>Sharing opinions on Novo and Fano

>But they have opinions to share
Nobody here owns Novo or Fano, you just like to shit on Rhett.

>>128345879
Don't have to own one to know they're not worth it

If you don't own a Fano, don't even post ITT

>>128345879
I've literally never heard of them until today

Taking one of my amps for a recap. Gonna ask him to put extra mojo in it.

>>128345879
That’s like saying you have to get shot in the head to know you don’t want to get shot in the head.

There's an SLO 30 near me for a good price, I don't need it but I've always wanted one.

>>128345879

The only fano anon got his used, says alot

Gay

>>128345955
Yeah it was around the same cost as a flagship Fender Pro II, no way I’m paying $3500+ for one new

>>128345951
That's just the Am special, scale lengths are different but be honest you can't tell just to look at it.

>>128345944
Head or combo? How much? SLO is a bucket list amp for me as well.

smexiest chord?

>>128345982
Honestly I kind of agree, I wish it was just solid black but at the same time finish isn’t as important to me for used guitars when the price is right. It sounds and plays great, I can get past the less than ideal finish for me
>>128345989
Just wanted a 25.5” scale with P90s and a vintage radius, if the homo Foo Fighters Tele had been released before I bought this I’d have strongly considered it and just removed the dude’s signature

>>128346044
>paying new prices for a guitar made by Mexicans aka every guitar in the world that isn’t made in Asia

>>128345989
i was wondering why this picture looked weird, but i fixed it

>>128346057
Mexicans make the best guitars in the world then?

>>128346078
Si senor

I'm not very comfortable with Fender and Gibson doing crossovers. Pickups are OK, but a Fender shouldn't have a stopbar tailpiece.

2 of 3 pedals have shipped. I didnt know the tonographic was coming from Japan. Thats the one I want the most and it wont be here in time

Even if the people on the floor are mexican the guys overseeing and inspecting each guitar in corona are american. that said, if you put american pickups in a mim there's no difference anymore.

>>128346119
Especially when Fender already has the greatest hardtail bridge ever designed (Telecaster)

If tune o matic had more adjustment range it would be perfect, adjusting each individual string action is dumb and just takes more time for no reason

>>128346155
Not better than a stopbar desu

>>128346155
word up to your mother

>>128346187
Actually let me correct myself, this one is on par or better than a stopbar, the vintage one they insist on using more is not

>>128346057
woah I only buy American

>>128346144
>misinformation poorfag cope
if you can’t afford better that’s fine but at least be honest about it

who's even making good guitars in korea?

>>128346144
Until you look at the fretwork

Reminder: you don't buy a guitar; you buy the salesman. A good sales engineer will make you confident in any guitar. Appreciate them.

Dope.

>>128346240
>misinformation
Every point is factual. Americans are overseeing the corona factory, the mia pickups are better than mims, and the ensenada factory gets equipment and parts from the corona one. Do some research on it if you don’t believe me.

>>128346264
whatever guitar that came off of I can tell the G and B strings weren’t properly intonated because you ran out of adjustment

>>128346276
That's why it has those two screws on the sides for extra range

>>128346274
>worse wood
>worse fit and finish
>worse fretwork
>worse tuners
>worse pots
>no case
>it’s just a mia if u change the pickups

>>128346276
More than likely the owner had no idea what he was doing. Picrel gives tons of adjustment

>>128346290
>>128346300
So having two giant screws hanging out of the backside while the bridge is about to fall off of the posts makes it a good bridge? I see…

>>128345862 (OP)
Is EARTfag here?
Was going to cave and get their cheap strat, noticed there's another strat model called the VS60 which has "vintage voiced" alnico pickups, does anyone know what the actual difference is? They appear identical and I didn't see anything abt it on their website but the amazon description images are different.

>>128345951
I normally don’t like the look of most boutique guitars but that one doesn’t look half bad.

>>128346318

Sorry bud your bridge is shit

>>128346291
Same woods and same wood quality
Fit and finish quality varies on both
Fretwork quality varies on both
Same tuners
Same pots
Case is not part of the guitar, come on now that's not honest.

>>128346176
Hipshot makes a nice one.

>>128346334
holy delusion

>>128346318
Oh so you're just dumb, got it lol

>>128346212
Don't weighty and large surface bridge blocks reduce sustain though since the added metal weight dissipates it faster?

>>128346351
Not an argument. The specs are widely available so it's not just something I made up, it's proven.

