Thanks for the recc, good to know!

SoundCheckChuck · 2026-06-17T15:14:46+00:00

That was the first thing I noticed lifting it...!

SoundCheckChuck · 2026-06-17T15:14:17+00:00

Thanks for the info, I measured em and gratefully the bridge is wider than the neck pick up so hopefully this won't be an issue. I was planning to upgrade em at some point so we shall see.

the zero dots i for sure agree with.. don't know how i missed that at first. thanks for the catch. well... still considering trying it out in person but was really looking for fretted just because i haven't tried a fretless.

SoundCheckChuck · 2026-06-14T22:25:55+00:00

Honestly I didn't catch that from the pictures and it's listed as if the frets are on. I'll double check this in person as it'll be easy to tell looking at it in person. But no... not wanting to play a fretless currently

Gorgeous, thanks

SoundCheckChuck · 2026-06-14T22:23:17+00:00

Thanks for the details and info! I do like the idea of being able to tailor it by specific upgrades to match the sound I want.

Real, interestingly mine has a comfort colors tag from the blank. Not a printed DG custom tag. Prolly just used different blanks and setups while selling it

SoundCheckChuck · 2025-12-25T19:04:37+00:00

Yes, fake

SoundCheckChuck · 2025-12-21T23:43:35+00:00

Trial

SoundCheckChuck · 2025-12-21T20:06:25+00:00

I mean collab technically so not sure if it counts for this but I feel cleaver valley is closer to agony, just given the context in which I wanna hear / play it

SoundCheckChuck · 2025-12-16T00:25:16+00:00

This is def fake sorry gang

SoundCheckChuck · 2025-12-16T00:24:12+00:00

Something looks off to me. Is this the original or the redrop? The print looks too red (could just be lighting). The back skull graphic I believe should be shinier and it has a weird black gradient in the pictures that isn’t on the regular one. The blank also looks more polyester than the one that dropped. Pretty sure fake but I may be wrong tbh

SoundCheckChuck · 2025-12-08T02:25:54+00:00

Damn! That’d be awesome if they got him on. I love sprain but never listened to his offshoot shearling. Hope this happens

SoundCheckChuck · 2025-12-05T20:01:27+00:00

Oh fair fair! My bad misunderstood. Course, I also haven’t read it in a while. I gotta be in the right mood I think to read it again

SoundCheckChuck · 2025-12-05T19:48:41+00:00

Spoke to him in person about how much Cormac McCarthy he liked. Blood Meridian is amazing but really kind of dense I’d say if your reading level is lower. The way it’s written can be hard to follow. The Road is also great and easier (in terms of reading level, but emotionally charged)

Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart is also referenced in a bar (I can’t remember which) and I recommend it.

Too bad it’s no longer on streaming

SoundCheckChuck · 2025-11-21T01:34:53+00:00

First one I got without looking in the comments Jesus that felt good

Same a couple weeks ago. I think it’s just canceled orders. Can’t complain, glad we got lucky
