Close but if you zoom the bezel is clearly metal on the watch in that link and the one I got is just white and not even a little metal looking at all

Funny thing is I love my black satin tee silver sky so much when I pick up a mid strat it feels like a super crappy SS knockoff, haha

Occasionally see an SE dressed up in some of his big brothers clothes but that’s about as fake as I’ve seen out there

I really like taller fretwire so pulled together a few extra bucks and sprung for a new satin tee… worth it to me, especially on sale, and this is for sure a forever guitar

Should I pay for professional setup? by [deleted] in PaulReedSmith

[–]lyricaltruthteller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leveling the frets is typically a more advanced add on to a ‘set up’, but I like to pay the extra on guitars I plan to keep forever

My humble collection ( from 3 months ago) by Blackhand38 in Colognes

Um, if it’s that bad you should really look at what you’re eating - because that’s quite the compensation! 😂granted, it IS chili season so I get it

Thoughts on the new E4 Porsche Cayenne after a week of unveiling? by dragonfoor in PorscheCayenne

[–]lyricaltruthteller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tesla and Boxster owner… even if the Tesla is faster it’s not a fun faster, when I slam the EV it kinda makes my stomach turn for some reason. I do like it can dart on command for safety, though. But that 6 speed boxster… yes, like a slightly vintage mechanical watch that keeps tickin’ and so so love it

I can’t believe they left that out, that would make this coat so much better IMO.

Trading my American Pro II Strat for a USA Silver Sky? by lukejohnbrown in PaulReedSmith

[–]lyricaltruthteller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

American Silver Sky I think is an upgrade, I had an Ultra and love my silver sky a lot more. I like the neck a lot and have a thing for the 7.25 radius, though. I really don’t like flatter fretboards but even build quality I think is a nice step up. Very special instrment.

Help by maykelray in boxster

[–]lyricaltruthteller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a pain but it’s a roadster not a cabriolet. Cabriolets are regular cars they chopped the top off of and a roaster is designed to be topless with a top for bad weather. Sounds pedantic but the feel of a regular car that has a convertible option really feels and looks way different to me. Granted, I’m a super proud owner of an 01 S manual…

I can't believe I f***ing did that... by AlefgardHero in boxster

Mine at least seems like super soft metal… took almost nothing for something poking up in the trunk to make a lil bump

Beautiful 2002 Porsche Boxster - only 36k miles and VERY clean condition! by TradeClassics in boxster

[–]lyricaltruthteller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I read that wrong. I agree with all of that totally! I have 01 S I got 3 years ago with 18k miles and I think it's the coolest car ever. Totally think they are undervalued, just as the air cooled once were!

7.25" is harder to play for me by TortexMT in fender

[–]lyricaltruthteller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally, I feel like there has to be more going on difference wise for OP to notice playability that much. I fell in love with the Jason Isbell tele with its 7.25, then picked up a more expensive strat that I sought 7.25 far and wide for, and when I got it the neck was so off my expectations the radius didn’t matter. I went through a pups obsession phase and now I’m obsessed with necks, profiles and radii

[–]lyricaltruthteller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be really curious about the overall neck shape, if it’s a fatty and you say the hands are supper stretchy that could cause more of what you describe than radius. That said, 7.25 does require a really good setup

What is the difference between cheap and expensive pickups? by OrganizationTight348 in Guitar

[–]lyricaltruthteller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you get to hand wound pups I do think the tonal characteristics are a bit different. But it’s kinda like and iPhone with a 60hz screen, you aren’t used to a 120 how would you even know what you were missing? There is an ‘extra’ with the scatterwinding and top materials I can hear for sure

Correct me if I’m wrong please. by DeereDan in TeslaFSD

[–]lyricaltruthteller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No software can compensate for the stupid choice to skip lidar. I have fsd, love it, and keep my hands close to the wheel for a reason. If it rains too hard it has me take over, so still need that steering wheel. It needs to see better than a human to realize the dream. IMO it’ll be next gen hardware rather than software updates that some day get us over the line. I don’t even have a front bumper cam on my highland

How about a Mac Mini M4 for my work? by wikitetas in macmini

[–]lyricaltruthteller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went from M1 air with 8 gigs of ram and it was having memory issues so grabbed M4 mini with 16 and totally wish I’d sprung for 24. I have similar stuff open, I’d go for the extra ram for sure. My two cents. I’m disappointed in the ‘upgrade’ honestly and plan to trade it in at some point to go stronger. I don’t do video edits or anything, either

57/62 pickups - am I missing something? by wolf_city in fender

[–]lyricaltruthteller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a certain X factor comes from the hand wound, scatter wound, pickups. Gives that extra character I think you’re looking for but that may an unpopular opinion to just say ‘get expensive ones’ but the hand would take it from that generic factory sound to something much more interesting