>>128346362
I’d be careful throwing stones when the bridge you posted wasn’t properly setup and was pulled off of a guitar so bad that the saddles couldn’t even intonate the guitar at their max adjustment

nobody that isnt a US citizen has ever touched any of my guitars and neither of my guitars have ever been outside of the united states

>>128346371
I’d suggest saving your food stamps until you can make the trip to the nearest guitar center to try a MIA fender so you can see for yourself that you’re wrong.

>>128346328
It looks alright but it just feels great

https://youtube.com/shorts/4rnxp5IbeIE?si=mZMY0zTs36gGYbY5

why are people so ashamed of their guitars that they have delude themselves into thinking a poverty plank is on equal footing with a professional-level instrument? we can coexist, just be honest

>>128346399
You have no idea what you’re talking about, someone on food stamps isn’t carefully comparing Vintera II with Ampro to see who actually comes out on top.
>>128346393
If this was true fender US wouldn't be taking a hit from the you know what, might wanna rethink your brand loyalty.

>>128346392
It was pulled from google moron, it's not "my bridge". Try to keep up instead of proving our point

>>128346421
It’s literally just one self loathing beaner coping and seething over Mexican fenders.

>>128346449
>someone who doesn’t know how to use a bridge claiming they can tell what makes a bridge good
real logic

>>128346457
Except Fender themselves said it was tariffs. Face it, your guitars are manufactured using materials from all over. Amps too.

>>128346464
>he still thinks its my bridge
lmao keep digging that hole, you're close to bedrock by now

What makes the bridge good in the first place? Better than a tunemoatic?

I bought a Ramirez classical. Gonna be a chad and rename myself Esteban.

>>128346552
ergonomically designed
intonates well
doesn’t cause tuning instability
sits firmly and securely on the posts
that ugly bridge that got posted earlier fails two of those. the tuneomatic fails 3 of those

>>128346488
Fender can't quite say they make everything in the USA. That's why they put "Made in Corona, California". Most of it is US though. Even the screws, funnily. But strict laws now require everything to be US made to have the Made in USA rank.

>>128346421
I've loved a lot of guitars from both. I only try to buy US when possible because that's how any country should work. I'm not some "global citizen". That shit's gay.

>>128346612
Also, to be fair, I just bought the Ramirez >>128346574 from Spain. But I'm glad to help Spain bros out.

I'll also, there's nothing than a MIM if you want something to mod on and improve. It's a good base to work with. You shouldn't pay either too much or too little for a project guitar.

>>128346660
Blah.. There's nothing wrong*

>>128346593
Martin is stamping “with materials globally sourced” on their braces now too. I can’t expect East Indian rosewood to come from the US

>>128346660
>nothing wrong
>poly
Pick one. At least the charvels and evh guitars have natural necks.

>>128346694
As it should be. If any part of the guitar comes from the third world they should have to declare such. Maybe they’ll consider sourcing their wood from trees grown on American soil in the future.

>>128346722
Bro you’ve been seething and malding over Mexican guitars for 3 days straight. Give it a rest

>>128346488
>>128346593
>guitars been sitting on a shelf in a warehouse for months
>jack the price up 200 bucks
>”oh yeah it was the tariffs lol”
you are legitimately braindead

>>128346694
Martin doesn't do it for economic reasons. They're big conservation types. They don't like screwing with regions that are under too much threat. It cycles though. Crops always grow eventually.
>>128346696
For a project guitar? What's wrong with poly there? I mean, I'm just talking something you experiment with pickups with and other parts. A beater basically, but not a complete piece of shit.

>>128346750
I just jumped into the thread and offered my 2c. I didn't say anything about tariffs.

>>128346750
He’s an ESL beaner who is butthurt that Mexicans make worse quality instruments.

>>128346788
ok but you smell bad

>>128346775
The problem is that poly finished necks suck to play. I guess if you sanded the back of the neck down it’d be fine.

>>128346796
Maybe I do. I stop using antiperspirant. Developed some lame allergy recently. Don't know wtf happened, but now it's plain Deodorant. Shit doesn't work.

>>128346796
takes 2 to tango, stinky.

>>128346827
i use mitchum and cologne, any of the scented stuff just mixes with my odor

>>128346804
Fair enough. Fender does have Player models occasionally with roasted necks, but you have a better bet with Jackson or Charvel there. I don't know why they do that.

