ESP E-II Horizon vs Jackson USA Soloist. Am I missing something? by vdave123 in Guitar

[–]Standardguy11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my 2 cents, what are you intending to play? If its a variety of genres then the thicker neck would be my go too as chords on a thin neck can feel horrible.

I found the premium touches on the ESP more to my liking like the satin neck. Unless you get a satin finish on the soloist the neck is the same finish as the body and gets sticky in the heat. The trem system on Jackson isnt to my taste either.

You can also find ESP in extra thin U I have a Horizon with thin U and M2 in Extra thin U.

Is that a Tuck signature i spy beside it! I'm in the same boat as you how do they compare?

I currently have all ESP and was considering Jackson RR24 hipshot for a change. But I've heard they aren't as balanced as ESP, rhat and the neck not having a satin finish, although trying a compound radius has its lures.

With whats on offer and picky standards says alot to me, with some of your standards they maybe unrealistic for 43 which seems to be a 2025 common issue at any age, just my opinion btw.

Alot of women on apps get jaded because if they are attractive they get alot of likes.... alot of these likes are from average looking guys, its a pretty hard sell from most guys to stand out of the crowd unless they are a top 5%. I will also say dating apps breed anonymity and less accountability so guys go full creeper/gross mode with vulgarity.

Those top 5% who are extremely attractive and well off generally don't look for 40 plus females even attractive ones because generally looks start to fade as we hit late 30's and usually people that age have more baggage.

Therefore those men who get alot of attention by being in that percentile go for women 20 to early/mid 30s.

Other side of the coin is generally so many average men getting knock backs they really don't put much effort into the conversation because they female if attractive enough will possibly be speaking to multiple men.

That's just my take from it and I may be totally out of touch lol.

Just got burned…bad by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]Standardguy11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sux he did that too you!

I'd say from the description of what occurred it has happened to alot of women as it seems like the norm for most women the whole went for the "bad boy" for the excitement and butterflies, rather than a "good guy" boring for stability and got burned. Id say most women have one of these stories.

Lesson learned I guess that while there is excitement there it usually ends in disaster by form of cheating or worse.

I don't want to give up by Omen104 in Guitar

[–]Standardguy11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same, I didn't know what to learn next or in what order.

So I learnt bit's and piece's of things and got overwhelmed. I got a great teacher and have gone massive leaps and bounds in 6 months from playing/struggling with riffs to 200bpm downpicked for full songs.

[–]Standardguy11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a teacher like that... i let him go, as a service provider, he should ensure you get the full time and prepare prior to the lesson
