First for Beato Blue

Chase Bliss has just announced no mystery boxes this year due to Trump's tariffs.

Hard times are coming boys, hang on to anything you can resell for value.

>>127706639
who and what is this

>>127706694
if you have to ask, you're too poor

>>127706585 (OP)
>peeb ass

>>127706694
its chase bliss' mystery box, they're not doing them this year due to trumps tariffs

Hard times are coming boys, hang on to anything you can resell for value.

>>127706296
My tele bridge can do both string thru and top load and I use top load every time

oh it's just a used pedal scam

>>127706869
can't believe beetlejuice looks like this now

>tfw my hands are so small I have to use my pinky on the 5th fret for smoke on water because my ring finger doesn't reach far enough
Its over for me bros... im gonna go play drums instead

>>127706869
I like it.

Buy Gibson goods and services

>>127706694
It's a boo-teak pedal brand that lets you overpay for a box with a sticker, keychain, and pedal that you don't get to choose

>>127707001

>>127706967
Are you man enough?

>>127706967
Okay

Mystery box pedals is about the most reddit thing I've heard this month

>>127706585 (OP)
Do you own a 7 string guitar?

space station pedalboard owners absolutely seething over not being able to flex at praise and worship practice anymore

>>127707051
All u need for worship is hall reverb and rotary desu

>>127707061
i agree but they don't want to hear that

I dont have to learn gay ass chords and scales right

I can just read tabs and play for funsies

>>127707141
yes absolutely

>>127707141
tabs have chords bro

When my aunt moved in I had to put all my guitars in storage so i haven't played for nearly 2 years. i pulled out one of my Ibanez RG's but can't play it because i can't find any of my hex keys to put strings on it.

just had to buy a set as well as a 10 pack of D'addario strings.

>>127707144
thanks fren
>>127707151
nuh uh

>>127707174
damn. hope it goes more smoothly in the future

>barely 24 hours after buying off reverb
I love this seller so much it's unreal

You can get a Southeast Asian Beato for $206

>>127707174
sounds like it's just excuse to stop playing, what kind of mountain hut do you live in that doesn't have space for one single guitar

>>127707237
>no input jack

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yY69bZ2AvFs
How do I play the muted parts while strumming like in the video?

>>127707268
It's quite literally just resting you on hand on the strings while strumming, look it up on yt for demonstrations

They need to make a matched headstock Beato Special DC

>>127707174
Is your aunt too much of a princess that she can't see or hear a guitar?

>>127707268
Just lift the fretting fingers but leave them resting on the strings.

Is the gold too much?

>>127707341
Yeah

>>127707341
basketball people aesthetic

>>127707341
gold is tacky as hell it belongs nowhere near anything i own

>>127707341
no it looks great when done right

>>127707341
American Vintage 65 > anything MIJ

>>127706928
you ok bro

>>127707416
nice it only takes a $10k american made guitar to beat a $700 mij guitar

>>127707047
white rg7421, pretty much a basic bitch 7 but i barely play it anyway

>>127707051
why wouldn't they be able to do that anymore?

>>127707237
>single cut

>>127707559
As if!

Had a guy offer to trade his red early 2010s Gibson brand Gibson SG for my red early 2000s Fender brand Fender Japan Mustang

>>127707560
cool cool, my rgms7 arrived today
it looks boring as hell to be honest but i'm autistic and like tinkering so i want to try wrapping it or something eventually

>>127707625
Okay

>>127707560
desu most 7 strings are "basic bitch" even some of the higher end ones, they don't really have much bells and whitles like the 6 string shredders

Nobody wants metalhead guitars. 7 strings are a meme.

yall guys seein this?

wowza

>>127707625
Trade Tuesday

>>127707625
A quality Mustang? Not for sale.

>>127707738
we're maybe 30 years into them being widely available. they're as old as the Les Paul was by 1990. they're not exactly some new niche thing

>>127707825
>quality mustang

>>127707841
Cute cat. And yeah 2000s MIJ sounds like high quality.

>>127707846
>evertune
>have to retune every time i chance strings
what a piece of shit

>>127707846
I'll play Shinedown on this too.

>>127707871
how would the new strings get on the guitar otherwise?

>>127707846
>7 string evermeme

>>127707881
we just don't know

chinese copies of dimarzio PAF pro and super distortion. they sound close enough to the real thing.

gonna put them in all my Ibanez guitars

>>127707241
i had all my guitar gear in the spare bedroom and had to move it all out so she could stay there. my room is small and i already had my synth stuff in there.