I used to live in an apartment next to Mexicans and they smelled so bad it would make the entire lobby reek of third world body odor and lard. It was disgusting.

>>128346872
And it didn’t matter what time of day it was you could always hear telemundo blasting at full volume outside their door. What an annoying and smelly culture.

>>128346837
I haven't used cologne in years.
It's fate. I'm transforming into a Eurofag. Will play Spanish guitar and wear shitloads of cologne.

>>128346731
walnut actually makes great acoustic guitars. sounds better than rosewood imo; they should use it more

if they started putting brazillian rosewood on shitplanks wed all act like it was dogshit
same thing happened to poo ferro

>>128346944
They experiment with all kinds of shit, but rosewood and hog are used because customers demand it. Or tradition too.
They came out with a pretty interesting maple guitar recently, but it was cut and designed in such a way to sound close to their traditional models. It isn't any cheaper though. Like I said, they just do it because they're eco hippies.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TkiQFKn39M

>>128346967
Oh wait, the back does have a Walnut part too.

>>128346962
pau ferro is actually ugly let’s be honest. fretboards should be dark. maple kind of works because it’s the exact same color as the neck, maybe if the whole neck was pau ferro

>>128347012
the Gibson j45 studios have walnut back and sides, fretboard, and bridge. they’re consistently one of the better sounding j45s in the entire lineup

I wish Gibson didn't put pickups in the Studio acoustics.

>>128347018
>ugly
wrong

>>128347041
It looks a lot better in bigger pieces like that. The fretboards wouldn't be terrible either if the finish on the body is kind of wild too.. Same thing with spotty ebony. I think those look cool with a flamed body.

>>128347041
>making an entire guitar out of very wavy grain
bold. it looks okay I’ll give you that.

>>128347032
same. I don’t want to pay an extra $300 for something I’ll never use. actually almost all of their models have fucking pickups. under saddle pickups are also deprecated

>>128346967
They can source rosewood domestically, even Indian rosewood. They choose to buy it from Indja because it’s cheaper. There’s no reason why any product cannot be made in the United States unless it’s physically impossible to grow or mine it here.

>>128347110
>They choose to buy it from Indja because it’s cheaper.
They get rosewood from specific plantations that they invested in for a long time. From what I gather, having these relationships is far more important. It's reliable and consistent. I think that partly screwed with Gibson awhile back where they found themselves scrounging for lumber. PRS was another smart enough to build these relationships and I think outright owns some of the plantations. On top of stockpiling all kinds of stuff.

>>128347105
I'd buy a Studio Hummingbird in a heartbeat if they were all-acoustic.

>>128347161
I think Taylor was the big one farming their own ebony etc. afaik it’s all farmed now with some exclusive models using madagascar rw, gutamalen rw, or sometimes sinker mahogany. I’m all for sustainable foresting, and honestly I wish the Chinese would stop wasting rare wood on shitty guitars

>>128347161
Wait, Taylor. Not PRS.
But I remember some vid of Paul kind of joking about Gibson's supply issues and how he had better hookups.

>>128347214
Yeah, I just doublechecked.
Chinese don't just waste wood on guitars. All the "new rich" Chinese buy fancy crap to flaunt their wealth. Like big carved rosewood statues.

>>128347235
>giant rosewood statues

>>128347255
Or furniture. Same thing with their thing for ivory. They're like living out their fantasies of the 1800s when Euros did this.

I’ve been loving my Noventa Jazzmaster so much that I decided I need one with proper JM pickups and a rhythm circuit. I hope it’s good, Vinteras have been hit or miss in my experience. It has a rosewood fretboard so that’s a plus over the poop ferro models. The FSR models have treated me well, here’s hoping this one continues that trend.

>>128347281
good luck man
>vinteras are hit or miss
I had the p bass and while the fit and finish was ok the tuners were awful and the neck could not handle heavy gauge flatwounds. truss rod was maxed out and still had too much relief. I ended up getting rid of it after a month

>>128347281
If you haven't ordered it already, you might want to look into Japanese models too. They're "Traditional" line has a 9.5 radius instead of the vintage correct but not entirely loved 7.25. There are good things about 7.25 too though.

Did they use paraffin wax back in the day to pot pickups, or beeswax?

>>128345879
by that logic you can't hate nazis unless you're a nazi yourself

>>128347327
Gibsons didn't even use wax apparently and were purposely microphonic? I guess that's why they sounded cool. I don't know. Never played any, just know them from the albums. Fender used a mixture.

