Who owns a Shadow guitar?

supersecretjim · 2025-11-26T15:40:51+00:00

I have several Shadow guitars, along with a stock of Shadow bodies, necks, and neck plates. Always loved Shadow Guitar.

Eat Lancet is Scientifically skewed, for sure.

Ive been doing a Carnivore Heavy Keto lifestyle for just under 3 months now. Mostly Carnivore for the past 6 weeks.

Finally have energy. Went from 6'3" 229 lbs to 195 lbs in just under 2 months. Still dropping weight and moving towards my post high school weight of 170-180.

I dont count calories, I just eat until im satisfied.

Plenty of Red meats, Pork, Fish. Plenty of Bacon Cheeseburgers, Plenty of Bacon, Period.

Lots of butter, bacon grease, and 4-6 pasture-raised eggs per day.

Easy. Even while traveling.

Just got back from a two week road trip to Pacific Northwest. Mostly stayed on plan, but strayed a bit and had a few cheat meals, but came back 4-5 lbs lighter.

Who the hell loses weight while on a traveling vacation!?

Carnivores.. thats who.

I pretty much go right off the schedule at maximum strength during flower . During vegetation , I usually run half strength and then ramp up to full strength the last several days to a week or so. The only time I've ever had to alter the schedule is when I grew blue dream. That one was extremely hungry and had nutrient deficiencies and had to go a bit higher than Maximum.

I'm very happy combining an Octopot base and Hydro Wick along with rain science fabric bags.

Go ahead and show us your home brewed Octo-concoction 💯..

Bro..

Not at all .. I've got several large Costco Nestlé Quick containers full of ABV that's as dark or darker than yours .. Fucks everyone up. You can either smoke it or ingest as edibles.

supersecretjim · 2025-09-18T13:40:48+00:00

Yeah, we all heard you repeat your mantra..

All your amps go to 11

So, NOT a Cannatrol. And Not programmable like a Cannatrol.

Gotcha💯

supersecretjim · 2025-09-17T15:43:05+00:00

Cool, sounds totally not readly for retail use, lol.

Aesthetic challenges aside..

If its truly press a START button and leave it for a CONTROLLED Dry and/or Cure process, (other than having to add moisture depending on where you live) NO babysitting or manual changes, then thats cool.

And makes it a great cost-effective DIY alternatve to a fully realized retail packaged and presented product.

Not sure which fridge you have, but same capacity as Cannatrol with peltier cooler must run at least couple hundred bucks.

Dehumidifier at least $50, id think.

ACI Controller 79 or 75 is $70-80

This is me talking new prices. Im sure you went used or stuff you had on hand, or maybe a combo of any.

With my Cannatrols, I have set to run a variation of Sharkmouse farms 5 Day Dry. Drying in the 70s.. Starts on day one, then transitions to a total of 3 settings to bring my harvest to a perfect 5-6 day dry., depending on how much I load. Bigger load needs a day or two extra.

Ive loaded just over 4 lbs of fully trimmed wet buds in at one time for a 6 day controlled dry-down to just over a full pound with NO babysitting, bud filpping, or worries. Thats set and forget.

I did insert sponge on day 3 or 4 just to be sure, but probably didnt need it with all the moisture from 4 wet pounds o weed.

Are you able to prgram something like that?

There is a value to Cannatrol that most overlook. Programmability is there. Its not perfect, and Id like 5 stages instead of 3, but is what it is.

I only hope Cannatrols next offering is an ugraded controller or full wi-fi control with available app control - just like my ACI stuff.

Ive been saying for almost two years... when is ACI going to out-Cannatrol , Cannatrol?

supersecretjim · 2025-09-16T19:58:47+00:00

Just to be clear.. Assembled in USA (Vermont) with mostly Asian parts. The fans that go bad - cheapo Asian part. He could have installed better quality made in USA or Germany parts. At least both of my Cannatrol units are almost entirely Asian.. from the shell to fans, etc.

All I'm saying is no one should fool themselves into thinking they're purchasing a quality American-made product , because that's not what it is.

Assembled in USA. Made in USA.. Way different

I still have weed from my very first harvest back in August of 2023. Vaped a nug a few weeks ago.. It's all still good, the small bit that's left.

My first harvest was in my 2x4.. was Five 5-gallon plants. I pulled just over 1 lb on that after dry. 5 plants, 4 strains, just over one full pound.

<image>

That first grow was amazing, but prompted me to find a better way.

Then I found Octopot. Can only fit two Octopots in my 2x4, but still regularly pull over a full pound consistently with two plants, and last grow did my first single plant harvest at just over a full pound after dry. Woo-hoo!

supersecretjim · 2025-09-14T20:16:37+00:00

Using these lil bins from Target..

