    They just get richer and richer as the price goes up. However it’s a very steep point of diminishing returns. I don’t see why you’d need to go beyond the 2k guitar unless you have serious money laying around

    lol you can see the fret marks from this converted guitar. That with muscle memory alone... Dudes acting like its all guesswork

    • @brandonacker
      @brandonacker День тому

      If you played it you would realize you are mistaken. My muscle memory is for stopping the notes on the metal frets which you can feel and since they were gone, my muscle memory didn't work. We don't play with our eyes, we play with muscle memory. So while I got 80% of the way there, everything was out of tune because moving your finger a millimeter changes the pitch which doesn't happen with frets.

    I think the 200k sounded the best, but I felt a really good connection between you and the 20k one. It looked like you were made for each other, like you understood each other. The tone of the last one was incredibly sweet, but my opinion is that the 20k one just suits you personally better

    So i tried this build a week ago, its as strong as it seems. A thought of counterplay i had would be to use hawkmoon. Since they are healing constantly, you need a one shot that builds up without kills, and since hawkmoon does this well it can be good counterplay. Its not as effective when you are on a timer such as a zone gamemode, but thats my tip for counterplay. (Revision zero can also work, but i dont use that gun much)
