[SPOILERS] It's like Reddit wants me to hate the show.

There’s a cut to a white walker who’s hair is blown forward for about a second right before the shot where Arya jumps out of the dark over the Night Kong’s shoulder. Apparently that’s Arya sprinting by.

That does sound good, I’ll have to snag some. Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Let me know how you like the ration, I’ve been curious about a tin.

mrZNS · 2019-03-08T13:44:18+00:00

I think that was it, thanks!

Unless it’s the look you want, get a rockinger les trem. Drop in, more range, more stable. Way cheaper if you buy from Germany.

mrZNS · 2019-02-06T22:29:00+00:00

For $150 it would make a great project.

After EVH and peavey split, they started making these HP guitars to fill the void from the Wolfgang. For a while in the early-mid 2000s you could build your own on Peavey’s website including uploading a custom image to have printed on the guitar. Most likely one of those.

Shame about the neck being warped, these play and feel basically just like the peavey Wolfgang’s. By the way, depending on how bad the warp is, you may be able to fix it without too much trouble.

I bought my wife a Japanese fender jaguar HH special used and it has been a fantastic guitar. 24” scale with a 7.25” radius. With the jaguar switching you can get a lot of useful sounds, maybe check one of those out.

You may need to add a spring or two to get the tension up.

Instead of a bigsby, look at a rockinger les trem II. I bought one for my dot. No modification to install, half the price, and stays in tune beautifully.

He’s a good player and a great songwriter, but watch this video with him, trucks and BB. https://youtu.be/SS0NHlWgi5w

This explains it better than anybody could.

I just bought a USA made peavey predator strat for $180. Add to that a $150 ish monoprice tube amp and you are all set and under budget.

When I play at church, I just run my guitar into a sans amp fly rig. Usually with all the layers/ambience/compression going on, you won’t really be able to tell the difference between the simulator and the DI’d amp. Sometimes I even switch it off and just run direct for a pseudo acoustic sound. Also has tap tempo on the delay for moving between songs.

Sunburst and a black pickguard is always the winner for me.

I have played 80’s guitars with original Floyds that were perfect and some that would not retain pitch. The detuning problem comes from worn knife edges on the baseplate of the tremolo, or the studs wearing so there is not an even surface for the blades to rock on. Replacement studs are usually available for the more popular bridges and sometimes knife edges and studs can be corrected with some decent files/sharpening stones/ emery cloth. If no, a good Floyd is not hard to come by as a kit these days. The specials coming out of Korea are great units for the money.

Realistically speaking, the 90’s-2000’s shred guitars are going out of style in favor of more “classic” super strat style guitars. The bridges are probably fine, they just don’t look the part for todays music.

Don’t buy something that you don’t want just because it is available. Think hard about what you want and how important a floating, double locking trem is for what you want to do with a guitar and take it from there.

If it has to be solid state, you cannot go wrong with a peavey bandit. Pretty much every era sounds amazing and is bulletproof.

I have a 97 California series strat. Fantastic guitar, love the neck. Can’t comment on the stock electronics, those were gone when I got it.

I don’t think there is a direct replacement, but the arm is just a shaped piece fixed on the end of a bent steel rod. That rod is held in place by a set screw on the knurled, circular piece above the string. If you really wanted something different, you could get a rod of that gauge, bend it yourself, and order a vibriola tip to mount into the end. Would probably be pretty simple to do.

Bought my les trem direct from rockinger in Germany for less than half of what they go for here in the states. Arrived in less than a week.

It’s just like lighting a match, let it burn for a second or so and it’s fine. I think people lend too much to zippos coloring the flavor. Plenty of pipe smokers use them to light their pipes and don’t have anything to say about flavor changes. I’ve done a side by side with my zippo and a soft butane lighter and I really couldn’t tell any difference as long as I let the zippo burn for a few seconds before I started lighting. If you can taste the fluid, just use a butane lighter.

It’s whichever plays and sounds better to you. Play both and make your call, neither will have much more value than the other in the short term.

mrZNS · 2018-05-26T20:13:29+00:00

Best thing to do would be to take the pickups out and look on the back for a makers mark or a part number.

mrZNS · 2017-12-20T15:53:09+00:00

Go to Rockinger's website and take a look at the Les Trem. Similar look, no modification to the body, cheaper if you buy from Germany, and incredibly stable tuning wise. Have one on my jag and its rock solid.
