>>128263464when they said toan is in the fingers they didn’t mean chicken fingers
At Woodstock '99 people rolled around in overflowing toilets like it was mud. At GG posters share each other's kaka openly.
>>128263388Some barres are genuinely hard though. I don't know if this one counts but D shape 'barres' (even though you only bar one string, are hard cause of the stretching required in the lower frets, like doing a XX1343 is a D sharp major and it's truly Mr Fantastic-esque
>>128263404What, like I'm a clown? I'm here to amuse you?
>>128263842Looking at your other guitars, I wouldn't have expected to see the V in there with them.
What's your favorite tuning? For me, it's D standard
SG = super gay
>>128263464Why not just play a Les Paul at that point?
>>128263842Pickup selector on the upper horn looks so dumb and impractical, I really don't get it.
Real niggas play that Boogie. Real niggas got that plexi
Thoughts on MiM Charvels? Do they mog every other metal/superstrat guitar in the sub-$1000 range? Or is there something else that mogs them?
>>128264004He probably would have as he was playing a LPs before his signature but fender approached him firsrt, plus those wide range pick ups are pretty different from humbuckers
>>128263842that vean looks giant compared to the others
>>128264004Good question I had a Kingfish tele for a bit and sold it because my Les Paul was better
>>128264038>chihuarvels go get a service inspection on your car before you buy one. there’s been a bout of bad luck going around
>>128263979For me it's FAGGAG my guy
>>128263842what's an N roll?
>>128264040Yeah that makes sense. I wonder how much freedom he gets in choosing what Fender makes for him. I'd go for something radical hmm. >>128264062I have a Tele Benton clone and a proper LP. The former sucks to play while standing cause it's got no arm contour and the latter sucks to play while sitting cause the bigger shape sits nicer.

>>128263979Eb standard
for me, its the humble jazzmaster
>>128264343Same here. Eb practically used to be E standard (baroque tuning is a few hertz off, I guess).
>>128264038I'm tempted into getting one myself.They have way better features than Fender's MIMs, despite being owned by Fender.
>>128264352>hey let's move the selector off the pickguard
>>128263842I hate it
>>128264426happy now?
>>128264404This be the one in question. Want one of these with the gotoh trem. Not the floyd.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGCwOMcMySIEither that or a similar Ibanez. It's a basswood body which sucks (but has stainless steel frets).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJoo3p_beqQ
>>128264607lol..didn't mean to post the misfits.
>>128264536Escape tone prison and look good doing it
>mogs your charvel
>>128264607What is your question?
>>128264536actually cooler than the jm since it looks original and no evertune.
>>128264536what’s the deal with the reviews in full fucking bodysuits
>>128264038I don’t even understand what “mogging” another guitar is supposed to mean. They are built well and have premium specs. If those are the specs you’re after then yes they’re very good.
>>128264661t. mogged guitar
>>128264649anon was asking about charvels. i guess i am too. I mostly play strats, but like keeping them SSS. i want some other little HH shredder around but with a classic trem.
>>128264660>it puts the lemon oil on the fretboard or it gets the hose again
sometimes simple is best
>>128264648what are these trems on guthrie's guitars? is it like a newer type of floyd? sorry for retarded question. i don't know shit about that stuff.
>>128264660looks like they just have a guy from the warehouse hold the guitar for the pic.i guess they probably have the sleeves and gloves for either dust or local weather and to avoid fingerprints for the pic
Who would you rather be your guitar teacher? Satchel or Guthrie? One's down to earth and will get you pussy, one's a real life classy wizard.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQtCFZjqFEYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkaqfgSqtHg
>>128264698kinda like a floyd but locking tuners instead of a locking nut and without the fine tuners
>>128264685these all look like toys because they're made from glass fibers or something so they don't have wood grains
>>128264723one will teach you to play the guitar and the other will teach you to look like you play the guitar
>>128264728oh that's a cool idea.
>>128264674I know he’s asking about them I’m just not sure wtf he’s asking. They’re Strats with Seymour Duncan or fishman fluence pickups and a Floyd rose. The necks are graphite reinforced unfinished or roasted maple and they’re thin with a pretty flat compound radius. If those are the specs you’re looking for in a guitar then they’re excellent. I have not had any build quality or otherwise complaints with the 3 I’ve owned. My main gripe is that most of the colors suck and they need to be more creative with exotic woods like Ibanez and schecter. I want to see more natural and burst finish guitars from them and less cheesy hair metal colors.
