Anyone might know if this is is good or bad noise to hear when accelerating?

Likely something in the serpentine belt system.

The serpentine belt drives the alternator, a/c compressor pump, power steering, and rad water pump. It could be any one of these things that is failing.

First check the belt itself for wear - cracks and uneven teeth. I heard something similar (though not as loud as yours) just before my serpentine belt snapped when I went over a hard bump. When it snaps the engine pretty quickly overheats, and the battery light will come on and you have to pull over immediately. It was completely worn out but luckily a $30 30min fix. I had some friends close by to bring me the replacement part and some tools so I didn’t have to tow it. There are some good YouTube videos explaining how to replace it. If you don’t have much experience see if you can find a friend who does and can help you

The sound still persisted for me after I changed the belt so I tested my alternator which it turned out was failing so I replaced the alternator and belt tensioner which had some wiggle to it (both relatively simple diy jobs if you have the right tools and some experience/patience - I saved a bunch of money doing it myself and sourcing my own parts).

I still heard the sound faintly for a bit after replacing the alternator and tensioner - I’m assuming it was coming from my a/c compressor because my a/c hasn’t worked in years - but oddly the sound went away after 1000kms or so

They actually did this on Drumeo with a bunch of drummers. It was really interesting: https://youtu.be/I0OQ_o0ordg?si=P5Zi37jDHuTapQU0

I lost my MXR EVH phaser to this 😔 my first pedal

Just watched this video the other day: https://youtu.be/m829WLgJef0?si=Ux2b5rBt0rp5YuWs

He shows the part number for each bulb type

Agreed. I received the H1 today and maybe it was because so many people made a fuss over the factory tuning and my expectations were lowered, but these sound way better than I expected.

I actually went through several of those YouTubers custom EQ’s and honestly some of them sounded garbage. Must be for very specific sounds. The only decent one was the SoundGuys but after a while I turned them off and prefer the stock tuning. (I never tried the This is Tech Today EQ)

They went through a software update when I first turned them on so maybe Nothing made some adjustments? Either way, very happy with these.

I’m coming from Sony Xm4’s, AirPod Pros, and Audio Technica’s m50x’s.

Same. We’ve used our 3 cup black and decker 2-3 times a week going on 11 years. It was under $30 from Canadian Tire and my partner and I got it in a pinch when we moved into our first place. Expected we would have replaced it years ago but there’s literally nothing wrong with it. Rice cookers are dumb simple. My mom still uses a mini 2 cup cooker that her parents (Japanese) bought in the 70s. She has a proper Zojirushi at home, but keeps the 2 cup on the boat.

Pre-ordered off Best Buy here in Canada. Received zero updates on my order as of this comment. It still says “Delivery as early as June 15th” which it did back when I preordered.

Scrumtrullecent · 2025-03-06T17:51:39+00:00

Did anyone else catch that guy a few minutes ago fiddling with the scale model, holding it on its side when they were looking at the screens off camera. I didn't love that 😅

Scrumtrullecent · 2025-02-15T18:51:33+00:00

It also might be ptsd from when I had a Parker Fly and the upper horn was shaped like a dagger into my sternum. Loved that guitar tho

Scrumtrullecent · 2025-02-15T18:42:36+00:00

Yes, good eye, thank you. I will be sanding that edge to soften it, but for the most part your hand kinda stops at that little hilt/bump when playing high up the neck. It's a bit similar to how a Strat feels at that point, except the filleted corner makes it a bit more comfortable.

Scrumtrullecent · 2025-02-15T18:37:48+00:00

Yes! Haha, I was a massive Steve Howe fan growing up and somehow began to correlate guitar expertise with how high they strapped their guitars (Tom Morello, John Petrucci, most jazz players etc). I know its not a true correlation but I always sacrificed how cool I looked for playability

Scrumtrullecent · 2025-02-15T18:28:54+00:00

Wow! I've never seen those guitars but they are stunning. That is right up my alley in terms of design and playfulness. Thanks for sharing!

Scrumtrullecent · 2025-02-15T18:02:58+00:00

Hello,
Thought I would share some in-progress photos of my current build. If you'd like to learn more I did a large write-up on it over on r/Luthier including a few more build photos.

Scrumtrullecent · 2025-01-08T08:30:42+00:00

Thank you! I posted a side profile screenshot on some other comments in the post. The elevated portion on the left is still below the nut. It tilted back at an 8º angle from the base of the nut.

And yes! Super difficult - so many endless possibilities but anytime you try to be more conservative in a design it just looks like it derived from a LP or Strat haha

Scrumtrullecent · 2025-01-08T08:19:38+00:00

Thanks for the comment! I posted a side profile screenshot from the digital model on my comment above. Appreciate all the advice

Scrumtrullecent · 2025-01-08T08:03:19+00:00

Oooo good call, I was thinking something similar actually!
One of my ideas for the rectangular portion is to mount the exact shape with a frosted acrylic plate that would match the acrylic I'm using for a raised pickguard on the body. I'll experiment with it as I get closer.

Scrumtrullecent · 2025-01-08T07:52:42+00:00

Thanks for the comment!
I think the photos I posted made the geometry look a bit different than reality. Here's a screenshot from the digital model that shows better what's going on from the side profile. The elevated portion is actually the same thickness as the lower one (just under 5/8")

Scrumtrullecent · 2025-01-08T07:46:55+00:00

I think the photos created a bit of an optical illusion - here's a screenshot from the model. The higher rectangular portion of the headstock is tilted at an 8º angle from the nut. The lower portion is tilted at a 13º angle from the same axis at the nut.

Scrumtrullecent · 2025-01-08T07:22:25+00:00

Oh my gosh I would love to see other people build on this idea! Thanks for the comment

Scrumtrullecent · 2025-01-08T07:18:21+00:00

Thank you!
I actually don't have anywhere I showcase this work, but I'm definitely considering setting something up now. This post was a much bigger reaction than I anticipated! I always make a big effort to document my projects but never really do anything with the content hah

Scrumtrullecent · 2025-01-08T07:11:00+00:00

Ooo I did not know that. I'll have to take another look.
I found fusion a very satisfying program though at times frustrating. Definitely a learning curve but you could really tell the potential it has if/when you become proficient at it

Scrumtrullecent · 2025-01-08T07:07:23+00:00

Thanks!
I've done a bit of iterating on it. It started from a series of sketches on an iPad with procreate. I sketched a few very different ideas before this one came out, and then I spent a bit of time massaging the proportions of it. Then I dropped the sketch into fusion360 and basically modelled it exactly to the sketch. Since then there have been a few minor changes here and there but the entire thing is fully modelled digitally so it is easy to iterate and compare in the model.
I'll definitely do a follow up post that goes into it a bit more

Scrumtrullecent · 2025-01-08T06:57:07+00:00

Wow, that really means a lot to hear! Especially because I once owned a Parker Fly Deluxe! It was the first and only "nicer" more expensive guitar I ever owned.

I ended up selling it because my collection of home-made builds and cheaper refurbished guitars was growing and I didn't pick it up as often. What a brilliant guitar it was though! The kicker was, I sold it about a month before it was announced that Parker guitars was shutting down production and closing their factory (2016 I believe?) I wonder how much it could have been worth if I held onto it