See what I mean?

>>128347396
meant for >>128347331

>>128347331
paraffin also pafs weren’t potted >>128347396
beeswax was probably too expensive and not as consistently in purity and stability as paraffin

I could afford one Novo with all the gear I have. Then my life would suck more since I wouldn't have variety or an amp.

>using beeswax to try and prevent buzzing
hey, come on guys. it's too much.

>>128347442
I think it’s better to stick with a single guitar because you get more familiar with it and use creativity to achieve other tones but your amp should be as good or better than your guitar

>>128347281
Congrats in advance, Anon. Hope you get a good one, isn't a bunged up Friday guitar, isn't damaged in transit, isn't jizzed on in transit.

>>128347505
>jizzed on
I’ll give hispanics some credit: they aren’t as sexually inclined as indians

>>128347557
White dudes could learn a bit from Mexicans. They act like whites 100 years ago as far as family values go. They still have that macho culture thing. And if the girl has a dad, you better be on good terms with him. Probably the brothers too.

>>128347380
Why would I hate Nazis though, especially if I am one?

huh, what's that? can't hear you over the sound of me rocking out on a affinity jaguar.

>>128347740
Rock on, man. Don't be a fussy faggot. That's so not rock.

>>128347740
Chicks guitar

>>128347327
I blew my wad on a 2025 MIJ Trad II FSR Jaguar and after tariffs it cost me a pretty penny but was totally worth it. It’s the nicest Jaguar I’ve ever played, the alder body, American pickups combined with the Jap quality QC and craftsmanship make it next level. As for the Vinteras, my V2 Mustang is great for a MIM. The Vintera 1 Jag had a lot of teething issues but after a thorough setup and shim it’s pretty decent. I remember it being worse than it is, whenever I actually pick it up and play it I always think “man I should play this more often” but that MIJ Jag definitely blows it out of the water. I plan on routing the turquoise V1 Jag for a bridge humbucker at some point, I just want to be sure I find a reliable luthier for something like that.. despite the pretty retarded amount of guitars I own, I’m not super picky, one of my top 3 is a Player Strat that would be nothing special to most but just has that magic glove like quality for me personally. I’m hoping this new JM fits well enough because aesthetically I love the green with matching head and a tort pickguard. Looks aren’t my top priority but when they strike me it makes it easier to put the work in or overlook flaws that aren’t easy fixes.

that anon that supposedly mogged last thread posted a shooped novo from pedalempire

as a bassist anything with straight 1/8s or 1/4s or just roots and fifths. so like 90% of music /mu/ likes

>>128348186
>solid state
>attenuator
why?

>>128348327
I'm thinking of getting an amp, just want to know if you can adjust the wattage to make it quieter without it clipping like the jc40

>>128348361
nta and maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think solid states have that problem because you aren’t driving physical tubes for distortion. the distortion is simulated and can be achieved at any volume

>>128348361
Yeah you just roll the volume back if you want it quieter. Attenuators are for achieving power tube saturation without having to be incredibly loud. None of the amps you listed have tubes at all.

>>128347041
It's a lot better than bASSwood

any of you guys like guitar?

>>128348910
no just bass

Any of you lads play funk? I'm recording some funky stuff, but since I don't have a bass I have to play slap guitar by lowering the Tone knob and putting on an envelope filter (DOD 440). I think it works, but since I sold my bass a couple years ago I have not had the money to just buy another one..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q48PlvNoMgk

I like guitars. but now, it's about justice

>Have perfection
>Boomers cry about it
>Throw it away
>Try to revive it in the 2000s
>Make a garbage superstrat/McCarty clone(LMAO)
Why did gibson do it? Why not push the nighthawk which was essentially the swiss army knife of coil-splittable, string-through guitars?

>>128348361
Look into attenuators and load boxes if it’s a tube amp (if you’re going to spend more than a couple hundred, it should be a tube amp. I rarely see tune amp regret).

>>128349104
yes I’m in a 3 piece band and we play funk and soul. bass, keys, drums

>>128349187
Idk, all they need to do is bring back the WRC or something akin to it

>>128347281
That's one badass color brother

Ever since I got back into classical guitar rock guitar just feels silly to me. The guitar's possibilities are so underutilized in every other genre of guitar music. ( with the exception of chord melody jazz guitar). Also love how gearfaggotry really isn't much of a thing with this music once you've found the one instrument you'll play. I don't think I'm going back brothers

>>128349436
Okay, don't let the door hit you on the way out

>>128349393
It’s got me considering another paint project, I’m thinking about refinishing my P90 Mustang from surf blue to matte FDE. Gotta find the right shade though, not Glock bronze but more of a bland Magpul FDE.

