metal picks? are you serious? whats that sound like? i’ve tried it on mine but it was pretty icky. anyhoo, i can really only suggest that u take the floyd rose out. as for the pickups dropping out often, thats pretty odd. u might wanna curb ur metal picked ways juuuuuust a little if u wanna save the instrument.

i’m really no pro on tech stuff yet, but my ears pricked up when i saw the metal pick stuff! hehehe

can anyone else help?
