If you have clamps and wood glue that's an easy fix

so i ended up taking my new guitar to guitar center where they promptly did... some stuff. and now it sounds awesome  he didn't explain what he was doing but it looked like he was loosening the screw at the top of the neck, which I'm guessing affects the curve of the neck?they had a used RAT pedal there for only $50, which i tried to buy, but they couldn't sell it to me due to some weird CA pawn shop laws...? wtf  anyway my skill level is nowhere near deserving of any kind of effects but man this clean sound ain't gonna cut it for long. guess i can wait till christmas...

Sounds like they adjusted the truss rod and possibly some other things. The truss rod affects the straightness of your neck. If its bending too much in either direction it can really, really affect how the guitar plays. Places that buy used stuff usually have a waiting period before they can sell it - this allows people to recover stolen goods theoretically. Why GC would put things on wait out in sight is an answer I don't have.

quoting The Leck when i say RAT Is Best Pedal though tbh for a little more money than $50 but still less than $100 you could probably find a good used RAT clone that doesn't have that stupid rear end bulging screw on the bottom that significantly impedes putting it on your pedalboard. if you have one.

Having a Rat is like bringing a toan condom with you. No matter what amp you have you’re always ready to gently caress.

landgrabber posted:quoting The Leck when i say I have a Foxgear Rats and a Rat2 and the only aural difference I can pick is that the P90 hum is slightly different when you aren't playing. Also, the Rats' volume needs to be notch higher that the Rat2 to match. The Foxgear pedal has a smaller box - half the height, 3/5 the width and maybe 2cm longer. Also, the filter knob turns the intuitive way that the Rat2's doesn't.

When I was trying out the RAT the guy at guitar center took my guitar for a spin for a min… it turns out it actually can make pleasant sounds when in the hands of someone not me

I bought a Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster body in Oxblood off Reverb and I am going to buy a Squeir JMJM and swap the body out. Lucky for my wallet the JMJM that was in the local guitar center sold since I last looked at it and I've decided to make sure I get my hands on it before buying. The gold guard on the Oxblood body is gonna gently caress so hard.

So a brand new Strandberg showed up for sale and I did the stupid thing. Sälen Tremolo NX for 30% off retail. Supposed to get to me this week. Will I hate it or will it ruin all other guitars for me?

Rats are amazing and versatile but op amp muff is early pumpkins in a box if that's very specifically what you want.

Doesn't sit in a lot of stands, you can't lean it against a table or anything. But I had the same concern when I got mine and it's just part of the rotation now. The neck is nice and very comfortable but it hasn't ruined anything else, my strat's neck is equally comfortable in a different way.

That’s good to hear. Been reading and watching reviews a fair bit and there was some “I just don’t want to play a regular guitar anymore” sentiment that did feel a shade fanboy-ish. I have been curious about these guitars for years and recently I have come to the conclusion that I want to play more in the classical position. Without standing up or using some add-on doodad the only guitar I can comfortably use in that manner today is my Dean V. The Strandberg seems to be all about easy playing so figured I could at least give it a shot.

I'll also recommend getting the strandberg strap too, you'll need one that can get super short due to the placement of the strap buttons. And it's just a great strap.

I have... a gear question Trying to borrow a stage monitor for our show, the setup is two acoustic guitars plugged into the PA and a bass plugged into an amp which goes direct into the PA as well. If I can't get a monitor, would a 100W Katana MKII function well as one? I see the "Power Amp In" setting which seems like it might be applicable? Just don't want to end up with a garbage monitoring situation if I can help it
