Wtf do all these buttons do?

>>127428881
You can't adjust the pickups?

>>127428881
>buttons
well there are zero in the picture, so no idea what you're referring to

>>127428818 (OP)
finally, an interesting guitar in the op

>>127426778 #
The offset sub, while full of queefs and queers, has some good leads on places for good hardware and pickguards etc. I found this one there and it’s my favorite pickguard out of all my guitars.

>>127428901
The switches and knobs. I'm a layman and these scare me.

kinda want a rickenbacker bros

>jag and mustang posters are redditors
Absolutely shocking

>>127428999
Rickenbackers are 3500 dollars you ready to cough up the dough big guy?

>>127428818 (OP)
How much of theory do you honestly know?

Tell me.

I've been looking at 10 year old axe-fx2s on eBay. Looks like Fx2 was the first to get Axe Edit. They go for around $800-$1,200. So tempted

>>127429002
Nah I’ve never once gone to reddit, been stuck on this Chinese cartoon website for almost 20 years
>>127429020
Wouldn’t be my first $3k+ guitar
>>127429025
smoke on the water, iron man, crazy train, etc is all I need

Saw this on the webs today, my kinda Mustang if I had to get one.

>>127428999
Me too. I’d probably go with a 360 or 330 in black.

>>127428999
Biggest mistake of my life was trading away my Elite Casino for a Rick 370. The nut width is too small for me. Play one first.

>>127429046
That's a MIA FSR?

>>127429046
That pickup spacing is fucking atrocious

>>127429002
stop noticing

>>127429046
is there a body color that red tortoiseshell pickguards DON'T look good on?

I used to be a pedalphile but I've learned to appreciate a huge rack.

>>127429067
From what I’ve read they’re not that much smaller than vintage Fender nut widths, Ricks being half a millimeter smaller. That would be really cramped with a 12 string but I’m more leaning toward a 6 string if I were to really begin the hunt
>>127429067
Before committing to buying one I’d like to drive to some shops 1-2 hours away just to check one out in person

>>127429080
Yep, also comes in this nice white.
>>127429092
What's wrong with it?

My Japanese girlfriend's grand dad was the head of the painting department at Fender Japan and he told her that their Fiesta Red is just normal red mixed with leftover semen from japanese bukakke movies

I forgot its still summer.

>>127429128
Spacing was the wrong word, I didn't mean the strings relation to the pole pieces, I meant their location on the body of the guitar in relation to the neck and bridge. You could drive a truck between the neck and the neck pup.

>>127426732
The most atrocious part is the maple fingerboard tbdesu.

>>127429172
Woah maple boards are class.

>>127429229
I like maple on a tele and strat but all other fender guitars and basses need rosewood

>>127428722
I fucking KNEW the strings had a smell. I might actually change my bass strings. Sometimes it smells like ass when I'm playing and I never knew why. I'm going to do the sniff test

>>127428818 (OP)
Someone said they'd post the booklet pdf for this last thread but how much do I miss out without it? Did you print it out?

>>127429262
To make sure it’s time to change strings you need to sniff your strings and an actual butthole side by side. If you don’t have an actual butthole nearby to sniff you can substitute it by putting your fingers in your butthole and smelling those, but DO NOT touch your guitar with those fingers without washing them because it decreases your toan

>>127429025
is rhythm really theory? i know an intermediate to advanced level of all these things

>>127428818 (OP)

Good thread (no homo)

>>127429025
Does rhythm just means being able to play at different bpms? I just know songs so I'm not sure what my skill level would be.

>>127429287
don't study fucking theory. you know how to hum or sing a tune that you hear? learn to do that on guitar by fucking around

>>127429158
As someome with big fingers, this seems like a plus.

>>127429287
how many strumming patterns do you know?
how many can you maintain for 5 minutes?
how many overlap patterns do you know?

