>feel me?
i dunno sounds kinda homosex but i suppose it is buttmonth

>>126709431
Strat...and you don't have to be delicate with it like that other thing.

I think I want an "arranger" keyboard. I've always liked them, but never had one.
I would mention this in the synth thread, but they're looked down on by both synth-fags and classical-fags alike. Considered "blue collar". Perfect for guitarists or someone playing at an old folks home.

>>126709431

Whatever I feel like playing at any given time

are vintage hofner guitars any good or are they shit like 60s japanese guitars?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko5iyjQHttQ

>>126709658
Hofner is a German brand. I don't know about the guitars but the basses were good enough for McCartney. I bet it's at least OK. German autism doesn't create garbage.

>>126709672
For the record, Japanese autism doesn't create garbage either. But they didn't have an old tradition of creating Western instruments at that point. Germans had been making some variety of string instrument for a long time.

>>126709517
For the buzzing G string, try keeping your bridge rocked all the way forward as its default position. I realize that’s not going to help your vibrato issue but if the bridge is already as low as it can go, try that.

>>126709658

His videos are very repetitive. I liked the first in the format but the rest are meh

>>126709744
Yeah I’ve just got to keep tweaking the height of the bridge and the angle of the cigar bar. The neck wasn’t shimmed and it was too flat, so I shimmed the neck at half a degree but it was a little too steep so I shimmed it at a quarter degree. With no shim the bridge was completely flush, where it’s at now I have it at around 3-4mm above the plate. It’s just a matter of finding how high I need the bridge where the action is good and then tweaking the angle of the cigar. It’s just one of those things that’s going to be a tedious pain in the ass to get it perfect but I knew that was going to be the case, and then once it’s all set up I shouldn’t have to ever really mess with it if I keep using the same strings whenever I change them. I’m out of town for work rn and I really wish I was playing with the Mustang at home instead

absolute madman dropped another video about silver sky

>>126710018
my butt is fartin

>boomer brand makes a "new" guitar that copies an even more boomer brand
yawn

>>126710031
What'd you do?

>>126710018

The fender and PRS sky were pretty close, the nf3 one just sounded harsh but I detest humbuckers

I’ve been forcing myself to trudge downstairs immediately after waking up these past few saturdays to play and it’s been a good way of getting my day started. I work from home still so during the week I pretty much crawl right from bed to the computer and can’t really get a nice long jam in until after 6 at which point I don’t feel like playing for more than an hour or so. I put fresh strings on my Fiesta Stang yesterday and to my amazement, it has been staying in tune way better than with the regular slinky’s. Usually I have to stretch the shot out of them and wait for them to break in for a week or two and that’s on any guitar really, but these power slinky’s feel good, sound good, and are staying in tune way better than usual.

>>126709335 (OP)
I need a new practice amp.
What's not shit?
I saw some orange 20ws on amazon for aboot 200bucks. I haven't looked at amps in awhile though, last I remember line6 amps used to be big but haven't seen any at GC in awhile.

>>126710539
What do you need it to do? Will you be feeding it pedals? Dirt and/or modulation? Do you need an effects loop?

>>126710539
boss katana

>>126710559
I haven't even bought pedals yet, last time I was playing guitar a line6 with the effects modeling made it fun to play/practice. Not recording anything for what it's worth.

>>126710566
This looks pretty legit and I think my gc has one, I'll go try one out later, thx anon

>>126710772
nta but the katana is one of the best bang for your buck amps out there currently

>>126710539
I have an orange crush 30 and really love it. I would recommend it or if you want something cheaper with a lot of effects, maybe try the Fender Micro plus and run it through a Bluetooth speaker.

>>126710786
Yeah they have more or less replaced the line6 spiders and roland cubes in recent years

>>126710539
Vox Valvetronix

>>126710539
You can probably fight closer to $100 on the used market depending on which orange you're getting. Non reverb, no onboard tuner, etc. Like any amp, that 2" jump from a 10" speaker to 8" is a big jump in "boxy" tone. It's cool if you're right beside the amp like online demos, but the more space you try to fill the worse it gets.

Catalyst, katana, old vox vt, THR, all the same. Perfectly good.

