>Sharing opinions on Novo and Fano>Two brands nobody on /gg/ can afford>But they have opinions to shareNobody here owns Novo or Fano, you just like to shit on Rhett.
>>128345879Don't have to own one to know they're not worth it
If you don't own a Fano, don't even post ITT
>>128345879I'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.
>>128345879That’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.
>>128345879luv me fano ngl frfr no cap
The only fano anon got his used, says alot
>>128345951>racing stripes Gay
>>128345955Yeah it was around the same cost as a flagship Fender Pro II, no way I’m paying $3500+ for one new
>>128345951That's just the Am special, scale lengths are different but be honest you can't tell just to look at it.
>>128345944Head or combo? How much? SLO is a bucket list amp for me as well.
smexiest chord?
>>128345982Honestly 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>>128345989Just 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
>buying another guys sloppy seconds gear
>>128346044>paying new prices for a guitar made by Mexicans aka every guitar in the world that isn’t made in Asia
>>128345989i was wondering why this picture looked weird, but i fixed it
>>128346057Mexicans make the best guitars in the world then?
>>128346078Si 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.
>>128346119Especially 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
>>128346155Not better than a stopbar desu
>>128346155word up to your mother
>>128346187Actually let me correct myself, this one is on par or better than a stopbar, the vintage one they insist on using more is not
>>128346057woah 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?
>>128346144Until 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.
>mogs every bridge you own
>>128346240>misinformationEvery 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.
>>128346264whatever guitar that came off of I can tell the G and B strings weren’t properly intonated because you ran out of adjustment
>>128345879
>>128346276That'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
>>128346276More than likely the owner had no idea what he was doing. Picrel gives tons of adjustment
>>128346290>>128346300So 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…
>>128345862Is 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.
>>128345951I normally don’t like the look of most boutique guitars but that one doesn’t look half bad.
>>128346318If you were retarded you could just say so you know?
>>128345951>t.https://youtube.com/shorts/Tzpm9ENn0-8?si=IndooUddan7xEpyc
>>128346329Sorry bud your bridge is shit
>>128346291Same woods and same wood quality Fit and finish quality varies on bothFretwork quality varies on bothSame tunersSame potsCase is not part of the guitar, come on now that's not honest.
>>128346176Hipshot makes a nice one.
>>128346334holy delusion
>>128346318Oh so you're just dumb, got it lol
>>128346212Don't weighty and large surface bridge blocks reduce sustain though since the added metal weight dissipates it faster?
>>128346351Not an argument. The specs are widely available so it's not just something I made up, it's proven.
>>128346371>t. https://youtube.com/shorts/igg9mclRt18?si=ZYG2gz4fojziMyWV
>>128346073
>>128346362I’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
>>128346371I’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.
>>128346328It looks alright but it just feels great >>128346332Why are you showing me this homo
>>128346399He needs to open his eyes https://youtube.com/shorts/4qgOfkTNMDo?si=6YpN-A3SDEcIArVg
>>128346404That’s you!https://youtube.com/shorts/NIRJ6l3S6BE?si=BhbhJLMMjvd_aHfOThis is you with beaner anon on the tele
Me when the fentanyl hits 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
>>128346399You 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.>>128346393If this was true fender US wouldn't be taking a hit from the you know what, might wanna rethink your brand loyalty.
>>128346392It was pulled from google moron, it's not "my bridge". Try to keep up instead of proving our point
>>128346421It’s literally just one self loathing beaner coping and seething over Mexican fenders.
>>128346413No those dudes are too gay, I am a Talking Heads wannabe https://youtu.be/ZPFIUGzG_Ak
>>128346431>he didn’t know it was a piece of shit before posting it oh no…
>>128346445>he thinks an end user not knowing what they're doing makes a bridge badpeak logic
>>128346438But mexicans make the mias too, I win either way. I'm just pointing out that you can save your money unless you wanna go custom shop or mij.
>>128346425>COVID bubble bursts >redditors blame orange man
>>128346449>someone who doesn’t know how to use a bridge claiming they can tell what makes a bridge good real logic
>>128346457Except 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 bridgelmao 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.
>>128346552ergonomically designedintonates welldoesn’t cause tuning instability sits firmly and securely on the poststhat ugly bridge that got posted earlier fails two of those. the tuneomatic fails 3 of those
>>128346488Fender 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.
>>128346421I'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.
>>128346612Also, 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.
>>128346660Blah.. There's nothing wrong*
>>128346593Martin 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.
>poly BAD!
>>128346694As 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.
>>128346722Bro 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
>>128346694Martin 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.>>128346696For 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.
>>128346750I just jumped into the thread and offered my 2c. I didn't say anything about tariffs.
>>128346750He’s an ESL beaner who is butthurt that Mexicans make worse quality instruments.
>>128346788ok but you smell bad
>>128346775The problem is that poly finished necks suck to play. I guess if you sanded the back of the neck down it’d be fine.
>>128346796Maybe 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.
>>128346796takes 2 to tango, stinky.
>>128346827i use mitchum and cologne, any of the scented stuff just mixes with my odor
>>128346804Fair 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.
>>128346872And 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.
>>128346837I haven't used cologne in years.It's fate. I'm transforming into a Eurofag. Will play Spanish guitar and wear shitloads of cologne.
>>128346731walnut 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
>>128346944They 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
>>128346967Oh wait, the back does have a Walnut part too.
>>128346962pau 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
>>128347012the 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>uglywrong
>>128347041It 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.
>>128347032same. 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
>>128346967They 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.
>>128347105I'd buy a Studio Hummingbird in a heartbeat if they were all-acoustic.
>>128347161I 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
>>128347161Wait, Taylor. Not PRS. But I remember some vid of Paul kind of joking about Gibson's supply issues and how he had better hookups.
>>128347214Yeah, 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
>>128347255Or 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.
>>128347281good 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
>>128347281If 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?
>>128345879by that logic you can't hate nazis unless you're a nazi yourself
>>128347327Gibsons 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?
>>128347396meant for >>128347331
>>128347331paraffin also pafs weren’t potted >>128347396beeswax 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 buzzinghey, come on guys. it's too much.
>>128347442I 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
>>128347452
>>128347281Congrats 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 onI’ll give hispanics some credit: they aren’t as sexually inclined as indians
>>128347557White 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.
>>128347380Why would I hate Nazis though, especially if I am one?
>>128347618
huh, what's that? can't hear you over the sound of me rocking out on a affinity jaguar.
>>128347740Rock on, man. Don't be a fussy faggot. That's so not rock.
>>128347740Chicks guitar
>>128347327I 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
>>128348019no shit
>>128348019Ugly, looks like a fat chick(male) with a bent crooked feminine penis
>>128348019the hot wheels letterhead was a great touch
>someone complains about my playing>tell them I’m classically trained as an avant garde musician>they feel bad and stop talking
>>128348019These are just so ugly. I’m with the anon from last thread who said Fano>Novo.
roland jc-22(with attenuator) or roland jc-40(with attenuator)?
Which song do you hate to play the most?
>>128345862Why expose the electrics, but leave the wires looking like shit?
>>128348269some people just don't like wiping their ass, that's how they roll, don't need to be rude
>>128348224as 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>attenuatorwhy?
>>128348327I'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
>>128348361nta 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
>>128348361Yeah 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.
>>128347041It's a lot better than bASSwood
>>128348501>chambered basswood body with ash veneer >quartersawn maple neck with no truss rod and 3 carbon fiber beams >5-6 pound bass/guitar yeah I’m thinking I’ll be a millionaire
any of you guys like guitar?
>>128348910no 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
