ah yes, do girls also enjoy it when i film myself placing my balls on my guitar?

if two guitars have the same tone should you always get the one that is a better status symbol?

>>127380360
probably yeah

>>127380360
All else being equal (besides price), why not. Go for it.

>>127380360
which two guitars have the same tone?

I’ve got a half dozen middle of the road production guitars ($1000-$2000) and I’m thinking about selling most of them to fund a Custom Shop Tele. I don’t need as many as I have and it’d be nice to go all in on one Tele that’s spec’d out exactly how I like/as close to as I like.

>>127380360
No, you get the better instrument. Today's status symbols are tomorrow's ick.

>>127380390
That's a dangerous game unless you hate all your guitars.

>>127380390
not a bad idea
especially so if you've got the experience to truly know what you want out of your instrument

>>127380404
I don’t hate them, I just don’t play them all. There are definitely more than a few that I enjoy but rarely choose to play over other guitars.

>>127380390
Keep the top two and sell the rest, now you have 3 you'll love

hi /gg/ it's your old pal scotty here again. just a quick reminder that absolutely understanding guitar is a process, it takes time. don't be discouraged that you aren't getting it all at once. just try to work towards it incrementally and take note of your progress along the way. we're all gonna make it, you just need to believe in yourself. if you can't do that then believe in the me, that believes in you

>>127380384
most dreadnoughts. they're within such a small percent of eachother any changes in tone can be achieved by getting another serial number of the same model or just changing the material of the strings. i've been going back and forth on a d28, fg9, and 717e for a month.

>>127380480
thank you scottyposter

>>127380480
Scotty, I want to believe. I'm gonna practice.

remember, structured practice is essential. otherwise you're just.....

>>127380480
Thanks Scotty. I will eat some breakfast then practice for at least 3 hours

>>127380806
Nah fuck that

>>127380831
*nom nom*

still having trouble with the pick, especially when playing metal, gets caught on strings, best way is to play it with the pick vertical but obviously the tone is bad. i just cannot get it right

>>127380885
are you tilting the pick? coming at the strings kinda diagonally?

>>127380909
if you attack the strings with the bigger, flat surface of the side of the pick, you have to push through the string and lift your hand off to actually pluck it. if you're on an angle, the curved side of the pick will more naturally glance across the string. less movement means you can go faster and more precisely

>>127380480
LTTP, but the drawing makes him look like a little Chinese man.
>>127380885
I play Hard Picks and I play slow. I used to play flimsy Nylon picks. I don't know why I changed, but maybe you'll have a good time with those.

>>127380806
Love these gifs

>>127380942
>>127380909
think i perfected it.

hold it like i would a pencil
but hold it very close to the tip, very fucking close, to where i'm almost sometimes feeling the other strings
turn thumb down 20 degrees
bang bang shadang

Hi Deng here, Meck here
Welcome back to another episode of that /gg/ show!

what have you got for us today Meck?

>>127381263
Well Deng, i'm glad you asked. if you take a look over *here* i have what might be the craziest thing we've had in the studio.
This is an Ibanez RG of course but if you look closer, you might just see something a little different than you're used to...

>>127381271
Oh my word Meck, that really is something, hey?
I notice that...it has a few more frets than i'm used to but maaan, look at that cutaway, it's bigger than my wife's boyfriends....lower horn if you catch my drift.

You haven't seen anything yet though Meck, take a look... at *this*

Well Meck, this is a superstrat, of course but you'll notice it has a few extra strings. This Solar guitars A1.8 has 8, yes that's right 8 strings, which i vastly prefer over the standard 6 string relics we've been using for decades. between the huuuge scale length and our favourite, the evertune bridge system, i know my thumping licks are going to be dead on every time.

>>127381321
Wow Deng, that really is......whew. . . the neck i mean....it's so....girthy
I mean just...i've dreamed of such a thick piece of wood in my hands before but....to actually see it in person....whoa....i'm a little hot under the collar here Deng.

fiiiiishman pickups, Meck....

u ok bro

uhhhh uouhhghhh

for me its the reverse v

>>127381072
I played like this for over a decade and am starting to learn how to hold it "properly" now. The pencil grip is only good if you're back in the 80's and want to get rich playing thrash metal and power chords really fast, everything else suffers.

