just an update.. its been a week and a day and i just checked my tuner and they were each 20 cents off tune. thats not even noticable. and also every day since i got it ive been soing alot of slash and jimmy page solos, so thats alot of bends. you'd expect it to be a different note by now considering how much ive been bending. and oh about the recordings.. i lost my mic and have a cheap sound card that cant plug a guitar into. so until i get my mic back, i cant record..