>>127429098
Surf green

>>127428818 (OP)
After the Tele Leo went "I understand it now" and made increasingly complicated guitars.
(I don’t know if he made this design in particular but you get it)

>>127429321
The only strumming patterns anyone needs to know are DDDDDDDD and D-DU-UDU

>>127429312
Nah bro.

>>127429262
looks like a puisheen guitar!

>>127429025
All of that and some extra stuff. Some of it I never use, the rest of it I've just internalized at this point and built into subconscious behaviour.

>>127429341
And this one: https://youtu.be/Qcy07OvWdl0?list=RDQcy07OvWdl0

>>127429338
Funny because his guitars with Music Man and G&L got even more increasingly more complicated, at at some show a well known country player asked him why doesn’t he just make something simple like the Tele again and it really pissed Leo off, but he went and made the ASAT which IMO is G&Ls best guitar and was a return to tradition of simple Fender designed guitars.

>>127429287
Sure it is. Not everybody can distinguish a 6/8 from a 4/4 slower tempo beat. You can?
>>127429312
No. Definitely not. It means bpm, beat, notes, bars and time signatures.

>>127429366
I almost bought an ASAT but those pickups sound like ass compared to regular Tele pickups.

cringe all of you

>>127429172
the maple board is the only redeeming quality

Maple fucks.

>>127429229
>>127429242
My fingertips hate the feel of rosewood, love the feel and look of maple. I could never buy a strat or tele that wasnt maple

indian laurel > pao ferro > maple > rosewood

>>127429321
>strumming patterns
i read sheet music on bass. strumming patterns are kind of beginner compared to tied, syncopated 16th notes and quarter note triplets
>>127429372
1st and 4th notes are usually accented but you could also listen just listen for the changes or the drums

>>127429451
what you feel are the strings and frets. I don't think i could tell the difference unless i went out of the way to rub the fretboard

>>127429423
Looks like anon’s Mustang.

>>127429423
p90s do

>>127429544
Where do you see P90s in that picture?

>>127429570
Does anybody really use the "jazz circuit" on these things?

>>127429588
You can use it to have the neck vol/tone all the way open and roll the bridge back a bit. It's also great mod space.

>>127429570
All fat singles are the same.

>>127429451
This. It’s purely about feel and playability for me, there are instances where rosewood would look better aesthetically but given the choice I’d go maple every time. This JM has one of the nicest neck and fretboard feels out of anything I’ve ever played. It and my Strat have exceptionally comfortable necks.

>>127429481
sounds like you have a very light touch, not everyone does. maple feels infinitely better

>>127429611
They most definitely are not, they sound completely different.

Don’t have maple dryin g out on you either. I wish there was a rosewood color with maples feel.

>>127429640
well my main tele has jumbo frets and everything else i own is med jumbo except a classic vibe strat with narrow tall
never spent a considerable amount of time on a guitar with small frets like a jap mustang or vintage fender

>>127429650
cope

>>127429667
>all four door cars are the same
>no they’re not
>c-cope!

>>127429666
I play medium jumbos as well and I dig into my fretboards regularly. It's just a difference in playing styles. That's one reason why some people pay for a pro setup and then complain about intonation being off. Some players just fret strings a little more aggressively than others. For those that do, maple usually feels best to them.

>>127429683
>delving into Lacanianism instead of just bolting the doors on the fucking vehicle

we're not alike

guitars suck dick. learn a real instrument

so true queen!

I keep going back to my Tele. Strats are cool, P90s are wonderful, luv me Mustangs, but at the end of the day it’s hard to beat a Tele for me

>>127429776
Yeah we should learn your favoriting instrument (the skin flute (aka penis (cuz ur gay (lmao))))

>>127429776
no other instrument can do this
https://voca.ro/1mDaI9ZG9Lgt

>>127429481
Sure that too but it's just a massive difference for me between the woods
>>127429628
Add to that for me aesthetically a classic tinted maple neck (without painted headstock) is what i like. Roasted/plain don't look as nice but hey we all like what we like

Hendrix hooked me into guitar and being lefty too i'm so used to playing a reversed strat i find it awkward to play a lefty strat

damn my tones extra good today
https://voca.ro/1lN4w0tIdJAm

>>127429795
cooked em

Okay I just smelled my bass strings and compared it to my guitar strings. My bass strings smell like shit and my guitar has no smell so it's time

>>127429962
But how does your butthole smell?

