the tuners are Grover Rotomatics, and they're fine. it might be unreasonable to expect a guitar to hold its tuning in winter, especially since it probably needs to settle in a bit. it's rather unusual for me not to have to retune whatever instrument i pick up.

Thanks qersty! I've always been a sucker for a pretty face. :D

I was considering a red SG Standard until I saw the honeyburst. It was love at first sight. :love:

Mine has Wilkinson Vintage Classic Machine Heads and today everything was fine. I really had trouble with it going way out of tune yesterday. I didn't get to play today until about 6:30 pm, but after not having touched it since yesterday, 4 of the strings were still in tune and the other 2 were close. Confidence level = high. :thumb:


I'm thinking yesterday's tuning problems might have been because it was shipped detuned. The same thing happened with my Duo Sonic; it arrived detuned, was buggy to tune up the first day, but after a day the tuning became stable. Lesson learned.

i would put new strings on first thing. strings on new guitars are almost always awful and half-dead at best.

Demos are slim out there for it, but he has a couple of quick clips, and I’ll be posting some clips on my IG - @audio_semaphore, if anyone is interested. It’s the most fun I’ve had with a pedal in a while. I thought I would maybe only really dig one or two settings, but I’ve found lots of great (broken, ugly, warbly, distorted) sounds I like in it.

Incoming: Seppuku 2014 MemLoss

Simply build a few of your pedals and sell them! ;) And the MemoryLoss was quite cheap in comparison to other Reverb sales in the past.

Received the little bass today. I am really glad I went with this 23 inch scale and not smaller because even that feels a bit weird. I'm always landing straight on a fret :lol:
Sounds good tho and feels solid.
