This will be the last time I post this image upon learning Gibson has been supporting faggots.
>>127621904yeehaw
>>127621904Gibson players are more likely to shoot a nazi (they own guns and love freedom)
>>127621904i don't see this tranny shit playing out well for gibson
Playing guitar was really fun at first but now I have a melody stuck in my head that I can't listen to because it doesn't actually exist and I struggle to play it.
>>127621957Nazis care more about freedom than libshits ever could
>>127621904Vintage spec Telecasters are the only exception to this Fender rule.
>>127621969Nothing they could do would play out well for them. Their guitars are just useful for dad rock and blues. Both demographics that will be vanished in 20 years.
>>1276220092 more weeks!
Several now archived threads ago...in a galaxy far far away...An Anon and I got talking about chord theory and interval recognition in relation to guitar. After discussion that really went no where, we said to one another if we find something that explains this music notation interval recognition in a concise manner that we'd post it.Well I finally found something that seems to match that (see the attached long pic compilation) and these pages are scanned from Alfred's Chord Encyclopedia (not by me). Anyhow, I hope this finds the Anon who asked. I'm still working through it all and can't answer questions about it yet as I don't know what I'm doing yet...but it seems to list chord construction rules built on the intervals in a concise manner.You'll have to chop it up into smaller pics if you want it in a different size/format. I am not going to post 5 different jpg's.
>>127621957why would I shoot a nazi? they're preferable to troons and slack jaw leftists in every way.
>>127621986No point in getting them when a G&L ASAT exists
>>127622009their acoustic division is probably as large as their electric
>>127622009A Gibson excels in all genres. They'll be around 50 years from now easily.
>>127622009>Their guitars are just useful for dad rock and blues. >Both demographics that will be vanished in 20 years.Please no, I'm sure these guitars can be used for something else.
>>127622009>the default dual humbucker guitar is bad for everything except genres dominated by single coils
First for Cort.
>>127622097>no inlaysnice.
>>127622096Have you ever seen a metalhead with a Gibson?
>>127621854>See amp I want on sale >Call store and ask if I can trade in my other amp I just bought from them less than two months ago>Gives me a rough quote for half of purchase price and I'd have to pay an extra 200$ to snag new ampShould I go for it? Newer amp has better modeling speakers in it for sound response, my current amp is fine but I only have a handful of tones that don't sound like horsedick
>>127622130Store is keking you, if you bring it in they'll put it up for more than you traded it for
>>127622122...is this a trick question?
>>127622130that's more than you'd getting selling it anywhere else instead of private which could take who knows how long. amp is more important than the guitar if you think it's $200 better go for it and see if they'll throw in some strings or something
>>127622130No, you are supposed to hoard amps, save money and stack the new one on top of the old one.>Newer amp has better modeling speakersWhat are modeling speakers? Are you buying a PA or something?
>>127622122Metallica plays Gibs back when they were metal.
>>127622175>post a dead musician to prove that Gibson is not dying already

>>127622122
>>127622221the iconic gibby v was a bootleg tho
>>127622284He played gibson for like the last 2 years. He was always bcrich, jackson, and dean maybe esp at some point.
good brands:DeanBC RichWashburn
>>127622299I smell like this
>>127622321based and garbage pilled
>>127622305Not the Explorer, and not Hammet's.
>good brandanything made entirely in japan
>>127622356So MIJ Fenders are good to you?
>>127622367Only non basswood ones.
>>127622367those are designed in commiefornia so no
>>127622413Alright bro here's your alder strat.>>127622435Fender JP is it's own entity and does their own guitars. Fender US does it better though, being the originals.
I think squier is hard carrying fender at this point
>>127622590idk why I like squier so much but have a distaste for epiphone
>>127622598the price tags don't help
>>127622598squier is a cooler name than epiphone
>>127622632I like gibson, I'm ok with fender (still haven't clicked with one yet, but I think a jaguar might be what I want), I like (most) squiers, I dislike epiphone
>>127622678squiers and fenders have the same headstock shape and fender also puts their name on the headstock somewhere. gibson wants no association with epiphone and epi headstock design is fucking ugly
>>127622669Also, they only gay the logo, not the entire headstock.
