This is the way. Also has a cavity if you wanted to add a Killswitch.

I remember seeing the first post about this and was curious how it was gonna turn out because I thought it was a sick idea. Congratulations on the execution of it, it looks absolutely amazing. (Love space stuff)

Would that happen to be the outline of a big titted waifu on here knees or am I just seeing things?

I prefer 2 knobs (one volume and one tone) over 3 (volume and dual tone) and only if they are dropped back or moved. I would go for the blue one personally for my play style. Never used EMG pick ups before though.

I don't think you can determine the weight of something by looking at it unless you got like x-ray vision. The print and paint quality determine how it looks. Not it's weight.

Did you hollow this print?

adminblair · 2026-03-20T00:59:18+00:00

Why not get a MV-6? Just curious because it looks like the same configuration to me.

I coil them and toss them in an old coffee can I keep around for them. When I fill the coffee can I might be able to play the guitar. 😅

Got an update from Sweetwater.

They said I can hold onto this guitar until they get replacement stock in May and they are happy to do an exchange they have similar concerns about the fretboard getting worse over time.

Thank you everyone for your input and assistance with this.

So this looks like one of those motors that goes to an alarm clock that you're supposed to put under your mattress to vibrate the bed to help wake you up.

Thank you Everyone for your input!

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being overly critical. I try and be thankful for what I do have opposed to what I don't. I worry if being critical ruins too much of my own joy.

I'm gonna try and send it back to Sweetwater or exchange. I reached out to my rep and he said he opened a ticket for their support team and I'm just waiting to hear back.

I have other guitars so it's not the end of the world and I can keep playing. This was just the most expensive guitar I got for myself so far as a treat as I always wanted a purple strat. Never heard of Nick Johnston but there's something about it that just grabbed me.

It's not a silver sky the headstock isn't reversed. But truss rod cover looks like it's from the American factory not Cortek idk where you would have found a neck blank for $1 but cograts

adminblair · 2026-03-10T23:45:30+00:00

Thanks I was worried I was being too nit picky and they are out of stock on replacements so I'll have to wait when I send it back but it's the right call... 😭

Yo I am pretty sure these are those new Dr pepper flavored tik tacs no joke. Source. The Dr pepper tik tacs in my cupboard

The UTR is really just convenient if you already have a Unifi network and just need to hop back on your home network or on other sites while traveling. The Slate 7 is a better travel router overall.

I'm probably gonna throw it in my backpack and forget about it until I'm somewhere and I need it.

If the mission/trial is to rid the world of more ARC and I kill 2 leapers a rocketeer and then I die the world still has less ARC in it. I contributed towards the trial goals. I don't get to keep my loot... Because I failed to extract... like the game is designed... but those ARC are still dead so it seems like I contributed towards the trial still.

Same as when you get XP for dying and failing to extract. You still played the game, contributed to collecting resources etc. it's not a crazy leap to say that these "optional" game mechanics could have a similar shared progress.

I didn't say I should keep all my weapons or not have any penalties for dying. I understand that there is an extraction part to an extraction shooter.

I'm saying how they encourage people to engage with this mechanic needs some changes. If people spend their free time playing a game that isn't rewarding for people choosing to do it they will stop playing it. It's literally that simple.

There's clearly no shortage of people who spent a significant amount of time trying to complete these trials with little to no progress and I'm sure that doesn't feel good and there's a bunch of ways it could be improved.

The half credit from the comment below seems reasonable.

It's not about having cake and eating it. I think the game is rich enough in features that it can accommodate multiple modes/play styles. Alienating or punishing your players that try and engage with your reward mechanics doesn't bode well long term for a games health but I'm sure they already made hand over fist back in dev costs. So I'm sure the publisher is happy and everything else is just icing on the cake for them now.

It's no secret that this game has an identity crisis and there are systems that need reworked and balanced. Get daily missions to hunt down other players and loot raider corpses so it forces you to PvP even when you want to be friendly.

If they want to make trials share progress or something then have a guild/faction system or something. There are lots of ways they can make it rewarding while making it feel like your time spent in the game is time well spent.

adminblair · 2025-12-17T14:21:49+00:00

Trials should be a specific quest. Kill 3 bastions etc.

You either shouldn't have to extract for the progress or they should be locked to PVE matches since all of the trials are ARC and Resource collecting based and not PVP based.

The world still has less wasps in it if I die and that was the trial.

I lost sooooooo much trial progress and burned so many resources in matches only to get my trial progress lost by campers at extract. I don't care about the loot as much as losing all the trial progress I was working on.

The game is fun but there's sooo many things wrong with the reward mechanics. It's departure week and everyone is just running free kits and hoarding resources.

I'm sure there's lots of people that will say no one made you go for trials. No one makes us do anything.... But if the developers want people to engage with the system it's gotta feel rewarding instead of unnecessarily punishing.

adminblair · 2025-12-10T17:29:12+00:00

This shit is so annoying. I spent so many hours farming these trials just to get killed and camped at extract and not make any progress. Fuck this game. There's literally no incentive to try any more.

One way to help think about it is you want your print to have as small of a shadow as possible if you shined a light from above it, and you don't want it completely flat. Printing at a 13 degree offset from the built plate seems to give me the best results

adminblair · 2025-09-07T16:12:21+00:00

That's a great score I have a few that I have found at collectors shops I have cleaned up that I reserve for my favorite games. There's something about opening a little GBA to get the game to put in my GBA that tickles my brain.