I used to flip line6 pocket pods, because people were too stupid to turn them on. They were fine for their convenience, but not quite good.

just picked up my first own electric, always borrowed my dads old tele way back. now i gotta get practicin

>>126710925
I used to have a pocket pod then it got stolen off my bud who I loaned it to, still seething abt it.

>>126710997
well what'd you get, you little tease

>>126710925
>old vox vt
Is there something wrong with the new ones?
I've got an older one and it's great.

thoughts on the Fender Excelsior?
I don't want it for any reason other than the name is cool and it's Fender

>>126711154
i got a '79 heerby LP from some guy who only sells old nip lawsuits

>gibson tests positive for lead
im not surprised

Swung by a guitar shop on my way back home and they had some Jag Stangs in (marked super cheap cuz they apparently have been sitting and not selling) and the shop let me take a pretty close look at the vibrato unit and take measurements off of it cuz those ones on the Jag Stangs go right back to being in tune no problem so now I’ve got a visual reference for how the vibratos are supposed to look when set up correctly

What's the opinion on Yamaha guitars here? I've been thinking of replacing my shitty Squier Strat with one.

>>126710925
Whelp, I'm sold on the vox after watching the anderton's throwdown.

>>126710539
I love my orange ce35 but if you wanted to go that brand I'd look at their new 15 watt heads.

>>126712159
cr35*

>>126711190
They look cool and were a great concept. They're full of suspect circuits and parts. They should be gutted and rebuilt into respectable fenders, but I wouldn't even trust the transformers on these. The only fender pawn series I like is the Greta. Those are still over prices.

Don't get an Excelsior when you want a supro. Don't get a greta when you want a Benson. Don't get the other one when monoprice is better and cheaper. etc.

>>126711368
>model plane
keep those lead-free hobbies coming

>>126712084
The Pacificas tend to have very narrow nut width and string spacing, possibly the smallest of any electric.
Squier 1.65"
Pacifica 1.61"
The Revstar line is more like Fender nut widths.

Vox is great. I just haven't had a chance to try their newest stuff.

>>126712227
I can (probably) get used to that, but it's not like my mind is dead set on them, or a strat-like in general... I just played a friend's and liked it.

yes, need the neck/middle single coil for cleans and the bridge humbucker for distorted tones

gottem!

>>126712236

how do people get atound the 250k pot limitation?

>>126712725
You could always wire it 500k and use resistors (or dial the tone knob to taste), but really a 250k humbucker isn't that bad. The real shortcoming of an HSS is that you lose the classic position 1 and 2. Now some would say losing 1 isn't bad but losing 2 is what's stopped the HSS from overtaking the traditional Strat if you ask me.

>>126712780
Jokes on you I have coil splitting and a 5-way, nerd

Should I buy that $200 Epiphone Les Paul E1?

Gib metronome.

https://voca.ro/1a8Ph47TZ1hx

>>126712780
My player one has inside coil of the humbucker and middle for position 2, but being someone who never uses positions 2/4 on any Strat it’s never really mattered to me. I’m pretty much a single pick up nigga.

>>126712862
What the fuck it doesn't look half bad.
I still think you'd be better off scoping pawn shops and reverb/ebay for used epis or even a grass roots (better, same ballpark) but if it's just 200 and not a shit-ass single H epi special, why not?

>autistic neighbor kid sees me playing guitar on our shared porch
>because I "like guitar" now everytime I come out back to play he comes out with his uncles guitar and starts hammering on it loudly refusing to try and do any of the basic shit I tried to teach him
I'm not upset he isn't trying to learn more cause hes a kid but its the weird obsessive trait where he thinks we bond because he hits a guitar without even playing music as if its the same thing, other day I kinda told him to stop cause it was like the 4th time in a row he ambushed me and he did but I just really don't want to cross a line and upset the autismo cause his uncle is my landlord

>>126713435
Maybe he is actually perfectly imitating what you're playing

>>126713449
Kek.

>>126713317
I've been thinking about it for a while but none of the guitar shops near me have them and I feel like buying cheap guitars online is a total crapshoot. They can be great or terrible depending on which one they happen to ship you.

>>126713435
They'll never outgrow this.
Some players even get good and refuse to adjust with what bandmates are doing. Most don't get good.

>>126713486
It's easier to tune and maintain. It's cheaper. When you're ready for a trem, get one then.