>>127381522
yup thats what i'm playing. any tips when doing strums?

there's like a dozen ways to hold a pencil, that isn't very helpful

>>127381564
More beer helps and loosen your entire arm up, assuming you're now holding it like pic rel

you ever be learning a bunch of theory and technique and lose sight of why you really wanted to learn guitar to begin with? bros i just wanted to play around a campfire

>>127381632
to bad it fucks up every other part of playing the instrument

>>127381632
not with two fingers, was always told to hold like this

in Australia they refer to it as Hungry Jacks

>>127382641
might be lactose intolerant bro. feelsbad for the gc employees that have to clean that up.

So I got my refund for the Bigsby and I'm returning it. The sales engineer recommended to get a cool vibe strato instead because if I actually want to get started moving. I'm gonna wait until Labor Day. I want to use the guitar stock for a year before I do anything. I still want a tele but... I think he's right. I'll probably get a hss. Also, I think I might buy a orange crush rt35 if I can get a good deal on Labor Day. I really don't like the Ibanez practice amp I had, but it was something I had lying around the house.

>>127382857
Why not get a (non bigsby) classic vibe Tele?

well /gg/?

for me, its the Gibson Les Paul

>>127382915
why not tele (but good)?

>>127382954
More comfortable than a normal Tele for sure. But with 250k pots it's not a super accurate JM experience.

here's your guitar back bro

>>127382916
i have a feeling if you click his video you'll know

>>127382934
THATS A WEIRD LOOKING LES PAUL MY GOOD FELLOW

Pure sex with the natty relic

>>127383014
handsome

>>127382915
You know, I just realized... I can technically do both. I just remembered that I have an old squier strat my parents bought me. Problem is my sister's boyfriend at the time broke the whammy bar in the tremolo. I need to see if it's still there. I think he took the tremolo out because he was gonna try to fix it, but never did. That's been like.... over 29 years ago.

I think I'm hesitant of the bridge on a telecaster cause I hear the bridge kind of sucks to rest your hand on. I guess could just figure it out if I end up having an issue.

>>127383014
too hard got something a little bit easier?

>>127382934
is it pregarnt?

Jesus Christ, my typing seems like it's getting worse every day.

>>127382934

for me its the futura V

>>127383089
some of them have shorter screws so the bridge feels better. Not sure if the CV does.

>>127383229
you could always just get replacement saddles, lots of 3rd party stuff out there

This is now a Jaguar thread, the mustang phase is over.
Just kidding, I still love my mustangs, but this Jap Jag is very fucking nice. I was kind of expecting current year MIJ to not be as good as my 2012 MIJ Mustang but it’s as good if not better all around quality wise. The FSR fiesta Jag has an alder body, pure vintage ‘65 American Jaguar pickups and medium jumbo frets. It’s a special run. I was expecting to have to do some setup because the seller shipped it with the neck taken off but action, break angle, and even intonation was just about spot on. I want to put humbuckers in one but I’m kind of torn on which, I just got this deco boom pickguard for the turquoise Vintera Jag and they don’t sell one cut for HBs, it’s pickups are a bit more anemic sounding than the MIJ/FSR. Walnut Mustang anon, you should consider a MIJ Jag man… they are a measurable step above any of the MIMs I have played, I won’t claim they’re better than US made but based on this one they are on par with them at the very least.

>>127381321
>no wanglerbar
not a soupstrat

>>127380390
I’m considering a custom shop Tele as well but I’ll be keeping all of my dozen and a half guitars as I still play all of them pretty regularly. I have a few Squiers that are redundant so I might give those away if I come across someone earnestly looking to pick up guitar. My customs Tele would be a deluxe thinline in fiesta red with matching headstock. I’ve only ever seen one Tele in that color with a matching head made by fender, pretty sure it was MIJ, but it was a standard. The custom would have the ability to split the coils too. I wish there was some way to get a ballpark estimate for something like that. The half assed custom builder page on their website is pretty limited.

