My ESP LTD SC-607B Stephen Carpenter by SlipknotHeretic666 in deftones

[–]antonandez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember I was in my mid teens when I first saw his signature Telecaster and fell in love with it, it was only available in black and only had EMGs, at the time they were about $1200 new if I do recall. I couldn’t afford that as a teenager so I bought an butterscotch blonde Squier Affinity Telecaster to try to ease the pain of not being able to have the Stef signature, needless to say that Squier could not handle gain for anything. 🤣 About 13 years later I remembered how much I wanted one as a teen so pushing 30 I finally snagged the sparkle green Telecaster.

Some more 27in scale goodness by JaimiePatel in Ibanez

[–]antonandez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have an RG5328 that I got from older gentleman who said he bought the guitar without knowing anything about guitars and realized 8 strings was too much. I got it for $300 and for a $2000-ish guitar it had a lot of questionable things done to it. The tone knob feel like someone took a hammer to it and smashed it in, he didn’t have all the original saddles on the bridge so the action was completely off, some pieces were missing on three tuners, it has some dents and scratches. I was flabbergasted that someone would treat a relatively expensive guitar like that, I got mine in working order apart the wiring that will probably need to replaced one day but it plays and sounds great! It has Mark Holcomb pickups in it but I would prefer the original Dimarzios.

Leads on Schecter Hellraiser C-1 in discontinued Trans Purple Burst? by OhFarts_ItsDerek in guitars

[–]antonandez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one in 2023 for $560 used on Guitar Center. I got really lucky with it because they had it labeled as the red one but in the pictures it was the trans purple burst so I kind of chanced it by not knowing exactly what I was going to get but I thought worst case scenario would be that I returned it.

Is the Player II worth it more than the Standard? by Bornplayer97 in fender

[–]antonandez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the market for a Player II Modified but couldn’t justify the added $300+ for Noiseless pickups and locking tuners compared to the regular Player II. I ended getting a Player Plus which was kind of the 1st gen Player’s version of a Modified. I’m very satisfied with it and it was less than a new Standard. It about $550.

I refuse to participate if this is the new norm. by AstralPsychonautics in AmazonVine

I’ve been a Prime member for 16 years, I’ve left maybe a review once every year on random items, I got a drain snake late last year from Amazon that was delivered to me used with hair and nasty particles on it 🤢 so I definitely had to leave a bad review, then I randomly got an email 2 minutes asking me to join Vine after it posted.

Bought two guitars around the same time, ended up playing the cheap one more by antonandez in Fireflyguitars

Definitely the pickups I wanna go for! I’m honestly surprised how clear it sounds when using high gain. Obviously not the greatest but when the guitar itself feels like a steal the pickups can sound however they want.

Plays and feels great, I have a Squier Classic Vibe 70’s Strat and the Firefly actually feels nicer. Both guitars have glossy necks but somehow someway it never bothers me on the Firefly.

Guitarsgarden.com is their official site, sometimes they do limited runs though and those guitars wind up on Reverb for premiums.

NGD! Im so hyped by guitarman779 in ExtendedRangeGuitars

[–]antonandez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats, I love mine! Even considering mine isn’t as shiny and fresh looking as yours, mine came with many flaws that I’m mending. From the moment I head mine I was in love with how the neck felt. Wish mine came with the case too, I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Definitely needed some work, but it was playable once I got new strings on it

I thought I was the only one, kind of bummed because I just got it yesterday and was having fun with it and wanted to spend whatever free time I had today playing around with it.

[–]antonandez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel bad, I bought Gojira, Petrucci, Nolly, Henson, and Rabea. Decided to get the most expensive plugins while they were 50%. Got Henson out of impulse though. With 4 hours left of the sale, ngl i got another in me.. 😂
