Help, My Gibson is Gibsick edition

blessed thread

No one who owns a Gretsch gets pussy. Its the Skechers of guitars.

Chris cornell?

Dude at Spitfire needs to finish my tort Jag guard already.

don't speak to me or my gibSon ever again

Yes, Chris Issak is notorious pussy repellent.

I want my acoustic bass NOW

>>127474575

nah. gretsch is mostly blues/country players and they get plenty of it. if anything pic related doesn't get it

Uglier than any Ibanez, impressive

Seven or eight years ago I went through a period of selling off all but the most necessary gear and I’m having that bug again. I’ve got ten electrics and I can’t play them all at once, even though I don’t dislike any of them. I’m thinking about thinning the herd to at least half that. At the end of the day there are three or four that I pick up regularly and the rest only when I’m specifically in the mood for that guitar, but at the same time it’s hard to sell something that you don’t dislike and that you have no problems with. Part of me thinks I should put some in their cases and put them away until I actually want to play them and the other part of me thinks I should sell and get one or two nice pieces of gear instead. I’ve been thinking about picking up a nice spec’d out Custom Shop Tele or a nice D28 or a Benson amp, and selling gear could easily fund some of that.

>>127474839

>>127474839
tone is in the fingers. make it a challenge to get the same tone out of the guitars you do play that the ones you don't have

Pic rel is all you need to play all genres of music, without using extra strings.

>>127475073
Eh you could consolidate that to an HSS imo

>>127475086
I have an hss strat too. It doesnt get the twang a single coil does in bridge position. The ibanez does what the hss strat does but better.

Tap the humbucker in the HSS and you're golden

I just don't have the money for one.

Its a shawbucker 1. I liked the treblyness at first but when i record with it i realize its the worse of both worlds. Not single coil enough and not humbucker enough. Hmmm maybe i gotta look at it like a p90

There was a chink streamliner for cheap on musiciansfriend stupid deal of the day.

Do guitars go out of being properly intonated as strings get old? A couple of months ago I spent a long time setting up my own guitar for the first time, had it all intonated properly and had the string height adjusted where I like it, but now some strings aren’t intonated and have some fret buzz that wasn’t there before even though I haven’t touched the saddle to cause either of those.

>>127475845
>Do guitars go out of being properly intonated as strings get old?
no
>now some strings aren’t intonated and have some fret buzz that wasn’t there before even though I haven’t touched the saddle to cause either of those
ambient temperature and humidity changes probably caused the neck to change shape a bit

>>127475783
ibanez claims another victim

>>127475845
Get a dehumidifier for your guitar room and keep temperature swings in check. Your intonation is fine, but your neck has moved

>>127475845
A little bit.
If your strings are old (like blackened) it's time for new strings.
I would change the strings before messing with the truss rod like >>127475939 is alluding to.
If you're willing to shell out a bit more, get some d'addario XS or elixir nanowebs and they'll stay fresh at least twice as long.

that can also humidify* you want it around 60%

cheese sauce from my loaded fries spilled all over my vintage tuners, they are now out of tune bros, time to quit

>>127474839
collecting midrange shitplanks is retarded because they just end up collecting dust once you settle into having 2-3 favorites. you should definitely sell atleast half of them to finance nicer gear. unless you're touring there's no sense in having multiples (a couple to get beat up on the road and a few to play locally/record with).

>>127474652
Solar guitars are fucking trash and they look like shit, also company is run by a total faggot…..

>>127475939
>>127475989
>>127475994
I didn’t think about temperature. It’s been hotter the last few weeks, that makes sense. It’s normally in the low-mid 60s but the last few weeks have hit mid-high 70s, that’s a pretty big hike in temperature.

>>127476094
thats mean anon

>>127476015
>60%

>>127476098
I keep a little $15 chinkshit hygrometer/thermometer out at all times (thermapro or someshit, I'm sure there's a bazillion other brands) and case my guitars if the temp or humidity swings too much. I keep them out as long as it's higher than 40% or lower than 70% humidity. autistic guitar stays cased.

