Picrel would probably be good and cheap enough for beginners with that bridge. The traditional 3 saddle bridge drives some people nuts since it's harder to intonate. That's the only big drawback of Teles really, expensive or cheap.

like this, pretty common. mutes both E strings typically

I have a new found appreciation for the people who came before us, there was a lot of misinformation and people not knowing what they were doing. shit tones, shit gear, people just figuring it out. They must have been really talented and then some who were not so much

Yeah it's pretty rad. The album it debuted on was fucking kino too.
https://youtu.be/sGda8zFzutU

I'm only used to playing a strat, is a tele a lot of getting used to comfort/ergonomic wise? I do love the way they look

finally got one of the guitars on my dream list. plays incredible.

>>127446600
Slabs are gonna be less comfortable and the traditional bridge sucks to palm mute with. Doable but you might want to consider upgrading the bridge.

>>127446600
Typical tele has a slab body and often more of a 'baseball bat' C-neck shape. Ofc you can find teles that have neither. If you're accustomed to a shallower neck shape it'll be a bit of an adjustment.

>>127446668
If slabs are less comfortable, why don't teles contour to the body like a strat does?
For reference, this is the guitar I was looking at.
https://www.glguitars.com/product/fullerton-deluxe-asat-z3/

>>127446706
Because it was one less manufacturing procedure making it cheaper to produce and some people still want "traditional accuracy". Das it

>>127446706
So that one's a G&L which does have a back cut and a non-vintage bridge. The first Fender Teles were basically a working prototype and didn’t have ergonomics quite figured out yet. G&Ls are later down the line.

>>127446800
Thank you.
Looking at the specifications it looks like the neck width & radius are the same as a strat too which is good to know.
I just love the tele body shape but I was worried there would be a learning curve switching to a tele body

Postin' it again

I want one of these with humbucker sized P90s

First for B(ased)C Rich

I trucking love my 83 MIJ Mockingbird boys

Tape on the volume knob as I am recording with it currently and the knob goes to 90% easily lol

>>127446666
Checked and glad you like it anon! I like the color

>>127446926
Cool as fuck. What are the top right switches for?

>>127446940
you know I've never seen slanted humbuckers on a guitar before, maybe a rapier 33 but I'm unsure about that

Never seen a stripe like this before.

What's the sound difference in a single coil vs a p90?

>>127446926
jesus christ how horrible

>>127447141
Which single coil and which p90?

>>127447079
there'a a reason for that

whoa

>>127447228
AW4370 & G&L Z-coils (not exactly a single-coil but close enough)

guys is it possible to have my guitar into audio interface into pc but have the output be through pc (I only have a 3.5mm jack and my interface has only 1/4 inch for output)
bought a jackson kelly today after a decade of not playing

>>127447290
>Z-coils
Those aren't single coils at all, they are 2 separate coils with reverse polarity.

>>127447233
Whatever the reason, they should make more of them.

>>127447366
>'reverse-polarity anon' when someone mentions pickups

>>127447366
Yes but I heard they're similar to single coils tonally
Anyway I'm just trying to visualize the tone of a p90 vs a z-coil

It's reverse wound reverse polarity!

>>127440026

Judging by your trip code, I bet you stole those.

>>127447630
Oops, I meant to link to nigbluesanon’s post. I feel stupid now..

>>127447079
It’s based on the GT40. Those models were a cross promo with the 2005 Ford GT iirc.

How would you describe the feeling/tone of each note?

>>127447786
the high notes have that bell like chime while the low mids have that warm, round sound.

Asside from the boomer meme, are Les Paul’s worth it?
I can’t see paying at least a literal $1,000 for a scuffed one.
Much less (not that I could afford it) $7,000 like pic rel.

>>127447907
Some are worth it, definitely not that one.

>>127447079
probably the gran torino since the guitar is called a toronado, but i also included a 1970 boss 302 which also has a cool stripe

>>127447945
I figured. How much is worth it?
I like Strats, but there is something particularly cool about LP’s

>>127447907
>a literal $1,000
Bad news for you my man, a grand is about entry level for a half decent guitar these days.

>>127447983
if you can get a genuine gibson lp custom for $1k I would, they're like $5k now new. 3 P90s is kind of gay though

>>127445594
Hmmm...and the proper way is with three fingers? But then how can you play a sus4 on the B string?

>>127447907
No, only for boomer memes, or anime memes also

>>127446940
Nice… never considered something like this.

