Not sure how I missed these Blue Moon Burst's. I truly do like that look. I will take a scale with me if I go to get one. My Lead II tips the scale at 9.2lbs, so about 4.17kg. I think a couple of my Les Paul's weigh less than it. 4.5kg would be rough!

I lived through the 80's; still wearing plenty of shame! :LOL: There is a Super Distortion in my Destroyer, which I kept. Know I have admitted a few times on here, it would have improved my technique to adapt and play through the Evolution that was in my Lead II. As for Patents, they expire...

Likely 34% of why I never tried any as replacements. The other 66% is split between Tom Scholz having to route LP Deluxe Gold Tops for Super Distortions to get his preferred tone, and I have never failed to find a tone I sought with some Seymour Duncan's.

If they have been around a while, the Tremoline's may be more popular across the pond. Maybe some Bro's from that continent will sound off. I do need to adapt to the Floyd in my HM Strat. Probably would be a better player had I kept the Evo which was in my Lead II when I got it. But that X-1...

It can take some adjusting to find the optimal setting with the active EQ. The Ultra and Crunch channels share the same triode (V3A) as the active component. As a result there is some interaction between their respective controls, even though the signal is only flowing through other components...

This is always how it happens. I was approaching 2 years of being content, really playing only my Lead III. It was starting to seem like the most versatile guitar I own. Then Satan said, "Could it be more versatile with different pickups?" :devilish: :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Google may not be stalking us, but the Tremoline tremolo ads started popping up on all things Google related today. Tremolines could also be that new as their Homepage notes The New 2025 Tremoline FT36T Original Locking Tremolo System. They appear to be trying to address some of the Floyd Rose...

Always!

Cool color and I always like the matching headstock look! Kind of feel like I have shopped at the same store. Also a bit curious if it truly is a maple syrup finish on the neck, or if it once resided in someone's Kitchen/Music Room.

I use the official matching Hello Kitty pink strap, on my Pink Strat. ...and no, I do not need anyone to fix that sentence for me...

I am going to check these out. Pros and cons of hanging out here. I always find cool, new to me, stuff here. Then have to break my latest "I am not buying any more guitar related stuff" resolution. :D

A vote for your Distortion!

I never went with the wrench holders as once set up, the only wrench I ever need is the one to unlock the nut for string changes. I have 2 Kahler's dating back to the 80's and one Floyd I acquired in 2020. I have not been through a lot of string changes on the Floyd, still need to adapt to...

I have had great experiences with Mojotone, Philadelphia Luthier and Guitar Electronics. Also with Amazon when ordering OEM or when already knowing what I needed. At one point, everyone was out of something (may have been Fender ferrules) except StewMac. Still had a good experience, but paid...
