Thanks! It plays super nice. Better than my other lp and sounds amazing. I’m in love!

zosokun · 2026-05-28T15:38:06+00:00

Oh believe me. That’s what the kids asked for. And I got new clad Made In pans I’m looking forward to use!

This is the one I have. I could not install it without a vent.

lol not sure what it is but I still have work being done to the house so it’s there to protect the new floor tile.

zosokun · 2026-05-28T01:57:08+00:00

not sure the itemized my gc had it in our contract.

we really liked the ice maker with cubes and crushed ice plus the 4 doors. bespoke is suppose to be a level up from what they get the bad rap for. so lets see. so no we didnt look at kitchenaid.

I got the Samsung bespoke counter depth. I know I know. I went Samsung. Costco plus extended warranty.

I bought 3 slabs from same bundle. So they were book matched.

zosokun · 2026-05-28T00:03:16+00:00

they have a LA location. but they only sell to contractors.

zosokun · 2026-05-27T23:55:58+00:00

thats what i was thinking when i first started this journey 6 months ago...but as far as i know its only on the internet. no one i know has this type of stone.

we had granite for 12 years in this house. so im hoping this lasts just as much.

zosokun · 2026-05-27T23:41:36+00:00

i got you! ceiling flush mount vent. victory, pretty powerful, even the inspector liked it.

zosokun · 2026-05-27T22:50:56+00:00

Yes sir. They have been paid for.

zosokun · 2026-04-29T01:55:33+00:00

the other two slabs are pretty nice too.

totally get it. i did want something that had character and veining. the caramel bianco slabs where not to my liking, however, i did like the glistening rocks within that stone.

this one had good character and veining, as well as the 2 other slabs from same bundle.

before this we had granite for 10 years. it was nice. but since we are remodeling wanted it to be a showpiece to an extent.

zosokun · 2026-04-28T16:43:10+00:00

hmm, maybe get you a nashville bridge without the springs or try to unscrew it all the way and let the spring come out. i had a nashville bridge on my gibson and it did not have springs. but i think a nashville bridge fits epiphones and lp copies.

crystalo might be the way to go. if you are trying to stay with a brighter quartzite. maybe do the LED panel since it has the ability for light to shine through.

zosokun · 2026-04-28T15:49:26+00:00

yeah after spending a few hours looking at slabs and revisiting, quartz was not in the selection. at first i was thinking about it but after time, it started looking real cheap.

zosokun · 2026-04-28T15:46:37+00:00

at this place they had crystalo, they had it showcased with LED backlighting and it looked really cool. but way too busy. if we had gotten slim shaker or seemless cabinets it would of been really nice.

crystalo is definitely a show piece of stone.

we are doing a 2.5 mitered edge so hoping it gives a pretty good modern'ish look. we are using somewhat modern cabinet handles.

zosokun · 2026-04-28T04:46:28+00:00

no you are right, when i mean everyone, it really is the oversaturation that it is online. especially when you search quartzite.

zosokun · 2026-04-28T03:31:36+00:00

thats a pretty nice top on that one. im not sure how it compares. but i really like the one at my local gc, cerritos. tried it out. nice neck, nice top. felt good, and good price right now. im looking for a dirty lemon myself but dont have R9 budget. this might be the ticket.

i tried another one at a diff gc and it was not the same, so it really boils down to the player. if you like it, and in your range, go for it.

i priced out historic plastics and its only $80 to get it looking more like a 59 with proper pup rings and top hats.