>>127382317
Jeez man, this kid is beyond parody. He looks like some parallel universe Elliot Rogers who was molested by his uncle and decided he liked it which in turn solved all his latent mental illness and allowed him to pursue making twee sound effects on the guitar.

>>127383662
Is it even routed for humbuckers? I thought Jag routes were super small.

>>127384168
He’s a self professed satanist and said in an interview that he sold his soul to get famous. Why anyone listens to that retard idk. His music sucks.

>>127382466
Fenders with gold hardware look ugly as shite.

>>127384547
true

>>127384168
He looks and acts like a freshman theatre kid who still huffs his own farts.

I hate this stupid billion pickup choice industry. If people can put two voices and more into a pickup these days. Why can't they invent a pickup that has all the sounds you can imagine loaded? Something that could have a computer in it, transfer preprogrammed presets from the computer and then you have all the flavors you want. Why have to spend so much to have different sounds from the guitars when we have profilers that replicates 99% of accuracy a ton of amps and pedals. And in current day nobody makes the same with pickups. It's ridiculous.

Imagine I want a selection of 20 pickup sounds, I use an extra pot to select from left to right, from single coils all to the right to more hot humbucker style.

That would eliminate a lot of time and money waste.

>>127382916
No more GJs for me thanks.

>>127384641
"Jack of all trades; master of none" is a real thing.

>>127382995
I have a feeling that you won't and you will just feed algorithm instead

>>127384369
No, but I wouldn’t have an issue with routing the Vintera Jag to fit them. It would look weird but I could even do going P90 in the neck and HB for the bridge.

>>127384664
But that's a silly false dilemma. With the technology of today we still rely on having to buy hundreds of $ for each pickup, then solder/plug it and then if you don't like it, swap it again, or if you like two pickups, you need to have two guitars. Adding to the cost.

Why do we have all this crazy digital amp tech thats getting so close to the real thing these years (and packed into more convenient little) but pickup technology is still the same old stuff? It makes no sense.

>>127384641
>i want one switch for each pole piece
You rang?

>>127383662
How can they even fit that many switches into the circuit? For what purpose?

>>127383662
>it’s as good if not better all around
Congrats on the new Jag-yoo-are, Anon. I've got a limited edition MIJ Fender and it is also way above grade. Did you get a shitty thin gigbag with it?

>>127384641
Isn't that basically how the acoustasonic works?

Today is a bad day.
Felt like I made a lot of progress yesterday and the day before.
Today? Feeling worse than a week ago. Can't even play the exercise clean anymore at 90 bpm. Yesterday I easily got it done at 120bpm, without warming up even.
Did I lose the spark? Should I have practiced more yesterday? Is this my punishment?

>>127384695

>>127384695
I’m really hoping that they announce a new line 6 variax pickup set for the helix stadium since it has variax compatibility. One Roland synth style pickup that would allow you to capture and model any set of pickups AND tuning / capo configuration you could dream of. Because you’re right, pickups are 100 year old technology that haven’t changed much at all since the late 70s. If they are smart this will be the next big thing.

>>127384768
Aw, I was hoping it was that strat with the interchangeable personality modules

I have old LTD Horizon guitars with Tune O Matic bridges and I love how bulky they feel in the picking hand for heavy riffing. I bought a made in japan charvel with a gotoh floating bridge (like a floyd rose) and the strings are too low when I pick with my right hand. But all my guitars have 2mm of string in the 12th fret.

Am I crazy or the floating bridges just feel like that or is there something different with ESP/LTD? I just love the feel of those and I want that feel with my Charvel with the floating bridge.

>>127384724
I could do without the strangle switch personally, but the rhythm circuit is a must for me on a traditional style Jag/JM.

>>127384730
I did, better than nothing I suppose but I’ll be getting a proper TSA approved hard case for it eventually. Which one did you get? The Black with bound neck and block inlays and matching headstock was very tempting but I had to go Fiesta to continue rounding out my collection in that color. Speaking of hard cases, I can’t find any specifically for a Mustang, they could probably fit in a Strat hard case but that’s going to trigger my tism.

What foam and where to find it, to use it to mute spring noise in the floyd cavity and strings ringing in the headstock?

