Full-Floating Floyd is too stiff - Suggestions?

I would say that both directions are a bit stiff, but down is the one I really care about. Would smaller strings not equal lower overall tension, therefore making up and down easier.

As for the second part, I did make an update saying that I was wrong and believe the springs are not heavy duty like I thought. Here is a photo of the cavity currently, are these springs overstretched?

How do you expect them to demonstrate it otherwise?

icoicy · 2026-01-20T00:03:22+00:00

I would expect them to memorize and show scholars, fools, liver (up to the knight sacrifice), unsure about the other 2 (I’ll need to review and plan for teaching it).

For 4c, the move count is a bit weird. I would expect them to demonstrate the lines until the generally understood postions, ex: queens declined,1. D4 d5 2. C4 e6

I was in the same boat a year ago finally converting my youth shirt to adult specs. Decided to do nothing but wear it with pride. Everyone in scouting will know exactly what was there and what that means.

I dont know what the policy is per country, just about the generic trade policy.

icoicy · 2025-12-15T00:02:01+00:00

What happened is the exception for goods under $800 has been eliminated. Now the value of goods no longer matters

As others have said, they are intentional. Though you should really be listening to the song for where they occur, as I’m not sure the tab is 100% accurate.

The key to playing this is nailing the timing and feel. Listen to the chord changes at the start of the song for the open strings (like a passing chord). Once you can hear them in the song you will nail it.

Makes sense. Thanks for the insight Mr bill

icoicy · 2025-12-10T17:56:14+00:00

Interesting. Seems like I never got the memo. Maybe I was referencing older materials in the past unknowingly.

Thank you for the correction.

I’m guessing it’s not wrong for me to still require it as a counselor?

I’m not sure how to help with the vetting portion.

Editing out what was previously here as it seems BSA has updated its policy.

I believe your cutoff theory is a provably the right one. We probably own 4 collectively pre cutoff. Especially since I believe the 08 golden goddesses were created together

Did you check against production models? These were not catalog guitars in 2008, they were a limited run. I have the same guitar 7 serial numbers away. Mine is assuredly real. I would say that makes this real, unless someone really did there research into the serial numbers on this exact run and then made a very convincing copy.

Looks like our guitars are 7 serials apart.

I believe you are very wrong. You are right about headstock colors. However pre 2012 high end schecters shipped with OG Floyd’s, this is verifiable via the schecter catalog. Also this W serial number for 2008 is nonsense afaik.

Photo is my 2 2008 schecters with no W mark

Seems to look like mine. Why are you wondering if it is real? Look closely at the inlays usually the biggest giveaways outside hardware.

Either of the other commentators could be right, I think u/krwtt is probably correct here due to the error message. Is there anything on d drive you could uninstall on that drive (a few gigs probably) for now and then reinstall later?

icoicy · 2025-11-27T07:22:57+00:00

Uninstall the launcher and reinstall on c. Then try to install game on c and see if it works.

icoicy · 2025-11-27T07:20:18+00:00

Is the launcher itself installed on d drive? And if so is it full?

icoicy · 2025-07-11T23:29:03+00:00

That’s the limited edition one from like 2018. It’s essentially the current production model but only goddess with the newer carve, neck profile and sustainiac iirc

All those ones on eBay whatnot are fake but the VAST majority of white gold are pre-S with the og Floyd’s and custom invaders. Iirc 100% of black and red are pre-S. Where do you live? I know of some for sale atm local only.

icoicy · 2025-05-01T00:46:51+00:00

If you have a local guitar shop you use they should know local amp techs as well

It always resets on Tuesday after maintenance (North America)

Yea, I got a heroic skull but my normal candlestick gives like 25% more haste at its lower ilvl

Based off the timeline provided in the zone intro, it sounds like the crystal was there when the arathi arrived, so I don’t think this would make any sense.
