hi /gg/ it's your ol pal scotty here. hope you're doing well. i know you may not absolutely understand guitar just yet but i'm here to remind you that learning takes time. i can see you're working hard and i can also tell that the effort is paying off. each day you're getting a little bit faster, more precise and i just want you to know that i'm proud of you. you put your mind to something and achieved some success. you keep at it and i'll check in with you in the next thread.

>>127282879
i don't get it. he keeps posting radically different guitars and talking about them all being for the same buyer

>>127282888

For me, it's the contemporary line. It has the appointments the modern player is looking for, while still keeping timeless aspects like the maple neck.

hello and welcome back to that "/gg/ thread"

Dang here, Meck here.

today we're talking about the wide world of super strats. what are they? what were the original guitars that we now look back on as super strat-like and what exactly separates a regular stratocaster from a super one

>>127283754
yellow makes it drive sideways

well Meck, here in my hands is a beautiful example of a classic super strat

this is of course the Agile Guitars Pendulum 10 model. it has, as the name suggests 10 strings. WHOA. that's at least 2 more than i'm used to using.

Now, this model is widely regarded as the original super strat from way back in 2012. Before then, no one had ever considered adding to the original design of the Fender Stratocaster. indeed it had stayed exactly the same for over 60 years. Agile, using their design philosophy of "Play Authentic" decided that they would add not only extra strings but, heh get this, twin-coil pickups which they patented early in 2009 while designing this guitar. they called them Bum-huggers after Qi Juang in the factory who came up with the concept in late 2008. of course Qi was hung the following month after it was discovered that he hadn't had permission to try new things, as is tradition in the CCP.

To make a long story short, i estimate that this guitar has at lease 3 more toan than anything that came before it. a true trendsetter in the industry.

And what do you have over on your lap Meck?...

>>127283822
That is one BEAST of a guitar Deng, more than i could handle for sure.

Anyway, what i have for you today is known as the second super strat ever released, just at the start of this year. this is the Strandberg and Jacob Collier collaboration of their Boden model.

As you can see, strandberg have actually removed a string from this guitar, now there is only 5 of them.

Jacob, widely regarded as one of the great minimalist composers of our time has taken the idea of "less is more" that he utilizes in all of his grammy-winning recordings and applied that to the world of guitar design.

As you can see, there's no headstock, no tremolo system and in fact no tuners. this guitar is in tune from the factory, as per collier's directions. what it does however share with the Agile guitar are those Bum-hugger pickups you mentioned.

Jacob is famously a big fan of hugging the bum out of his tone, heh, and i must say, this strat is truly super in every sense of the word.

>>127283883
well, thanks for inviting me on to the show guys. I hope these guitars aren't TOO super for you haha.

I'd like to remind the audience that these two guitars Deng and Meck have are the ONLY super strats that have been released so far. Maybe there are other luthiers out there with their own funny ideas about improving ancient designs but we've yet to see any of them try.

less tight as in, easier to pull or push on?
lower spring tension and lighter strings, so there's just less tension going on overall i guess

That tone is just like the 5150 in EVH, shredding is just about distortion, wet reverb and delay added on top with a tiny bit of scooped mid while blasting the volume high.

for the anon that requested phil mcknight...happy gooning i guess

need it or keep it?

With the neural interface or whatever the fuck how do you jam with others, like how do you make sound come out of it?

>>127284337
Neural amp modeler?
head to the audio settings / output and set it to your speakers or headphones.

you might need to head to your audio devices in control panel and untick the "give applications exclusive control of this device" to your particular output device

Anyone tried the Valeton GP-5? Is it good enough for me to sell the pod express

That's pretty kickass but it's a Washburn and I'm conditioned to not like them.

>>127283199
I have the VHS box set. Only one of them is open because I'm lazy, but it seemed pretty decent. I really like this one exercise I hadn't really seen anywhere else except recently Steve Vai did a version of it in his TrueFire course. Bet I'd have had more gains earlier if I had stuck with it. What really want though is that video he did with MAB where they teach "No Boundaries" step by step. Had some pretty decent gains from that one. Doug seems to do an alright job policing YouTube to keep his content off of there.

