Soldato
Lovely! I'm sure you'll love it! What did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?
Your GAS is worse than mine, and I thought mine was pretty bad

That's a good price. You'll love it, it'll have a great finish on it. I previously took a bit of a disliking to relic'ed guitars, but that has changed.
I've had to promise no more new purchases to the GF. As.. well, it's crazy. I have above and beyond everything I need. Normally I can defend my purchases, but I can't anymore!
5 years is very good! The NGD feeling will feel even sweeter when it arrives!
Sweet strat.
That’s a pretty guitar and I’m not even a stray fan! Wish I had that kind of disposable income, maybe one day!
Lovely instrument, I would have given my right arm for Strat like that when I was kid! Oh wait...
have you guys used rocksmith? i tried learning 4 or 5 years ago using it and struggled. thought i'd redownload it as i noticed it in my steam library. its easy to see why i didn't get on with...
Picks up wrong frets so for example will tell me i should be on the 3rd fret and picks up me being on the 4th. Sometimes doesn't pick up certain notes im playing. These issues according to the internet could be down to innotation but i googled it and it's something for the shop to look at when its open.
From a learning perspective they do a lot learning by playing songs using the wrong notes which put me off. so i've been learning on the fender play app which so far i've learnt c,d,g and a minor so tried knocking on heavens door as i can kinda play it normally but it was expecting me to just fret one string for a c for example.
Think the guitar needs to go to the shop anyways as i get a lot of buzz of the E string and the G doesn't seem to stay in tune. What i might do is grab the cheapest 'branded' guitar thy have in shop as they'll do a free setup on. Some of the squier guitars look cheap and chearful.
Exactly this. Electric guitars are very adjustable. Best to do it with fresh strings though as that affects intonation as well as other stuff.if you don’t care about this guitar anyway, set it up yourself, plenty of tutorials out there. I can do everything apart from cutting the nut by just trial and error.
What's it gonna do, come out scuffed? Don't worry, Strats travel really well because they're flat compared to Gibson shapes.Fingers cross it will survive shipping!

I haven't played it recently but... the way Rocksmith works is that when you first try one of the songs it intentionally simplifies the notes it asks you to play to make it easier for you if you're a beginner. So for example it might just get you to play the note C rather than a full chord at first. Once you have repeated that bit of the song ~5 or so times without getting the note wrong it will change it so you're playing 2 or 3 notes of the chord, and then after another ~5 times playing that right it will become the full chord (and another ~5 or so times after that it will stop even showing you the notes and you just play it from memory). It's quite a good system for learning, my only criticism is if you take a long break from the game you can't jump back in as easily (e.g. on my game I had mastered the Muse song on there and now if I go to play it I get no notes appearing, and I can't remember the song that well! There must be a way to reset this but I haven't spent long looking)
As for your 3rd vs 4th fret problem... it won't be intonation as the guitar would have to be totally ******* for frets that low down on the neck to be out of whack (if the string is in tune). I would say more likely the problem might be that you are pushing just a little bit too hard when fretting the 3rd fret which is causing the string to go slightly sharp and Rocksmith is picking it up. You really don't have to press very hard at all - a great exercise sometimes is to play through some stuff you know well but really concentrate hard on applying the absolute minimum amount of pressure you can get away with; you'll surprise yourself with just how little it actually is Edit: and you'll surprise yourself again after that with how much faster and more fluidly you can play if you don't press down so hard
Out of curiosity why from the states? I've noticed the local shop has quite a few for sale or are the ones you have limited runs that are hard to get over here?I’ve had 3 PRS came over from the States unscathed but this thread now worries me lol

Is it wrong that I want a PRS just for the inlays?
Originally had a 1963 Strat but sold it years ago (regret that move lol) b