>>127476108
he's straight but the rest is true

pro tip: strip your guitar of any pain or lacquer and leave it to collect mold, then inhale

never using these again but i'm gonna be really good at pull offs when i go back to normal strings

Where do you start after a decade of 0 regular play?

two weeks of very hard technique practice. everything else should still mostly be there

>>127476201
All I've got is my cheap ass teenage electric guitar purchase and I dont think I have the practice amp I used back then. Should I hit the pawn shop for any old acoustic?

>>127476155
I didn't say it was bad, there's just no way I'm wiring all that

>>127476218
you could probably just play unplugged for a week or two and think about it. a used amp will probably be cheaper than a playable acoustic

You can’t even buy pic rel for 100 bucks.

>>127477410
>been listed for two months
cant sell it for $225.99 either lmao

I'm subverting my own expectations.

How much theory do you need to know to teach beginners? I can play fingerstyle (very fast if needed), learn and play difficult material, write stuff that sounds good, and improvise well enough normies think I'm playing real songs. I also know a fuck ton of chords. But in terms of theory I only really know how keys work and how chords are constructed. More advanced players have said my technique and timing are good. Is that good enough to teach newbies or will I be a shit teacher due to not knowing my theory? I figure most beginners just want to learn songs or jam out.

Teaching is about sharing your talent or knowledge with others. If you have those, then students will be receptive. Having everyone practice the same text doesn't sound very interesting.

Is there anything more atavistic than playing a Gretsch?

>>127478170
A Jazz box.
Half of the Gretsch guys are rockabilly or at least some kind of punk friendly to it. And most of them are also showing off their hot rods on Friday nights somewhere and cooler than any of you (or me lol). It's "atavistic", but cool Americana shit. Way cooler than some Vietnamese kids with ricer cars and Ibanez at least.

I fucked this anons mum^

nah dude polyphia makes trap music, the beats, the 808's layered over the bass guitar. it is cool that they actually track drums rather than replace it all. i know not everyone likes the genre, same way MAB put people off with the technique over musicality thing but that's normal, not every band is for every listener

This is a design feature of the Gibson SG.

i love my 1996 midnight wine Squier Stratocaster (tm). I have filed down all the sharp fret edges and replaced the pups with ALNICO 2 stacked and humbuckers and rewired with the guitarnuts S-TASTIC wiring. Also added chinky brass saddles, nut and locking tuners.

>>127480596
Sounds cool, anon. Post it up!

>>127480601
desu I don't love it that much, but it has some sentimental value as I learnt guitar on it.. I do like the chinky pups, just sound pretty gritty and as good quality as the seymour duncans I have. I'd rather have a guitar with a flatter and wider fretboard. I just did these cheap upgrades to make it passable. and I do like it a lot better now. I'm gonna put an arcade killswitch on it too.

much more likely it's a setup issue. the necks on those are great, I had one and it was perfect after a setup. The bridge screws are just pig metal though and will probably break as soon as you try to adjust the bridge height. I sold mine for 600

why aren't you half as good as female classical guitar players?
what excuses come to mind?

I have never touched a classical guitar in my life

>>127481021
i can tell
never a woman either i'm sure

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taZdszIE0u0

>>127480988
isn't classical guitar generally women (female) dominated?

>>127481044
nah. what gave you that impression? probably male dominated. what instrument is female dominated? they'd all be male majority surely? harp perhaps?

it's just that in the ranks of classical musicians, there's a lot of women too. which seems unusual as there's not many competent female instrumentalists outside of the classical world, much less guitarists.

>>127481094
Women tend to excel at staying true to the course they're on, especially if they were pushed into it at an early age like most classical musicians. Rarely do they get a wild hair up their ass to pick up a shitplank to play power chords with the boys at 16yr old unless they're a pick me.

>>127481094
> what gave you that impression?
Because I know historically classical guitar was one of the instruments that was seen as "suitable" for women.
For modern day my perception isn't based on facts or data, but anytime I see examples of skilled classical guitar performance and such, like true top level, it's always a woman.
I pull my comparison mainly from piano, where there are women at the top level, but clearly more top level male players.

