There are few boomers who like a hardtail strat. Except Clapton.

>>127061840 (OP)
First for abominationcasters

>>127061859
I bet this is peak comfy to play sitting down

"People" who deck their strat or use hardtails need to be euthanized.

oh no you don't

That's a three bolt 70s hardtail Strat he's playing there that was repainted and the headstock reshaped at the Charvel factory

>>127061949
Ah you're right. Even his Charvel is a hardtail.

Oh, forgot Belly Corgan also played a hardtail Strat for a long time. Including the Gish strat
Fender pissed him off for some reason, so now he doesn't use them.

here's a backing track for y'all

How good can you get on a shitty thirdie guitar? I have an acoustic that cost maybe like $50 like 14 years ago. Horrible sound, horrible action, among other things so I never practiced
But now I want to get back into it, maybe buy a Taylor 214 in a few months if I decide this hobby is really for me
But yeah, how good can you get on a shitty guitar?

>>127062357
By thirdie it was probably mass produced in China or Pakistan or something, not even Mexico

>>127061868
so true, I could kill whoever puts hardtails on all of Schecter guitars instead of normal trems

>>127062357
>But yeah, how good can you get on a shitty guitar?
like Im sure you can tell the difference between a cheap and expensive acoustic guitar, because youre white and being white you can feel the quality. kind of funny how /gg/ shits non stop on people who want tone woods but somehow they know the difference between a $300 and a $1000 just by looking at it

after you get done pretending you know wtf youre talking about, go to a guitar shop and try a cheap guitar before you buy to make sure it doesnt have buzzing frets

>>127062357
>How good can you get on a shitty thirdie guitar?
Pretty good probably, the best guitarists in the world more or less all started on very shitty guitars

Headstock brand

>>127062357
Probably very good. Put lighter strings on your guitar

>>127062479
The brand doesn't help if the headstock itself sucks.

>>127061840 (OP)
hey chat im currently tansitioning from classical guitar (~12 y lessons, since i was like 7ish) after some pause to acoustic.
now i cant really wrap my head around strumming properly? especially longer patterns (in 16ths d--d-du-ud-dudu or something, im not used to this anymore), are there any resources for that specifically

"They Had No Talent"

>>127062507
I picked up practically everything rock and folk related from just listening and imitating. Just your music tastes and listening experience will get you there. What you learned formally is harder than that.

>>127062507
Just downstrum on the beat and upstrum on the and, it’s not rocket science

>>127061868
Decked mine

>>127062118
Rick Beato has a horse cock

>>127062541
idk if we take specifically d---d-du-ud-dudu and divide it in fourths (as obv the song is in 4/4) we get d---|d-du|-ud-|dudu, and like the delay before the last... idk i struggle w it

What are some guitars with wider necks? I think standard fender necks are still a bit too narrow for me

>>127062108
Made in India.
It's total fucking garbitch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGQ2iwCCWrw

>>127062605
Rhythm is especially the kind of thing your listening habits will change in your playing. Not to say that people who listen to a lot of music are good musicians. But you're both a good listener and musician, then your vocabulary expands all the more.

>>127062624
I don't know about electrics, but all classical guitars are wider (and flat).

>>127062605
A classical musician having no sense of feel. What a surprise. Try being less formulaic in your approach. Not everything needs to be done so precisely. Just play on time

>>127062605
Learn how to swing like one of those cool cats my man, once you can swing you’ll have the feel for strumming to a rhythm in time ya dig?

>>127062627
so just listen to more of the rythm section when listening to music should help or are there other more proactive things? ive been trying to slowly tap the rythm i described at ~40-60bpm so uh

>>127062674
If he can get over this, he'll mog all of us. Don't knock it. The fundamentals of training early like that would pay off.

>>127062674
dude exept for a metronome im just using my voice and the guitar
>>127062681
no idea what that means sorry

>>127062683
Not necessarily the rhythm section, per se. The rhythm is in every instrument. It could just be one guy and a guitar, but he could still have a groove.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ner4hbSTfkE

>>127062687
No doubt his fundamentals are probably great but he lacks instinct at the moment. This is why jazz musicians mog classical ones..