>is it worth having one of the most beautiful electric guitars ever made that will practically never lose its value on which millions of hits were recorded (gibson les paul)
gee i don't know man

>>127448361
Lets see yours then.

This was a $2200 guitar after taxes and tariffs, but it feels and sounds like a $2,000,000 guitar. God bless the Japs and their attention to quality and consistency. It goes for cars as well, I had a Celica GT with almost 300k miles on it and it ran like a top until some drunken boater smashed into and totaled it one night when I was sleeping.

Thoughts on the AF30?

>>127448467
alvarez makes good acoustics in the higher price range. at that range i'd probably consider a yamaha or eastman but never played an af30

>>127448406
My jap ibanez is flawless and mogs gibson in finish quality.

>>127448420
Nice epiphone

>>127444811
A Washburn D10 or D11N. The GWL series isn't any good in my opinion but any of the older Washburns on the low end have amazing woods and unbelievably bright LOUD tones. I have taken my D10 to a jam before and people with really expensive guitars always ask me what strings I have on the guitar, they can't seem to get it through their heads that my low end Washburn is louder than their high end money sinks. It really makes them fucking seethe. If you can afford a higher end Washburn someday you'll be a very happy person. Their pro lines are top notch guitars.

>>127447216
WOOOAAAAHHHH

>>127448635
it's easier to spray urethane. that's not really a flex

>>127444843
Yup, I have a vintage Vantage VS-445 with the most amazing neck I have ever used, bought it for $150 back in the day. It has a brass nut. Just found out that an identical unit just sold for $1007. LOL!

>>127448678
No, the flex is that our jap guitars hold tune for literal days of vigorous playing meanwhile Gibsons go out of tune mid song. Seriously though, I get comparing them is apples and oranges, but you’re not paying a premium for a useable instrument with Gibson, it’s about the name, prestige, and their proprietary features which offer little to no value in the way of functionality.

Honesty memes aside for some reason sometimes when I'm learning something on guitar I feel like I have a vague memory of having done it before

>>127448913
what kind of discount did they give you guys?

>>127448859
that's a setup issue that plagues all 3+3 headstocks; you'll see bluegrass players always retuning their martins also. nut needs to be compensated for the angle of the strings coming out the back but no one does it. gibsons mistake was setting up their plants in black cities. building a gibson has a ton of extra steps (pore filling with stain and sanding, routing binding and scraping the top, gluing the headstock veneer and inlay, binding and filing the neck and undercutting the frets, 10 layers of nitro finish in which the undercoat has to be sanded etc). you can't really compare that to an unbound, solid color, set neck, urethane piece of shit in terms of fit and finish. it's more like building an acoustic guitar in which ironically their guitars have equal fit and finish but better quality than something like martin where their finish delaminates, the binding pops loose, or the neck needs reset in 10 years. but those are built in a white part of the country

>>127446666
Why is it outside?

>>127448992

>>127448970
Holy cope

>>127448953
Hey, maybe you are the reincarnation of Eddie Van Halen!

>>127449051
setting up a guitar is more than just turning a truss rod and lowering your saddles

>>127448678
I mean total encompassing finish from the smallest screw to the sanding of the neck. It makes gibsons feel like a toy

>>127448970
Don’t get me wrong, once I fully scratch my fender offset itch I’ll very likely get a few Gibsons that interest me, like a Firebird, double cut LP special and maybe whatever SG has the triple HB layout in a walnut finish. It just so happens that Jags and Mustangs suit my playing style and the tones I can get only from combining those guitars with certain pedals and amps.

>>127449138
it could very well be. the quality of everything on planet earth took a nose dive after covid

If you have to write a wall of text, you lost

>>127449138
This gets to the point I was making. Gibsons are extremely delicate, meanwhile I could club a wild boar to death with a Jag and it would still be intonated and in tune.

>>127449146
don't get me wrong nashville gibsons do have quality issues like tooling marks on the fretboard from filing the binding away. this is genuinely a problem with the workers they have in the factory which from my experience is due to geographical location. i don't think i've ever seen an issue with their bozeman acoustics. same ownership different workers

>>127448953
Did you try Molly Miller's course on this? It's free and excellent. It's long because she actually does the exercises with you through all CAGED fingerings.

This is why that meme about Gibson/Fender should be reversed if it was about the functionality of the instruments as opposed to the types of people who play them..

>>127449266
You're welcome!