>>127707970
its just copper windings and magnets so it makes sense they are easy to copy

Claim a guitar.
I'll take the AVRI Jazzmaster.

>Mom found my RRXT from 2013 in her storage
The neck is cracked, unfortunately. Thinking about just moving the pickups onto my budget JS32.

$10 seems too sketch. probably hazardous materials.

>>127708038
pickups do not contain expensive components

>>127708038
full of black widow spider eggs

>>127708043
Yeah they do?

When learning guitar, is it better to start by learning chords, or by just finding songs you wanna play?

>>127708238
Watch some justin and then pick away at a song you like

>>127708238
90% of songs people like to listen to these days don't contain a single chord that requires more than 3 fingers, chords are for boomer music from the 70s and before but nobody likes those songs

>>127708238
You think songs don't have chords or what? They aren't separate things

>>127706585 (OP)
Is that a Mexican P Bass?
That looks exactly like mine

>>127708238
it's more fun/rewarding and therefore easier to practice songs you like but to develop real speed and clean technique eventually you are going to have to practice changing between two chords in isolation to a metronome. the metronome does two things: gives you measurable progress and gives you a target or sense of urgency which helps get all of your muscle groups on the same page which leads to speed. you'll need to do a bit of both but focus more on the music because while real practice is beneficial it doesn't always directly translate 1:1 to application. if i practice the major scale for an hour a day for a month i can probably play it at 180 BPM and that will allow me to pick all things faster and probably play a lot of things at 140-160 BPM but it really only made me good at specifically the major scale. i hope that helps you in your journey

Is the bassbreaker 30r good?

>>127708429
Yeah it's good, but why would you want to break your bass?

What's the speaker size?

>>127708923
I reckon a 12” according to google

my old guitar kinda smells terrible for some reason. anything that can be done about it?

>>127705846
Its a tanglewood acoustic bass TWR AB. Sorry it took so long for a reply I was sleeping

>>127709003
yeah that's an under saddle transducer. i bet you have sound but you'll have to crank the guitar and the amp basically all the way up. they're too weak to really push into an electric amp and it wouldn't really sound very good anyway. sorry bud

>>127709001
clean it. if it's an acoustic you can try putting an ozone machine inside it for a few hours

>the string isn't supposed to touch the fretboard when pressed

wait what the FUCK

>>127709139
do it anyway and annoy everyone that has perfect pitch

>>127708776
Missing some punisher and moster stickers.

Randall is used in sludge though. Not what i'd call chud. For me it's shitty boutique amps nobody cares for.

glad to see these threads are mostly back to baseline with peeps all sharing gear pics and talking about guitar, i like knowing guitar players still exist

>>127707047
i own two, korean made, very well built 26.5 inch 7 strings, like the other anon said though i barely play mine too, much more into the 6 stringers, nothing against 7 or 8s it's just not my style, i want to get more involved with them though

>>127707141
you don't have to do anything but my hunch is that as you get more involved in the world of music you will want to know chords and scales and acquire even more theoretical knowledge beyond that, if you were to rephrase your question to be something more like "is not knowing chords and scales holding me back?" then i would say yes absolutely, but you can still have fun just learning to play songs and reading tabs

>>127707341
nah, looks great not negrotic at all, i like it

>>127709234
who are you quoting

>>127709139
Are you a violinist?

>>127709313
i.. i think i just had a really badly setup first guitar

>>127708043
chinkshit is known for cheaping out on everything and fucking it up. it's just to be expected at this point

>>127709139
Unless the frets are worn down the strings never touch the tone fretboard.

Is the noise gate supposed to let the 60 cycle hum through while I'm playing? It works fine when I'm not hitting anything, silence.

>>127706534
Just keep it white and let it get old. Mine now looks almost yellowish now after 20 years and i love it.

can anyone recommend a fret level/polishing kit that isn't too expensive? the frets on my old charvel are very worn but have enough meat on them that i could probably crown them to where they would be like fender vintage frets.

Do I HAVE to learn the modes

>>127710433
Just stick some sandpaper on a straight bar of wood and polish with some steel wool, isn't that what the pros do anyway

>>127710569
>pros
some dude paid $450 for picrel so I guess so

>>127710511
modes are just a re-imagining of the major scale.
if you already know major and minor, you have 2 of the modes already

>>127710511
Just minor and major. You seem to have problems with them so you won't use them anyways.

