Hmmm, a good start with the Beta Lead. We will see spec wise where it stacks up against boutique copies like From Hillbish Design.

Here's the challenge, do they try to capitalize on the Doom nerds (like me) who will spend $3K for "the head" used (not like me), or will they actually try to be competitive in the market with their reissues.

I had a somewhat similar situation concerning the finish, but also the tuning pegs. The finish I wanted was more to do with the amount of poly, or lack there of, and wanting matte black. The tuning pegs l wanted were the Hipshot locking tuners, but one rogue Reverb posting made me think these weren't the tuners I wanted. I saw some of the Dunable CS guitars with tuning pegs that had exposed gears, they looked like hipshot tuners and even had the brand name on them but for some reason every stock photo of this one Reverb guitar never had exposed gears. I was guessing this listing had it wrong, they copied the original spec sheet and switched the tuning pegs out, but it turns out that Hip shot just makes opened and closed tuning pegs haha.

Came so close to buying a different one that was close enough on Reverb but I decided that was short sighted since I'd rather get the wrong tuning pegs and change them out latter versus getting a guitar that I didn't customize AND it having a vibrola which I was not a fan of. A good night's rest and literally the 4th image on google of hipshot locking tuners had the exposed gears haha.

 

This is meant to be light hearted but I'm currently waiting for a Dunable Asteroid, I'm currently at 3 months of my 4-6 month wait time and I'm now starting to get ancy haha. I keep looking at the spec sheet, deciding where I'm going to hang the guitar, the first song I'm going to play on it, looking up pictures of similar colored CS guitars Dunable has put out. Is this what Christmas feels like? I had almost forgotten haha.

What's the funniest thing you've done while anticipating your Custom Shop arrival?

I'd also like to add that maybe the Tone pack/plugin/program just isn't going to give what you want. I was all about BiasFX for years because it was easy to use, but to really get the tone I wanted I just had to double track essentially and have the program opened twice. Before I tried every setting and making sure I didn't accidentally have the output in stereo but everything was there. This is where the Cab IRs everyone mentions might have come in handy.

But the I started using Line 6 Metallurgy plugins and man. I've never heard a plugin sound so close to a analog fuzzy orange Doom tone. Shop around and take advantage of free trials.

Heard some people joking about making Gummi ships. So just a straight box might not be that undoable.

 

Personally I'm into arrow shaped space ships, so I'm going to be aiming for something along those lines on my first playthrough. Think of an Anaconda from Elite Dangerous, or a RSI Galaxy from Star Citizen, how big it is depends on how the systems and ship building work.

Do you have an article or video for that? 76 was uncapped so I assumed Starfield would be as well.

I like to limit myself to a realistic loadout for a challenge. That means a melee weapon (knife or hand-axe), a Pistol, and an Assault Rifle/Shotgun/Sniper, whatever the situation calls for.
