just kidding, they're great. the red and blue do NOT sound like a strat though, they are humbucker sounding. but they're not humbuckers and they don't buck hum. and 2 and 4 positions don't buck hum so I guess they aren't rwrp. but the 60 cycle hum is VERY quiet, they are virtually noiseless and playing with gain is not a problem at all, very quiet noise

I push air with my Celestion Greenback 30's and my Orange Rockerverb 50 tube amp
I'm not trying to mimick a recording. A recording, no matter how masterfully done, will ever capture the magic of a Tube Amplifier roaring through a well built cabinet equipped with Celestion Greenbacks.
This is what computer nerds don't understand.
The electric guitar is meant to be loud. Playing electric guitar isn't about recording like a fucking diary nerd, and listening on headphones at moderate levels.
When I plug my American guitar into my British amp and let it rip, it shakes your bones. I don't waste my time trying to sound like a record.

>>122587639
What I mean to say is that the only way to go lower is to tune the guitar down. The first chord is Em

That’s not the only way to sing lower. You can change the key with a capo to allow you to sing lower. Try capo 4 for starters.

I waste my time watching guitars/gear reviews. Again.
For some reason there are very few Strandberg vs Steinberger comparisons, despite both sharing the "ergonomics first, features second, looks third" ethos.
>>
I'm going through my "let me experiment with shit that may not hold my interest" phase and I wanna try picking up electric guitar. Well, guitar in general, I've zero experience. Questions:
>I have a Scarlett Solo for interfacing my mic and PC already, am I correct in understanding I can plug a guitar into it and do all the fancy effects and amps and shit with virtual amps? I don't need a physical amp?
>What's the absolute bottom of the barrel in terms of price point for a guitar that will serve the purpose of "for learning/building up muscle memory/finger strength, but still sounds okay"? I already have enough sense to not trust the 60 dollar china special bundles from Amazon where somehow it's a guitar, amp, and like 20 accessories, but what's the minimum price point of entry?
I know that it's bad to approach hobbies with a "cost first" approach, but... I'm fuckin broke, man... And I don't wanna sink 500 bucks on my impulsive interest...

I think instruments more than any other hobby are one of those things you need to make sure you are enjoying the process. As such you can't really "get away with" bottom of the barrel shit cuz it'll probably be a piece of shit that sounds like shit and feels like shit, and you will hate playing it and will not WANT to learn. That said do you really WANT it that badly, you yourself admitted it's just a passing fad. Even assuming some $80 piece of shit was the perfect instrument, do you see yourself actually sticking with it enough to justify the purchase?

I think instruments, more than any other hobby, are one of those things [where] you need to make sure you are enjoying the process.

As such, you can't really "get away with" bottom of the barrel shit, cuz it'll probably:

- be a piece of shit
- that sounds like shit
- and feels like shit

And you will hate playing it and will not WANT to learn.

That said, do you really WANT [to learn] it that badly? You, yourself, admitted it's just a passing fad. Even assuming some $80 piece of shit was the perfect instrument, do you see yourself actually sticking with it enough to justify the purchase?

There's always the option of buying something of decent value at a shop, if they have any sort of return policy you have that long to determine if you actually want it (30 days, probably?) Practice and play the shit out of it that first month, if you realize you weren't actually into this whole thing just return it. If you are into it you have a guitar that isn't complete shit and won't have to worry too much about upgrading for a while as you continue learning.

It's a Stratocaster both without balls and sustain. Just a really shrill, useless guitar unless you're Johnny Marr. Can't understand why you wouldn't get a Strat, Telecaster or Jazzmaster instead. I'm sorry to hate, but I feel it needs to be said.

John plays a Jag
So Jags can't suck
Nothing he plays sucks
>>

>why you wouldn't get a Strat, Telecaster or Jazzmaster instead
I wonder why mustang isn't there. Jaguar is a short scale strat with improved vibrato, updated ergonomics and amputated middle pickup.

I've never really heard anything that impressive by John Freshfruitsmoothie. Just sloppy sliding into chords, buzzing hammer ons and pull offs.