>>127710644
lmao my condolences

>>127710823
it's legitimately the worst fret job i have ever seen. the amount of tear out on the fretboard that the "luthier" patched with super glue is fucking hilarious

oh my f*cking god ultimate guitar are such jewish f*cking NIGGERS

>subtly mogs you with an NPC guitar
>>127710699
Modes technically came first in ancient Greece. They just got reappreciated.

>>127706585 (OP)
BC RICH

that is all

>>127710511
Read Jon Finn's book.

Is it me or does this look kind of cool? I usually don't like quilted tops and gaudy stuff. But it's somehow the right kind of gaudy.

just saw a busted up piece of shit "relic" electric guitar with a broken neck pickup and what looked like a cmos battery connected to a metal bracket in the middle pickup spot for 2000 bucks

>>127711116
oh it was this
Limited Edition Frankenstein Relic Series, Maple Fingerboard - Silverburst
what the actual fuck

why would you buy a brand new guitar that is made to look like someone stuck it up their ass and shat all over it and raped it in the middle pickup position?

How long would you have to spend with a new guitar to be really sure if you like or dislike it?Like sure sometimes 10 min in a store is enough but most of the time when you take it home you find more issues like one bad fret somewhere or the string spacing doesn't feel right etc

>>127710511
they are all the same pattern that begins at a different point

>>127711189
>Like sure sometimes 10 min in a store is enough but most of the time when you take it home you find more issues like one bad fret somewhere or the string spacing doesn't feel right etc

>>127711189
At this point, I'm sure of every type of guitar I want, and the ideal specs they should have. I've gone through so many that I know what to avoid at least. So all I need to do is find what isn't completely built like shit or damaged.
Couldn't tell you about anything about specific "mojo" though..and not going to lose my mind about a few different ounces in weight. Nor do I give a shit about tonewoods...other than if it looks like shit.

>>127711217
what

>>127711189
>pull sixer off wall
>sight down the neck from both ends and both sides
>look at neck joint, nut, fretboard, etc for qc issues and damage
>look at action
>look at intonation/bridge position/string spacing in relation to pickup pole pieces
>sit down and play it acoustically for a few minutes
>plug in to test electronics/see how it sounds
Maybe 10 minutes tops. Granted like the other anon said, I've played for a long time and have played a ton of different guitars. You just develop a feel for what you like. It's like a good mechanic being able to diagnose issues by feeling vibrations from the drivers seat.

>>127711303
I'd like to think I played enough guitars to know better, but one way or another one or two weird issues always popped up down the line, like on my last bass the bridge sometimes started making buzzing noises from I'm assuming a loose saddle that makes it vibrate against the other saddles

>>127711332
At least those are little things you can fix. Even a bad fret can be fixed pretty easily.
What I avoid is shit I'll never be able to fix. Usually you don't find that on a new guitar. Like a warped neck. Not a technically issue, but I get petty about some visual things. Usually will avoid pau ferro and partially laurel. It's irrational, but I feel repulsed... like holding a turd or a cockroach.

>>127711332
>the bridge sometimes started making buzzing noises from I'm assuming a loose saddle
Things vibrate loose over time and sympathetic vibrations can cause unwanted noise yeah. That's not something that would sour an instrument for me though, it just means I have to spend time going over fasteners and finding which one backed itself off.

maturing is realizing mustang and tele pickups beat the other fender pickups.

>>127712081
I don't think I've ever even touched a 'Stang, but I want to try one for the quack mode.

why are some pickups slanted?

>>127710511
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE_-ZvHjFfY

this is my guitar. i put bare knuckle warpig pickups, gotoh locking tuners, and CTS pots. my next upgrade is a graphtech nut.

>>127708011
Washburn D3!

>>127712571
For toanz, the closer to the bridge it is the brighter/twangier the sound, so stuff like the strat bridge pickup is slanted so the bass string is softer while the high E is brighter, and vice versa

>>127708011

>>127712590
i wonder if i could pay someone to match the headstock with the body

>>127712590
I actually really dig this, as much as I don't really like those specific inlays. Very cool, anon.

>>127712081
Honestly true. Low output for effect heavy stuff and out of phase quack with the Mustang, and hotter and twangier stuff with the Tele. Throw in some flavor of humbucker and you can do anything you’d ever need to do with those.