>>127429962
boil your strings

>>127429880
>i'm so used to playing a reversed strat
Based, even more based if you play it still strung for a righty like Dick Dale did

newfag guitar player here, qrd on proper lip biting and brow furrowing technique and timing?

>>127429653
A friend found some random pos no name catalogue strat style guitar in a clearout and gave it to me. I use it as my "Joni Mitchell weird tunings" guitar. It has a dark neck that with grain a lot denser than usual rosewood so i don't know if it's a different wood or type of rosewood but it actually feels quite nice to me. I think ebony fingerboards have tight grain maybe that would give a more maple feel?

>>127430006
>not using a bidet on your stings

>>127429974
Nah same as Hendrix. But i was gifted a cheapo righty acoustic Squier (not worth the hassle of reversing) i very very ocasionally play. Weirdest being putting that into a Joni tuning and playing an upside down attempt of Yvette In English

>>127429964
>>127429970

>>127430041
Upside down guitars for lefties look cool. One of the reasons I wanted a Super Sonic was because of Hendrix playing an upside down Jag looking cool. Even Mike Bloomfield’s butchered Tele looks cool.

>>127429667
Not that anon, JM pickups are not P90s… give it a quick goog.

>struggling with the repetitiveness of some songs with finger exhaustion
>try one song with a pick instead
>"holy shit it's actually easier to play bass like this"
I'm conflicted, fingers are way cooler. There was a song where I was struggling with my left hand and for some reason having the pick made it easier to move my left hand.

How do you guys deal with hangnails? Do you pull on them or just let them be?

>>127430237
define "hangnail"

>>127430237
chew them off, of course

>>127430237
The way I strum without a pick (which is how I play 95% of the time) my index and half of my middle finger nail doesn’t grow/is always being shaved down by the angle that it hits the wound strings. Biting them is bad for your teeth so when I do get a hangnail I grab clippers or use the file on my pocket knife to shave it down.

I'm a bad man

https://voca.ro/175C5IzD9YLJ

>>127430237
I bite my nails like every 3 days or so and just rip shit like that off in the process

>>127430332
Ayo this my cuz Mountain that young knockout kid? Ong he has flow fr doe.

>>127430237
I don’t get hangnails because I’ve chronically bit my nails for 20+ years

Pros:
>looks
>tuners at the bottom
>reversed bridge pickup
>selector switch and volume knob out of my strumming path
Cons:
>bye bye top notes unless you have gigantic fingers
>knobs and jack in my arms way (i just remove the knobs desu)

i put my Jazzmaster up on reverb and didn't get any offers. the fretboard looked dry and not that great. so i rubbed my own human shit into the fretboard thoroughly over the course of the next few days, waiting for a layer to dry completely before applying another coat. After a week, it was a deep rich brown color. funny thing is... now I don't wanna sell her. I took down the ad and have barely put her down since

>>127430502
You nasty

Yeah I'm thinking my next one is gonna be an explorer

don't play anything total retard here but I gotta ask for people who actually know what makes a guitar player top-tier is jerry cantrell considered a great guitarist? love AIC and the riffs he comes up with but if i said that jerry was one of the all time greats around guitarbros would they smack da shit outta me?

pic semi related rip layne

How well does guitar center pack guitars they ship? Debating ordering a used one from a store halfway across the country and not sure I trust the employees to give a shit. It does come with the OHSC at least

>>127428999

>>127430502
>my own human shit
that's some 20th century artist medium

My Les Paul came with the absolutely dreadful 60s Burstbuckers which I eventually swapped with some Custombuckers which I absolutely love.
My old PRS SE had those shitty Korean stock pickups so I put the 60s Burstbuckers in there and while I like them better in the PRS than the Gibson, they still suck
Determined not to throw any more money at that guitar, I am going to swap the alnico 5 magnets with alnico 2s
Anyone done a magnet swap before and felt like it was worth it and an upgrade? I'd rather swap 15 dollar magnets than pay 200+ for a new set

he's never thrown in the ring of greatest guitarist but he was pretty good at mixing the blues with grunge. he's not bad by any means

I can't make up my mind on weather I should buy this or not

>>127430935
I really needed to hear this, thank you. now where is the guitar?

