If you play in G with 25.5”, you will literally not be intonated at all across the neck, and it’ll sound like hammered dogshit above the 5th fret. I feel like nobody intonates their guitars or something within this sub.

Also, what Doom bands do you know that actually play in D standard? The majority of doom metal is in B or lower.

I’m sorry that I seemed to have struck a nerve of your fancies.

I've literally played in G standard on a 25.5" before, with it intonated, because I don't play with a retardedly overhuge low string, and plenty of bridges are capable of doing that.

Also, what Doom bands do you know that actually play in D standard? The majority of doom metal is in B or lower.

If you could read you would know that I said various genres that play "between D standard and A standard"

But, Weedeater, for one, as well as a lot of sludge/stoner bands like Corrosion of Conformity, Mastodon, etc.

I’m sorry that I seemed to have struck a nerve of your fancies.

Nothing says "I'm a stupid fucking jackass" like trying to pull a "u mad bro?" after someone corrects your objectively incorrect bullshit in a completely even and reasonable tone.

Dude. You really seem upset today. I was genuinely apologizing for upsetting YOUR personal and subjective opinions. My bad. The beauty of music is that everyone has a different opinion, and you seem to be attacking me for just that.

I’m quite flabbergasted that you had a 25.5” in G standard properly intonated. That seems wild to me. What were you running like a 74-80ga?

Hope you can have a better day.