>>127712081
I'm 6'4". A Mustang is a kid's guitar. Or for a manlet like Cobain. No hate. He's OK, but I can't pull that off.

>>127713192
I’m 6’1” and the Mustang feels just as good as a Strat.

>>127710433
>polishing
micro mesh kit
>leveling
you can either learn to level and crown with a stewmac medium 3 sided safety file and a fret rocker or get a sanding beam or block and an actual fret crowning file. the 3 sided file can do more and give you a better result but there is a learning curve

>>127712081
Best single coils are the JM neck and Tele bridge. I don't like how the offset Tele looks, but I gotta say putting the best two together was a smart move.

the new blue chip pick quality is great but i picked the wrong specs. it's pointed corners at .050", i should've went rounded corners at .060". in its current configuration it is way too bright. i can see why people use these on martins because they have very little treble but on a balanced guitar it's way too harsh. i like the tone from my smaller tpr but like the larger body of the tad for accuracy. guess i have to order a tad3r pick now. damn

>tell him last week that I need to pause lessons for 2 weeks because I'm busy
>texts me yesterday saying "this is why I want you to pay for a full month instead of 1 at a time."
>say that I already told him I was busy and also didn't have the money for a full month at once
>then pic related
I get it man, like he's retired and this plus odd jobs is how he gets his money but the impatience is crazy. I havent given him a full month because I'm not 100% on him as a teacher yet. I haven't told him that yet but still when he said he's hesitating to give me a discount i almost blocked him.

>>127714608
lol wants you to pay up front when you can't make it? dump this fucking bozo

>>127714625
Yes he keeps pestering me about signing up for a full month lessons instead of paying him for 1 at a time. I told him that's fine with me but I didnt tell him I'm not 100% with him as a teacher so paying him whatever for a full month is not on the table. Also he only takes cash which is very annoying but I get it.

>>127714608
>I'm not 100% on him as a teacher yet
sounds like your relationship isn't working
maybe try a few lessons with another teacher or two

Why do the pickups hiss when I touch them? Is something wrong?

>>127715591
>cat his at penis
probably not grounded very well. shielding the pickup cavity can help with this

rip

Where is everyone?

>>127715920
they're busy practicing on their Gibson guitars.

having said that, the fixed bridge on the mustang makes it a far better guitar

>>127715920
Just got home from a really, really retarded day at work. Gotta make dinner while toobs warm up

>>127715920
Man is it really necessary to have this many screws holding the pickguard down

>>127715995
well yeah, you wouldn't want it escaping would you?

>>127715920
just got done practicing for an hour. got a few songs up to 90 bpm on the metronome. each click is 1 and 3 so it's technically 180bpm but it's also mostly 1/8th notes so i'd consider it 90bpm. but anyway 95 is still a little too fast but a couple of weeks ago 80bpm was hard so i have to remind myself im still making progress

>>127715920
Long day, longer night. Even had to move practice to tomorrow.

>>127715983
Who is this guy and what guitar is that?

?

>>127716128
Probably put a JM neck on a partcaster

>>127716128
that's john alamy playing the leo's lipstick leftovers special

>>127716128
It's a Gibson Studio Fender Jazzmaster.

Are the rumors true?

>>127716128
Potentially a Heartfield body, swapped pups, and a JM neck is my guess

>>127716128
Tom Verlaine. He always stuck lipstick pickups in his JMs and in his Jags, and in his later career he used that partscaster Strat with lipsticks and the neck off of one of his JMs.

I didn’t know Black Blues Anon had a YouTube channel!

>>127707992
>copper windings
>from a country that won't even put real copper wires in powered devices
Enjoy those temu pickups, remember you get what you pay for.

>>127716374
fender mustang

>>127716402
other anon said they sound close to the real thing. they aren't moving around once they're installed so wear and tear is basically a non issue. the main difference will be the overpaid american workers driving up prices

>>127716505
Wear and tear isn't the issue, it's having winds of aluminum coated copper instead of actual copper, you're a brainlet for thinking the real pickups are only more expensive because of workers wages.

>>127716505
holy cope lmao

>>127716293
really big one might say

>>127716505
until the coating on the wire degrades and shorts the pickup out

aaaaah
I really don't like strats visually, but I think they and jaguars have the best sounding pickups.
does this mean I haaaave to jagfag?
teles just don't have the grunt the other two have.

>>127717243
Yup
Pack it in, Liberace, it's over for you.

>>127717251
if I have a poorfag gibson les paul will that make me only half-gay?

