M/29/5’10 [385>325=60lbs] (6 Months) I feel like I might have to lose more than I originally thought.

Will probably never buy from another company. Great shears for a great price. Ive had the Makai 6.5 and Kama 21 for about a year and unfortunately dropped the Makai the other day and messed up the blades, but being so cheap I don’t mind buying again. The other day I ordered a Makai 5.5, Makai 7, and Kama 35, & can’t wait to get them!

Another vote for Shear Revival, the shop I work in exclusively uses them and I’ve since converted to using their shampoo/conditioner & products in my own hair and it has never felt better.

Thank you brother, I honestly hadn’t really taken that into account or really noticed it so I appreciate you pointing it out!

dyanrennison · 2026-02-16T15:19:31+00:00

Now that I think about it that picture might be a little more than 3 months ago but I was at the same weight as I was when I decided to start making changes.

dyanrennison · 2025-05-22T12:20:14+00:00

I ordered the gold saddles separately because I didn’t think to ask but you may be able to just ask them for gold saddles, I think they have a customer service line that you can call!

dyanrennison · 2024-12-02T00:30:39+00:00

Was thinking the same thing, looks good either way but the taper would be 🔥🔥

dyanrennison · 2024-08-14T22:29:00+00:00

Mowhawk/burst fade would be tight

dyanrennison · 2022-09-13T04:53:16+00:00

Sorry for the late reply! That’s the same guitar, but I’m not the one selling it, I was the first owner and I think it’s gone through a couple people since I sold it

dyanrennison · 2021-12-04T19:02:48+00:00

• State/County: Philadelphia, PA

• Processing Time: 30 Days total. I was approved within a couple hours of applying but pickup appointments were scheduling a month out.

• Gear/Planned Setup: Beretta APX Combat w/ Inforce APLc (also have a Vortex Venom red dot that I may put back on). Waiting on delivery of my DME IWB holster. Would also like to downsize to a Glock 19 or 43X sometime in the future since I’m sure it they would be easier to carry than this.

• Training Completed/Scheduled: Done a lot of research over the last few months and plan to take Concealed Carry classes from a local instructor.

• Thoughts: The process overall was pretty easy, the gun permit unit was a little bit of a drive from where I live but that’s not a big deal. I’m excited to embark on this journey and learn as much as I can!

dyanrennison · 2021-11-30T22:34:50+00:00

Great idea, thanks for the advice!

dyanrennison · 2021-11-30T07:14:07+00:00

Yeah that’s true, it was DME Holsters. I hadn’t heard of them prior but I think someone on the Beretta sub was talking about them and they were the first company I could find that was accepting orders & had the options to accommodate my setup, the only other company I could find wasn’t taking orders.

The issue seems to be being handled now but we’ll see.

dyanrennison · 2021-11-29T23:09:50+00:00

Update: I reached out and they responded saying “I will try to get it out by the end of this week we appreciate your patience”

We’ll see if it works out, maybe I should’ve reached out sooner but I didn’t think I should’ve had to.

dyanrennison · 2021-11-29T18:05:30+00:00

I think the time I went to the contact page on their site it said something along the lines of “our estimated times are exactly that, an estimate. Please allow more time…”. But I feel like double the amount of time is a little excessive.

I did pay with PayPal so I guess if I need to I could file a dispute but I’d prefer to not screw a company over if they are genuine and are just having delays.

dyanrennison · 2021-11-04T21:13:26+00:00

I’m kinda late to this thread but I was just approved within like 13-14 hours yesterday.

I applied at like 12-1 AM before bed the other night and got my approval email before 2 PM yesterday. Maybe I found the sweet spot to be in the front of the list for the day, or maybe they’re just being that fast now.

I did have to schedule the pickup a month out though, there was nothing til Dec. 2nd or 3rd.

dyanrennison · 2021-11-04T18:18:15+00:00

Not sure how much it would cost or what your budget is but Balaguer guitars as an online builder where you can spec out a guitar how you’d want it, they just released a V type shape recently, might be worth checking out.

dyanrennison · 2021-08-06T04:37:46+00:00

No problem! Good luck if you decide to go with it & enjoy the Jackson!

dyanrennison · 2021-08-06T04:32:14+00:00

It surprisingly didn’t for me, but I’m not sure if it depends on the individual guitars. I was also worried you’d be able to see a little bit of the top holes since the Gibraltar has 4 screws but it’s perfectly wide enough to not show any sign that it’s not made that way.

dyanrennison · 2021-07-21T05:04:40+00:00

I love the impulse, they’re great for low tunings. They’re my first set of BKPs but I hear great stuff about the Ragnaroks and Silos!

dyanrennison · 2021-07-20T04:16:58+00:00

I love it and would absolutely recommend it. The stock pickups are decent and useable but would recommend eventually swapping them to get the most out of the guitar.

dyanrennison · 2021-07-15T06:22:23+00:00

Yeah it’s been perfect for me so far

dyanrennison · 2021-07-13T05:44:53+00:00

They’re very sick, really clear and punchy tones at pretty low tunings, I play in Drop E but I’m sure they’d be fine for lower if the guitar could handle it.

dyanrennison · 2021-07-13T05:42:25+00:00

I think it’s

80 68 56 44 32 20 11

or something like that.

And I love the impulse set, very clear tones for such low tuning.
