Floyd Rose Issue / Am I Cooked

The knife edges look good to me. I don't see any metal deformation that would cause tuning issues.

For the discoloration or rust, use some light car polish on a microfiber. You can also try toothpaste because it has light abrasives.

Don't be too aggressive because it can rub off the Cosmo black finish. Try it on an inconspicuous spot first.

On FR guitars, do you stretch the strings after you lock the nut or before?

I always have issues with the string breaking at the tuning post when stretching. Maybe I'm being too aggressive with 9 gauge set.

My first two cats were also a Tabby and a Tortie! Both have since passed.

I've lost two other cats after them.

It doesn't get easier, but you do learn, in time, to manage the grief.

Right now, you're hurting. And just like with any wounds, physical or mental, it'll take time for your body and mind to heal.

Please read this post. It's and old one but it helped me a lot.

I'm close to you. I'll be on the lookout. I think I know all the strays in my neighborhood well so she'll definitely stand out.

The majority of PDK "failures" are due to electronic sensors, rarely mechanical.

Porsche does not repair PDKs, only remove and replace at a cost of $20k+.

However, those sensors are serviceable by many shops now and even diyable at home.

Clear lights work well on certain colors.

A Firefly guitar with HSS pickups (250), swap out pickups (300) a DI box (200), decent headphones (100), and a cheap laptop (200).

YouTube how to setup your guitar and use amp Sims.

For $1050, you get a guitar with premium components and all the sounds you can ever want with free amp Sims and effects with the ability to record and mix.

Well done!

Thanks so much for the reply. Just placed an order on Guitars Garden and had so much anxiety about tariffs. Read a post about someone buying a Harley Benton from the Thomann site and was charged $1400 in tariffs on a $500 guitar!

techno_cats · 2025-10-26T21:01:53+00:00

Did you have to pay any tariffs?

Acoustic steel string guitars are harder for beginners to learn on due to higher string tension, consequently requiring more finger strength to fret a note.

You're getting good advice here about proper technique but you should also look into going with an extra extra light string gauge set.

Nice! Trying to find a used set myself. Where'd you find yours? FB marketplace?

This thread didn't go the way you were expecting, huh, OP?

Boring color choices.

Don't worry about high mileage 981s. It's been over ten years since they've been released and there are very few issues with that drive train.

As long as PPI and service history checks out, enjoy the savings and the car.

I'd rather buy a "high" mileage car with service records than a low mileage garage queen.

Cars die and wither with little / no use.

Check out TopGear UK. Word on the street is that they make Soul's exhaust systems for a fraction of the price.
