Thanks bruv, the feeling is mutual with your new tele. I'm trying to buy another but getting the seller to respond to messages has been a nightmare so far.

>Stripped of their pickguards and loaded with exotic tremolo systems and high-gain humbuckers, these guitars were made to be played loud and fast. Some were homemade parts Strats, hot-rodded in garages across America. Others were mass-produced impersonators. In 1988, Fender introduced the first model worthy of its headstock: the HM Strat.
Wow what a fancy way of saying "we failed the consumer by refusing to offer humbuckers for decades, so they and the market went elsewhere to have their demands met"

kinda sad how no one makes guitar music anymore and when they do it's all impossible to learn 8 string djen/shred hybridmania because at this point that's all that gets people that still listen to guitar music in 2025 horny

>>127613060
I just play fast power chords and pentatonic solos and don't care.

>>127613060
Your view of the musical zeitgeist is region-locked anon. South america and asia still have plenty of real guitar music.
And even in America, Country exists and some of it is very guitar-centric

>>127613060

keep me posted on the headstock painting, I wanna see how it comes out

>>127613179
isn't this photo deprecated? i thought you were painting your headstock!

>>127613060
I mean guitar is used a ton in contemporary music, it's role has just changed.
Solos are kinda tired; they just aren't mainstream anymore.

>>127613179

This is one of my favorite collections on gg (no homo)

>>127613060
it's out there you just need to look. check out dangerous intentions (patterns) album, it's a little older but very good electro funk or whatever you want to call it. bryan sutton is still making some albums if you like bluegrass and is touring with billy strings atm.

>>127613127
vkei is more of a aesthetic than a genre, any guitar could work. PATA has probably had a hundred guitars at this point.

Today I bought a used Marshall 20 watt Silver Jubilee head and an old Carvin solid state bass amp to destroy with feedback loops

>>127613385
hell yeah

>>127613237
Yeah, this is a slightly older pic. I put a little scratch on the logo decal when smoothing it out.. I’m going to let it slide for now but if I Bork it any further I’ll probably sand it down and start over. Luckily the entire neck had a satin finish so I didn’t have to sand much to lay down the vinyl sealer, so if I do have to start over there’s plenty to work with.

>>127613165
I flipped the white one on Saturday, that pic was just taken before I flipped it
>>127613179
After you’re done with the headstock you’ve got to paint matching competition stripes on all of them like the compstang

>>127613385
very nice choices. can we see them?

>>127613290
Thanks man. I probably come off as a bit of a gear queer but I really only over indulge on instruments because the more I have the more I play. I am forcing myself to stop buying for a while and enjoy what I have, and record some of the music I’ve written since I started expanding the collection last year. Last year this time I had 5 guitars, now I have 15 not counting acoustics lol..

>>127613536
I need to think about downsizing electrics, I don’t need as many as I have

>>127613536
How many acoustics?

Post Malone is good and I'm tired of hating on him

>>127613543
I'm moving to BOSS city.

>>127613493
That sounds like a dangerous task as cool as it would look. I do want to experiment with refinishing poly but I’ll definitely be trying it on a Bullet Mustang when I do. I’m thinking I’ll take my old surf blue Bullet and paint it TV yellow with a matching headstock and comp stripe in black.

Dudes ugly but I have respect for him keeping guitar in the mainstream
As far as pop goes his music isn't that bad either - formulaic but what pop music today isn't.

>>127613580
Three currently, an old ass Yamaha FG-410 (my first guitar, pictured above), a black Yamaha FX-355C from the late aughts, and a budget Indian Yamaha I bought in Traverse City to help out a small music store that I leave at the cottage I have up there. I know, I should really factor in a good acoustic and have been wanting a 00-15 but I don’t play acoustic much and keeping getting distracted with fender offsets. I really should though, many of my first worthwhile songs were written on the abomination above.