>>126713703

I play pedal steel but im trying to graduate from noodling to making more deliberate statements and playinh to the chord progression more.. much to work on

Picrel is mine

>>126714108
Know any Molly Hatchet tunes? Jerry Garcia dabbled in the pedal steel. If you haven't, check out Ben Keith's work with Neil Young. He is one of the best.

>>126714108
that's cool as hell bro

>>126709393
Your local Sweetwater representative

>>126714119
He also played a ZB lol and yeah that was some of my favorite music when i first started learning. I had someone tell me i sounded like ben keith after a rock show thingy. Made it feel full circle a bit

>>126714246
This with some dimarzios instead

do high quality trems actually maintain tuning? so much as brush the one on my 00 squier and it's out of tune

BLAM BLAM BLAM!!!

>>126714270
Glad to hear. I like his playing on Albuquerque off of Tonight's the Night.

>>126714423
Care to elaborate, big guy?

>>126712084
I dig Yamaha
Pacificas are great for how cheap they are

>>126712084
The pacifica is a good strat if you don't mind h-s-s. i really want a revstar when i finally go for a p-90 guitar. and my next guitar purchase is going to be a late-70s Yamaha L-10 MIJ acoustic which i have coveted for some time.

>>126714419
Yes. They require setup and fine tuning, but the trems on my Fenders operate as intended where the trems on my Squier does not. Specifically Jags and Jazzmasters in my case

>>126714587
Cheapo guitars should never have trems
Too much work to make it work well for something that's mostly a gimmick

I've found the Player offsets to also be pretty bad. Fine for light use but if it goes down too far it doesn't return to the same spot unless you mess with it a little.

There's your problem right there

>>126714683
Learn the notes on the fretboard, not just patterns.
At least the triads of the chords to start and go from there

>>126714873
The notes on the fretboard are in a pattern.

Got the vibrato like 85% of the way there for going down in pitch, still need to do a little finer filing on the nut cuz it’s got 11s now and was cut for 9s or 10s. I can do flutters fine and it stays in tune for the most part, I can dive a little and it throws the G out a little, but I can’t pull back on the arm and go up in pitch on stay in tune and it doesn’t always reset back in tune when using the vibrato without some help pulling it back to neutral. Taking a file to some edges on the vibrato plate/buying a vintage vibrato unit will fix a lot of the return to zero issues cuz these Nip plates don’t hold a sharp edge for the metal on metal contact and that increases friction which causes it to have problems returning to in tune without help. Was having a hard time getting the action height and break angle right with shimming the neck with two different sizes, but then I said screw it let’s try no shim and what do you know it’s way better without any shim.

It feels great, it sounds great, and I genuinely enjoy playing it; I just want it to be a little more stable tuning wise. I expected it to be a pain and not perfect tuning wise but I still want to do whatever I can to make it as perfect as I can. I’ve got three Strat style vibratos and one Floyd Rose and never use any of the vibratos (I’m a simple hardtail retard 2bh, keep it simple stupid) so if I can’t get this vibrato as perfect as I like I’m honestly considering just blocking the vibrato with some nuts and bolts/buying a hardtail unit that looks like a normal Mustang unit and either eliminating the rocking bridge or just getting a Mastery. I didn’t buy a Mustang for the cool weird vibrato unit, I bought one because I specially wanted a short scale with two lower output pickups that was super light and handy and a Mustang is all of that. I won’t be missing the vibrato if I decide to just ditch it.

Thank you again for coming to my Ted talk blogpost yet again

>>126714908
I appreciate the dedication but this is exactly why I don't play non-hardtail Mustangs myself.

>>126714949
Yeah seriously. I knew it was gonna be a pain. There are a lot of resources online about how to do it and a lot of people telling you how they do it but to do it yourself is different than just reading about doing it. I’ve almost got it where I want it, if I can’t get it as perfect as I can (I’m super autistic about intonation) my backup was already just hardtail it and forget about it. I was going to buy a Player series Mustang cuz those are hardtail but I wanted the traditional pickup sliders and not a three way switch, so my whole mindset with this Mustang from the get go was “if I can get it set up good enough then cool but if not hardtail it” so it isn’t like hardtailing it is a last resort give up thing, it was already in the cards. I’m honestly surprised the vibrato is as “stable” as it is currently

why do people like offsets?