>>127430651
there's not really a standard. shouldn't be any concern with a HSC but our standard was 4-6 very thick layers of sturdy bubble wrap vertically around the entire guitar and take up any excess space inside the box with more wrap. if a retard at ups or fedex runs a pallet jack through the side of the box there's nothing you can do

>>127430954
looks expensive, all OD pedals sound identical

>>127430983
it's only £100~150 in most places, it interests me because most don't sound like it

>>127430983
not true even with all the dials at noon. you can turn those btw.

In the land plaid glowing

i own a standard D-18 built in 2004, a 2023 custom D-18 Authentic (1937 model) with a baked and aged Adi top (1935 sunburst finish) and sinker mahogany back and sides, a D-42 custom with an Adi top and premium, absolutely premium, Guatemalan rosewood back and sides, a Taylor all neo-tropical mahogany custom with 914ce features, and a J-41 special. My biggest monster, my most beloved guitar, the one i prefer playing, is the D-18 authentic. Its mahogany is estimated to have sunk in river water for at least 400 years. Let me tell you why I so like her... She seems to be twice as loud as my D-18 standard, and I am not kidding...; She's got the Martin signature sound, the one from way back then...; She vibrates and resonates my chest when I play her...; She must be good for my heart's health; I love its thick neck. There is a reason it was designed this way. It is perfect for my hands...; Don't be afraid of it...: Many of you would like it; She is so light... I can't believe how light she is when I pick her up...; She looks beautiful...; She is very feminine...I adore her. She's my babe; Yes I paid $6,800 for it, but an old beaten up 1937 D-18 costs about 70k... And I've got a brand new 1937 D-18. -sonofprovenance, YouTube, ca.2025

My reviews of my guitars:
Revstar: the GOAT, better than a Les Paul
Telecaster: perfect, it's great, sounds awesome
Squier Strat: based, one of the best strats of all time
Yamaha LL16: really good, perfect fit and finish, great sound, top 10 all time acoustic

>>127431151

>>127431134
Congrats or sorry that happened

I was watching a YouTube video of a shop buying a guitar from a guy that belonged to the guy’s dad, it was an early 1950s Telecaster that the dad bought new in the early 50s and routinely played it either in solo gospel stuff or country bands up until he died like 10 years ago. How cool would that be to have a guitar you buy new and then hang onto it and routinely play it for 60 years until you die? That’s cool as shit.

I'm ruthless.

Looking for a decent sub 1k p90 guitar bois.

I'm thinking revstar or an Epi LP custom.

Thoughts?

>>127431192
The music leader at my church growing up had a 1954 strat just like that. His dad bought it new, played it until he died, the music leader inherited it, and I got to play it as a kid in the worship band since my shitplank at the time couldn't stay in tune. It didn't dawn on me how special it was until much later in life. I couldn't fully appreciate it at the time but I certainly do now. It had a ton of player wear on it, this was before people started intentionally making their guitars look like shit and it really stood out. Not so much wear patterns but just paint straight up flaking off. He still has it more than likely but to him it was always an instrument that had value due to it being his father's, not because it was a first year 2 tone that had a ridiculous monetary value attached.

can't stand the sound of p90s, lace sensor silvers or bust

>>127431115
nope thats copyrighted you can't use those chords

You got a problem with me
Cuz I'm in the mood
To commit a felony

>>127431192
My friend lost his dad at a young age, like 5 or 6, and the only memento he has of his dad’s is an Elite Strat that was his dad’s primary guitar throughout life. My friend is a drunk and pawns almost everything he owns for booze and weed, but not that Strat. If he ever tries to I’ll step in buy it and keep safe for him until he can get his shit together.