But yeah as you say, once you leave the world of classical music, highly skilled female instrumentalists seem rare if even existent in some cases.

Unskilled titty cleavage is all online women on electric guitar though.
The classical guitar chicks are always conventionally attractive (which is probably still why it gets attention) but at least dressed normally from what I've seen.

How old are the posters here to not have touched a classical guitar or to think it's dominated by women? I mean, I'm not trying to say I'm better. This is what I sounded like when I was 13... and you got to be 18 to post here, right?

I said this what I did it myself when I was young. I assume it here because it sounds like someone similarly deprived of any life experience. I'd hate to think you're adults and still this stupid. A more complimentary tone is that hopefully you're just young.

i bought a midrange cort acoustic like 5 years ago and when i went to pick it up, the house knocked my sinuses in with the sheer amount of spices in the air, he had an sri lankan wife and even after all this time, whenever the acoustic comes out of its case, it smells like smoked meats, paprika and stuff. its pretty nice. i guess the smells leaked into the unfinished wood inside the thing

>>127481421
i think it was a trick of the light, though that bridge was pretty worn. it was a mid 70s model and probably the only guitar I sorta regret selling, though I have a burny SG custom with 3 buckers now that I never play so whatever.. I do love the sound of les pauls and that one nailed all the classic chunk, but i do find the body a bit uncomfortable sticking into my gut..

those are strings, anything else?

>>127481441
Nothing wrong with them

>>127481443
Yeah seems like it's only a thing with acoustics, my electrics are way too covered up to smell like anything unless I stuck my nose into the pickup cavity

Because this board does the same thing with just about everything else. Like Gibson guys thinking other brands are for trannies.
I think all guitars are cool. Being a guitarist is one of the coolest thing ever, no matter the style. There's just shitty players - but not really shitty styles, in my opinion. That's my final say on it.

>>127481463
it's the open pore wood on the inside, just soaks up whatever is nearby. for mine, i assume he just had it on a stand in the room next to the kitchen for years.
you could probably poop inside one and leave it for a while, instant stankface when you start shredding licks

>>127481470
i also have one of these

>>127481492
Nice, what's the financial damage? Any real pic of the thing?

>>127481492
ormsby chad, carry on.
i always wantes one of the twisted future tele things they made

>>127481519
yeh i like the strat s style one as well. joe haley has one and he's a sick guitarist.

>>127481501
If I remember rightly it was about 1500 ozbucks on sale.

With the barring finger? If that's the case, try slightly rolling it so you're barring somewhat with the side of the finger closest to the thumb.

>>127481555
this is the way

It's nice how you can get ultra specced out guitars with fanned frets for barely a couple hundos in current year

>>127481544
very nice. let's see Paul Allen's guitar...

>>127481604
unironically better than a low end ibanez or LTD

>>127481604
yeah they look great, but I decided that active pickups sound like shit after hearing zakk wylde live.

>>127481604
Sure, with slave labor anything's possible.

>>127481622
Does anyone even make passive pick ups for 8 strings, I mean the bottom strings are basically bass strings

>>127481636
ormsby do. but yeah maybe actives are ok if you're gonna be doing the Tosin Abasi kinda thing.. desu the reason I got the goliath was to try some of that kind of playing and just generally for practicing around the house..

>>127481636
they exist, seymour duncan and dimarzio make them for some production models as well

>>127481624
made in america you dolt

>>127481669
Harley Benton? What makes you think they're USA? The "Harley" name? lol. They're Corktek contracted guitars for Thomann. Made by the same Chinese slaves most stuff is.

