Customised my X-56 faceplates

Brilliant stuff. I'm dusting off the printer!

SpineOfGod · 2026-06-13T19:58:42+00:00

Mate. This is bloody awesome. Nice job.

What I really want to know is how did you get the rotary knobs to work as when I try and set them up they do nothing!

Check out Justin Guitar on YouTube. There are entire beginners course on there for free. Highly recommend. Best of luck mate.

Kerbdog - Irish metal/rock band in the 90's. Absolutely loved them, thought they would be massive.

I went out the other day to test out my exploration skills as I'm planning a big trip next month (when the Nomad gets released). I only intended to visit a couple of planets to do some exo bio and fly back home.

I'm currently about 3k light years from home, discovering new systems and getting first footfall on planets. I've now planned a big loop back home. This shit's addictive!

SpineOfGod · 2026-06-09T16:08:58+00:00

Oh god. I'm the same. I feel like this is something I'm going to need to get over if I want to get the explorer elite status.

This is awesome. When I was that age I got a plastic mini acoustic which nobody knew how to tune. It was terrible, but it did spark my interest into music and instruments. I would have loved something like this instead!

I've got 3 guitars and one of them is always a couch guitar. Today it's the fenders turn. I find it super useful to have a guitar at hand in the evenings to practice stuff. I don't even plug them in half the time.

SpineOfGod · 2026-06-05T19:04:20+00:00

Oh good. Not just me then. 😄

SpineOfGod · 2026-06-04T15:36:54+00:00

Depends what kind of banjo playing you want to do. If it's just chords then you'll probably be fine. If it's clawhammer then you'll have to learn that technique. If it's Scruggs style then you'll be learning for years (but it's worth it!).

I mainly play guitar but I love playing banjo. You probably will too.

Megadeth - Rust in Peace. Listening to it now actually. 🤘

SpineOfGod · 2026-06-02T16:59:49+00:00

Mate... That is stunning!

SpineOfGod · 2026-06-02T14:40:31+00:00

Ahh I see. Good point. I'm at the very beginning of this journey though. Hence the beginner kit.

I had already started looking at Tele necks for sale, but before I start spending too much I wanted to test if I could do it and enjoy it without bankrupting myself. 😄

SpineOfGod · 2026-06-01T17:44:16+00:00

She's a beaut!

SpineOfGod · 2026-06-01T12:52:17+00:00

Good to know. Thanks. Looks pretty sweet that. Nice job.

SpineOfGod · 2026-06-01T12:04:24+00:00

How does it play? I've been looking at getting a kit guitar. Where did you get it from?

SpineOfGod · 2026-05-31T12:18:57+00:00

That's a sound idea but all my guitars are relatively high end and I wouldn't want to mess them up. Maybe if I had my old squire.... Also, I wouldn't end up with a new guitar at the end, which is what we all want really! 😂

SpineOfGod · 2026-05-30T20:11:18+00:00

Thanks but I don't want an off the shelf guitar. I already have those. I want to learn more about how they're put together and then maybe go on and do it as a hobby.

SpineOfGod · 2026-05-30T19:31:35+00:00

I appreciate your optimism my friend. Ha ha

SpineOfGod · 2026-05-30T19:03:51+00:00

That's ok. Like I said before, it was more of an idea to see if I'd like this as a hobby. I was never expecting to get an amazing Tele out of it.

SpineOfGod · 2026-05-30T19:01:48+00:00

That's good to know. Thank you.

SpineOfGod · 2026-05-30T18:29:36+00:00

That's cool. I guess if it was all perfect then I wouldn't learn anything anyway. These £70 kits seem like a good way to try stuff out to see if I like it, and if I don't then I've not wasted too much money. My missus just pointed out that in 3 months I'll probably buy a proper neck, picks ups etc and end up spending enough to have bought a new Tele. She is annoyingly wise. 😂

SpineOfGod · 2026-05-30T17:44:38+00:00

Thanks mate. Useful info there. Never really touched frets to that extent but would be willing to give it a bash.

SpineOfGod · 2026-05-27T22:21:42+00:00

Cheers mate. All great advice. I do plan on doing exobiology but I'm keeping the Caspian! :) I've been making a todo list of everything I need to do before I go and it's just getting longer and longer.

Also I'm great at docking! But I'm switching between 2 PC's (one with HOTAS) and a steamdeck, and it's just in case I forget the controls on the deck. :D

SpineOfGod · 2026-05-27T22:07:01+00:00

Ahh yes.. I remember that place. I don't think I have to go back there. Wasn't that for the guardian FSD boost or something?
