is it blasphemy to the gibson boomers if i want to solder a ground wire into my les paul

>>127640732
They don’t have ground wires? How do they stay grounded then?

still out of stock

>>127640740
there's a ground wire in the saddle post bushing yes

>>127640760
I wonder how gibson makes money from endorsed artists who they haven't made a guitar for for years like buckethead, just exposure is enough for them?

is it true that if you want the hottest single coil pickups for example, then you’ll have to wind your own?
If not, then what are the absolute hottest ones I can get?

Having gaps between your pickups is just wasted space

>>127641025
active pickups with ceramic magnets

Is it normal to suck more on certain days?

>>127641211
yes but as you get better your floor and ceiling will both get higher

>>127641211
Nobodys 100% all the time.

why can't you just have one giant pickup?

>>127641122
Not suprised music meme did this. Absolute joke of a company.

>thought i had stalled on progress
>couldn't play certain passage at 90bpm was very sloppy and tense
>kind of dejected practice, work on some fundamental drills, piddle around with passage
>decide to try passage with metronome next day
>play cleanly at 90bpm could maybe even go up to 95
thank you jesus

>>127641254
yes, it was a joke for spinal tap

I don't even like my middle pickup. I use position 4 to get rid of the hum, if there was no hum I'd stay on the neck.

>>127641254
Yeah how dare they make a limited edition guitar for Spinal Tap and a Cancer foundation

>>127640760
Good, fuck head didn't even deserve a signature guitar, not this model at least

>>127641519
>Gibson was gonna do a run of DC Specials anyways
>Joe from marketing says we can get _% more sales if we have beato meato promote it as his own

>>127641389
Oh please, they could've made a guitar that supports a cancer foundation without making it clown shoes bubblegum ass. And Spinal Tap sucks.

How to claim 10 billion double dollars sar?

It's a parody band. Why so serious.
Whatever you got stuck up your little cunt, get it out. You're going to die young this way.

>>127640980
I'm sure they make him plenty of custom shop models still. They don't necessarily need to make money from mass building. His presence provides a little advertising and general Gibson awareness and pays off the cost of his individual builds.

>>127641992
i sure did. glad i was here for it

>>127632116
Bad idea. Had to dremel the side wings to lower action, plus strings pop out of the saddles constantly. Never stayed in tune either, the saddles didn't roll with the pressure on them. I bought nut sauce and it stays in tune now with the stock bridge.

>>127642044
Inb4 you bought one from wish/aliexpress/temu and was shocked it wasn't machined precisely

you don't understand i NEED the 7th string

>>127642059
It gets in the way of any band formula I care for. It's much cooler alone. We always want more oomph and bass alone.

>>127642054
Amazon... :(

>>127642079
There you go, buy cheap chinese crap online if you really must support slave labour but avoid stuff that plugs into the wall or requires precise machining from now on.

Dick Dale and Television are the ideal Fender sounds in my head. Not Jimi or SRV. Those two used Marshalls and in the case of SRV, sometimes a Dumble. Same with Blackmore, same with Beck...both Marshall guys. Hell, almost everyone big was a Fender+Marshall guy. Awesome as they all are.

>>127642152
It was a Korean bridge. For my Korean made Tri Five Gretsch

>>127642202
It sure as fuck was not if it was on scamazon at a lower than usual price.

>>127642202
I haven't posted since yesterday. Are you sure it was Korean made? I remember a package pic that just said Korean designed. lol. Sounds a little deceptive.

>>127642079
basically the same site these days

>>127641340
Spinal Tap is fictional?

spark 2 or katana?

>>127642182
>Dick Dale and Television are the ideal Fender sounds
Partly because Leo made Dick's amp heads and cabs personally, just for him.

And Dick used to play with ridiculously heavy string gauges (.016 - .060), it felt like having a Strat strung with overhead telephone cables.

>>127642402
Yeah, he's kind of the equivalent of Pete Townsend for Marshall.
Verlaine and Lloyd got no love from Fender or Fender fans for years, but to me, Marquee Moon is the most glorious Fender tones of them all. Outside of that, there isn't actually a lot of famous Fender guitar+amp pairings except in country. I don't know why that is. You'd see a lot of Fender/Gibson with Marshall. Or when someone had a Fender amp, then they had a Gibson guitar like Neil Young. Or Brian Setzer and his Gretsch+Bassman (like a lot of rockabilly).
Also, Verlaine live and a cranked Super Reverb is monstrous. Nothing like the albums.

