    At 1:04 you say "Thought" and your voice drops 3 octaves and you summon a demon from the underworld. Great unboxing and demo!

    I would drop in EMGs with the 24V battery mod.

    This guitar looks really good. But I don't like the active pickups. It's not expensive, but I would change the pickups. The Seymoure Duncan Black Winter humbuckers would be much better for me...
    This could be a good guitar for rock and more heavy sounds, with other strings in a low tuning...
    I will try a Starcaster next week... A friend and I are visiting a big guitar store... 😊🤘

    the SQR active pickups could be swapped out easily for EMGs via their direct plug-in system. Connections looked compatible last ones I had. comparison videos possibly ? Wonder if difference is negligible. I had a contemporary strat & I didn't bond with them, & especially not the Floyd Rose-y bridge. (Was I ever in tune? I don't know😒)

    Hi. I’ve had an eye on one of these for a little while now, so stoked to see this bad boy in your thumbnail 10 mins back. 👍👍
    Wondering how much hotter the pups are compared to something like the J Mascis (which I also own)… cheers.

    • @TSFAHTPS

      They seem really hot…I’ll do a comparison shortly

    Hey, this is going to sound maybe not nice so I'd really like to say, I enjoy your content. But the "clean sounds" portion of the video is so so far from a clean sound. I wish you would review this stuff through an actual mic'd Deluxe Reverb or Princeton Reverb for example, and then do the emulated stuff?

    • @TSFAHTPS

      I was really surprised at how much output those pickups had…I’ll definitely do more with it with a much cleaner sound! I usually always leave all my amps on the same setting so you can kinda hear the difference between the guitars, and I do usually like a slightly pushed clean…but no other guitar of mine pushed the amps clean channel into that much overdrive

    That headstock looks like a shoe.
