One of Frusciante's heros. Guy had some hot licks. What more can you ask for from a guitarist?

I’m Jaggin’, look out, I’m about to Jag!

I remember the first time I was shown their music and was like "wait, these guys played like, ballad rock? I thought they were something like an extreme metal band"

If guitars had boobs I think I'd play with them a lot more XD reply if you can relate

Someone posted a SLO 30 near me, talk me out of it.

These use the 24.75" scale. I'm warming up to them.

It's RGX420 and have an RGX220, does it still count?

>>128113157
sorry man you accidentally got some bad picks. just buy a blue chip

fuck, i hope i dont regret this purchase (i wanted to try out a telecaster)

speaking of which, is it safe to use a metal pick?
or will it fuck up my strings sooner?

>>128113188
not really they just suck to use

>>128113186
Looks nice man. Enjoy

i mean the shit is a couple bucks why do you even bother asking lol, get a couple and try it out

Bob Dylan or Jimi Hendrix

>>128112329
Where is Sam? He was a Big Ace dick rider, I'm waiting for his guitar tribute

>>128113186
You won’t, they’re excellent. They are bare bones simple and can be used to play just about anything. The older you get the more you’ll appreciate the lack of bells and whistles of a Tele, it’s just a simple and raw toan machine.

>>128113386
He actually died a while back in a motorcycle accident

>>128113423
yeah just needs a forearm contour and a 1 11/16” nut and it would be perfect

>>128113433
Nah both of those aren’t necessary. Forearm cut is a quality of life improvement but not having one is a nonissue and nut width is entirely personal preference.

>>128113433
I gave your mom a 1 11/16" nut

>>128113427
I'm not buying it :( but if true now they both can suck at guitar in hell

>>128113433

He had those tilted pups.

He inspired countless people with his genuine passion for music. He will never be forgotten by the people he helped, with his music he shared. His creativity with modding his instruments, with his dark humor and love for animals. He was an entertainer.

>>128113677
wtf happen. who died on the same day as Ace Frehley? Suspicious.

>>128113654
Isnt actually usa and europe the countries that polute and consume the most given their life style? Like yeah, china is top 1 because it creates all the shit americans consume

>>128113688
He's talking about a friend. Who was a fan of Ace. That's all.

>>128113677
Dude i really don't to believe he is dead :( He was the spark and joy of this god forsaken thread

>>128113700
No. Only the white guilt makes it seem so. It ranks high in cleanliness and pollution issues. The thing that keeps its score lower than it should be is a fucking scam: Climate change.

>>128109247
Because it looks nice and has some cool specs. I usually wouldn't get a signature guitar at all but getting an ebony board, stainless steel frets, locking tuners and a cool looking guitar for that price is pretty damn good.

Buying a signature guitar BECAUSE it's a signature guitar is more gay.

The trully do brother

I'm forever stuck playing the bass it seems and for some reason I'm at the point where it's easier for me to sing and play bass than to sing and play guitar despite everyone saying guitar and singing is easier. I'm pretty sure that's a load of bullshit made up by guitarists to avoid playing bass but that's a topic for another day. Thinking about getting pic related. I have a Fender Jazz bass and I like it but I want something a little different and I like the sound and look of the rick. Any anons have experience with these? I'm trying to find one to play in person.

>>128113676
Does this actually matter in practice? There's like an inch of difference at most

>>128113941
It’s hard to play heavily syncopated and melodic lines on bass while singing

>>128113941
these only sound good with a pick btw

>>128113941
It really depends on what you're playing while singing and this applies to both instruments

They spoke of
A man
Who plays a soulful song
For us to hear
But who played one
For him
To soothe
His ears
And calm his heart
On such a dark
And windy night

>>128113963
Jazz Basses were made for a pick too.

>>128113941
Rick is the coolest looking bass ever made and it has never been topped which is funny considering their guitars are butt ugly. If I were a bassist, this would be my goal.

Ricks are offsets btw

>>128113186
order a different pickguard and it would look really good

Rick plays really well but it hangs like a fucking horse

Revstar standard or PRS SE for my second quitar? I have cheap strato right now, kinda want to get humbuckers to play with, and a different shape to see which one I prefer in the long run. Been playing for a year, know fuck all 'bout guitars.

>>128114087
If you don't have an acoustic might be cool to get one. My favorite acoustic shape is the parlour shape. But if you want another electric it wouldn't be bad to try one with different pickups. Try some out and believe yourself when you like something. You know when you like a guitar.

