Are rosewood necks worth it? What is their tone signature? I know a Beatle was well known for playing a rw tele.
>>129291513It's purely aesthetic, like virtually everything else on an electric guitar
>>129281271>Plek scientifically calculates the best height for each fret to give the lowest possible action and cuts the frets to within .0005” accuracyAbsolutely hilarious.Great comment on the Rhett Shull video>There is no possibility that PLEK tolerance is .001mm / .0004" and simply if no other reason, but there are other reasons, it does not have a heavy framework to eliminate distortion caused by machine vibration, and further, the guitar is mounted on a swinging door, on hinges no less. The standard tolerance for heavy rigid CNC is .001", and you are claiming that this light weight aluminum tubing frame that is not even welded, can do .0004" NO. Add to this the maintenance issues and user error. PLEK is a decent machine, and when perfectly maintained and operated it can deliver tolerances that approach .001" but everything would have to perfect for that to happen. The acid test is simple for anyone who wishes to argue... use a digital gauge to measure PLEKed frets left center and right of every fret... you will actually be shocked at how wide the tolerances are in 90% of the cases.
I hate the look of rosewood necks maple/ebony and that's it
>anecdotal evidencesocial media really has made everyone retarded hasn’t it
>>129291587No they were already retardedThey're just loud now
>>129291597fair point
>>129291587it can also make wiser
>>129291587Anecdotal evidence for what?If you're talking about the tolerances post, that's objective fact and only shows how retarded you are
think about it like this; the thread has moved towards bitching about headstocks and finishes to bitching about guitar set-up, that is progress
>>129291648oh it is? surely you can produce data that shows .001” as the STANDARD. no goalpost moving
>>129291534Which are the best neck woods? Maple? Mahog?
>>129291706Glass
>>129291715
>>129291749Inspiring
Plek is basically a 3-axis grinder. You don't have the runout and deflection you would get from using a machine like a mill, and I also don't know why you would measure the frets with a caliper considering 1) their accuracy is low and 2) the frets are not cut symmetrically by design. Anyway, gay argument both sides. We can all stop now.
>>129291539But it's still more precise than a human could do. I think that's the point.
>>129291781>comparing machines that weigh 3000-20,000 lbs made of cast iron to some shitty meme jank rig of cheap 2 inch extruded aluminum
>>129291995go shake a plek machine next time you see one. assuming they have one in brazil
>>129291502tele and ibanez look like feetgisdusting
>>129291785It's not. With a beam, you will level the frets to the tolerance of the beam. Cheap leveling beams will be less than 0.001" discrepant across the entire width. There is zero tolerance stack. With a plek machine, that tolerance is now going through a frame of extruded aluminum, I'd guess they are 6 feet tall and 3 feet wide, that's going to impart tons of tolerance stack alone, then you add in it having to support servos, the grinding head, the indicating head, the guitar... 0.0005mm is a completely insane claim. If you measured your frets, then put your finger on one for 10 seconds to impart some of the warmth from your finger, and then had the ability to measure that, the fret would change in dimension by more than 0.0005mm.
Ibanez Portamento (fretless) 6 string, Kiesel O2 fretless lined 6, where I beg to make it multiscale, or Dingwall Z (or Prima Artist) fretless 6?
>>129292048>.0005” =0.0005mmLMAO
having that level of precision to level frets anyways is fucking retarded. The frets are in a relatively skinny chunk of wood. I bet if you measured movement of a guitar neck over the course of a day you'd see more than 0.001" movement across the length of the neck. Pleks can only level and partially crown. Not saying they are worse than a normal fret job, but they aren't better. It's a labor saving device that isn't very good at saving labor, so it's been repurposed into some dumbass meme service to sell to suckers.t.machinist
I can’t stop laughing at how retarded this fucking eurofaggot is holy shit. lol. Imagine talking about precision machining and you don’t even know what “ means
>>129292103I don't think they'd be claiming 0.005" tolerance as something worth advertising if that's the case. That's monkey banging rocks and sticks tolerance. Your high E string is 0.010"....0.005" is dogshit.
Oh no no no
There’s the goalposts!!!! Touchdoooooown. Sorry, you’re European… Oleeeeee, Allah wills it.

>>129292123>It's a labor saving device that isn't very good at saving labor, so it's been repurposed into some dumbass meme service to sell to suckers.Yeah, I don't understand how they managed to sell these to guitar shops since there's no way they're ever going to make their money back on it. They shouldn't be customer facing at all, just in manufacturing. Not worth getting any new guitar ran through one. Rather put the money toward more guitar since it shouldn't come out fucked from the factory that it requires something like that. If it's used, the prices I've seen are about the same as a refret
>>129292401setup plus fret level crowning and repair is $250 minimum at guitar center which is typically lower price than a LGS. fly by night shops might be slightly cheaper. Don’t forget the extra $60 charge if you have a non standard fretboard or extra $80 if you have stainless frets. Plek pro at Sweetwater is $299.
>>129292539I checked my LGS, they’re $120+, strings not covered and extra for tremolo guitars. Their turnaround time is 2.5 months on average though. I bought my own tools years ago.

