I am angry

Today, some silly stuff happened (one of my friends cancelled a hangout at his house), and a huge arguement started, usually most of these arguements end off safely and happily, but today one of my friends keeps insulting me and it escalated until someone left and rejoined to fix the situation, the friend (who attacked me) remembered some stuff that happened back then, I joked one time anout his dad and everyone laughed, HIM INCLUDED HE HAD NO DISCOMFORT IN HIS FACE AND HE LAUGHED TWICE!!!
So he brought it up like “oh but you said this” and then I said something like “no correlation whatsoever to the arguement” cause we were talking about his flaws (egotistical, victim mentality that I really don’t wanna talk about but most of my friends talk about it, he’s also huge and strong), so he brought uo a very traumatic memory where my mother fainted, I vented to the group about it and now he uses it as a weapon (incident happened 2-1 year(s) ago, family problems lot of screaming and stuff but thankfully everything is good now), it was like “Hey remember when your mom fainted? That was pretty F’ing funny.”
I was so angry I called him a SOB (son of a y’know), and he acts like the victim threatening to end my life (he won’t, even if he does I will fight to the death so that I can be considered a martyr, I don’t wanna make this a religion thingy), he will probably be tried as an adult if he even does, my friends are trying to fix it and thsi has been going on for 3 hours, most of them say he insulted my mom and I believe that too, considering the delivery, the intention, and the weaponizing of my trauma, one of my friends doesnt believe it’s an insult and says his was more traumatic (it wasn’t, he’s huge and he just had a guitar broken on his back, at that time, he said he felt no pain and that it was light), and said that my mom fainting was “just a faint”, I want reassurance and I want Justice from god, I also wanna know if it is indeed considered an insult, 9/10 friends consider it an insult, I just wanna vent and be reassured cause it’s 11:31AM and none of my friends can call me, so I resort to Allah and random people online and my friends who can’t call me

Is it possible to order a guitar from sweetwater? And if so, will it come unharmed?

I live in kuwait and I am thinking of buying a guitar from sweet water, I don’t know if they deliver here, website doesnt say ‘we do not ship there or there’ and the website is confusing honestly, I am gonna think of how the hell do I fill the address lines later, and I’ll focus on the question that I am asking myself ‘do they ship to a random country in the gulf?’ And if so, will it come in 25 seperate pieces and a headstock that looks like a broken plate?

So, my whammy bar socket just fell off. what the hell do I do.

Today I tried attaching my whammy bar (edge zero II floating tremolo), and when I tried tightening it was extremely hard to tighten, and when I tried to loosen it I had to do multiple 360’s wirh the whammy bar, and before doing those 360’s I noticed the socket was loose, it was moving, and when I finally got the whammy bar out, I touched the socket a little before it fell out. I was like ‘What???’
I tried re-assembling the socket and I don’t know if it’s right, I don’t know where the silver ring thingy goes so I just put it inside I think right where the nut is supposed to go.
Just a few questions real quick:

  1. Should I get angry at the store who sold me the guitar? There are a few problems but they aren’t major, Besides, this is my FIRST month of owning this guitar and it’s amazing, but they sold me a B-grade guitar for the price of a Brand new one (RG450QMB ibanez guitar)
  2. Is it okay to play it temporarily? While there is a socket sized hole In my bridge for a whammy bar that I cant even use until I go to the store for them to fix it
  3. do I demand for a full inspection? cause genuinely I don’t wanna go back the workers are nice and all but I mean like..cmon

is it necessary to block the sustain block before doing anything on a Floyd

I am genuinely confused as to what to do, do I have to block the sustain block before doing anything? cause I want to reset my fine tuners real quick and I don’t want to mess with the sustain block.

do Ibanez locking nuts have a specific place?

I just tuned my guitar and placed the nuts, do they have a specific place or way they should be placed? Or is it a ‘if it fits, it fits’ method?