>>127622598The Epi planks under $500 are ass compared to CVs. There are good Epiphones but they come out almost twice the price. Paranormals are great too and none of them have a current Fender counterpart.

I have no strong feelings about Ibanez
If I don't own any acoustics, is a standard 6 string or 12 string worth getting first?
>>1276229476 string, def
>>127622947are you listening to music that implies that a 12 string guitar is commonplace?
Acoustics are good gimmicks, 12 strings are like the sequel that makes the gimmick overbearing
>>127622966Yes, music I listen to uses both 6-string and 12-string.I suppose what I'm really asking is will I be limiting myself to just strumming if I choose a 12-string over a 6?
>>127622367>FendersFenders are garbage. Ugly headstocks. Necks feel like shit. Get a charvel, ESP, jackson, kramer instead. Preferably before these brands were tained by gibson and fmi.
>>127623002I've had multiple 12 string guitarsunless you're buying a proper good one they're not worth fucking withof course you can do more than strum with one they're just more of a hassle
>>127623045>unless you're buying a proper good one they're not worth fucking withWas looking at the Taylor 454 CE
>>127623002no, mandolin players play lead all the time
>>127623063not a fan of taylors personally but I'm sure that one is built well, which is the most important part
>>127623036all of those brands would be dead without gibson and fender stepping in.
>>127623081What's wrong with Taylor?I've heard good things about the 454ce and I also really like it aesthetically
>>127623106I don't like their bright modern sound
>>127623124>he uses new strings on an acoustic
>>127623091Not ESP
ILIKEIBANEZ
>>127623148you clearly have no experience with this
Obsessive brand loyalty is gay. Play what you like.
>>127623124What acoustics do you recommend then? I really just want to hear the difference in sounds
Which song do you have the most fun playing?
>>127623238I like gibson, martin, and larriveethat doesn't matter though because what sounds I like aren't important, only you can decide what you likethere are loads of comparison videos on youtube between different brands and models but the best option is always to try them out yourself, though with higher end stuff that can be a challenge and youtube comparisons can sometimes be the only option
>>127622212The spark 2, which allegedly managed to fix their bass response issues from the spark 1 and uses something called FRDR cones for the stereo speaker setup.I mainly want those roland 120, marshall plexi, and the klon sounds desu, positive grid bias seems to do as good a job of replicating toob amp dynamics as boss does now, I just haven't used any pure modelers like that that run off an IC since old line 6 garbage in 2008. I like my current practice amp but again only 3 of the 8 effects are usable and boss fucked me by not including tone studio for it.>picrel
>>127623148he's right tho. basically every guitar that isn't a martin or is specifically trying to copy a martin are very bright. they sound very articulate and balanced but it's not going to sound the same as half the acoustic recordings in the known universe. the martin sound is like a tone knob is rolled off, they have practically no high end. its not bad for campfire strumming but if you put two guitars next to eachother it sounds like you're hearing the martin from the other side of a wall. taylors are specifically really bright tho, even their 517/717 models which are trying to compete with martins are quite bright.
>>127623260wreck of the edmund fitzgerald always hits right, but it changes for me. right now it's arkansas traveler and ive rearranged the song to combine the lead and rhythm into a basic arrangement but ill move on to a new song and do the same thing and come back when im better and can arrange the same thing at an intermediate level
>>127623260the boxer
>>127623237I like Jizzmasters
Being a rapist doesn't define who I am.
>>127623420I don't understand why the bright sound is a bad thing
>>127623577who are you
>>127623605That's not important.
>>127623585it isn't, they're designed to sound that wayI just don't like it
Post cool ESPs
>>127623585it's subjective. but i just explained that when people hear a sound in their head from an already recorded-song, 98% of the time it's either a gibson j45 or a martin d18/d28. it's not wrong it just is what it is. sometimes a guitar can sound objectively better but not sound "right" or what people are used to
HALTIf you won multiple guitars and one of them is expensive like a real Gibson as a main guitar, do you only buy other expensive guitars afterwards or do you still buy other shapes for other genres and use cases at lower pricepoints or is that considered pleb tier afterwards?
