    Every guitar at my local Guitar Center is a “heavy relic”. It looks like they’ve all been played by someone wearing 60 grit sandpaper gloves.

    Congrats on the guitar. Thanks fir your service. I also served 97-05 and started playing guitar a couple years ago. I find it therapeutic and a great way to escape reality for a short time. Thanks for making videos that are entertaining and inspire other yo pick up playing guitar.

      @@Livelaughlimpbizkit it makes a very slight difference. Visualize the pole pieces as strong flashlights. If you shine a flashlight directly at something, you'll be able to see it perfectly well. If you move the flashlight to the side just a bit, you'll still be able to see what you're looking at, but it won't be quite as clear. But as long as you can see it, it doesn't really matter.
      Not sure if that was a very good explanation, was just trying to simplify it haha

    Don't worry about the pickup not being F-spaced. It's mostly a aesthetic thing, since the string are still inside of the magnetic field of the poles, so sonically there's practically no difference.

    I bought one of those Epiphone Strat copies at a Guitar Center in Austin, TX a couple years ago and the action was high in the store. Figured I'd go home and make a truss rod adjustment but when I got home, the truss rod was completely broken. Lesson learned: always give the guitar a once over before leaving. Truss rod was tough cause you can't be popping truss rod covers off in the store but stuff happens. Anyway, that's a hell of a guitar you found. Glad it's just a nut and pick-up spacing! Subbed!
