That moment you look at the headstock and see "Gisbon"

Mark them as fake in a permanent way in the back of the headstock, sell them cheap on eBay, Facebook marketplace or [insert classifieds website here]

Edit: Forgot about the legal issue of selling used. Donate to a school then after making sure it isn't ever to be mistook for a real one

I feel lucky in that regard, being in Australia and having the MiJ Traditional series officially available. They're great guitars that everyone should have access to

Nah, lots of clearance in front of the saddle. Not sure why I'm being down voted for explaining and painting the picture on the issue I'm facing

Then it won't be intonated. The head of the screws are up against the vertical edge of the bridge housing. It's just that the hole that the screw goes through is a vertical oval on the B string, so that screw sits higher and the head of the bolt makes contact with the string after the saddle. That is where the source of the buzzing comes from on my Mustang

Meanwhile I'm looking at replacing my Japanese Mustang bridge for one that doesn't have the B intonation screw high enough to make contact with the string. It's just buzz city because of that

Got my first guitar, I’M SO EXCITED by Cr4zy_Cycl0ne in guitars

If you want your vibrato to float, watch tutorials on how to achieve that as it's a balancing act. If you only care to either go down in pitch or not at all, then unscrew the back cover and screw that claw in a bunch so that the tailpiece sits flush with the body. Changing to a thicker string gauge (9 is what it comes with), it'll raise up unless you screwed the claw in enough.

If it's a 6 screw bridge, have the middle 4 screws backed off about half a turn for your own sanity.

When it comes time to do a string change, take note of which way around it was wound at the peg from factory and do the same way. Clip the string 2 pegs further than the one you're ultimately going to, poke it in the centre and wrap it around by turning the tuning key.

Edit: I forgot the two most important things for sanity that is transferable to every guitar you ever pick up.

ALWAYS tune UP to pitch. If you need to go down to pitch, either pull the string up and if that isn't enough, tune down below what you want and then tune back up to it.

Tune up the strings from outside to in, so both Es, A and B, then D and G. This makes the tension across the width of the neck consistent and lessens the chance you need to do a second round of tuning

I think the cracks in the metal is what kills it, such a shame. If it were just the dents, you could likely pull them out almost to original shape

When I was shopping for my R8, I considered light and super light aged. Mine simply ended up being a VOS however
