You don't need any of that and I reckon you'll learn a lot more exploring the fretboard yourself. It ain't rocket appliances kiddo.

>>127546907
Not much, haven't been practicing as much as I want to though

>splurge the extra on NOS preamp tubes
>no difference in tone
Don't fall for the scam.

new /gg/ thread wooo

>>127547028
Do people actually believe the kind of tubes used will change the tone? Other than dead tubes = dead tone obviously.

first for ibanez

>>127547034
oops wrong pic

>>127547028
I just stick with Brand™. i.e. Fender Groove Tubes. I don't know who really makes them. I think Czechs?

>>127547043
I was promised a difference due to some lost mojo or some shit over the years but honestly I'm not hearing or feeling literally any difference besides the price. Oh well at least they work.

So I really wanna buy a Pacifica and change just about every part. DeepSeek thinks it's a good idea.

>>127547043
if you get different brands of the same tube or equivalent tubes with different model numbers, there's different tolerances and whatnot that makes a difference.
i wonder if some players like tubes that aren't biased in pairs the same way people use out of phase pickup switching?

>>127547056
we were the audiophiles all along...

the thing that annoys me is you hear from every local store that tubes are hard to get and they never keep the common ones in stock beyond 1 or 2 units, but somehow amp manufacturers keep finding them by the tens of thousands to put in new amps every year

>>127547062
Terrible idea if you just want a guitar.
Decent idea if you want a little hobby project to keep you busy, but there are other better routes.

I wanted my guitar to be simpler and just turn on and ROCK so I took the neck pickup out and wired the bridge straight to the output jack. It still sounded like shit so I took the bridge pickup out, too. What should I remove next, my tone still isn't pure enough, I don't want to be like one of those fags with a million switches and 100 pedals

What can I remove from my amp to make it sound better as well? It's an orange rockerverb combo. Can I unhook one of the speakers and take a few tubes out?

>>127547078
I mean isn’t procuring enough tubes part of why they cost so much?

>>127547081
What are some better routes?
With parts and labour it would wind up in the $2000 CAD range.

>>127547078
Fender bought Groove years ago, but they don't manufacture them. But they can always insure getting tubes that way. I think EHX bought a tube company in Russia too, but now they've been screwed because of tariffs. I think it's more random from other makers.

>>127547083
tie a string between the bridge mount and the tuner, then you can REALLY feel the music with your one string slide guitar

>>127547028
>>127547043
>>127547052
>>127547063
>>127547091

it's just a vacuum triode, it's a transistor that's 100x more expensive and more likely to fail. tubefags forget that their heckin' vintage amp has a little thing called a tone stack and maybe that's where the tone comes from
maybe that's why leo fender - era - solid state musicman amps sound infinitely better than any tube marshall piece of shit, but gearfags think rusty broken down shit and technology from 80 years ago makes you sound better as long as it's more expensive. hey, i have a really old bridge in brooklyn to sell you clowns

>>127547083
are you ok?

>>127547094
Building it from scratch, obviously not the cutting and sanding but different neck different body essentially your own parted out frankenstein, the pacifica bones would be limiting unless you really like that shape and neck

>>127547099
if you're american i guess...
hey at least you're great again

>>127547142
1/10 too obvious

>>127547144
No, i'm suffering from tone loss and i'm not sure where it's coming from so I'm going to keep removing things until i figure out what the problem is

>>127547162
could be your tuning, you are tuning your A to 432Hz right?

>>127547142
Tone stack and the speaker, but tube tone coming from the literal tubes is complete snake oil

>>127547147
Everyone hates Russia except Russians though.
Err..and Indians. Yay.

>>127547154
>1/10 too obvious

The .047 microferret caps should be .044uf otherwise it's going to sound like you're playing guitar in a swimming pool full of jello but other than that, you look good to go

>>127547205
>all this gear
>vintage tuners
just get some modern locking ones you dolt

i would get a pickup switch too, not just the tip.

>>127547238

Do you guys tune up perfectly in-tune before you play?

>>127547224
Thanks. I have honestly felt like it might be overkill for what I hope is a decent sounding bridge P90 effort, but interest in the strat neck and middle really made me wish for everything to be in order and at its best.
>>127547235
The first item is a 5-way blade.
And I prefer vintage, as I actively dislike locking tuners. I just worry if it's the same footprint as the ones already on there.

