Friggin' licensed floyd rose. Had a string slip out of the locks on the bridge. What a pain! Simple enough a fix, but still.I'm so sick of this thing. I don't use it at all, I'm not even a lead player anyway.
I really like the guitar minus the floyd on it, but I'm probably gonna replace this thing sooner or later anyway. It's a LTD V-250, I figure I can step up to a V-401 FM and be pretty happy. Pretty much the same guitar, but the 401 is set through neck instead of bolt on, has a Tone-o-matic bridge instead of a tremolo, and comes with a pair of EMG 81s stock (might see about replacing the neck one with an 85). Plus it's got an always sexy flamed maple top.
Yeah, I know I can block the trem. That's how I've had it lately. Still have occasional problems with it. Wish someone would make a hardtail bridge that was a straight drop in replacement for a floyd. Oh well. Good excuse to look at new guitars anyway I think.
: Made an offer on an RX-8 Shinka! Found the perfect one.
: Still have to sell the Miata. I'm able to make a pretty hefty down payment but it all depends on whether the seller agrees.
After a talk, I think I've decided to get some therapy. My social issues are seriously starting to get to me, and my lack of motivation to better myself has brought me full circle back to where I was when I was a teen: hating myself. Although I don't feel that way when I'm around my daughter, I still don't want her around somebody like that. I've always avoided seeking "professional help", so this is a big change for me. I may actually go seek friends out in the real world too, as the Internet hasn't been the best place to find them. Sometimes I think I'm just stupid/annoying and not very good friend materiel.
Add "Pikachu" to my daughter's vocabulary. We were looking up images of Sonic, Mario and Meg Man when she noticed the little yellow electric mouse and insisted I tell her what it was because she remembered seeing it before. When I was leaving for work, she grabbed my Pokemon Adventures Manga out of my pocket and said "Chu!!!". Then proceeded to color what I assume was a Pikachu on some construction paper.