>>127613741
acoustisonic sounds like the guitar for you

Too much horror business

>>127613741
I've been putting off buying a good acoustic for most of my life. I just don't play one enough and when I do, it's for camping and to the beach. Buying used electrics to unfuck is more fun anyway. Just get another fender, you know you want to.

>>127613741
yes, a good acoustic will do you well

>>127613694
poorfags gonna poorfag

>>127613741
Me too. I’ve got an old Takamine and an even older dirt cheap garage sale fine Franciscan but even when I get the bug to buy something nice I never do. I like playing electric and for all of my acoustic needs those are fine. It’s hard to justify spending Martin money when I already hardly play my acoustics, but spending that same money on an electric isn’t that big of a deal to me because I play electric all the time

True, I wish there was a J-rock general here.

>>127613763
I had one of the OG Stratacoustics back in the day. They’re just a bit too Inbetween for me. I haven’t played the modern ones but I really don’t care for the aesthetic. One thing I will give the old Stratacoustic is that the neck legitimately felt like a Strat neck, or at least a decent MIM Strat neck.

where the fuck is count gutula at

When Fender approaches me to make a guitar like they did Kurt:
shape: symmetrical double cutaway Telecaster
bridge: modern 2 point strat trem
neck: chunky C with 12 inch radius, stainless steel jumbo frets. maple fretboard. strat headstock shape, only Fender logo
Electronics: Exposed HB in bridge, strat pickup in neck. Cream plastics. no pickguard, pups mounted in the tonewood. 3 way switch, master vol and tone. aesthetic silver switch to split the humbucker.
tonewood: alder
finishes: black or vintage white
price: 3500 dollars

>>127614067
KEK

>>127614093
Thank God we're dodging this bullet

>>127614093
Based, I'll take one in white.

if gibson approaches me for a custom guitar, it's going to be a semi hollow, neck-thru flying V with a bigsby. curly maple body in violin burst with slotted peghead tuners. humbucker in the neck and middle wired out of phase like a strat. $3499

the only sponsorship i'd accept is kiesel

the shape is good if fender or squier did a run of DC telecasters it would sell big league

>>127614201
semi hollow v?
is that a thing?
and a v with a bigsby?
is this an AI prompt?

>>127614218
Nta but you can do whatever you want with a neckthru

prompt: an aspiring Metal band that are dyslexic and tune their instruments up instead of down, and turn the gain and volume down instead of up. the singer whisspers instead of shouting and they end up accidentally creating a great genre

>>127614218
i'm not ai i just tried to think of the most outlandish thing i could but im really curious what it would look like

>>127614210

They already have one in Nashville config

>>127614680

Natural

my friend you do not understand guitar, i play for 17 years (since age 12, i am 19 now). the tone is not from finger or amp, is from wood vibration. mahogany have the sustain like violin, alder is cheap because it float in water. if you want metal you must use floyd rose because it double note, is science. many people stupid think pedal do distortion but no, distortion come from string gauge, i use 13s in drop D# standard. learn from me, i play stairway intro PERFECT with only 2 fingers. also i invent technique called "reverse hammer pick", is faster than shred but you probably not ready for that yet.

i have a black hyundai strat with a bad case of forward neck that can't be correctted because the truss rod bolt is stripped, so my "fix" was to raise the saddles because the high action prevents fret buzz. not worth the photo, desu

On the topic of colors, Belair Blue would be perfect if the bottom was slightly less dark.

>>127614745
jazz guitar is easy, my friend, you only need know secret chord. it is called “minor 7” once you play this, everybody say you sound like wes montgomery. important: never use pick, always finger because pick kill the jazz tone. also string must be flat wound .14 gauge or more, if not you cannot play real jazz. for amp, only use clean channel but turn bass full, treble off, mids half, this is official jazz setting. remember: in jazz there is no wrong note, only wrong player.

>>127615090

yeah that's the industry. everyone uses the same circuits. there's no reason a klon is any better than the $100 knockoffs other than hype.

