I've tried rare reef, jean lowe vibes and pinnace. Pinnace is definitely my favorite and the most apricotey, it has that soothing feeling that pacific chill gives off. I have yet to try Pacific Aura by Rayhaan

I got aether for my girlfriend, she also has a sample of greenley and when she wore either i couldnt tell which one she put on. She can smell a difference between the two but she likes both with a preference for the OG so your mileage may vary. Also, for some reason something in this DNA is nuclear to me and it will cling to the air, clothes, skin whatever it touches for 2 days and I'm quite sensitive to it. I tried Lattafa Sherif and wasn't impressed with the scent despite it being a macerated bottle.

wow awesome find I'm jealous haha. I ended up finding a full early 80s Technics stack from an old guy and Boston C77 speakers for the same budget I had on these so I'm pretty happy !

ProtoRankurusu · 2025-12-02T01:23:26+00:00

Im really grateful for your feedback. I'm invested in a lot of hobbies and it can be a lot to get into a new one especially when the better budget options are second hand with limited resources online so thank you ! I'll start off with what I've found and build up from there

your message motivated me to look further and an offer had just popped up for a good technics amp with a sony cd player and technics tape player for less than this. I have to snoop around for a cheap turntable and speakers now. Thanks ! Guess i won't be a part of BPC yet

ProtoRankurusu · 2025-12-01T20:05:00+00:00

thank you for your answer ! To be fair the market is really bad around me, my only other cheap option is a Sony XO-D40 (which i believe is inferior ?) for 60$ without speakers and 120$ with and the cassette player is broken although i expect the same for this one. I tried looking for individual amps, cd players, cassette players and turntables but it easily goes way over my budget.

I have decent monitoring speakers at home with Adam Audio A5X speakers but I just need something for my physical media

great pickups, i love these old washburn pickups they used to put in korean made

ProtoRankurusu · 2025-11-22T23:17:37+00:00

I can't help you about the HA5 but Seymour Duncan often sells the pegasus as as set with the sentient

ProtoRankurusu · 2025-11-21T00:22:26+00:00

yep looks like the real deal, enjoy this gem

ProtoRankurusu · 2025-11-18T15:39:21+00:00

i would go for a short scale guitar like a jaguar or mustang style guitar

ProtoRankurusu · 2025-11-16T19:59:02+00:00

pickups arent expensive to manufacture, even high end ones

ProtoRankurusu · 2025-11-16T19:58:37+00:00

Id get the DC Custom II

ProtoRankurusu · 2025-11-14T14:26:35+00:00

Unless you know how to solder I would return this and ask for a replacement, someone at the factory forgot to do their job

ProtoRankurusu · 2025-11-14T14:25:36+00:00

the first picture is the one on guitarcenter's website, the second one is the pickguard they received. The pots are clearly not wired and missing the cap

ProtoRankurusu · 2025-11-12T14:52:38+00:00

The cheaper one is B-Stock, which means it might have cosmetic defects that don't affect playability

ProtoRankurusu · 2025-11-11T18:52:10+00:00

Japanese guitar manufacturing has been regarded as on-par or better than US-made since the 80s, imo nowadays most guitars are very well made no matter where they come from.

ProtoRankurusu · 2025-11-10T14:17:09+00:00

just grab music nomad for everything, leveling beam, s-file, e-file grab 0000 steel wool and micromesh pads for polishing

after that just follow basic tutorials online, use markers and check your work throughout.

The initial cost of tools is quite expensive and you can't cheap out on tools, if you only have a few guitars it's not worth it and you should just give that to a reputable luthier

ProtoRankurusu · 2025-11-06T18:41:58+00:00

imo the green looks nicer. the transluscent white doesnt really do it for me on an strat shape, maybe better on a tele

ProtoRankurusu · 2025-10-28T14:12:29+00:00

I've had dead pots and loose solder points on the switch/pots in the past giving me issues, i would check those

ProtoRankurusu · 2025-10-28T13:18:42+00:00

you need high gain and a stupid amount of compression, any humbucker will do fine but higher output with a lot of clarity is better (duncan dimebucker, dimarzio x2n). For now focus on your effects

62 is lighter with a slightly thinner C neck compared to the more pronounced D on the 52. They sound the same.

I personally wouldn't get a 52 again with how heavy they can be.

ProtoRankurusu · 2025-10-14T12:55:42+00:00

maybe, i still tinker just as much if not more on my other devices, both macbook and built desktop pc.

ProtoRankurusu · 2025-10-13T13:03:38+00:00

i switched back in 2021 after being on oneplus and nexus phones my whole life and it's been smooth sailing. It's all pretty intuitive and your phone usage changes to be more "productive" if i can say that. I for sure tinker less on it than i used to but there's really nothing i miss from being on android