Can someone redpill me on the use of a piezo bridge pickup in an electric?
Is it only to somehow recreate some of the character you'd have on acoustics?
I saw fender has the acousta-sonic line but that pre-amp comes with voicing profiles.
If you have an HH or HSS, tonally what does the piezo offer, only acoustic? Or is there something about the response that makes it useful for distorted sound.

>>128349436
bluegrass cross picking is kind of similar but the difference is the average person is writing the music and not a superhuman freak like Bach, but using a pick is such a handicap compared to fingerstyle. however, yeah I pretty much agree.

>>128349436
Same but neoclassical and circled back to gearfaggotry

>>128349457
you have the right idea but it won’t truly sound like an acoustic just like pickups in acoustic guitars still don’t sound like acoustics. you’re getting the pure string resonance and vibrations coming through the saddles instead of what the electromagnetic field is creating in an electric guitar pickup but you’re missing out on all the overtones and harmonics that are created in the resonance chamber on an acoustic. but yeah it’s just a close approximation

>>128349187
cherryburst is iconic, don’t call it clownburst or i might cry

>>128349457
Some people blend them into their regular pickups but most people just use them for cleans. I’m of the opinion that they’re fairly worthless, especially since they require their own output jack and separate signal chain. But graph tech does make several “ghost piezo” bridges for tune-o-mastic, tele, and Strat bridges that have hidden piezo pickups, if for some reason you want one.

Is there something particular that could help with the fretting hand fretting a bit too quickly in relation to the picking? I started practicing 1 to 2 hours every day some time ago to fix these issues.

>>128349334
nice dude! any bands you recommend?

>>128349519
best way I’ve found to correct cognitive processes (muscle memory) is to slow it way the fuck down like 30 bpm quarter notes and hyper focus on how each hand feels to be in sync then work on various tempos once that concept is subconscious. you need to work at various tempos because technique slightly changes especially for plectrum picking as you speed up

The store near me has this active bass and it's pretty cheap. I want to make sure I know what I'm asking for when I go to GC. The band I'm trying mostly plays in drop A but I'll probably also want to play drop C songs on it as well. Would anyone recommend using the 5 bass strings on the 4 string? I saw that online but I'm not too sure about it

>>128349541
parliament/funkadelic, older motown stuff, anything bootsy collins, sly and the family stone, tower of power, kool and the gang, older james brown stuff, chic. kind of newer but Joe Dart stuff like uh fearless flyers and whatever else he was in. hot take but I really like the gap band. Stevie Ray Vaughans late stuff was getting deep into funk if you want lead guitar stuff (couldn’t stand the weather, crossfire). damn I lost my train of thought… anything you’re looking for in particular?

>>128349577
I’d at least buy a Yamaha or Ibanez if you’re going cheap active

>>128349577
you’ll have to cut the but slots when drastically going up in string gauge. it can be crudely done with sandpaper wrapped around an old string but look up what you’re getting into first

>>128349591
oh yeah I was going to say I really like Living Color (cult of personality fame). kind of a mix of hard rock and funk. Patterns (costa rican band) is one of my favorite bands of all time, but they never made it big. Dangerous Intentions album is a straight banger and it’s like an 80s pop funk vibe. Check out burning man by them and see if you like them

Good evening bros I heard we were posting offsets.

>>128349651
Nah man, you listed all the staples. I love Bootsy.
Finding out later that he worked with Buckethead was awesome.

I was kinda looking for something I haven't heard yet

>>128349601
I'm trying to avoid online orders or breaking 200 with this so im really scraping bottom of the barrel. Also I have 140 in GC money so I'd like to take advantage of the sale.

>>128349609
I'm aware of the work to be done on the nut I've seen people online say they either widen the nut or get a 5 string. i wanna go the nut route since I've tried and don't like 5 strings

>>128349104
sheesh whens the LP dude

>>128349696
yeah sorry man I guess I’m an old head. have you listened to his #1 album of the year? I’ve been listening nonstop to the hip hop lollipop track with victor wooten on it. there’s also a German pop singer on there can’t recall her name atm but she can do crazy shit with her voice

>>128349680
Sounds good Jag friend, how did you record this?