Thanks. Though it's mostly in C#m then shifts a minor third and back.

..its not like I tried to set up a paypal account and burner mail hoping for 1000 rupees ha ha ha

Though I don't mind doing it for free like a janny just for the ear and recording practice. I wish more anons had vocaroos to bounce back ideas off; more backing tracks and such than shitfart posts.

Does wood matter on electric guitars?

>>127643034
No, unless we're trying to sell you fancy wood.

>>127643034
For tone, no. It matters for your feel preferences (up to you) and maintenance. I'm always crapping on basswood guitars here because it's a softer wood. Some people do just fine with it and many pros have sigs with it. So it's just my 2c. It just strips easy in my experience. You don't want to mess with joints and screwing parts in and out too much. You'll eventually find wood crumbs coming out and need a way to seal the hole better.
Ebony fretboards are easier to maintain than others, since they resist wear and oil and dirt accumulation better than others. They also feel better, in my experience.
But none of this has to do with "tonewoods". Tonewoods only apply to acoustic instruments.

>>127643067
anon is lying to you, anon

>>127643034
Alder is picked because it's light, durable, and cheap to procure especially in California. That's all that matters for electrics.

>>127643067
bbut how "tonewoods" may apply to acoustic instruments?

>>127643034
Sound-wise not at all, 0%.
In terms of weight and solidity it's important to have a light but dense wood for if you want to screw shit in. Depends what you're looking for, if you're bridge is fixed or if you want a trem back there. There must be a middle ground, I'm sure you'll find info on which is the best for what you're trying to achieve.
But in terms of sustain, warmth, etc. it's all absolute bullshit. The sound comes from the electronic components.

>>127643274
Why the sound that comes from the guitars with similar electronic components is different?

>>127643300
Nta but could be any number of things. The same type of pickups could have more or less winds, different height, amp could be different, same amp with different speakers, etc

>>127643034
Not so much as the timbre that you perceive coming out your speakers - but more of the density of the neck wood affecting a wolf/dead note specifically in the unwound g string. Think of it as a tuning fork in that there will be a pitch that will be its resonant frequency. But that doesn't really matter much in the greater scheme of things.

>>127643312
Why the sound that comes from the guitars with same electronic components and amplification is different?

>>127641241
I've been thinking that as well slap some jazz bass pickups in your guitar and off you go

>>127643415
I would love a guitar with the jazz bass layout and 2 volume 1 tone. I guess a stacked knob could do the same thing but I like them seperate.

>>127643300
Different amp, different mic placement...
Similar doesn't mean the same. Electronics, even with minute differences, create enormously different sounds. Case in point my partscaster I had to change one tone pot, from 250k to 50k (not 500k) it's a completely different guitar, pickups and other tone pot didn't change.
Glenn Fucker did a video where he tested different woods with the same electronics, same pickups, same amp same settings, same mic placement, etc. nothing touched except the wood. Oh and also the player tried to play the exact same riff. Well the audio spectrum was similiar 99% and it was absolutely impossible to tell the different types of wood apart.
Not sure it was Glenn but another youtuber who did more or less the same experiment but he also didn't put any wood on his guitar, just the electronics suspended in thin air, and he achieved the same result.
>>127643354
Nigga why is the sky blue just play your guitar now stop asking questions.

why buy a jag if your just going to tape over the controls

The meteora looks neat. I wished they offered picrel instead of only the ebony fretboard with ultraburst though.

>>127643509
>gold plate, silver hardware, cream pickup rings
pick a lane fender

>>127643473
rule of cool

>>127643541
I really wish they had a "build a bear" section on their site, without needing to go the custom shop route, so you could put together what you actually want. I'm sure they'd have to charge a nominal restocking fee due to returns but they're lego guitars. Let the people choose what they want.

>>127642286
its based on a real story
or at least a bunch of real stories
a lot of the jokes are literally just about jeff beck, reportedly

^ mad cus bad

>>127643592
make it so people can choose from like 20 combinations of parts and if like 50 people preorder a particular one then they make that run of guitars. should be easy

>>127643592
just buy a squier and do it urself they

>>127643619
>just buy a squier
No thanks

>>127643733
ok and buying an overpriced fender only to gut it and swap out all the parts is better somehow?