>>127431247
I can’t stand the sound of your moms caterwauling when I’m blowin dat back out. Just kidding, I’m not a huge fan of P90s either..

>>127429423
I tried one of those square inlay squier CVs but the neck felt dinky and the black binding was painted on

Just got a bass vi, riffing on this thing is awesome.

>>127431327
what kind? what color? post pics
I'm eagerly waiting for CME to release their Tahitian Coral Squier one

>>127431226
>>127431284
Like I’ve still got my first guitar but it’s an early 2000s Mexican Strat and that poly finish isn’t going to wear at all like a good nitro would. I’ve gigged that thing for years across three states and other than a few little dings and some rust on exposed metal it still looks like 85% new. I’ll keep it forever but it’ll never be as cool as an old guitar that shows it’s honest play wear from a single player. Everyone that I know has passed guitars along and doesn’t stay long with one.

>>127431352
Don't get too excited, it's an Ibanez SRC6MS. Wanted something a bit higher end than the Squier but didn't want to splash out Fender money. Got it from Sweetwater and it was in good shape with great fretwork. Except that the nut slot for the low E was slammed almost to the fretboard. Knew it was going to buzz just looking at it, and it did. Some super glue and baking soda fixed it right up. The bridge is a revelation, easiest set up ever. My first multiscale and I can take it or leave it, seems more like a gimmick than anything but it doesn't bother me at all so it's fine.

https://files.catbox.moe/n5emke.mp3
what scale is this in?

>>127431224
I'm looking at a P-90 Revstar as my next so that's my vote

>>127431224
Got to play a p-90 epi custom yesterday, I liked the modern c-neck and those pickups had some damn growl, probably bassier and chunkier than my SD1/4 MiJ clone, gonna get one at some point

Oh yeah, the sound. With pickups switched to active it has way fatter bass tones than I was expecting. With distortion it's absolutely fuck nasty. Mostly plan on using it fairly clean which it does well. Really cool to loop and play over, it's low enough to get out of the guitar's way and let it shine.

>>127431493
This

>>127431401
You could always paint it… maybe not as gayly as I did, but I was blacked out on heroin, benzos and multiple rips of freebased DMT. It was regrettable at first because it was a nice, white finish but over time, as ugly and gay as it looks, it has character and has grown on me. Mine has also been gigged and run into the ground since I got it in the mid aughts, it could really use a thorough tear down and fresh setup. I’ve considered refinishing it but that’s a huge pain from what I’ve read.

>>127431494
my friend has a 1 p90 epiphone les paul special or junior or whatever and it's really cool

>>127431487
my guitar ear isn't as good as my bass ear but sounds like a root with chromatic walk up from the flat 3rd to the 4th and occasionally the flat 7th and maj 6th. sounds like it's in A with the riff being played in A D and E (1-4-5). i would consider it the minor pentatonic primarily

>>127431608
meant to say minor 6th but i'm sure im incorrect on more than one thing.

Now that the mods are asleep- did I actually do good for $500 on the “e” sn Squire? Or should I have asked him to throw in the couch too?

>>127431224
Sub $1k Revstar all day long.

>>127431487
Using my highly scientific method of sliding around the 6th string until it sounds right seems like D major pentebonics

>>127431641
$500 for an E series MIJ Squier is great, but I personally hate locking vibratos and would probably sell/trade up for something I’d like better.

>>127431641
You should have asked him to throw out the couch

>>127431671
It's relic'd man, people pay big bucks for that.

>>127431698
jej

why do you need a fender when squier is putting out all the cool guitars in their paranormal & classic vibe range?