Give it straight to me /gg/ bros (again)
$300 for this bad boy, is it worth it?
looking forward to use it for local gigs and even recording, I play dreampop so I use quite a few pedals.

>>127385002
worth noticing (I didn't know) the tubes were replaced for Groove GT-6V6S

https://wildwireguitars.com/kramer-sm-1-h-in-tronius-silver/

https://www.espguitars.com/products/33480-mt-i

someone has some explaining to do

>>127385002
Tube amps in this price bracket almost always suck, they have to cheap out in almost every conceivable way to make them this affordable. You're better off pocketing 100 and getting a katana, or if you don't want to play with distortion there's lots of good loud solid state amps that take pedals well in that price range.

>>127383662
Forego humbuckers in the jag and get some Curtis Novak vintage spec pups. I just got some for my JM and they sound amazing. Little darker and full on the bridge and a bit brighter on the neck.

>>127380244
Link?

>>127380885
get Bog Street picks, totally solves the problem with thick flat picks getting stuck on strings

>>127383662

>>127384988
Sporting goods stores sell foam inserts for hockey and football helmets. Any foam medium-firm would work, but the helmet stuff is pretty durable.

what they should look like

>>127385563
Better sell them now, gramps. The bottom is falling out from beneath the market.

>>127383662
Fuck your faguars

>>127385563
thanks. i ordered the martin d28. it may not sound as good as the fg9 or be as well built as the 717e but at least people will be like "nice guitar" when i play it

>>127385606
Not everyone needs money poorfag. Cool story though.

>>127385606
only two more weeks!

LPs went out of production before, SGs never have. Clearly the people prefer the SG.

>>127385814
They brought back the og les pauls because SGs were super gay.

>>127385814
>people prefer the cheaper option
very insightful

>>127385820
More like super good!

>>127385347
You’re a fucking retard who’s never played a Jaguar, the rhythm circuit is essential and any Jag without one is a meme. You’re the sperg who has the weird pickguard aversion aren’t you? Please anon, show me on this doll where the pickguard touched you

>>127385466
This just looks tryhard..

mosquito bites are itching up

>>127383662
>Walnut Mustang anon, you should consider a MIJ Jag man
Maybe eventually, I’ve toyed with the idea of a Jag for many many years but never bit the bullet. I need more guitars like I need a hole in the head though

You gettin GAS /gg/

>>127385996
yeah but its because I had some pizza

>>127385996
nah i dont know who the artist who inspured it is and i never had a tascam so whatever
cool enough i guess.
was hoping for something cooler when they started teasing the new pedal drop.

>>127386017
Make a vocaroo of it

>>127384960
I got an offset Tele, not a Jag. Everything about it feels better than my other 2 MIJs. The gigbags suck from Fender Japan, so I got a Gator mid-range gigbag. They make a Jaguar-specific hardcase that looks like it fits like a daisy, too.
https://gatorco.com/product/jaguar-style-guitar-case-gw-jag/

>>127384724
Neck pickup on/off
Bridge pickup on/off
Strangle switch (high pass, don’t need it but cool to have)
Rhythm circuit on/off (every Jag should be routed for one, if you don’t need it the switch is far out of the way)

Daily reminder tube amps are for superstitious rednecks.

>>127385901
That buzzstop is coming right off like a Tele's ashtray, but the rest is an upgrade.

Just accidentally sliced open my index finger on my fretting hand
What exactly can I do while I wait for it to heal??

>>127387164
Ouch. You could still do power chords and bends though.

Yeah I'm thinking based

>>127387240
First mistake was shopping at Music Meme

>>127387321
not everyone wants a stack of copestangs collecting dust, friendo

>>127387335
True, try a Tele or LP then

>>127387349
Bantz aside I already own both, 2 of the latter. I wanted something different and really enjoyed how these play.

Is a telecaster still a telecaster if it has a forearm contour and a belly cut? I could care less about the belly cut but I hate the feeling of my arm on the right angle of the body.

