best cheap semi-hollow?

>>126991040
nta but on my old tele I could see the wood shifting under the paint (solid color), like very small lines that you have to put under a light to see, it was a 3 pieces body
my new one doesn't have anything like that yet

first for quality tone

>>126990962 (OP)
I'm so glad people largely didn't fall for these. And it's got nothing to do with country of origin - they just aren't good enough guitars for the money.

How many more offsets do I need before I start needing to wear thigh high tights and put on a fake woman’s voice and cut my pecker off? I need to stay short of that number, I don’t want to fall into the modern homosexual offset crowd (do NOT reply to me telling me I’m already there!!!!!)

Play a real guitar meant for real music not your sissy thin necked power chord toy

>>126991120
On most guitar reviews on YouTube of solid color guitars they flip the body over and count the planks.

>>126991261

>>126991269
are you concerned that other guitarists will have watched these videos and will make un of you for the number of planks used?

>>126991248
It's not about how many it's about why. You made it this far so you're probably just the het for life type.

>>126991261
i can't hold the guitar like this, it keeps falling forward. HALP

CV starcaster, it's close to 250 on reverb, with some patience or haggling

>>126991115
>cheap semi-hollow
What is even the point? It's a dead end type that's only good for its association with early electric guitar use in jazz, you are supposed to get not just expensive, but straight up 335, and if you can't, strat.

>>126991348
Paul’s head looks like balls lol

>>126991375

The same as buying any guitar, the looks

Hi I'm RiciR BeataeB and today I'm counting down the ONLY TEN surviving Gibson headstocks.

First up we have........

>>126991248
That looks like a comfortable woven cover. It won't be long now. You can save yourself by living in squalor or self-medicating, not HRT.

girls, if i cut my pecker off, will i retain my tone?

>>126991388
when u nut but she still suckin

>>126991413
no sis :( tone is stored in the balls

>>126991248
>how many dicks do I need to suck before im gay?
the correct answer is 2 because you went back for more.

>>126991115
I got one from this range when they were fairly new, picrel.
They're well put together and i don't have a problem taking it out to play live cause it owes me very little.
Take of the cheap pickguard though, looks better without it

>>126991384

>intact black cherry
do you like white bass players, babe

>>126991515
If they’re female yes (Kim Deal is my celebrity crush)

>>126991544
BIOLOGICALLY female gotta specify that

>>126991544
>>126991553
dang

>>126991454

if you marry a bassist you forfeit any right to complain when your kids take up the bass.

>>126991396
otherwise, if you want to keep going down this route, this will help you retain your tone

>>126991608
>ver 8
What happened to 1-7??

>>126991454

You lived long enough to see fender become a shitty indonesian guitar maker while ibanez is now the godtier strat and the low budget strat

Feels Amazing Man.

Not like you people will ever know what a good guitar is since all you do is shitty chords and "caveman chugs". 20 years dude don't even sweat it, you have like 20 more before you die.

All japanese guitars are better than gibson and fender. Unironically.

well yeah, americans white gajins take no pride in their work

no but i often jerk off in the bathroom before setting up a guitar, and i dont wash my hands so technically, yeah

>>126992039

That's it, i am never going to GC again.

>>126992016
i only own one electric guitar and I play it every day
>>126992025
I do not personally rub my smegma on the floor guitars. however, like all guitar centers, we have our share of homeless drug addicts that will come in and go straight for the expensive guitars to play with their hands covered in dirt

So the Silver Sky is just a Strat but worse?

man i could never work at guitar center
i would buy so many guitars

>>126992093
yeah the discount on most stuff is cost +10% which is usually like a flat 30-40% off depending on the margin of the brand. a couple of my coworkers especially are a little addicted to continually buying stuff for cheap, playing it for a month, and returning it to buy something else. hard to understand how people can throw their paychecks away but I guess the rush is that good for them

put his name on epi's so with a bit of projecting you could get there.

I have an electro harmonix ram's head big muff, what else to get for the dirtiest, fuzziest earthsattering most cosmic stonerdoomersound out there?

>>126992513
telecaster and an AC30

>>126992016
I felt bad for my Yamaha pre-Pacifica starter guitar. I neglected it for 12 years and broke its neck either by tightening its truss rod too much or by throwing it in overstuffed closets

>>126992513
push it with a driver to tighten it up a little bit if you want to get super modern doomy
but if you want to maintain the stoner vibe, get a digital delay, a multifunction reverb, an octave fuzz and some sort of modulation. univibe is a fun option that doesn't get utilized as often as it used to, but it's suited to what you're looking for.