>>127062694
Downstrum on the tick of the metronome and upstrum in time between the ticks. Practice that, simple down up down up in time with a metronome. Then practice removing one of the down strokes and rest on a beat (1&2&_&4&/DUDU_UDU) or some other variations of that and just do stuff like that over and over. It isn’t difficult, I think you’re just overthinking it because you’re not used to it. You’ve got a metronome, just practice and remember down on the beat and up on the and.

>>127062625
There should be a law putting upfront where guitars were made

Imagine paying $900 just to find out it comes from fucking India.

yeah nah nvm i think i got at least this. js gotta practise so i dont have to think and can focus on my left

>>127062767
That’s Deusenberg, they’re all “European” and “German” when they’re actually made in Korea and “finished” in Europe

re: the 'squeezing' sound anon
i'm not really sure exactly what you meant, but pinch harmonics, vibrations, and bends all produce that feel

>>127062767
The info is public and it's your fault for not looking it up

>>127062778
I'll take made in china and assembled in Korea over India any day.

>>127062787
NTA, but it's a little iffy with some brands. Like almost all of those Cordoba classical guitars sure as hell aren't from Cordoba, Spain. They're from China. And their high end ones are made by random Spanish luthiers contracted for the work.

>>127062807
When I say iffy, I don't think they have their guitars labeled as China. They say some flaky Apple shit like "Designed in California". Nor is it always on GC or Sweetwater's site and whatnot.

The real crime is Fender charges an arm and leg for their Tonemaster stuff, but those are from China too. You could pay a similar price for a US made Fender tube amp instead. They don't have nor care to have the facilities to make US made modeling amps.

>>127062787
It's a massive characteristic, as important as listing their construction materials and stuff.

The seller should be obliged to tell you in the same page they listed the product. No googling for more info bullshit.

>>127062834
Legislation is hard to word and enforce. What ends up happening is you get shit like Germany where Turks do final assembly on chinesium, adding another failure point to the same bullshit.

>>127062875
The worst part of interacting with China in any way means they'll eventually steal your IP and then go right to flooding your own market with copies of the shit you contracted them for.
It's worse for even smaller businesses who might stumble on a cool idea, but don't have manufacturing capabilities...so they go to China for it. Only to eventually get destroyed out of the very market they created.

>>127062889
I think this happened with some German tool makers btw. Smaller guys like that.

Chinese are worse than Indians and gypsies. They're all scammer cultures. And they can't help it. Nor do they care to help it. But they're actually worse than gypsies since gypsies don't eat cats and dogs afaik.

>>127062889
>they'll eventually steal your IP and then go right to flooding your own market with copies of the shit you contracted them for
You mean like how every guitar company in the world already did with fender guitars, a bit late for that
These are fucking planks of wood glued together lol there's no fucking secret to them, who gives a fuck

>>127062918
I'm not just talking about guitars. Just going on a tangent on how it's bad for everyone. It's theoretically worse for anyone like you guys who might want to make something more than these big companies. In longterm, it's not a good system for any average business. Unless you enjoy being raped for some reason.
It's better for big corps and cheapskate consoomers.

Fender are the biggest scammers. their "American" guitars are built in Mexico then assembled in America. only the custom shop guitars are fully made in USA.

>>127062950
You can go see them make it for yourself.
If anything, they improved MIMs, since they all use the same US made hardware now.

>>127062542
Strat deckers gargle pedo cock lmao, who would have guessed

>>127062605
Start with paranoid by black sabbath, it's just all downstrums
Then for the first time by the script is a good step 0.5

what the hell is chanking?

>>127061868
this is why I have a hardtail humbuckler guitar and a jorge floyd wangler bar guitar

>>127062624
most Ibanez, at least the RG and JEM models. Flat and wide with big frets

>>127062778
Aren't they made in Croatia? They used to be at least.