>>127623687i sell the Gibson to better other cheaper guitars
>>127623687buy what you want, man
>>127623687i only have one very good guitar and a similar yet cheaper backup in case the main one needs repairs
>>127623761Based take
>$300 guitar with $400 pickups sounds and feels better than $700 guitar
>>127623793What do you use when you want to play some bullshit that's in drop A>>127623761I'm more interested in if there's a quality that people that own expensive guitars personally can't go below because it feels worse.Which pricepoint is the minimum you don't hate playing? $1000
2000s emo rock is actually fun to play
>>127623836my cheapest guitar is a $1000 japanese stratI don't really want to go lower than that, if only because it's rare to find US or japanese made guitars below that point
>>127623836i only play funk, motown, classic rock, older country, singer/songwriter and bluegrass. its all standard tuning.
So my son got into playing guitar a few months ago and he's started straying away from lead parts and found more interest in strumming.How do I steer him away from strumming/rhythm and get him back to playing lead?
>>127623887rhythm is a lot harder. if you can play good rhythm, lead is easy so i wouldn't worry about it
>>127623899NTA but how do I get good at rhythm? I'm actually more interested in it because I do really enjoy strumming.
>>127623909learn bluegrass. you will incorporate things like walking and alternating bass and merging the melody into the rhythm. jazz is a good place to learn chord leading and alternate voicings. hear it in your head, write down the target notes and play it very slowly but cleanly and then build up the speed
>>127623909Play strum patterns to metronome. If you also change chords while you do it, it's very enjoyable, this activity can easily consume my entire practice time. Get random ones at https://www.rhythmrandomizer.com/ If you random one that sucks, roll again.
>>127623909again, this guy is pretty good for covering rhythm in bg. here's a sample of what you can do over an incredibly simple chord progression https://youtu.be/Ne7k7F4htMk
My guitar is still made out of basswood, guys.
>>127624117Enjoy your bass bro.
>>127623846" fun to play" in other words turn your brain off an play a c power chord for a bar of two then the same thing but g then a then f on loop the whole song while the other dick head in the band just noodles 3 or 4 different notes high on the necl of the guitar while the faggoty ass singer singer goes I REMEMBER LATES NIGHTS COME HOME THE PROMISED THINGS ID NEVER REMEMBER THE TIMES THAT WED WATCH OUR FAVORITE 80S MOVIES IM LIKE RAPLH MACCIO AND YOURE THAT BITCH THEY REPLACED IN THE SECOND ONE, IM THROWIN ROCKS AT YOU WINDOW SITTING OUT SIDE WITH MY BOOM BOX LIKE SAY ANYTHING, i READ LOTS OF BOOKS AND I KNOW LOTS OF WORDS, LIFE IS LIKE DYING APPLE IN RED WINE*bridge is just the fucking chorus but one note every bar and the drummer slows down* *back up vocalist repeats the lyrics in the background over and over drowning out all the instruments and it sounds like nobody is olaying in time at this cant blame em just waiting for it to over like most normal people still listening*Im so fucking glad emo pop is dead holy shit
>>127623899>rhythm is le hardIts basically what the guy here described in the beginning of this any retard can do it>>127624329Its like a side kick position. You do it while waiting to become a real guitarist. Dedicating yourself to rhythm is just giving up early. Oh giving up early could be the perfect name for this guys faggoty ass sons shitty emo band i guess
Zakk Wylde anyone?
>>127623823Only if you chose the pickups yourself.
>>127624355it's only as hard as you make it. if you want to settle for mediocrity that's on you
>>127622130Do you own a tube amp? If not, get one of those first.
boomer tutor won't shut up about fingerblasing his wife right before practice improves his slides and bends
>>127624355>You do it while waiting to become a real guitaristYou don't know real rhythm players.
>>127622590The Sonic series is light years better than any of their other budget lines of the last 25+ years. They are on par with Indonesian fenders, because they are Indonesian fenders.
>>127624476he listens to punk and emo. dude barely knows what an instrument is, cut him some slack
>>127624483Maybe if you only want a Strat. The Sonic Mustang frets are sharp and it lacks Mustang features. Sonic Tele frets are also sharp and the pickups are weak. No Jags and the next tier up uses Strat pickups.