>>127449162
if you actually had the money to drop on a valuable instrument you'd be interested in hearing where your money is going and whether or not it was actually worth it

>>127449215
I'll look at it. I'm doing the 33-hour long Scotty West meme course right now, he doesn't teach it as CAGED, he teaches it as just moveable barres but it's CAGED.

>>127445016
Allegedly the e-art tele's have amazing construction quality at abt 350$ but the electronics or at least the pickups will need to be replaced for any decent sound. After that, squier CV or harley benton if you can find one stateside

>>127449288
Was gonna buy a gibson saw the product wasnt worth the price and bought an ibanez prestige that makes me want to sell all my other guitars. No one adding to the ever growing guitar formula is playing gibsons. They are the civil war reenactment actors of guitar. They have a niche and it isnt for modern music outstanding quality or progressing the guitar. If you wanna larp theyre fine, but if you want a double humbucking mahogany body guitar better can be had for less

>>127449567
That being said i still want an explorer but not as much since my buddy got one and i can play his.

>>127449447
Keep this is mind. It's always alphabetical. So actually learning the 5th string A is quite easy because it actually GOES in alphabetical order up the neck starting from A which is what you're used to.

The two E strings just start on E instead of A. That's half your strings...

I memorize phrases for the dots on the fretboard.
Open Strings & 12th fret: Eat A Darn Good Breakfast Everyday

3rd fret dot: Go Cook Fish And(#) Don't Gag - just remember the A is a sharp.

5th fret dot: All Donkeys Go Crazy Every April
7th fret dot: Be Excellent And Don't Flick(# sharp) Boogars
9th fret you have to sound out fully: Cee sharp Eff sharp, BEGsharp Cee sharp
10thfret (no dot): Dinosaurs Got Cold Fast And Died
12th fret: (you already know this because of the open strings).

I actually don't mind TPS that much, especially when they have guests on. I've rewatched the episodes with Dave Gregory many times and they're pretty comfy.

>>127449567
yeah they all sound the same anyway or can at least be EQd to sound the same. so what your buying with the les paul is purely cosmetic and if that's what you want that's fine. there are reasons to hate les paul's but blaming their shortcomings on preventable things like dropping them or tuning stability is ridiculous. any acoustic is fucked if you drop it so should people not buy acoustics or what

>>127449306
There’s a black Dunable Cyclops locally that looks pretty cool but I don’t know about them, the only people that play them are like 2000s homocore bands and I don’t play anything remotely similar to that

What do the tone knobs do? I can't hear any difference

>>127449765
they cut the trebles in a linear downward slope starting at like 800. compared to a graphic eq that just dips the frequency in sort of a V shape around whatever frequency you select. you could replicate it with a graphic eq but the tone pot is hitting multiple ranges in one go

>>127449762
I think its definitely worth a try if you get the chance. It plays phenomenally. I think ive used mine on everything from jazzy stuff to heavier stuff. I'm just a fan of how they resonate so well in the hand.

pic related, I had one of the import cyclops guitars and they kick ass. the Satin finish feels a bit better in the hand but then...it will also semi gloss over time so that kinda blows.

>they're hocking studios for $1800-2k now
Holy shit, I remember when they were $900 w/ a hardshell case, a firm handshake, and a reach around

>>127449567
Ibanez are soulless guitars that attention starved dudes jerk themselves off to. They’re not for making music unless you play a very specific kind of metal. I really can’t think of that many other popular bands outside of the offspring, korn and that polyphia that play Ibanez. They were a lot more common when 7 strings were popular with nu metal and there weren’t many options outside of Ibanez, but almost everyone who did play them has moved on to better gear.

>>127449765
Damn what kind of shitty chink pots do you have?

>>127449862
They have a few improved features over the old ones but yeah I mean a Les Paul standard is 3k now. Studios have always been in line with what a fender American Strat costs (so I guess a performer series? Idk about fenders idiotic new naming conventions)

>>127449830
Nevermind, just checked and it’s sold. It was a dark matte black just like that one but was a USA Custom Shop one for $1900.

>>127449867
>unless you play a very specific kind of metal
Nta but yeah they're shred machines and they excel at that. They're for a very limited number of players and that's fine. Their upper range are also extremely high quality instruments. I'm not sure where the hate comes from.

