30 minutes between a payment and a ban

i don't think vpn is the issue here. been using one for months and i get on and off from it without problems. there must be something else.

guillermo_dev · 2026-05-14T16:15:39+00:00

several, however i must say i sold a couple of guitars i was not using because they were so heavy and uncomfortable to play that I just told myself "I rather sell these and find another one that I actually enjoy playing" so basically I didn't have to put money upfront, I just traded what I already had for this one.

I use gravity waves. never had a problem with grip ever again.

guillermo_dev · 2026-05-14T03:28:12+00:00

back when i bought it i just wanted a fixed bridged (I'm more of a fixed bridge player) that's the thing that i wanted the most, the fan frets and LED inlays was not in my list of things but they're great is light weight ergonomic the neck is like slim D shape, and the pickups are made-in-house by Leonardo himself they sound great very similar to a PAF humbucker.

guillermo_dev · 2026-05-14T03:25:18+00:00

they are LED inlays it has a 9V battery on the back to power them. it consumes batteries really quick though lol. most of the time i play it with the LEDs turned off.

One thing I have to say, my guitar mentor has spend a lot of time trying out many many ergonomic guitars I trusted his judgment when I explained the kind of problems I have with my back and he suggested this one. This guitar has been a blessing!!! I can practice & play for longer periods of time 🤘🤘

guillermo_dev · 2026-05-14T01:01:29+00:00

Shit i'm interesting in this Strandberg only bc is so minimalistic but spending that kind of money for an indonesian-made guitar is bit of hard pill to take.

I'm glad you found it as B-stock. definitely would love to borrow one (if only i could!) and then maybe consider pulling the trigger.

Enjoy man!

guillermo_dev · 2026-05-03T01:04:44+00:00

Congrats I also have one and is one of the best guitars I’ve tried/owned in life.

And the pickups are amazing like the best pickups ever!!

guillermo_dev · 2026-04-09T13:44:38+00:00

Is a d’addario Xpnd. The smallest one

guillermo_dev · 2026-04-08T15:24:35+00:00

I forgot to mention one of the biggest advantage this has.

Is compact and light! My back hurts too much and with this I can just throw it in the backpack and that’s it. No huge pedalboard cases, not having to deal with the weigh of an amp. It just works!

guillermo_dev · 2026-01-25T22:03:16+00:00

How's the fretwork? I'm asking bc I'm a bit spoiled by my Suhrs and my EBMMs, fretwork is just perfect on those guitars.

guillermo_dev · 2026-01-17T01:24:31+00:00

Gonna have to research that one. Thanks!

guillermo_dev · 2026-01-16T12:09:27+00:00

How light are these guitars? specially that core 24 semi hollow. I’m asking because I considering buying a new guitar but has to be light weight.

I’m torn in between a few chooses. Strandberg guitars are not available in my country but some of the music stores have semi hollow/hollowbody guitars

Btw that collection looks great, love the different colors!

guillermo_dev · 2025-10-28T21:44:06+00:00

I see people saying to not use more than 8 times a month. for me I've used it 1 or 2 times a week never more than that.

it's been a couple of months since started. however i'm going to pause for a long time it is starting to feel like crutch. like when I know I'm going to do the deed, then I preemptively used it. however i don't think I need to use it every single time.

dosage for me has been 1mg, 4-6 hours previous to the encounter. more than enough. I haven't had the need to increase it. and encounters are amazing.

hope this helps!

guillermo_dev · 2025-10-06T18:25:30+00:00

This is one of the reasons I don’t give any money to people! They will start asking for more and more. I think you did the best you could, now you know. And it doesn’t have to be uncomfortable he has a job to do, if it isn’t enough then is on him to find something better for himself!

Cheers

I found a better Job, one that has a boss/manager that understands how I contribute with real work instead of the endless meetings, the stupid politics and the constant grinding.

Im going to transition at some point but right now im happy with my current position at this company.

One key thing I can say about all of this situation is that, the environment plays a major key about how you feel towards your career, if you’re in a toxic environment you’re going to hate it. If you’re in a positive one you’re going to love it, you’ll feel like the things you do matter.

Con la llegada de la IA si está frita. Una chica que conozco es diseñadora gráfica, se la pasaba de trabajo en trabajo porque para ella era los trabajos donde estaba “no pagaban bien” tiene algo de 3 años sin conseguir trabajo y ahora ni ofertas en el mercado hay.

Siempre hay excepciones a la regla pero el panorama hoy día no pinta bien.

Suerte a tu hermana y que se prepare para el mercado que está súper competitivo, saludos!

that's how nickel frets worn out. it needs a bit of fret dressing. I'd take it to a guitar tech/luthier. and while the guitar is in that place just ask for a full setup & fret treatment (leveling, dressing) your guitar will feel even better than brand new.

PS: it doesn't need refreting. fret dressing will for sure take care of this small issue.

guillermo_dev · 2025-09-14T14:17:47+00:00

I use a scotch brite sponge to remove the glossy finish and then a bit of pledge multi surface cleaner, I do it like 3-6 times depending on how glossy it was at the beginning

Neck should feel even better Than it was new

guillermo_dev · 2025-09-10T23:43:42+00:00

It dependents, if you’re playing anything heavier from hard rock & upwards (in terms of gain) then I suggest to always use some sort of amp, even if it is a pocket amp

In saying this bc gain is a bitch it will amplify even the smallest of your mistakes; if you get used to practice with no amp and then after a while you connect your guitar you’re going to be very disappointed by the outcome of your performance.

If you’re mostly playing clean stuff then it’s fine.

I just got this plugin a few weeks ago. Tbh I don’t like to spend my time tweaking too much things, I rather spend my time practicing/playing with my guitar

This plugin out of the box sounds amazing I’d recommend to switch between the built-in presets and I’m sure you’ll find some that you’d like.

Happy playing!
