I love your guitar, man. Can I borrow it? Hey, that guitar, I’d love to try it. Bro, that guitar looks sick, can I try it? Now that’s a fantastic guitar, I’d love to buy it. Can you get that guitar down for me? I need to try it. That’s a nice guitar, man, you should let me try it. Man, now there’s a guitar you should let me try. I’ll be careful, man, let me try that guitar.

can yall really not sight read? lol...

Maybe i'm just too nice but I really don't care if people try out my gear, no matter how expensive it is. If they break it that's on me, repairs aren't that expensive. You're only on this earth once brother, you've got to share the gift of music.

>>127052449
The pickups on the MG65 have special “vintage” voiced pickups from the factory. They sound great, the bridge pickup especially sounds really great. The pickups on the vintage one sound great too but it’s the neck pickup on it that takes the cake over the two pickups. I don’t want to mess with the original pickups but it’d be cool to mix the vintage neck with the CIJ bridge and get the best of both worlds in it.
I’m going to need to do some tweaking with the wiring at some point because one of the sliders is wired in reverse. When the sliders are in the same direction they’re out of phase and when they’re in different directions they’re in phase and it should be the other way around. I don’t know if it was a factory mistake (I doubt it) but the soldering joints and wires are very old so if it was swapped around accidentally it was a long time ago. If I’m having to rewire that it would be the time to replace pickups if I’m going to do that, again I’d hate messing with replacing original pickups but Lollar makes some great sets of Mustang pickups that everyone recommends so idk

just played this today

Got some radius gauges from china. I'm sure they're mislabeled because the 12" has much more curve than the 7.25". I don't want to have to check them all manually.

Name a guitar builder that isn't a lifestyle or virtue-signalling brand.

>>127053436
damn i'd be forever skeptical of those gauges

Passion > Technical Ability > What instrument you have

>>127052452
nah bro
(ignore the walls, i have still not repainted my guitar room)

>>127053436
You can check them with a compass and a ruler, or a pencil and a string and a ruler. It would take all of 45 seconds to draw a couple radius circles and check the gauges against that. Anyway, that sucks balls, Anon. I like tools and having something not be precise would be a total bummer.

>>127053526

why make the body so ugly... its like they want us to make fun of headless players.

>>127054139
They did the bottom angle so you could play it classical style (admittedly more comfy) but also cut off a bunch of shit that ruined the silhouette

>>127054115
its the "Squier Sonic Strat HT H Flash Pink" that i threw some black parts on + an emg pickup in
despite having much much more expensive guitars i still find myself picking it up quite often.

>>127053888
someone hurt your feelings?

>>127054115
Some of the Paranormals are pretty decent. I have one of the first batch of Toronados and it feels really nice, but the pickup selector is starting to go and needs a fresh solder or maybe replacement. The pickups have a nice sound but are on the quiet side, I might pay someone to swap them for WRHBs and go through all the wiring to make sure it’s tip top. I have too many other projects active at the moment to tackle it myself, I’ve been operating on my MG100DFX and that has felt like open heart surgery to a laymen like myself. I got the new power switch on, now I just need to put the new input jack in..

>>127054171
I don't blame you, I got a wierd epi mcclusterfuck awhile back and it's so light and resonant it's basically the only guitar I noodle on, even after I got a nice MiJ lp clone. Surprised a cheap guitar was made as well as it was, the frets never even sprouted.

>>127054106
They have a paulocaster too

Beginner here
I wanna play hardcore/emo/skramz/math rocky shit, and I hear a Tele is good for that
But I also want to play shoegazy, maybe blackgaze style stuff and I hear Jazzmasters are best for that
I also like a lot of doom metal and goth and post punk too but I don't even know what's good for those genres
Wtf guitar do I get?

>>127054171
I have two Sonics, one Mustang I got to practice fret maintenance on and a P bass I bought for recording initially but it’s so nice I find myself picking it up pretty frequently. I’m sure there are total lemons but the two I got came ready to play, especially the P bass. The satin necks and maple fretboards feel so good compared to the Squiers I’m used to. QC in general is a pretty big step up from the Squiers of 10+ years ago, it’s pretty impressive and worth actually recommending to new players looking to dip their feet in without spending hundreds of dollars.

>>127054354
just get a humbucker with coil taps

>>127054354
A Strat can do it all, but if that’s not cool enough for you, you could try a Jazzmaster. What are you looking to spend?

>>127054397
I'm a eurofag but ig anything under $1200 USD?