>>127449888
>USA Custom Shop one for $1900.
That wasn't going to last. I personally haven't seen a used usa custom listed below ~2300

>>127449903
They tend to sound like shit and the people who play them care more about technical ability and precision than making music. They were a lot better in the 70s when they made Gibson knock offs. Now they’re just meh.

>>127449921
>A subjective opinion and a generalized blanket statement about their players
The guy from Earth plays ibanez rg's and he has always had great tone that unique to him. It's fine if you personally don't like them but you don't need to invent things to be upset about.
https://youtu.be/GbPeZMpdSjE

>he cant afford an ibanez prestige
Lol its ok no need to sperg out and seethe

How do I become him?

>>127449977
I’m not upset the faggot I replied to said you can’t progress as a guitarist unless you play a soulless Ibanez and jerk it off. It’s not subjective either, Ibanez guitars sound worse with the same pickups as other guitars. I don’t know if it’s their electronics or bridge or what but they don’t sound good. They make PRS sound good.

>>127450002
Thats not what i said you dumbass. Aint no one making new shit with a gibson. Guitar has evolved so has music..gibson hasnt.

>>>127449888
that was a steal, damn

>>127449912
Funny enough I got my yeti up there for a steal. There was a small crack by the nut area that got repaired and is basically unnoticable. I'm pretty sure that most people aren't as lucky as I am though. this was sitting on reverb for probably like 5 months or something? idk why no one bought it

>>127449982
this must be one of the dragonforce guys

>>127450002
Well regardless, I'm glad I posted that Hex link, I forgot how good that album is. So at least this conversation was constructive in that manner.

>>127449982
>it's just a strat with a few more angles
why

>>127450052
That's "innovation" and "progressing the instrument"

Here's another guitar I want.
Yamaha SA500

>>127450058
very cool. i like that the pickguard is broken already.

>>127450052
So every rg is a strat? U just btfo urself

>59 reissue? I sleep
>54, 55, or 56 reissue? REAL SHIT

Out of all of my guitars I think I would be entirely content with just a single 2x P90 guitar. It’s nice having options for different sounds and feels but at the end of the day 2 P90s can just do so much and sound great while doing it, as long as you don’t mind the noise

>>127450113

are you under the impression that it's a new guitar?

>>127450087
I like it! Love the bridge setup too. That's unique to me. How much is this bad boy?

>>127450188
Just let him be retarded. He cant fathom a touring instrument. Someone post the new gibson that came with a detachdd headstock from the factory.

>>127450058
Whats the most recent model gibson has made by the way?

>>127450235
probably the theodore

>>127450188
no just poorly designed. the pickguard fits poorly that's why it broke from the screw. master craftsmanship right there

>>127450244
LMFAO BRUH
ok so who is this for lol

>>127450235
Theodor
But it was from old unused plans anyway

>>127450256

if you want good gibson

if you want funny gibsonne
get the lester paul axcess (wanglerbarre)

Gross

really weird that stevie's pickguard didn't fall apart despite having 10x the playtime

What ever happened to Mark Agnesi? He went from very popular used guitar sales star, to making one video for gibson and falling off the face of the earth. Is gibson going to run him over with a excavator like the firebird x?

>>127450298
>has to use fender to defend gibson.
Lmfao you got me good son.

>>127450020
Shut the fuck up retard you don’t know anything. Go listen to your satanic polyphia and progress into not alive.

Check your GDS bro

>>127450324
why would i compare a strat copy to a gibson. are you retarded?

>>127450330
I hate polyphia but its new music. You have no argument.
Also ichika nito, yvette young, and kiko loureiro along with paul stanley are playing ibanez and more relevant than any gibson player. Lmfao who are you going to bring up, Slash? ahhahahahaha

Lmao

Ok question for the better musicians here. Can you hear a riff and play it? How long did it take you to develop this skill and how do you train it?
I feel like I’m absolutely shit, cause I can’t do it at all. Sometimes I get a note right but that’s about it. I’ve even fucked up the direction the notes were going.
How bad is it and can it be fixed?

>>127450384
Yes a long time.

What’s that? You meant banjo?
Ok but how do you train it? Or did you basically start to pick up things from the songs you were learning from tabs.

I still remember the first riff I wanted to "write" in my head, I had just bought the bass, I was 14. I couldn't translate it. The lyrics went "Daisy, Daisy, you 've gone craazy since the laaast---pimp who threw you out in the streets" and that's as far as I wrote. At some point without me noticing, maybe a year, maybe two, it just happened. I start from a note I clearly have in my head from the riff or the song and I go forwards or backwards from that note. If you do that for 20-30 songs and find them on your fretboard you will start recognising the intervals quicker.

