Getting Another Strat Today.

The guy I met about the trade yesterday was burning up my phone while I drove there. I don't
have hands free (whatever that is! :LOL: ). Wanted to tell me he was going to be late, and should
he still leave. When I got there I was like "We agreed on 5:30PM, right? I am here."

He texts back, "I'll leave now." 45 minutes later he is there. :idk

I don't understand how people use that shit like a crutch. Do you need it to tell you when it
is time to take a crap, and then get a confirmation text that says, "Yes, I am confirming that
you should go to the toilet now, because otherwise you will shit yourself." :facepalm

I don't need or want to have that damn thing in my hands at all times, and my eyeballs on it
all the time. It fucks our ability up to rely on our senses, and be in the present moment.
And not in a good way.

Hell yeah!!!

Those Road Worns are pretty slick. Really, between all the AVRI’s I played over the years and the few Road Worns, I can’t think of anything that warrants the +$1000 price tag on the AVRI’s outside of being able to say it was made in the US.

7.25” is fine for me until the frets start wearing down, once I have to raise the action to get around notes fretting out when bending I turn into a little bitch.
 
Sounded killer into the Fractal 1st night, but sounded like ass last night through my wet/dry dual amp setup. Yuk! :barf

Clearly have the wet/dry setup dialed in for humbuggers.
 
I have a theory on the 7.25" radius that came to me while smoking Pot, so take it with a grain of salt.

My theory is it makes bending a bit easier up to pitch, because as you are bending you are also engaging
that tighter radius and benefiting from the elevated frets as you bend up. Or I was high. :idk

Flatter radius and you don't get that benny. You also don't fretting out on a flatter radius, so there is that.

Can't wait to hear you busting out them 'Tallica riffs and licks on a 50's Strat Met! :wat

Hahahha I know what you’re saying. Definitely not my go-to for metal tones. While I can get a convincing humbucker sound with the DG-20’s, they don’t feel anything like a humbucker, more like a big, bloated pickup, you’re not gonna play “Blackened” and get a killer tone with it, but it’s not going to sound like a traditional Strat bridge pickup at all.

Hahahahah and yeah, I think ya might have gotten a bit baked with the radius ’benefits’ You sure you didn’t mean to write “It’ll stop you from bending sharp because it’ll just fret out once it hits the note“? :rofl
 
Yup. That's why a reasonable person needs more than 1 Strat. :LOL:

I like them low-output single coil tones. Can't get them to the same degree
with the DG20 setup. Always trade-offs somewhere. :idk

I think I am going to leave this one alone and just hold onto the DG20. Or some
Pot and have other wild thoughts and do something contrary to what I am saying
here. :rofl

I mean, you DO have a red Strat with a maple neck…..the EMG’s are asking you to send them to their home. Fiesta Red is ok, too. :rofl

And yes, the more the merrier. One for low output single coils, one for beefy single coils, one with a humbucker and a Floyd, one with 2 humbuckers and a Floyd…so on and so forth.
