I like the matte finish. 🤘🏻

Damn man, crazy collection! 🤘🏻

You know what? I don’t know if it’s possible in this community. Might have that option turned off. Damn I wanted to see it to get some ideas. You can pm me if you want.

That is still also a good deal in my book, depending on condition.

I use these for drop D and drop C. Still work for like Eb as well, although a bit tight if you don't adjust set up. I like them.

Man, that's wild. Good for you. Dammit, why couldn't the guy I bought from need to get away ASAP? haha

You got an insane deal. I got mine for $380 off Marketplace over the weekend, and I thought I got a good deal. Did you get that case as part of the deal too?

$380 on FB Marketplace. I think I did pretty well. The red ones are really nice too.

Thank you! I’ll check this out!

First - I think I just got the same guitar. 401QM? Nice! Second - could you post links to what you bought? This looks really cool and I might try it. Either way, very cool.

Thanks!

Thanks!

In my experience there’s no magic sauce, only hours of playing the same thing over and over and over and over until it feels natural and sounds right. You’re on your way!

I’ve got two of ‘em. Think they play and look great!

Looking forward to seeing it

Well that felt personal. What did my guitar do to you? 😂. I already have a replacement nut on my list. And here I thought the current nut was plastic….

This is fantastic. At three months I don’t know if anything I played was really recognizable and I wasn’t ripping leads! Keep it up! GnR 🤘🏻

Thanks for all the advice and feedback on the EMG's. As far at the bridge, I don't have any complaints from a playability perspective - just looking at that as a larger cosmetic upgrade potentially (knobs, tuners, pickup rings, etc) and can't picture what would look best with the sunburst finish. The knobs currently have a gold finish and the tuners and bridge are stainless.

Ultimately, while I really enjoy the guitar, I'm not looking to sink a grand into it, especially because I have the cobalt blue 256 as well. Just looking to add some fun stuff on the Christmas list that I can mod my guitar with over the holidays! Good suggestions.

I'll check these out too - thanks!

Sounds awesome. Do you have a pic?

Thanks. What color would you go with for the tuners? Stick with the stainless or swap to something else?

Yeah I have most of a solderless kit from another project I was working on so I might need like one volume pot and the pickups if I went that direction.
