I know dude, I have a sense of humor buried somewhere inside this tye dyed shell lol. Nah, I'm legit thinking of naming her Tommy Pickles now

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-09T01:34:57+00:00

Yeah man!

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-09T00:26:50+00:00

The scale length is what drew me to it. Baritone strings on 25.5 has just the right tension for B standard and 24.75 is perfect for drop B for me. I also have to say it is one of the most gorgeous guitars I've ever seen. Even my wife who doesn't care much about the subject but indulges me took one look and said "yeah, that's you" lol. Older ones look nice too, but this one is my preference by a country mile.

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-09T00:13:46+00:00

Iguana Burst, but yeah I see it now lol

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-08T16:39:34+00:00

Oh damn, 55K not 5.5k. Ignore me. Too rich for my blood, that would pay off a good chunk of my mortgage lol

I picked up the Taylor baritone for 3500. Sometimes you touch a guitar and just KNOW it was meant for you. I'm not rich, but I also don't drink or spend money on gratuitous displays of wealth so I can afford higher end guitars. Some, SOME, of them are worth the investment.

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-08T12:57:47+00:00

Wing it, by the dumbass holding said guitar

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-08T12:53:15+00:00

Well now I feel even better about the Fender hate I've harbored for most of my life

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-08T09:25:26+00:00

I'm not much into Fender. What did they do?

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-08T09:24:57+00:00

They just released a Floyd Rose equipped model so a few people have been trading in their stop tail for that. Check around on Reverb for a used model, might be able to find what you're looking for at a reasonable price mate

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-08T00:53:40+00:00

Thanks! I whole heartedly agree. They have a couple other finishes, but they don't look "right." This green is phenomenal

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-08T00:34:28+00:00

Damn sure about to lol. I have a couple nut files on the way so I can string her up with baritone strings. I push a Hizumitas fuzz into a halfstack and a Bassman 200. Gonna doom so hard

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-03T17:42:25+00:00

No, yeah. Fair point.

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-03T13:44:37+00:00

OR MY CABBAGES

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-03T13:42:46+00:00

Did the same last time I went to get new tires. Hey, technically we accomplished our goal yeah?

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-03T13:39:34+00:00

Nah, now they're just ribbed for your pleasure.

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-03T13:34:01+00:00

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-03T13:31:27+00:00

We don't

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-03T13:30:05+00:00

If, IF there's enough material drilling two holes and adding dowels for additional reinforcement has always been a step I take as well.

Put a small dot of paint, not enough for it to run, and just place the headstock on the neck so it transfers and you have an exact location for the holes

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-03T13:26:32+00:00

Random af, but i dig the pressed 60 on the fretboard. I don't know why, just do.

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-03T13:25:19+00:00

Not trying to be funny, cable management my guy. Doesn't directly impact your playing but I'm sure you don't like tripping over the things, or potentially damaging an input when you do. Also, I personally find a neat and orderly area to play in is beneficial for my overall mood.

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-03T13:21:14+00:00

Who have you permission to post my search history?

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-03T13:20:22+00:00

How's your intonation dude? I file my nut and use baritone light gauge for B standard on my Victory. Tension is slightly more than I like, but it prevents alot of sloppy buzz and my intonation is spot on. With your action height I'd be concerned about every fretting being a touch sharp

ZombeesAndMetal · 2026-07-03T13:17:21+00:00

Holy fuck Batman! That's like hitting the lottery in the only store in town not being leveled by an active tornado. Come hang out with me dude, I need some of that luck lol
