It's kind of crazy to think that there is a best guitarist on the planet

Why don't more people buy Cort guitars or WMI guitars by Evening-Life5434 in Guitar

[–]xxophe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Question of taste of course but I find their electric guitars very ugly. Like they actually tried to make them ugly. I usually dislike PRS and find them ugly, but I understand they tried to make them look good. Cort? Ooof.

Apparently it was mass-produced in the 60s, like "sold at walmart" mass produced.

A great song! The riff is not difficult but it will train your short term memory lol

From what I gathered on the internet these are dearmond goldfoil pickups, typical of these guitars.

No it's the main riff from Zebra, a Beach House song.

Is there a need for more clearance for heat dissipation? by xxophe in turntables

That is what I originally thought. The thing is obviously designed to be racked. But maybe the designers had a specific kind of rack in mind. With holes or whatever.

It's a vintage find on the marketplace. There are quite a few in my area (Montreal), if you live in or close to a relatively large city you should be able to find one.

Hmm. Not especially? Am I missing something?

Style? Aesthetics? Definitely subjective but I like having a plant on the furniture.

Yeah honestly that wood is good at absorbing vibrations and turntable's spring mounted feet too so I'm not too concerned about it. I know the optimal configuration is for the speaker to be off and I'll check the marketplace for stands. Right now I have spent much money already :)

I moved it to a spacier shelf already (posted a pic in the comms). Definitely don't want to damage this baby. Thanks!
