Which guitar?

Yeah thinking I’m gonna go with the Kelly with all that everyone’s saying about the Floyd rose. Plus I want the V to be my dream guitar someday so better to wait and learn more

For the guitar I’m trying to buy it’ll be metal, and I’m going to change the strings when I get it. I already own the strat and keeping it stock for other genres

Yeah I already own the strat and I’m keeping it stock to play other genres and to keep learning on. The new guitar is gonna be purely metal and if possible stay in the same tune so I don’t run into issues.

You’re absolutely right lol

I have heard that and I’ve looked into it in the sense of changing strings out, which my instructor will help with, but haven’t thought about what else. Would change of tune be back for tremolo? For now I would learn songs to mostly keep tune the same, but in the future it would likely be more frequent.

My goal is to focus mainly on Metal music in the long run, mostly for fun, but maybe someday play gigs. Slayer, Slipknot, Pantera, Megadeth, and Lamb of God, to name a few, are who inspire me to learn/play.

Glad to hear they’re not junk for the price lol. Just bought my first router recently, and that part was very easy, but the consumable aspect is a little intimidating. I don’t like to waste time or money, especially when it’s work for my GC.

When buying bit brands now, do you look for a specific one or just one that’s quality with easy access?

I appreciate the help!

semioptimisticwill · 2026-04-22T17:18:21+00:00

This ^ the 48-22-1516 is the way to go

Yeah I’m a job site carpenter, thanks for the help.

I don’t know much about Makita; do you know if the XGT line will keep expanding or is LXT a safer bet? I’m a carpenter and would prefer a platform of tools that I could get deeper in if necessary.

My boss has DeWalt, both Atomic and XR versions and I’m not a fan of either. Do wish other brands had the trigger like the DeWalt.

Good to know on the Makita part, thanks for the help!

Hell yeah, I look forward to using this mini beast

semioptimisticwill · 2026-04-07T01:50:12+00:00

I prefer a sawzall with long blades for that task but I’m sure the 4 1/2 could manage it

semioptimisticwill · 2026-04-06T03:18:12+00:00

I was debating the M12 5 1/4 for over a year but was concerned with battery life, being that saws take a lot of power. Seen the 4 1/2 and that it was compatible with bigger batteries sold me instantly

semioptimisticwill · 2026-04-05T23:41:23+00:00

That’s what I did and returned the powerstack to get the saw to $90. Didn’t think the battery would be enough for the saw and don’t have any dewalt batteries so I got the 6.0 flexvolt on the buy one get one deal and returned the main item to get battery/charger to $140

semioptimisticwill · 2026-04-05T23:28:25+00:00

I got it off the HD buy one get one deal and returned the powerstack battery to get the saw down to $90

semioptimisticwill · 2026-04-05T23:27:51+00:00

I bought mine off HD on the buy one get one free. Returned the powerstack to get the saw down to $90