>>126992016
>>126992543
Kek. Not him but I was gifted and Ashton by a m8 (Australian strat made in china). That things been rusting away in the closet for 10+ years. Last time I pulled it out it has rust and the timer on the fretboard was literally peeling away from the neck.

It also plays like ass and the action is 8miles high

Those ERGs that they put in starter packs?

>>126992383
It's a super strat with floyd rose, essentially. Therefore it's good.

>>126992383
I don't really like the ibanez headstock or the pointy horns.
I'd rather a charvel or schecter (I have a schecter, but it's just midrange)

anyone ever watch phil mcknight or listen to his podcasts?
i enjoy his content from the perspective of someone that owned a music store for a long time and has industry experience from the seller's point of view
but he takes himself way too seriously as a "professional youtuber" and he's too removed from the average buyer of gear now since everything he gets he gets for free

>he thinks playing along to a drum track is the same thing as practicing with a metronome

>>126993099
what does your tool list look like

>>126993122
i already have a string winder and wire cutters

>>126992896
Handsome. Sometimes I forget Fender makes guitars with 22 frets

>>126993167
personally i would get the music nomad string action gauge since it doubles as a fret rocker. you can substitute all for of those lubricants a pencil (nut graphite) and a beeswax (waxing screws, add 4:1 baby oil to beeswax for board conditioner). buying a single file could open you up to leveling, crowning, and smoothing frets. but just my opinion. do your thing

https://youtu.be/cNHcf1sofho?t=877

Even PRS SE shits all over stratocasters now LMAO

>>126993089
Depends. In some ways it's more helpful. If you can gradually increase the tempo of a drum track then it accomplishes the same as a metronome, but learning rhythm is more than just timing, you need to know how to split the beat, play behind the beat, and play off the beat. all are easier to learn with a drum track than a simple metronome.
and then you need to throw both away and play with a real drummer to learn what a pocket feels like.

>>126993231
i'd rather not get into filing yet, and i heard the pencil graphite has clay which can be abrasive. the vaseline i think would just be good to have anyway, i already have a few different greases. i like that the 3-in-1 is anti-corrosive. perhaps i'll get the music nomad, that's who makes my string winder

>>126993089

Look I think Blownamassive is a fag too, but he's not being a hypocrite here. He's saying a good player will sound good on anything, but his preference is for rare and expensive gear. Like you can say a Miata is a fun car for most people while owning a McClaren.

>3 in 1
Don't standard 3 in 1, get the stuff labeled for electric motors. It doesnt have additives or detergents in it. 3 in 1 doesn't play well with brass or copper. The electric motor 3 in 1 is just 20wt machine oil/ISO VG 68 which is what you want.

>>126993489
wtf do you need to oil on a guitar

>>126993489

>>126993509
tuning machines have a little hole in them specifically for oil
some bridges
sometimes nut slots need lubrication

>>126993553
would you look at that it was discounted so it only cost $10 more than the dunlop i'm winning at everything all the time

>>126992820
https://youtu.be/KMbZKEJ5JdU?si=opq7V0iRf5dtBerw
Makes your guitar sound like the sounds from tropical fuck storm. I have no idea how they naturally get their sound so this is as close as I'll get

>>126993554
>tuning machines have a little hole in them specifically for oil
w-what

>>126993554
oil migrates and evaporates. you would be better off with wax or grease

>>126993509
Its just general advice, adding a thin layer to hardware after disassembling and cleaning is always smart though. I oil the contact points on trems too. Picrel is the only lubricant you "need" on a guitar. Its better than deoxit imo.

>>126993567
see the little hole? its for oil to maintain them.

>>126993595
i thought those was for the tone to come out of

>>126993585
no it's not. guitar parts are stainless and nickel. they don't need a protective coating

>>126993585
can you imagine how greasy and dead this niggas strings are
it's not a car you fucking dingus

>>126993622
>braindead about instrument maintenance
It's for potentiometers, not hardware.

>>126993640
you just said "adding a thin layer to hardware"
shut the fuck up you backpedaling trog

>>126993607
Each tuner is a mini acoustic guitar

uh oh cooked him

>>126993420
Who’s being a tryhard edgy contrarian shitbag?