>>127387446
those don't change the tone so yes. if anything a humbucker tele isn't a tele

>>127387016
When I was a beginner I couldn't tell the difference either
You'll get there sport

>>127387446
not really, if you're a wimp about the forearm contour you're not really telecaster material. can you not play an acoustic guitar? If you're gonna be a pussy just buy a strandberg

>>127387446
just wear an armband if you're getting filtered by a tele

>>127387164
scales, without using that finger.

Good evening, bros.

>Always wondered about dicks

>>127385632
The FG9 is based on the D-28. The student cannot surpass the master. But it is a bargain. And Martin has been making better stuff than they ever have. At least since 2018 or so when they "remastered" these old models back to pre-War specs.

The Luxe are AV models with some Ultra appointments. Only the HSS has a hum afaik, but those still have AV single coils too. Also a nitro finish.
I suppose the rest is similar, more or less. Roasted neck here vs a quartersawn and SS frets.

>STILL no US made Jaguars other than the Johnny Marr signature and Custom Shop

>>127387446
Those don’t bother me, but the heel/neck joint contour does. It look’s blasphemous and the asymmetrical screw placement really bothers me more than it should. I guess if you’re some Yngvie weedle ass shredmaster I could see it being useful, but for anyone who primarily plays between frets 1-17 it’s purely aesthetic.

>>127388263
lol

>>127388413
>$3k for a fender
fucking WEW

>>127388724
Yes, but you see it has a lot of adjectives in the name, that must mean its really good

>>127388744
It's just an Ultra with Nitro, basically.
Which is cool. But not $3k cool.

The truth
All guitars sound like guitars.

>>127388755
Some guitars of the exact make and model and year and every part down to a T can still vary.

>>127388763
Every variance still sounds like a guitar.

>can't you hear the brightness?

>dude you dont get it hollow bodies sound WARM

>>127388807
We get it, you're a beginner

>>127388828
no i'm an advanced guitarist, I've played more guitars than you've played notes. after playing all those guitars what i realized it isn't the sound its the feel. What a guitar feels like to a player influences how the player plays thus changing the sound. The guitar didn't directly affect the sound, the player did, the guitar affects the player, theres a distinct difference.

Cranking a Plexi necessitates turning down the bass most of the time. Probably not even having trouble high to begin with. Presence is your friend. I don't know why it works out like that.

>>127388858
treble*

>>127388845
Son I've been playing for 35 years. I've actually played in bands. I've owned many guitars. I know what frequency response is, I know what pot nominal resistence is.
There are differences in tonality and timbre that you cannot compensate for with tone knobs.
You can get pretty damned close with a parametric EQ though.

It's Japanese.

>>127388879
There is not, you have yourself convinced there is. Put it against a spectral analyzer and apologize. Even if there is its such a small change that the audience would never notice. Thats what the music is for right? The audience. So if they can't tell the difference what does it matter?
John Mayer could do an entire set on a beat up first act acoustic and the only one who would give a shit is other guitar nerds who aren't there to listen just to judge.

Mine has skin flakes under the strings

>>127388897
Yeah, but back in the day, Japanese weren't so confident in Japanese brand names. They had no idea how loved they are. So that's why they came up with stuff like Ibanez or Roland.
That's what I heard anyway.

>>127388904
>Put it against a spectral analyzer and apologize.
You first, tone knobs only affect high and low pass.
You don't know what you're talking about and I can tell who I'm talking to and I'm not engaging you further. One of these days you should really take the time to learn this stuff though.

Whats so funny about that? You'll get there some day when you actually get around to practicing.

Just a quick jam I did a while back. Changed this Strat to 2 pickups and 4 way switch. That series wiring bridge/neck is amazing

Tone knobs don't work on a high or low pass, it's not an envelope filter. Pots just don't work as well as you say though, they are imperfect compare to a proper EQ.
Like, if you said you could EQ your way around hollow bodies and solid bodies I'd have agreed but tone knobs just aren't that perfect.