>>127643757
>only to gut it and swap out all the parts is better somehow?
Where did I say that I was planning to do that? I said I wished they offered the ultraburst meteora with a maple board, and that it would be cool if they offered a "select your specs" program on their website.

>>127643768
theyre not gonna do that tho
they want you to buy custom shop shit cuz its more dosh for them that way

you got two real options
>buy the parts separately and put it together
>by a meh guitar and swap it out with good parts
or just go full retard and buy a nice guitar, then rip it apart. but its pretty clear thats the worst of the available decisions. youre just burning an extra $1k for no reason

go with the indogs
the indog squiers are solid. more solid than what ive seen from the mexi/cali plants lately
of course indonesia is literally on fire rn, so maybe not RIGHT now

>>127643768
the custom shop will take your money

What's the consensus on anodized aluminum pickguard?

>>127643989
im not gonna use a plastic pickguard again tbph
its just a thing that can break. with no advantage. esp noticeable on JMs which have the input going right into pure plastic. but with a metal pickguard? no problems

>>127644019
My concern is the pick scratches would be more prominent than plastic

>>127644044
idk i dont think it makes a difference at all
or at least i havent noticed it
but i also dont rly do them that much

just use a compressor
you should just have a compressor anyways, to be frank

>>127644075
I mean the physical scratches on the surface of the pickguard not the sound of it getting transmitted through the amp (though now that I think about that might be a possible issue)

GG hasn't discovered partcasters

This is 9 coats of clear nitro. It’s building up slowly but surely, after coat 12 I’ll do the initial wet sand and then another 6-9 coats of clear before a final wet sand and buff out.

>>127643989

Cool and the price difference is negligible for the most part

Godspeed yovng bvll

What’s the total cable length you’d want for a guitar to an amp? Are there any complications with having a cable over a certain length?
Also, do cable brands matter? What do you recommend?

>>127644087
unless you got microphonic pickups it rly shouldnt make a huge diff in sound
hell, i even have a JM that has goldmemes in it and i still dont notice it

if you mean like aesthetically? then yea it gets scratched up a bit
kinda looks cool tho imo. you end up with this large curved scuff mark that subtly reflects off stage lights. i think it looks pretty cool

>>127644112
It’s on my list. A semi hollow Jazzmaster with F hole, humbucker/soap bar with a rhythm circuit, maple neck in polar white with matching headstock. Maybe a blue racing stripe from bridge to back strap button.

>127644019
>This guy again

make your pickquard out of quarts so your plastic plectrum and fat fingers can't scratch it

>>127644126
you do actually lose some output if youre going through like 50ft of extra cable you dont need (or like a hundred pedals, but then you can boost it at the end and its back to """normal""")
i like having 5-10 extra ft from my amp to my mic at the front of the stage. depends how much you move around and how much your bandmates/audience move around tho.
if youre worried about shit getting yanked out, just get one of those combat cords (idk what the real name is for them). the little squiggly ones that stretch and look like a spring. that way if some retard tries to stage dive and steps on your cord it wont yank shit out

the only "brand" that rly matters that much ime is monster, and thats only because they have a lifetime warranty. not that anyone ever gets to collect on that. ive never had a monster cable that didnt just get stolen after x amount of time

if youre broke just grab broken cables and solder new parts to em. you can even wrap a bunch of that extra heatshrink stuff around the ends of them and make them more sturdy than some of the actual store-bought cables

tl;dr
less is more. just dont go overboard (in either direction). give yourself a little extra wiggle room, but not 50ft extra

>>127644230
It'd just get smashed instead

>>127644126
Doesn't matter when using a buffer

>>127644126
As long as the cable is of decent quality you can easily go like 9 meters without any loss of signal quality. You could probably go way more than 15 in most cases without noticeable signal loss.
> what length would you want
Personally I like 2m for everyday use and practice. And 6m has been enough for me for most other things (band practice, gigs) before I switched to wireless for that.
> do cable brands matter?
Yes but only noname low end crap vs. a somewhat reputable brand that uses decent materials.
Premium high end cables are just snakeoil.
Really crappy cables however can fuck up your signal due to bad shielding and such. But will probably also be fine in most cases. Even chink shit is ok these days.