>>127063119
chank on my crank namsayin

What's the cheapest electric set up that isn't going to be total garbage then? I hate electric guitar as a home hobbyist who will never perform anywhere, but I imagine there's been advancements in shit since the last time I tried electrical. I still have a shitty base amp somewhere I think. I have some shitty bases as well.

What I mean is, I hate having to plug it in (my home electrical is from the 50's and shitty,) and I hate having to use a cord, but I imagine cordless set ups are better and cheaper now? Maybe not.

does anyone here know lilypond?

if so why isnt this working

Robert Cray has a hardtail sig.
https://www.long-mcquade.com/26783/Guitars/Electric-Guitars/Fender-Musical-Instruments/Robert-Cray-Stratocaster-Electric-Guitar-Inca-Silver.htm

I am confused.

I recently bought my first guitar, I noticed that the tremolo bar came separately. I had to attach it myself. But I don't know what does it do. The tremolo bar supposedly detunes your guitar when you move it but mine doesn't do anything.

>>127063629
>tremolo bar

no one cares anon

>>127063629
that's impossible unless there is a block inbetween the tremolo

>>127063723
Do people still call them wammy bars?

Been stuck on this for 48 hours. Holy shit

>>127063862
I hate grinding songs like this, imo worthless

>>127063629
did you buy it used? its probably decked out or blocked off.
if its decked out the screws in the back is tightened all the way, if its blocked off there is something preventing movement

mr vanderberg...
will you be collabing with me?

>>127063904
it's brand new, and yes I can move it. But it doesn't do anything.

>>127063918
you can move the bridge but it doesn't change the sound of the strings? am i reading you correctly?

>>127063918
there are tremolo bars and whammy bars anon

>>127063918
then ill be fucked if i know, take a pic of this for me, does it have a gap here? did you change the strings and not account for it?

>>127063933
its called a wigglestick you dunce

>>127063963
dunsel*

>>127063933
aren't they the same thing???
>>127063930
yes, I can move the lever but doesn't change the sound of the strings.

>>127064014
>aren't they the same thing???
i thought they weren't, then i looked it up and the brilliant author of the article called it a semantic quibble, but went on to describe the difference between a tremolo system and a vibration system (or whatever). guess he should stick to music.

>>127064027
or, sorry, the whammy bar is unique to the Stratocaster apparently.

>>127064014
Are you pushing it or spinning it?

>>127064062
it should have a signature sound by default.

>>127064062
spinning it

>>127064014
take the back plate off and see if the springs are on correctly.

>>127063943
mine doesn't have a gap, and not. I didn't change strings or whatever.

uhhhhhh they're gonna make it virtually impossible mr student

>>127064084
>>127064099
you gotta push it down or up anon

>>127064135
really? can I break my guitar if I do it too hard?

>>127064176
nah, go for it

not a doctor btw

>>127064176
strings maybe, guitar no. you'll know how much force is enough.

>>127063895
Yeah but I suck at sight reading and my teacher says to practice it. I dont know what else to practice

>>127062918
Like with anything else it lowers the standard of quality across the board and makes it common place to cheap out and cut corners. Companies like fender meet them halfway like how they’re producing the standard line in Indonesia while charging nearly the same price as their MIM guitars of a year or two back

I'd like to play a bit of hardcore but I can't get a good, clean guitar tone. It sounds muddy and honestly shitty. Any advice to make more defined?

post amp settings

P90 mustang showed up today, almost forgot I ordered it. Feels good but the P90s don’t sound quite as good as the ones in my Noventa JM. The setup and neck feel great though, needed minor intonation tweaking but merely a cunt hair’s worth. We‘ll see, I’ll try it through a few different amps and through my recording setup before I consider upgrading the pickups. It could just be that my JM gives of better sound to the pickups. This is a 2020 Player 90 Stang and the the Noventa JM is 2021 so I would think it would be the same P90s in both, they’re both MIMs. I got this for a steal so I don’t mind investing in some better P90s eventually, still I’ll give it and myself a little while to settle and adapt. Satin neck with glossy maple fretboard is the best… my Strat and this have that combo and it’s lessened my appreciation and tolerance for rosewood.

