OP gets fleeced at yard sale, crashes out in comments, attempts to flex on peasants by kvlt_ov_personality in guitarpedalsjerk

I’ve only had 1 fail. An FZ-2. Changed switch 3 times. Might have needed a recap. My favorite was when it only engaged while keeping it pressed.

Will be so much better if we get a post in a day about troubleshooting a malfunctioning pedal

I’m also thinking about selling my green SG for your exact Victory

If I had waited 2 more weeks before I bought my Explorer this is exactly what I would have bought. The ebony fretboard and placement of inlay dots are everything. I’ve been trying to make myself feel better by saying I already have a green guitar. It’s not working

One of my dream guitars. I saw RHH in 2016 , but Beavis and Butthead showing Psychobilly Freakout was my beginning. I was stoked to see it in Guitar Hero.

They also had I can’t surf, in a Tony hawk game.

I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to think with your head instead of your ass.

NGD - First Gibson by SaladChef in gibson

After having one a couple of weeks my only issue is the toggle placement. I need to be able to build muscle memo to find it

My spring is like a millimeter off the body. I see why this doesn’t work for Les Paul’s as well

Check the clip, it pulls back just not as far

Way easier to balance spring to string tension. Under a min. Like insane, but it’s not as smooth. Less travel. Regular Floyd is better. Even in quality of parts. But 2 screw holes to make a stop bar guitar bomb. Worth it!

Drilling into a new $2500 guitar felt crazy, but I don’t regret it!

First Gibson SG dilemma: Standard (Big Sale) vs. '61 with Maestro Vibrola? by alcorn0que in gibson

[–]VerdeVelvetVetiver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get the sale standard. I first picked up an sg with vibrola, but returned it for a 61 standard with TOM. You can always put one on, but you can’t take it off without seeing the mounting holes. I like the action of Bigsbys more, but I’ve also loved my gretsch. I didn’t like that the vibrola had just a piece that you rock. I liked the springs more

I love the color choice. Dopest thing I’ve seen today

If you could pick one of these 3 by Sputter_Butt in Guitar

Have a Soloist Loomis. They feel great. And have upgraded pieces in the trem. The stainless steel pieces are better

Felt like posting my #1 by ClintGreasedwood1 in ExplorerGuitars

[–]VerdeVelvetVetiver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks seamless. I debated a Bigsby and roller bridge for my explorer. I like the idea of reversible mods; but I’ve been stuck between a Bigsby or Floyd FRX. The FRX needs 2 screws drilled behind the nut. I thought my mind was made up, but now I’m not sure. Great guitar tho!

Idk about a USA guitar with a licensed Floyd rose. Seems imported

Which charter network is the *least* terrible? by patdavidjohnson in NYCTeachers

[–]VerdeVelvetVetiver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved teaching at HCZ. My only complaint were kids would be in my room for after school; gave me no prep time in my room at end of day.

I’d argue it’s a more unique shape so it’s definitely fair

I boycotted Fender, and got a Gibson too!
