This should be the pinned the comment

I love you❤

I'm glad this is the second comment. I can go right to this comment to see what category he's on.

What do you think I've been doing for the past few years? ;-)>

+WillsEasyGuitar How the hell do you get the whammy bars hooked into these. I'm used to offcial Floyd Rose where they screw on. This one has a tapered spot at the end where it snaps in, but no matter how much I push it doesn't go in.

+Jeffery A. Hunt Hey bro, can I have a couple of your guitars...please? lol! Man, I am jealous - I have two! Jack

+Bronzesnake If you find yourself in 'Vegas, Hit me up! I bet we could work out some kind of a deal!

Jeffery A. Hunt Hey brother - the kind of deal where I trade money for one or two of your guitars? lol! Bro, I'm a fiddy tree year old disabled fart, and I can't even afford bus fare to the end of my street! But thank you kindly for the offer. What are you into Jeff? I started out playing acoustic to play Beatles stuff because I just love their tuneages. I bought my first descent acoustic...actually, I'll back up a wee bit, I almost forgot about my first guitar ever. Mum inherited her father's Yorkshire English addiction to flea market selling. And of course, being the youngest I was forced at gun point to dig stuff out of the small garage for the market, and I kid you not the stuff was all bought by Mum and her equally addicted sister, my aunt Joyce...dam do I miss them...sigh Anyway, the stuff filled the entire floor space, which wasn't much at about twenty by twenty ,and it actually touched the roof in some places!! That is some serious ass hoarding!! They never considered the concept of money in vs money out, because I'm positive they spent way more than they ever recovered! It was a labour of love bro. Where was I? Oh - I was forced at gun point to drag sufficient crap out of the garage under constant threat of cave in, or crapvalanch! to fill the old 67 Ford Wagon. Then, the next day I was woken up at 5am...again, at gun point and dragged my tired ass to the flea market a thousand miles away... it felt like it anyway - then unload and set up tables etc. My end was a percentage of the filthy lucre to spend where I saw fit -and I saw fit!! I bought a cheese grater 5 dollar acoustic welfare sunburst acoustic, and I think it was a "Laughatchew" I can't believe I actually learned to play on that hunka hunka burning fire wood! Then, one glorious saturday morning, I was scanning potential scorage when I spied a really sweet looking electric guitar on top of a pile of old clothes, broken toys and other crap. It was the most awesome thing my ten year old eye balls had ever seen. A sweet, sweet glossy white with awesome chrome looking hardware, which I had no clue what it was for. It had one string. So mum schooled me in the finer art of the deal and I asked what he wanted, about an hour before opening, and instantly paid up! Mum was steamed that I didn't bicker him down but for crying out loud I was ten!! So I didn't have the first clue as to how to get things back together, and working and so I left it in a closet for years. I bought a Yamaha FG 365 if I remember correctly, acoustic and just loved that thing! I ended up trading it for an electric, and cannot remember what it was, I just know I hated myself for years after that...sigh. OK, get this. I quit school and moved out of a perfect loving middle class home to live with my native American Cheyenne girlfriend. I was adopted at 4 days old and my parents were both from England. Dad was a WWII vet - an officer aboard the HMS Illustrious aircraft carrier during the war. I was Scottish, Cherokee and Irish, and so I had a thing for the Native ladies and Vicky was Miss Multiple Universe for life...in my mind. We lived with bikers, and I started my pharmaceutical experimentation, and an in-depth study of the effects of consuming copious amounts of Gold Tequila! I also started my street fighting career and my prison career followed very shortly thereafter...sigh...such an idiot! I started singing in bands, and we played Beatles - then expanded into classic rock from 50s 60s and 70s - The Who, Eagles, Red Zepperwin -etc. I got to be a purdy decent singer and bands were scouting my ass!! Woo! I floated around for a few years then joined Another Lie based in Toronto where I was born and lived till 19 years. One day, some friends of Victoria's came from Quebec to live in Toronto with us. We got our own place away from the retarded biker scene - don't get me wrong, I loved a lot of those bros, but it was destroying my life! They both played guitar and I was just getting back into the guitar, when Lee pulled out his Gibson Les Paul............ See where this is going? Ya, I bought a real Gibson Les Paul at a freaking yard sale when I was a ten year old punk, for $25!! I had not contacted my folks for over two years, because I was too busy being a full time asshole, but the second I realized what I had, I rushed back home to retrieve it! I bought it in 1972, so it was at least that old, and more likely older be still my sputtering heart! Here's how that went "hey Mum, where's my white electric guitar" Mum - "oh, I sold that at the flea market after you dumped us on the curb..........NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! But yes. She made twenty bucks on it, because she sold it to some jack-ass who had a shit eating grin on his face, knowing exactly what this little old English lady had....bastard! So, there's my broken heart story bro! lol! Take care man. Jack