>>126714998
Cuz they’re comfy and cuz they’re perceived as “cool” cuz all the alt dudes played them back when they were the opposite of cool

I just like short scales 2bh, had a Jazzmaster for a number of years and didn’t click with it and never had any other offsets until this year with my Squier Super Sonic and now this Mustang. Before buying this Mustang I spent a lot of time pricing out a Warmoth build for a Gibson scale Strat style body with two lipstick pickups to fill the “short and light two lower output single coils” hole in my heart but nah I got a Mustang instead

>>126715027
I dont think I've ever played one so I was curious. I might buy a new guitar soon, maybe I'll try one

>>126715049
They’re comfy to play and the big three Fenders all sound unique but they all require a little bit of magic to get them perfect. I’m definitely a “tune my Tele once and never touch the tuning again for the next two months of playing” kind of guy rather than a “let me fiddle around with this for eight hours to get it perfect” kind of retard

All you need in the world...
... is a good ol telecaster

>>126714419
You need a good vibrato, a good bridge, and a good nut. If you've got all that working in tandem then you should stay in tune.

>>126714998
I don't feel like I need another Strat and there's sooo many to compare, plus offsets just look and feel great. I'd probably get an HH Tele if the Toronado didn't exist.

>>126714873
So the triads are made up of the root, 3rd and 5th of a chord. How the fuck is someone supposed to know what that means if they don't know the major and minor scales?
I swear the snakeoil half-knowledge around here is far more crippling to peoples progress than the instrument itself.

Heard they made new classic vibes, this is interesting. The SH naming is dumb though.

>>126715143
>SH naming
What?

>>126715120
A lot of people advocate for this scattershot approach of learning random bullshit instead of just learning the infinitely more useful underlying theory behind it. I will never understand why, but it happens in all guitar circles.

look man, I just wanna ape tabs from youtube

>>126715156
I mean that it should be named SH, since it's Single bridge Humbucker neck. But they went with HS in the name.

>>126715143
any other model than that one?

anyone else not give a shit about dents and dings and scratches? i personally don't like the look of fake relics, but i also don't like the look of brand new clean instruments
i'm not gonna bang my guitar against the wall or anything to bang it up but i just don't baby them at all

>>126715251
what exactly counts as "babying", I just play my guitars and put them back on the stands and they simply never get damaged

>>126715193
I did it for years too, it's 100% a refusal to commit to the discipline of music. Eventually you either quit progressing or get serious.
For some people, campfire chords and aimless noodling are enough to entertain them I guess.

>>126715268
ironically most of the "damage" to my guitars comes from grabbing them and putting them back in the stand because i smack them against the other guitars and the stand and my chair and my desk, etc.

>>126715251
some people view them as a tool, others as a collectible. simple as.

i gave this guy an $100 deposit for a guitar to pick up tomorrow and now he's not replying. it could be because it's shabbat and he's a 60 year old jew but regardless i'm going to his house tomorrow and either getting my money back or the guitar.

You guys seein' this?

>>126715244
There was a new hardtail strat in normal and HSS layout, and an HS Duo Sonic with this sweet finish. You can find them under Coming Soon on the website

>>126715143

daaaaamn im gonna grab one st eoy. they have a hardtail strat and the JM looks good too

>>126714890
Yes but at least don’t get lost or playing mindlessly.
Play with intentions.
And if know the patterns well enough to know the chord tones then you’ve tricked yourself into learning theory.

>>126715120
You’ve made up a strawman.
He literally said that they are playing both major and minor.
If you want to know the triads then yes learn the name of the notes on the fretboard so you don’t get lost in patterns.
It’s really not that complicated.
Like you said triads are just the root/3rd/ and 5th.
Find all the triads. It’s simple.

>>126715120
…he does? or is learning them.
So yes triads would be the next step

I'm so happy I got a guitar, it's comfy even to just play random notes in D major to a vtuber stream background music.

>>126715379
So you're suggesting learning the note positions but you don't think understanding how the intervals are derived is important?
"It's the root, third and 5th"
"What do those numbers mean?"
"Don't worry about it, scales r dumb"
lol great teaching

I’m thinking about the Fender Toronado. How do you guys feel about them?