>>127450357
A bunch of instagram clout chasing japs / indonesians and a jew rat. Viva la progresión. No, I hate slash. Fender stratocasters and their derivatives, fender telecasters, and gibson les pauls comprise the majority of all recorded modern recorded music. Your precious ibanez is a stratocaster knock off. Ibanez as a company started as a budget import knock off brand of fender and gibson. It's no different now. They're not doing ANYTHING revolutionary that you can't get in another guitar that sounds and looks better. Shut the fuck up.

>>127450384
For the most part depending on the mix and how easy it is to hear the guitar parts. If I have the stems then it's usually pretty easy to figure out unless it's some weird jazz chord or voicing I'm not used to. Other than that I can usually figure a song out in a couple of minutes assuming it isn't extremely technical.

>>127450542
Show me the Jem substitute. No one has necks like ibanez.NO ONE.

Literally a gibson ES-175 ripoff. Name one ibanez guitar (besides tim hensons piece of shit acoustic electric) that wasn't a fender or gibson ripoff. I'm waiting. And don't tell me the iceman cause it's an ugly explorer they had to make after gibson sued them. Better yet, name ONE thing an ibanez does that any other guitar can't.

You know what they say about Gibson
Fix it again Tony

>>127450620
they all kind of stink desu and the strings make your fingers smell like metal. i've had both a fender and ibanez and they're about equal. i don't really think there's anything between the $400 poverty planks and the $4000 electric/acoustic uprights

every guitar i play makes my fingers smell. i got it after watching both of these. i got a 7 day return window but in case i like it, i got coverage.

>>127450884
I wonder if this guy who is chimping out even owns a gibson
only thing I don't like about ibanez is the RG style headstock, but that's purely an aesthetic choice and I don't think my schecter is that much of an improvement (I own a gib too)

>>127450884
Only a 14 year old cringy metal elitist would say something as retarded as gibson being obsolete. Almost every artist at coachella played a fender or gibson. There are other genres of music outside of gooning to metal shredders.

>>127450899
fair point. i assume you're going. to glue and cover it anyway i just don't like how the fall apart with moisture. nice rabbet joints tho

>>127450914
i don't care what people buy just stop acting like any brand is better than the other because they all have shitty models and have qc issues from serial number to serial number. except yamaha

>>127450914
No, I don't own a gibson or a fender. I would never own an ibanez though, and I've played them in bands (loaner 7 strings.) They're just meh guitars that I don't bond with.

>>127450876
>lo pro is a floyd
Haha dumbass

>>127450944
I had some issues with my first revstar, but they were pretty minimal. Mainly the bridge was too soft and got deep gouges in it that caused strings to stick and break.

>>127450384
Yes. I have a habit of picturing whats gong on on the fretboard as I listen to music pretty much 100% of the time. Not sure when it started clicking like that but I'm going on 24 years of playing.

>>127450958
???

>>127450958
I said it DOES the exact same thing as a floyd. It's essentially a knockoff floyd rose. I don't care how "good" it is because floyd rose invented the double locking trem and an orignal floyd rose works exactly how it should with zero issues. There's nothing to improve upon or any reason at all to buy an iBaNeZ eDgE pRo

>>127450960
i worked at a lgs and was told you could potentially lose your licensing with yamaha if you run unauthorized sales or discount their instruments. seems like they have a very solid grip on their instruments in all aspects

>>127450986
Well either way yamaha replaced that entire guitar because the bridge was getting gouged, free of charge. And I've never had issues with any other yamaha / line 6 products of which I've owned a lot. They're definitely A tier if not S tier instruments.

>>127450863
The material is better than the amp.

I'd join a build off if my house wasn't destroyed from being away and slumlords.

>still arguing with someone that doesn't know what "subjective" means
should have walked away hours ago anon

>>127450978
The whole difference is in the "lo" moniker. Its for palm muting. It makes a universe of a difference and gives players that extra dare i say it, edge.
>who needs humbuckers they DO the same thing as single coils.
Bye felicia.
>>127451011
Yamaha is great and line 6 is even better now. I got the catalyst amp thinking it was mediocre but its pretty darn good after the updates.