>>127623260I enjoy playing CKY riffs and playing and singing RHCP stuff like Soul to Squeeze, Wet Sand, Breaking the Girl, Parallel Universe.
>>127624329Don’t skip your meds
>>127624329https://youtu.be/ri_Ik2H561Mfucking retard
>>127624074I do that a lot with 60bpm and 120bpmOne thing I'm worried about is when it's sixteenth notes, I can go between quarter and eighth notes pretty well but sixteenth is really quick and I feel it messes up my time.

Any of you guys ever play any of the old Ibanez Artist series guitars from the 70s and 80s? There’s one locally that’s been for sale for a while and I’m thinking about seeing if he wants to trade for my Japanese Mustang. I’m really picky about humbucker guitars and this might be something worth checking out. Pic is just one off reverb, not the actual guitar
>>127625370It is, and I 100% need to bring a better setup altogether. It doesn't sound great at all and is mainly just there because you can't catch lightning without a bottle.
>>127625099>>127625254This a 3 piece setup or do you sing too?
>>127625469He just farts into the microphone like every true /gg/ vocaroo nord
>>127625397does anyone really like these double cut les pauls? the shape is somehow so unpleasant. and i think if you want a les paul you're going to use a les paul for les paul things, if you want to shred, get another guitar?
>>127625469Drummer and I are just getting a dozen or so song foundations cranked out before we add vocals and bass. This project is barely 3 weeks old.
>>127625254I like the noose hanging from the ceiling
>>127625415For sure, I imagine it sounds more like the room itself than the instruments. You could put that condenser (if it does cardioid) facing the drum kit, a few feet back, at roughly snare height and get a decent sound. Then throw a dynamic on the guitar cab. Those Sennheiser E609s are great for this because you can just hang it in front of the speaker, no stand needed.
>>127625569I like them but not that one. Sometimes it's not even about playing the upper frets, it's about being able to hold it down there.
>>127625569It will sound exactly like a Les Paul but have its own unique look
>>127625570good idea laying the bass last
>>127625397I want to drill 2100 holes in it and install 25 switches like Grateful Dead.
What's the best ring finger/pinky finger separation exercise?
i noticed pretty often songs have melodies are often grouped in similar sections like 2-3 fret on the 2nd and 3rd and 5th strings and usually those melodies have for some reason 4th fret on the third string at times. is there a reason for this?
>>127625816probably staying with a scale shape they are familiar with, also melodies are more enjoyable and memorable if they don't make large jumps inbetween pitches constantly. improvising doesn't necessarily mean just playing random shit everywhere on the neck.
>>127625569I like double cuts. I’ve never played. Les Paul that left me feeling like I wanted it other than Specials and Juniors. Something about regular old LPs just don’t click with me. I have a hard time finding the right humbucker guitar for me, I like my Super Sonic but I also just want something that isn’t as Fender-y, and this Ibanez is in town and different. He’s also got an old first gen Iceman that might be cool but those are way out of my type of guitar range. I don’t shred. If I did shred maybe the Iceman would be right up my alley.
>>127626048>I’ve never played. Les Paul I’ve never played a Les Paul that left me feeling etc
>>127626048try a 24 fret with humbuckers. only way it's really going to sound different
>>127625569Double cuts are the best body shape imo but they're hard to get right
https://voca.ro/1gkF4TSJjPk8
>>127623887Let the boy play anon. He will inevitably get into interspersed lead with chords if he’s any good and sticks with it. What kind of music does he like?
>>127626048I get it man, Specials are the only LPs that click with me.
>>127624117It’s not THAT bad. My only basswood is my MG73 Mustang and while it’s not as resonant as my alder mustangs it’s still pretty loud unplugged and sounds better than my poplar Sonic Mustangs. Maybe it’s more noticeable on bigger bodies, but I wouldn’t know, my MIJ Jag is alder. If I ever build a partscaster it will be swamp ash.