>>128264723I wouldn’t take guitar lessons from either of them
Im 30 years old and never played a musical instrument.Is it too late to learn? Its probably a mid life crisis but I want to learn electric guitar.
For me it’s a Telecaster plugged into a cranked blackface Fender
>>128264781Well, they come in hard tails and gotoh bridge models too. But they’re essentially all the same neck and body.
>>128264735>>128264795desu, every guitar teacher i've ever known was satchel. but i grew up in the 90s when these older 80s guys were still around.and i didn't like them back then. took me years to appreciate shredders.
>>128264798so learn. pick up a used whatever on fb marketplace for 100 bucks and noodle around, learn a simple song you like, see if you enjoy it
>>128264798It’s never too late to suck at guitar
>>128264812same
>>128264798not too late to become competent. a bit late to become a virtuoso speed demon but it could conceivably be done with time/effort and talent
>>128264729grandpa take
>>128264815I grew up in the 90s and my guitar teacher was Chris Broderick.
>>128264812wypipo wanna do blackface on stage so bad just get the facepaint and do it
>>128263572Gypsy music
>>128264798It's like $300 to start playing surely you can afford this with no consequences as an adult in his 30's
>>128264798Never too late brother. Go on Reverb and buy a used Boss Katana, used Squier Classic Vibe, and watch the YouTube series in the OP (https://youtu.be/Gg1L-sBIxnY). If you like it those are good starting places for gear, if you don’t like it they’ll be fairly easy sales locally depending on where you live.
>>128264812what does that even sound like?
>>128264849good
>>128264840Don’t buy a piece of shit to learn on though. At least get a classic vibe squier, Yama’s Pacifica, or something in the 4-500 dollar range. Get something that is playable out of the box. And then if you sell it you won’t lose much.
>>128264849probably loud and pretty harsh if you leave the tone on 10
>>128264849NTA, but blistering twangy blues. Probably heard more for being Dylan's early guitarist.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6yWZUv9QJA
>I need my $300 purchase to hold its value
>>128264881hardly anything holds value except fender, gibson, and PRS for some unknown reason.

>>128264897genuinely sounds great
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvNwhgaQtNE
>>128264915Fuck no that will play like shit.
we talking about shredders vs blonde teles now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXfZtlAPUNc
>>128264915Also don’t buy a Strat for a first guitar the bridges are finicky and hard to dial in. Go for something with a hard tail
>>128264916At Newport in ‘65 he made the sound guys and the guys running the event MAD because he was so loud, they were upset enough at going electric but then his volume was just absurd. He refused to turn it down. Like in the early/mid 60s there was loud and then there was Bloomfield loud. Imagine a Super Reverb in the studio or one/sometimes two Twin Reverbs live and those amps totally dimed out on volume and treble. That is LOUD and that was Bloomfield’s standard.
Alright, I've got a nice two string power chord riff going on for a lead, how do I create full chords for the rhythm to play behind it?According to a scale finder all the notes I'm playing are in the "E Major Bebop" scale but idk what that means
>>128264798I started at 34 and I haven’t experienced any problems other than occasional hand pain but I’ve also been a mechanic of some sort my entire life. I actually seemed to be learning faster than most people, but that’s probably a combination of actually having structured, effective practice and sticking to it and also being fairly intelligent. there’s no shortcut to figuring out technique, you’re going to have to put in the hours because everyone is different and no one can teach you true form because there isn’t one. learning is sucking and finding 20 different slight improvements that finally add up to clean, fast, accurate technique
>>128264728So...an original Floyd Rose.https://www.floydrose.com/products/frtnft
>>128264974>>128264935Whats a good budget first guitar then. I guess i gotta really look into it
>>128264976>Dylan did not return to the Newport festival for 37 years. In an enigmatic gesture, Dylan performed at Newport in 2002 sporting a wig and fake beard.holy based
>>128265007Yamaha Pacifica is kind of the standard for cheap.
