I stayed up late playing GTA:V just so I'd wake up later, eating up more of the day.

Saints Row is WAY better than GTA, just saying.

Saints Row 2 is still a great game even though it's years old and the graphics are a bit meh.

Especially the mission where you drive a sewage truck and spray the buildings and cops. That's my favourite bit.

Right now I'm watching Dr.Phil and listening for the distinct rumble of a mail truck engine.

I'll just take today slow and enjoy coffee :P

And so begins the teardown, cleaning, reassembly, installation, and setup.

Well that's going to need a good clean. Should be decent quality though, I remember DiMarzio made a few Strat clones in the 1980s that got rave reviews. Then they dropped out of the guitar building business altogether.

This has got to be a #$@*&!% sick joke. I can't believe it, it's pretty much. A drop in replacement.

Looking at the saddles, they're in worse shape than the other ones I currently have. Because of that, I'm using my old ones

It should be a drop in. Dimarzio never actually made their own bodies (even though in the 80s sold Dimarzio guitars).. but did sell replacement bodies so it makes sense it would be meant to drop in anything that uses a vintage Strat style bridge.

You wanna sell those Dimarzio saddles? :twisted:

I would, but they all have burrs and one or two are cracked.

I like the trem arm. It sits higher and gives the guitar a mean look

Well hold on to them. If I ever find myself one of those at a reasonable price I am jumping on it. You never know it might need a saddle or two. Of course a cracked one is useless but burr I can remove and use any uncracked one.