+Bronzesnake Well, that's a damned heart-breaker right there. Awesome story for the latter years, though, I must say. I am to finish my 50th year here in April, all things willing. "My Harem" was, at first, part turn-over axes, part awesome I-always-wanted-one's, but somehow they cannot seem to find their way back thru the door once here! Being a Bassist and Vocalist for years and looking to put together another act, I got tired of "I play, but my shit is in pawn", so I began to remedy that my own way. I have Axes, Amps, P.A.,Drumset, Effect processors, Lighting, Studio gear, whatever the case may call for. So now there is no "in pawn" because "Let's just go play!" Good for on-the-spot weeding out the wannabees at the same time. A few other brands, but mostly the largest Ibanez collection I know of. Great quality, better price. I still claim I don't actually play Guitar and I mean it, I just fake it well enough. I do play Bass, and do still sing, but "gettin' the Band back together" could be a bit of a reach, who knows. I sure have fun goofin' around though! When I was younger, it was the "Old guys" who had the toys we knew we could make better use of, and now I ain't a kid anymore and I like to think that I am more Mentor than those guys were. Buyin', sellin', tradin', sharin', even lendin' 'em, but mostly playin' these bastards and gettin' the interest in positive activity like live music, a focus on creativity, that's the fave aspect of it for me. The one thing I know at this point is, regardless, there is always room for just one more, but that's it, no more.....Just one more. L O L ! ! ! ! !

Ya I found out the hard way. My floating bridge no longer floats. I'm in the beginner stages still and wanting to try out a diff variety of strings till I noticed my bridge was pulling out. I wanted to still change strings so I taped up 2 dimes and wedged it in there. Fixed. Fixed bridge lol

Your 17 year old strat, unless you have 16 before it🏆😁

they probably charged you $300 for those items. lol

@@WillsEasyGuitar 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Intonation logic.... (I know why all the saddle locations aren't exactly double the distance from the nut to the 12th fret.) When you imagine the length of a vibrating string it's typically from one node at the top of the saddle to a second node to the nut for an open string or to the top of a fingered fret. We imagine that these effective ends of the string are like hinge points--like a jump rope emerging from the ends of tubular wooden handles. It isn't quite like that. Steel strings have stiffness. They are not hinged at the top of frets or other contact points. Imagine a fret, nut or saddle being like your hand stiffly holding on the the end of a casting rod and the rod is the guitar string. As you whip the rod, the rod doesn't hinge at the end of the rod handle. It gradually bends because of the rod's stiffness. As this analogy applies to guitar strings, this same flex happens at both ends of a vibrating guitar string. The string stiffness has the effect of foreshortening the node location: the effective node is slightly before the saddle and just past the fret and not a perfect arc from contact point to contact point. Thicker wire is stiffer. This means that to compensate for this foreshortening, the saddle must be moved farther from the nut for thick wire than for thin wire. Notice I said thicker "wire", not thicker "strings". That's because the stiffness of wound strings is a function of the thickness of the wire inside, not the overall wound string thickness. This explains the geometry of non-adjustable saddles on acoustic guitars. The first two strings, E and B, are unwound. They're also fairly thin and the distance from the nut to the 12th fret is only very slightly less than the distance from the 12th fret to the nut. The G string is wound but inside the winding is a wire about the same thickness as the 1st E string, so its saddle location is about the same as as the E string. The rest of the strings are wound and the wires inside are progressively thicker than the wire in the G string. So the individual saddle locations for all the strings are pretty much on two parallel lines. One line intersects the contact points of the first two strings (E and B). The other line, parallel to the first, intersects the contact points of the other four strings. I don't do videos. If you agree with this information, you may use it in one of yours.

oh really please explain how that works then

Headwind-1 I don’t understand that advice. The gap gets wider on mine as it goes up the neck.

It doesn't lol

@@Headwind-1 perhaps.... watch the video?

***** i have a question tho, i kinda tried to set up my floyd so it gets back into the tune once i use it during the play but me playing here and there with it and trying to set the floyd to be equal with the body, since i am using D tune, suddenly from using 2 springs i have to change to 3 springs on the floyd, and my strings have much more tension now then they had, why is that? my problem is that i ain't really sure if that tension is good or it should be very easy to touch the strings when being in lower tune as it is D tune

Well put! Guitars get kicked to the curb when they have so much potential. Shame.

***** I agree, i should've said ''floyd rose style - licensed by floyd bridges mighty damage, maybe over time'' but we can't assume every single person watching this has an original floyd rose with hardend steel parts. Most people watching this probably just got their first floyd rose equiped guitar and they might not know whether they have an original floyd or an korean copy with the floyd rose stamp on it. All i want is to tell them that not all floyds are unbreakable and have a good time with theirs. Also, if they ever went over to their friends and are like ''oh yeah i know how to raise or lower the floyd on your guitar'' and not knowing whether their friends has an original or korean/chinese copy, they might screw it up. Anyway, happy new year to you all, keep up the good work WillsEasyGuitar!

Harmonic is always in tune with open string

CommodoreWog how do you do it harmonically?

HAHAHAHAHA OMG, I'M DYING!

Lol that's right!

HA-HA, GOTCHA!

GOT EEM

you called

more = most

+RB yea setups around my area are around $45 dollars. I do all my own work though so it's free haha

Jmyster4 my guitar is 100$

Roko Krstičević bruh same. I have 2 electrics, one was about 180 and the other was free because my friend gave it to me 💀

There is no such thing as a "perfect intonation" your tuner may say it's perfect but your ear will still detect is just sounds off.

Why would any "normal" set up be $200? I'm just wondering.