>>126993655
I figured mentioning "deoxit" would instantly clue in guitar players into why the picrel was contextually relevant. I see now my mistake was assuming you've ever done anything past changing strings.
>adding a thin layer to hardware
Yes. Adding oil to screws and metal-on-metal moving contact points (like trem posts) is standard preventative maintenance.

>>126993704
I bet you oil your knife-edge too

>>126993704
some rust on your junk adds toan

this is why I stick with lemon juice

>>126993905
muriatic acid is far cheaper per oz

>>126994103
make sure you play with gloves, thick clothing and a facemask then

>>126993566

Anyone have a rundown on the difference between modern squier indonesian CVs with the older squier MiC psuedo-CVs?
I got to dick around with a used chinese tele at guitar center, not bad overall but the v-shaped neck was weird and the pickups sounded REALLY muddy, bass scooped across 3 amps I tried it on. If it itself is decent I wouldn't mind doing a pickup swap but for 100$ more I could get a new indo-CV tele that I know would be decent and not have some dude's jizz on it

>>126993566
this sounds like it's gonna break my speaker wtf

>>126992896
I hate crustangs but this looks like sex ngl
Do the coils split?

>>126994140
he'll yeah. For me it's the limited edition Scotty Pippen ES295

>>126994259
indonesian squier/fenders seem to be very well made. better than mim in construction but not specs. i dont know what factory ibanez and jackson are using but they're practically waste

>>126993566
>literally sounds like fried farts and assholes

>>126994296
>indonesian squier/fenders seem to be very well made. better than mim in construction
what MIMs have you been playing?

i hope the ring thing never goes out of stock

>>126994280
>Do the coils split?
they do not, I hadn't really even considered it for my Mustang
I did set up a coil splitter on my Squier Esquire and I'm very happy with it, so I may do the same to my Mustang down the line (won't share pics of the Esquire yet because I fucked up the pickguard trying to fit it with the 3 way switch plate desu)
>>126994296
I wouldn't say they're better than MiM but they certainly come close
Chinese ones are on par too from my experience so far (my sonic 'stang)

coil split? nah, try coil tap.

>>126994460
>>126994525
have you tried the new indo guitars? they're a lot better than they were 3 years ago

I just had a sneaky glass of merlot.
How about you?

If the CV and Standard are both MII where is the price difference coming from?

>>126994774
The 6 different letters on the headstock

>>126994774
the electronics are probably different. the pots in my standard p bass are fantastic. they feel the exact same as the ones in my american original. haven't taken the pickguard off yet to look

does it even make sense to buy pedals if your bedroom amp has build-in effects?

>>126995079
depends on the pedal
depends on the effect
an EQ pedal is a very nice thing to have

>>126995079
yes if you need the effect momentarily, or the pedal has parameters you need that the amp doesn't.

>>126995079
your amp probably has a dedicated footswitch sold separately. consider that before buying pedals, but also get an EQ pedal.

>>126993513

regular slinky isn't nearly slinky enough

>>126995302
>slinky
gayboy

>>126992896
These aren’t horrible. I have a Sonic and a Bullet, the Sonic is a bit nicer, very decent after a thorough setup and fret cleanup. They’re miles off from MIM fender even but for the price better than no Mustang. Offsets have the biggest gap in quality between Squier and Fender in my experience, so if you like this, save up for a Vintera at least, get one with a vibrato and proper pickup switches.

>>126995352
>british
oi m8 you got a loicense for that garotte?

>just like it was supposed to be before they changed it to unwound
bros?? am i trying out 13's next??

>>126993513
that hairdresser is saving chapper's career. There's definitely a lot to learn from this video and it changes the way I approach playing and buying gear.

>>126995479
shit you *don't* like the vt20x?
I was looking at vt40x because it won the anderton's amp shootout, anything else you don't like, is it just the sounds?
There's tons of effects but once you understand the workflow and the vox app it seems to get really gud.

>13s
hmm I need less.

really doesn't matter when all you can are boomer bends and chords, the brand fits you well if anything.

>>126995436
.10s are regulars and always have been.

you keep at it and it gets easier, right?