Hating Fender is silly, unless you're a living in a hole. At least 50% of recorded music has a Fender on it....across multiple genres.

nta but i dont think you know the difference between tone and timbre

>>127388680
I’m telling you mane, corona fenders are MIMs at this point, I’ve been pulling guitars off the wall for many moons and the MIMs have gotten better and the USA fenders have gotten slightly worse. Get yourself a nice MIJ, those little bastards pride themselves on craftsmanship and offer exactly the models and features that Fender USA is too cheap or lazy to. I will say I haven’t played quite as many MIJs, but the 2025 FSR Jag I just got is noticeably nicer than the older M/CIJs I’ve played or own. At least watch some videos on them, the quality and craftsmanship is there and there are limited runs with stuff like alder bodies and pure vintage pickups, different neck shapes etc.

>>127388988
That's exactly why I used Fender as the answer to the second question, yes.

>>127389035
I do, I'll bet you can't pronounce timbre correctly without googling it.

>>127389026
Have you ever talked to any famous people?

>>127388891

You should try it

If that's your bar to feel superior over someone I feel really sorry for you. Tough about that IQ, maybe God gave you a pretty face?

I fucking HATE Chapell Roan but I can't deny her music is okay.

>>127388944
I’ve been thinking about doing something like that with one of my Strats, just getting rid of the middle pickup and wiring it bridge, both series, both parallel, neck and maybe a push pull pot for in and out of phase.

What do you think is the mark of a good guitar player?
Being able to make music or being able to play guitar really well? Because I don't see them as the same but they aren't mutually exclusive either.

>>127389058
So I was right then.

>>127389077
being able to make music
technical skill is just a tool but its not the only tool

>>127389037
What does a Jag do that a Strat, Tele, Jazzmaster, or Mustang can’t do?

>>127389077
for me its how well you can shitpost in /gg/

>>127389083
Not at all, I just had no way to reasonably prove it and wanted to make fun of you for being a retard instead.
Mission accomplished, fuck off geek stop begging for my attention

>>127389077
Being able to jam with others with zero or minimal input from them. Same goes for other instruments. I dont care if all you can do is play power chords or if you're the second coming of Jason Becker, there's a real talent in being able to slide into the pocket with complete strangers and its the hallmark of a good musician imo

>>127389104
lots of gum flapping for someone who can't pronounce timbre.

>>127389092
lets everyone know you're a bottom

>>127389109
This is why I don't like Clapton haters. He seems like a guy who can jump in anywhere and do something cool.

>>127389069
I modded a Squier Tele with a 4 way switch to get the series wiring and loved it. Thought fuck it and let's do it to my Strat. Especially since I don't really like the 2,3,4 positions. My buddy hates the speed knobs though

>>127389052
I met Les Claypool and Larry LaLonde backstage after their show in chicago. Cool fellas

Agreed. Its fine if his music doesn't suit your taste but calling his ability into question is cope.

Tim plays with far more feeling and grace.
This guy just cavemans through it, no subtlety, no taste.

That's pretty much it. Throw in some theory and understanding of how scales and chords work and people think you're a genius.

>>127389250
>>127389109
Is there a way to learn how to jam with others?

>>127389304
Just go and do it. Go to live shows, talk to local musicians after their set, see if they'd be down to get together and riff. Eventually you'll build a network of people you're familiar and comfortable with. Dudes that are about it are always looking to play, and the more you do it the better you'll get at it. I strongly encourage you to ignore any hangups or anxiety you may potentially have around it. Just go into it seeking to have fun because that's the whole point anyway.

You obviously desperately need to believe that, so I'll leave you to more deflecting as to why you don't know what a tone knob does.
Sad.

>>127389409
I've heard some musicians are assholes and will rail on you even if you've never done it before

>>127389536
Just be upfront about your skill and experience level to temper expectations, but at the same time people have made careers off playing 4 power chords. Focus on keeping it simple and you can look back and laugh about how, "I can't believe I spent 2 hours playing the same pentatonic pattern over and over in different intervals and it just fucking worked". Just be lighthearted and keep it fun. If I could give you one piece of advice it would be to just listen to various types of music and focus on how the bass player and drummer fill out the rhythm section as a cohesive unit. Once you get a feel for that you'll realize that guitar players have been the sprinkles on top of the cake all along, everyone else is doing the heavy lifting, and we can basically do whatever we want as long as we sit on the foundation of the rhythm itself. Also, just avoid assholes in general.

ni/gg/a i'm happier than pharrell

just replaced all the carpet in my living room with vinyl planks, what effect will this have on my tone?