>>128264038The mexican charvels have a reputation for being great guitars at American or near--American quality levels. I want to get my hands on one.
>>128264974I started on a Strat pawn shop copy, learned right handed despite being left (nobody told me) and didn't know how to tune for shit.Pretty sure everyone starts this way. Right?
>>128265060I’m left handed and have never had trouble picking up right handed concepts except shooting rifles and writing. both are doable but the quality of the output is abysmal
>>128265036>$260Pretty. No amp or anything else included though. Thanks for the help
>>128265094You’re not going to find anything worthwhile for that cheap with an amp included.
>>128265091Doing everything else sucks for me as a righty. I guess I could shoot but most guns are made for rightys and would empty the shells in my face. I just sort of fucked myself with the guitar and been this way too long it'd be a waste of time trying to relearn as a lefty.

>>128265111Yeah if you already started keep trucking I guess sorry man
>>128264915unless you're a 12yo begging your parents for a christmas gift no, never buy starter packs they only put the cheapest shit they can find in there
>>128265094Find a used Katana on marketplace or craigslist. Prob can snag a last gen 50 watter for $175 or so. They are good amps for beginners on a budget.
>>128265144those cheap ass gammas guitar center was selling were actually pretty good too might be able find one used also. katana is a better go I think tho I’m not sure
>>128265003yeah, just without the licensing fees i guess
>>128265144He doesn't even need 50 watts. Those little desktop katanas might be had for $100 less.
https://voca.ro/1k47XdbAGFox
>>128265094>>128265144Guitar center in north Fayetteville has a used one for $150 if you want the peace of mind of buying from a retailer.
>>128265203killer guitar work
>>128265176Katana's have a low power mode 0.5 watts. Most home players live there. The speaker in that thing isnt great but it beats anything else you will find in a sub-$200 amp

The only weird thing about Charvels is that Wayne Charvel himself has long since been gone from that company.. and makes Wayne guitars instead. So it has nothing to do with him. Same with Jackson.It might be better if Fender just put it all under their own brand. But you still get the Pro-Mod and Dinky etc names and shapes.
>>128266496Hate to say it, but he's right.
>>128266532I still would like one though.

>>128266013Ibanez PIA (Penis In Ass)
Joe Bonamassa in a final fuck you to the world writes it into his will that when he dies, every one of his rare guitars and amps is to be incinerated
>>128265718Dudes that look like that shouldn't be taken seriously.
>>128267568who cares, it's all the same old moldy les pauls that have been cloned a million times
>>128265094Don’t get a bundle, the amp will suck. Like other anons suggested find a used Yamaha thr, boss katana, or line 6 catalyst in the sub 200 dollar range near you. You’ll get actual usable tones and see way more mileage from one of those vs barely loud enough horrible clean and janky distortion on the cheap ones they bundle. A boss katana 50w will serve you well as a practice amp no matter how advanced you become. I’ve been playing for 30 years and I would still use one of those if I needed to practice with volume in the room. But mostly I just plug into an amp sim or run a modeler with headphones. Get something with an aux in and headphone out for sure because nobody wants to hear someone practice the same riff 200 times in a row, and it’ll help you hear the mix of the song you’re playing along to. Also, you’ll want something that you can plug a foot switch into so you can go from clean to distorted sounds when you’re playing songs. All the amps I listed have foot switches available and have the ability to be plugged into a computer to edit and save patches. They have communities with people who share free patches based on popular songs and tones that you can load in. Try to find one that is for sale with a foot switch because those can cost upwards of 200 dollars. Alternatively you could look at a line 6 pod GO for around 300 and that would do everything you need with headphones. If you wanted volume in the room later on you could plug it into a katana or catalyst.
>>128265498Wait should I buy that ce24 in puke trampas green instead of the inspired by Les Paul now? I didn’t know PRS were going under.
>>128268216You should rethink spending $1200 on an epiphone when sweetwater has standards for under $2k, yes.