>>127061840 (OP)
Do you ever get afraid to say something on your normie guitar discords that's too similar to something you said on 4chan? For fear of recognition?

>>127064482
WFH guitar neet is the best, you have plenty of money for gear and guitars but can work right next to your guitars and noodle all day long.

>>127064783
you wanted to say nigger, didn't you?

>>127064750
If you want to upgrade the pickups I love Fralin’s P90s. Between a friend and I we have Fralin, Lollar, three different Gibsons, Yamaha, and whatever P90 is in a Chinese made Rivolta and of them all we both agree the Fralin just kills it. Lollar is a very close second, I’d be happy with either of those; hell even Gibson’s current P90s sound great but of them all Fralin’s P90s are just phenomenal sounding plus he makes a noiseless set which is kind of tempting

People don't talk enough about how fucking good Gibson pickups are

>>127064750
Beautiful finish, the white guard and maple neck complements it well.

>>127064941
they're great. even the sg bass which is without a doubt gibsons most polarizing instrument still sounds the best with stock pickups

>>127062108
For that kind of price I'd save a little more and get one not made by a poopjeet

>>127065223
>$289 shipping
Holy moley

>>127065272
Welcome to island living, whatever savings you get by shopping overseas is instantly negated by shipping costs.

did you guys ever find your sound?

>>127065382
My playing style is uniquely me, but may just translate to 'crappy".
Still working on my tone, I now know which direction I want to go in, it's just a matter of options.

>>127064924
Noted, maybe I’ll use this one as my in to start swapping them myself, that way I can start with say just the bridge and if I really like it then add another Fralin in the neck.

>>127065037
It seemed kinda plain at first but it’s grown on me. I have an older Bullet Stang in the bluer version of this color that I always wished was this shade, now it’s nice to have it and on a significantly nicer version as well. I thought about putting a lone tasteful sticker on this but now I’m thinking no. It does have some belt rash from the previous owner, maybe I’ll cover that if I find a fitting sticker.

>>127065412
Maple neck StangGang

>>127065412
>kinda plain
NTA but I like it too. The JM in that trim looks awesome.

>>127065459
A local shop has an American Pro II Strat in that color with a maple neck and it’d be tempting if I already didn’t have a Pro II Strat

>>127065382
Soon™

>>127065382
Sonically or artistically? I’m getting there sonically but have been there for a long time artistically, I’ll flirt with new influences and techniques but I’m comfortably and unapologetically influenced by 80s and 90s pop/rock music. Tears for Fears, Pixies, RHCP, Kyuss/QOTSA.

>>127065459
That does look nice. I’m usually a Fiesta Red guy, I just need a Jag in Fiesta with a matching headstock and I’ll have one of each in that color aside from a Tele which I’ve been putting off for some reason. My heart sank when the 2025 MIJ Jags were announced in Fiesta Red and Sherwood Green but with no matching headstock version. Might be a good thing though because I’d want one of each

>>127065485
good question because i'm in the same boat. i have $4k to spend on a new rig but im torn between two options. i like both sonically but one is more generic sounding and fits in to a lot more styles and settings but the other is a lot more unique and i think fits better with my personal style and my primary band.

>>127064695
No bully please, I have no idea what I'm doing.
>>127064777
Interesting.

What would sound better, a Fender Frontman 15G or 40€ bluetooth speaker?

>>127065749
the bluetooth speaker probably has a more balanced curve since it needs to display multiple instruments but an amp speaker is always going to sound better

>asked guitar friend when was the last time he picked up his guitar
>over a month ago
>i decide to call it quits on the basement studio sessions
I feel like there's no point in forcing him to play. He doesn't practice so it kinda seems pointless to try and make music when it's not something he enjoys. It really sucks cause now I dont have anything to do with my friends. I could get on discord and game but I'm ALWAYS thinking about practicing and how much better I wanna be at music. I spent so many years gaming and now I have this new hobby im obsessed with. The high I can get from nailing something i spent days working on is amazing. Am I just an asshole? Is it right to be selfish with my time when I'm so new to music that i still stumble over scales?

