Doesn’t really matter if you have a high end metal or not, you can still perform tricks without a metal. But metals are nice to have :P. ---

Metals are nice, but some plastics are even awesomer in my opinion. I have 2 SFHGs and a newly aquired SFHG Xtra, all of which are plastics, and the Xtra I already love wayyy more than my metals. Oh and besides needing to cut your strings, metal man, good job. It’ll look great with shorter strings and more control.
