Pau Ferro is a perfectly cromulent fingerboard material editionResourcesHumanPrevious>>128515667
>>128523660>Pau FerroLooks horrible. Just like Indian laurel. I don't understand why they don't colour it dark as they often do with ebony.

>>128523677>I don't understand why they don't colour it dark as they often do with ebony.Doesn't that stuff eventually come off?The best way Pau Ferro can look good (besides being a prime uniform piece) is a spotty body too. It looks more ugly the more solid your body color is.
>>128523660Wasn't too long ago Pau Ferro was a premium option, how the turn tables.
>>128523700Dye soaks into the wood instead of staying on the surface like paint, it doesn't really come off
Now that the dust has settled who played Canon Rock better JerryC or Funtwo?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by8oyJztzwohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF6cnLnEARo
>>128523758Funtwo hits the notes cleaner but JerryC has much more soul. For me its JerryC by a large margin.
YAAAYY
>>128523698Utterly plebeian guitar + amp combo
Your gear doesn't matter. It's all in the hands.
Chrome hardware and generic dot inlays make even a 5k guitar look cheap and plastic
>>128523932Your hands don’t matter, it’s all in the pick
>>128523984your pick doesnt matter, its all in the balls.
>>128524019Balls don’t matter, it’s all in the inverted penis vagina (with hair clumps)
>>128523677I often thought about buying pau ferro while waiting to be checked out at Michael's and Fry's Electronics (RIP) but the packaging always looked dusty so it was easy to believe the stuff had been there for months
>>128523969Clay like picrel or pearloid (brighter) is the right kind of white, without being overtly plastic white. Pearl looks mostly white, but reflects light differently at different angles.
can't play metal anymore dude to the arthritis
>>128524096>arthritisYou're giving away your age bro.
>>128524096George Lynch is 75 and sill shredding
>>128524156I watched some little interview with him at his pad. He lives out in the desert and just cranks his amps all day with no neighbors. Haven't looked into what he's actually recording though.
>>128524217>He lives out in the desert and just cranks his amps all day with no neighbors.you aint experienced true freedom until you can do this at 4 am
>>128524096Bad technique
>>12852424010+ years ago my grandparents went on vacation for three months and I house sat for them in the middle of the woods and it was awesome just absolutely cranking it with zero neighbors to worry about. I had to take all the pictures off the walls and all the fancy grandma tier breakable glassware out of the cabinets. Their living room had a drum set right in the center with all the furniture pushed off against the walls and amps and gear from myself and two other people and we’d just rip all night. It was great, three months of just jamming heaven. They came home and everything was back to normal and a few years later I showed them pictures of their living room at the time with all of our gear and they weren’t too happy lmao
>>128524272lmao, thats awesome anon
>>128523451Would you kindly tab it out? Wanna try it. Thanks
1K worth of speakers 1200 dollars worth of wood screws tolex grill cloth and hardware and wire.Makes sense to me.
How can I slide up on multiple strings without hitting the open strings that are playing? Having trouble with that
Anyone got a good recommendation/ resources for learning Guitar after a long hiatus of playing? I remember having a mega link to loads of stuff but lost it. Who would you say is the best for learning rock/metal?Also what’s some good recording software that has amp sims and pedals? Seems to be loads of them cutting about now compared to when I was trying to start playing.
>>128524579>Anyone got a good recommendation/ resources for learning Guitar after a long hiatus of playing?Scotty West on youtube "absolutely understand guitar"
>>128524463Brits need their pub money while their society falls. Help a bro out.
>>128524463It's a racket. Make your own if you like.
what THE FUCK is up with used prices these daysthis shit has been going on for like 10 years now were people think asking 95% of new MRSP for something used is how you price thingsand these things NEVER sell, people just relist them over and over and over and never sell themits fucking insaneI'm looking for shitty solid state trash from the 70s and 80s for a project10 years ago, you could not GIVE away some 300w Peavey bass ampnow I look on craigslist and these absolute fucking retards want 600 dollars for some ugly ass Peavey bass or PA headthe absolute bottom of the barrel shit has insane prices even though no one has any money and the economy has been completely fucked for like 20 years now, and people don't even play guitar as much as they used to i see this in everything these days, not just music instruments, but music instruments seem to be the worst
>>12852466220 dollars in 70's money is 200 dollars today, anon
>>128524662>reading item description>"An item like this won't last long!">listed 2 years ago
>>128524635the wood is going to cost about 200 bucksthe tolex is going to cost about 200 bucksthe hardware is going to cost about 200 bucksthe speakers will cost you 800that's if you know how to wood work and upholstery people have no clue how fucked the economy is, Orange isn't making a huge profit off anythingno one is
>>128524662If nothing else makes sense, then "boomers".