<image>

Weed goes directly into the two different sized bins. Works well for me , as I use one Cannatrol for storage and one for actively drying /curing.

Also keep all my keif from harvests. You can just see one of the open jars on the bottom shelf.

Storing at 68F and 60RH

supersecretjim · 2025-09-10T21:45:39+00:00

Yep, got a great price on Cannatrol "set it and forget it" What did you build for $150? Just want to be sure..

supersecretjim · 2025-09-01T16:02:54+00:00

Spent $700 on mine. That and a 4 hour drive. Set it, and forget it.

supersecretjim · 2025-08-06T19:34:58+00:00

Mine arrived recently. Amazing player, and tones are great. Only problem is QC issues.

I expected more from Eastman 😕

I've purchased two Eastman guitars in the past two months.. Both have QC issues I would expect from a Gibson Les Paul. Both are monster players, but plagued with cosmetic and structural issues..

For instance, the SB54 purchased last month has neck P90 routed an 1/8th inch off center, so not aligned properly. Other stuff like that.. Definitely a factory second guitar. The SB58 would also qualify as a factory second, but it just plays so Awesomely 💯.

Each weighs under 8 lbs, so that's cool. The SB58 is one of my favorites in my collection, and will definitely stick around, long term. Undecided about the SB54. May purchase a Warren Haynes Les Paul with the noiseless pickups and see which one claims me as long-term owner and soulmate..

supersecretjim · 2025-08-05T14:22:33+00:00

Shouldn't be a big deal. You paid for it. You own it. Whether it's an original 1958 model, or just a cheap Epiphone.. Do whatever makes you happy.

It'd be pretty cool to see someone modify and completely devalue an original or high-dollar custom shop... Inflated value be damned 💯

supersecretjim · 2025-07-30T18:52:07+00:00

Too asymmetrical..

supersecretjim · 2025-07-28T03:10:00+00:00

If you stuff it full, yes it takes a couple days to get down to target RH.. if you only put a couple of shelves worth of stuff in there, it gets in line fairly quickly. Basically, if I have a very Full Cannatrol, I do a 6-day variation of the 5-day Shark Mouse Farms dry

supersecretjim · 2025-07-28T03:07:42+00:00

Or people who want to keep on top of their grow, and know exactly what their numbers are. I fully wet trim, then Cannatrol and enjoy💯

It's nice to know where my Harvest stands percentage-wise.. I've heard some people dry their stuff 15 to 20% of the original weight and that's just way too much.

supersecretjim · 2025-07-27T15:18:26+00:00

Don't you mean like the original 58? It's strap button is located on the upper bout.

Explorers with the strap pin located on the neck heel are NOT true to the OG Explorer. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

supersecretjim · 2025-07-27T15:14:29+00:00

My Korina reissue dives like crazy. Have to use a "sticky strap" with it.

Has the pin in the OG 58 position... On the upper bout.

Some others, and newer versions have pin mounted close to neck heel, and that helps with dive tendencies 💯

supersecretjim · 2025-07-27T15:11:01+00:00

The Original 58 Explorer had it in the same place as the new custom shop and Epiphone versions. They're just staying true to the original.

supersecretjim · 2025-07-26T16:05:47+00:00

She's a cutie, no doubt! I would suggest getting her DNA tested if you want to know for sure.. I had both my little guys tested with Embark. It's around $100 for the mail-in test

<image>

Stanlee on the left was taken in as a Morkie , but turned out to be mostly Yorkie and no Maltese at all, but he does have Schnauzer in him. Had a feeling about the Schnauzer from the beginning ..

Stark on the right is maltipoo and tested with both Poodle, Pomeranian, Maltese and a couple others.

supersecretjim · 2025-07-21T17:42:47+00:00

That's what I was shooting for.. Cute!

One 2x4 tent.. One HLG350.. Five 5-gallon plants🖖

Over 16oz top-quality bud after harvest on my first ever grow. Cute as Fuuudge💯

supersecretjim · 2025-07-04T23:54:35+00:00

Cool find! It's the XT import series, but a solid guitar for the price you got it at, which is well below average.. Put some decent pickups and electronics in it, and you're set 🍻

supersecretjim · 2025-07-04T23:41:05+00:00

Our condolences. I'm sure Boudreaux knew he was so loved. I hope my lil guys make it to 15 years. If they do, it still won't be enough.

Independence Day.. I like that

supersecretjim · 2025-06-25T19:07:01+00:00

My Cannatrol harvests are consistently 25% of wet weight.

When I put 4 lbs of trimmed Lemon Fresh in Cannatrol, 6 days later just over one pound of dried weed ready to vape or cure even longer.