>>127614665
Lmao

>>127615283
>i mean that's basically his entire bag though
And he’s based for it, he takes pedals that are near unobtainable due to production or price and makes them available for the masses while also demystifying them.

i like this scotty guy but damn this first lesson was painfully slow. i knew 90% of the first lesson but i didn't want to skip anything

>>127615343
i don't disagree im just saying its weird to get upset over. then again we are talking about the mentally deranged

>>127615352
He's framing the entire series off the idea that the student is either completely new to music or has very little understanding of theory. It picks up even though it has the classic "one take wonder" with 1990's cadence vibe to it. I find it charming personally.

>>127615423
i agree i was just getting antsy. how deep does this go into theory exactly?

>>127615394
troons are perpetual victims, no surprise by me

>>127615471

>>127615343

NTA but I've been playing a good while and knew most of the material from the first 6 lessons or so. I still sat through them and gleaned bits and pieces here and there. He paints a very complete picture, more complete than most, but you have to go for the ride.

>>127618357
I bet it plays just fine after that drop, might even still be in tune

I bet I don't give a single shit.

>>127615214
This sounds plausible. Not a fan of JHS, I find them overpriced and lackluster but I do enjoy the content they make for YouTube and Josh seems like a decent enough guy.

>>127618759
They've always been overpriced but their prices have kept up with inflation. A LP standard today costs the same as it did in the 90's when adjusted, picrel. While their quality control couldnt be more inconsistent, their pricing always has been kek. Not accounting for the fake relic jobs and mod shop memes of course.

“Inflation” is real, the cause of it isn’t.

>>127616345
I traded my Jagstang for an early 60s Teisco back in the day. It was a plank of planks (honestly they both were, but the Jagstang was obviously a bit better and more serviceable). That Teisco was a total piece of shit, but illl be damned if it wasn’t pure vibe. It had a natural finish with black pickguard and a bigsby. I forget which model, maybe a Del Rey? I pawned it for $20 when I was strung out.

>>127619301
That’s just lawyer speak for if you pull a burning hot guitar or ice cold guitar with nitro finish out of a case and expose it to a sudden temperature change it’ll crack the finish and they’re not responsible. It’s fine to open it now.

>>127619313
Yeah again please tell me how the cheapest model in current year is $1600 due to """inflation"""

>his guitar is made out of bASSwood
LOL!
Ash, mahogany, or at the very least Alder. If it isn’t one of those three you might as well give up.

>>127619323
Eddie Van Halen played one of those on finish what ya started

Basswood for more bass, everyone knows this dude you're embarrassing yourself

>>127619341
Poplar is popular, too.

Inflation calculators aren’t accurate and they didn’t cost 800 dollars in 2010.

>>127619295
>$800
Maybe for a faded or a used model, but there were $1400 studios in 2010 as well.

The faded studios were definitely about $800 and the fancier ones were a little more than that, but didn't they discontinue the faded series so you more or less have to spend 1.6k for any studio?

Survey time: what tonewoods do you have guitars made out of?

>>127619398
That’s even more confusing. I have no idea what Canadian money was worth then. All I’m saying is they’ve actually gotten cheaper over the years. The main problem with the 2010 era is gibsons were selling like dogshit and they had to keep their prices low to meet low demand. After they fixed most of their QC issues the prices went back up but still not as much as they were in the 90s relatively.

>>127619433
My guitar is alder with a maple neck and fretboard.

>>127619438
On average even at par everything was 40-50 percent more expensive in Canada.,

>>127619433
poplar body and maple neck, I had no idea what it was made of I just looked it up

>>127619423
I mean yeah probably, that would definitely be a Gibson move, much like them "re-issuing" the RD with Custom Shop being the only option. I was just pointing out that base model studios were $1400 in 2010, the lower trim variants were certainly cheaper. They shouldn't be that much to begin with but a $300 increase over the course of 15 years isnt insane by any means.

Toan for days

>>127619516
btw the $1600 studio is their cheapest model, others go up to 2000 or 2200, which used to be the price point of standards

>>127619551
Walnut?