>>126715459
nta and I don't disagree but this is literally every math/science teacher lol

Got a Firebird copy for cheap. Thinking of putting single coils and a bridge piezo in. It's got a bigsby too.

I want a pink HSS strat very badly

>>126715480
That would be cool. Could set it up so the piezo goes to a jazz chorus and the single coils go to a distorted tube amp like a blues jr. or something. I like the idea of pickups having dedicated outputs.

>>126715072
If they made a light one with a belly bevel I'd get one in a heart beat. Rn looking at buying and sanding down the back of a squier classic vibe or throwing together a partscaster

>Put on some .10s to try to up tension the neck and fix fret buzz

>Saddle/neck adjustments don't help
>Tell myself I'll suffer until a string breaks and re-nut the neck before re-stringing
>Realize I had put on some stupidly well-made daddario 10s that refuse to corrode or break

I'm in this for the long haul aren't I.

>>126714998
I prefer them for the combo of scale options, having a rhythm circuit, and to get sounds you just cannot get out of a Strat or Tele. For Mustangs is the scale and extremely fast playing neck, for Jags and JMs it’s the rhythm circuit and trem. If anything, the hipster stigma is a cross that comes with them that I’m willing to bare and try redeem back from the reddit crowd. Essentially it’s the specs and functionality.

>>126715551
>Put on some .10s to try to up tension the neck and fix fret buzz
Was loosening truss rod also an option? You can probably still do that.

>>126715564
It was straight when I started, I tried to up the saddles and forward bow, then lower saddles to the bottom and a bit of backbow and that didn't help too much (and introduced ski-jumping around the 10th fret).
Just need a little bit of height, probably new frets since this guitar is old but it's my old cheap jamming guitar and I can't be fucked to invest 200$ into equipment for fretting just yet.

>>126715473
I have a Squire paranormal Toronado and I like it quite a bit, it’s kinda like a Les Paul and and fender offset fucked and had a baby. I would image the Fenders are even better.

Whoa

I'm seeing this my guys. Whoa!

>>126715582
90% of what you described can be fixed by tapping your frets down with a soft mallet

>2 (two) minutes apart
Fuckin hell

Maybe practice the guitar I assume you own. Even if you just did chromatic climbs mindlessly while watching things you would improve alot.

>>126715652
Who exactly are you talking to? You ill freak. You want a gig go practice. Instead of ruining the night for everybody in here. The most important guitar chat log in North America who are you.

>>126715590
That’s nice. I’m jealous. I think we should both get a Fender Toronado.

>>126715473
I think they're great, no nonsense guitars. Unique scale length among fenders too.

>>126715677
Calm down bro jeez. You cool?

>>126715696
And if I don't?

>>126715551
turn the fucking truss rod you retard and raise the action

>>126715632
I went and tried that just now and no luck, I didn't see cracks or obvious signs of the fretboard drying out beforehand, I think the cheap plastic nut has just grooved down in the slots after a decade.

>>126715706
Doesn't matter to me. I just know you have been barking all night. You gonna bite? I shred. I know every mode. I can play in 5 different time signatures. You do know that, right?

>>126709335 (OP)

classic vibe bros we eatin' good. already eyeing that shell pink strat (no homo)

I should have made sure you had steel frets before suggesting it too, cheap frets are soft.
But a lot of times flex and environmental factors can cause the frets to get pushed out of their slots, and if you've already adjusted the relief its worth a shot.
Good luck.

>>126715732
Lay off him. He's with me.

>>126715677

log off nigga

>>126715740
IS THAT WHY MY FRETS ARE FLAT NOW YOU FUCKING SHIT?>

>>126715740
yeah truss/saddles was the first thing I tried.
I just shimmed all of my nut slots with some card stock and lowered the saddles a bit and it's fine for now, it just pissed me off.
I think another issue is that this shipped with jumbo frets but epiphone probably used a regular height nut for their normie bitch lp copies using the older low profile wire frets.

>>126715739
I really wish Fender would do a production run of paisley finishes either through Classic Vibe or Vintera.

>>126715551
fret buzz is fine as long as it doesn't come thru the amp or deadens your notes.
any hint of fret buzz = the antichrist is some turbo boomer retard lore

MIM bros were getting cooked

>>126715739
Ohhh yeah. I'm into the Tahiti Coral JM. Already thinking about what mods I might do.

