Man I been here since close to the beginning and if I were to go back there and look, it’d probs be this.

Caparison Metal Machine, replaced pickup with an EMG 81. This is the best thing I’ve ever played, I love this guitar.

What’s the toggle switch for?

What’s the toggle switch for?

It's just a lo-cut switch. It's cool but I prefer a potentiometer. I'm going to end up changing the baseplate at some point soon. Maybe get a blank one so I can drill holes a bit closer, and do 3 knobs instead.

Thank you both!

 

[Yeah]

The previous time I restrung it was when I first started noticing some small divots. And these strings have been on there for at least 9 months! But even still (this guitar gets the most play of all my EBMM's), I was shocked to see what is essentially a line across most of the frets right under the D string!

WTF have I been doing to cause that?

I guess playing a lot of stuff that uses the D string.

I play one song intro that's solely on the D, but I also play others that are solely on the B, and the low E, and they don't show that wear, so IDK...

Maybe that string is set too low...?

My LP Custom took 20 years to get this kind of fret wear, and they're not SS frets. This guitar only took 6. I guess that's what happens when you favor one guitar 75% of the time, and play on average a couple hours a day. Which isn't an exaggeration.

Oh man that’s crazy! I had that happening on a couple guitars I played a lot with alnico frets. It was mostly happening on the G string. Really deep divots. I eventually discovered I had been pushing my strings down way too hard. I’ve slowly been learning to lighten up my finger pressure. I really destroyed the frets on a USA fender Strat. It’s like they were made of tin.

I've been playing my beater GRG Ibanez more than the Prestige or LP Srandard.
There is something special about quality electrinics in finely tuned piece of wood (fret leveling and all) that I don't care about dings or missing chunks of paint.

You don’t wear frets by pressing too hard. 90% of fret wear is how hard you pick and how corroded are your strings. SRV bends is the rest.
Alnico is magnets , nickel silver is frets.

I haven't played this one in a while. Thought I'd pull it out of the closet this morning.
