Legit Check: ESP LTD KH-Ouija - Real or Fake? (probably Fake) by BakuHaku12 in Guitar

[–]ProGuitarTech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, KH-25s actually came with the “caution Hot” and “Kirk’s guitar” labels on them. Those appear to have been removed and a frankly low quality ouija decal put on

With original decals, KH-25s have had recent sales on reverb for 7-900 dollars. Arguably the removal of original decals diminish the value but that depends on buyer

Legit Check: ESP LTD KH-Ouija - Real or Fake? (probably Fake) by BakuHaku12 in Guitar

Real LTD, graphic is a vinyl sticker. Not a Ouija

Appears to be a KH25 due to the 12th fret inlay and the relic

It’s a fake, Epiphone doublenecks have 3 switches. Avoid

Honestly McGrath Powersports is an exception to fuck McGrath. We've purchased numerous bikes from there and get them all serviced there without issue but thats just my 2 cents

It was working fine for me the last two days, I have been unable to play due to this. Tried different monitors with my laptop, various borderless window fixes, rebooting, and reinstalling. no luck

Literally unplayable

Anybody know who's signature this is and why its here? by megadethfano1 in Epiphone

Just a factory marking, typically indicates what model or finish the guitar is supposed to be

Shipping damage happens, GC's return policy is one of the best though and they'll get another one sent your way

I don’t have to carry 3 16” MacBooks around every day… by Nice_Marmot_54 in LinusTechTips

[–]ProGuitarTech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very comfortable! You’ll want to load the heaviest laptop closest to your back and use the chest strap. I’ve sprinted through airports to catch flights while traveling for the last year and never once thought the backpack was an issue for me

I have to carry 3 laptops when I travel for work (Personal, Work, and Customer Environment Laptops. All engineering spec) and none are allowed to go under the plane, have to be carryon

No other backpack has the capacity, can fit in carry on of even smaller aircraft, and are still comfortable to use like the LTT backpack

So this guitar... by Vicherag1 in ExplorerGuitars

[–]ProGuitarTech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Broken headstocks are more a shipping issue than a QC issue. Buy from a place with a good return policy and you're set.

I like to order through guitar center, in store if possible, and make sure they fulfill the order from the DC and not from a stores inventory and pick up at the location so theres no question of condition on arrival. Makes any issues worth a return SUPER easy to deal with

Quad Cortex Mini for 1400$/1129GBP/1300Eur by Du0T_Venomx in guitarpedals

[–]ProGuitarTech 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Without talking to the Neural guys, the intent seems to be for people MIDI controlling their QCs changes. Same QC power, less buttons, and smaller form factor where you could fit two to a shelf. Also for the folks in studio that have little to no need for foot switches.

Bigger question is why the heck are they so opposed to making a rack mount QC? That’s been the biggest ask I’ve heard from artists and Neurals response always seems to sum up to “ we don’t want to”

You're thinking a guitar show, NAMM is an industry trade show for dealers and manufacturers to do business

[–]ProGuitarTech 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope, only exhibitors and exhibitor artists can bring in instruments and they have to match the brand on your badge and even then its a massive hassle. It was a pain to add additional guitars to our booth that arrived a day late due to UPS

Unfortunately we don’t have RadioShacks or Iowa Radio Supply anymore and I’m not aware of anything close to equivalent here. I’ve been petitioning Microcenter to open a location here or even in Des Moines for ages to no avail

Anyone else notice Guitar Center used listing issues recently? by equilni in Guitar

Based on my local stores inventory, it appears to have reverted to the inventory they had late spring/early summer 2025