>>128349706
it can be done just try to find one that has plenty of room left on the truss rod. cheaper guitars have weaker necks especially asian shredder shit with tiny carves. you’re going to be adding a lot of tension to the neck probably

Craig here. I just got a pet fish. I showed it my guitar and explained to it that I was a guitarist. I named the guy Bonefish.

>>128349717
nah, I have yet to check it out. Wooten is a legend.

Cheers

>>128349552
For me the problem starts maybe at 120bpm, doing 16th notes

>>128349742
Hell yeah congrats Craig, stoked for you brother.

>>128349741
What if I'm doing this idea with a passive bass instead? Would that change anything? One of the pedals I have coming is a preamp. So I don't think I need the active bass, just a 2nd bass that I can use for this shit.

>>128349790
thanks :)

>>128349519
This is said quite often, but just use a metronome and build up speed. Watch some Troy Grady videos on right hand technique. Keep consistent with practice.

>>128349763
cheers brother, keep on funkin

>>128349798
Nta but personally I'd run 2 basses. Going back and forth between drop a and drop c will be a pain. It'd be different if you were going from c standard to drop a#

Craig stays winning... They hate to see it.

>>128349772
if you don’t have this problem at 100 bpm keep plugging away at 120. maybe even try playing a song you know at 140 without stopping even if you’re fucking up half the time.
>>128349798
there’s no need for an active bass if you have a good amp or modeler imo. active basses are just good for doing eq on the instrument on the fly because like you said they specifically have a preamp built in. cutting through a mix is about frequencies, not giant hot pickups

>>128349680
nice stuff, some good early 2000's sound

>>128349830
>>128349854
So do you think getting something around this price range and having the nuts adjusted would be good?

i got one bros

>>128349936
lol

>>128349936
Nigga you gay

why can't the spark 2's looper work like the boss pedal does? idgaf about drum effects. stupid confining spark 2 looper

>>128349997
nothing gay about having a white guitar
what the fuck are you on about

>>128349905
Like the other anon said, yamaha or ibby is the way to go in that price range. If that's what your budget allows, that's what I would do yeah. Different tunings 100% justifies a separate instrument in my opinion if only just for convenience sake.

>>128350054
it says 'quier' right on the head of the guitar

>>128349905
yeah I’m sure it would work fine.

>>128350068
>>128350114
Yeah i kinda am starting to understand why people have separate ones. I think I'll ask them to adjust the nuts and go with that. Im thinking maybe drop B cause dropping a whole step Usually isn't that bad in terms of string tension.

What guitar related video should I watch while enjoying my white people taco night sloppa?

>>128350172
Crossroads

>>128350160
sleep on it my friend

>>128350204
Thanks brother

dronetool doesn't work anymore. I found another site. Although it would be better if I jammed with a motherfucker.

Why does it seem like so many songs use standard open-chords (A, E, G, D)?
Is this just a mistake on the transcription on songster or are they really that common?

>>128350195
That movie sucks ass

>>128350288
Same reason why you were born with 2 brain cells, it just be that way.

If I'm playing a chord fast, how can I only hit a couple strings when I want to?

>>128350299
That doesn't answer my question and it's a valid question.
I don't interval train, I'm wondering if open chords really are that common in songs.

fender
ernie ball

How do I slide chords without having my fingers drag and end up on all the wrong frets

>>128350341
It be like that

>>128350329
>>128350409
practice. sorry it sounds like a cop out but it’s the only way

>>128350423
Yes but is there a trick to it? How can I maintain a strumming pattern to keep time if I don't want to hit every string?

>>128350407
Speaking of weenie ballsack, do these strings actually do anything? Are they stretchier, do they last longer without corrosion, do they have a warm sound?

>>128349720
>>128349878

Thanks frens. It's an Sm57 on the JC120. Also the recording was actually a JM and not the Jag but who's counting.

Went to GC, guitar tech wasnt there but apparently nut adjustment is something that takes a long time. I thought it would be like an hour.

