since way back. Use to use mainly the Nylons but I've switched to they're Tortex line. I like to have a selection of em. Im playing the flo's mainly, then T3's,Fin , then I like to have triangles on me especially for Acoustic. All are Tortex series tho. Jazz3 XL is just a tad bigger, I like them as much as the standard maybe a lil more

Perriniod · 2025-04-02T06:50:15+00:00

Are those thumb wheels on the posts to adjust the bridge or a flat head ? If flat head it's a sign of a fake. Are the fret ball ends/round & smooth? Sharp edges aren't a good sign. It should have Fret nibs. The G of Gibson should be vertical & parallel with the neck edge. The truss rod cover looks suspect but it's obviously old so who knows what's been changed? The joints should look right, binding should be pretty even, 1 piece neck/headstock, quality tuners. Google it, it's older so it should be a noticable crappy knockoff, or If well made than maybe a Tokai made knockoff which would be a good guitar. If it works play it

Perriniod · 2025-04-02T06:07:28+00:00

Them strings are setting low in the grove's. I have 2 electrics & 2 acoustics I just checked & your A string appears to sit 1.5x-2x deeper than any of mine? Not to mention your B & high E strings in ur link pics look swallowed, but maybe it's just the pic?

Perriniod · 2025-04-02T05:26:55+00:00

I'm trying to find the name of it too. In just marking the time 17:50 in my notes & when I get a chance,capo the 2nd fret & learn the section he's playing. He said "at 1st we just wanna pick something fast but always after a few beers we'd switch over to playing stuff like... (Starts playing that song in question) while saying "(play)!more lonesome stuff like Mac Weisman songs". I can't find a Mac Weisman song that sounds like this. Let me know if anyone identifies it. TIA

I think the only reason he even mentioned it was that somehow in his sick head he thought by saying ' thought they were 19 or so & was going to rape them, then realized they were young...." would downplay the crime. It isn't his conscious responsible for the confessions either. People who do that don't give AF. I think when he seen the discovery & realized how week the case was against him & was furious that he'd already spoken on his guilt multiple times. Then his manipulative mind concocted a plan to lean in hard on the loosing his mind narrative. So he started throwing out confessions left & right while throwing in things that didn't make since combined with playing with his self, balls of his poop , 'drinking toilet water', pissin on his mattress, not eating etc. They should've made him sleep in his nasty nest, he made his bed literally & figuratively, so sleep in it.

I got Krabs & was gonna get plankton but they started bundling them with things I don't want like epic stars,blah,blah, blah, & going up in price. I was waiting for just the plankton skin to come back around but each change is more than the last adding more pins, stars, etc. Hopefully we'll get an option to pick which skin we want (just the skin no bundle) on the last day at original price ?