>>127431641
hey man if you like it, i love it

>>127431641
none of those bands use a strat

>>127431670
I like the nut lock. I appreciate it, man. That makes me feel good about the deal.
DESU it wasn’t my first choice in color, but the price, and the pickups make it worth it. Out of all the guitars he showed me, idk there’s something about this one that slaps. Like these pickups go pretty hard, not gonna lie.
>>127431671
Unfortunately I did not get to sit.
>>127431723
I appreciate it, anon. Wasn’t my first color choice. Personally I like graffiti yellow. However something about those pickups are loud. They slap. Idk what kind they are.

>>127431658

None of them will ever be an R9
Night and day famlam

>>127431883
true!

>>127431823
let us know if you actually figure it out. i was too lazy to loop it for 15 mins

would you a chinese knockoff?

>>127431922
for target practice maybe

>>127431922
No way. At least those JP copy brands have enough faith in their product to put a name on the headstock.

>>127431719
The last few years Squier has been killing it. I’m not a fan of one billion piece bodies but that’s not that big of a deal. Swap pickups if you feel you need it and you’re done, maybe a nut.
>>127431814
The vibrato thing is just a personal thing for me. There’s a Japanese Telecaster from the same time period locally (but it’s Fender and not Squier) that looks like it’d be slick but the guy wants a grand for it, and I don’t want to spend a grand for a guitar with a vibrato unit I’m not going to like. I said last thread that you lucked out that the lock above the nut is still there, those are always missing and are impossible to replace. The one on the local Tele is missing. If you like that vibrato it’s a good unit, those Fender System 1 and 2 vibratos are good units. For a cheap guitar (price wise, not quality wise) you scored. That could easily be a guitar to play the crap out of and never worry about cuz you’ve only got $500 in it.
>>127431863
The one on the bottom
>>127431883
Nah the only Gibsons I’ve ever got along with are Specials and Juniors. Maybe an R4 or R6 would be cool, I like the look of Goldtops with P90s but I don’t know how I’d like the old style trapeze tailpiece of the R2.

>>127431719
Only a Fender is good enough!

Praise Jesus, man! That’s awesome!! Hey man, I really do appreciate all your words on that, man. Gotta say you made me feel a lot better about the purchase.
I don’t blame you on not wanting to drop a grand. For me- at least with guitars I could never justify that much personally.

les paul? solved. tele? replicated. d18/d29? almost 1:1 a yamaha fg9. rick 4003? we have that at home. why the fuck can't anyone replicate the j45? the only maker i've seen come close is Atkin but it's almost twice the price

feel good

All the photos obscure the headstock, I wonder if it's cut off or something. Surely for that price something is amiss.

The pickup selector barely worked, they're using actual gibson greenybuckers but they sound like toilet water and the out-of phase barely worked, how do you fuck up that bad on a 1,500 guitar made by impoverished asians?

>>127432121
It's about the bottom line, not the QC anon. The world cares and plays less than we do.

Nah the unbound poverty stick Gibsons just have a rawness and simplicity to them that makes them cool

I'm a fan of the SX headstock, because you can you it like a hook to suspend your guitar. I don't understand the purpose of this curve on other guitars. They'd just sort of slide off and collapse onto the floor

>>127432116
Try an LP special, much better to play

Is there anything wrong with basswood in a Strat?

debating on whether I should get my Explorer repainted in a "reverse-silverburst" finish.

>>127433142
It's relatively soft and will take dings easier.

>>127433142
Nah. Alot of MIJs are basswood, no widespread issues with em.

>>127433142
it's a bit soft under the shell of clear coat

>>127433151
caca-burst

>>127433186
It looks nice on a les paul. But I'm guess that has mostly to do with the rounded bottom of the body

>>127433162
>>127433180
>>127433186
Oh ok, thanks guys. Would you guys- or any of you happen to know how hard it would be to put together my own guitar?
I think it’d be sick to take a neck, a body, and electrics and slap all of it together.

>>127433195
turn that brown upside down
reverse caca

>>127433151
Like this but silver? I think it'd be slick.