>>127717243
Try out a Jazzmaster, Jazzmaster pickups are often described as sounding like Strat pickups on steroids.

>>127717270
nah, they lack the clarity
I want to leverage single coil tone as much as possible as I already have a guitar with normal humbuckers and one with an EMG bridge.

>>127717243
What do you mean Tele’s don’t have the grunt?

>>127717287
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkrrJe3cGYM
less growl on the mids
the strat demonstrates it the most here, while retaining more clarity
jag comes second place

>>127717276
>>127717305
Can’t go wrong with a Strat. There’s a reason why they’re as popular as they are.

I fucking suck

>>127717379
We know, James.

>>127717276
Jazzmasters have the most clarity?

>>127717396
less, if not the least of the fender pups in that vid

some mistakes here and there but oh well. only been playing about 3 months so hopefully i can do more with it soon. an old fiddle tune: arkansas traveler

>>127712590
Very nice. I’m tempted to buy one of these just because they look so cool. Does it have one of ‘em low profile heels? You should look at Hipshot if you ever replace the bridge. They have a direct retrofit for those ol Ibanez 4-point hardtails.

You kidding me? It's very Sartre. Very Depesche Mode. If you don't mind me interjecting. Existentialism is a somewhat nebulous occurrence. Thing is, they said it was free jazz. But there ain't no free jazz. Everything has a cost. Ornette Coleman leaned into the "free" jazz. That is a stated fact. Are you refuting this, sir?

You got a problem with string trees?

>hercules makes a 6 guitar stand

>>127717927
Not interested unless I can slap it and spin it around freely

>>127717940
rotation?!
you're a madman!
a madman!

Adjusted the truss rod and pickup height on my RG370 today, bit of a learning curve but nowhere near as much as doing the string action and intonation will be tomorrow. Internet seems to be 50/50 on just adjusting these as they are or you needing to block the trem and loosen the strings first or you'll ruin the knife edge. It's either a boomer old wives tale from the 80s or a fact that most Zero Edge trems are just built better these days.

What are your favourite tone tips and tricks?
I like to switch on my amp to standby and warm up the tubes for 10-15 minutes before playing. Really makes it sound good.
hbu?

>>127717959
if that's the case sounds like just using the trem would ruin them
>>127717981
not really a tip or trick but i'm surprised how much tonal difference pick shape and thickness makes

>>127717947
If were up to me the neck holders would be lockable and on a swivel so your guitars could fly sideways if the tree span fast enough.

>>127717559
Saw a guy playing a Super Sonic in an ad, not even music related I think it was for soap or something. So basically it's the next big thing.

>>127717992
hell yeah

>>127717927
All the headstocks snapping if this thing fails

>>127717991
I don't know the logic other than moving a screw against the knife edge under heavy load will damage them somehow, might take the springs out at least just to be safe.

just put humbucker covers on my LP classic 2019
the one with the zebra 61t, 61r. got less piercing high end and sounds nice in the mids. also went to 9g strings in drop d. probably more of a difference with the strings but i can hear it, it's got that TOAN in the BAWLS

>>127718365
all parts humbucker covers, nickle plated btw

>>127718365
very pretty honeyburst

>>127718365
nice. i'm a big fan of the lp tops that aren't so flamed. quilted looks cool but it's just way too much to look at all the time

Too red?

>>127718365

>>127717959
TRAIN
Tune, relief, action, intonation, noodle
FF
For intonation, if the fretted note is Flat move the saddle Forward

It's good practice to decouple the knife edge and the vibrato posts before screwing them to change the action. Might as well lube them or grease them while you're at it.

If you've seen an old pliers them grippers do get mangled and smoothed out, and kitchen knives that aren't even hitting metal get dulled.
>>127717991
They do get dull and mangle over time and depending on use - specially the cheaper ones that aren't made of better steel.

>>127717981
It's absurdly obvious that it seems dumb but just placing your combo in front of you at chest or head level makes a lot of difference rather than playing it from behind your knees. You don't have to crank the volume and treble as much.

>>127718763
Tapping part was sick, part after seems out of sync. Regardless, nice playing.