I consider myself racist, I say nigger a lot too but honestly some of the black guys ITT are alright.
Is there a bigger cringe than factory relic'd guitars
>>128524821I like some small builder relickingbig brands dont do it well
>>128524096Hell yeah, real niggas play that Boogie
>>128524692Your estimates are way off the charts.They likely buy everything from China and pay a fraction of your prices.
Thinking of getting the Ltd ec-1000, anyone got one? Is it worth it? Hopefully Black Friday is good this year as it sucked last year.
>>128524963Black friday is shit every year for gear. It's the same sales that go on throughout the year.
>>128524723the scalpers are millenials, boomers rent out their spare houses. they don't need to scalp stuff
>>128524963best I can offer is 5% an open box return
>>128524981Boomers invented scalping
>>128523660Edward was the coolest looking guitarist ever
>>128524942I'm just saying to build that cab as an individual, if anything I priced it too low (I've built 7 cabs).Yes economy of scale works in large production, but it's not like they are buying Celestion G12s for 50 bucks. I'm guessing they pay more like 80 per (i'tll cost you 180+shipping, tax)Wood is typically about 30% when bought in bulk, wood, especially stuff like decent quality birch ply is extremely expensive these days. Hardware is extremely expensive.
>>128525049*30% less in bulk of huge quantity vs low amounts
>>128524973It sucks, the only decent thing I’ve seen was the Epiphone Les Paul custom going for £550 but it’s white. Ebony is still the same price it always was which just puts me off wanting to buy it.
>>128525013ah yes...(((boomers)) (((Fred Rosen))) who bought ticketmaster in the early 80s and turned into the predatory pile of shit it is today, then bought by (((Paul Allen))) of Microshit who turned it into an even bigger pile of shit
I've spent the last three hours cooking and gooning instead of playing guitarI'm ngmi
>>128524692Speakers and hardware are about half of that price. They're buying wholesale all of these things, but labor and especially logistics are going to eat into the profit. Shipping anything bigger than a guitar or head is a kick in the nuts. Maybe freight opens some options for these companies, idk.
Music Nomad and Stew Mac don't make a 9, 11, or 16 gauge nut file, am I supposed to slot my Strat for 10s on the unwound strings?
>>128525049I dislike when companies move to mdf or particle. Mdf has to be extra thick because it's crushed up newspapers and it's already deadening and heavy. Water will f your shit up if it ever gets to it. 1/2" ply is strong, light, reactive. You can probably get away with BCX ply if you're tolexing, since your sanded birch will be 2-3x cost.
Any PRS niggas in here?
>>128524463I've been wanting an Orange cab myself, a 2x12 surely. Only question is open or closed back.
>>128525551they're real ngls. got that tonewood
I want a Yamaha Pacifica but I don't know if I want to go 611 or 612
>>128525551Yeah I have an S2 Standard (older model without burdz) and I love it. I'm eyeing the S2 Vela lately, might be cool as a kind of mutant offset tele.
>>128524821Yes there is, custom shop relict signature models
>no vintage road worn beatongmi cringe
>>128524963Ltd sucks
This guitar is 8k wtf
>>128525750I wouldn't pay more than 1500I think its funny they call out that it has Hetfield pickups like sounding like Metallica is a good thing.
>>128525901They used to sound good. Not sure what happened
>>128525551I got a SE. it's very kind to my tiny man-fingers
>>128525934You should try a Luke
>>128525928They didn't retire.They didn't kick Lars out.Kirk never learner anything more than a couples of blues scales and uses too much wah.
>work for 2 hours then friend wants to watch movie>really want to fuck with my pedals moreA break from tinkering is pretty much needed but I also cant stop thinking about how much I want to keep tinkering with shit
Any Andy Wood fans here? He’s such a cool guy
>>128526070Tinker with his cock
How good is kingfish actually?
>>128526234He's great at playing music that sucks
>>128524662I haven't seen any decline in the used market. It's just growing imo. The used section has gotten a lot bigger at Guitar Walmart too.
>>128526234Put it this way, would he still be famous if he was a skinny white boy? Kingfish gives white boomers a feeling of nostalgia for when grotesque "fat black singing niggers" knew their place and would just shut up and play their guitars. . None of this civil rights DEI bullshit we have now. BB King knew his place, never complained a day in his life. Kingfish gives us a little bit of that back.
