    Hello, Folkgrunge!!!( I made music history out of mainstream where I sold my album in 32 countries and 5 continents as a independent pro musician learning from Fugazi,Pixies,Neil Young and Nirvana as a grunge musician and left handed who I wasted a lot of money AS A BIG IDIOT,DUMB AND IGNORANT 15 years ago I started to use harley benton and the quality are better than fenders MIM and the sound too, this guitar as a lefthanded is my dream and I will buy it but I have many doubts like: Wich is the better bridge in electric guitars? The bridge is the 95% of guitar's tone with bone nut. In this guitar i think a mini humbucker with p90 it will be killer sound with a Rat and big muff with a litle reverb. If you love grunge, subscribe in my chanel we are near to desapear and mainstream is for narcissists! locky--rock-blogspot-com.translate.goog/2024/01/le-clotet-avec-garces-y-su-apuesta-por.html?m=1&_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ca About my job recently👇👇👇

    I have that same pedal, man! Not a bad test, as it's definitely a versatile pedal despite some people crapping on it, saying it's not that great. I've yet to get used to it, as I rarely change my sound when it comes to playing songs with my jam partner, but that may change eventually.

    Rob, doubt you’d remember me from back when you originally started making videos on this guitar, but they were the convincing factor on me saving up and buying one back in high school in 2017. Mine has the original rosewood fretboard with the original mustang head decal. It’s put up with so much moving around but still plays like brand new. I’ve used it so much over the years but I can say that I never needed to buy another electric after as this holds up way past its price point. This guitar should be at the top of any beginner’s list of first guitars

    I have a 2nd hand 1998 Affinity Squier Strat. It's full-size thickness and a very good guitar. My son has a music degree and is a jazz bass player. He can really make my guitar sing; me, well, not so much. 😅. I really love the idea of shorter scale guitar. I'm in my mid-sixties and find the size and weight of full-size a bit too much, and who needs 5 pickup variations? 😂

    I owned a bullet mustang before and I modded it with a toronado Bridge and HS config. Wonderful modding platform! I sold it because in the end I couldn't get on with the skinny 12 inch neck. Just recently I bought a sonic mustang in torino red. The neck on that one is a total different animal. Really comfy and thick! Modded it as well. Proper P90's, black p90 pickguard, proper pots and capacitor, half tele Bridge with brass saddles and tinted the neck with amber nitro. Really happy with it!!

    I'll retell my story. So, I play since 1979. I had a huge unplugged gap 2006-2016. I thought, I'm through with distortion forever. Then one day I see this Bullet for like a €100 and it's so much lighter than my HH Gibson LP Studio from 1991! I haven't touched the Gibson for 10 years just because of its weight. It's 5 kg, boys! So, I picked the Bullet, changed tuners, bridge bits, pickguard (got a fantastic 3-ply sparkly white from the Scottish dude) and put a pirate logo on the empty space behind the bridge. For 8 years since the day I took up on playing punk again and people listen and being very friendly about me coming back from acoustic instruments to my teenage roots. I'm 59 and a grandad. I got some vital inspiration from this channel and I appreciate your efforts.

    @@theguitarmanifesto I don't think I explained that very well. I put tape on the bottom of the pedal as a buffer between the gummy Velcro and pedal surface. It stayed put on the board because there was a Velcro strip on the board. So it was Velcro on Velcro as it should be-it was very snug-no worries. The Velcro is easier to take off of the tape and not mess up the pedal if you sell it. I never bought or sold any pedals with Velcro stuck to them. Some might not care about that detail.