>>127451029
what the fuck are you smoking?
do you palm mute on the very back of the trem?
the area that you mute on both the lo pro and a standard floyd are identical beyond the lo pro having the mild gotoh contours (gotoh made the lo pro for ibanez for decades).
no one rests their palm on the whale tail.
and "edge" purely refers to swappable knife edges
I don't think you've ever touched a floyd, ibanez, gibson, lo pro or grass irl

>>127451011
yeah sorry the rest of my post got cut off. it's unfortunate you had that problem with the bridge. idk who casts those but i could see how it slipped through the cracks. bad metallurgy. awesome they replaced the whole guitar tho

>>127451074
Not to mention saddles and intonation screws are different. But nah youre right dumbass. Lmao

>gibson vs ibanez
Nothing but plebs arguing over scraps here. All of you are mogged by the simple Sunburst Stratocaster. Squier, American, Vintage, doesn't matter. Fender's got your back at whatever stage you're at.
I don't even need to post pics of one bro. It's the default guitar already in your head.

>>127451087
If I ever got another revstar which I very well might (I lost mine in a fire) I would just put a tonepros bridge on it and maybe different tuners. But other than that I don’t see a huge reason to buy a Japanese one.
>>127451029
I have no issues palm muting with a Floyd lol. It’s never even occurred to me, and I palm mute literally every time I touch a guitar.

The best ibby I ever owned wasn't an ibanez at all aside from the og wizard I had on it. Floyd w/ brass block, custom thinned out single hum/single vol body, and an sh4. It absolutely fucked. They do make really good necks but I find rg bodies too thick. Picrel is the only one I can find of it. It's in Japan now.

>>127451122
i really want a bb3000x (i think?) bass just like this one. i don't play bass much anymore so im saving for a d-18 modern deluxe. these basses sound awesome tho

>>127451122
>i have dainty light wrists
Lmfao

>>127449589
I can figure out note names on the fretboard in a variety of methods not much different than what you described.
My current challenge is learning the diatonics of each key.

>>127451200
For what reason. Are you making music using that?

>>127451178
Not for the whole thing, but some songs yes. He also notably used a Les Paul on Runnin' With the Devil. For most songs he used his black-and-white striped project build that he eventually continued modding into the Frankenstrat.

>>127451181
Isn't that what Billy Sheehan uses? Or atleast his sig is based off of it. Doing what Billy does is probably a pretty safe bet

>>127451216
learning the notes of the maj/min of each key allows me to derive intervals from memory
so iwill know what the 5th of E or the minor 3rd of G is, etc.

>>127451234
He was doing those bombs on a old 6 point bridge too. Floyd hadn't come out with his stuff yet.

>>127449444
>>127451189
Excuse me?

Eddie was based but he was also just an alcoholic with power tools and all of his guitars were absolute cobbled together garbage. He was incredible in spite of this. Everyone who ever got to play any of them were blown away by how shitty they were kek

>>127450373
Wow, great deal. Shipping is a real bitch in Canada isn't it? $288 for shipping LOL, fuck that.

"Babe I'm thinkin I need another Tele!"

>>127451178
Yes, but that was back when they were direct copies of gibson. It was essentially a Gibson explorer.

>>127451271
In some ways, yeah. That shark toothed Destroyer is a good example.
But a lot of his designs were copied endlessly and we wouldn't have the modern shredder superstrat if not for him.

>>127451271
At the end of the day, it really is all in the hands and the players' bond and how much he's used to getting what he wants out of it.. Eddie would be Eddie on probably any guitar. Same with other great players.

fender strap-ons are cool but I prefer the mxr ones

>>127451289
>b-bender? more like gender-bendor

>>127450863
Now cover it in subwoofer carpet or cheap vinyl.

I grew up idolizing eddie during an era when that kind of playing was shit on
in fact everyone shit on eddie endlessly from like 1995 to 2020 when he died and then suddenly you all call him legend
he is legend but fuck you guys

>>127451302
>But a lot of his designs were copied endlessly and we wouldn't have the modern shredder superstrat if not for him.
I agree wholeheartedly, the Beretta being the first example that springs to mind that copied his humbucker placement. What I was getting at though is he was basically winning pro circuit races with clapped out corollas that he built in his garage, its a testament to how good he was, not the brand of guitars he played. I too have my own 80's shitplank shredder that was definitely inspired by his affinity for doing whatever he wanted.

>>127451332
I actually had an idea to build a custom g bender called the gender bender a long time ago.