>>127644230
make your strings out of diamonds so the bridge and nut stop breaking your strings

just buy your own tips and cable, learn to solder, its 2 connections at each end of the cable ezpz.
buy cabling thats half-decent and you're set.

dont use coil-y telephone cables, its adding a tonne of length, degrading your signal and the elastic action means they always pull on the ends of the cable so they rarely last very long

>>127644240
Is a 25ft cable too much?
Also thanks for typing all that out. Have you ever had people cheering you on anon? Are you secretly famous?

>>127644296
A cute girl wearing strings makes me diamonds

>>127642182
Funny cuz two of those three guitarists are in my top five favorite guitarists and one of them just missed the cut and is number six or seven.

>>127644112
parts bin guitars are rad. $1k+ partscasters are retarded
>i will sell the old parts to recoup som-
you won't

>>127644112
I can't be trusted around guitar parts

>>127644320
NTA but 10 is more than enough for both cables.

>>127644320
its a bit much if youre just playing bars. on a small stage, thats just 15-20ft more "shit you/your singer might trip over"
but if its like a bigger ballroom or a festival, it might not be enough. so it rly depends.
and again, how heavy is the music? theres a lot more irl variables when youre playing some crazy metal/punk gig than if youre at some chill jamband/lot kid festival
the former you want some extra slack in case something retarded happens

>>127644126

20 feet unbuffered is max recommended until signal attenuation starts being degraded, this is similar to network cables dropping packets at 100+ feet. Cable is just copper don't fall for the cork sniffing.

Also stop posting anime, you're not a kid anymore.

>>127644339
This, partscasters were fun when they were cheap. Nowadays they’re only cheap when you’re using alibaba tier junk parts, and for the cost of a half decent partscaster you can buy a used American Fender or new Mexican Fender.

>>127644383
>you want some extra slack in case something retarded happens
Stage divers are the reason my pedalboard stays away from the front of the stage. Taping cables down helps but only so much.

>>127644416
Yeah I went to Stratosphere the other day and the prices are nuts, what the fuck happened. It’s not even proportional to price increase of the actual guitars.

>>127644433
>Taping cables down helps but only so much.
thats why i said the combat cords
because theyll just stretch
>guitar
>to combat cord
>to pedalboard/whatever
>to amp
from the pedalboard to the amp you can just tape that down, since it wont be moving. meanwhile you, while playing/moving, have like 10ft extra slack that can just stretch out of nowhere and save your ass

>>127644557
hes kinda right tho >>127644537
they ARE kinda shit
unless its some crazy living room gig where there isnt even a stage, just get a regular 10ft cord
thats going to be a useful cord for its entire lifespan, no matter where youre playing

>>127644531
I like the colors except for the random green on the pickguard. But if those are active pickups I'll pass.

>>127640760
Rick Beato has a horse cock

I was already using the thicker ones for electric but the .60 ones are also great for acoustic, they just have the right amount of bend and last a good bit compared to other picks

I’ll never be a Gibson guy. Ibanez is the go to for metal though. I do have a Gio, but I just never really play metal these days

I'm a fan of 1mm

How long does it take for a nitro finish neck to wear down? I figure the neck is the quickest finished part to wear other than the back of the body because that’s the part that gets the most contact with hands. I’m thinking about getting a Les Paul Special and those have finish on the back of their necks, and I want that finish worn down to bare wood but I don’t want to fake it with sandpaper.

>>127644411
>>127644276
>>127644383
So maybe you think 10ft on the cable connecting my guitar to the pedals, a few short pedal connecting cables, and maybe like a 5ft cable for connecting my pedals to the amp?

>>127644355
Forgot to (you) >>127645252

>>127645252
>pedals
Which pedals? Your signal may already be getting buffered

>>127645252

The pedals are like network hubs or switches they'll repeat the signal in and pass it down the line. So you can do another 20 feet after each pedal but that impractical for most use cases

>>127645361
does every pedal strengthen the signal?
I thought you need a pedal with a buffer for that

I'm just going to stick a wire of copper between each pedal and call it a day

>>127645370
No in fact some can color or suck signal even when not engaged (especially if components are older or starting to fail like caps), which is why some people only want true bypass pedals. Truth be told both ends of the spectrum are overblown but if you're worried about it just pick up the cheapest used boss pedal at your local shop and throw it at the end of your pedal chain.