>>127619583
Yeah you are 100% better off buying a used studio from the 90's if you're in the market for one. Granted I always advocate for buying used first whenever possible anyway.

>>127619605
Why would I want a guitar made out of nuts smdh

At what point does a guitar stop being depreciated as old used good and starts gaining value as vintage good?

>>127619659
The fewer number of people still alive that were born the year it was made = more valuable. We are the same distance today in 2025 to guitars made in 1995 as people in 1995 were to guitars made in 1965, yet guitars from the 1990s don’t have nearly the wow factor as ones from the 1960s. People say 25 years is vintage but nobody thinks do guitars from 2000 as vintage guitars.

>>127619693
Will today's guitars ever be vintage?

one for the ibanez sisters

>>127619872
in a couple hundred years definitely

>>127616562
Once every couple of months I’ll carry them out to the air compressor and use a blower tip with regulator to dust them off and then give the finish a wipe down with a clean microfiber cloth

>>127619872
in 25 years, that's the cutoff

something about this woman(?) looks so repulsive

>>127619693
Because times are much faster nowadays. Although zoomers have discovered that era in fashion and music they won't buy some shitty guitars from that era. They probaby were either some edgy trash models aimed to schoolshooters or just vacuous versions of boomer guitars you already had 30 years earlier.
Also guitar fags are the most reactionary people i know. No innovations are accepted so not even pioneering instruments in like the last 4 decades are as interesting as some plank of wood from the 50s.

Nice anon. I’d prefer it with a rhythm circuit but it looks good. Not usually a fan of flame tops but it works for this one

>>127619980
maybe this is more your speed

>>127620019
Would've prefered the classic layout too but after i first saw that type of design on pic related 10 years ago i fell in love with that ocean look. The price was obviously out of reach.

>>127620031
Ah yes another repulsive woman

>>127620031
anyone that looks like an actual woman in your folder?

>>127619970
I like how the headstock matches her nose

>>127612265
Sure, but which kind of red?
I think CAR looks the sexiest for sure.

grand piano strings
steel guitar strings were originally just modified piano strings anyways

>>127620067
am I the only one that thinks abalone inlay kinda always looks dookie on anything but acoustics?

>>127620083
just for you anon

>>127613801
My bathroom is new :o

>>127620231
no, mother of pearl is goated and abalone looks cheap and garish most of the time

It looks even worse on acoustics as natural wooden colours are so dominant.

One of the acoustic solos of all time

for me, its the bucket les paul

>>127620317
sounds like a strat more than an acoustic guitar

>>127620303
I think the natural visually warmer woods (spruce, mahogany) are what look nicer with it, especially contrasting large, flat spruce tops.
I don't like it on lectrics, esp. dark/cool colored ones

>>127620342
Never been a fan of spruce's very light colour in general. Cedar looks so much better. Sad that you have no choice anyways.

>>127620334
Erm it is a strat (kind of.) The original song is acoustic.

>>127620403
love sitka spuce
all light woods can be stained though, most violins have spruce tops despite being browns/reds

when did stevie t become ggs persona?

>>127620490
He's lame and retarded

>>127620490
once he joined the kiesel gang he fit right in here

>>127620490
I don't know who that is

i kinda want a whammy bar though

>>127620511
you misspelled *canadian

>>127620519
you can pick up just the bar from sweetwater for like 10 bucks

>>127620512
ggs is full of shizos and mustang twinks

I'll never get a Gibson until they change he headstock design

>>127620551
Just get an explorer because that is never happening

>>127620551
they don't care

>>127620551
just get any with a maple neck
mahogany being soft is actually more of an issue than the headstock angle

>>127620558
they'll care when boomers finally die and stop buying their retarded 50s designs

>>127620561
I can't wait for boomers to die so I can pick up a 74 les paul custom (black or white) for $800

bit too much neck dive, but seating it's great

my custom guitar would be jaguar pick ups on a tele body, plus the deluxe control scheme with a 10-way blade switch just as an easier way to get all/most of the tones out of offset guitar

>>127620561
Dudes like trogly spend $30k+ on pre-beat-to-shit "special edition reissues" all the time and it's weird hearing his justifications for their prices. The majority of their customers are boomers, sure, but young money is learning how to throw it away just the same.

