My favorite musical instrument is my piano. I find it to be a very elegant instrument that not only requires a lot of skill to play, which I appreciate, but also requires a certain delicacy.

^Looks like a decent set to bang on.

My guitar corner will be getting relocated to make way for a fish tank:



It was originally supposed to be something temporary but it's lasted 5 years.

Here's the new (to me) 42 gal. tank and some chonk. 2 plecostomus came with it and they've been living in that tank for almost 10 years so they're about 6 inches (15.24 cm) and about 4 (10.16 cm). I need to get a good pic of both and post em up in the Pet Pic thread but it's tricky to get a shot like that with these two chonkers.







The guitar corner has been relocated successfully:

Ever played one? I don't like regular rounded necks anymore! Total trip. Just wish they'd been around 20 year s earlier.

I must have déjà vu cause I distinctly remember you saying that before, I could be wrong though. I remember you buying a very expensive Les Paul then ended up selling it.

What is the purpose of having two nearly identical guitars? If you are playing at a gig and you have the guitar with one knob do you have to tell the band to hold up cause the next song you're going to play you'll need to switch to the guitar with two knobs? Then they start without you anyways and you wish you had a single guitar that sound like both the one knob and two knob guitar.

Honestly you should do a guitar video shoot out between the one knob and two knob guitar. See how different they are sonically from each other.

Anything I said previous to 2019 is highly suspect. I was making terrible financial and gear decisions for a few years there.

The combination of the lightweight (5 lbs), cool body shape (is comfy to play standing, sitting, even lying down - I tried it), the multi-scale (it transitions from a Strat scale on the low E to Les Paul on the high E), and the crazy neck have all helped my playing more than I would have imagined.

And Neo, I can't believe you have to ask about the benefits of having two knobs over one. It's simple math silly. Two is bigger, better, and simply MORE than one.

Duh.