Anyone use a multitap delay to try get a Binson Echorec type sound?

>>127645047
It’s fun to shit on Sweetwater, but I ordered a set of metal knobs Saturday afternoon and they showed up Monday morning. Their shipping is fast as fuck.

>>127645273
Reverb, delay, overdrive, and I’m planning to get a distortion soon.
>>127645361
So are you saying it resets the signal so to speak, so it only counts from the pedals to my guitar?

>>127643437
I`m pretty sure he simply fucked your suggestible head by that "experiment"

>>127645623
No I meant manufacturer, model, etc. Some are buffered some aren't, though your chain isn't long enough to be concerned honestly. I wouldn't stress about anon, you're fine. If you were running 15 pedals it would be something to consider.

Where should I put a compressor and an EQ in a pedal chain?

>>127645814
EQ I'd put between preamp and poweramp. So in the FX loop.
Compressor, no idea

why are white people like this

Headless guitars look so weird and quite frankly, ugly.

>>127646112
I disagree.

I like them

>>127646112
I hate most of them but the GM1T's just look right for whatever reason. I regret not buying one when they were under a grand used.

This nigga is smug as hell. He's just begging to be smacked while playing the guitar.

But at least I have finally the proper tone for this tune and it sounds great along my backing track. Before this, I used some weird rotating speaker, synth bullshit effects and it didn't sound as powerful or close to this.

>>127645691
Oh ok, gotcha. Thanks friend.

>>127646112
yeah but there is a beauty in their function: no headstock to break, no string trees, no string angles binding at the nut. they could use some improvement around the bridge in adding some normal guitar looking shapes because they all look the same having the legs terminate in the same location in the same way.

I ordered:
>a 3rd arm
>soldering flux gel paste or whatever that thing is
>solder wick
>soldering tip activator
>10 meters of 0,14mm^2 (26awg) of stranded 2 wired cable

I didn't tin the tip of my soldering iron after the last time. I hope that didn't ruin it. Either way, I am now ready to replace another pickup in my life or perhaps rewire my guitar to allow for humbucker coil splitting.

I'm the best person here at barre chords

>>127646516
No you’re not, I’m better at them than you

I really want a BC Rich Mockingbird

Default is comp first in line, eq in fx loop like another anon said. Alternatively you can use an eq as a boost either in front of the preamp or in front of a dirt pedal.

>>127646817
Comp before wah? Tuner? Digitech drop pedal? Digitech whammy? I so confuse.

>>127646604
sounds too much like BBC Dick Cockingbird

>>127646850
Tuner -> comp -> everything else is usually default, yes. The real answer is figure out what works best for your setup by trial and error.

>>127646890
Wrong

>>127646913
Cool argument

>>127646850
think of it like modding skyrim. you need to put your CBBE curvy mod first so all the following models will be fat and curvy and sexy, if you put it last any follower mods might not be affected by it. you also gotta put your floppy physics (whammy) after your big futa cock and inflation (gain) mods so they have something to simulate physics on. happy gooning friend hope that helps

Heavy and dense wood on the body is good way to prevent neckdive

really need that ebony neck

>>127647061
just chamber your neck and headstock

a rosewood fretboard is better than ebony

>>127647061
Leather strap solves it altogether though

>>127647316
I like maple best personally.

>>127647321
Suede leather does dick for a bad sg how new are you to this wow

>>127647836
Skill issue. Cheap leather perris fixed every guitar I own with neckdive, sg's included

can anyone figure out what's the bend he plays here?
tab says G string 7b, but that doesn't sound like the entirety of it

song starts at 0:57

best needlework to get my favour fireflies arsehole?

>>127648004
Vibrato

>>127648004
sounds like a double stop bend with the B 5th fret not being bent. i can't really test this i only have an acoustic

>>127648126
Close but not quite. He's using a technique called vibrato here.

>>127648137
it's too dissonant to be a single note

>>127648004
Delicious tone. Is this a Big Muff?

It’s two tracks, one with a bend and one with vibrato.

If you're the anon who was confused why his cheap soldering iron wasn't working properly, I hope you at least bought a roll of quality solder as well as all of that.