>>127065749
Fender Frontmans sound like pure ass
https://youtu.be/4lVjKN-noow?si=9pDgg6myb0KoVew9&t=488

>>127065809

Everyone uses a Tele in Tele genres. In Strat genres everyone uses a Strat or Strat copycat (and yeah the SG is included in that)

da ukulele

>>127066801
Why? because it has a double cutaway? literally everything else between a strat and an sg are different. they are not relatable guitars at all.

what an odd era of SP especially that unknown drummer who's practically out of job after he got socked by Billy, glad that Billy is doing much better now although his albums barely sell nowadays

I've been so tempted to cut off one and play in open G. Does it damage it to have the thickest string missing? Keith can afford to fix and replace shit, I can't.

>>127067547
the thickest string actually has one of the lowest tensions on the neck. i'm sure over 30 years it might put a slight twist in the neck

Dave mustrash is a rhythm guitarist and a second class citizen of his own band that he funded cause was treated like a second class citizen in his other band.

lmao what a fucking loser

>>127062001
>Fender pissed him off for some reason, so now he doesn't use them.

Fender are bad instruments but they are even worse when you use a lot of distortion, that dogshit player is playing one note with the distortion knob turned all the way up. Anyways great "player" you got there

>>127067123
jazz isn't my favorite genre but lately i've been finding a lot of impressive guitarists from that genre + fusion
Allan Holdsworth
Frank Gambale
Joe Pass
George Benson
Marty Friedman

for the guitars i'm not sure
Gretsch White Falcon
Gibson Les Paul Studio Deluxe 1998 Wine Red
ESP POTBELLY

>>127067578
I guess that's why it's my list and not your list. I almost put Marty Friedman on the list in his place, but Dave's the one who wrote the riffs that made me pick up guitar in the first place.

Hope you guys are preparing for the inevitable.

Sunburst with white pickguard and rosewood board looks goofy, if it had a maple board it’d look good. Stick with the black pickguard with white covers and knobs

>>127067848
hmm well, if this ends up becoming a forever guitar for me, im still not putting the original white plate back on, then i will wait a few years, find a shit one used, slap my plate with the sticker still on it onto that one and sell it for more than i paid for it
>>127067902
yeah its hard to show in the pictures, but the knobs are aged yellow color and it clashes madly with the bright white pickguard...

Looking at chinese amazon CNC guitars
Can someone convince me not to get an eart strat knockoff or one of their GWs?
A guy in the last thread mentioned them and the reviews all seem to be good, and they seem to be the only cheapo chinese brand that doesn't skimp on electronics and the pickups actually come at normal levels like you'd expect on an original model.

>>127064750
SEXO

>>127067973
Headstock looks goofy

>>127067973
You get what you pay for in terms of chinese slop, at least the Indonesian made guitars keep their value down the line.

>>127067992
That's what I thought but they have bone nuts, zero frets, properly dressed fret ends, full-size pots and all the pups read at about 6k+ which is what you'd expect from alnico V on a strat.
I'm leaning more to the GW for comfort but it looks like an abomination.

>>127067989
i refuse to believe you losers didn't learn to play the instrument in 10 years and now you circlejerk absolute dogshit tier guitars.

>>127068043
Yeah the other guy doesn't know what he's talking about, they hold value just fine. Don't get a headless one though.

Guitar Center Incidents:

Mountain treats every Guitar Center visit like a pilgrimage. But due to his cursed gut, disaster always strikes:

He shows up mid-afternoon, having eaten a Whopper combo (with onion rings and mozzarella sticks) an hour prior.

Strolls in whistling “Jessica” by The Allman Brothers.

Heads straight to the guitar wall, picks up a $2,000 Les Paul Custom, straps it on over his crusty tank top…

Then it hits.

“Oh golly… that’s a Code Tango Alpha…”

“We’re gonna have a lil’ oopsy-daisy here in a minute, buckaroo…”

He attempts to shuffle off to the bathroom with urgency, but mid-waddle, he fumbles. A wet, bubbling sound betrays him.