>>128265051The reason they have that reputation is because:Graphite reinforced unfinished maple neck (no sticky poly bs you find on imports)USA pickups and electronics Floyd rose 1000 or better Gotoh tuners Other than the poly finish on the guitars, which you can also get in a matte or natural if you’re that opposed to the feel of, there’s not much else a USA model can improve upon aside from a German Floyd rose (which supposedly uses the same exact manufacturing methods and metals except it’s made in Germany vs South Korea.) They all have the same logo, same headstock, same woods, same pickups, etc. In many ways, the pro mod plus charvels have better specs than the USA models and cost 500 dollars less.
>>128268265Ok but a standard isn’t going to have a 500 dollar set of custombuckers in it. There’s a white standard near me on marketplace he’s asking 1600 for that has JB/59’s and also comes with the original pickups.
>>128268292The cool thing about this one is I could have my luthier swap the original pickups in for 50 bucks and then save the JB/59 for when I get my next charvel. But, at 1600 it’s probably going to sell before I can save the extra 400 dollars I need.
>>128268338>But, at 1600 it’s probably going to sell before I can save the extra 400 dollars I need.Offer him $1200 and see what happens. I was looking at a V220 recently that was listed for 1600, that I never haggled with the seller on He eventually ended up dropping the price to 1k and it sold immediately. You never know, the seller might need the money more than he needs to get the most value out of his guitar. It was fucking beautiful, flame maple body w/ natural finish. I've lost sleep over that guitar.
>>128268511I offered him 1200 plus a new M&P 9 2.0 I was saving for my owb kit but I don’t really need. Will see what he says.
>>128268511The ad does say firm on price and it’s a fair price so I don’t expect him to budge on it. But then again white is one of the least desirable lp colors and people don’t want aftermarket pups.
>>128268530>>128268552It's a more than fair price for sure. The 2.0's are fantastic so maybe he'll bite. With recent glock news I've considered picking one up instead of another g47, maybe he feels the same. I do really want another 47 though. Shit this makes me want to message that guy with the black lp studio near me. The lp bug is real.
>>128268586Yeah I almost bought a 47 COA but I kept hearing about issues with the COA. This is my first M&P. Problem is it’s really hard to find holsters that fit and the one I have for IWB is too uncomfortable to carry. The optic height sights dig into my pelvis. If I trade it I’ll probably just buy a 47 COA. If I end up getting this LP I’ll probably put a black pick guard and black lp custom knobs on it.
>>128268637Honestly that's one reason I came back to glocks. There are parts and accessories available everywhere and I'm a good enough shooter to be fine with a stock one, but not good enough to be so picky about tiny details that would make me want to shave .05s off of my split times and push me towards a different platform. Black guards on white pauls do look rad, though I'm a fan of no guard at all personally. If you DO end up with the white standard, I'll snatch the black studio for the contrast.
>>128268683Yeah for sure. I love Glocks and shoot them really well. I just got such a killer deal on the M&P (450 otd at fleet farm.) but finding holsters for this model which is kind of a 2.5 and has extended slide stops and safety lever is annoying. So if j can get rid of it for what I paid and get back into a Glock I think it’ll be better.
bench pressing my combo amp
>>128268683I like the way studios look and sound btw but they’re too thin for my liking. I played a few of them and they didn’t feel right.
>>128263847I don’t think I have ever encountered that shape in an actual song though. Typically they move the note from the high e string to the low e string for that chord. It sucks that all these chord books and things teach you chords that are theoretically correct but not the ones that actually get used.
>>128268823I had completely forgotten about that actually. Maybe I'll just stick with explorers when the time comes to get another gibson.
This guy just dropped his price on a mint McCarty 594 se. It’s tempting
>>128268852If I decide to buy this for a placeholder and backup guitar I could buy a helix floor used with the rest of the mind and at least be able to rehearse. I’m sure it’s at least decent enough to get me by. Maybe I should do that.

Yeah the store manager of that guitar center is sending out it multiple emails to the head guys because this dude not only ordered the wrong guitar but then canceled the order without asking me told me it was my fault cause I rushed him and asked and then canceled the order instead of asking if I wanted to keep it as store credit. Then he transferred me to a store when I asked for a supervisor. I’m hoping they pull some kind of miracle deal and get me into an LP standard for all the BS I’ve had to deal with. It wasn’t even close to the same guitar I wanted either. It had a trem on it and was a different color.
