Well thanks for being the litmus paper in this argument, if you don’t already know there is a nice com in c/guitars, come hang out!

To give you an analogy, it would be like giving up your car because some guy changed the lightbulbs in your headlights. That is literally reversible.

As I already said, a guitar tech can bring it back to its original state for free or a small fee in a matter of minutes. If you refuse to play it instead then its on you.

Yeah probably the wife went to the guitar tech and asked “can you please make this better” and they gave it the classic fret leveling and crowning for a lower action and probably not much more for 200$. But the downvote mob already picked its side in this story so I’m not even gonna bother correcting them.

As a guitar player, you get so much used to how the instrument feels in your hand while you play it that even something that should make it better ends up making it feeling worse.

That said, if the husband really loved that guitar the way it was, he could have brought it back to the luthier, have them undo their job. Stop playing it altogether was his decision and acting like that seems like a “punishment” for their spouse. That would be childish and borderline toxic behavior.

If you decide to go this route, the kits from Harley Benton are a no-brainer. If you like fuzz, something with humbuckers might suit your needs.
And learning how to do a proper setup is as important as building the kit itself (if not more), so if you don’t have it, you will need to get something to measure your string action, I use a machinist ruler, but there are also action gauges that make the job easy. You will also need a capo and feeler gauges to measure the neck relief.
Everything else like screwdrivers and Allen wrenches are something that you probably already have and as I said there are plenty tutorials on how to use all of these tools for a setup.
With a small investment you’ll be able to adjust all of your instruments, making them more comfortable to play and allowing you to play for longer periods without fatigue.

The next step, as I said, would be doing a basic fretwork. That is going to bring your guitar to an even higher level, but that is a process that if done wrong can ruin your instrument, so if you don’t have a lot of experience working on guitars I’d wait until you can at least do a setup with ease.

Micro because it’s literally nano with more familiar shortcuts

Another funny guy lost to the post-pandemic-humanity-freakout…

The right answer is always “whatever guitar is gonna make you play more”.
For example, I lately bought my first headless guitar, an Hils HNT1 to be precise. I didn’t get it for the sound, I already have more than one telecaster iterations, I got it as a couch guitar and for when I travel. It’s so light and compact that is impossible not to pick it up every time I walk by it.

If you want to learn more instead, get yourself a cheap building kit, a fret rocker, a fret-end file and a Frtlzr system. Follow a tutorial somewhere on setup and basic fretwork and make the best you can get out of that guitar (I assure you that is much more than you expect).
You won’t spend more than 300$ and you’ll end up with another guitar, a great learning experience and some tools you can use to get the most out of the guitars you already have.

Yes it was X’D

Edit:
Found the kit on aliexpress

Me at the corporate party

Could you please describe exactly how it happened?

Of course, I dashed against the fallen tree and I got stuck under the branch, it seemed like a collision issue (I’m no expert, mind that). The bee couldn’t reach me either.

We hope this unfortunate experience didn’t discourage you too much and that you were still willing to restart the game.

Of course not, I had to go do other stuff, but I’d be glad to keep playing in the future

Played for 5 minutes, got stuck here and couldn’t move anymore

As for now the only feedback I can give you is that the art style of the characters and the environment are a little too different for my taste, I’d like them more “homogenous”.

Can these people please stop using names from LOTR and stop ruining the things I love?

Shut up tankie /s

Another case of “anyone slightly more left wing than me is a tankie, anyone slightly more right wing is a fascist” while we all boil in the same real-life-gray-area soup

Did someone backup the list?
I just got back from a 2-week holiday and missed the event, now it has been taken down and I’m dying of curiosity.

So what you’re saying is literally every single girl you hit on told you to f right off?
Because if that’s true then it might be time to change strategy…

The first time I asked my future wife out she said no to me. Straight no, I felt so bad that day. And the reason was that it felt unnatural at the moment, we were getting closer and I jumped to conclusions too fast.

I guess the moral of the story is you can get a second chance.