>>127433210
I think Imma take the risk. There's literally no one who would think of doing it because it would look bad. But I want something different. Gonna change the neck to satin to. Gibson necks turn to unplayable shit after some time.

>>127433241
Something like that, yeah

Thank God for Martin Guitars.

>>127433243
glad I could help

>>127433260
i'm going to get a d18 in a few months. torn between the standard and a modern deluxe. the standards now use caca wood for the neck

>>127433207
You could put one together and have someone experienced give it a full set up. Easier than learning how to do all of that yourself or buying the tools.

>>127433327
I'd get the one with all the specs you want. No regerts.

>>127433345
How much is a full set up?

>>127433358
that's sage advice.

>>127433361
if you bought the beck and body from warmoth (known to be good and fit well together) and your pickups go in without routing, less than $200

>>127433361
Depends on your area and the expertise of who's doing it. Anywhere from $50~$100 could be reasonable depending on what needs to be done.

>>127433376
>bought the beck

two turntables and a microphone

>>127433398
fuck fuck, i'm sorry. i ruined it

Oh yeah, guys- I have a quick question.
So my squire “e” sn strat.
I’m happy with it, but I’m starting to 2nd guess myself.
Like it sounds great, but I’m wondering if I shoulda just saved and bought an alder body strat, and a color I woulda been more happy with, like those cool graffiti yellow Strats. But then again, I really do not need a $1000 guitar

>>127433431
post pic of it with timestamp

>>127433431
take everything off of it, clean it really good and spray paint over it. if you don't like it you can just wipe it all off with acetone

>>127431922
Only for a chimebag to hang on the shed wall, you're a retard spending that much on a chinese guitar to actually play though

>>127433440
It’s in the thread. The one with the cool couch I should’ve negotiated in the deal.

>>127433472
I don’t know much about guitars, and quite frankly I don’t know if mine is valuable enough, but wouldn’t that drive the value into the ground?

>>127433478
That's just some pic form the internet.

>>127433484
well if you're concerned about the value and already don't like it...

>>127433472
>acetone all over your guitar

Post you're amp.

>>127433513
i can confirm acetone will not hurt a polyurethane finish but it will for sure fuck up a polyester (early 70s) finish. it's great for removing paint; literally just wipes off.

>>127433529
I amn't amp

>>127433472
MEK works really good too.

>>127433545
>used as a plastic welding agent
very interesting, i might have to experiment with some of this stuff. i always keep ipa, acetone, and mineral spirits on hand but never messed with mek. thanks

>>127429025
I am getting around chords presently.
I know what intervals are, but never really understood a very simple thing, which is the relationship between intervals, not just the two-dimensional relationship between two notes a.k.a. interval.

Other than that, I think I understand rhythm, but it's a whole other beast to tame

>>127433538

>>127433327
>>127433358
I got a Standard. The neck is awesome. What are you talking about.
They always say they use hardwoods (generic) for the neck just in case, but it's almost undoubtedly always Mahogany, quartersawn. Second rare option would be Cedar. Both are good, but you're most likely to get a good piece of mahogany. Fretboard is always ebony, but if you mean the splotchy patterns, just hold out until you find an all dark piece. Mine's all black.
Deluxe is cool, but I don't need what it has. Ymmv. The main difference is the torrefied top (VTS). For the cork sniffers, it uses animal/hide glue throughout (I think the Standards just use that for braces), blingy gold appointments, and the fancy schamancy metal bridge pins. I have some of those bridge pins separately, but I don't hear the difference with ebony or bone.

>>127433431
Haven't you owned this guitar for like 8 hours? How do you already have buyers remorse? Just flip it if its causing you anxiety

>>127428842
>FUCK the guitologist for caring about his children
why are childless libs so unhinged?

Why shouldn't I just tune my guitar in fourths?
Open chords are gay anyway.