You know, cuz I gotta change the nut, so might as well get tuners.

I want the saddles but I don't think a whole bridge assembly is necessary. Want heavy flatwounds because I miss the feel.

I'm without any instrument at the moment, and this is all just an accumulation of everything I want in one package.

>>127547286
Yes

>>127547286
I play in an AMM cover band so if I did it would kinda defeat the purpose

>>127547263
I just found out Rick has hapa kids
It's over

>>127547286
Yes. With a strobe tuner not no middle of the mall clip on shit.

>>127547083
Remove enough unnecessary stuff and you should end up with something like this.

>>127547312
My tech taught me a "trick" to make clip ons work for even intonating. He said to tune up slightly sharp on those, then winding very slightly down to pitch.
Whatever he did, it works.

>>127547331
>he needs a volume knob

>>127547384
I mean, I'm a step away from starting with nothing and all that, but I mostly just like Pacificas. Specifically their routing for the pickups I want.

Elliot missed his calling of being the Tim Henson of our times instead of Tim Henson himself.

Yeah, that's just weird bro.

>>127547772
whats on your mind bud you seem tense

Saw this massive lad leaving a Burger King as I pulled into a GC parking lot (they are in the same shopping center, basically next to each other). He was wearing a Grateful Dead t-shirt, and a hat that said "don't duck the smoke, cowboy. I want everything you got". I was thinking no way it's him. He walked into the gc and I went in as well. I was about 50 feet away when he reached the entrance. He held the door. Nobody was there. I realized he was holding it for me. It was extremely awkward because I kind of half walked jogged. He smirked and let out a half laugh half sigh as I passed. He said "your welcome?". I was taken aback and kept stammering, as he kept lunging at me and holding his fist up. He told me "you ain't him"?? I proceeded to the acoustic room and tried out the ovations. Was chill after the strange encounter. I saw him through the glass door. He was plugging a telecaster into a Blues jr. He played a simple melodic performance of the amazing grace melody at full volume. It's like he was forcing the staff to ask him to leave. Which is what happened. It felt very punk rock.

>>127547527
I see your cutting and raise you no hardware...or strings.

i'd love to know why it's not a good idea to start making tubes outside of ex-soviet shitholes.
Seems like a good way to corner a market and get a lot of loyal customers.

>>127548167
probably kills 5-10% of the workforce every year from toxic materials

>>127548188
Oh, I didn't even consider that. I guess that makes sense.
Imagine how many Russians and Chinamen died to give us TOAN.

>>127548203
Only you can increase that number.
Buy a tube amp today!

Here's the revised list of mods. Although I knocked the capacitors off the list--- I'm gonna need some for the tone knob push-pull pot to activate a strangle switch that works over all three pickups.

>>127548188
Toxic materials?

Help me out anons

>>127548358
go for the most affordable but versatile option

Fuck it. I'll just get this.

any strat players that only use the middle pickup?

>>127548414
best pickup for very clean cleans

>>127548358
Which MIJ? Do you have to pay imports on it?

>its almost impossible
>froooosh
nigga this shit is easy. there's one pinky stretch that i need to get a little cleaner and i'll post a voc like tomorrow morning with my coffee
motherfuckers making a big deal out of this basic shit, i cant believe i avoided this for so long because of you niggers
i already got an accompaniment improvised and ready to track over it
fuckin amateurs up in here
(Note: I am apparently black for this post)

>>127548596
Alright bro, looking forward to that voca

>>127548596
Is this some sort of hyper meta post?

>>127548601
Jokes aside it's not too bad. The pinky up to the b is a little sloppy at speed but with a tiny bit of effort ill have it.

>>127548615
the chords aren't the problem my guy its the picking pattern and dynamics.
If you think the chord changes are the issue oh boy.

>>127548635
picking pattern is easy. its not the chord changes, the last pinky hammer-on is a little messy and I need to clean up the stretch.

who tf thinks anything RHCP is difficult?
its literally the band you learn songs from in middle school

>>127547211
I watched Hawkins on yt for a bit. Then I stop because he was gassing up that fat nonbinary fuck while shitting of Froosh. What a faggot.