>>126715958
>.t metalfaggot
That's the thing though. You're not entirely wrong but buzz comes through clean a lot easier than it does gain. And for a lot of people it's a tactile feedback thing.

>>126715976
if you think there isn't any clean playing in metal, you must live under a rock.
I will restate: fret buzz is fine as long as it doesn't come through the amp. (unless acoustoid gooter ofc)

>>126715972

yep, if i didnt already have a JM id be all over that

>>126716318
Making me want to get an actual Mustang instead of the rinky-dink Squier Sonic I picked up just to sate my curiosity. I suppose the next time I get a guitar I'll look for an old MIJ model.

>>126716366
There are a lot of options for Japanese ones which is cool. Early production 1965, middle production 1969, middle production 1973, other more generic ones, some signature ones (Char one is cool but I wish it had slider selectors), you can really narrow it down to some fairly specific specs with Japanese Mustangs and only be set back like $1k-$1.5k

Japanese made goods are no better than China.
You really fell for the propaganda lmao

>>126715511
it's hardtail, too.

>>126716431
Nah I feel for the closest to vintage 1965 specs without paying pre CBS Fender prices

>>126716431
try harder

>>126716471
Yeah if you aren't getting the real deal just stick with the Squier. Its gonna be the exact same.

>mij :^O

apparently they think the japs fart fairy dust onto the guitars

>>126716508
Better than farting cum dust tho amirite

>bro buy this 60 year old instrument thats been neglected for longer than you've been alive

>>126716592
The tone is in the nationality.

I haven't practiced slap bass for a while my index finger gets all sore from popping, guess it's for tomorrow

>>126716508
Japanese worker conditions are much better. These are highly skilled craftsman, not sweatshop chinos.
Of course this is a general rule, plenty of crap is churned out in Japan and its product and year specific. Just like MIA.

>>126716552

too soon

>>126716630

whole lot of weeb copium

I have about $1500 to spend on a used acoustic. Is any Martin I get for that price going to laminated cardboard?
What do my acousichads think I should be looking for at that price? Am leaning towards Dreadnaught because I'm a very large dude but will listen to reason.

>>126716646
if you're patient you might find a D-18 for close to that

>>126714998
Same reason they like any other guitar

>>126716646
Used American 15 or 17 series.

>>126716646
You could get a used Taylor 710 from the 90's before they fucked around with the construction.

idk what I was thinkin buying this GAY ass NIP guitar smdh my grandpa shot down those GAY ass NIPs over the Pacific and then nearly disowned my mom when she bought a GAY ass NIP Toyota in the 1980s and here I am buying a GAY ass NIP guitar sm damn head

Cool. Post a vocaroo of you playing any of them.

Idk there's a couple producers that swear by them and record with them all the time. I don't personally like them.

its about what you'd imagine no need, imagine a less talented Kingfish

Yeah, I've got an acoustic with a piezo pickup that I'd sooner use, but I was always curious about the wacky hybrid Fender cooked up.

>>126715072
>that bridge
Enjoy your impossible intonation.
I was so set on getting this baritone Tele. I just love the Tele shape, the double bound body. My plan was putting in a single-coil sized humbucker in the bridge, so I can play all the chugging, high gain rock and metal riffs with it. But then I noticed the bridge, yikes.

>>126717937
Nobody cares you're 2 cents off, and there's tons of replacement bridges with one saddle per string
>My plan was putting in a single-coil sized humbucker in the bridge
Actually nevermind, stay away, get something else

Bedtime soon after another night of playing guitar and following youtube theory videos.
I saw Jared James Nichols play and am now obsessed with electric fingerstyle. A couple of hours of practice and I sound pretty damned good, if not slow. Also practicing my 7th diminished shape and practicing relative key scales.
What are you working on, /gg/uys?

working on? I haven't played guitar since last month

>>126718831
Gotta find something to motivate you fren. Not even practice, just to enjoy the instrument again.
I've been through those phases. A lot. It's hard.

Fighting through depression enough to pick up the instrument every day is far harder than actually learning the damned thing.

>>126718785
Scales. Always scales.

>>126718905
Don't get lost in all 5 positions of every scale. Pick two or three that speak in your voice and master them.