I almost bought a JM like in OP but I wanted to complete my fiesta red collection first.

On one hand he personifies the entirety of the bad rep that offsets have, on the other he’s an earnest guy with lots of useful information on that style of guitar. As much as I want to hate on the guy, he’s never injected politics or his opinions outside of offset guitars from what I’ve seen of him. Hard not to judge a book by it’s cover though.

I'm still playing that faguar

Question for people who has used EMG and Fishman pickups. Is the noise floor comparable between the two? I have EMG and a bunch of passive pickups and I get excessive static noise from the passives. Ithink, because of there's water caves below everywhere in my city it's hard to find a grounded place so I think I'm stuck with actives.

Anyone knows how good are Fishman's compared to active EMGs on this? How about passive mode and single coil mode on Fishman Fluence Modern are they as noisy as real passives?

It feels wrong have two amps. How do you cope with it?
Feel like giving one to charity.

>>127286243
EMGs have balanced outputs between shit so technically they are better
fishmans are noiseless if you ground the bridge though.
using single-coil mode will do just that, use single coil mode and will give you nosie unless you wire them up to run a single coil on each pickup
i use both fishmans and emgs so ask if there is something else

>>127283122
Like 4-6 months. I go to shows every weekend and im convinced most of these guys picked up the guitar earlier in the year. Which isn't to discourage anyone, thats exactly what you should be doing, playing shows and improving. People have made careers off 4 power chords the goal is to have fun and be fulfilled. Stop worrying about it.

>>127286937
>fishmans are noiseless if you ground the bridge though.
but I thought al guitars should have the bridge grounded?

>>127286952
I've been playing for decades and haven't improved since first learning Johnny B Goode. Tbh.

>>127286243
>>127286937
this configuration for example will give you no noise, yet you will use single coil on both, they cancel hum
>>127286970
mostly yeah, but EMGs use a balanced signal, which is inherently noise-canceling

>>127286885
>How do you cope with it
by running a wet dry rig

>>127286991
>mostly yeah, but EMGs use a balanced signal, which is inherently noise-canceling
so you dont need to ground the bridge on EMGs**

>>127286986
Yeah ive been playing for around 23yrs and will plateau if I don't sit down and learn new things with regularity. It helps to keep the creativity sparked and its just fun after you realize that everything you avoided learning you already picked up from playing for so long, you're just missing a piece here or there to connect it all together. I've had some absolutely mind blowing realizations that are elementary at best in the grand scheme of things. Never quit being a student.

>>127287065
put xr on applesauce if you're in a hurry

>>127287082
he'll yeah

>>127286991
Ah thanks. When you say "no noise" you mean similar levels like EMG right? I mean there is noise on them in my home but minimal. I understand there's always a small noise floor even on well grounded outlets.

>>127287155
yeah if you wire them up the right way, and avoid using single coil mode in one pickup only.
the emg dual voice pickups has the same problem(the ones with single coil mode).

thats just the way the cookie clicks

anyways, all the shit i wrote is just a roundabout way of saying, if you are very bothered with noise, and do not want to solder, just get the EMGs, they are tard-proof, shit works great in basses too.
to the point i can sit in front of my very noisy computer and play without hum or noise.
i much prefer fishman pickups but they are a hassle to wire up + more expensive. great if you want to go above and beyond though.

Private lessons for a beginner who wants to shred and play fusion eventually, y/n? or should I just go for a year or two as self taught and then go for private lessons when hitting a plateau?

>>127287181
I think YouTube and the slowing down feature of the player is much better shred teacher you're ever gonna get by paying someone to teach you some licks

What’s the cheapest Strat style guitar I can get that’s actually not junk with a light maple neck like this?
Guy on marketplace has this custom Squire he made into a replica MIJ fender for around $200. I love it, but I’ve heard mixed stuff on Squires.

>>127287583
Sorry- wrong picture.
I wouldn’t mind making it a little side project to repaint btw if it’s a different color,

>>127287583
if you need a good but cheap strat, find a MIM. old squiers were decent quality, but anything post funi gen is shit.

>>127287607
Thanks anon.