Well, just in general, a Jaguar should be your last option. You should only get that if you're really into Fender and you've already bought every other model possible, obscure or popular. Only then should you bother buying a Jaguar. I don't see the reason for a Jaguar being your first or even 40th guitar.

Update to this
Found someone selling a used Ibanez Gio on Craigslist for 80 bucks. Full sized.
Looks like that's about the right price point for a used one of these? Very much a "beginners guitar" but it's like 200ish new that I can see.
Still have a few hours til work ends and I meet the dude, if the model is utter shit please feel free to tell me
Emphasizing again I've got zero knowledge and am more looking for something I can get my fingers on and start working at the basics rather than something that's amazing and stage ready
>>
>>122591245
Should've bought a more expensive amp then. Katana is still digishit.
>>
>>122587644
Acoustic steel string is the absolute worst guitar to start on as a beginner, what are those retards thinking?
>>
>>122591399
at least gaytana is fully digital
av60 sounds like shit on low volume and the od channel sounds somewhat muddy/weird even with le real tube emulation xd, so it has worst qualities of both worlds
I thought 12" speaker and volume headroom (main reason I've bought it, not fake tubes) would make it at least bearable, but it's just not inspiring to play. Online comments were misleading as well

I hate being poor bros, it's not fair
>>
>>122591397
Literally just >>122589562
Buy a fucking squier, if you're absolutely povertymode you can get a used one for like 60 bucks probably because there's thousands of them laying around after children and retards like you get them for gifts and then drop the hobby after a month

True and both suck. One is cheap shit and the other is digishit.

>I have a Scarlett Solo for interfacing my mic and PC already, am I correct in understanding I can plug a guitar into it and do all the fancy effects and amps and shit with virtual amps? I don't need a physical amp?
Yes. 2i2 is better but solo is fine.
>>What's the absolute bottom of the barrel in terms of price point for a guitar that will serve the purpose of "for learning/building up muscle memory/finger strength, but still sounds okay"? I already have enough sense to not trust the 60 dollar china special bundles from Amazon where somehow it's a guitar, amp, and like 20 accessories, but what's the minimum price point of entry?
Yamaha Pacifica and onwards for guitar.
Cheapshit is risky because they will need adjustments and fretwork which you can't do as absolute noob.
There are decent smaller amps for 100 dollars. But for focusrite you don't need amp.
Go to a guitar store and try guitars and amps out. Pay attention to weight distribution, fretwork (they shouldn't have sharp edges), and general sound quality. Tell the guys there to set it up for you.

But yea when in doubt: Yamaha Pacifica.

>>122589562

Something similar happened to me a while ago. I actually was interested in guitars at first, but I ended up selling my gear for cheap because I needed the money. Biggest mistake of my life once I realized how much I liked playing. Took me forever to repurchase everything.

Somewhat. I was working with 3d graphics and stuff. And it all went downhill
All it took for me to get into guitars is hearing a cover of my favorite song, and it wasn't even a cover but just a video of a guy explaining how to play the song. The tone was so sweet, oh man

>>122591759
I can push myself a bit and buy something, but then again I have no idea what should I do.
Should I sell the box and buy AC4? AC15 is a bit too much, and I was recently watching that amp boomer PsionicAudio and it seems like cheap vox tube amps (ac10, ac4?) have shitty PCB that is hard to repair and can fail easily

Or should I buy better pickups to swap in my s-queer cv jazzmaster? People say stock pickups suck and have almost no treble compared to something like pure vintage, which checks out with my muddy sound experiences...

They’re not particularly good. I have had two acoustic Gibsons bought new and both had loose fitted pickups that rattled whenever you plucked a string. Returned one straight away, got the other fixed but eventually sold it as it was only ok sounding. QC is very poor.

C Standard is a sweet spot. It’s versatile and you can create really nice music with it. It just feels natural to write with, almost like it’s your second voice. I feel like I can say everything I want and how I want to with C Standard because the pitches resonate the best out of all the tunings. it’s a frequency thing, the vibrations aren’t so slow that it’s sludgy and they aren’t too fast that it’s speedy. C standard is a chill tuning and you can play how ever you want with it.