Should the bass follow the kick drum in the drums?I played with a band for the first time this week at church, but I had the slight impression that I wasn’t 100% synchronized with the drums, although I was keeping time according to the chord charts I was reading. I didn’t get any feedback about my performance, only comments about the fact that I played that night. I’m puzzled. Did I play badly? Could the bass have sounded dissonant and out of harmony with the other instruments?
>>127624565Sharp fret edges are an easy fix, I actually bought my sonic Mustang to practice filing them. I have 3 other Fender Mustangs, I’m just saying the Sonic is a great value compared to older Squiers. Much nicer quality, holds tuning better than any Gibson I’ve ever played. They’re on par with the Standard and even Player II Mustangs which is insane.
>>127626373it's an easy way to feel locked in with the drums, but it prob gets boring if you do it the entire time. what intervals were you playing, and what was the rhythm you were following? some worship songs can have driving eighth notes baked in to the song and people can expect those sometimes
I never knew you could get angry playing guitar https://youtu.be/Vms_6_TSQuc
I live an hour away from PRS, wondering if they have a sales floor.
>>127626419>what intervals were you playing, and what was the rhythm you were following? I have no idea. I've only been playing for two months. I was trying to play the original rhythm
>>127622130UPDATE:They said the best they could do was 45$ in store credit because the new guitar center ceo is a hardass or something and it'd been over 45 days. That's roughly 1/4th initial purchase price, I was expecting roughly half as a lowball.Would've been out of pocket 250$ had I gone with it for the new amp, just walked and I'm going to suffer with the little guy for now.Oh and I'm only going to buy gear/strings off of amazon or sweetwater from now on.
>>127626498i don't want to paint you into a box but you can play the root 5th or octave and never step over anything unless the .0001% of cases where you're playing augmented or diminished chords. experiment with it a bit in practice or rehearsal if you do those things. if it feels like it needs some energy you can switch to eighth notes. if you don't feel it, don't play it. if you didn't get any side eyes you didn't do anything wrong but if you feel like the song has too much space add something rhythmically
>>127626601See if you can sell it on ebay or something
>>127626601just save up for a good amp and quit getting nickle and dimed on shit like this
>>127626498>>127626635if you want some ideas for what you can do with just R/5/8 look up james jamerson basslines:you keep me hangin onbernadettestanding in the shadows of lovereach out i'll be there
The only thing wrong with my loud, dirty, yellow, Japanese gf is she’s made of basswood.
>>127626686I could buy a marshall head right now and throw it on my randall cab (rip randall head) and still have my down payment for my house.This isn't about nickle and diming, this is about knowing my limits and principles... WHICH GUITAR CENTER DOESN'T FUCKING HAVE
>>127626722oh nice, you got itfine tuners ok?I hear those can get stripped out can drill larger, retap and put a helicoil in if they do tho
>>127626722Basswood or not she's pretty.

damn... scotty says it takes a year to get fast at (barre) chord changes. was this your experience?
I'm practicing with a metronome and when I change chords playing all 6 strings to just 4 string (D chord) I find my tempo becoming faster, how do I fix this?
>>127626934chill
why do fat necks exist when thin necks exist?
>>127627057?
>>127626755Yeah, thanks anon. I had an RG570 before this, and I absolutely love fine tuners. These fortunately are all fine.>>127626797Thanks anon! I appreciate that a ton.
>>127627095He's saying fall into the groove instead of anticipating the chord change
>>127622552> Fender US does it better though, being the originals.
>>127626893no one plays barre chords?
diabeetus Barbara adds her signature hamburger grease to every guitar she works on at fender usa
>>127623171
>>127626893I was afraid of them at first but realizing that you're just completing a power chord, then how that plays into CAGED... much less dramatic. Getting index finger pressure is a PitA initially tho
>>127627220looks like a cheap grx20
>>127627171Where's the lie? You’re really gonna say MIJ is better than MIA?
for me, it's the zappa mod goldtop
>>127627200thing is they're mostly an extension of the "cowboy chords", just so you can play the same in other keys. skip them and go straight into 7th and diminished 6th chords
>>127627238all the best workers have been deported, pretty soon even mexican fenders will be nicer than the us ones
>>127627224>>127627253i appreciate the advice but completely understand what barre chords are. i'm just asking how long it took to be able to do them cleanly at 90 bpm+
>>127627233shall we step it up a notch then?