>>126995793
if you practice every day you can be halfway decent in a year
okay in two
as you get comfortable with the basics you should also challenge yourself more with learning new techniques and playing faster, so it doesn't really get easier per se as you keep moving the goalpost

>>126995464
Cool

>>126995464
aint nobody gunna pay you though

>>126995793
yes

>>126995079
I did this, and yeah. Got a little modelling amp, found I couldn’t play most songs I like on it because of the inability to turn shit on and off. Bought a little normal valve amp and a bunch of pedals, now the other one is in my office for fucking around on. Built in effects are gay and pointless unless you have a foot switch for them and even then they’re still gay because they’re inexpensive and hobbies are all about spending money to fill a hole

Yeah I was shit a year ago and now I can play a bunch of butt rock songs and also pinch harmonics

>>126994136
>>126994269
>>126994419
Yeah but imagine if u got it to not sound like shit. Wouldn't that be cool

>>126992774
It's really depressing sometimes. I feel like music is about playing with others. After the few times I jammed and it went well I've been chasing that high but I cant get it alone. I hope u get to play with someone soon

>>126995079
Nope. You're done buying unless you're a gigantic consooomer faggot.

>>126995888
thanks bros. im having fun with it but not seeing too much improvement as of late.

>>126993167
Just go on Amazon and get a guitar repair kit for $20

>>126995949
if you're barely starting out it's very likely going to be a few months before you see any meaningful improvement
keep at it, don't become one of those "it wasn't for me" quitter fags

>>126991248
Anon you need an AVRI of sorts.

>>126995949
I bought a guitar 1 month ago and the only thing I can do is chromatic scales at 90 bpm. I'm with you brother but the grind doesnt stop. Eventually these days will be the ones you remember fondly. The best part about practice is that it cant make you worse, you only improve the more you play.

>>126995949
How long have you been at it?

>>126996005
4 or 5 decades

>>126993089
I don't need to play along with a metronome because I was gifted with an innate sense of rhythm a d have my earbuds in since 2009

>>126996010
only 4 or 5 more and you'll be halfway decent bro

>>126996035
ty wagmi

I fondly remember the day I discovered how to gallop

>>126993089
What's the difference? I always use my drum machine cus the metronome sound annoys me

>>126995986
It’s hard because I vividly remember drooling over AVRI guitars in Musicians Friend magazine when I was in high school and trying my hardest to work my butt off every summer to buy one but even when they were $1500 new that might as well have been $150,000 for a 14-15 year old kid. In my head I’m always gonna bitter that I couldn’t afford an AVRI Jag when they were new and it’s hard paying twice their new cost nowadays for a used one

deku tree was talking smack so I cut it down into overpriced shit planks, sustain for days tho, I might just cuuuuum

>>126996234
you never think about how good those deku lips must feel

My bass is in my car, I dont feel like getting it so I'm playing guitar tonight

>>126996274
If you stay on the low E it's like practicing guitar and bass at the same time

>>126996086
metronome practice is setting the click to the e of 2 and it only comes in randomly one out of every 3 bars

I’ve been enjoying the Sonic P bass I got recently, it’s kinda fun having two plus decades of guitar experience and being able to do quite a bit off the bat but still be green as hell when it comes to plucking and fretting in a bass neck. Kinda wish I would have splurged on the MIJ Mustang bass that was sent on accident when I order my MG73. Going shorter scale probably isn’t the move right now though, best to focus on the P bass first. Still… would have been nice to have matching Fiesta Mustang guitar/bass pair.

>>126996274
>My bass is in my car
I'm guessing the high wasn't 114 degrees for you today

We now live in a world where normies can easily get fooled by generative AI voices, and even people with years of exposure to generative audio can now be tricked occasionally with a very good prompter and program. I suspect by next year it should have totally indistinguishable quality with no artifacts, and accurate emulation of all the mannerisms of a person's voice.

With that being the case, what is the gearfag cope going to be when AI amp and pedal software reaches a similar level of quality? Surely you've got one prepared already, and if not, it's worth thinking about. It's going to be very challenging to defend your expensive funko pop collection when even seasoned old gearfags like Rick Beato are admitting that the AI emulation sounds identical.

>>126995976
Can’t do that I only buy quality stuff

That's fair. My Jag is an 08 that i got for around $3k and it did hurt a bit but modern Jags just don't do it for me. My JM is a '20 shop special order that I got for around $2k and I feel much better about that one, but I stil prefer Jags ngl.

It's a shame Fender neuters every single one of their modern offsets in some fashion. Only their AmOg line is worth a fuck.

