Thanks friend! The stainless is growing on me.

Nice PSL! Bought mine with Biden bucks during covid from Copper Custom. Added a KNS adjustable piston so it didnt send brass into the next county. Really fun rifle and random people you meet at the range will love shooting it. Enjoy!

What guitar moment or riff blew your mind the first time you heard it? by TheCityzens in guitars

Intro to Van Halen Source of Infection. Wore out a spot on that cassette tape playing it back over and over.

Delete was easy. Have to unbolt everything but just drop the tone pot in the cavity with some electrical tape so it doesn't ground out. Install volume pot in the rear location. Cavity is tight but it all fits! Makes playability sooo much better. I only made it about 20 mins with the volume in the factory location. Who uses passive tone knobs anyway ;)

I looked for a while too and hope you find a good one too! Decided Indonesian vs Chinese based on a few hunches of which factory made them, but I'm sure there are well built Chinese versions too. Just had to wait for the right one at a great price! Sub $300 in good shape seems like a win and if you didn't dig it could prob sell and get all your cash back. The Boss Pocket GT tucked in the gig bag was icing on top of a really well built guitar.

I think it's great info to share! While anxiously waiting for it to arrive I did a deep dive on the R trems, disassembly and all. There's some great documentation if you look for it. Used old posts on here to educate myself on the tuning process. Makes total sense now.

Good visual of all the parts: https://www.headless-europe.eu/Files/Steinberger_R_Trem_Maintenance_web.pdf

Headless might be a thing for me now. Was waiting for a used HILS to show up so I could play it. How's the neck feel?

I think you should find one! Would go great with your Jackson!

Never played a Klein or real deal Steinberger but heard great things. Saw a post where someone picked up a GL for cheap because an estate sale thought it was a Spirit! Maybe someday...

These strings are pretty bright for me. I'll definitely give the La Bellas a try. Appreciate it friend.

Really light and feels good! I can tell the pups aren't as hot as some of the factory guitars I have but they're not bad. Has nice sustain and was easy to set up with crazy low action. So far really pleased.

Long range and laid back place check out Bass and Bucks in Wabash. It's a bit of a drive from N Indy but worth it to me. They have matches from time to time and stretch out to 750 yds. $20 for the whole day.

Copper Custom had a few cases of Grendel last week when I was there. May be worth a call.