>>127433605
Well, intervals is what make chords, scales and everything else in music

>schizo amp man le bad
imagine caring about youtube guitar drama

>>127434940
Tom Quayle plays like that, some of the smoothest legato in the game too.
even he says that he doesn't recommend it for new players and actively tries to discourage people from doing it.

https://youtu.be/sOalKvIykck?t=38

>>127434962
Why the hell is there drama involved at all. Not two "youtube genres" that should meet. Or so I would think.

>>127434962
wut is blud yapping about
everyone knows drivers seat is for food reviews, not guitar reviews

Problems with a Fender strat.
One string can't hold a note. That's not to say it's out of tune, I mean the single note wobbles a half tone out when played on an open fret. It makes open chords sound so bad I can barely stand to play the piece of shit without a capo.

Guitar holds tune otherwise, all the other strings are fine. Real humdinger is that changing the offending string didn't help at all. It's like there's something wrong with the reverb or pickup

>>127435054
Oh that's cool to see in action thanks for sharing.
Does he give specific reasons against doing it outside of beginner arguments?
I assume the main drawbacks are learning material and lack thereof, the requirement to adapt stuff etc.
I was mainly a piano and bass player who played 6-strings (BEADGC), which is what gave me the idea.
I'm not an advanced guitarist however I've been noodling on guitar for years and I now want to properly practice it. I know my scales, how to construct chords and how to harmonize (in theory at least).

>>127435110
If you mostly play in musical contexts that requires you to have those idiomatic chord voicings on the guitar, he doesn't recommend it (i.e. covers bands). He has a specific video discussing it's pros and cons.

how do i get rid of the mud? specially inside my humbuckers

>>127435415
pour water on them, they're quite durable

>>127435110
the benefits are that any shape, arpeggio, chord or whatever will be exactly the same shape, moving between strings for the root note. the drawback is that it messes with the open string stuff in blues and rock and for open chords, E A D G C that you would typically learn first, you'd have to settle for different fingerings to make them work.
If i could start from scratch, i would consider it. at the very least, it would make you sound different than the millions of guitarist learning the same stuff in their first few years.
if the 4ths tuning made sense for the bass playing you did, maybe give it a shot.
there's videos of quayle talking about the tuning at length if you wanna check it out

>>127435415
could be all sorts of things.
maybe your pushing too much signal into your amp and it's just compressing everything naturally, you could lower the pickups or at least, lower the side of the pickup under the fat strings some if your pickups allow it.
maybe play with the amp eq some, kill the bass and use the mids more, or just pick up a $20 ali express eq pedal, to dial out some of the low end

>>127435468
that's why people like tube screamers fyi, they have a high pass filter, getting rid of the low end that your amp doesn't know what to do with. it's why all the low tuned sounds like tube screamers, its a bass cut and a boost all in one

>>127435358
>>127435447
Thanks bros. I'll check out his vid as well.
I'm very interested in giving it a try at least for a few weeks or so to see where that takes me.

>>127426561

and how many of them get their gear stolen?

>>127435468
yup, just lowered the pickup by ear until i couldn't hear a warble. had to back it off quite a fair bit, factory setting was 1/16” bridge pickup, 3/32” neck pickup. way too close.

This is pretty cool

>>127431719
I have a CV Jag and while it’s decent, serviceable, my Vintera and MIJ FSR Jag are way nicer in every way. I have a Paranormal Toronado, again, pretty decent but I would jump at a ~$1000-$1200 Fender Toronado if it kept true to the original design and came in a good range of colors. Mid range fenders are still a notch above the top line Squiers.

>>127435754
That would entirely depend on the location of the space you rent, the people you are renting from, and the people you advertise the space to. Renters insurance is cheap regardless, at least in the states.

The 2025 US fenders I’ve played so far this year all feel like this. Loose connections, scuffed up, poor factory setups.

I have these as well as a MGD100DFX that’s been mid repair for over a decade. I should probably part with it but it has sentimental value. It was my main amp back when I still played in bands and had a bit of success with gigging and recording original music.
