thanks man! thats all orange tv50 set clean and slashed a bit hard with the 500T in the SG.
no tuning issues. its a B5, roller bridge (kahler? i cant remember) and i put some graphite in the nut slots a long ass time ago. just as stable as it was when the TOM was on it, IMO. but i do give the strings a bit of a workout before i even fully tune it finally. but i do that to any guitar.

Here's mine, thought I don't think we keep it very up to date. But there's a video of our single from last September, so someone's done
something to it.

some of your comments are interesting for a few reasons

WOT story: (TLDR: we have vox on half the songs live, some remain instrumental and i hope to change that soon. need to get in to record them though)
we started as the keyboardist and i, and he was no proper keys player. just new 5th chords in minor and major, played on a little casio thing he traded for a pizza from his friend. it sounded shitty enough to be dirty, so we put it through a usa muff. we recorded "pulse" with an alesis SR16 in our apartment, and our sound was born you could say.
since then, we filled out the band, and of course the sound as well. this started to pose some issues, as we were really a noise/instrumental thing before. well people started to ask, both within and outside the band, when the vocals were coming. as a player, ive always sang and played. i had some lyrics floating around. and started to get some pressure to put some in. so i started to write, and just belt out shit over the din at jams, having no PA. got back to texas, got access to a studio, recorded some of the stuff you see on RN, to include Animal Planet. By that point, some of the songs were starting to gain this stigma of "untouchability" in just being instrumental, namely by my keyboard player, which i found strange since he used to push for vox, and still does, on things. so now we've been playing shows out and getting a little following and people are hearing the same songs more than once, and the current climate is that half or so have lyrics. we space those out in the set, to my satisfaction, though i have been wanting to do more. no i am getting feedback from people outside of the band "hey where are the rest of the vocals? y'all don't want to be a jam band, do you?" etc. i agree with that feedback. now some ofthe songs people are requesting vox on the most are some of the ones that my keyboardist doesn't want touched vocally, namely Animal Planet and Suburbia Attacks! (which he had even pitched in some lyrics on

) And we're getting ready to go back into the studio in various capacities, so it should get interesting. But i have some lyrics and vocal melodies ready, we'll see how it goes.
which has me curious, what words were you making up? theme wise is fine, just curious what you hear when you hear that music. and keyboardists can be a-holes. don't be jealous