>>127053526
Faith. All solid wood acoustic guitars built to an excellent standard, for a great price. I have a Faith Venus Eclipse and it's the only acoustic I'll ever own. If I ever break or lose it, I'll immediately buy another one.

>>127054268
I really like the Paranormals I've played, better feeling necks than the CVs and the pickups are good. Hope they keep that line going.

>>127054354
>hardcore/emo/skramz/math rocky shit
something with humbuckers like a LTD EC-1000 , the absolute dogshit fender pickups won't be able to handle the distortion and the limpdick teletwangcaster garbage wont be any different, not to mention the play ability is going to be garbage the moment you change the tuning

just get active pickups and a eq pedal if you're trying to play 37 different genres

>>127054521
>just get active pickups
Or just don't buy a fender or one of the abortions like a mustrash or a teleshit lmao it's that simple. Most modern guitars are good enough for everything.

>>127054546
active pickups can do everything and are virtually noiseless

>>127053741
It's 7-20". So I need to use a rip and give it the 8 distances for these two gauges.

>>127053835
I've never regretted buying Hamers, the 2 or three times I've done it.

>>127054672

>>127054423
Get a Player II Modified HSS Strat. You’ll have a humbucker for heavy stuff, be able to split the coils of the HB and play anything Inbetween bluegrass, jazz and metal.

I hate to agree with schizoposter that never replies to posts he criticizes but if that anon is a beginner he'd be better off with the 340$ eart HH strat, at least from youtube videos you know it's good and he can dip his toes in the water before getting a brand name shitocaster

this is just note wankery

A local shop got one of these 1980s MIJ Teles with two Seymour Duncan HBs and a locking vibrato, the same model guitar Frank Black used in with Pixies and I’m tempted because I’ve loved that band for 20 years and I’ve seen photos and videos of him playing this guitar a million times but it’s $1200 (yikes) and has some honest wear to it considering it’s 40 years old.

>>127055203
If you don't buy it, a tranny will, you don't want crusty semen getting on a guitar you love do you? (Also MiJ stuff is going to the moon now, old orville's cost as much as new LPs).
Also what wear? it looks decent, I have a MiJ that's only 15 years old and it was pretty beat up, far more than yours looks.

>>127055240
That’s just a pic of the model from google, I didn’t take a pic of the actual guitar. I love this band so freaking much and it’d be cool to have the guitar he used the most from the late 1980s through the early 1990s when they initially broke up. I hate Floyd Roses though so I’d have to get over it having a Fender branded Floyd Rose.

omg yeis give me another usb C to usb LQBTQ+/-IAXYZ adapter and power supply to keep track of

now this will finally give me those tones (bugs) I've been chasing

>>127055203

I don’t care where it’s made, these specific models were only made by Fender Japan so yeah it’s MIJ

Why does this general attract schizos and morons

>>127055462
this is 4chan

>>127055462
it is genuinely a money thing. anyone can buy a $20 video game or a f2p game but not everyone can buy a guitar or a gun (/k/) so you always get this kind of behavior.

>>127055462
The same playbook is run on every general on 4chan. Otherwise the people they hate might feel happy and empowered.

>>127054876
I love the single-coil fishmans in my strat
I fucking hate how often I leave the cable plugged in and nuke the battery.

>>127055891
just practice playing a single note. also good advice for learning a scale etc just limit yourself to a few notes at a time until it becomes intuitive then add another one

He's picking on a 12-string but still getting the shimmering effect even though it looks like he's only picking one string at a time.
I've never handled a 12-string before so I don't know why this is

Should've been PAFs instead of P90s

>>127056283
he is adding an alternating bassline by walking down to the 5th (G) of the C chord and adds a hammer on to the third sometimes. then goes to E minor and D i think. i'm not a guitar player but that's what it looks like to me. you could play this in a week if you're new

>>127056273
I bought a Crimson strat recently..but I dig that pickguard.

>>127056312

I've been playing open d (and occasionally g and dadgad) exclusively. I haven't played in standard tuning like ever. Am I really missing anything? I used to (try) to play base, but without anyone to play withi just always ended up trying to play high up in the neck, so I gave that up.

>>127056639
Ukulele=micro 9mm. A fad that peaked and fizzled, but never went away. You only have a use case for one, but get several anyway.

Is there a cheatcode to fingerstyle fast?

The Strat is AR15 of guitars. Interchangeable and aftermarket parts galore, mod it anyway you want.

>>127056704
Literally don't own a pick.