ESP is always quality and thats a dope color. Depends on price really

Based

I don't know how to put this in words. But I work in a small town music shop. Occasionally bands/well known artists come through and check out the gear, as we are outside of Nashville. It was almost closing time when the bell on the door jingled. I turned and saw this absolute hunk. I'm talking hunk, bros. Bulging muscles like marble come to life. He was wearing a sleeveless sack cloth shirt with the name Ornette Coleman written on the front with permanent marker. It looked like he made it himself. With cutoff Zubaz, and a yellow hat that said "you guys seein' this?". His hair was long. Unkempt .The room felt cold as soon as he entered. He didn't say anything. He walked to the acoustic room and picked up a Seagull parlor guitar and started playing a loose version of Round Midnight. I felt transported to another place. A happier place. He saw me listening and winked. All of a sudden he winced and slowly stood up. A stream of liquid sin, turned to a foam as it blasted through the fibers, like a reckoning long known. A sky blue ovation was filled with this putrid mistake. He had no reaction. He half smirked and said to nobody in particular, "I guess there really is no such thing as free jazz...". He walked out without apology. The apology was written by every scar, and every broken heart he caused and received on the road. As he got into his Astro Van, I knew he was fighting for me out there. In the cold and rain. I knew he would be out there somewhere.

>>127483210
You gonna suck his cock if you see him again?

>>127482913
Why don’t they have broken headstock issues?

>>127483294
you can find photos of them broken the exact same way. maybe the owners aren't as retarded and don't drop them

>>127483294
Les Pauls attract a certain type of person. It's the habits of the player, not a quality of a Les Paul.

apparently recording king is experiencing a renaissance in quality at a budget. they got bought out by alvarez (st louis music)

>>127483357
The break angle of the headstock is 100% a contributing factor there are just way fewer Gretsch's in wild, especially being gigged, and the angle is slightly less severe.

>>127483855
i've heard some luthiers say it's falling on the face that does it more so than falling on its back which has some truth to it via that video of the guy jumping on the fretboard and the headstock not breaking. i guess the nut shears it at the weakest spot next to the truss rod cutout

Grats to the op.
Are non standard tunings a real thing or is it just a clutch for people who can’t properly learn guitar so they basically make it easier to play random 5th intervals so it sounds good?

>>127483294
much smaller sample size
there's a few hundred gibsons for every gretsch

>>127484285
Robert Fripp has his own with new standard tuning, which seems to work for him.

>>127484285
there are some styles we simply couldn't imagine without alternate tunings such as delta blues and slide guitar. half step down is a crutch for vocalists and drop D tuning is a crutch for players to chug power chords. double drop D can be useful for playing unaccompanied and getting a bigger sound since you can just open strum but it's not far removed from open D tuning. capo is a crutch for bluegrass players and singer songwriters to use familiar chord shapes in new keys but bluegrass players are playing 16th notes at 140bpm+ for entire sets so it's forgivable. they all have their uses

>>127484470
>drop D tuning is a crutch for players to chug power chords
Not always. It serves Outlaw Country well, plus this song by Michael Landau is hardly just power chords:

https://youtu.be/YuhiitQWkk0

do you guys hear that

>>127484492
Here's another drop tuned banger: https://youtu.be/TTpyRCNbqy8

>>127484517
yeah, sorry

It's been almost a month since I've got my pedals and only today I've realised I've been hooking them up in the wrong direction. It didn't even cross my mind. I feel so stupid lol.

>>127484523
true i do love some outlaw country but i feel like drop D limits you to a handful of keys

>>127484551
all pedals are inherently japanese so it right to left

>>127484628
Only Boss is Japanese. Tube screamer and Fuzz face aren't.

literally every guitar by every brand is good with the exception of Ibanez

why does this thing exist

>>127484660
tube screamer is hella japanese breh, even the name has that charming 'jap speaking english' lilt

Ibanez schizo still seething

I don't know why but for some reason I was convinced the chain went from amp to guitar. Even if I realise how stupid that seems. And I was wondering why my od did jack shit after using it with distortion...

it's still a circuit though, not one way. power comes out of the amp, goes through the pedals, into the guitar, guitar creates signal and sends it all back.

hey guys but you're ruining my "last post", shift the melt down to other just as dead thread thank