Isn’t good solder made of lead?

>>127648966
why does "good" solder matter? all that matters is that it makes a connection

>>127649023
Yes

>>127649023
tin lowers melting point which helps it flow better and i think it's a little more thermally conductive. melting pure lead is globby and doesn't stay liquid very long. i think it would also just fall apart if it was extruded as thin as solder

>>127649065
sorry i guess i missed the point of the question. yeah lead free solder sucks but solder is more tin than lead

>>127649032
Because the bad quality stuff doesn't stick to anything and if it does, it breaks easily. I thought my cheap iron was broken until I went to the hardware store and bought a $5 roll of solder and suddenly soldering just werked.

>>127649126
yeah look how dull that cheap shit is too. it's not crystallizing properly which may indicate it will fail sooner

I’m thinking about sending one of my Teles in for a B bender install but I’m hesitant

>>127649145
chinese culture is spending weeks designing a plastic spool in CAD that weighs more and holds less wire to rip people off instead of just making a half decent quality product
https://youtu.be/lQ91gktACXw?si=o8wGN_nopLPShqFB&t=152

It's not crystal lettuce.

The flux needs to remove oxides and the part must be hot enough to fuse to the solder. Buy whatever tone solder you want or just use a good iron with good material prep.

>>127649259
scammers exist everywhere, why are you making it into a chinese thing

>>127649259

How are ESP Eclipses? There’s a semi hollow one locally and it’s got me interested.

>>127646702
What kind of wood is that, those dark end pieces of the body? Looks nice.

>>127649408
Lose it if you're not using it.

Went to see Whirr and Nothing a couple nights ago and got Doyle from Nothing's pick. Mf uses .46 Dunlap nylon picks. I got some from Sweetwater and tried them and they're just way too floppy and not enough attack or articulation. The .46 Dunlop 500's are goated though.

>>127649588
Man Whirr is a name I haven’t heard in ages. I saw them in Seattle in 2012 or 2013 and that as a cool show. I’ve been out of the shoegaze/nugaze loop for 10+ years but that stuff used to be a real favorite of mine

>>127648909
A tad dramatic but not untrue. If anything he’s a savant when it comes to song writing and melody crafting. He might be socially retarded but he makes up for it tenfold musically. Plus he’s a Jag enjoyer

>>127649687
Yeah that's about the time I got into them and shoegaze in general too. Was a great show though even though the scene has definitely changed and the zoomerfication of the genre.

my mom cleaned my guitar and removed all the tonegrime from the fretboard, now it sounds like ass

What if I get deported. Whats going to happen to my guitar collection?

>>127649920
I’ll take it mi hermano. Why would you get deported unless you’re in the country illegally?

>>127649408
keep one decked or hardtailed and one floating.

>>127648966
I bought some random solder the online store had. My problem was not tinning the tip properly I think. I remember holding the hot soldering iron for like 30 seconds on a huge blob on the pot and it just wouldn't come off. It was only by a miracle that I was able to pry the old pickup's wires off that. I have no idea why the blob isn't melting. When I touched the solder with the tip, it was melting. Is it possible that the glob wasn't even solder?

>>127649954
Scammers will just mix it with other random cheap shit and try and pass it off as solder, like drug dealers cutting coke.

What's it called when you only play half a chord.
Like the first 3 strings of a Gm chord

>>127650058
it's called a chord

Why would you buy soda from a drug dealer

>>127650071
He means when they cut the can of Coke and then smelt it into solder. Then you use it to install the vintage PAF Humbuckers into your 57 LP with sunburst finish, but all it does is melt, ruining your resell value on Reverb because you can't pass it off as relic'd.

>>127650071
Why would you call soft drink "soda"?

>>127650247
what's soft about it you nancyboy

>>127650247

I'm American

>>127650247
Why would you call soda “soft drink”?

Just got back from guitar center, why is every guitar in the store scuffed to hell and covered in eyelashes and pubic hair?? I get that they’re floor models, but smaller music stores don’t have this problem. I played some American Fenders and they all felt like MIMs, every single one aside from the Ultra. The AVR Jazzmaster is as abysmal as I remembered it being, honestly feels no different than the Tahitian Coral CV JM I played. The only guitars in the building within a cunt hair of being set up are the used instruments which are twice as dusty and pube laden. Remind me to stop going back there

>>127650327
Sounds like the GC you go to is garb. Not all of them are built equal unfortunately.

it's fizzy pop, you philistines

>>127650327
did they at least enjoy your mandolin playing? Hope you didn't have a problematic bowel movement this time.