Why does slapping on any bass other than a jazz bass just sounds wrong? Am I just shit at slapping?

>>128114062
zesty

>>128114087
Revstar simply because I hate PRS

>>128114136
Yeah they’re an okay bass for slapping

>>128114139
You wouldn't get it cuz. That's a compliment in /gg/.

Whoa

>>128113269
My bewbs are at LEAST this big btw, fo sho

>>128114087
I think Revstar and here's why:
GUITAR SPECTRUM OF FEEL AND TONE

Les Paul-------PRS-------Strat
the revstar is essentially a Les Paul copy, you already have an S type so if you get a Revstar you have wider range of tones and feel

>>128114209
You guys seein' this?

>>128114087
Revstar definitely.

>>128114288
not yet. waiting for the pics

Huh?

>>128114388
sorry never heard of him

>>128114514
his death was memory holed to quell the Brazilian insurrection

Was at the farmers market earlier. Picking up some fresh produce for the donation meals I prepare every week for the local shelter, when this massive lad noticed I was having trouble getting to my car (I'm 82 years old). He said he knew I could get them to the car, but he would help anyway. As he helped me into the drivers seat he handed me a mix tape and said, "stay chill", while winking? I still don't know what it means. I haven't had a tape player since the 90's...

Should I do two matching pinstripes on the top left of the body to break up some of the white? I was thinking like blue or silver. I would just do stickers so it’s removable

>>128114602
it looks fine to me

>>128114602
dip it.

>>128114602
dude just return it and get a not white one lmao you already know you messed up, it's never gonna quit eating at you. if you're ever in a band people are gonna see it, it might not register int their conscious mind 'holy shit that guitar is so white' but it will make them feel uneasy

For the record I bought a too white guitar too (polar white player series strat) I'm not just hard flaming I know how it feels

>>128114693
are there spiders in my double bass?

Quite possibly, yes — but don’t panic.

Double basses (and most string instruments) make excellent spider real estate:

The f-holes are perfect entryways.

The dark, still, slightly dusty interior feels safe to them.

The low vibrations from practice or performance aren’t enough to scare them off permanently.

If your bass has been sitting unused for a while, there’s a decent chance a few small house spiders have moved in. They’re harmless and will keep the occasional moth or gnat in check.

If you want to check or evict them:

Shine a flashlight through the f-holes and look for web strands.

Tap or gently bow a string — vibrations often make spiders retreat or run out.

If you’re brave: use a can of compressed air (from a safe distance) to blow through the f-holes.

Avoid insect sprays — they can damage the wood or varnish.

Would you like me to tell you how to safely “de-spider” it without risking the instrument’s soundpost or interior varnish?

>>128114693
Chellos are huge wow

HSH guitars are ugly af

>>128114678
I don’t want to be that guy but on a philosophical level, yeah. If you aren’t 100% happy with a guitar it’s not The One

>>128114717
Thanks FatGPT

>>128114721
Truke, worst of both worlds

>>128114719
True but same scale length as bass believe it or not

>>128114721
true
a guitar should be S/S/S or H/H
Maybe H/S but now you're pushing it

>>128114726
I’m 100% happy with the guitar I just wish it had a pick guard but the socal models don’t come with JB/59 and I don’t want another set of distortions. I can’t return it the guitar center manager gave me his friends and family discount and that’ll get lost if I return. The color is fine I was just thinking of a way to personalize it. As far as it plays and sounds it’s perfect for me. and I love all white guitars.

>>128114780
Maybe I can get my luthier to rig a faux pick guard in silver or something for it. I’m sure there’s something he can do.

>>128114786
put a red bow tie on it haha just kidding unless…

>>128114786
Gold is also a classic fender color which would look good for a pick guard like gilmours 001

>>128114806
Yeah or something like Cantrell did with his g&l. You know something to just make the guitar personal to me

I won’t be able to do the pick guard unless they can modify the pots to have longer stems on them. I don’t want to change my pots as they’re extremely high quality. Also the benefit of the extra wood from the back route and direct to body mounted pickups outweigh the look of a SoCal. If they can’t easily modify the guitar to put a pick guard on I’ll just do some kind of custom decal somewhere. Even two racing stripes up the center like the revstars would add some depth and personality.