>>127548539
Here's a screencap of the MIJ

>>127548753
lmao

nta who beat his chest above but he made me try it
he's right its not bad, i got it to 3/4 speed with just a little sloppiness within 15 minutes or so
https://vocaroo.com/1hJjsOoSInBa
forgive the slightly out of tune im trying to quietly play next to my gf and i couldnt hear well until i played it back

>>127548698
lets hear your voca tough guy

>>127548819
you're weeks away from having this right

>>127548885
sorry but no. a few hours of slow practice at most.

>>127548893
You aren't even picking correctly but ok.

>>127548897
lol k kiddo. I'm sorry this is hard for you.
he plays it quick, so quick i think the two consecutive strings are economy picked with a single downstroke, but thats a detail i can work out with a little time
a few hours to get it clean. maybe a few days to get it to speed.

Laughing at the one guy super defensive because he thinks its a hard song.
It's a fun intermediate lick.

>>127548916
its not hard but its not some easy lick, you are missing far more than just the economy picking. Lets hear it again in a month so I can hear your fucked up dynamics and retarded hammeron

>>127548925
Please understand that Frooshtard is a frooshtard

>>127548930
lol!

>>127548930
Don't get pissy with me I'm not the one who was being a dick I just thought I'd give it a try since y'all were talking about it
It's really not that hard m'guy, just takes practice like anything else.

>>127548936
you're like the kids i teach who say they learned a song when they played the first 10 seconds of the chorus lmao.

>>127548952
You don't teach anybody. You're crying about a lick I learned when I was 14 because it has a scawwy hammewwon
Anon is right it's not hard, pussy

>>127548958
You didn't learn it if thats how you are playing it lmao.

>>127548961
I don't think you're capable of following the fact that there's more than one person talking to you.
I am not the person who posted the voc. Nor the person who posted the original boast.
I am just commenting to tell you that you're a boldfaced liar who has never taught a day in his life, especially if you think this is any kind of challenging beyond intermediate level.
Voc anon was right, it's economy picked with a hammer on. That's it. He needs to clean it up. That's it.
Stop crying and projecting your lack of ability on the general.

>>127548990
And let me just point the finger right back at you you uppity nigger because I said exactly what you are saying now learn to read. >>127548930
He's making it seem like some beginner lick that you can just learn in an hour, its not. We've proven this.

Hahaha the one guy is still whining about TRUST ME GUYS ITS SO HARD

Its harder than anything you'll ever play.

>>127549007
>He's making it seem like some beginner lick that you can just learn in an hour, its not. We've proven this.
Holy shit let me be clear about this a third time, all I did was give it a try since you guys were talking about it, and it doesn't seem too hard.
That's all I said.
Go yell at the other faggot who was acting black

i want to try now brb looking at the tab

Guitar+Keys+Bass is superior to Guitar+Guitar+Bass vor 2*Guitar+Keys+Bass

>>127549029
dude fucking Marty Music does a lesson on it
it's pretty easy

>>127549045
HAHAHA anon is crying about a Marty Music lick?
Wow this general has fallen

idk maybe like a day or two 30 minute sessions
yeah couple hours sorry my guy its pretty easy
https://voca.ro/1fGfGyEwdeaC

>>127549051
Sloppy as all fuck dude I highly doubt thats your first time playing it. Am I taking crazy pills here or is everyone just retarded?

>>127549058
Let it all out buddy

>>127549051
Right? You played it a lot faster than I did and I'm 100% sure I could still have it up to speed in a few days.

>>127549058
You keep crying about sloppy when people are showing you their first attempts
You're just bad, man. Maybe guitar isn't for you.

wait
wut?
so its that shitty dani california riff (again) except with some twiddly hammer-ons and pull-offs?

m8
get a grip
if were gonna go "muh froosh", learn cant stop. thats at least something hes actually good at: muting all strings except the one hes playing, and then hitting all of them anyways as hard as he can

>>127549076
Yeah his strumming is fucking legend I don't get why people talk about Snow so much

You guys, you're gonna make him cry.

>>127549076
here is dont stop as played by smacking my belly
https://voca.ro/12frKOwJ9ogY

also if you like the weird twiddly clean stuff, get on leonard dembo

Hour 13 of Scotty West behind me
That was a stupid fucking hour, I didn't need him to go out of his way to show me how to finger individual parts of the scale I already know how to finger.
This course is for slow people. Music is easy.