>>127056704
Just do it. I don't even remember looking into it formally. You'll just get better over time. Try some songs that you know are fingerstyle.
Try Kansas/Dust in the Wind. Everyone should learn that anyways. Boomer Rites of Passage #3, after Iron Man and Smoke On the Water.

>>127056684
what's the derringer of guitars

>>127056647
no i don't think so as long as you're not relying on generic fingerings and learn to make all your different chords

>>127056704
nope. though studies suggest that playing at a brisk tempo and only intermittently going all out makes faster progress than just trying to reach a new sustained tempo every week. justin johnson has a good video on finger style practice if you're talking about guitar

>>127053630
I hope you just posed it for a pic and don't actually hang it like that all day

The thing I'm stuck on right now is scale shapes. With a base the shape is the same everywhere because it's all in 4ths, but even a standard tuning guitar has that B that should be a C to make cords easier but fucks up the pattern. With open D, I mostly can play in D using the open strings without fucking up, but any other key relies on some weird fret spacing.
I saw a video where a guy claimed he could play scales in dadgad and never use a string twice, but I didn't get it. Must have been a 12 string? I dunno.
Anyway I don't practice scales, ever. I sucked on base, but at least I could play scales.

yeah i believe the bottom two strings on a guitar solely for barre chords because your bottom two will always be your octave and 5th. as far as open d tuning i guess that's why it's so great for slide because you're really only using 2-3 strings at a time

That’s my biggest gripe with the top of the range Squiers, is the pickups are the weakest part of the guitars flaw wise. All of the CV pickups sound like ass to me, but oddly the cheapest Squiers have hotter and nicer sounding pickups, to me at least.

>>127055112

>>127057378
I found the video
https://youtu.be/yl9q6dFOpA4?si=ZFvUITazTRoKUqnA
Around 6 minutes. He's heading towards the neck on the base strings when playing descending d major so he can actually go to a lighter string and never play the same string twice in a row. This only works with d though, bit is not a 12 string, it's dadgad.
I still have no concept on how to play scales in any non bass 4ths tuning without open strings.
Also, coming from bass to guitar is weird because the "bottom" e isn't the same as guitar. The way you refer to strings is reversed.

>>127055292
Couldn’t you replace the bridge with something else? Seems like a sweet buy, I’d go for it. Anons talk shit but MIJ fenders are worth the hype

Retard here, can someone explain how the hell compound radius fretboards work?
You're telling me they start at 9.5 and go down to 14 but that doesn't cause awful string rise at the lower frets?

>>127057413
I always hear that, the CVs are equivalent or slightly better than the low range or MiM fenders but the electronics are gimped are are the first things that need to go with the wiring. After buying a CV and a decent drop in geared-up pickguard you're right back to the price of a player II or something.
What's interesting is some of the chinese amazon brands are starting to put out decent cheap fender copies with decent wiring/custom hot pups and full-size pots. I've been looking at Eart strats recently desu, that angry metrosexual finnish guy elmo karjalainen says earts usually win his affordable guitar shootouts but the main brands lack (except for epiphone now, surprisingly).

>>127057483
I hate the look but because of the belly scarf and neck scarf with the body cut so you can play classical, I've been thinking about getting one of these abominations, this or the tele abomination version

Like how hard is this? You put the first harmonic in the 12th fret and lower the action until the buzzing starts then raise it until it stops. How is that an all day job?

Aside that, some guitars can have wonky issues. I have a set-neck epi where the neck is slightly bent transversely and can never ever get the low E to stop buzzing... until I put a new tall nut on and put some business card under the string in the nut slot.
Some people don't have patience though but it took me like 12mins of youtube videos to learn what needed to happen.

>>127057511
These are like 150 on ali. It's the same bridge and I'm going to assume the inlays are exactly the same.

>>127057670
Based. Keep it forever. Not only because it’s a cool handmedown but also because 94s are literally perfect. John Moses Browning (pbuh) has blessed you with his design.

I can only speak for Jags when it comes to CVs, but my Vintera Jag is orders of magnitude nicer than my CV Jag. Like no contest, both required some real TLC and shims but after that the CV still plays like a turd and the Vintera is great all around. That CV jag seems to be the worst of the bunch though, I see a lot of people happy with their CV Jazzmasters

I need to stop buying guitars and invest in a proper fireproof safe. He also left me a early FN Auto 5 and west German P226, I liked the 226 so much a bought a modern one so as to keep the OG for good (it’s like new, probably fired under a thousand rounds).