>>127718826
Yeah me and rhythm don't get along too well.
I will defile the tempo and beats per bar.
https://voca.ro/1eQar16nYUYT

>>127718860
The fast tapping part was in reasonable time anyway.
Playing with a metronome does help, or at least tapping with your feet. When I did the shitty rising force voca the other day I found it useful to have the bpm at 100 and subdivide up from there rather than matching per click at 200+

Be honest anon, you're spending hours grinding guitar as a cope because you lack the natural born gift of vocal tone and charisma of singerGODS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUmEHh1CpHU

which P bass is more iconic, black with white pickguard or sunburst with tort pickguard?

Anybody want to listen to me practicing some Eric Johnson stuff unplugged and shitting it up badly?

Please help me fix this bass I'm losing my fucking mind over this

It's a cheap Harley Benton standard series bass I got from my girlfriend years ago. I always liked playing it, but recently when recording I've noticed that any time I make contact with the strings it will "pop", very annoying if you play a lot of open strings.

I've replaced the jack, checked all the soldering, fucked around with a multimeter (seems grounded but drifty for sure), everything seems fine

How can i get this piece of shit to stop popping. Please help, do i just order a shitton of shielding?

>>127719348
Amplified or bust. If you needa go unplugged just play an acoustic. Let's hear it.

>>127719168
I play guitar as a cope yeah but it's mainly for my otherwise uninteresting life

>>127719383
What do you mean popping exactly? Does this happen if you maintain contact with the bass or only if you remove both hands?

>>127719581
Remove both hands, and then touch it again yeah, that's when it pops. Idk if it's normal for bass but my guitars don't do it

>>127717916
String trees on that reverse headstock cause major tuning issues, Super Sonics have real tuning issues and simply not using the string trees fixes it completely. Something about the break angle behind the nut and the wound strings binding up on the trees
>>127718008
I saw that too, it was sparkle orange iirc
>>127719083
Half the charm is how goofy it is 2bh, it has the vibes of a Gibson Firebird’s little brother with Down’s syndrome

>>127719168
Yeah I tried taking singing lessons for a year and a half and could never make it work. Half of that was attributed to a lack of good practice though.

dave's leads were always primo. he really is an incredible lead guitarist but slid into rhythm out of necessity and spite. he's a massive dick but that's one area he's never flexed for some reason (aside from when marty was trying out for the band). kirk wahmet could never compete

I’ve been listening to the audiobook of Mark Lanegan’s first memoir (read my Mark himself) and it’s been a great listen

>>127720299
Yeah, frontman of the Screaming Trees. The singer of QOTSA (Josh Homme) was his bands’ touring guitarist and they became really tight. He was pals with a ton of people and his book is full of funny stories about them. Layne Staley thinking he’s full of spiders while tripping, Jerry Cantrell stealing porn, Liam Gallagher being a cunt and getting smashed in the face with a P Bass headstock, Josh Homme looking like a cop and ruining drug deals in the hood, J Mascis having giggle fits over a cookie jar shaped like a homeless guy, lots of stuff like that. Lots of cool stories from being on your and being in the studio. Not guitar related but a great read for fans of these kinds of guitar heavy bands

>>127720343

that's john myung from dream theater with his signature jazz bass

Is the Les Paul staying in tune a myth? Or are my local techs just retarded? First guy replaced the nut, didn't cut it properly so most of the strings got stuck, low e was cut too low and the whole thing was buzzing like a motherfucker.

The second guy fixed the nut but the g string is still getting stuck like crazy and in still getting plenty of buzzing on a few places.

I just want the guitar I paid stupid amount of money for to stay in tune for fucks sake.

Hahah that's very true. Just saying though, all the superstars are dull and they don't really have any cool looking shapes.

I've been eyeing a few guitars lately, mostly in the 500 range. Those new schecter pt standards look nice.

>>127719223
bro sunburst with tort it's literally not even close

yeah

>>127720422
here's the two arcane boomer secrets that have given me the most stability.
1. sand a bit of material away from the side where the string enters the nut slot. put a piece of sandpaper in the slot vertically and round off the corner of the slot.
2. wind the g string (and only the g string) so the windings are opposite to normal with the string coming off the top of the tuning peg instead of the bottom.
3. lube your nut. either pencil graphite or a wet lube. relube every string change. I use mercedes silicone sunroof grease I had on hand.

4. is accept that mahogany necks are much less temperature and humidity stable and will go out of tune if your indoor conditions change a lot

retard illustration for retard purposes

>>127721595
Yeah I'll definitely do that. Saw the winding tip on yt earlier actually.

I'm just baffled that a fucking tech who does that shit for a living couldn't do it properly.

>>127721661
the real competency crisis has yet to begin