>>127627280>neck breaks before the headstock impressive
>>127627274if you practice consistently you can see progress in weeks, not months
>>127627280Why is this guy destroying beautiful instruments?
>>127627305it increases the value of existing guitars
>>127627304i could try practicing more than 5x2 mins a day but have seen progress. been about two months and i've gotten open D to B minor switch to 80 bpm very clean. wish it was faster progress but it's honest progress
>>127627305>cherry sunburst>beautifulpick one
>>1276272612 more weeks until Fender is Finished
>>127627324instead of playing chords try doing arpeggios, will give our fingers more room and time to change position. eventually it'll be easier to move them into chords at once
Who else unplugged tonight?
>>127627406thanks, sounds like good advice. i'll give it a go
>>127627088Fat necks are better
>>127627274If it's just the E or A barred like, a day or two, it's not difficult chief

>he’s still struggling with E shape barre chords Just wait til you start playing C or G or diminished barre chords.
>>127627452Body wood literally does not matter as long as it's a well treated piece. For neck wood Maple is the best.
>>127627433you learned your F barre chord and was able to cleanly change from open C to F at 100 bpm in a day?
i play metal. i don't do barre chords.
>>127627565Yeah just one finger drop d power chords he’ll yeah
I don’t play metal. I play a lot of 6th, 7th, 9th, and 11th chords.
>>127627572that's all you need
>practice with metrnome>speed up on chord changesThis is really pissing me off
>>127627634stop playing the last beat before the change and focus on playing the change in time then add it back when you're comfortable
>>127627634Wait until you play with a band and realize that songs naturally speed up and slow down because it feels better/more natural that way. Keeping time is important but your internal metronome is more important than the one on your desk.
after listening to many /gg/ vocaroos i am confident the guy above me believes what he is saying
>>127627718How can you tell how well or poorly I play in time based on my farts?
>>127627747you should aspire to fart in time
>>127627589i don't play anything under a 13th
Riddle me this tough guyHow am I out of time when I wrote the song?You didn't write it, you don't know whats writtenits intentionalhttps://voca.ro/1dxaY05hk8vA
>>127627718After playing with dozens of drummers over 2 decades, I agree.
>>127627818that's cool and all but natural tempo variations have nothing to do with being able to play in time and properly subdivide beats
>>127627824I never said it did. I should have just linked to the "chill" comment anon made earlier tbdesu
all i'm saying is don't tell everyone timing isn't important and don't practice with a metronome and upload a "solo" that's all eighth notes.
>>127627842where the hell did the rest of the note go
>>127627852trapped inside the metronome
>>127627842>and upload a "solo"That wasn't me nor did I tell anyone timing wasn't important.
>>127627886i wasnt singling anyone out. im just saying ive heard the vocaroos and it would be prudent for one to think if suggesting "don't worry about the metronome" is sound advice given the present company (gg). half of musical interest is rhythm if not more, with the rest being harmony/melody. there's nothing with working on your timing and i think it's admirable to seek continual improvement.
How important is learning rhythm guitar before soloing? How much time should I spend doing boring stuff like practicing chord changes, strumming patterns, and playing in time before I get to the part that everyone loves with soloing fast?
when gibson copied the mustang
>>127627974All of those “boring” things are infinitely more important than playing fast solos. Fast solos are built upon the foundations of those “boring” things.

I hate relicing so much, but watching videos of people matching the finish of new replacements parts on old beat up guitars so the new finish looks like it belongs paired with the old parts is really interesting. In that sense relicing is pretty cool.

I want to buy a Bass but can't decide between black (pickguard too) or sunburst color, both with maple neck.
wait for it...

difference between active and passive bass pick ups?