>>128269705Kek I’m mobile posting I promise I’m not retarded. Didn’t delete the entire sentence I reworded.
>>128269663Mine blew me off for a while when I asked about a specific guitar I wanted in a specific color. In the interim I ended up spending quite a bit on a different guitar and a used amp elsewhere. He is back to calling me but I have him marked as spam now. Should have taken my original inquiry seriously.
>>128269750The problem is they work on commission and don’t seem to understand that some people don’t immediately pull the trigger on gear. So they get butthurt about it and lose the eventual sale by being unresponsive or having a bad attitude. A 2 minute phone call might “waste” their time today but it could end up being a 5000 dollar sale a month or two later and a customer for life. Guitar center lost me as a customer with all their recent bullshit. Sweetwater at least posts actual photos and weights of the specific guitar you’re buying and makes a blind internet order much less risky. With GC it’s a complete gamble on what the finish / weight will be.
>>128269818I literally just got off the phone with my Sweet ™ Water Guy ™. he’s processing my return, got rid of restocking and shipping fees, knocking a new vintage II p bass down to open box price and getting me the plek pro set up at half price. a lot better than I ever would have got at GC but I’ve spent a lot of money at sweetwater over the years and never returned or refunded anything.
>>128269705a few years back i had something similar happen to me bought a guitar used from their website, got a completely different guitar, went to return it at my local GC and it was a nightmare i still go there sometimes to pick through the used crap but im Sweetwater all the way now im sorry it happened to you too>>128269857a-greed Sweetwater is way better for just about anything

Been isolating intermittent signals, trying to detect any pattern. Will cross reference it with random static. Been time stretching the resulting recordings and analyzing the digital artifacts for encoded synchronicities. No results so far. Tinnitus seems to have disappeared over the last couple weeks. Could be placebo or other unconnected variables.... Skin also isn't breaking out in hives. I think they modulated the phase on the microwave beam nodes. But it's hard to be sure. All I know is I don't hear as much hiss through my rat pedal when I have the reflexive phase cancelator engaged. It seems if I have it cycle through the wavelength chart every second there is enough cancelation even if they are manually altering the target frequencies... Hoping for some low radio activity when I'm recording some electric guitar after dark tonight.

>hate country music>as I get older I get more and more into the great country guitarists like Waylon Jennings, James Burton, Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Jerry Reed, guys like that>Brad Paisley as a modern example >don’t like the actual music or the vocals too much, but just love their playing and licks and solos>it’s almost like enduring the entire song just to pick out little chunks of killer guitar licks
>>128270049Another carrier of light engulfed by Tartarus... Godspeed Larry from Jersey. Will play my genuine Gibson in your honor.
>>128269892Well, it sucks cause now I have to wait another 3-5 days for my money plus another 3-5 days for it to ship. The guy said he will try to find me something in my budget and ship it to the gc in my state so I can pick it up right when the funds are released. Hopefully I made a big enough stink about it that they hook me up big time. I told him I want a 60s LP standard in either ebony or tobacco burst. If they can hook one of those up for 12-1500 I’ll be happy. I don’t really want one that is pre 2020 or with probuckers though, I know those were bad years for gibson.

>shreds with 21 frets and a hard tail in your path
>>128270088a little bit of 2 part epoxy. shape and sand
>>128270541Randy mostly used hard tails as well. Same with zakk. You can do a lot of cool stuff with a hard tail if you explore alternative techniques. Bending the neck is a good one but also pre bends. If you do it right you can make it sound nearly identical.
>>128270541>>128270663ive come to find that trems are mostly crutches basically the only thing a trem can do that you cant do on a hardtail is meme shit like squealies/divebombs, and reverse bends (where you bend up on the fretboard and then use the trem to bend back to regular pitch, and then stop bending on the string and then bring the trem back to normal - a vai thing)
>>128270495Yeah glass half full. I got my tuner from GC since I had left over money from my gift card. Still have about 140 left to spend from that
>>128270710They’re mostly good for ultra smooth gilmour or Jeff beck style vibrato and evh staccato quick 1-2 step dives where you’re punching in and out real fast. Divebombs etc are probably the only thing you can’t do without one. Even when I have one I rarely use it and when I do it’s mostly for smooth vibrato while I’m soloing.
