I never get bored. But sometimes I get the stuck in a rut. Something that can happen to all of us. Doesn't happen very often. But be pragmatic and use whatever helps.

He is using a Tele in the video.
That doesn't mean it was what was used in the studio.

New profiles, new pickups. I never touch the cab parameters. It only make it sound bad. Well at least for me.

Nothing that says he's using a kemper.

Between 80 and 110 according to the song I write.
Because 79 will be too slow and 111 too fast?

If it's not working, move on. There are thousands of free(and commercial profiles)out there. I have five guitars and all of them have different pickups, passive and active. Some profiles sounds dull with one guitar and stellar with another guitar. Profiles that sounds killer solo will never sound good in a band or a mix.

I would tune your guitar differently. I use two tunings; one for clean which keeps all strings to within 2 cents , and a dirty tuning which I have strings as much as 8 cents apart to counter how hard I hit the strings and where most of my chords will be played for the particular song. And good intonation setup is key.
This. Tune the low E a little more flat. The problem is no one learn us how to really tune a guitar and I'm no exception. Tuning all strings to zero and your ready to go. Wrong. And all videos you can watch about tuners on YT. All of them tune so soft and no one tells you to tune as you play. If you play soft, tune soft. If you play hard, tune hard. No matter how well tuned/intonated the guitar is some chords will be less in tune. That's what punch in punch out is for when recording.

Even pro engineers have to fix harsch guitars in the mix. Some pickups in some guitars will have harsch treble.

I did demo the vst version soon after it was released and I can't say I was impressed and have tested other amp sims that sounded better and much cheaper. The mesa had really loose bottom. But maybe my opion would been different today if I had given it a spin now.

its a 22 fret so I'm even happier as I wanted 24 frets - I had not noticed that!
You wanted 24 frets and are happier that the neck has 22 frets???
If I want to buy a guitar my wife will ask me what guitar is it? Does it have a nice color? I do what I want to do with my money and she does the same. As long as we pay and share 50/50 for the bills, gas, food etc. I'm lucky.

Messaged my wife, she will kill me....
If the worse happen we might see that guitar on your coffin.
If so can I have the guitar after that?

Nearly......if only it was HH config...I know Im picky
Middle pickups are in the way for the pick.
Don't understand why Ibanez insist on them on most of their guitars and on mine too.

potřebuji Kemper 2. Ten co mám je stále skvělý.
There are forum threads for other languages. Use english when posting here. Very few understand what you wrote and what language you use.

As soon as I see a shark fin inlay I look away for something else. Never liked it either.

Liked it the first time I heard the song and recorded it to tape cassette from radio like we used to do back then. Very underrated BS song if you ask me. Great cover but no one can replace Tommi on guitar though.

Or a Custom 24 Floyd
If they could get rid of the doves I might consider buying a PRS.

Went guitar hunting on Saturday. Test drove a Phil Collen PC1....disappointing considering it was £3k plus! Also tried a schecter C6 pro aurora burst, which was quite nice, but something missing.
The most surprising was a fender strat with a Floyd and humbuckers - they weren't sure what the model was but turned out to be a limited run. Played very well, but it was very dull looking and expensive (£1600) for what it was (in my mind).
So still looking...
My ideal next guitar is
1) Floyd equipped/metal guitar with HH config
2) Nice top, ideally quilted maple or burl top
3) Nice colour - purple is my fav
4) not crazy expensive - £1500 Max
Looks like I might try to find a Charvel DK24 Purple Phaze....any other suggestions?
A LTD Deluxe with FR but you might already have one? Have you searched second hand market? I have only purchased a new guitar the last 20 years and all I purchased second hand have been in mint condition and saved alot of money.

Maybe it's because sea shipping prices exploded. in october 2021 a 40ft container costs 16.000$ from china to mainland europe. In 2020/before pandemic start it was 2.000$. (source: german finance-magazine "capital")
For example: i payed 472€ for a gretsch in april 2020. The same guitar (same colour, etc.) at the same store now costs 559€. That's 18% more.
Also nearly every company and everyone had less profit in the last 3 years and so everyone tries to get this missing profit back. That's the neverending story...
True but if I go out to a bar and bar A sell a beer for 3 euro and bar B sell a beer for 2 euro. Of course I choose bar B. Which bar will sell more and make more money this weekend? The answer is obivous. Now guitars also have to compete with more expensive food, electricity and gasolin. So why do they choose to raise their prices and insist they will sell the same amount of guitars this year like they did last year? It don't make sense.

Prices are up (Inflation) because there is too much money going after too few goods. Economy 101. There is a lot of wishful equipment I am going to have to skip for a while.
"Supposedly" inflation is at 8.2% in the US according to "official" calculation. That's total BS. This EVH bumblebee was $899 two years ago (I almost bought one and the red stripe was $100 more). Bumblebee is now $1149. That's more than a 25% increase.
That increase is pretty much consistent for all guitar brands.I've seen it too. Guitars gone up about 275-367$/euro. Insane prices.
That will make guitarists purchase more guitars. Not.
Better to wait until a guitar hits the second hand market. -
