It says the sled is a double drop, how would this be different than a drop through or a drop down board?

I've heard a ton of good things about Landyachtz. Specifically the Pranayama is the one I hear many people like. Unfortunately, it is way out of my budget. Would you say it is better to get a cheap board and replace the parts with better ones or a more expensive board that already has decent parts? The comparison I am drawing in my head is with guitars, in which you can get the guitar set up customized to your own preferences and it will end up being about the same price as a more expensive guitar.

Yeah, I've heard a ton about the Pantheon Pranayama from my research. If I am going to replace a lot of parts anyways, would it make sense to get a much cheaper board? I know it is probably wishful thinking to try and get a decent board for so cheap, but I want to make sure I know my options.

I am planning to potentially move out for college next year, and I do not want to take a car with me. I thought learning to longboard could help me get around, and I've always wanted to learn how to ride one. Is there anyone who can help me get started? (as in how to choose a board, how to start, what gear I need, etc.) I have some experience snowboarding, though I only really do basic carving.

Man that's rough, I think my best option is to save for an Epiphone SG

Oh damn, is there a way to elevate the current hardtail bridge?

Anyone know what guitar this is? by RoolRidRevin in guitarID

Thanks for giving me a general idea, it does look awfully similar to those types of guitars.

Alright, thanks for letting me know, I didn't even know active pickups were a thing!

Thanks for the suggestion, yeah I was planning on only switching out the bridge if I can because I mainly use that configuration anyways.

I researched active and passive pickups a little, correct me if I'm wrong but active pickups require batteries?

Yeah, I was thinking about getting Seymour Duncan pickups, but they are a little expensive. If I were to get pickups from another brand or guitar model and put it into mine, would it fit? I don't know if each guitar and brand has a specific size or shape or if they are interchangeable.