>>128525750ESP’s have always been expensive due to being made in Japan by one guy start to finish. 8k for an eclipse is kinda disgusting though.
If you’re gonna spend that much for a guitar, get a Tyler
>>128526409let me guess, you need more?
I love pop music like the black album
>>128526409genuine contender for ugliest guitars ever made
NOOOOOOdammit Johan yamaha amps are already hard enough to get without you making their prices go up
>>128524963get a EC256 and swap the pickups.
A classical I got. Now on to learning how to make it sound great. I'm not a classical player. I just had to get it.And to think this is a Ramirez "student" model. Their actual flagships are like $20k or something.
>>128526595That's a shitty pic. lol. I'll try a jpeg. It's a nice wood all around.
>>128526595Alright, let us know when you've got one of the real ones then
>>128526629Never. I'll permanently stay in "student" mode. But it was the same price as a D-18. That's the level of poorfags we all are.
Save up for a gibson and use it in every genre for the rest of the life
>>128526595nice guitar. sensible nylon strings, steel strings are a bitch on an acoustic
>>128525750I think anything with the actual ESP logo on it is crazy-expensive. I think one step down is the EII's, effectively being their highest grade mass-produced lines.
>>128526692I don't like the scale.Classicals 25.5Martins 25.5Fender 25.5
>>128526692gibson necks are too fat, they are too heavy and expensive.ESP/LTD are better in every way
>>128526626Guitarra del tiempo, very nice. Love that rossette
>>128526749Damn you know your rosettes. I didn't even say the model.
>>128526733astrology for faggots with more money than sense
>>128526715That weight is why their sustain is unmatched.
These callouses are coming in very slow. Still I fondle my grote
>>128526765Tonewoods completely matter with acoustics..that chart is talking about tops, backs, and sides. It doesn't matter at all with electrics. Or at the very least, not much.
Tops matter way more than the sides or back. That's why a flame maple top is so sought after.
>>128526767oh, you're retarded. weight has nothing to do with sustain.
>>128526780Tonewood is a tiny little blip compared to body size and bracing
>>128526595Learned to play on a classical guitar but lost all my knowledge when i switched to electric. Didn't helped i haven't played guitar for years in general. Tried to pick up my mother's old classical guitar but it's a very cheap one and dosn't even stay in tune. The mechanics also make noises as if they're gonna rip apart if you try to tune it. The wide fretboard and high string tension are also a pain in the ass.
For me, it’s Jack Ruch
>>128526803There's still a difference between a rosewood backed OM model and a Dreadnought. The OM doesn't really shimmer the same way. Like the rosewood is more controllable and has less overtones. It really shines the bigger the guitar. But a hog dreadnought is not anything like it either.
>>128526810ersatz
>>128526786Nothing beats spruce.
Almost nobody plays SGs and those who do always have some variant of "I like it but it's pretty flawed". Who is buying them year in year out?
Are any of you prolific alternate pickers?
>>128526809I learned on electric, but dabbled a little with a cheapo like 10 years ago (a Takamine), but it fell apart. Never got around to replacing it until now. I'm determined to get better. I just find myself always going to fingerstyle a lot (even on an electric) and it's nicer to play lead and melody lines on nylon rather than steel.
>>128526819Anyone who wants a Gibson, but won't shell out. You're still kind of getting the gist of the Gibson sound with them. Just not as fancy.
>>128526780>>128526814Too bad Stradivarius couldn't afford anything but maple, or his violins would have sounded really good.
>>128526879Wouldnt you rather get an LP Special? It has the shape and the sound instead of weird control placement and neck dive.
>>128526890I don't know anything about violins. It's different for guitars, but I thought that was still prized for violins. As well as the look for the whole flame thing.
>>128526776Youre gonna cut your finger on the cut off strings and get aids
>>128526919I'd rather get the DC LP Special with HBs, but those are harder to come by. Don't know why.
double cut Les Pauls sound like shit because the maple cap doesn't resonate properly with the neck
>>128526987I’ll remember that when I fondle the tag ends next time
What pickups should I get for my rg550 Genesis? Stock ones are weak
>>128527088Just turn the volume up then, doofus
>>128526551There are dozens of solid state brands. Get an Acoustic.
>>128527036Maybe you don't want a chunk plank or to commit to being a tele twink.
>>128527088super distortion and tone zone, stock middle
This is for 7 things
>>128527618I'm sorry
>>128527633It's okay I'm done shopping for a while
>>128527618What are you making with that?
