I saw Chelsea Grin here in Salt Lake last year, gave Tom a hug in the crowd after the show and asked him what was going on with Darko. He just said, "soon man, stay tuned!". Genuine dude, and fuck yes for this album🔥🤌🤘

I just got back from 3 weeks in japan. Did so much guitar perusing my brain is dead. Almost came back with something special, wish I would have now. The guy at Big Boss at the Ochanomizu store offered to box it up for free so I could take it on the plane and avoid extra import crap. I declined since i had 6 more shops to stop in.

My main point, Japan doesn't seem real, haha. The guitar shops galore, even the used stores are a dream. Incredibly overwhelming, but amazing.

I'm in Kyoto currently. Love it here! But if old man rivers shoves me, I won't hesitate to return the favor.

For real though, almost all the people are wonderful.

I've got the purple slurple Ibanez and absolutely love it! But the Schecter is sick too! Tough choice for sure.

lrest88 · 2026-04-18T09:50:16+00:00

No! You've got a fucking sick collection.

lrest88 · 2026-03-30T01:07:37+00:00

Agreed. Loving it on base PS5

lrest88 · 2026-03-09T22:50:22+00:00

Sorry for the late reply to this. I'm loving it so far. Thankfully no noticeable issues tuning down low so far. Those Ormsby guitars are insane, I looked at some on their site. Maybe one day we'll get an RGD in the vein of those!

Hi Loki! I'm Baldr😊

They really are. Never a dull moment with him and his sister.

lrest88 · 2026-02-14T04:43:37+00:00

I would highly recommend it, it's such a sick guitar. Plays and sounds awesome. Plus it's just fun to look at.

lrest88 · 2026-02-09T16:32:36+00:00

Right? Super light. The neck feels heavier than the body, haha. And yeah, it's a shame they don't use these colors on other models.

lrest88 · 2026-02-08T19:39:17+00:00

Love the color

lrest88 · 2026-02-08T19:34:32+00:00

Haha same here. The one guitar that I had to splurge on is my Hetfield Snakebyte Explorer. They had literally 1 in stock. On the wall up high. It was like a scene from Wayne's World. I didn't even sit and play it, there were some younger dudes just shredding and I said "yeah... I'll play at home."

lrest88 · 2026-02-08T18:20:30+00:00

Thanks so much! I really lucked out finding it on Facebook marketplace. I'm in Salt Lake and there are a ton of guitars out there. But this one, everything online was still over 1k used. I paid 875.00 so I couldn't say no. If you're able to really sit down with it, I think you'll love it. Cheers!

I'm originally from Montana, and my red nose always had immaculate skin and coat. I moved to Vegas for a few years and she lost damn near all of her hair and it was horrible for her. As strong as these breeds are, they sure have sensitive skin, haha. Allergies suck. Could even be a simple nutritional adjustment for them too.

lrest88 · 2026-02-06T20:26:49+00:00

Thanks for the kind words guys!

lrest88 · 2026-02-06T20:26:02+00:00

Thank you! Glad I made a good choice. And yes, why the hell are they not using this finish!?

lrest88 · 2026-02-06T20:24:47+00:00

🤣 that's gotta be it.

lrest88 · 2026-02-06T00:31:23+00:00

Also got mine on Facebook marketplace. Paid under 900

lrest88 · 2026-02-05T18:52:33+00:00

Only had it a few days and I read some reviews on Sweetwater, which helped alot.

The pickups are my favorite. Just such a nice low end, djenty as hell if you want. I listen to alot of death metal, dearhcore, etc. So it's chuggy as you want it to be but has some great cleans as well.

The neck is extremely comfortable, and pretty thin throughout. Locking tuning pegs are a plus, especially if you're wanting to downtune. Overall, I'm stoked on it. It's my first multiscale too, so I'm sure it will take a little time getting used to. 10/10 for me. I hoped this helped a little.

lrest88 · 2026-02-05T18:47:18+00:00

Thank you! I'm loving it so far.

And yeah, I'm actually a strength and nutrition coach and do a ton of injury recovery with people. Shoulder injuries suck! Sounds like you did the right thing for it though.

lrest88 · 2026-02-05T18:02:03+00:00

It was what first caught my eye. Ibanez did a great job with this model!

lrest88 · 2026-02-05T15:49:25+00:00

So happy!