>>127450899
>It's 7/8" thick so it's not at risk of spontaneous disintegration.
Or being easily moved. I wouldn't worry about being stolen.

>>127451248
kind of. i think he's known for a humbucker in the neck tho, like really close to the bridge. fwiw that's nathan east in the pic who is arguably more famous than billy sheehan

>>127451352
you can't be mad. shredlets have been seething about EVH and will continue to seethe

>>127451367
sorry meant to say really close to the fretboard obviously. the refer to a p bass pickup as being in the neck but it's really in the center of the 12th fret to bridge

>>127451352
I don't remember anyone shitting on him. A lot of shitting on instrumental shred music, but there was still respect for Eddie during the 90s..even if the old VH days were gone. And all the newer rock guys still held him up. Dimebag, Zakk, Slash, Cantrell, etc.. Even Dave Navarro and Billy Corgan and Frusciante were like EVH fanboys when they were young, just like everyone else.

>>127451278
Yeah it's like half the value of the guitar. Still, I love the F-holes.

>>127451357
Eddies main Strat was a charvel with a wax potted Gibson paf in the bridge. He invented the Floyd rose later on but originally it had a fender trem on it. I wouldn’t say it was garbage aside from him wearing all of his frets and necks down. Wayne charvel was already building custom shredding guitars when Eddie put his together. It was a cosmetic second, but still just as good playability wise as anything else.

>>127451117
ah yes, I too mute with my palm on the intonation screws!
fucking retard

>>127451421
I saw that on your original post. I like that look too. Very unique. Look forward to hearing about its birthday! It's like bringing home a puppy from the Pound. Will be very loyal to ya.

>>127451400
>Dimebag
Wasn't he also buried with Eddie's yellow and black striped strat? All of those dudes really respected one another.

>>127451357
that looks like something Alexi Laiho would play
it even has the toggle switch for the built-in gain boost

>>127451460
probably from the guilt eddie felt for having him killed so he didn't overshadow him

>>127451479
kek I think the guy had a heart of gold, despite all of his substance problems. Just watch this.

no. Eddie put a Squier in Dimebag's coffin to punk him

He was just a bassist. Nothing personnel kid.

>>127451561
afaik the VH brothers didn't like that he was cool with Hagar

>>127451550
Idk man I’ve been playing for 30 years. Stems as in the isolated guitar tracks. Most songs are so over produced that the guitars kind of blend into the mix and it’s hard to tell what they’re actually doing. Just look up “song - isolated guitar” or “guitar only.” A lot of them come from rock band but a lot of them are being done with ai and other techniques now too.

>>127451694
But you make it sound like they are widely proliferated

>>127451708
sorry i'm not that guy i was just saying. they're in the same group as jackson's and ibanez for me. i don't really care about them

>>127451660
nice!

>>127451617
Eddie played a Les Paul before he built his super Strat.
>>127451671
Wayne charvel basically invented the super Strat in the 70s. Grover/jackson (of Jackson guitars) bought charvel in the late 70s. Lots of guys played them in the 80s. Charvel is now owned and manufactured by fender. It’s basically a Strat with humbuckers, a thin flat unfinished graphite reinforced maple neck, Floyd rose, gotoh or sometimes a hard tail bridge. Usually Seymour Duncan pickups had fishmans for awhile there. Essentially it’s just a hot rodded Strat, but they work well for any genre of music.

I've been looking at standalone modelling solutions ie Kemper, axe fx, quad cortex. My current setup is a tube amp going to a PC where I run a cab Sim and then output that way.

Any other solutions for silent recording?

>>127451770
not really

>>127451753

They are. Fender makes a metric fuck ton of them and a ton of guitarists play them.

>>127451797

>>127451671
>>127451694
Charvel was basically the first maker of third party Strat bodies and necks in the 70s afaik. Eddie picked up one that he made into his Frankie.
But Charvel eventually sold to Jackson. So basically they were a Jackson side brand through the 80s and 90s. Same Superstrat market as Jackson, but Jackson tends to make slightly edgier and new body shapes like Ibanez or V guitars like the Rhoads. Charvel's have always kind of been suped up rounder Strat type bodies without all of the edgieness of a Jackson or Ibanez.
Later on, Fender themselves bought Jackson, so both Charvel and Jackson are all under the Fender umbrella now. Along with EVH's own brand. You could think of it as Fender's Superstrat market. Fender is sort of the granddaddy of California guitars, and now they make every type.