Just a reminder that the Soul Food is the same circuit as the Klon Centaur, but with 120% give to each knob. It's cheap, too.
>>128270721you should get a shitton of strings with the rest of it so you don’t have to worry about them for a long time>>128270743right? i realized i dont need one when one time i was playing at a house party and a normgroid asked if the metal doohickey sticking off my guitar was just for show
>>128270088Go on Aliexpress and buy a replacement strap for like $2-5. Wait a month for shipping. They also sell plastic bits whatever that thing is called...But look for guitar strap pieces or belt pieces. Just match your measurements. Honestly, it's easier to buy a cheapass replacement from them and sub in the parts to fix your old one. Then you have a backup for future.Or you could do a bent metal coat-hanger that you spot weld and then cover in liquid vinyl.
What’s the best Les Paul strap? I have the little rubber fender strap lock discs. Just wondering what straps distribute the weight the best and are most comfortable. I’ve got a wide leather one that came with my custom shop epiphone and it’s alright. Maybe one that is more narrow and has padding.
>>128270757I dont change my strings enough to do something like that. I'm going to save it for a 2nd bass during the holiday season. I'm going to a festival next year that has a space for musicians to jam, so I think I'll want a travel bass. My pedalboard is pretty much completed now so I dont need anything else there.
>>128270887ive always liked those little leather acoustical straps much more comfy than nylon ones and they dont chafe >>128270928Bassed what festival? it’s not that gay reddit one in michigan is it
>>128270972Magfest its in maryland. My drummer friend told me about it and invited me. Not sure how well I'll do but I'm hoping I'll find people I can meet with on a regular basis.
>>128270757>The rod-and-ring symbol is a symbol that is depicted on Mesopotamian stelas, cylinder seals, and reliefs. It is held by a god or goddess and in most cases is being offered to a king who is standing, often making a sacrifice, or otherwise showing respect. The symbol dates from the Third Dynasty of Ur to the Neo-Assyrian period, and is commonly explained as a coil of measuring string and a yardstick. Other theories are that they are a shepherd's crook and a nose rope,or that the ring is no rope at all. The best known example of the symbol is seen on the Code of Hammurabi stela.
>>128270887I found a reddit post where they recommend https://a.co/d/4QiHgh7 maybe I’ll try it
>>128271018that looks like alot of fun desu a shame they let little kids in and dont serve booze>>128271039>the rod and the ring will strike
Just got back from brunch with the girlfriends. Had a pumpkin spice latte and some stuffed grape leaves. Now off to the museum for inspiration. Got a studio gig tonight. Drumming for some Doom-Grass band. Moon phase is first quarter moving into a waxing gibbous, no wonder they wanted to record tonight...

>>128270663>use a strat>do squeelie bends by pressing the string behind the nut
>>128270887You want a wide strap with a les paul to distribute the weight. 3 to 3.5 inches wide.
best guitar for a guy that’s been pretty gassy all day?
>>128271553Wait in line. I'm still waiting for the answer about my massive bitch tits getting in the way. Apparently the mustang doesn't have a contoured back. Might have to settle for lap steel.
>>128271553
>>128271612>>128271553
>>128271636Thanks I'm looking if up on reverb rn
>>128271628damn that looks how I feel rn (right now)
>>128271612I've got some lap steel for you right here big guy. The bitch tits won't be a problem, that I can tell you ;). Gibson owner btw.
I want to get my first guitar, the problem is that I can't decide if I should go for a HSS or SSS strat. I'm not sure which genre I want to play most yet and experiment with different ones, though I know I want to play surf rock and death/black metal at the very least, so I don't know if I then should get a SSS or HSS. One is apparently better for one of them, while the other better for the other, which would I then be happier with?
>>128271975there are only 3 electric guitar tones in all of music: neck pickup with tone rolled completely off, position 4 on a strat, and a bridge humbucker with some breakup. anything else is gay and a waste of time, money, and sonic space
>>128271975Try to get a HSS with coil split.
