I never win anything like that and I was a bit sceptical if it was fake, but it turned out to be real They don't have Ibanez guitars, so I couldn't really put the money towards a new guitar, which I'm looking to buy, and in general they don't have THAT many interesting things in the $165 price range, but I got a few things. Free stuff is always nice! Some picks (Ernie Ball Prodigy Mini White), a 25ft XLR cable (so I can make it reach when I set up my DIY vocal booth, instead of running it along the floor), a new strap (for hopefully a new guitar soon!), 4 sets of strings (Ernie Ball 0838, 2x Paradigm sets and a cobalt set), as well as some cleaner and conditioner for the fretboard (I have never tried or used that stuff before).

Haven't tried them on my strat. But when I used to play my old SG (rest its soul), they sounded a bit more brighter than regular set. Which I liked, mainly because my sg had a very dark tone.

Mar 4 2021, 12:24 AM	Learning Rock Star Posts: 7.676 Joined: 14-June 08 From: Odense, Denmark	Had some dumb moments tonight. I put in the 0942 paradigms, cut the loose ends, tuned up, high e-string then all of a sudden slipped out of the tuning peg. I found another one I had lying around, though a D'addario. I usually use 8's, which I haven't had any problems with, but I had a 9 lying around, so I put that on to match the set. Kept slipping out of the saddle. ARGH! Finally got it to stay, but something is slipping ever so slightly either at the tuning peg or the saddle. It keeps going flatter and flatter. I'm tempted to take the strings off again and try the cobalts. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

If not, I'd say lock them down. it is odd that a thicker string would slip at the bridge. After locking, unscrew the alan nut all the way out on that string at the bridge and re seat it by screwing it all the way back in. Hopefully that sorts is QUOTE (Caelumamittendum @ Mar 3 2021, 07:24 PM) Had some dumb moments tonight.

Interesting, maybe cause of the extra tension the bridge angle increased which may be causing the saddle slipping? as for tuning pegs, maybe cause of different material it needs more winding than you're used to. But if you feel you'll have to over-tighten thing that might damage the guitar hardware don't do it. You got those for testing anyway so just conclude they don't work for you.

That happened to 2 of my friends with Les Paul's and yeah its a real bummer but glue'ing worked better than expected for both cases. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It could be the extra tension, yes. I didn't think about this. I think it was in the saddle, but I think I got it working now, however I did have to tighten A LOT and I didn't like this feeling, almost like it was about to break.

I replaced my blocks 3-4 years ago, gotoh blocks are very durable (lasted 20 years for me) but start to crack in time specially the on the higher strings. Finding floyd replacement blocks were easier for me than gotoh, but those blocks are smaller. Still works though and wasn't expensive either.

Felt like I was going to break something, either the sadle or the alan wrench. QUOTE (Caelumamittendum @ Mar 9 2021, 10:20 AM) It could be the extra tension, yes. I didn't think about this.