>>128115002
they make stick on pickguards for acoustic? Why can’t he just cut it

>>128115006
Oh nvm you want the pickguard to run under the pots. Just make a smaller one?

when i was a kid I read a Slayer article in some guitar magazine and I believe Kerry said he taped up the hardware, fretboard on a white guitar and just slashed red paint on it to make it look like blood splatter. that's what you should do

>>128114012
I wanted to say that but then decided not to make fun of anon's guitar. It looks like something my grandma would have.

>>128114421
white with golden edges or full gold like its furniture

>>128115027
I suppose if they’re already custom fabricating the pick guard (they get blanks from charvel and are an authorized dealer) that they could just cut and bevel around the entire pots themselves. It’s not like I need a full grip to utilize them. The other thing I could do is have them add pickup covers, but I’d have to do a custom color that matches the scheme. I don’t think chrome or black would look good. I think gold would look the classiest, but a metallic silver pickguard would also look pretty sick and give it that grunge vibe.

>>128114087
I’ve actually owned 2 of both and I can tell you you’ll be happy with either. The revstars are excellent, but so are the McCarty 594 se’s. The PRS will pop more on stage. It really depends if you’re playing mostly classic rock or indie / alternative or hard rock. For hard rock I’d go with the PRS as the pickups cut through the mix better. SE mccarty’s are 20% off right now at guitar center and they have some cool color schemes.

>>128114756
No way jack black is the most famous person who has played an SG, right?

>>128115161
Courtney Barnette played one.

>>128115061
I was thinking gold pickup covers but I was worried you would scream about your tone if I said anything

>>128115161
Jack Black is pretty famous

>>128115039
hmm, these are kinda my options.
https://files.catbox.moe/yleyy6.PNG

>>128115235
why the fuck are you using catbox to link to an image on a fucking imageboard

>>128115294
because i browse 4chan in a VM and i have been too lazy to set up a NFS share on my file server to bounce images between the VM and main desktop obviously

>>128115181
Tone should be fine I never take the pickup covers off if they’re installed. In fact, I think the JB and 59 could have a bit of the edge taken off. At full volume they want to break up on pure clean tones. But that may be just a pickup height adjustment as well or it may be my shitty plugins I’m using from neural. I’ll find out more when my stadium comes in. I think silver with gold covers would look great. If it clashes with the black tuners I could always replace those with gold as well cause I plan to put locking tuners on it anyway. Idk there are some options to explore. Charvel already makes a white with gold pickguard SoCal that looks pretty sick.

>>128115235
I like the gold tortoise but it'd be better if it was multi ply, or just leave it as is the red pickguard already looks pretty good

>>128115324
https://eu.fender.com/products/8-hole-mount-plated-telecaster-pickguards?variant=49498521305375

hmmmm.... if i end up liking the telecaster i might get this one but use sandpaper to make it brushed.

>>128115317
The Martin modern deluxe guitars have gold tuners and gold frets with pearl headstock inlay and I think they look great. I may put the gold frets on mine eventually when it gets refretted because they’re almost as strong as stainless but don’t sound as bright

>>128115235
def golden one

>play rocksmith
>open session mode
>pick a blues band
>jam
>it's so easy and sounds good even tho I have no Idea wham am I doing

I didn't know blues was so easy guys, I feel like Barry White

>>128115431
You got blues in your soul. Some people just have it like that.

>>128115446
>You got blues in your soul.

>>128115366
I suppose if I did all gold hardware besides the Floyd and gold pickup covers I wouldn’t need to put a pick guard on it.

>>128115366
Even without the pickup covers and a black Floyd it’ll still warm it up a bit and look classy.

>>128115514
Always forget pics

>>128115527
Alternatively I could do a gold pickguard with gloss black pickup covers and keep my hardware black. Idk there’s a lot of options. The problem really is that I can’t get a gold Floyd rose 1500 so I’m stuck with that. I could also do a warm navy blue or something pickguard which would work with the white pickups and black hardware.

>>128115552
I think see how it looks with just gold covers. you don’t have a maple board

This guy makes custom graphic ones and all the various colors. I need like a program that can help me switch all these around and see what I like best. I wonder if they have a custom shop build thing online.

>>128115588
Yeah you’re right but I’m pretty sure they have to tack weld them in or at least the mounts for them.

Nahsville session guitarists are better than your favorite guitarist and Tom Bukovac is the king of Nashville guitar.
If you don't think humidity in the volume and tone pots improves the tone of your guitar you really can't call yourself a musician.

Anon, what's stopping you from having 1m subs on YT in a few years? You can play guitar, right?

>>128115710
Let's see it! Are you sure you're playing popular songs, friend?

I like distortion on the guitar and I listen to a lot of Korean/Japanese indie rock. I'm not too sure if it's stupid to learn a language just to attempt to learn how to sing and play the guitar. I'm not interested in performing. I just want to sing for myself and maybe my dog.

>>128115431
Is this still the best desktop amp?

I like the delicate drumming and the sustained vibrato where none is heard.

Anyone know a good set of strings to put on a Squier VI. The OEM ones are too buzzy

>>128116022
any idea when they might release a new version? Kinda expensive and I don't want to find out new one with better/longer support comes out right after

i use AI for my guitar rig

>messing with effects

>hear this really dreamy tone
>Be amazed that the overdrive somehow did this
>its not very overdivey sound, weird
My cable dragged on reverb know and maxed it out. So much for the magical non-overdrive overdrive sound. Will use more reverb in the future though.

I guess today is setup day for all my guitars.

>>128115671
What level humidity to you set your tone pots to? How to you adjust the humidity on them?

>>128116452
Reverb is one of those things people overlook but really makes a huge difference in adding depth to your tone. That and the faintest analog or digital delay in the mix will make everything sound more open. Unless you’re intentionally trying to keep things tight I’d always use both at least a little.

>>128116622
Yeah, I'm kinda beginner so for some reason I got the thought stuck on my head to not use too much reverb. Will def use it more in the future. Will try the delay too.

>>128115589
Are they screened or laser printed?

>>128116638
Just be careful not to over saturate your mix with effects. I use usually 25-30% mix on the reverb and 10-15% on the delay. All you want is for it to sound like you’re anywhere but a concrete box in terms of natural acoustics. Unless you’re going specifically for a saturated tone on purpose. By and large aside from those I only occasionally use a chorus pedal when I build my patches, sometimes a distortion pedal if it’s a low gain amp like a plexi or twin reverb.

>>128116581
Idk but I’m sick of hearing guitartuber faggots obsess over vintage guitars and gear. I have a good ear and I’ve never heard them play anything that sounded so incredible I had to have one. Like yeah a 59 burst generally sounds slightly better than a new standard but it’s not anything I would pay an extra thousand dollars to have let alone 200,000.

>>128116639
Idk I didn’t look at their website very carefully. They do sell a slim model which would be great for possibly fitting underneath the existing pots. I’ll have to call them later when they open. I’d probably just stick with a solid color like gold or bronze or something.

>>128116712
I' ve been playing for 6 months, I don't even know what you mean by percentages of a mix.

>>128116761
I think they make a lot of money by displaying those "unobtainable" items to people who can't afford them, or to people who bought them and require validation. Also because youtube forces you to upload regularly or lose all the viewers, they end up having to recycle the same content sooner or later. Once they start earning their living from videos, they become slaves to the algorithm

>toan is in fingers
Dat why Dave Glimmer had da huge Pete Cornish peddlebored

>>128116782
There’s a usually a mix knob that dials in how much of the effect you want in your total mix or tone. By 25-30% I mean at like 9 or 10 o clock on the dial. Sometimes it just has the percentage in some digital sims. It should be called “mix”

>>128116818
Effects are not your tone. That’s your gear. Tone is what you produce with your hands from your gear. John bonham still sounds like himself no matter what drum set he’s playing or effects are used to alter it. You cannot recreate someone else’s tone without copying exactly how they play the instrument.

>>128116818
Also Gilmour played acoustic all the time and still sounds like gilmour. Idk why people think they can use effects and amplifiers as cheat codes to sound like someone else. It only gets you a quarter of the way there. A jcm800 Marshall with metaltronix preamp and some boss pedals fed into a Les Paul with emg’s ain’t gonna make you sound like zakk Wylde. It’ll just make you sound like someone who spent a shitload on gear that doesn’t fit your style.

>>128116761
I'd like to say it's the same reason antiques are expensive because they're old and rare, but people really do believe old = good when it comes to guitars

>>128112244 (OP)
Oy vey

>>128116761
>a 59 burst generally sounds slightly better than a new standard
I doubt it. Any examples of this?
Tom Bukovac and most of those guitar youtubers are snake oil salesmen.

Sadly it's not exclusive to the guitar crowd either, pretty much everyone fails when it comes to blind tests

They did, it was part of a super budget LP line for Zakk Wylde before he got madge at Gibson and left in a huff. Iirc it was from the same year as the "gothic" series and priced similarly. They were kinda trash, like actual garbage electronics and junky leftover wood for the necks and body. That one specifically looks to be a Special model from the Wylde-series. It's hard to find the dark red ones but the white, orange, and hellbilly ones pop up here and there. Very cheap guitars, don't expect it to not require extensive setup and maybe even part replacement work if you find one

rick beatos horsecock just broke AI

>>128117595
Well it's literally the special II with a different paint coat which is their cheapest guitar

>>128117603
my youtube feed has seen an increase in videos shitting all over AI, especially from techbros. it's been quite something.

If you had to guess, would you say the guitar used in this Linkin Park song is a strat? Single coil or humbuckers?
To me it sounds very stratty.

its cuz its not actually that cool to have a fucking suped-up chatbot shit out disposable autoslop onto the internet en masse. its kinda just gay and wastes everyones fucking time.
its cuz they (somehow) thought it was a gud idea to train their suped-up chatbots on the ENTIRE internet. which is rly crazy too, when you think that that guy was presumably a lot smarter than me. i couldve told him that was a retarded fucking idea if he just asked

>>128117216
Ibanez is in that weird "japan only innovates" era atm. Pretty much their entire marketing gimmick now is selling you a top of the line, versatile, bells-and-whistles loaded forever guitar that puts its cutting-edge tech and craftsmanship above all else. For some reason they can't figure out how to innovate the S100 design with the ASX systems and instead of offering it as a Prestige-line special thing they just removed it from production to shill you another penishorn superstrat or weird shaped tele with Duncan pickups of varying quality.

It's weird how metal is the only genre that even cares to try anything new while everything else kind of just stuck in the 70's

>>128117757
Yeah because metal has to constantly try to come up with new ways to stop being boring.

>>128117717
Ibanez makes 2 great moves and three dumb ones, they could be way more successful with better leadership

>>128117799
Would they really, I can't see their 70's-90's models having a big fanbase even if they brought it back, they're really niche stuff

>>128117757
Is there any metal that sounds like Children of Bodom in the instrumentation, but more like Iron Maiden in the vocal department, that isn't all about fairy demon dragonslaying D&D fantasy stuff or cringe, nonsense lyrics?

He woke up, not knowing where he was, it was still dark but the flying birds were chirping, seeing the sun's rays from the higher vantage point. He didn't have much time. His potato sack robe catching on twigs. He took a small bottle containing a tincture of ginger, psilocybin mushrooms, and sinsemilla. He swallowed it. He had been fasting in the forest. For how long he didn't know. He suddenly remembered he had a gig at the brunch cafe in town. He found a stream, knowing it would lead to a road. He flipped an old Greek coin to decide which way. He came to a moss covered stone bridge and grabbed his stashed cherry red sg out of a submerged chest. Hours later he reached a county road. He waited, thumb up. An old pickup, rusted and sky blue, sputtered to a stop. "Know where a fella can get a ride round these parts, cowboy?" The good Samaritan gently came to a stop in front of the cafe. Neither of them spoke. He grabbed his sg, and the driver knowingly pulled away. The amp they set up for him was already turned on, with a chord plugged in. The drummer and synth player had been waiting, wondering if he'd show. His potato sack robe covered in twigs. He forgot about the mushroom tincture. He thought he could see the taste of the air. The small crowd starring through his soul. He had no choice. He plugged into the Fender Frontman 15g, and played his last imaginary guitar solo...

Idk they seem to sound a little more opened up and dynamic than newer ones but any old instrument wears in. Gibson custombuckers are 99% there. Even the new studios sound incredible. A Duncan JB sounds amazing. I’m saying I wouldn’t pay any extra for a 59 especially since they’re all beat to shit and basically unplayable without restoration. It’s boomer shit for them to brag to their boomer friends about.

I'm making a pedal board out of an old shitty skateboard from my childhood. I have no idea what feet to use. I want something adjustable. Anyone have any ideas?

>>128116886
Also supposedly the ge pickup wire they stopped making in the mid 60s sounded better. That could be true because people like those early 60s Strats, but people have stashes of that wire they build boutique pickups with for under a grand. The only other thing that could make it sound better is that they cut all the old trees down a long time ago and the new ones aren’t as strong or dry. But other than that I don’t really believe they sound any better just a little different. Horse cock beato did a test with 3 60s Strats and a PRS and the SE fucked hard enough nobody would notice if you told them it was a vintage Strat on a recording.

>>128117061
Yes but they were horrible fucking guitars. Like unplayable setup, emg hz (non active) pickups, ugly ass old headstock. I played a dozen of them back when they were new and they all sucked.

Anything by smash mouth, seven Mary three, counting crows, blues traveler, Green Day, some blink, third eye blind, three doors down, live, some collective soul, some Linkin park, simple plan, etc. depends on what genre and era you want to play.

>>128118995
I didn’t say I couldn’t afford one I would just play the ones that were in guitar center to see if any of them didn’t suck. I played LTD, Ibanez, and bc rich at the time. I’m not into emg’s anymore though.

There's no way, I have an AMS catalogue form 2007 and they were selling the zakk's for 699$.

How do I get better at playing a riff like that while singing? Singing well while playing simple chords I can do, singing kind of half assed and sloppy while playing riffs I can squeak by, but when trying to sing for real while playing riffs if fall apart. This guy’s playing while singing is impressive.

People shit on Micheal Angelo Batio for doing show tricks with his guitars but when Ace does the exact same, his dick gets sucked

>>128118688
Some grade-A thick sliced beef cake right there sisters.

>>128119681
its kinda weird how much hate Batio gets. He seems like a legit nice guy, and does tricks for fun. Apparently even his video series on shredding were quite well done for their time, Yet mongs get so fucking mad over it. I hope he is having fun touring with Manowar and gets to shred one last time with the boys.

>>128119732

I find Batio to be inspiring. I see him play and want to immediately pick up my RG and do finger runs on it. I will never be as technical as he is but it's ok.

do i love kotone the most? yes
why do i love her the most? i just do, okay

Start analyzing why people criticize you or things you like. Their harsh words tell you more about what they are than they could even explain themselves. You know who's a /gg/oober as soon as you hear them speak a few sentences. As David Foster Wallace alluded to... Nobody is genuine any more.

>>128114602
This guitar is hilariously white. Please fix it.

>>128121770
last post about this capo, size is perfect it tucks away behind the nut with only a couple of turns and fits snugly even though the guitar has a volute. the latch and stop bar fit perfectly together, I had a lot of trouble out of those on my cheap Paige capo. I think what’s most impressive and makes it worth every penny is that the guitar doesn’t lose any power or volume when capo’d now, which it did previously. It sounds like playing on open strings in the first position. I have to play a lot of stuff out of A because of mandolins and violins so more than half the songs I have to play are capod.

>>128120124
>Nah the new epiphones and gibsons are coming out solid. Also my charvel came in virtually perfect. Some guitars have shitty setups though namely the sterling by musicman. Fenders are hit or miss. Oh btw the guy sold me my Prius really cheap because of 3 things. An evap code, an o2 sensor code, and the key fob being bad. I forced the car to learn the key fob, works fine, put a new gas cap in evap code gone, tightened the negative battery terminal o2 sensor code gone. Car no longer has a check engine light. All it actually needs are sway bar links for the front cause it clicks a little. Just had it fully inspected. Brand new suspension, tires, battery, ev battery, wheel hubs, etc. he took it to 2 mechanics and a dealer that said nothing was wrong with the car but they couldn’t clear the codes. Dude thought he was selling me a lemon and the joke is on him now.


its still a prius though...

>>128121770
>>128121972
that's why i don't use a capo. i have this flimsy plastic capo that detunes my guitar the moment i put it on. it sounds horrible

>>128122003
well unless you have microtonal frets playing anywhere on the neck will produce a note that isn’t perfectly in tune, but the clamp style capos are even worse for that. Some people don’t use capos and that’s fine but the yoke style are better in that regard but you do lose the ability to only capo some of the strings

Can you think of a single famous musician who used a Duesenberg? Me either so why are theyin the same price bracket as premium Gibson, Fender and Gretsch?

I respect spectre and elmo karjalainen for what they do, my childhood beater got a warped neck but I watched their E-art reviews and got a nice strandberg clone for abt 300$ flat, prior to that I thought I'd be stuck with a 600$ epi or a 500$ squier CV- this way I saved abt 300$ towards my next amp.

I've been playing guitar for 20 years and never once owned a Stratocaster.
I own Teles, so I'm familiar with Fenders, but never a Strat
Am I missing anything?

>>128122644
Listen to Stevie Ray and see if you like the tone. Best example of what a Strat can do imo

>>128122644
Vibrato can be cool, positions 2 and 4 are really cool when used in their appropriate place, the neck pickup is super sweet sounding. I love Strats but Teles are still my #1.

>>128114087
The yamaha's have coil splits and polarity reversal in the 2 and 4 position, may get you more mileage than a McCarty

You shouldn't care too much about nitro damage. That's the best reason to use it. Every guitar eventually gets flawed, but at least it looks better on nitro.

Not that you should go out of your way doing relic'ing or anything though.

Don't think he ever wrote a single capo song. I could be wrong.

i only use my capo for setting string height easier, like god intended.

>>128122938

>>128122902
I shouldn’t have to tell you that finish wear and finish damage look and feel very different

>>128122945
I still have my dignity.

>>128122955
I don't see the difference.
The only damage that truly looks bad is actual chips of wood coming out.
But poly looks like ass with even the slightest wear.

>>128122980
Solvent gasses liquify the finish and it gets smudged when touched. The finish is removed typically all the way to the bare wood and is then smudged to other parts of the instrument and and creates a large hump or wrinkle. You can look up pics of wall hangers destroying guitar finishes but pic related is hand sanitizer that got on a violin

wow it's like I'm on some boomer guitar facebook page

>>128122906
Jimmy used just about anything as long as he could get a sound out of it

>>128123020
OK fair enough. Is that from a stand or something?
Generally speaking, I just fear dropping a guitar.

>>128123020
nitro seems like shit if you cant even put it on a wall hanger or wash your fingers before touching the intrument without fucking up the looks

>>128123049
talk about whatever you want, faggot. don't just be a bitch.

So in terms of New Divide by Linkin Park, how do I get that guitar sound?

>>128123070
I don't use a hanger, but I don't wash my hands every time I play. The whole reason I prefer it is there is less anxiety about the slightest things fucking it up. Because even the fuckups don't look bad to me. While a paint chip on poly always look like a chunk of plastic missing.

>>128123061
no that particular video some guy was taking lessons and the instructor required them to use hand sanitizer. The pump got partially clogged and it shot across the room and got on the instrument. Freak accident. Fine finished are fragile that’s true, but they are easier to repair than poly finishes. If your poly finish gets chipped or cracked you’d have to refinish the entire guitar to get it to look decent. Also finishes that soak into the wood always look better than poly because the light is refracting uniformly all the way from the surface into the grain of the wood which really brings out the figuring. You can stain under a poly finish but it always looks like you’re looking at a flat image behind a piece of glass, unlike a Gibson or Martin guitar where the wood appears to have depth. You can’t tell with solid color nitro finishes obviously and even the fender bursts are too dark but they also don’t use very pretty wood. Alder and ash really aren’t that figured. Maybe on a good flamed maple neck you could see it

>>128123070
bro you can play it with dirty hands you just have to be careful about solvents and shit like bug spray has propellants and solvents in it. Nitro is resistant to most petroleum solvents though. Also rubber is fucking gay and only belongs on cars. Bad for the environment, stinks, and dry rots and cracks

>>128123070
I think most players actually don't like how bad nitro wears, but nitro fans have big pockets

I always play with dirty sweaty hands so my maple neck looks more masculine.

>>128123111

i was actually wondering how this worked earlier today looking at my les paul which has a sort of 3d top versus a poly guitar i had which was completely flat

>>128122894
One of you fa/gg/s turned me on to these and the hype was indeed warranted. No more having to tune after placing the capo is a game changer.

>>128123209
videos don’t really do them justice but French polished shotgun stocks can look insane. grats on the Les Paul tho
https://youtube.com/shorts/WFKAvO-6XHg?si=QcqYD_RzKYDQ5-Ms

>>128123281
That's why they're the best. the only capo i've found that doesn't make you immediately go out of tune

>>128123111
Even though Fender doesn't use pretty figured wood, I still like Nitro on them too..but it's a different effect, I guess. Maybe it's that everything ages together seamlessly..rather than poly will look like the great new guitar it was once and the absolute shit in other parts.

>>128123340
that’s the beauty of nitro, if you’re the only owner of the guitar they’ll all look different from eachother. roadworn guitars are sexy, fake relic guitars are gay