>>128524096Great amp though. I'm wish I'd bought one when i had loads of money.
>>128527088Just slam the front end of your amp with an SD1, that wakes mine up. Otherwise anon's super distortion and tone zone are good recs. >>128527397Good job lil nigga
>>128527036>double cut Les Pauls sound like shitwrong
>>128527719It's just the cost of my peavey and the pedals I bought.
>>128526733Sitka spruce topMahogany back and sidesSimple as
>>128527800>shitka instead of chadirondack
if your acoustic has a cutaway to give access to higher frets I got a news flash, hot shot: it sounds like shit because it fucks up the soundwaves traveling from body to neck
>>128526803how does bracing impact tone?
>>128525461I havent seen MDF or particle board used outside of absolute dogshit amps of the late 60s and 70s.
I'm going to build the ugliest guitar possible.Any ideas what it should look like?
>>128527845moar brace less toan
>>128527882Good luck making something uglier than a PRS.
>>128527733This is my best sounding guitar.
>>128527808

>>128528002Did Gibson have to save money on inlays?
Here's some top tier copypasta for you guys. I guess it's just a list of things you should avoid if you actually want to improve your own playing.I got a buddy I been playing with weekly for two years now, and he still thinks masturbating over his guitar once or twice a week is going to get him somewhere, or that I'm going to do it for him. Decided to type out the things to get them off my mind and it got out of hand. If it's petty, it's been two years, whatever. If anyone needs fodder for making a meme, there's plenty.
>>128528062It's a weird model Gibson didn't make many of. No binding anywhere, mini traps, and the cheapest tuners you can imagine but i like it.
I don't know how to play past fret 15, it's like my guitar brain stops working when I go there
>my squier which was made in china has better fretwork than my player 2
>>128528374doubtful. squiers use worse fret wire than mims
>>128528078>picthis guy sounds like a chad
oh god the boomers playing blues nextdoor are practicing again
>>128528392I've had like 7 MIM and I've had 4 Squiers and they were all awesomeI don't get the MIM hate, I've had a couple MIJ that were way worse but people jizz over MIJ/CIJ Fenders
>>128528473The nicest MIM I had was a Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster, still mad I sold that.
>>128519182>still really boomy.>frankly I would not be using the muff and the darkglass together as much as you are, the darkglass alone should be more than able to get the gritty tone you liked.>Start by turning down the dry volume on your parallel mixer and gradually turn it up until the cleans aren't overwhelming the effects.https://vocaroo.com/1j1T3AmfZaQepic related is my settings today for this recording. In the recordings i posted yesterday there was 0 of the dry signal going through it was just muff and omicron. i tried to put the distortion higher in the EQ and the BM lower. i havent played at all with the boost on with the pre amp, so i gave that a try this time as well. i think you can tell when i turn on the omicron here but is it still boomy? the audio shape in ableton is much smaller than yesterday so i dont think it should boom.
>>128524463>$2kwhy?>see it's CDNah, so it's like 500 real world currencies
>>128528403yeah, just in general he's pretty miserable and most people are pretty miserable being around him, but that's just what it's like having friends in your 30's.Honestly, do let me know if there's anything in there that actually isn't that bad, that I can expect from a reasonable musician if I ever meet any. I assume most guitarists can smoke a cigarette while playing, they just keep the ciggie in the strings of the headstock in between puffs. This guy is just lazymaxing and thinks being a guitarist is part of that.
>>128524821I like the realistic relic look, where the guitar is scratched in the right places like some guitar that has been in use for decades like under the pickup or where the arm rest is or the back with belt buckle rash and shit.It's incredibly cringe to see guitars that have relic in the most retarded places where not even a 60 year old strat that has actually been in use would have any scuff marks.
I love DBA pedals and had like 8 of them including 2 super rare ones (flaming lips space ring and this weird fuzz tremolo thing) but I had to sell all of them when I saw how unbelievably faggy they are and donate money to shit like killing babies
>>128528521Add a quick compressor to your Abelton audiotrack
>>128525750This piece of shit is 9kAt least ESP are made out of thousand-fold wood by a single guy from the first to the last step and you get lifetime warranty he'll commit seppuku if you experience fret sprout.
>>128528565Use a finish that wears faster and play the instrument.

I think it's analog as well, which probably contributes. Is there anything similar made today with all the fancy pedals?
>>128529756Godspeed. Got some nice color schemes going there.