>>128271975If you are gonna play any heavy music you should get an HSS. If you want to pay the extra money for an American fender there is a push button on knobs that switch the bridge from humbucker to single coil. Believe it's on the pro models and up
>>128271149I'm really pumped. I saw some clips of the jams they have sheet music no tabs so I've gotta do some reading practice.
>>128272027Gibson neck with the tone off is great.. but a Strat or Tele neck with tone up is equally great. I mean, that IS the most famous Fender sound.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYxfOxjswxc
>>128272237Mitch Mitchell is one of my absolute favorite drummers and any chance I get to listen to a Hendrix song that’s from when he was playing with them is an absolute treat
>>128272266>Mitch Mitchell is one of my absolute favorite drummersmore like bitch bitchell. overplaying cracker bitch imo
>>128272349but enough about that Uncle Tom hendrix

>>128271612Jaguars have a 24" scale like a Mustang, and they have arm and belly cuts.
>>128272432On second thought he's everywhere.
>>128272266he sounds like ass live. completely washes out the rest of the band
I only like Les Pauls and TelecastersNow I am become boomer
>>128272452Jags and Stangs also had 22 frets before that was normal across all Fenders. But I think they're a little smol side.
>>128264896Retard. PRS does not hold value at all The market is flooded with PRS guitars for cheap that no one wants
>>128264881If you buy used and sell it to another person, not a pawn shop, you can sell the used instrument for what you paid.I bought a $300 squier Jaguar and sold it for $450 a month later. Its body had been made of three pieces of wood, and they expanded at the seems, so you felt ridges in the back.
>>128272546ngl ive been tempted, you can get a used 10 top cheaper than some les paul studios go for new
>>128272546>Retardlol what even warrants getting mad about that.You act like I want PRSes to be pricey. I don't like them. That's why I said "for some reason". I don't know what the price drops are for each given model, but they don't seem to be cheap when used. Just the SE/S2 ones are cheap.
quality stickers edition next pls
>>128272641guitar i just ordered has those luminlay things on them. not that i ever cared.
>>128271515I thought that, and I got a Gibson Dove strap for my Les Paul Studio Tribute, but it felt better with a 2" strap that I could tighten and have the guitar up higher. I think a Les Paul works best when you pretend it's a Telecaster.
>>128272518Based
One HSS trem and one HS hardtail covers my bases. Not sure if I should build on that with another hardtail or another trem, I like Tele's and JMs but it's hard to decide between all the models and finishes.
>>128272518>Now I am become boomerThe Bender of Strings
a P bass just does it all
>>128272623I insult everyone on 4chan just to keep the newfags away and keep the old 4chan alive a little longer
>>128272830hell yeah
The cheapest McCarty (only PRS I kinda like) on Reverb is still $1800. It took me to page 17 to finally get past all the SEs and S2s and find a proper PRS. That's still relatively pricey though. I'm sure you could get a nice Les Paul Standard for less.
I'm having an great time learning some Stan Rogers and assorted Irish music. This whole guitar thing really is fun.
>>128272853absolutely based
>>128272830Fair enough. You are right though about them clogging up the used market. It's just a shitload of S2s though.
I have never played a PRS that has inspired me. They all just feel and look so sterile and soulless. They’re not bad, they’re just boring and plain. They’re like the guitar that people choose because they think it’ll make them look cooler or will impress people.
>>128272922The only player I like who plays them is Dave Navarro. But I can see why he went there. He used to play 24 fret Ibanez. I guess he wanted something classier and not as shreddy, but still 24 frets.
>>128272922they’re called Plagiarize Recycle Steal for a reason>Sucker Edition>Chinese Export>Mcsharty>Super Shit (S2)>Private Retards
>>128272922The Vela is the closest thing to a guitar I’d be interested in by PRS
Lol guitar center told me to go fuck myself. Not only did they not offer a discount for my trouble but they didn’t offer me a way to get a guitar shipped in before the credit comes back to my account. I’m done with them.
Oh, this dude works at Anderton's now.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PCr5xeFTYQ
>>128273132Same, they started calling me like sweetwater. Looks like im going elsewhere for my gear needs :^)
>>128272825except for the J bass sound, but yeah P is probably more versatile
>>128273250>>128273250>>128273250
>>128273132Shouldn’t have rushed the sales guy then.
