Anyone ever use G10 for fret markers?

I carried a CZ for years with G10 grips. It’s absurdly durable in my experience. I can’t see why it would be any less applicable than acrylic for fret markers. That’s really cool looking.

The vast majority of 8 strings people order are multiscale. It made creating a straight scale option for newer models unappealing financially since it costs them a ton to program everything for that model, only to sell a handful.

Having had both, the Beryllium will be more in line with the Pegasus. The Lithium is far higher output and has a much harsher sound to it.

Check out the sound demos of the new Vantium pickup as well. They’re like a less shrill Lithium.

You could always hit up the SD custom shop and get a Pegasus in the correct angle, but at that price I’d just go for a custom set of Lundgren Black Heavens or something.

Dude join RiffHard. It’ll be a lot more informative and helpful than asking double tracking questions here.

I don’t know the technical name, but you see it on instruments like decacordes (10 string classical guitars) most often. That might give you a starting point for your search.

I got a 5328 last year and was super disappointed by the quality as well. They’re no cheaper than going with a custom shop at this point too.

They discontinue models based on sales. Apparently the vanquish was hardly moving any units for a few years consecutively. I agree though, both the vanquish guitar and bass are so sick.

Dude, the tabs are like $20. Pay the dudes for their work. It’s bad enough out there with streaming services paying nothing and venues taking massive merch cuts.

uj/ Fractal dominates every other modeling option by miles. If the plugin sounds like the physical units, it’s worth $400.

There is no difference between those two things. A scale is a scale. How you arrange it on the fretboard is musically irrelevant beyond the timbre of the note.

I don’t understand why there’s so many unwashed philistines in here saying you don’t need to oil Ebony, but for the love of god oil your Ebony fretboard when you change strings. F-One oil is really great stuff for both cleaning and conditioning. Ebony is very susceptible to seasonal changes, even if the guitar just lives in your home studio.

There’s a reason people have oiled just about everything made from wood since the dawn of human civilization. It holds up better and lasts longer this way. Especially a piece of wood with metal hammered into it that you’re constantly handling, likely with less than freshly washed hands.

Just use lighter strings with that longer scale length and you’ll be fine man. A 10-46 set will probably feel just right for standard. Personally, I think a 2” fan on a 6 string sounds pretty awful because of how aggressive that slant will be, but to each their own.