>>127287180
What do you prefer about the Fishmans? Usually what I get from the active voicing is that it is modeled after the EMGs but I still prefer the sound of EMG 81.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6tD5AWUHFG8

https://youtu.be/BpudhuzqOX0?t=397

I feel it's true but the Fishman has too many mids where the EMG has the right amoung of mids

>>127287181
>should I just go for a year or two as self taught and then go for private lessons when hitting a plateau?
This. The other anon is spot on with YouTube. Private lessons can be very valuable but more so when they're specialized and tailored to a specific goal. Otherwise youll end up playing cowboy chords for 3 months. Which isnt the end of the world, it just doesnt sound like what you are after.

holy shit, you guys tuning in for this one?

>>127288139
>crustache

style check, need it or keep it?

>>127287599
maybe just shop around for used mim or partscasters.
realistically, if you're handy with setups, you could slap a mij or usa neck on to any old strat body and set it up to play like a pretty solid guitar

I mean fingerless is more or less self explanatory as long as there isn't a ton of barring.
fingered gloves make no sense to me. maybe could get it to work on bass, but nothing short of latex gloves seems like it would work on guitar

>>127289313
Looks like a homeless bathroom scale suffering from untreated metastatic bone cancer

>>127289370
Bonsai isn't trash. It has most iterations of the TS and an even OD1.
You can just say the SD1 is awesome in itself and yeah, you save money...but not be a spastic about it.

>>127289337
some people have to play with gloves. focal dystonia or a metal allergy. with correct technique all you're doing is pushing the string down over the fret so it's now however long it is from that fret to the bridge. outside of very specific techniques what you do behind the fret doesn't matter

>>127289459
even an OD1*

>>127289462
if the glove doesn't fit absolutely perfectly, you're going to mute the string as the excess material will go over the fret, especially when playing playing on the high end of the neck.

does anyone know exactly what jim croce is doing where he moves his bar chords down in his shuffle songs? some people play it as a major 4 chord on the A string but it looks like he's just rolling his ring finger and barring a 5 chord. i can't get it to sound the same though

>>127289604
nevermind i figured it out

>>127282857 (OP)
why do relatively few guitars come with p90s? it's clear to me that they're the best and most neutral-sounding pickups. I really dislike HBs, Strat and JM pickups.

I'm not 'new' to guitar... but now that I'm retired, I have a lot more time to get better. I like to keep things simple... my goal is to get the most music out of the least gear. Are there any youtube channels or lessons websites for a regular guy like me? pic not related, my favorite player Jeff Skunk Baxter

>>127285495
unless you delete the vocaroo, coward.

>>127289855
uh there's one i think, twat world? hipfire or something. sorry man im struggling here

Someone said something mean on the internet and I don't like it.

these threads are so kafkaesque.

i think i fucked up leveling my frets

>>127290079
People apprentice for years to become a luthier
You thought you could wing it

>>127290133
all the youtubers said it was ever to file high frets, but i file one and then i have to file the two next to it and i have to keep going back and forth

gain-level-bass-treble, the more I look for these in a overdrive pedal that sounds nice to my ears the harder it becomes

>come home on my lunch break
>play my mustang instead
ngl bros i genuinely love this guitar

Nobody gets to the highest echelons by doing everything. You need to specialize and bring in other people. If you want to be a great guitar player you have to play guitar, not fix guitar, not worry about sound mixing, you play the guitar, maybe you write the music too but thats it. All that time and energy spent elsewhere should've been put into playing guitar, because if you aren't someone else is.

>>127290153
I blame this whole board for giving stupid advice
Filing your own frets is not a job you're supposed to do, its a job for a luthier

>>127290218
well i don't think it takes much practice to work on your instrument outside of doing invasive repairs like neck resets but yes you really need to specialize into only a few things in guitar. many of the great players have said so themselves. tommy emmanuel said if you want to be a great finger style player you can't play much else. i think tony rice said the same thing for flatpicking. the more advanced you become physically whether that is weightlifting or dexterous techniques like guitar playing, the slower it is to progress and the quicker you lose progress when not practicing

>>127290153
you're removing too much material. need to check your progress intermittently. unless you just have a really shitty guitar

>>127290153
This doesn't even make sense. lmao, stay away from the fretboard dude you and logic don't have a good relationship.

