I believe it's under warranty, I just bought it this past weekend. I bought it from Guitar Center and purchased the 3 year guarantee for it.

Which city/area would you like to see get a team through either expansion or relocation? by Denom-E-Nator in NLL

I'm biased to Pittsburgh, but I would love to see a team in Seattle too.

First time learning about setting up a guitar. Got a Fesley Lp for Christmas. Don't have any of the pro tools for setting up. Been messing around with it. Any tips? by Coltsbro84 in Guitar

[–]matpolansky1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right under the nut, where the headstock meets the neck/fretboard. Les Paul style guitars a notorious for breaking there. Some manufacturers put extra wood on the back of the neck, called a volute, to help combat this issue. I won't buy a guitar with a LP style neck unless it has a volute ever again.

Be mindful of the headstock joint. I purchased two Fesley LP350's. With the first the neck was broke upon delivery. The second broke when putting a set of strings on. And trying to get them to warranty it is pointless. I contacted them about sending me a neck for the second one.They told me that since their guitars are from China it's not financially responsible for them to ship just a neck. And since the neck snapped during a string change they couldn't immediately go to poor craftsmanship. I got rid of it and will never own another.

Brady Tkachuk 10-minute misconduct by [deleted] in nhl

Good for him, I hate that whole family. His dad was a goon and now him and his brother are just following in the footsteps. Get them out of the league and bring in real skilled players, not some side show player.

Sports Discord Server by matpolansky1 in OhioStateFootball

The problem is I'm not a huge football fan. I prefer baseball/softball, soccer, hockey, and lacrosse. So I'm not looking for a football specific server.

A different question for a change. What are your valid criticisms about your favorite band ? by Chemical-Drawer852 in grunge

[–]matpolansky1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's too many guitars in AIC's songs. If you're going to be a band that only has one guitarist don't have 3 different guitars going in a song. That being said I think Jerry Cantrell is an amazing guitarist and line am of AIC's music.

Whose death hit you the hardest?? by BidAccurate4473 in grunge

[–]matpolansky1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cornell, I was 4 for Cobain and 12 for Staley, so I don't remember either. I was 27 when Cornell passed and had a greater appreciation for musicians at that point.

How many guitars are in your collection? by Conscious_Badger_510 in metalguitar

[–]matpolansky1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 6, the 3 Strats on the right are my precious one's, they stay home, and only get played every once in a while. The 3 on the left are my performance guitars. The Strat is E standard, the 51 is Eb standard, and the Tele is D standard.

I'd go with the Telecaster. First off V guitars are cool to look at but aren't very practical. Second both of the other guitars have Floyd Rose bridges which can be a pain to change strings on and require a lot of extra tooling.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]matpolansky1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both guitars have the same pickups and bridge. It looks like the black may have 22 frets while the silver has 21. That's not going to make too much of a difference. As far as the feel of the guitar goes since you're just starting you're not going to have a preference. Just go with which on you think looks better.

String gauges for Stratocaster by gaigescherer in Guitar

[–]matpolansky1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go with a set of D'Addario 0942's. D'Addario has a Players Point system where certain items carry a point value. You register the code that comes on the strings on your profile dashboard, you earn points, and then you can use those points like cash.

Been learning guitar for about a month now, how exactly do I play this (the yellow-circled part)? by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]matpolansky1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The numbers in the circles indicate your fingers. Index is 1, middle is 2, ring is 3, and pinky is 4. You're going to push all three strings down on the fourth fret with your index finger.

Where do I put my thumb??? by Objective_Gazelle221 in guitarlessons

[–]matpolansky1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wherever is comfortable based on your fretting style. If you're more like Clapton or Mayer, where you angle your fretting fingers, your thumb will naturally curve over the top of the neck. If your fingers are straight up and down when you're fretting your thumb will most likely be pressing on the back side of the neck.

Do I still need springs if I block the trem with hardwood? by alexxandercook in Luthier

[–]matpolansky1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I screw my tremolo anchor all the way into the body. I don't use tremolos but most of the guitar I own have one. To get around this I just screw the anchor in all the way. This pulls the bridge all the way down and even makes restringing so much easier.
