You made the guitar look sick! Shows it's partly about the person holding it in addition to the guitar itself. If a guitar is gonna have any downsides, "it's too easy to play" is a good one to have. I think I'll get one once money permits

Thanks! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. This guitar is awesome, no other word I can think to describe it.

Starndberg 😂 laughed out loud 🔥🌹

[@isaiahhartguitar]

Didn’t even notice until you said something 😂 thanks for calling it out

[@alexstrand2440]

I think it sounded pretty good live!

[@isaiahhartguitar]

I’m actually become more of a fan of the sound of the guitar, it’s not super hot, but it has its on flavor!

I getcha on fighting the guitar. I like to dig in and play hard on my solos. The guitar actually looked good on stage. 🙂

[@isaiahhartguitar]

The look surprised me! I’ve been getting a lot more used to the guitars lack of fight. I bring it to every rehearsal but I haven’t performed with it again as of now.

@@isaiahhartguitar I play Metal, Rock, and Blues so I’d use it for Metal & Rock. I’ll definitely keep that in mind when I try it out. Thank you for the insight 🙂

I have the blue one and from my experience it doesn’t have a good enough “punch”. The pickups feel to be too weak/thin. Pickup swap in the near future will definitely happen

[@isaiahhartguitar]

Honestly, I kinda agree with you. After having it for a longer while I’m not sure about putting gain through these pickups. They clean up ok but definitely can sound a bit brittle. I considered one of the two sets of pickups Mark Holcomb is making with Seymour Duncan.

[@codymoffitt421]

I agree with this. Can’t cut with my band on the essential the same as I can with other guitars

[@patledoc]

Excellent !

[@isaiahhartguitar]

Thanks!

I always say it's impossible to claim that one guitar is objectively better than another for the exact reason you're reflecting over - I will agree 100% with @oooomz7578 and say that I can live with making a guitar that is too easy to play :) Also, I agree that the look was spot on for the context as well! Very cool to hear your thoughts about it being easy to get around on a crowded stage with it.