>watch youtube videos on how to change machine heads
>try it
>notice some machine heads are taller than others
>turns out order of the machine head matters
why the FUCK DOES NO ONE SAY THAT IN THE VIDEOS

Just bought my 15th PRS

ive tried a lot of hobbies and guitar heads are UNBELIEVABLY bad at giving advice compared to ANY other hobby holy fuck they just constantly withhold extremely important information for no reason it is absurd.

>>127290411

thankfully i managed to retard my way and ended up doing it the right way accidentally the first time. holy fuck though.

You're the reason coffee says "Caution! HOT!"

>>127290451
coffee being hot is common sense
machine heads having different heights is not
fucker
stupid little fucker

>>127290153
You don't file them individually.
You have to file them all at once with a leveling beam.

Today while playing I came to the realization that people with money are always buying gear and its more exciting to play when you have a nice selection of amps and guitars so you are always playing the best players have $$$$$

>>127290362
I'll sue you

On a second look it seems my guitar is beyond repair (I posted about it yesterday).

I'm broke. No job. Guitar audio jack not functioning, neither does the audio cable. Still good to practice I guess.

>>127290618
just break into someone's house and steal their guitar. It's as easy as figuring out who has a nice guitar and just waiting for them to leave, breaking a window, entering the home and taking their guitar. You can also take jewelry, electronics, all kinds of shit. You aren't working, what is stopping you? A fucking RACCOON could figure this out but they aren't strong enough to break windows

>>127290590
I don’t need to bother with that as long as I’m channeling the energy from the appropriate crystal.

>>127290618
If your audio cable isn't working, how do you know the jack is bad?
I think you're just bad at troubleshooting.

>>127290637
You must be really funny at parties

>>127290637
Fuck you man, you are subhuman if you do this and IRS needs to bust your balls for that. Guitars aren't just instruments to their owners, at least do the right thing and work at a music store or something or get yourself an audio engineering degree or what have you and work that way in the music side of things.

>>127290683
NTA you can plug the cable into your amp and touch it if it goes BUZZ When you touch it it works

>>127290683
Ok, the audio jack works but you have have to move the cable in odd ways applying pressure on the right side. The cable makes false electric contact too if you don't fold the cable in half (it's 3 meters long)

i love the emg 81,reason why i prefer fishmans is just how clear they are.
they get even better when single coil mode/voice3'ing them.
you also got a lot more room to work with when it comes to dynamics vs emg, as in how hard you pick. the emgs are more compressed in their sound, but honestly?
throw them both in a mix and i probably wouldnt be able to tell.
you can also do all kinds of funky setups with the fishmans, inner/outer coils on both pickups, extended top end + voice 3 and all that.
their customer support will literally also make you a diagram for custom setups if you email them some esoteric shit.

we are 4 turtles down into the rabbit hole, sniffing wine corks and pondering the aroma, ya feel?

>>127283813
Does this kind of exercise aid anyone? It's the most basic thing.

>>127290819
Nice price. Got to buy one. The amps simulators are cool too. The ones shaped as amp heads and can play music.

What are some reverse offset body guitars? The only ones I can think of are things like Gibson Firebird and Explorer style bodies and the Squier Super-Sonic.

>>127290898
Talking about these bad boys

These things are an insane gimmick, just spend the extra $50 and get a mini amp

I randomly was looking at 18 and life, found out my dog has cancer. My fucking eyes bros. I'm loosing it. Don't even know why I'm posting.

Just got back from bk... Got three triple whoopers and a vanilla shake. Feeling fueled up and ready to rock, bros. Gotta eat bi/gg/ to play bi/gg/. Was at the gym doing curls and rows earlier. Also set a pr (personal record) in the ohp (overhead press), did a rep of 410lbs. Feeling juiced up and on the edge, like a trophy buck ready to rut. The viens on my arms are bulging out a quarter inch. I'm a destroyer. I'm a warrior.

It's like 90% of my string failures, only rarely does a string pop on the stand.

Out of curiosity- I’ve got a 2001 RG570.
It’s got little chips on here and there. Some fret buzz on the 1st fret or 2 I can’t seem to get rid of. That’s the big thing.
How much should I be asking for on marketplace?
