What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

[Spaced Out Ace]

Hot pink

The kid who grew up loving the Pink n Black Attack, Bret the Hitman Hart, is disappointed I didn't think of this. That said, finding pickup rings that aren't black, white, or cream (or cheap metal that looks like shit quickly) is pretty hard to come by. The pickup rings that are in various colors tended to look really cheaply made.

Ordered a set of SD Retribution pickups for my Rg7620 since the 707s that it came with are... Less than stellar, very wooly. I'm a Cazares fanboy so I'm hoping these will be right up my alley. Loving the 7620 now that I've gotten it set up and blocked the trem. Fucking perfect, very natural jumping between it and the 550s.

EAE Longsword if I can ever find one. I found a Claymore at the beginning of quarantine but dude flaked out big time and paypal'd me back a month later. At this point it's the thrill of the hunt as much as anything...

Just an idea, maybe possibly paint existing pickup rings using model paint? I think that stuff is enamel and looks nice on model cars. Seems easier said than done seeing as I'm like a 3 year old with paint, but just throwing it out there in case your skills are better.

Finally after 13 years, committed to a HSC for the jumbo....

My gf’s mother knocked over my RG8 a couple years ago and it busted a bit (lol). I made a rudimentary one that’s worked ok for a while but I’m finally getting in a brass one that will actually fit and look nice. That plus some new strangs coming in today - got me excited for some after the burial madness this afternoon.

 

[Ericjutsu]

Lol I actually thought you meant an actual longsword. I'm thinking about getting a katana sword myself.

mans goddamn if it isn’t too tall. Fuck

does anyone know a good (easy) way to shorten this damn thing. So disappointed. I sanded off the glue from my mod, so I thought I would be enough, looks like I need to completely delete the shelf but I don’t want to refinish the headstock

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

Bought a Peavey Q215fx (Made in USA) and DBX 166XL (also Made in USA). $80 for the EQ and $95 for the gate/compressor.

Went and checked out a Precision Partscaster at the local Music Go Round, and walked out with it, now I just need to get this metal pickguard off so I can spray it black and it'll be a looker.

It also came with flatwounds, and despite playing smoothly, these strings are not for me

New neck pickup for my 752, thinking Blaze to match the bridge

Had one for a long time. Download the mod that allows you to rename everything to the correct names (eg Diezel, Bogner). The stock presets were meh because they were showing off the next settings of each effect or amp model. Dial everything back or lend amps and it sounds fantastic.

I'm this close to ordering a KNE star body. Just not sure if I want to go 2 1/4" heel and get a Musikraft neck or the standard size and Warmoth.

Personally I'd go warmoth. I've had very good luck with their necks (I have like 5 necks from them), and they make excellent necks. I really haven't had to do much to them other than install a nut and slightly round some fret edges. Bodies on the other hand, are a mixed bag ime.

Which is the better value for the money?

Yeah, this is my 2nd Vetta II. I think they’re great amps. The 5150 amp model is excellent, and there are some really unique tones to be found in this series.
