Hmmm, a good start with the Beta Lead. We will see spec wise where it stacks up against boutique copies like From Hillbish Design.

Here’s the challenge, do they try to capitalize on the Doom nerds (like me) who will spend $3K for “the head” used (not like me), or will they actually try to be competitive in the market with their reissues.

I had a somewhat similar situation concerning the finish, but also the tuning pegs. The finish I wanted was more to do with the amount of poly, or lack there of, and wanting matte black. The tuning pegs l wanted were the Hipshot locking tuners, but one rogue Reverb posting made me think these weren’t the tuners I wanted. I saw some of the Dunable CS guitars with tuning pegs that had exposed gears, they looked like hipshot tuners and even had the brand name on them but for some reason every stock photo of this one Reverb guitar never had exposed gears. I was guessing this listing had it wrong, they copied the original spec sheet and switched the tuning pegs out, but it turns out that Hip shot just makes opened and closed tuning pegs haha.

Came so close to buying a different one that was close enough on Reverb but I decided that was short sighted since I’d rather get the wrong tuning pegs and change them out latter versus getting a guitar that I didn’t customize AND it having a vibrola which I was not a fan of. A good night’s rest and literally the 4th image on google of hipshot locking tuners had the exposed gears haha.

Heard some people joking about making Gummi ships. So just a straight box might not be that undoable.

I like to limit myself to a realistic loadout for a challenge. That means a melee weapon (knife or hand-axe), a Pistol, and an Assault Rifle/Shotgun/Sniper, whatever the situation calls for.