>>127549106
there are definitely some parts where it gets a little slow

>>127549088
>Yeah his strumming is fucking legend
its just dat punk rock shit
hes just playing it clean on other music
rly ez to learn. just go play a lotta basement shows. then turn the distortion off and get a compressor instead

but yea thats at least what i think of muh froosh
hes a very distinct rhythm player
like his leads on de-loused were cool (and arguably perfect for that spot in the album), but it rly is just noodling. hes not a particularly inspired lead player. frankly i think omar mogs him in that battle, and omar literally doesnt have the faintest idea what hes doing

>>127548698
Play the snow riff full speed on repeat for three minutes then mister guitarist.

>>127549106
just start trying to learn everything you hear now
its mostly gonna line up with some scale
thats how you ACTUALLY git gud

What do I do if I'm better at the music than the guitar?

John does it with thumbing and fast alternate picking, which is pretty cool.
My 2c.

>hits multiple notes
yea but can you hit ONE note, rly rly rly hard for the whole song?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiRXkYUim_c
bet not
you guys are probably even in tune

my favorite solo in classic rock is just one note played over and over for 90 seconds

>>127549164
learn different instruments music on guitar
or just learn piano or a wind instrument or something

>>127549184
Ronno - Moonage Daydream. No boomer bended more.

>>127549184
thats the neil young™
he copyrighted it like A FUCKING LEAF too the scheisty bastard (fripp did it better in starless anyways)

what i posted was more a modified neil young™, and rly more of an intro to bob mould (mould 101)

>>127549195
kudos for calling it my guy

>>127549198
well of course its neil, he does it a lot lol
and he doesnt bend it usually. which is brave. or stunning. or somethin.

Neil does it, and is known for it, but he never melted faces with it like Ronson.

i think I like Neil's kind of spaghetti westernish tremolo heavy soundtrack for the movie Dead Man more than his usual playing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkG7P8i64x8

>>127549215
i rly like his solos when he got hired specifically as lead for crosby stills and nash. i think they were right. hes rly gud. shits mean af
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=as5lE64J1hQ

but yea. duh.
ronsons better. no shit.
but cmon lol. thats not a fair fight

>>127549224
yea this guy gets it. his vibrato is like if your hand started oscillating uncontrollably. its retarded. rly dynamic picking (helps when ur hitting one note forever)

>>127549239
>yea this guy gets it.
lol I'm the same guy pushing Ronson.
But I love Neil too. Sorry for not making that clear.

>>127549250
oh i dont think neils the best
hes just the OG one note guy
frankly i think bob mould is the better one note guy cuz he hits one note (twice) the whole time while playing a song under it (and soloing sometimes somehow lol)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQKEO8ViajU
thats the moneyshot

Neil's playing on Weld and Ragged Glory is some of the best soloing in rock music, I'll die on this hill

I'm a Rust Never Sleeps and After The Gold Rush guy myself.
I learned every song on Live Rust at one point
Needle and The Damage Done is my favorite song of all time and Cortez The Killer is rated right where it should be as the most expressive rock solo of all time.

I didn't know this board stanned my guy Neil so hard, he is my family's favorite musician. Inspired my dad to learn to play, and he taught me to play using Neil songs. My first song I played with bandmates was Heart of Gold. I've seen the man live 3 times.
I have never been more proud of /gg/.

>No Neil vocs
Don't make me go fire up my other computer

Life advice? Heres some advice, when fucking a hooker be sure to use a condom and don't overpay.

Are commercial IRs really worth it?
How can they make a big difference when basically everyone and every manufacturer just uses the same 3-4 celestion speakers anyway as well as the same 4-5 or so mics and simulations of those come with every digital amp already?

>>127549413
https://voca.ro/1mkSlyVUYeBs

>>127549424
how does anything make a real difference? Idk maybe tone really is in the fingers....

Is this the best option for reverb on a budget?

>>127550147
Never used it. I'm sure it's OK. Looks like it has nice features for that price. I like these reverbs that have a bit of extra modulation or delay on some settings. Saves space if those suit you.

>>127550185
Yeah features are what's drawing me towards it. This is gonna be my only reverb for a while though and since those are much more difficult to get right on a budget, I don't wanna get something that'll leave me unsatisfied. Wish my local used market wasn't so shit.