>lower the action until the buzzing starts then raise it until it stops
NTA but it's not that uncommon for total beginners and kids to break the truss

>>127057736
Nah the 94 is the basically the same size firing a cartridge twice as long and considerably more pressure than the 92s original .44-40. 92s are super strong and great rifles too but the 94 is a feat of engineering genius with how JMB designed the action.
>>127057801
Based grandpa. My dad has given me a few rifles and handguns over the years and they’re special to me because I have fond memories shooting them as a kid. Auto 5s are really cool, I had one for a while but traded it for a weird rare Soviet optic for my AK74 many years ago. 226s are gigachad guns especially West German ones (but I am an unapologetic Beretta fanboy). I just piled all of my guns in the corners of my closet for years and years until I had a kid then I had to finally get a safe. I’ve got two safes filled with stuff now, I had to sell a lot that I didn’t shoot anymore because I didn’t want to buy more safes (I’ve been buying guns since I was 16 and have done a ton of buying and selling and trading over the years and have had a LOT).

Anyone here care to recommend or advise against an Epiphone SG?

i love my shitplank so much sisters

>>127057958
I liked it at first but it just sounds so muddy and theres a few uneven frets making it so I can't set the action where I like it without a ton of fret noise.
Also I feel like the neck is really wobbly, like barely moving my arm makes it sound like a tremolo.

>>127057958
Have you ever played an SG? I’d suggest trying one first. They’re polarizing, they either click for you or they don’t. If they don’t click for you try an Les Paul Special for something similar in construction.

>>127057966
Also its a baby bitch in terms of build quality, the input jack nut comes loose very easily, the knobs feel incredibly fragile and flimsy, the pickup selector gets stuck sometimes and you have to reclick through for it to actually lock in.

it just sounds dead idk if its the pickups or my setup
First is Fender Strat, humbucker bridge
Second is Epiphone SG, Humbucker bridge

>>127057689
Are you left handed? Why would you draw it that way?

>>127057958
Newer epis are quite decent but if they're 800$ you're better off scoping ebay and reverb for japanese copies like edwards or grassroots that end up in the 400-700$ range

>>127057759
Sorry. $250 probably from tariffs. No bone nut, this one is resting on the zero fret. The truss access is behind the nut instead of at the neck pocket. Same bridge. Different tops and inlays vary piece to piece even though that pattern does show up. A frew Grote logo on the body and pickups that don't show in the listings.

>>127058066
I went to check, surprisingly most were 400$ or more but all seemed different. I've only seen reviews for earts but all the reviews are glowing. What got me was the pickup test landon bailey did and the 57 PAF copies actually read at about 8.4/9.1 respectively.

Would learning a 12 string first make it easier to paly a 6 string?

>>127057834
I meant using the set screws. I don't think I've ever fucked with the truss rod, maybe a quarter turn one time. Maybe I got lucky.

>>127058091
I should play the Grote more often. It has a few high frets that need to be hammered down on the ends. Neck, tuning, feel, mahogany body are all good. Pickups are passable and directly screwed in. They made the top print more convincing with some sort of stamping at the knots of the print.

>>127057948
i'm not saying it isn't technically impressive, the 92 is smaller, smoother, lighter, and with 44 mag has 14 capacity vs 30-30s 12. i have a model 94 in 444 marlin which is great but it's a weaker action that the 92 desu

>>127058057
yes also it's not even for me. if you don't like it you need to redraw it

>>127058102
Yes, but you won't save any time because you'd be in the exact same situation if you did it the other way. You might as well tho. You'll get a unique style from weird habits. If you want you're first guitar to be a 12 string, go for it.
However, if you have a string already and you're asking this, you're a therapy shopper and need to practice what you already got. How far along are you?

>>127058184
Ok I know what you mean. I’d love a 92 in a proper magnum revolver cartridge. I’ve got a newer Marlin 1894 in .357 that I need to have threaded to suppress but I’d still like a 92. I had an old 92 in .25-20 that I got for a while but it was such a pain to buy brass and molds and reload it and all that that I sold it. I loved how light and svelte it was. If it was .44-40 I’d have kept it because at least that is semi available if still expensive.

>>127057817
You just got a bad one. CV are great for he money.

>>127058195
It's cool. It just confused me at first until I looked at the g. The 2 guitars I actually play are in open D rn, but it's the easiest retune you can do. The hard part is going to be not reflexively playing the open d cord shapes.

surely you're fishing for engagement with this one?

Fender keeps changing what their "Standard" even is.
They can't make up their mind on the word "Standard". It was American Standard for years, but now it's the American Professional series. Except they came back with the regular foreign made "Standard" again, but keep the Professional line.