>>127620465
>all light woods can be stained though
Of course but you can still see the cheap looking grain of the softwoods.

>>127620320
baritone?

>>127620690
Yeah he plays 27" scale

Knaggs vs. Kiesel

Looks dope. Parts guitar?

Ohhh who'll love Aladdin Sane?

>>127620653
"cheap looking wood"
idk mang, super straight and tight grain spruce has always looked premium to me

>>127621231
Everything cheap in construction is made with softwoods and that's the association i have with it. The grain of hardwoods looks more pleasant to my eye.

The guitar I ordered from EGA guitars from the Sweetwater Exchange still hasn't shipped. They printed the label on the 30th, but there's no been no movement and UPS hasn't scanned anything still as of today. I don't think I've been ripped off, maybe they're backed up from Labor Day. I hope someone didn't lose it. Guess I'll contact them tomorrow if they're been no movement.

>>127621276
different strokes for different folks I guess
but the spruce you'd be using in construction is pretty low grade if you aren't using fir 90% of the time. quality spruce is generally for finish work only.

>>127621302
>They printed the label on the 30th
It's been 2 business days since then lol just give them until Friday before shooting them an email.

>>127621349
I just find it weird they printed the shipping label on the 30th and sent a email saying it's been shipped when it hasn't. I guess they're doing that to get around Sweetwater's refund policy? I think if it hasn't been processed as shipped within two days from purchase, Sweetwater automatically refunds you. I didn't know that until I read it earlier.

>>127621398
Is this the first time you've ever bought something online?

>>127621398
"shipped" when a label is created is a pretty common practice desu, despite being shitty
I'd wait 1-2 more days then chimp out

>>127621398
technically speaking today is the 2nd business day

>>127621398
>this is your brain on amazog primo

>>127621398
The 30th was a Saturday. UPS/USPS etc aren't open on Sunday or national holidays. That leaves yesterday and today to actually drop it off to be shipped. If the tracking # hasn't updated by friday, file a complaint or whatever the process is.

do zoomies/gen alpha really find average to below average women attractive or is it an incel/incredibly desperate /mu/ thing?
>>127619386

>>127621414
I've unironically worked in a shipping department before. You typically don't print the label off and then not ship it the same day. You print the label off the same day you hand it over to UPS, Fed Ex or a contracted courier. Something being declared as shipped indicates it changed hands. Doing this way leads to confusion where the package might be.

Also, don't confuse my concern with impatience. I'd wait a week for it if I had to. It's just the way they decided to do this has confused me.

>>127621528
cool, but sweetwater exchange is a place for people to sell and list their personal gear. It's not sweetwater running it. It's functionally the same as eBay.

>>127621586
(I butchered that statement, sweetwater runs the site, not the logistics)

>>127621528
ok but you're living in a brown america post covid. temper your expectations. the people that cared about their job are long dead

>>127621607
>Brown America
I ain't hear no bell.

>>127621634
yeah thats just the sound the ceiling makes

>>127621314
I know the difference between construction woods (that are like 50% knots) and top graded ones. I still don't like the look of it. Hardwoods look more organic because of the kinda wavy grains.

>>127621398
And this is why you should answer your sales reps call and give his ego a bit of succ succ with hand action..

>>127621783
although I prefer the straight grain cut, you can get more texture cutting spruce in different orientations.

>>127621586
This is a company using the website to sell their stock. They also have their own site and sell on reverb. I just don't understand why they just wouldn't label it as "shipment in process." Maybe gear exchange is just shit in comparison because I'm pretty sure even eBay has a "shipment in process" label.

I'll find out Friday either way. It's highly possible UPS just didn't scan the damn thing. Lots of people who work in shipment nowadays aren't worth a shit.