>>127628656some of us are sleeping
>>127628674Passives are good and Actives are overpowered gimmicks
"The true pulse of the music is always somewhere between the mind and soul of each involved." Pictured is Gary Greaser addressing the somber crowd, before the encore at his bands gig at the Crowley Rice Festival (1978, Crowley Parish, Louisiana)
If someone wanted a mij fender Strat, would it be any cheaper to do it as a project- like buying a body, neck and the hardware separately, or just outright buying the guitar?Im mainly interested in doing a project, but finding mij Strat bodies and necks separately is not only hard but seems a little sketch if I’m being honest.Also, on a side note, I found this really cool little mim on marketplace earlier.If I didn’t already have a guitar, and it was closer…
>>127628720Definitely just buy the whole guitar, you're paying imports on all the parts even if you could source them.
>>127628674rather than active pickups, an active preamp with a parametric eq is far more useful for bass
>>127628735Oh I didn’t even think about that. Even if they’re old parts though?What about mim or mia?
Drinking and playing king crimson on bassNot a bad day
>>127628691The newspaper clipping the quote is from. They toured Louisiana sporadically till the mid-80's. Playing roadhouses and fairs. The occasional theatre gig as well, in the big cities.

This man has ruined me from playing anything but 21 fret Strats.I mean, I already had one. He just made me not want anything else.If only if I had the equivalent wife.

>>127630592Child slave labor.You'll destroy your Karma if you buy one. 100 years of demon assrape (totally metal, if you're into that sort of thing). And then reincarnate as an Indian.
whats with cheap electric guitars having satin finishes now a days?
>>127630615Easy for the slaves to do.
>>127630605isnt every guitar made overseas using child labor?
>>127630605ever thought about where your phone comes from?
>>127630624Not child labor. Proper slaves.
>>127630615they just put different paint in the paint gun, what's hard to understand?
>>127630630I barely use phones. Just whatever was given to me by AT&T to call my mom occasionally. I don't technically "own" it, do I? Think it's kind of just on loan.
>>127630605>>127630592It's time to accept that cnc can handle a massive chunck of the guitar building process. A well running assembly line can knock out planks for much less than the major brands.
>>127630640hopefully the gods will understand when your time comes then
>>127630645and yet even with cnc running the majority of US production, they still charge out the ass
>>127630649Ignorance is bliss.It's what you don't know, not what you know.That said, I don't even know if there's actual children involved. You know I'm just messing with you guys, right? Go ahead and enjoy your Chibson. It's only a gamble. Sometimes you lose.
CNC or not, I can only get a proper 21 fret Strat in lacquer from the US. And there's no point in getting anything else.Quite possible to 24.75 lacquer guitars all over the place. Quite possible to get 25.5 22 fret lacquered guitars easily too. But not the 21 frets. Not because they aren't capable. They just don't bother with it. Japan is the closest with their Trad models, but rarely use Lacquer. Which is cool. No slaves there. I'd buy that for a poly guitar if I wanted one.
does Ibanez use child labor?
>>127630716Not in Japan. Japan just drives regular hard working adults to suicide. But no slavery.
>>127630724what about their Chinese made guitars
>>127630705its one less fret literally no one cares
>>127630624just yours
>>127630722really puts the 'dread' in dreadnought huh
>>127630722bc richmore like bbc bitch
>>127630732I wouldn't doubt it. There are records of both slavery and child slavery in China. And the regular workers aren't doing so hot either. The idea of a Chinese middle class is a lie, shilled by both corps and the CCP and dragging all of us down with them. They especially count on the American consoomer just not giving a shit. And they don't.
>>127630762>The idea of a Chinese middle class is a liegood thing its still alive and well in the USA fellow middle classer
has anyone figured out how to connect their guitar to their amp yet?
>>127630736Magnetic window. kek. The neck pickup on a Strat is placed right where a 24th would otherwise be. You can get harmonics right over the pickup. And it has to be single coil. Not even an HB would work.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e5eu0O0c7wYou can technically achieve this ona 22 fret, but it's a shoddy process where the fretboard overhangs.
>>127630773If it was alive, their factories would have easily taken the hit of the tarriffs and not shut down. They couldn't sell anything back to Chinese consumers. They don't have dispensable income Which is what middle class does, at the end of the day.Most of the money Chinese goods earns goes straight to the CCP instead. That's why they've built their military up so quickly.