>>127645864

Too many pretty Strats out there to settle for one with mid colors. But she sounded great.

>>127650327
workers are fired if they don't have good enough sales so they aren't incentivized to take care of the stores or communicate with the customers unless it leads to a big sale. the other problem is constantly revolving inventory and lack of storage space. you can't just have a floor model because companies change their shit every year or two but you also have to keep the box and/or case to the floor models in store so you're still out the physical space it requires. guitar center is expected to carry everything like a walmart. private stores can be better as they tend to just carry a handful of brands but they typically go for ones they know they'll sell which usually means they're decent instruments. all their income is tied up in stock and have less staff so they benefit from selling already set up guitars

Is GC a chain store or is it franchised like Mc.Donald

>>127650327
>want to get that dirt cheap piece of shit jackson $200 unpainted unfinished shitplank V to screw around and mess with electronics on, maybe gift or loan it to a friend who wants to start playing

>fuck it, buy one
>they give me one from the back that's still in the box
>nut is fucked and two strings are completely dead

valuable learning experience but knowing now I would've just taken the disgusting pube covered floor model that played fine, and sanitized it

>>127650578
they have regional and district managers and it's owned by a management group and the buildings are owned by corporate

>>127650544
Nah that’s pewdiepie (who owns a Gibson)

You can't mess with a king.

>>127650578
It's a chain and it's the only brick and mortar American guitar store that can survive build blacks better or trump's big beautiful bull (stagflation).

The company started with a huge expansion model, adding stores to every major US city while undercutting other music retailers. They had a huge initial advertising push. Then when expansion was impossible, they signed a Faustian bargain with Bane capital who essentially collects usury on the entire company until it withers and dies.

>>127650454
Actually my friend just got a mandolin, it was under $500 and sounds really nice and resonant. Coincidentally he used to wear diapers into guitar center, not for any fetishitic reason but because he actually did suffer from severe bowel issues. I’m not even kidding.

Why do classicals sound do good? How do I get that sound out of a Tele (I'm told Tele's can do all guitar tones)?

>>127650806
that's just punk rawk

>>127650829
shew...

>>127650593
I know this feel. As much as I diss the floor model, underneath the pubes and dust lays a guitar that has been put through its paces. One of my favorite guitars was a floor model at a tiny music shop, a player 1 HSS that didn’t have a single scratch and was set up flawlessly, no doubt by some bored employee who babied it.

>>127651031
hmmm that's just crazy enough to work

>>127651063
I'm thinking about it... but I also really want one in blue. And there's so many good blues.

>>127650856
Indeed, fellow knower. Subjected to a thousand sweaty hands of teenagers and boomers playing pentatonics and power chords, those pieces deserve better. It's a little grim if you think about it too long.

fuck it, leave it to the professionals. It's just a hobby, unless you or your dad sucked off a record exec. Nobody wants to hear your retarded pentatonic bullshit anyway.

is hh even a strat?

Candy red is too dark, or not dark enough. For me it’s gotta be fiesta, or Oxblood.

>>127651276

>>127651217
Buddy, buy a Tascam.. for ~$500 you will have something you can make professional quality recordings with, just as well as low fi as you could want to get. I don’t use mine enough but when I do it’s perfect for getting the sound I’m looking for

>>127651293
Not anymore, it’s darkened up over the years. If anything it’s too salmonish looking.

>>127651309
That’s the way to do it 2bh, have an idea of what kind of guitar you want then go play a bunch and get the one that feels the best. That’s how I picked up an ugly as hell coral pink Tele, it felt the best of any Telecaster in my price range in four different shops. I’d have never picked pink.

>>127651309
Bro. It’s alot easier and cheaper to change the sound than change the look. Always buy the looker.

>>127651309
just cover it in stickers i guess

>>127651356
Yes buy the looker with a warped neck and sprouting fret ends and a half dozen dead spots and substantial grounding issues, slay sister!

>>127651380
If it's got a warped neck and sprouting frets it's not a looker. What are you talking about.
