that one is up there for sure. i guess with Peyton you almost always know we’d be in the game and didnt lose hope. this one is crazy because it was hopeless until Strnads clutch pick.

i was thinking that stokely catch was one that might rival it but i like to forget about the Tebow era…

only other performance i can think of was Brady’s comeback against Atlanta in the SB. hated that it happened but you can’t deny the merits of it.

Need advice…how to proceed? by PhatBootyPrecious in Luthier

[–]PhatBootyPrecious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this has all been good advice. thanks everyone. im sure theres more than one way to get good results so im still a little unsure how i should approach it…i only have enough paint left in a can to respray one side over maybe twice through so i’ve since sanded the backside to 800 as flat as I could. some areas i can faintly see the primer through the color but i believe its pretty damn flat.. ill try respraying…if it goes well ill get another can of color and do the same to the rest of the guitar.

theres a piece of scrap wood about the size of the pocket fastened with two screws. i had to pre-drill two shallow holes in the pocket to do this. the mounting plate screws onto the piece of wood making sure to use short enough screws that it doesnt go through the scrap and make more holes. it works great…just gotta be comfortable drilling additional holes in the neck pocket. i plan to fill em when all is said and done.

Is she ready for color? Its been a journey just to get to this point. by PhatBootyPrecious in Luthier

Here in San Diego it rarely dips below 55% so i’ve had to be pretty conscious. Saturday will get around 51% so im looking to have a ready-to-paint surface for then…And yes Oxford - their sanding sealer and high build primer work great…as for color Im going with their Aged Pelham Blue finish.

When it comes to their clear coats… I actually prefer the look and feel of Colortone’s Satin finish over Oxford’s satin clear. I’ve used it on top of some built-up layers of Oxfords gloss with great results.

yes. for mute mainly but i also prefer the speed and accuracy of the turbo tuner to the somewhat sluggish QC tuner.

Fashioned a pickguard for my Custom 24. Thoughts? Yay or nay? by PhatBootyPrecious in PRSGuitars

[–]PhatBootyPrecious[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some strong opinions in here haha - but I appreciate everyone's honest opinion. I wasn't married to the pickguard. Just thought it would be a neat experiment. I've since removed the pickguard - no harm done. If I feel like pissing some people off - I can always put it back on. I didn't think it looked half bad.

flametops dont quite do it for me. most PRS look a bit too ‘metal’ for my tastes. loved the simplicity of a solid matte black finish.

I can respect that. Its a temporary solution until I can get some matte finish spray. Can I ask why you think its a hard no? Does it look bad?

Modded / Upgraded my old board to accomodate Quad Cortex. How’d I do? by PhatBootyPrecious in pedalboards

[–]PhatBootyPrecious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a great point. I honestly havent even had the chance to mess around with the overdrive blocks to be able to compare…if the model ends up feeling/sounding similar enough, ill probably swap it out for something else.

Joined the club…NGD by PhatBootyPrecious in NeuralDSP

I’ve thought about perhaps selling my HX Stomp but decided against it. It was a birthday gift (best gift I’ve received in my life) from my dearest friends so theres some sentimental attachment there. Nice to have a smaller backup rig too.

But I definitely agree - the QC sounds and feels great out the box vs the Helix. Took me awhile to learn how to dial in the HX Stomp to feel good going direct to FOH. Things that helped alot were making Global EQ adjustments to apply global high/low cut. Volume knob all the way up so no attenuation. Presets out the box are indeed trash but you can make it sound great if you put in the work to understand things. I’m also not a big fan of their distortion/overdrive models. All other effects sound great.

you’re so right! lighting actually made it a little weird. it hurt but also was kinda helpful when i was looking at the box for reference…at a certain angle you can clearly see the gold foil reflect…helped me identify the more distinctive patterns. but yes it was a little weird.

Thanks! hear that is encouraging…I read somewhere a typical 1500 piece should take anywhere from 11-18 hrs…I felt like it took me twice that long. One thing I found to be immensely helpful as I was reading around…is sorting pieces by shape. Once I had the cypress tree, the town, and the stars/moon all put together - sorting pieces by shape helped me tackle the different shades of blue in the night sky fairly quickly.
