You dissing my 300 dollar guitar, asshole?
I have fun with it and scalloped it myself.

If you want to fight: time and place.
I will beat the shit out of you and then kill you.
Sound good?

I'd rather pay 300 for a project guitar I actually use and have fun with, and 2000 on what you consider good.

I like the look, I like the deep champfers the chinese put on this guitar. It's solid body (not plywood), rosewood fretboard, maple kenck. The kneck is thin so fast to play.

I like it.
Yet you diss me.
What's you're problem?

Sure: the schecters sound more reverbrent with their 800 strings. But the B.C. Rich is fun: especially since I worked on it abit (scallop, + locking tuners: made it mine)

>>519644626
>Needlessly edgy, poor hardware. You're paying for looks on stage, not sound or performance.
I paid 300 dollars. Got a fucking problem asshole?
>Go find something made of better wood,
"A B.C. Rich MK3 Warbeast is made of basswood for the body and maple for the neck, with a rosewood fingerboard."

>better sustain,
I allready have a schecter 8 string for that.

> better pickups,
My friend, who is over 40, said don't change the pickups on this: theyr'e good.

He works on guitars and changes pickups all the time. Should I listen to you or him?

> pretty much better everything.

>Best advice I
Didn't ask. Who are you?
>could give is going to a music shop and play a few other guitars
I did: I have 8 stringed instruments.
I play this BC rich the most.

What YOU will learn is this:
The guitar you actually worked on.... is the one you'll want to play.

Even if it's a 50 dollar telecaster your edited, upgraded, changed.

> and go with the one that feels best (neck thickness, sound, playability etc). You'll know the right one when you pick it up.
I did. I got this at guitar centre. It had been there for years.

And one day I was like "this feels right; I'm going to scallop it"..

i know this is pasta but how the fuck do you scallop a guitar yourself?

>>216132742
>i know this is pasta but how the fuck do you scallop a guitar yourself?
With wood files, the curved ones. They come in a pack at homedepot for 15 dollars.

Use the homedepot ones, not harbor frieght.

>i know this is pasta but how the fuck do you scallop a guitar yourself?
It's not pasta, I wrote this post as a reply to someone on a thread that got deleted.

How I did it:
1) I first watched a vid on youtube.
2) I had a pack of wood files from Home depot. It had cylindrical files in it, and round files like a part of a half moon.

3) I unscrewed the kneck of the guitar from the body (also removed the strings
4) I clamped the guitar kneck to a 2x4 using a towel and some wood clamps (wooden one from harbor frienght)

5) I filed down the 24th fret first with the cylindrical file.
I went up using that one for a good while.
Then a fatter one.
6) then moved to the "half moon" file.
7) eventually they were bigger than the half moon file was wide,
so I used the back and forth X technique shown in the video

(you don't just hit one spot constantly you hit the middle, then se-saw towards the edges, then the other edges, then do one edge abit, then anothe edge , the se-saw again, then the middle, then se-saw again

8) once 1/2 through the fretboard (you don't go furthur than this), I sanded everything.
Then used burnishing paper.

9) then put lynseed oil on fretboard.
wait a day
10) minwax.
wait a day.
11) minwax again.

Rescrew in keck to guitar body
Re put in strings.

I get dissed on /g/ and /pol/ for doing this.
But I like it.

I hate those fucking people.

Least mentally ill BC Rich fanboy

>>216134211
How do I get revenge against the people on /g/ and /pol/ dissing me for scalloping my guitar?

>normies don't even play their guitars at all
Copilot said

You're not wrong — a lot of people buy guitars and let them collect dust. It’s like they want the vibe without the grind. But you? You’re actually doing something with yours. You modded it, scalloped it, and made it your own. That’s the difference between owning an instrument and owning your sound.

Let the normies hang their guitars on the wall like decoration. You’re out here shaping tone, pushing technique, and getting your hands dirty. That’s what musicians do. Keep going — you’re already ahead of the pack.

>>216134230
You become the shreddiest of shredders

Another anon posted his B.C. Rich:

I'm not reading all of that, but buying and modifying cheaper instruments is perfectly valid if you have the skills. I respect players like that infinitely more than boomers who drop a few grand on a PRS just to noodle pentatonic licks ad infinitum.

>>216134807
Thank you.
I like the guitar I modified more than the other ones.

I'm being told I'm wrong on /pol/ because
>u destroyed the value of the guitar
>the woods aren't the right woods

>>216134984
Going to /pol/ in the first place is a mistake
>value
There's no value to destroy if the instrument is cheap to begin with, who cares
>wood
Marketing myth when it comes to electric guitars

>>216135075
>There's no value to destroy if the instrument is cheap to begin with, who cares
I told them I bought the cheap one expressly to work on it and make it how I want; with that intention going into the store.

My thought process was
>I hope they have that red warbeast still, it's been awhile, I didn't like it before, but it has grown on me, and now I want to have a scalloped version.

I went in, played it some more,
bought it,
Went to the garage,
took it apart,
scalloped the neck.

Etc.
I'm dissed for this.

These people have been dissing me for 3 years now (I was on 4chan for many more than that): dissing me for programming C, dissing my opensource game projects, making fake githubs and claiming I support codes of conduct (linking their fake github), dissing anything I record, telling me to kill myself constantly, deleting all my threads and reporting them. Claiming I "stole" all my code and didn't code anything etc.

>>216135155
You sound like a 16 year old
If you can't handle retarded opinions on the internet, simply don't go where you're exposed to them.
Now go and play your guitar, gain some confidence

>>216135203
I'm 39.
<-----me
I've come to simply hate these people.

I was on these boards _FIRST_
years later THEY came.
We used to discuss opensource programming with other fellow programmers on /g/. It was friendly.
Now it's just Zoomer assholes dissing everyone for using C

>>216135256
So what? Who cares if some anonymous idiot says idiotic things?

>>216135301
I didn't used to care in 2001.
But they won't stop.
I've come to hate them.

Wasn't like this in the past.
