Modding amplifiers is an advanced skill. I wouldn't trust myself with it Of course, someone might explain that digital modelling simply cannot be gaffed and make fun of those who tried it…

I'll have to go into the deep editing software LeoThunder , and see if I can find the Gaffa Tape settings. Wonder if there'll be a choice of + or x format?

I would expect a tape thickness control.

I would expect a tape thickness control. As standard. Presumably the problem of stickiness will have been addressed in the v.2 edition of the software. Is this a patch?

If a good guitar is one that makes you want to play, I suppose this one passes the test:

And yet in the first video he said the neck gave him cramp. He planed the neck.

And yet in the first video he said the neck gave him cramp. He did, and repeated it. I find it strange how most people reviewing this guitar fail to even mention the neck size. It seems to be a very personal issue. I have no problem with it, although I did find it very different at first. I suppose his playing standing with the guitar hanging low plays a role. And the way he grips the neck, of course. He remarked how broad the neck is too, saying it is the broadest one he has. I never noticed that.

So that's what I'm finding tiring to my arm, lol! I mean, I'm not much of a guitar player and may apply too much force, but the wizardy Ibanez thingy doesn't give me those issues. But I also have his problem, I'd have a hard time returning it, I like the sound a lot, and the vintagey bling look He mentioned that his neck shaving wasn't totally even over the whole thing, though? Shaving on the thing with some knife... I wonder whether there's a method of doing that not so easily messed up, and with a consistent result over the neck. Wondering now whether I should get some used Squier strat and compare first what the actual neck size feels like. Which we know that's how much can be shaven off, as Dave tried it for us . Let's just hope the truss rod will never pop the thinned neck open. I think I never touched a "real strat".

So that's what I'm finding tiring to my arm, lol! I mean, I'm not much of a guitar player and may apply too much force, but the wizardy Ibanez thingy doesn't give me those issues. That may well be. Gripping too hard is the first mistake everyone makes and I found a new neck often brings slightly different positions that strain muscles at first. I had that on bass for a while and it went away. I have become indifferent to neck profiles. It's an unpleasant decision to make if you are within the 15 day free return period, as there is not much time to experiment. I would expect a Squier to be thinner but still not as an Ibanez Wizard. Ibanez Wizard: 19 mm at 1st fret, 21 mm at 12th Rockinger neck: 21.5 mm at 1st fret, 23.5 mm at 12th HB ST-62 DLX: 22.5 mm at 1st fret, 24.5 mm at 12th This post in Strat Talk list a few Strat' necks as follows:
