Still thinking about selling some stuff to fund one more Tele spec’d out exactly how I want from a smaller builder

Terrible time to sell anything gear related. Just save your money and get what you want when you can afford it. Trust me.

SERIOUS QUESTION

Have all of the maximal ways to play the guitar been solved? I’m digging SWYBRD but beyond carnatic, flamenco, and Arabic styles, it seems like every technique can be accounted for.

>>128284962
Yeah I know but it’ll take a while save up. I’ve spent too much on things this year already so selling unused stuff would just be a way to feel better about spending more. I don’t NEED another guitar

>>128285029
I get what you mean. I've had an oversized 212 cab in my cart on the Atlastone website for weeks now. It's hard to justify while owning multiple other cabinets, but I DO want to run 2 separate 212 rigs simultaneously so I'm at a crossroads with it. There was a used emperor 212 semi locally but I dragged my feet and it sold. I don't like moving 412's around anymore but can't bring myself to sell any.

Assuming same price which one would you pick?

Revstar RSS20 in black or vintage white
Or
Epiphone inspired by Gibson custom 1960 Les Paul standard in iced tea burst
Or
Epiphone inspired by Gibson custom shop 1960 Les Paul custom in alpine white with gold hardware

The epiphone has all USA hardware, electronics and 500 dollar hand wound USA custom shop custombuckers. It includes a hardshell case

The Revstar has a gig bag

I could eventually gut the epi pickups, pots, wiring etc and throw them in an LP standard, then either swap those pickups or put Duncans in the epi and use it for alt tunings.

>>128285175
I have a hard time pulling the trigger on guitars that don't come with hardshell cases and I expect prices to reflect that. That's just me though.

>>128284983
My aunt unironically still has that taste in art. It's like a time travel entering her house.

Guess I won't be getting a Charvel after all. I guess it was limited and hard to find in stock.
It's fate. I'm destined to be the Sunburst Strat chad.

>>128285187
I see some $2K guitars now without cases. It's crazy.

If you were a homosexual man, what kind of guitar shape would you go for?

>>128285175
The revstar, I've seen it a couple times IRL and I liked the looks, though the white custom epi is also nice

>>128285361
The white epi is out. Didn’t realize they come with lp studio pickups. Also the price went up on the epi back to 1299, it was 1099 this morning. Depending on what the guy helping me says on price I’m likely getting the Revstar.

finally got my Bass VI
put some baritone strings on it and tuned it to B standard; only missing 5 notes from the high end compared to a regular guitar (and gain 5 on the low end)
I haven't played it as a Bass at all, just been treating it as a big guitar
it's a neat little (big) gimmick instrument

>>128285175
Indonesian Revstar over Chinese epeepeephone any day of the week

>>128285408
I just can't see that as a bass at all, the strings are too thin and the neck too narrow

What benefits do you get from playing guitar?

>>128285458
Less time scrolling my phone

>>128285408
I have an old Jackson Dinky tuned to B. Right now i have 14-68 on it but i want thicker strings. Sadly i haven't found 15s. Most sets just go thicker on the lower strings. Like Ernie Ball with 13-72.

>>128285458
Early onset arthritis, focal dystonia

>>128285175
Revstar.

>>128285441
It works fine as a bass. That's a lot of Cure songs.
It has 7.25 radius so makes chording those big strings easier. So you can also get unique shit out of it besides a bass.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX8GG3dnsp8

>>128285458
it eases my troubled mind

>>128285441
it really just looks like a Strat and a Jaguar smashed together; not like a bass at all
>>128285492
I got the baritone ernie balls for mine, but it turned out the low E (low B?) string was actually too thick for the locking tuners I put on it, so I repurposed the A string that the guitar came with as the low E string instead
I'll have to be careful when buying replacement strings in the future

>>128285576
>>128285474
hit the gym instead

>>128285526
why would anyone want this

>>128285591
It’s crazy to see how the high the rates for both of those things are for people who have been playing for a long time

>>128285316

People voted for telecaster as the most chad guitar shape. What's the most homo then?

>>128285705
apparently this is a synth. nvm. you could do it on a bass vi.

>>128285710
anything with an excessive cutaway on the bottom but the top horn goes to like the 12th fret or a steinberger

>>128285580
>too thick for the locking tuners
Common porblem with baritone strings on regular guitars. Once seen a review of a baritone guitar (i forgot the model) where even these tuners were too narrow for extremely thick strings.

Just started playing the acoustic guitar... anyone know where I can download + print free riffs without the stupid sign in and the account creating bullshittery

Who makes the best cheap Les Pauls?

>>128285458
Writing music is cathartic, playing it in front of people is a great feeling/release. I'm able to meet interesting people I would otherwise not come into contact with, I get to travel and make a little money while doing so. I played sports my entire life but nothing has ever felt better than playing shows. If I lost a finger on my fretting hand today, I'd pick up drums tomorrow and continue on the same way.

>>128285591
>hit the gym instead
Imagine not doing both

>>128285890
Gibbon studio

The comb filter is side chained to an expander triggered by the audible harmonics. Around 6.5k. barely can hear it. I lowered the pitch 2 octaves and put the expanded signal into my 1187. When playing it at full volume my bones start itching and my body starts jerking involuntarily. Childhood memories from someone else fill my brain unnaturally. I come to and I'm driving on a country road at night. I have no idea where I am. The punishing acoustic blasts rattle my skull. Everything goes dark again. I wake up in bed with a blanket I've never seen. Check my hard drive and every guitar file from the past week is corrupted. I feel something on my feet and look down. Two holes through my feet. Like lightning strike victims sometimes have. The blood is dried. I look in the bathroom mirror and I have a black eye and dirt under my nails. A patch of hair on my head is shaved off and I feel something under my skin. I keep seeing movement out of the corner of my eye. I look at my arm and it looks like there is an impression from a tourniquet. Everything else seems normal except the strand of hair I always place on the top of the doorknob is gone. I check the video surveillance and it goes to static for 3 seconds at 3am. My brain is completely silent. No tinnitus. Not even the background hum. I go to make a journal entry and see the entire notebook is filled with my handwriting. Talking about rotting flesh and fear. I didn't write that. My body might have but I didn't. I felt a presence of unnatural evil so visceral I started dry heaving. I could actually see the beam. Dust floating gently through it and vaporizing into tiny puffs. I could feel the skin above my pineal gland cooking from the inside. I am just barely able to tap the life alert necklace. I felt the life force leaving my body. I found strength I didn't know I had. I manually input the inverted phase into my cochlear implants. When backup arrived my pulse was basically non existent.

>>128285591
>hit the gym instead
I'd rather not have a heart attack for a low low monthly price, thanks.

>>128286010
Nta but that's a silly argument. Hopefully you're doing cardio already. Maybe one day you'll join home gym crew.

>>128286008
Leo same thing happened to me at Woodstock 99'. I tried to explain it and they committed me for five years in solitary confinement. I remember nothing of my life from before the incident. Sometimes when I'm improvising on guitar some memories come back. But they are no longer mine. They electronically lobotomized me. It started happening after I began attending city council meetings. Words can't describe the sadness I feel every day, from what was taken from me. But it will be a cold day in hell before they zap my guitar abilities. If Dave Mustain can come back from a particle wave attack so can I.

this is my favorite strat

modes are so fundamentally misunderstood

Can't wait for Leo Gauss and Gary Greaser to link up. Bet Leo could make some sick pedals.

>>128285890

>>128286039
Why do you assume someone doesn't exercise if they don't go to a gym? More importantly, why would someone substitute playing guitar for going to the gym when they are totally different activities? That shit is retarded.

>>128286132
I'm a metal guy. I only need whatever the deepest string is minor.

>Why do you assume someone doesn't exercise if they don't go to a gym
If anon thinks exercise is bad for your heart, it's a simple conclusion to draw
>why would someone substitute playing guitar for going to the gym
They shouldn't nor was that my claim, in fact i said this originally >>128285925
I encourage everyone to exercise even if it's just cardio

>>128286370
why would anyone think this shit looks good.....

>>128286375
a few months ago I was up to running 7.5 min miles for an hour straight but I began having really bad heart palpitations at night so I had to stop going to the gym

>>128286375
>for a low low price
Exercise is free, outside, and part of my daily routine. Playing guitar is free, indoors, and part of my daily routine. I answered Anon's question about why I play guitar and I got told to go to a gym like a normie instead.

>>128286395
The cobes tele isn't for everyone but it is for someone

>>128285175
I would go Revstar in vintage white, but if the epi is really all gibson USA hardware and you really want a gibson, that's a steal. Don’t worry about what it says on the headstock.

is Gibson still having their cases made outside the USA?

>>128286395
Needs some Monster energy stickers.

>>128286508
Probably. My '23 explorers case was made in Canada I'm pretty sure.

>>128286627
surely that’s supplemental manufacturing. no way they are saving money having them made there

Gotta have block inlays imo

>>128285591
why are you even in this thread? why does it bother you that people play guitar? is it some sort of political thing?

>>128286729

Seriously, how the hell does the 120$ chunk of direct-plug plastic get the app and tone exchange, but the fucking premium stand-alone practice amp doesn't?

>>128284958
My ni/gg/a.

I use that as my primary distortion/fuzz and use the TW Muff as a volume/low end boost. I use the Two Stroke the same way for the screamer, as a volume boost. I need to invest in some switching pedals to cut down on the tap dancing, but considering how convoluted my chain is, I’ve gotten pretty good at it.

Talk me out of new pickups for my Epiphone Les Paul

>>128286814
What year? I hear the modern probuckers are supposed to be great, on some of the ones I've tried, they're up there with my j1/sh4 SD set but a little smoother and PAF leaning

>>128286803
Shut up loser. I own 1.5 million worth of real estate and can buy whatever guitars I want, I bought 10 fenders in 2025 alone.

>>128286483
It is yeah. USA abr-1 with custom shop historic tailpiece. USA custombuckers, cts pots, bumblebee capacitors, switchcraft pickup selector and input jack. Hand wound pickups, hand wired pots. Maybe the tuners aren’t USA but I’m swapping those for locking grovers anyway. It’s too good of a deal to not buy it. I’ll get a Revstar later. Just have to wait for the funds to go back on my card, hopefully tomorrow morning.

>>128286908
>I bought 10 fenders

The more I look at the washed cherry the more I think that might be the color to get it in. I think with the VOS poly finish it pops more.

>>128287158
it's so good at what it does

Boutique pedals are such a money sink. There are a bunch I’d like to try but I’m not going to drop hundreds of dollars on a pedal I can’t try out on a comparable setup first. The DIY kits are annoying as well, sneaky bastards trying shirk the process of manufacturing off on to the consumer..

>>128287179
youtube comparison videos taught me to be perfectly happy to own knock off pedals and DIY guitars from temu. amps seem to be about the only thing you really want to spend your money on

>>128287215
why do you keep posting these ugly fucking things

>>128287031
Wait, is that a buffed polyurethane gloss, or actual nitro finish? If it's nitro I would buy one in a heartbeat.

Post your favorite chorus pedals

>>128287276
he's an ebin memer

>>128287312
It’s a vos poly finish it’s mildly glossy and supposed to replicate the vos custom shop historic finishes. In the end as long as it looks decent and has an open book headstock and good electronics I’m ok with it being an epiphone. I’ll get it set up professionally and have all the frets dressed so it plays perfect and put locking tuners on. It’ll be a good guitar

>>128287179
>>128287260
For me it was such an open minder when I saw the live rig for many of the top doom bands nowadays. These guitarists have inspired a million boutique pedals loaded with the most elaborate fuzz effects you could imagine, all of them carrying badass names and over the top artwork of course. And then when you check out the actual rig these dudes play through, they literally don't even use fuzz pedals. It's all loud amps and basic overdrive shit like rats. What a fucking scam.

>>128287179
That is exactly why I refuse to sink thousands of dollars into a tube amp and pedalboard. I’d rather have 10% less toan for 1/4 the price and 100x the modularity. If I were playing all originals and had a specific sound I’m going for then sure an amp with a small pedalboard that is catered to a sound I’m trying to achieve is cool. But not when you have to play 15 different covers every set and some of them sound like shit because your rig is catered to one specific sound. I suppose most of that could be remedied by using an extremely versatile amp like a MK VII but then you’re spending 2 grand more than a good modeler just on the amp itself.

>>128287425
I have never listened to a doom metal song in my life and I don’t mind metal. Guess I’m just old.

>>128284881 (OP)
What is best approach to solo over chord changes? I'm tired of noodling

>>128286767
It might be a crustang but that's a great finish, strap complements it well

>>128286908
>can buy whatever guitars I want
The naysayers never post gear. Just let them seethe.

>>128287588
I still love your Carvin

>>128287624
It still loves you

>>128287527
Sing over the changes. Don’t worry about notes, just a melody. If you can do that, that’s 1/2 the battle.

>>128284881 (OP)

Why do Internet shills, and their followers, push the revstar so hard when the pacificas are superior ?

>>128286508
Kek I was wrong.

the BOSS PS2 Phase Shifter

Just spent 300 bucks to get my fretboard plek'd and hand polished
Guitar cost 1k when new. Should I have just replaced the neck?

>>128287509
If your living space permits you to be able to crank an amp, having a tube amp is really nice. That’s one of the things I’d consider worth doing some homework and splurging on. Buy once cry once. I made that original post about boutique pedals because I’m mulling over a Wombtone after recently buying and being very happy with Behringers Moog clone phaser. It’s supposed to be le dynamic and respond to your playing but do I actually need it? Definitely not. I should probably skip it and get a Jazzmaster with a rhythm circuit or just get nothing for a while. One thing I do need is a better expression pedal, the EHX one I have is pretty bad. It can be used to control multiple things at once but the foot pedal and response is very janky.

>>128287690
Because they look more unique I guess. I played one once and saw no reason to pick it over a regular sg

>>128287588
Are you warehouse/boiler room anon?

>>128286734
Nta but i think he tried to learn guitar but failed really badly and rage quit so now he lashes out at people that can play

>>128287916
Yeah. Loading up as I type this for practice out there. It's full of equipment now though so it doesn't look as cool anymore.

>>128287746
damn lol I thought it was Costa Rica because of trogly but couldn’t remember
>>128287527
learn the sounds of your scales by sing-saying them while you’re playing them and hum the solo you want to play and transcribe it one note at a time. you’ll find you weave in and out of different scales naturally. do this enough and you’ll find your unique voice on the instrument and find that you gravitate towards certain licks and rhythmic patterns. I also highly recommend trying what you wrote over different harmonies or transposing what you wrote to a difference tonal center to see how playing the changes, not playing them, or just harmonizing completely differently sounds. you should also jam with other people or play to a backing track especially if you are a bassist because some of the most boring dogshit lines I have ever played sounded great with a band and it was what the song called for

>>128284881 (OP)
Check this out, from Fender's 2012 catalog

D.O.D.

I wonder what Craig is doing rn (right now)?

D.O.O.D.

>>128288800
Hi Craig!

>>128287690
Pacificas are ugly and people don’t really want another Strat cloon. Revstars are unique because you get a Les Paul tone in a double cut body for under a thousand that sounds and plays great. You can get a million good superstrats for under a grand.

>>128288867
This, also Revstars have that double racing stripe for higher acceleration while playing

>>128288867
>>128287690
They're pretty cool, depending on the color. They remind me of the SG1000 a bit, the original Yamaha Gibson clone. I think even Santana played them in the 70s. But Rev has better horns imo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W7COZEhmeA

I like Les Pauls over Stratocasters

Well, some Pacificas look nice. It would be way better without the pickup ring

I want one of those pacificas with a p90 in the neck and humbucker in the bridge and I want one in that cool dark purple finish they do

strats are honestly overrated

>>128289010
true

>>128289010
both strat in-betweens sound worse than what a tele in-between can do. 2>3.

>>128289010
The Strat just is. It's the default guitar. You could grab anyone on the street and ask them to picture a guitar in their head and it'll be a Strat.

>>128289010
If they’d just put a forearm contour on the tele there’d be no Strats
>>128288979
this guy is packing and is going to make it

luv strats
luv teles more

Any wireless guitar system recs? You guys told me I spent too much on my USB audio interface when I bought one a few months back so figured I'd check with /gg/ before buying a wireless system

>>128289083
Just do what Jeff Beck did and hit it with some sandpaper

>>128288985
yeah I disagree hard with Yamaha's decision to not mount the bridge pickup on the pickguard like the og pacificas. the cheapest ones still do and they look better for it.
I also hate the fake "hot rod" aesthetic of mismatching pickups that they do on the midrange ones, ie black p90 and chrome humbucker.

>>128289113
>check with /gg/
first mistake

>>128289123
Jeff beck more like Jeff based. Blood clots aren’t cool

>>128289242
I know I miss that nigga like you wouldn’t believe. January 2023 sucked, Jeff Beck died (in my top 10 favorite guitarists) then two weeks later Tom Verlaine died (my #1 favorite guitarist). Talk about a shitty month.

>>128289064
Some of the most famous guitar riffs and leads were on those settings.

What else. Sweet Home Alabama. Sultans of Swing. Gilmour.

>>128289337
strats didn't even have middle positions when walk don't run was made.

>>128289383
Everyone fudged around and balanced it before it was standard. That was discovered on Teles first. James Burton did it on Ricky Nelson's albums. He might've been doing it before that. He called it the "Little Chinese Tone". lol.
https://youtu.be/YUv2xzvxLT8?

>>128289422
Sorry didn't put a timestamp. Just go to 1:10.
4chan Captcha is farting out on me again. This fucking shit is a burden. Faggots.

>>128289383
Which is why you just wedged something in the three way switch to lock it in between. They had those 2 and 4 sounds long before they finally came with a 5 way switch.

>>128288979
I like the look and sound of Les Paul’s better but I enjoy playing super Strats more. Regular SSS Strats with the pickups and knobs in the way I could take or leave, but you need one for certain toans. That being said I mostly play Les Paul’s because of how they look and sound and just deal with how uncomfortable they are. For some reason they’re a bigger bitch to play sitting down than any other guitar shape.

>>128289001
I just think they should redesign the headstock a little, always match it to the body, and get rid of the pick guard on some of the models. I like the idear of a p90 neck with humbucker bridge. Even if they put the Revstar headstock on some as like a modded version that would satisfy me. None of the current Pacifica models interest me at all.

Some love for the out of phase LP.

Interesting...

>>128289879
I wanted to make my own music, become a more interesting person, and become an e-celeb. My expectations have been substantially lowered. I also haven't really taken it that seriously until this year. Guitar because it sounds the coolest

That's cool man. What have you been working on since you started dedicating more time to it?

>>128289615

I stopped because I got an engineering job that paid waaaay more, though I still gig on occasion

Beginner here. Is it a bad idea to buy an expensive guitar? I used to play a bit 10 years ago but basically only know some riffs and melodies from my favorite bands at the time, plus basic techniques like sweep and alt picking. I'm reasoning that if i end up dropping the hobby again i can get most of my money back if i buy a quality guitar that i actually like, instead of some cheap chinese one. Looking at a gibson studio session.

>>128289879
Church youth band needed a bass player. I picked it up at 12, moved to guitar almost immediately. Started 24 years ago.

>>128290003
I like playing new wave/post punk/alternative kind of stuff. Like a mix of like Television, Talking Heads, and Pixie kind of stuff
>>128290171
When I was younger yes but stopped when my first kid was born almost 10 years ago. My first paid gig playing guitar was at 16 or 17 in a classic rock cover band with a bunch of old dudes in their 50s. After high school at 18 until I was 23 or so I’d gig every other weekend or so, farthest gig away from home in WA was in Albuquerque NM. After having kids I’d play a gig every few months with friends then covid kind of killed the bar band scene here so now I’ll play at church every once in a while when they need bass or drums, too many guitarists at church
I don’t drink or do drugs or anything so playing in bars is just really out of my element. I hate being around annoying drunk people and am happier just playing by myself in my room than I ever was on stage in some bar or club

>practice bro
I have been, not getting much faster. There's gotta be a trick to it. Maybe my posture is bad? I have it on my right leg & I don't have a strap for my guitar to practice standing up

>>128290933
the saddle isn’t movable so they did the math to try to get it right the first time. people also wildly change string gauges on electrics

>>128291003
practice to a metronome or a backing track. having the hard line of where you need to change the chord in time causes all your muscles to get on the same page

>>128290781
It’s a cool guitar. They have their own sound when out of phase that isn’t like any other Fender
>>128290944
I’m the opposite, I love how Specials feel and don’t really like regular old Les Pauls. Something about the slab body, the wraparound tailpiece bridge, and the P90s just give it something that a Standard or Studio just don’t have, even like an earlier gold top with a wraparound and P90s don’t have the barebones rawness of a Special. Specials and Juniors are far and away my favorite Gibsons. They’re like Gibson’s Telecaster, just retardproof simple without any of the extra bells and whistles. Simple toan machines
>>128291003

>>128290944
I don't hate the carved top look or feel but the Special is wayyy better for me. I just don’t know if I want a single or double cut.

>>128291413
I can almost see that but a paul-shape without the carved top is as awkward looking as a circumcised dick to me.
It just doesn't have any of the class or the elegance of a bone-basic slab telecaster. Maybe if the special's had binding like on the ESP models but even then it's arguable.
Now, the gretsch's...

>>128290171
32 years here, yes I’ve played lots of shows and a few decent multi day festivals. That was when I was young, I’ve since aged out of playing in serious bands but I’m not opposed to something casual playing small gigs. I’ve written a good amount of music ranging from stoner metal to psychedelic pop. I still write music but don’t have a lot of time to record it and it takes a lot longer to flesh full songs out due to work and other obligations and hobbies. I took a couple year break and got back to playing a lot about two years ago, spent a small fortune on guitars and gear which has only made me play and enjoy playing even more than ever before. When I was younger it was more of an ends to a means, and a way to make friends and socialize. Now it’s definitely more of a hobby, but I enjoy it more and progress much easier. Having a couple of decades you kind of have to be either negligent or retarded if you can’t pick up new techniques or improve at playing a certain style.

They are way way way nicer than the old Bullet Mustangs. I run 12-52 acoustic strings on my Sonic tuned to C and it holds that through all manner of chugging and bending chords and full step notes for weeks. I have to tune it maybe once every couple weeks, it’s insane how decent it is for a budget like Squier

>>128291793
cyclone? gotta assume the strat trem would be a better option

>>128285890
EART with alnico-V PAF voiced pickups for abt 230$ on sale rn, or newer epi's are perfectly acceptable although japanese edwards (if you can find one under 1k anymore) are also great damn buys

>>128291845
my bad, not full scale still, it's les paul scale.

i've read that warmoth make full scale replacement necks for mustangs though, maybe look into that

>>128291850
only an edwards is good enough

>>128291859

>>128292649
not a current model yeah, plenty of older ones though with the exact shape, they just have bolt-on necks most of the time.

edwards are probably the closest, outside of a custom order job. still not quite the same horn shape, it still has a point, rather than a smooth edge

Do you think anyone would actually buy this as a guitar pedal?

>>128293380
smuggler tele, an attempt at weight relief fender experimented with. this isn't a fender body though i got it on ebay for 80 bucks

>>128293138
anyone who likes pipeline can't be all bad

>>128293380
Fender did that in late 1967 through 1968 to try to reduce the weight because they were pumping guitars out faster than they could get a hold of lighter weight ash and were having to use heavier ash. They routed under the pickguard and you wouldn’t ever know until you removed the pickguard. People like to put clear pickguards on to show the cavities. Fender only made a couple hundred of them, and eventually the Thinline was introduced to solve the same problem.

I hate playing my guitar with headphones. It just sounds so different. The thing is, I'm not even an "amp in the room" person. I use amp sims on a computer via speakers. Playing with the headphones just sounds so unsatisfying, the sound is different. I even bought "good" headphones like the DT 770 and I don't notice a difference from my 30$ headphones.
The only thing I do like is that it mutes the string noise when playing, so even clean and quiet tones sound pleasing. I fucking hate acoustic string noise on my electric, especially if I play quietly and it overpowers the actual amplified sound. It makes me so fucking mad AFUFWUUF.

>>128293509
https://voca.ro/1iK4EAX4AtGN

>>128293479
all open strings are in the scale so if you play like shit it still sounds ok and 2) that’s all you practice

>>128293521
they're good headphones, it's just that each ear and speaker is isolated with headphones, rather than speakers that both bleed into each ear.

>>128293495
I'd actually get that, but I already have a HH (converted to HP90) Tele.

>>128293498
I want to minimize the amount of guitars I have, so I need as many tonal possibilities on a guitar as possible.

>>128293494
weight is weird, I like my heavy 9 pound telecaster in a way it's comforting. there are some players who prefer heavy guitars, I still browse mylespaul from time to time but there's lots of old school guys who covet weight.

Just stop. There should be a rule which says you must bundle at least 3 tones: clean, crunchy and driven. Ideally that would be extended to variations (bass, mid or treble heavy).

All these guitars, but no one ever posts their case. This is the most goated Fender guitar case out there. It won't hit you right away, but I tell you it is.

That's probably true, but I can fit surprisingly a lot of stuff in that side panel. I have a form fitting Martin case and can barely put anything in it.
