Just wanted to give a huge shoutout to hils. I placed an order yesterday for an hn3 and had a few questions, so I gave them a call. They didn’t answer at first, but I left a voicemail and got a call back within like 30 minutes.

The guy I spoke with was seriously awesome, super friendly, patient, and took the time to answer everything I wanted to know without rushing me off the phone. You can tell they actually care about their customers and the guitars they’re building.

I’m going out of town this weekend, and he even made sure my order would arrive before Friday so I wouldn’t miss it. That kind of customer service is getting rare these days.

Overall, genuinely a 10/10 experience so far. Between the communication, the kindness, and going the extra mile to help me out, I’d absolutely recommend hils to anyone looking into a headless guitar.

Can’t wait for the HN3 to show up.

Has anyone else noticed a big HRV drop / high Garmin stress on Buspirone?

I was on luvox before, and my Garmin stress levels were super low almost all day. Since switching to buspirone, my Garmin is showing high stress constantly and my HRV seems lower, even though my resting heart rate and blood pressure are normal.

What’s weird is I actually feel more energized and motivated on Buspirone. I can focus better, have more appetite, and don’t necessarily feel stressed mentally, but my watch acts like I’m fighting for my life all day.

I know Garmin stress is based on HRV, but now I’m wondering if Buspirone changes autonomic nervous system activity or something. Did anyone else have this happen? Did it level out over time?

Trying not to spiral over the numbers, but seeing “high stress” all day is definitely messing with my head.

Been looking at getting a headless guitar to keep at work for practice. Budget is under $500 used, and I’m still pretty new to the whole headless world.

So far I’ve seen:

EART headless models around the $200 range (not the Pro version)

HILS NEXT models, which I’m honestly really digging because of the body shape and overall look

This would mainly be a “leave at work” guitar, but I’d probably end up modding it later if I really like it. I mostly play metal, so good playability and tuning stability matter more to me than having super premium stock pickups.

For people who own headless guitars:

How big of a difference is there between the cheaper EART models and something like a HILS?

Are there other used headless guitars under $500 I should be searching for?

Anything specific to avoid with cheaper headless hardware/bridges?

I just randomly stumbled into the headless rabbit hole recently and now I kinda want one lol.

I’ve been on 10mg Buspar twice a day for about 2 weeks now, and honestly the difference has been pretty wild so far. I suddenly have a crazy amount of energy, my appetite actually came back, and I can finally sit down and focus on things again like playing guitar instead of constantly feeling mentally scattered.

The weird part is the dreams. They’re insanely vivid and bizarre every single night. Not exactly nightmares, just really intense and realistic.

Before this I had to stop Luvox for OCD because it completely killed my appetite and had me nauseous literally all day for over a month.

Has anyone else had Buspar give them this much energy or vivid dreams? Did the dreams calm down over time?

Just ordered a Focusrite Scarlett Solo Gen 2 and I’m finally getting into amp sims/plugins for home playing.

I mostly play stuff like Lamb of God, Behemoth, Gojira, Belphegor, etc. Trying to decide between STL Tones and Neural DSP. For people who’ve used both, which do you think is better for those kinds of tones?

I’ve heard good things about Neural DSP Gojira and Nameless for Lamb of God-style stuff, but STL seems to have a ton of metal-focused presets too. Curious which feels/sounds better, especially for someone newer to plugins.

Also open to specific plugin recommendations/presets if you’ve got them.

Im getting pretty burned out on inaccurate tabs on Songsterr and Ultimate Guitar, especially for more extreme metal stuff. At this point I’d rather put the money I spend on Songsterr toward supporting someone who actually makes accurate tabs/transcriptions.

I’m mostly looking for Lamb of God, Behemoth, Belphegor, and similar bands. Guitar Pro files would be a huge plus.

Does anybody know of any good tabbers, Patreon pages, YouTube channels, or sites that focus on this kind of music? I’d really appreciate any recommendations.

**im a beginner and learning songs by ear isn't possible at this stage

Wanting to get a new guitar in the near future. I have an ltd m1000 deluxe with fr at the house and a js22 I keep at work. Im interested in a schecter sunset extreme, cr6, or a reaper. Ive read really bad qc reviews on the sunset, so im hesitant of that.

Im currently learning resurrection man, but getting burnt out on practicing this over and over. Any other songs you'd recommend I could learn in the same tuning thats relatively easy?
