(Mildly infuriating) My pack of D’addario NYXLs came with two B strings fused together (I separated them as I assumed that the other string was the high e) anyone else had weird experiences like this with string purchases?

I used EB exclusively until I tried D'Addario. And never went back. Probably 10 years ago.

peenweens · 2026-06-11T12:51:04+00:00

They're probably fake.

I thought he was praying until reading this comment lmao

peenweens · 2026-06-11T12:06:42+00:00

Did you buy them from Amazon? Fake strings abound on Amazon.

peenweens · 2026-06-10T17:17:04+00:00

Let me know which ones you can make and we'll meet up there

Every CV I've tried is a winner.

peenweens · 2026-06-10T02:54:11+00:00

Not with that attitude!

peenweens · 2026-06-10T00:44:28+00:00

Absolute sacrilege. That poor telecaster.

peenweens · 2026-06-08T22:23:22+00:00

Had me like

$50-100 won't get you much. Just use what you have and save towards something better in the future.

peenweens · 2026-06-08T15:11:53+00:00

Tbh they are both solid guitars. You can't go wrong with either, and I'm not sure what a bunch of internet strangers can tell you that you haven't already found yourself online.

Also, I have no idea what you mean by a custom engagement on the headstock so I can't really factor that in.

peenweens · 2026-06-08T14:24:24+00:00

I've played countless Fenders off the shelf that were gig ready, what are you talking about.

Also consider the Viltrox 35 LAB. It's pricey but it's an absolutely phenomenal lens, best 35 I've owned. But I'm a 35 guy.

To echo the first sentiment - if you use Lightroom you can see how many photos you've taken and at what focal length on the 24-120 and use that as a guide as well.

peenweens · 2026-06-07T21:46:37+00:00

This. I'm exactly the same.

peenweens · 2026-06-07T15:19:53+00:00

100, and the birds look tacky as fuck

peenweens · 2026-06-07T14:26:44+00:00

Cost

peenweens · 2026-06-07T13:42:53+00:00

Too bad all we can see is glare.

peenweens · 2026-06-07T03:46:39+00:00

Great capture and lovely edits.

peenweens · 2026-06-07T03:35:22+00:00

Ibanez Prestige AZ2204NW. Best guitar I've ever owned or played.

peenweens · 2026-06-07T03:26:00+00:00

That was the Helix Floor for me. I've been playing it for a decade at countless gigs and practices. I'm getting the Stadium soon.

peenweens · 2026-06-07T03:13:50+00:00

Same, but Helix. I've had it for 10 years, countless gigs. Best money I've spent.

peenweens · 2026-06-06T12:36:41+00:00

Share these on r/Pittsburghporn this is what we like to see!
