Ordered some ABR1 saddle screws, washers, and clips from Faber USA so I can try and flip one of my saddles around 180 degrees for better intonation.
I actually have a Gotoh ABR1 so I'm only using the Teflon washers if they fit, which they should. Everything I see online about people swapping a saddle around on Gotohs says that the Teflon washers get destroyed in the process so you need new ones to put it back together or it rattles. So I'm going to attempt to use these Teflon washers to put it back together. If they don't work, I'll likely just order another bridge.

Two straps from Sweetwater were delivered today, but I'm sending them back as I don't like them.
How funny. I'm sending back the Fender tweed quiklok strap I just bought, also. The quiklok doesn't lock onto my strap buttons that well. If you pull on it with any sort of uneven force, it pops right off. And these are Fender buttons so you'd think they'd work together. They also rattle wayyyy too loudly for me. Hopefully they'll have the normal tweed straps back in stock soon. I think it was Arkansas Musicworks?
So..... did you sell all your other amps and cabs??

I’m waiting for a Boss TR-2 Tremolo coming in the mail this week. I had been debating between that and a Keeley Dynatrem.
I couldn’t resist and made an offer on a Dynatrem on eBay from ProAudioStar. They accepted. No more for awhile now.

Tonerider TRT2 Bridge pick-up for Honey, which is my #1 guitar. It’s an American Performer Telecaster, which I’ve previously fitted with a SD MiniHumbucker in the Neck position, and a concentric tone pot (250/500) with Strat-style wiring so I can get the most of the tonal range of both pickups. I just couldn’t gel with the Bridge Yosemite though, it was too ‘quacky’ for my liking - (hard to describe, I may be using the wrong word) so decided that a £30 punt on this Tonerider was worthwhile.
As it turns out, it was! More than happy now with the tone of the Bridge Position now!

I’m having analysis paralysis. Can’t decide between the TS808 or TS9.New Tube Screamer.
Demon FX makes a pedal that has both. I bet they aren't the only ones.
Just ordered 2 sets of strap locks.
1 set of Satin Pearl Schaller S-Locks for $19.99
1 set of chrome Fender 1st Gen S-Lock style locks for $9.99
I've had the Schallers saved on my, Amazon shopping list for like 2 years and they were still there for the same price. They're actually being shipped from Guitar Tools International in Texas.

No I bough their screws that come with washers and E-clips. I did that in case I could use the E clip or the screws as replacements, also. After doing a lot of research, it seems there are people who have successfully pulled their Gotoh saddles and turned them around without damaging the OEM washer or anything else so I may try it soon.
The first few times I looked it up, I kept only finding stories of people who tore up the stock washer, so their saddles would rattle and wouldn't stay in place afterwards. Without the washer to take up the slack, it rattled back & forth, effectively changing the scale length by ±X amount each time.

Just got this little guy. I used to hate mini pedals but they’re growing on me … and on my board. It’s adorable. Cost me nothing since I had some rewards points on Amazon.
I was going to hold out for the Boss EQ but I only have a tiny spot available so figured for free I’d see if it did the trick. I have an FX Loop on my board that engages my HM2/Rams Head combo so been wanting a graphic EQ on the loop to fine tweak.
Came with a handy little bag which I guess I’ll use for picks.