>>128350409
>gc finally refunds my money today
>order guitar and have them ship overnight
>The fucking ups PLANE blows up with my guitar on it

>>128350458
Don’t get your guitar worked on by gc techs they’re incompetent and underpaid. A nut file is a 20-30 minute job at most

>>128350462
>it’s real
https://us.cnn.com/2025/11/04/us/ups-plane-crash-louisville-airport

>>128349680
Needs more gain and reverb

>>128350478
>>128350462
this would genuinely be the funniest thing that's ever happened in /gg/ if it was real

Something people ITT don't want to admit is that you don't need to be great to make good/decent music that people like to listen to - you just need to be OK and know how to make interesting music

>>128350471
Yeah i called a store they said would be able to do it if i bring it by so I'm gonna pick up a yamaha and bring it by there

>>128350462
>>128350478
That's fucking hilarious

>>128350462
holy kek

>>128350429
slow it down until you have general accuracy

>>128350478
bro my package literally might have been on that plane lol. it was just an empty box tho

>>128350717
nevermind it arrived at Lexington at 8 am

Only cost 12 bucks for the new yamaha and strings praying that this store can just file the nut down and restring for cheap

>>128345862 (OP)
What is with the 3 holes above the switch?
RFID?

>>128350291
Literally every guitarist liked it until you faggots showed up.

>>128350882
its to smuggle heroin

would it be funny if a youtuber went to guitar shops with hidden camera, asked to play top shelf instrument and accidentally dropped it/broke it?

>>128350950
yes, especially so if its some shillshit like novo

>>128350874
Since I need intonation also I gotta get a setup instead of just a filing so the store will call me in a few weeks. Until then I'll work with what I got

https://voca.ro/18Vkugae0gx0

Just changed my board today, how's my tone?

>>128350977
Just do it yourself this is something you need to learn how to do anyway

>>128350996
This seems like something that if it's fucked up could ruin the bass. I'm not brave enough to do it

>>128351021
I meant the setup itself, not filing the nut. I can understand not being completely comfortable with that

>>128351069
they prob charge just as much to do it separate desu

>>128351069
>>128351079
I think together its like 105. I don't think that's too bad but i have no idea what a fair price is

>>128350329
you learn to mute the surrounding strings so you can be somewhat less accurate with your strumming

>>128350886
That’s because in the 80s you had two options for guitar movies, spinal tap and crossroads. You couldn’t watch guitar content with the click of a hutton. The bar was extremely low.

>>128351096
set up with nut work is like 120-135 at gc

>>128351096
That’s not a bad price. I think I pay 90 for hard tail guitars and they file the nut for that price. Bass might be more idk.

>>128350438
I knew it was a miked amp. Tone is in the gonads, and the hands, but gol damned if a quality amp and microphone doesn’t make it sing nice and clear.

The nut is such a stupid thing that's somehow still stuck around since the gut strings days, I wish leo would have invented some kind of mechanical adjustable nut back in the 50's

good

bad

>>128350977
These are all things that you are very likely more than capable of doing, don’t be so lazy anon. StewMac, Sweetwater, many channels have quick guides on intonation, but work is a bit more risky but you could get the cheap round files on a keychain off Amazon for like $3. They’re ore than adequate unless you’re filling a super expensive bone or tusk nut.

>>128351190
>>128351222
GC also said a few weeks for the repair. I called that boomer who I got lessons from to see if he could but he didnt pick up. Also going to check a few other stores near me tomorrow to see what their cost is. I feel like I can find a spot that can get me done in at least a day.

>>128351288
its been solved

>>128351096
>>128351190
>>128351222
you guys are fucked in the head
why the hell arent you just doing it yourself

>>128351381
bro I have a $1500 tool bag and did good work as a tech at GC. I actually was asked to resign cause I undercharged and didn’t meet their 30% minimum commission. I was just giving a frame of reference for the repair

>>128351351
It's not "solved" if the vast majority of guitars still come with the stupid hand saw nut

>>128351296
>a beautiful guitar
>>128351313
>prison furniture

>>128351412
>30% minimum commission
Can you elaborate on this?

>>128351647

>accidentally

>>128351539
sorry I was on the road. techs get paid a flat hourly rate mine was $17/hr. you have a minimum sales they expect you to make depending on your population density of the city. like $2500/month or something. I was getting 115-170% of the minimum depending on the month but most days was 115-120%. I was let go for not getting 130% of the minimum sales. I had to undercharge people to get work all the time because the guy before me was dogshit and a thief so the reputation but also it’s hard to sell people a pro setup when it’s just a fucking setup plus a “polish”. I regularly added small fret and nut work for free just to get customers. My sales guys also didn’t push for it at all

>>128351799
he's so gay wtf

>>128351647
is that the 'berries and cream' guy?