>>127549637
this guy gets it

>>127550219
It has more features than mine. I use an MXR verb. But it has an "Epic" setting with a bit built in delay and slight modulation that I like, so I don't need to use a delay pedal...at least for spacey type of stuff. But that one looks like it has Reverb+Delay+ various effects which is pretty cool.

Did Ibanez schizo an hero

>>127550327
who is Ibanez schizo?

>>127550327
Did we ever have one of those

>be me
>actual schizo
>never gets accused of being schizo

I only buy Ibanez

>>127550327
the strain was just more than he could bear, i'm afraid

>>127550287
Yeah in terms of options for the price it's hard to beat. Did read something about a massive volume drop though which I'm not a fan of. Also thinking I should just skip the budget and go for an ehx or something.

>>127550338
Ibanez Schizo is not a person. It's a concept.
It's the delusion that Ibanez could ever be as good as the originals.

>>127550327
the guy who freaks out over seeing one? probably

Gibson fucked up focusing on rock too much. Ibanez has Benson and Pat Metheny sigs. How did that even happen.

>>127550441
the F style mandolin is gibsons magnum opus

>>127550487
The category Gibson utterly mogged Martin at, so Martin quit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4syA9aNnNa0

>>127550441
Gibson only gives a shit about selling $2k guitars to boomers for $6k and up. They'll float out custom models (like the RD) under the guise that if they sell well, they'll release a standard at half the price sometime in the future, as if the people pinching pennies to buy a standard are going to shell out 3x as much money for the custom because it's their only option. Even their on-roster artists have to pay for guitars, though I've heard of them giving away freebies to touring bands just to get the image out there but the artists I'm referencing aren't affiliated outside of being gifted sixers. My explorer is the best playing guitar I've ever owned but it took months of trying multiple different models across multiple different years to find one that played well and wasn't a QC nightmare. They're a marketing company that makes guitars and they are VERY good at the first part.

I sure wonder how gibson is going to stay afloat in 20 years when rock continues to get even more dead and no one grows up playing a les paul

>>127550540
If they "marketed" to all kinds of musicians, I think they'd have a great future. Just because you never know what people will like.
Not that guitarists are ignorant, but it helps. And for pros, it helps that company goes the extra mile for you and customs your stuff... Which is probably why a guy like Benson long ago went to Ibanez. They bent over backwards for him.

>>127548697
save up and get the ehx cathedral instead

Bill for EHX does the best demoes.
80s Gilmour still rocked. Don't care what anyone says.

>>127550540
Anime and Hollywood will continue glorifying LPs so that might give them another 5 to 10 years.

Old beat up Fenders (maybe yours) will exist in the future cyberpunk hellscape. Not sure about Gibson.

>>127550512
i'll drink to that

can't afford a gibson les paul, so I'll buy and ibanez af75 instead

>>127550668
Once Bocchi season 2 comes out, it's gonna be Yamaha flying off the shelves.

My local shop was trying to sell me a lawsuit Ibanez. It was actually kind of cool. Very thin and light, but Les Paul shaped (maybe sharper horn).

Ah it was like this. It had this weird carved top too.
I'd never buy it, but it sounded good.

>>127550784
Stoked for you tele bro. Sorry you had to wait an extra day and I hope my shitpost didnt cause too much anxiety

>>127550789
Looks more like a post lawsuit model, the actual lawsuit ones were straight copies

>>127550829
That's actually a good price. Offer them $500 cash if it plays well and has a straight neck. If you even want it that is

I suppose it's not brazillian if that's cheap. But that looks cool anyways.

>>127550953
That's just some rando I got off google, but yeah those are great if you can find one in good conditions

Still no idea who that is or what the gif is trying to convey

for me its the classic telecaster

gif generators, low effort individuals and their consequences have been a disaster for this site

Korea seems to have many good guitarists, but all their music industry pushes is kpop. Kind of sad. What are we missing out on, rock wise?

>>127551111
>>127551143
> nacoco
Female guitarists distilled.
Nothing wrong with fapping to sluts, same for sluts with guitars. But everyone pretending like ability plays the slightest role in why people watch this is pure cancer.
> "No look how talented she is, what a shredder virtuoso!"