>>126996402
Nah only 80s. East coast but it was hot as fuck last week

>>126995079
if your bedroom amp is a boss katana or positive grid you don't need pedals desu
i still believe in the joyo/fender champ + whatever pedals you can waste your shit on
alternatively just buy those modellers and save thousands of dollarydoos in one go
better amp is always a better investment over $300+ limited run meme pedals

>>126995079
Pedals are cool. Cool people have pedals

>>126996653
I’m honestly happy with my Mustangs. I had a JM for a few years and I’ve never really felt like I’ve wanted another, I liked my Strat better than it so if I were to ever buy another I’d probably just come to the same conclusion that I’d just prefer one of the Strats I already have. I’d like a Jag but I also am not terribly into how bright they are. I like that they have a sound that they do well and I like the offset vibrato but I’d hate to spend a couple grand on one just to never really click with a lot of the sounds they’re known for. With the Mustang they’re kind of Strat-ish which is familiar territory sound wise but also they’ve got their own sound too, just about everything about them I love. They’re the only offset I need

>>126996481
I do these things for my own entertainment, I have no goal with this. I jam with my fiancé, I run with my dog and I drink with my friends. Becoming a successful musician is of equal importance to me as becoming a successful drinker, it doesn’t make any sense in my context. I buy stuff I like because it’s trivial amounts of money for things that I derive joy from. Not everything has to have a point, I’m doing things for the sake of doing them. I started skateboarding again recently, I’ll never become professional or probably even good, but it’s fun

>>126996828
I'm pining after a vintage Mustang myself desu. Especially since they're still relatively cheap compared to vintage JM's and Jags. Maybe someday..

>>126996861
My 1977 was sub $1500 and I can’t be happier with it. I was expecting an ash boat anchor but it’s a hair over 7 pounds. Don’t sleep on 1970s Fenders but also be aware of potential issues they could have (oversized neck pockets are a common one). There was a 1966 Mustang locally for $2800 that was a good player grade mustang but still $3k for one is hard to swallow. I’d gladly buy another 1970s one for sub $2k if I were after another one

Why do youtube shredders never produce good music?

>>126996928
they focused on playing more notes instead of playing better notes

I'm apparently getting one of these from a well meaning relative soon. Anyone have any experience with one?

>>126996948
Van Halen played alot of notes and sounded awesome, but he knew how to compose I guess.
I just wonder why people with so much knowledge of scales, harmonies and whatnot suck at making music.

>>126996980
you can't teach taste unfortunately.

What songs use the minor pentatonic scale?

>>126997060
i can't think of any off hand

>>126996653
Nice stickers fag

>>126997060
not uncommon in hard rock ballads. stuff like Don't You Cry Tonight and Unforgiven

My toan? It’s summoned from my taint/scrote. When an arthoe gagger is giving me too I tell her “apply pressure and massage my toan chakra

>>126996980
The same thing that makes every young guy on a Guitar suck ass and sound like 1 to 1 copies of each other. They just learn some shit off YouTube, jerk off to it a bit, and never apply it meaningfully in a song's context. It's why these guys never write albums, and if they do they suck ass because it's lazy use of complex technique with no grasp of good songwriting. (See also Ramparts413 or literally any wankstain doing TikTok Guitar shit.)

my solos? yeah i just pick a scale and run it top to bottom a few times really fast to really mix it up i'll sweep pick it at the end

>>126997060
there is no such thing as a song in a pentatonic scale, pentatonic is just for soloing, not building chords. songs are either in a major or minor scale

>>126997637
Wrong

any japanese scale songs?

any heptatonic scale songs?

>>126997758
a heptatonic scale is a 7 note scale, all songs in western music are major or minor so are heptatonic

>>126997837
name one

>>126997868

That's a great song. Theory chads win again.

I'm looking for something that will let me sound like the vocaroos i see posted here.
Will picrel get me there?

>>126997743
I dont know anything about japanese music but I do know all of traditional chinese music is in the pentatonic scale (they dont play chords so their music can be just pentatonic). If you go on youtube and search for traditional chinese instrumental music and put it on 2x speed it sound just like a country music guitar player jamming out

>>126997929
You should sell a limited run of these.

>gibson releases the more paul model
do you buy?

>>126997929
Lmao

>>126997993
the trick is knowing what settings to use to get the most out of it

>>126998003
Make sure you sell it for at least $200 so you can price the browns out

Any guild, especially the ones that are made in Korean. They have big discounts since they're discontinued.
