You might get RSI just watching this.

I've got two HBs.
The first is a gorgeous Telecaster clone which oddly has two humbuckers and a trem. Thing is, I HATED it when I got it. Scratchy frets, neck not right. Awful. It was the guitar that finally made me learn to adjust a truss rod. I polished the frets, straightened out the neck a bit and oddly it's become my favourite guitar. I like it a lot more than the actual real Telecaster I used to own.
I also got a CST-24 Hollow Body. Which is basically their PRS rip off guitar. It's horrid. It looks nice but it's on eBay as we speak.

I've got some sketchy Chinese-made-probably wireless transmitters from Amazon called Getaria. Battery life, sound and latency are okay but I'd be up for upgrading. Anyone got any recs?

Hi, everyone. I'm Richie. Been playing forever. Was a shredder type in the 90s but more recently I've decided to man-up and learn jazz which is, by far, the hardest thing ever.
Favourite guitarists are;
Geordie Walker (Killing Joke)
Rocky George (Suicidal Tendencies)
Rick Hunolt (Exodus)
Robert Smith (The Cure)
I like cheap guitars that look pretty. If I won the lottery I'd by some sort of Gretsch though.
Comfiest guitar?

It's a balancing act for me between comfort, looks and functionality. I'm sure Strats are comfortable but I hate the look (reminds me of Bryan Adams). First time I played a Les Paul I couldn't believe how much I DIDN'T like it. It felt horribly chunky.
I've got three electrics at the moment (arguably too many). My Ibanez RG421 is unbelievably playable. I bought it in a shop and it was immediately great. I kind of messed it up by replacing the bridge (NEVER get Cosmo Chrome, it tarnishes quick so I replaced it with black) but then I got dead frets. So I had it adjusted by a pro guy near me and it's now basically playing itself.
My HB Tele has a bit more resistance but my favourite. Teles don't give you anything for free. But this one has a trem, so it's basically perfect. The Tele shape is good looking and very comfy.
I've also got a 335 copy. I've always loved that shape. Very comfortable body but a bit large. I'm mostly a sofa player now.