A liquid squirt escapes—projectile in nature—and arcs onto a PRS Silver Sky and the neck of a Telecaster Deluxe.

His reaction?

He freezes, then says solemnly,

“Sweet baby Ray’s barbecue... I’ve had another breach.”

He grabs a floor display flyer and fans the air, apologizing profusely to the staff.

“I swear on Loretta Lynn's guitar case this don’t happen every time, pal. My sincerest!”

Staff knows him well. They’ve started putting plastic tarps over the high-end guitars when he walks in.
They’ve nicknamed the event “The Great Splatter Solo.”

>>127068200
lmao

Seafoam green looks great but hardly green at all. Other than that is looks pretty good.

>>127063911
i need something to work with, watcha got?

>>127064481
sounds like you're using an amp or amp sim with no IR, like straight outta the preamp.

>>127067973
Earts are awesome, not just for the price but in general. They're good guitars. Stubborn fags don't want to admit that China is actually making good guitars, but I haven't played a single Eart that wasn't better than any guitar you can get in a store for $1k. Their roasted necks are usually super roasted too which is sick. Who cares if they don't "hold their value", they're a few hundred bucks, do these poor retards really see that as an investment?

I agree, good components and a CNC dont magically lose quality just because they're located outside the USA. I welcome these guitars because they help keep the big guys honest.

>>127066504
new one just got announced anon

>>127068423
I gave in and just got a GW in amethyst, no trem bridge one available.
My dinky beloved epi needs a re-nut/refret and setup which is gonna be 300$ in itself, I'm just going to use the GW as my practice.
I REALLY want their strat since it doesn't suck apparently, I hope tariffs don't hit them too soon because it's going to be awhile before I buy one.

didn't happen

The PRC still buzzes. Its intonation is also not quite right. I've demoted it to the status of guinea pig and will now perform inept but well meaning experiments upon it like a reverse version of the guy in human centipede 2. Worst case scenario, I learn how to refret a guitar neck.

you probably beat the crowns out of the frets lol

>>127068531

>>127068862
Pretty sure I did. I really didn't expect the fretwire to be softer than acrylic. I probably should have known better after seeing how soft the screw holding in the truss rod access plate was.

>>127068619
I see 5 string basses the same way I see acoustic guitars, normally there's no reason to play them and they just gather dust in a corner, but when you do need them it's extremely annoying to cope if you don't have them

Any mandolin players in this bitch? For chords where you have to play two sets if strings with a bar, do you use the pad of one finger or bar it with the side of your finger ala bar chords on guitar?

I'm ruthless.

>>127069023
You neanderthal!

>>127069220
Too much pressure on the glue in the nut slot, hanging them like that. At least you don't have a pick stored in the strings. That's a guarantee of nut-sprout, you still have a fighting chance.

>>127069252
Wood glue is stronger than wood, my guy.

>>127069220
I hate the 12th fret inlay

>>127069328
Me too. I don't even know why they did it. I don't think it appears on any other models.

>>127069277
Only when looking at it very simply. What about the flexibility compared to the wood? Not to mention if the glue is not applied properly the bond will not be mechanically sound. I want to attempt making a mold of a firebird from styrofoam and filling it with wood glue. Once hardened I will sand and polish the form. I will then chisel a design of flowers and vines into the entire surface of the guitar, and hand paint them with acrylic markers of light blue, dark green, and red. After that, I will coat the entire surface with epoxy multiple times, letting it dry before applying another layer. And on each dry surface I will make additional sparse details to the surface with white paint. The final dried layer of epoxy will polished as much as possible. And with a small carving kit I will chisel out a fake wood grain on the body. I will lightly sand the whole surface with medium grit and than do the final polishing. Getting the whole outermost surfaces as smooth as possible. A delicate scuff sand is applied. A nitrocellulose finish is sprayed in multiple layers. After drilling and installing hardware and electronics, I put in the frets last. I scallop the fretboard and polish the fretboard until smooth as glass.
