Sonic line is pretty good, idk about the strat personally since its the only thing from the sonic line i didnt get

#

HB id research the model how people like it, as far as ive heard some are really nice others not so much

#

i have the sc550 II

#

which is good even tho i hate the LP shape

#

i mean fair

#

i guess i just find them uncomfy

#

bit too big and square

#

yep, les pauls and strats feel very different

#

strats are way more comfortable imo

#

i guess fair i hate acoustics

#

if you're used to acoustics then you won't mind the bulky LP, it can be heavy tho

deft sonnet Jul 13, 2024, 8:46 PM

#

HB weight relieves some

quasi turret Jul 13, 2024, 8:46 PM

#

just the general shape, strats usually fit with your body

#

both are fine, I use 10

#

Idk I guess I'm just used to 10s, I can't remember the last time I tried 9s

deft sonnet Jul 13, 2024, 8:49 PM

#

you get a feel over time for what you like

#

i like some resistence to bends so i like 10s

#

on acoustic its different

#

9s are very similar

#

barely any difference

#

i used 7s and there wasnt that much of a difference

#

just easier to bend

I love the squiers for modding purposes later on

#

turn squiers into absolute monsters

#

I don't own a squier, I should get one some day just for fun because they're very affordable (I have an 1300€ partscaster project going on)

#

I have a 650€ LTD rn but that doesn't really matter right now

deft sonnet Jul 13, 2024, 8:54 PM

#

yee im doing some mods to a squier sonic tele

#

i mean def

#

i already have 2 fully modded squier strats

#

lol

#

pickups electronics, tuners on all 3 (with tele), one strat with trem system replaced too

#

it's nice to oil up your shaft once in a while

#

at least if you have a rosewood fretboard

deft sonnet Jul 13, 2024, 9:00 PM

#

never tbh

#

if your frets get rusty you can do a little

#

rub thing

#

either with rubber for it or fine stee wool

#

i use gun oil (lol) if i want to take some nice pictures of a guitar

#

but like its not needed besides aesthetics

#

dont know those sorry

#

of most affordable boss katana mk2 50

#

#

I have the old predecessor which was ok