>>127551230
The have the same problem as every other guitarist, they can't write songs

>>127551230
kpop/idol culture is specifically designed to keep people undergoing societal cock and ball torture from an heroing.
the korean work/life balance in the cities is one of the worst in the world, so they keep people entertained with the new religion (kpop) so they stay distracted from how shitty their soul crushing office jockey jobs are. It's just an evolution of jpop idols groups, but taken to the extreme.

>>127551240
>fun hole front and center
I understand selling out but one can do so while maintaining their integrity.

>>127551240
eh i find her more tolerable than mimisounds considering she doesn't try to deny what she's doing for views

>>127551306
This bothers you in this age where women make millions of dollars flaunting their asshole on the internet, and being proud of it?

>>127551289
this extends to gradeschool work/life balance as well, with the average korean highschooler typically spending 8 hours in normal school classes with another 3-6 hours at cram school (not counting homework).
that's really not a setting that is viable for young people to figure out musical expression, especially when the culture is more about study and rote memorization than artistic growth. korea just copies a lot of stuff from japan and the US and turns it into the worst turboaids version imaginable.

>>127551314
I mean yeah I agree. I was mostly talking about the people watching it attempting to filter that through some feminist bullshit trying to say that these sluts are so talented.
It goes without saying that it is much more respectable to do what nacoco does by making it obvious and clear from her end that she is selling guitar flavoured softcore porn.
And by extension most other guitar sluts on youtube who feign ignorance over what they are obviously doing are simply detestable.

>>127551321
Yes. The degradation of society and morals bothers me.

I like Racer X's version because it reminds me of playing Double Dragon on NES at the neighbor's house when I was a kid.

Not a big fan of Dokken otherwise, but Lynch is awesome.

>>127551804
Great track. I like their live album, Beast From the East.

Man the old Music Man JP models were so nice.
I like DT, but the new models and the majesty just look like extremely expensive pieces of DT merchandise. Even in the hands of Petrucci.

>>127551804

(It's Paul Gilbert)

>>127551918
I know. No disrespect. But I haven't heard that track. I've only heard the Technical Difficulties album.

>>127551918
idk if I've ever seen paul with a hairline before
but then again with those bangs he still might not have one

>>127551933
Paul has never played on anything that isn't worth listening to at least once imo. He even wrote some neoclassical shit to try to get malmsteen to collab with him, but he never bothered getting back to Paul about it so he just played it to a small room of guitar students instead kek. https://youtu.be/R00MCrCf-dg

>>127551973
idk why paul's guitar schlockery is so much more palatable to me than say satch, vai or malmsteen.
somehow it just feels so much less pretentious and devoid of masturbatory rhythms

>>127551996
It's the space suit

>>127551996
Paul just has fun and loves playing. He's also a good songwriter. He's always been one of my favorites because he's incredibly humble despite being one of the best to ever pick up a guitar. His joy is contagious and you can always see it in his face. This is the malmsteen thing I referenced https://youtu.be/_dNxshHlp4w

>>127551973
I'd be sweating balls in an astronaut suit. Especially the drummer.
I didn't even realize Racer X went back to the 80s. I'll have to look into it.

>>127551973
>>127551996
PGs style is much more intertwined with solid, basic rhythms and frankly musically more interesting and diverse, even if it is harmonically more simple than Vai and Satriani.
I can, as a guitarist admire Gilberts high level of skill and execution and still show it to non musician friends and have them tap their foot to it.

At least that is my take on it based on my personal experience.

Take 1; I've only recently tried recording but it is a great improvement tool as others have said. Eye opening and soul crushing, really need to clean up my widdly wees.
Here's the backing track if anyone wants to play along https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Na9VFuIPq0

>>127552036
>>127551996
I think it's because he actually cares about the other musicians he's playing with and doesn't try to be the center of attention 100% of the time.
he can throw down a better groove without the compulsion to splooge all over it like the other "virtuosos"

>>127551918
They look so cool...

what's wrong with Ibanez?

>>127552979
Who knows.
But something must be something wrong with them, otherwise they'd be Gibson.

>>127552979
what's right with ibanez?

>>127553069
The Prestige series, I guess.

cheap ibanez's are great platforms for upgrades

At what point did he change his name to Juan?

>>127553164
who knows
it might have always been juan
the band's agent or whatever could have swapped it around a few times (or vice versa)

>>127553069
Ask fender, they contracted fujigen to make rg clones in an attempt to gain a foothold in the metal market back in the early 90's.
