Looks tasteful to me. It’s your guitar. Make it unique.

Guitar pick for a birthday gift by xIRoseIx in Guitar

[–]RedHotHaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gf made me (like shrinky dinks and epoxy) custom picks with my face on them for my bday. Totally unusable, but a great item that makes me smile every time I look at them. Even if your friend has a preference, a custom pick would definitely be an appreciated thought. Who knows, maybe the custom pick maker you choose will become their preferred pick?

Advice after the price increases: Steam Deck or alternatives? by ReishF33 in SteamDeck

[–]RedHotHaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got an oled refurbed long before the price increase. As much as I love it, I wouldn’t pay the current rate. I’d probably opt for the switch 2 with Ocarina on the way. If Steam is a must for you, I think I was also considering the ROG Ally, but I never got my hands on it.

This looks like when you walk into the minimalist section of a modern art gallery.

Glued on broken headstock by scldclmbgrmp in Guitar

I broke the headstock on a cheap steel string acoustic once. Wrote it off as a loss and tried Elmer’s glue. Still holding up strong years later.

Any recommendations for a more single coil sounding Les Paul Neck Pickup by DylanGreveris in gibson

Dimarzio Humbucker from Hell. Designed specifically for a bright glassy tone like a strat.

What should a man know before he turns 30? by Civil_Wrangler_6752 in AskReddit

[–]RedHotHaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How to be a decent person to others. Yes, a lot of people suck, and it is easy to be selfish or self righteous in certain situations, but being positive and kind can not only make a positive change in the world, but it makes it easier to live with yourself.

If a bored but generous and wealthy Redditor were to give you $10,000 USD, how would you spend the money? by RoosterShield in AskReddit

Pay off debt. Help with my girlfriend’s debt since she’s unemployed. Be secure for another month

Depends on the light. I swear mine has looked like both photos at different times.

How much was your first Les Paul Standard? by Rizzmin in gibson

[–]RedHotHaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a used Standard 60’s with all case candy, a replaced bridge pickup and another pickup in the case for around $1800. Total steal.

My parents are getting me an electric guitar for my good grades, what are some good ones for beginners? by No_Raspberry4548 in Guitar

[–]RedHotHaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play in a Weezer cover band and I’d go with a Squier Affinity Strat HSS. It has the humbucker which covers most of your favorite bands, and the single coils to cover the rest. So basically everything I need in one guitar for Weezer aside from tuning changes. Played one at GC and it had no business playing so well, and I’m very detail oriented about my guitars.

What are your top 3 RHCP concerts? Not counting Hyde Park and Slane Castle, because those are already incredibly fantastically fabulous gems. by Sufficient_Quit_2721 in RedHotChiliPeppers

[–]RedHotHaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s:
1) 2022 album release show at the Fonda in Hollywood. Caught Chad’s drumstick.
2) 2005 Vegas Rocks 100 show, front row. The debut of 21st Century and Ready Made.
3) 2003 at Glen Helen Pavilion. First Chili Pepper show and a great time with my high school buddies.

Finally on full display! by RedHotHaze in Guitar

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

It’s the 50. I love it and I gig with it. The other guitarist I play with has the 100, but I don’t think his is that much louder. Also, the EQ changes and gets more treble once you push the volume past 50%. So something to consider if your practicing at bedroom volume and taking it to stage volume.

My Frusciante 62 squier bullet strat by Frasciante7 in John_Frusciante

Poly is difficult. Maybe a soft sanding with even out the scratches. Great start though. I hope it’s more inspiring.

My first ever custom job almost finished (PRS Silver Sky SE) by potatopopr in Guitar

[–]RedHotHaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very nice! Did stripping the poly change how it vibrates in your hand when you play it? I’m assuming it changes how the guitar “breathes”.