Fucking adrenaline man 4 hours of practice and I can't put it down. Just sitting in bed watching south park and finding fingerpicking patterns for my favorite songs I already know. Throwing in some licks here and there. Simple shit but its fun.
Fuck man I need sleep my gf is going to be pissed lol

>>126718918
I'm just drilling all 12 possible fingerings for the scales in one area of the fretboard.

>>126716552
Jej

why do gen z prefer LTD and PRS over Gibson LP?

>>126719172
According to whom? LTD was popular among the metal core scene around 2010 and PRS is boomer core as fuck, neither is zoomer

>>126719172
Because Joe Bonamassa plays the Les Paul.

>>126715678
There are like 5 on reverb right now. Tempting but that would make guitar number 9 for 2025… I’m legitimately running out of room and raping my savings lol.

>his Leslie's haven't been converted to 3 phase

>>126719836
why don't they just use a wider piece of wood to get rid of that line down the middle? makes so many nice guitars look like shit

tfw been up since 6am just playin my Mustang and am only stopping now at 8:40 so I can make some eggs
This thing sounds great with overdrive, clean it’s a little anemic cuz the pickups are low output but that lets you fill it in and color it with effects and man does it sound great with some OD, both slight OD to edge of breakup and full on overdrive. The bridge pickup is much more like a Tele bridge pickup in sound than any of my Strat bridge pickups which really surprised me, I’ve owned four Strats over the years and this bridge beats them all with dirt and it’s just the basic old factory bridge pickup not a hot rail or anything

>>126720044

that costs more and that sort of treatment is reserved for super expensive guitars. some makers get around that by using veneers

>>126720053
Take it out and put it in a better guitar.

>>126720044
It's to mimic the look of violins

I wish they would make more of these, and in more colors.

>>126713018

You know what the difference is? You might actually use the one on the right in public someday.

>>126717019
Which one am I if I play an Ibanez?

>>126720355
I use the one on the right in public on state land every other weekend. Feels good living in a free state in a free country.

>>126717563
I'm still working through the course and the mode sheets piss me off because he gave me 12 sheets with twelve identical fingering patterns, but only different root notes and flat notations. Still deciding if it's genius or not.

fwiw my first adult guitar purchase was an edwards LP

>>126709335 (OP)
Alright lads, looking to go buy an amp today.
Down to these:
Vox vt40x
Vox vt20x
Boss katana 20
Boss katana mini

For all intents and purposes the mini would probably do it but the vox seems to have the best sound for cheapo modeling amps from what I read- and a 10" speaker on the 40 allegedly sounds better and can do more than the 8" on the vt20

>>126720712
You're missing the point of the joke.

>>126720917
Fuck all of those, Marshall DSL

Cheap and fucking sick

>>126721012
the marshall was the first amp to lose (to the vox vt40x) on the anderton's amp shoot out you mong

>>126720004
I love these things like you wouldn't believe. No longer tethered to my computer desk when I want to practice with headphones.

>>126720917
vt40x won the shootout. don't assume the vt20x would do the same.

>>126721225
probably zero, but then again for like $200 you can't have everything

>>126721134
The 15 is only $120 more. The 5 is very basic and the 15 can do a lot of different tones by itself.

>needing to buy a headphone/bedroom amp

>>126721347
LM386 is shit dude. It's too noisy.
I made my headphone amp out of an NE5532 into two 1k:8ohm transformers. 1k presents the minimum load for the chip and then the 8 ohm taps drive the headphones. There's no audible noise at all.

I'm new to guitar, what strings should I use for e standard and drop b both, or is it impossible? (I have a les paul)

looking glass is out of stock, and no restock in sight

Will playing a chinesium resonator in dadgad help my insanity or make it worse? I'm not a guitar guy, but I'm unemployed again and losing my mind.

>>126721522
Anon, please tell me you are not going to be constantly tuning and retuning your Guitar between E Standard and Drop B...

>>126721648
Not constantly. But I want to reach both whenever I want to.

>>126721695
then you'll need two guitars bub

>>126721695
You're gonna need two Guitars. Trying to do it with one Guitar will either result in your strings being floppy and out of tune when you go down to Drop B or your strings being so firm they dig into your fingers when you tune to E Standard with the risk of the strings snapping when you tune up from Drop B.

I never use a cigar box amp after hooking it up. I had better luck flowing a Mastotron and superfuzz.