>>127389819
you might legitimately notice more high end sparkle and a looser low end.

>>127382915
I would get a cv 50s tele in a heartbeat but I already have a guitar with a neck mini humbucker and reg slant humbucker (with a backplate) that coil taps.
If I see one at a pawn shop it's an insta-buy though.
I was going to get a barely used cv 70s strat from a guy for abt 280$ but for 260 I can get an e-art strat copy with a damn fine neck/fret job and minimal electronics work needed (Silver sky SE is still better)

>>127390338
Pretty hard --->impossible to do yourself. I'd take it to a tech.

"Whoa". This massive lad said, with a voice as clear as a marble bell. The air felt like a mix of dread and melancholy. It was a local battle of the bands. Most of the band had young ,18 to 20's aged members. Some cool stuff. But as the next band came on something was different. They all looked like either crypt keepers, or scalp hunters. And they were not in costume. They were much older than the other bands. The piano player was blind and was an elderly Jamaican man. The harmonica/player was this creole blues man. Smooth as grease. The drummer was a drum machine that they didn't seem to pay attention too until they did. The lights dimmed and the fog machine cloaked the stage. When it cleared a hulking brute stood. He subjected the audience to a 15 minute pregnant pause. He tilted his head and spoke into the ribbon microphone. "Are there any goobers in the audience? Get em up against the wall. We're about to do pigs on the wing. But I got something to say. I used to be into burritos. But now I'm into triple cheeseburgers. It's way more heavy". .You could here nothing but the crickets in the summer dusk. The audience transfixed, in another realm. The band lurched into a near identical sounding version of Toxic by Britney Spears, morphing into Blue in Green by Miles Davis. They won that battle of the bands. And they changed my life. Wish I could remember the name of em.

Sounds like GG&TSB. They often do runs through the Gulf coast doing gigs. Seen them a few times at county Fair type events. They're very greasy.

>>127390397
these separate the shit planks from the real instruments

Ok so are you guys memeing or is Gary Greaser and the Shack Boyz a real band or not? I don't go to local live gigs or fairs because of my extreme agoraphobia. I have a surrogate who wears a body cam and receives my movement instruction via ear bud. Kind of how Captain Picard commands the pilot of the enterprise. You just put a craigslist ad and offer some fair pay, and people will do it and probably enjoy it. I like to follow the surrogate in my quad drone and have one lens of my VR headset the surrogates body cam, and the other the drones camera. I can close either eye to change the view. Or watch them both at the same time and see if your brain can separate them.

>>127390558
Sounds pretty far out, my guy. But all I need is a cool buzz some tasty waves and I'm fine.

Also this. Maybe if one comes up 2nd hand (UK)

Alright- so I’m looking to get a cheap strat with humbuckers. Like 3-$400 cheap. I’m thinking MIM, but if you guys have any better ideas, hit me.

I can't stop buying pedals

how do you create convincing feedback without, you know, standing in front of the amp?

You aren't gonna find a good MIM at 300-400, somethings gotta be wrong

Jags and JMs have the widest range of tones out of any Fender guitar, the brightest, iciest highs and the warmest, fattest low ends. Also both have the best trem system that’s ever been put on a guitar. You cannot get the sound of a Jag or JM on a Strat or Tele, or vice versa for that matter.

>>127390790
It’ll probably be closer to five hundred, but look for a pre 2010 MIM Standard Strat. 6 screw trem, really nice feeling neck, solid pickups. I got this one in 04 and it’s my most beat up and neglected guitar by far, took a huge fall off a skateboard one day on the way to practice but it still feels and sounds great. I regretted the paint job for a long time but it’s grown on me over the years. I painted it in a blackout after taking the Heath Ledger challenge back in the bad old days. I’d say find one now before they get even more expensive, they’re your best bet if you’re looking for the best bang for buck on a fender Strat. I still see them at GC in the used section pretty regularly, just use the serial number and look for anything 08 and prior.
