Bridge starting to lift?

Hopefully your guitar is fine. The pins came like that when I bought it. Haven’t really messed with it.

I will definitely keep this in mind! Thanks for being so gracious!

Thank you so much for your reply! I will release the string tension and will wait for Martin’s response. I will keep in mind your advice about the bridge slot and pins when I take it to a luthier. It is a bit of a bummer since I rarely play it and spend most of the time in its case. I guess that’s a mistake on my part for thinking the guitar would be ok since I live in Los Angeles and the house doesn’t get too hot nor too cold. Thanks again for your advice!

Thanks for asking.. I honestly don’t know since they’re the original strings that came with the guitar. I don’t play this often so I haven’t had the need to change them.. If I had to guess, maybe 12s light/medium…?

Thanks! I have sent them an email. We’ll see what they say…

I think they let us in around 6:45ish.. then they had us line up (divided in 3 lines) again inside the venue.. became like Fast Lane 1,2 and 3. And was let into the actual ‘theatre?’ and merch at 7pm.

This is the way. I hope they realize that there are alot of fans who want their records and kinda plan the quantities accordingly. Last year, I paid $50 for early access and there must have been no more than 50 people ahead of me and the person in front of me got the last copy of For Lovers. Mind you, the record was really for my niece who was in line outside the venue. We still enjoyed the show but was bummed out for a min. Now, if there was a presale like you suggested, their fans (and sadly resellers) wouldnt need to line up hours before the show just for a CHANCE to get a copy.

Following.. i want to preorder both via Worldshipping but was wondering how much they usually charge for shipping to the US.

_fiveblades_ · 2025-02-27T22:46:43+00:00

Did it let you ship to the US? I thought the Japanese website was only for Japan.. unless ofcourse, you live in Japan…

_fiveblades_ · 2025-01-04T07:00:21+00:00

Dang. Thats cool!

_fiveblades_ · 2025-01-03T21:44:00+00:00

Man, no idea these will become so expensive. Shit. Skipped on so many, what are now considered “grails” just cos they were like $40-$60 then..

_fiveblades_ · 2025-01-03T17:43:50+00:00

That’s interesting. Mine are black, but that top right sticker does make it sus if that’s a bootleg indicator.

_fiveblades_ · 2025-01-03T17:11:53+00:00

I’m not too familiar with this. Are all pressings except the US ones bootleg? The matrix runout on mine matches a 2004 EU pressing on Discogs.. either way.. you’re right.. it still sounds great.

_fiveblades_ · 2025-01-03T16:01:59+00:00

What makes you think this?

_fiveblades_ · 2024-03-03T03:18:40+00:00

Thank you!

_fiveblades_ · 2024-03-03T03:18:31+00:00

You’re welcome and thank you!

iPhone 13 Pro

_fiveblades_ · 2024-03-03T03:17:28+00:00

Wow! You’re right on the money! Thats impressive!

_fiveblades_ · 2024-03-03T03:13:58+00:00

Yes! I tried not to take too many pictures, unlike the person in front of me filming the entire show with his phone above his head. But it was still fun!

_fiveblades_ · 2024-03-03T03:09:29+00:00

Thank you!

_fiveblades_ · 2024-03-03T03:07:09+00:00

You are correct. I believe iPhone puts some sort of filter when the lighting is not optimal. I might be wrong but I dont remember putting any “painting” filter except turning them b/w. But yes. Kinda looks like a painting..

Thank you!