>>128351296
>>128351313
I was literally just thinking about this. Saw an oxblood studio and thought it looked better than a bound standard, same for the blueberry color- but anything in a burst needs binding imo

>>128351804
also my next level supervisor didn’t even train me on all the computer systems and shit like doing the gear protection claims and ordering parts. I had to find a 10 year old binder in the back and read it. faggot. GC sucks dick

>>128351313
so the Studio is the new tribute?
i bet those frets feel like cheese graters

>>128351381
The same reason I don’t work on my own cars or fix my own plumbing. Not everyone wants to be a handyman or mechanic or woodworker. Maybe you do, more power to you. There are plenty of things I’m good at that you aren’t. You can’t drive a semi truck or build and maintain complex data servers. Should I harass you to do those things yourself? I pay people to do things I know I’m likely to either fuck up or not have the patience to do properly. Now kindly mind your own business

>>128351947
>You can’t drive a semi truck or build and maintain complex data servers.
That's where you are wrong, kid.

But keep getting scammed, you are cattle after all.

>>128351941
Retard here, besides the ceramic humbuckers and lack of coil split and out-of-phase toggles, is there any difference between the tribute and the studio?
I don't know if this is in the same family but I saw guitar center had some less paul modern or modern studios around 899$ last year but that might've been because they weren't selling.

>>128351955
the thing is, you can call a plumber or it tech to fix those problems, you can't call a guy to get you bitches tho

>>128351941
That’s not a new studio. New studios have bound fretboards and nibs. Those are circa 2005-2012 “faded” models which were natural stained mahogany guitars. They made sg’s and other models in that lineup. Tributes came way later.

>>128351971
>you can't call a guy to get you bitches tho
I'll just call your mom

>>128351971
actually….

>>128351970
the only difference is /gg/ will call you poor

>>128351979
I won’t. Just don’t have a fucking meltdown telling me it’s as good as a standard

>>128351971
Ok well I don’t do my own setups. Luthiers exist for a reason. Stop trying to force everyone else to do what you like to do.

>>128352005
I quoted the wrong post, cry about it.

>>128352012
i hope you step in a puddle and one of your socks become wet and you have to walk around with it all day.

I've never practiced
I've never even picked up a guitar before I started playing on stage.
Playing gigs is all the practice I need and I get paid for it.

>>128351804
Ah just typical corporate bullshit then, I hope you find private gigs as a guitar repair guy if you haven't been working another job already

I forgot to delete one word, not even close to an ESL. English is my only language, nigger.

>>128352056
Isn't that what this guy says all the time? I know he's a spaz but he's also literally the only youtube I know of that will actually do frequency response graphs for pups/speakers/amps

The bass overdrive sounds good without the super OD. Definitely dont need both in the direction im going. Might not even need the bass OD after i get my muff. Whammy also wasnt for me. Sounds okay but I dont think its something I'll use a lot. I think the aftershock might also end up going once I get my pro co rat on Friday. I do feel as if I'm getting to the sound I want.

>>128352177
How do I into pedals? Start with one an experiment with it?

I want it

>>128352177
Throw the SD1 in front of the muff when you get it just to try it out. That's one of my favorite uses for a mid focused OD: pushing a fuzz pedal. I want to nitpick about all of your pedals being on the top row but it's not important at the end of the day.

>>128352266
Depends on what you want to do but yeah. Best place to start is overdrive, fuzz, delay, and reverb imo. Those 4 pedals will cover 99% of what most people want to do anyway.

>>128352266
Start with overdrive + EQ, you can get alot of tones with just that. Just turn the knobs and experiment.

>>128352266
I barely know what I'm doing. I watch YouTube and ask questions here. The people hear are pretty informative. You probably dont need more than 4 but I have a lot cause im a compulsive buyer

>>128352301
I think my main problem is not knowing how to handle the mids and high boost that come with distortion/OD. So I'll definitely give that a try. They are all in the high row so I can use patch cables. I also hate it

>>128352344
tone knob on the guitar is the best way to cut mids and trebles equally across all frequencies

>>128352266
If you don't know what to even get do you really need pedals? It's not a secret club bro

Pedals are gay

Pedals are based but you don't need a spaceship control panel. /gg/ is good about keeping boards straightforward it seems

I don't like any of you.