>>129292401They charge like 400-800 bucksShops that have them are in busy areas and they probably pay off the machine in 2-3 years. I think they are about $200k.
>>129292606Takes about 5-10 years to be decent. Most people start guitar as a teen or kid when they have infinite free time to practice that you don't as an adult

Sup /gg/, I'm a beginner and been playing through the sonicake pocket master for the last 6 months. I fucking hate all the digital options. I only ever use the reverb and distortion. I want a real amp now you guys got any recs? It must have reverb and distortion. I just want to plug my guitar directly to the amp without having to tinker too much. I'm looking at the marshall DSL1cr now but let me know if there's a better option.
>>129295404>>129295428ThanksI noticed there are moans at the end of the track. Are those real world samples of those infamous arthoes you've been thirsting for? kek
>>129295840Reverb on the DSL1 is weak, but the gain channel is excellent (as is the clean channel) and it has a footswitch. I’d still recommend it, great amp

Aside from a little tweak on the EQ on my fretted six-string bass, a new neck on the 4 string I defretted (not super enthused about the job I did, but I got the thing for $100), and maybe a half-decent acoustic, I am fairly set as far as my collection goes - it's not fancy, but everything does what I need it to.All except for one piece - sheer wankery of the highest order of Onanism: A six (or 7 string) fretless bass. I think I've narrowed it down to three choices: Ibanez Portamento: https://www.ibanez.com/usa/products/detail/srf706_1p_07.htmlPros: a lot of bells and whistles for the price. Lowest cost of the three by nearly a grand.Cons: comes as it comes - no customization, just tobaccoburst and a lot of tone choicesKiesel A2 or O2: https://www.kieselguitars.com/series/bass/o2-bassPros: Customizable. I can get pretty much any wood or finish I want, and I'm sure if I pay more I can get pretty much anything - like changing the headstock on the A2. Comes with built in Darkglass pre-amp, which can really help with blending in a tone.Cons: I don't know if they'll do a fretless multiscaleDingwall Z:https://dingwallguitars.com/bass/z/I'm pretty sure I can get these guys to make me whatever I want, as long is kind of looks like one of their basses. It might cost me $5k, but it would easily be the nicest instrument I would ever own.Cons: Instantly recognizable as a Dingwall... I don't know if that counts as a real downside.
>>129295979>sony mdrThat's an ok monitor for mixing according to the internet. But in my experience as a guitar playback monitor it's ass, even with my quad cortex.Other anon is right, your playback system is the problem. I'd get a 1x12 valve combo with an effects loop. As for which, I dunno what kind of distortion you like so just look up samples of marshall fender vox and more modern voiced ones like the 5150 or whatnot

>>129297253I'm drawn to Jacksons myself with somewhat high action and somewhat heavy strings, but with some high output pickups, Explorers of pretty much any vintage and terroir seem to be natural riff machines.
>>129297253You can play thrash on any dual humbucker guitar. The best is the one you like and make music on. You don't need a floating locking tremolo to make thrash, but Kahler is the second brand behind Floyd making locking nut trems. Kahlers tend to be a little smoother in my experience with less going out of tune on the G string every time you give the bar a good yank.

>based Philly McKnight talks about how G&L named all their guitars after weapons and asked him not to say that in a videoFuck man, this makes me want to have gotten one even more.

Should I go for a multi-effects board or single effect pedals?Looking at the BOSS ME-90 over their katana pedals btw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arKuY3QcRAQwhat pedals do i need to get this toan???
I promised myself I'd definitely sit and play today, but...
>>129296941how many times have you posted this same voc eric
>>129299272depends if getting a bunch of effects at once would be overwhelming to you or if just a couple of pedals would be too limiting to you
oh shit it's february already
>>129299308I'm new to guitar but I like to experiment With the ME-90 could I stack effects like with pedals?
https://voca.ro/1iGDZ83Cdibc
>>129299272Get a katana they have multi effects onboard
>>129299272i personally didnt like most of the presets on the katana 100 gen 3, so i ended up buying pedals anyway
>>129299324yes, and if you want to use your own pedals later it has an effects loop you can put them in
>>129299392I have a katana mini-x I was talking about the katana pedals
>>129299392The ME-90 has amp modelling on-board and also has footswitches and stuff. More useful than a katana, you'd have to buy additional footswitches and shit to control the effects.
>>129299416>>129299392I'm a retard I meant the waza craft stuff
>>129299431This is my board. There are a lot of different brands here. If you're going to buy individual pedals, I wouldn't restrict yourself to a specific brand. You might as well get a multifx unit. There are different "slots" in your effects chain (overdrive, distortion, fuzz, boost, modulation), and rather than buying whatever your favorite brand makes for that "slot", it can be better to do your own research and pick the pedal you want in that slot. Otherwise you might find yourself replacing it in the future when you fall out of love with your specific brand.
>>129299426I dunno this looks a little cumbersome but the unique footswitches are nice. You could run an IR-2 into a Katana with a footswitch and save alot more space>>129299431You could get a GX-10 for the price of like 2 Wazas the better deal is clear imo
almost every pentatonic scale sounds asiancan't really think of any permutations of five note scales derived from the diatonic that don't sound like they're "oriental"
>>129299485>forgot pic
HEAAD IIIIINNNNN THE CEEEEILINNNNG FAAAAAAAAAAAN
>>129298678that pedal alone in the corgan showcase sounds much closer
>>129299426Or just get an Airstep that does the same thing as the BOSS GA-FC switches and the bluetooth dongle at half the price.
>>129299568Then you're buying something that only works with the katana. If he likes the FX unit but wants to use a different amp he's SOL. Lots of professional artists use multi-FX units but they almost always use a real amp, not a katana.
>>129299598The guy asking isn't a professional artist he's a beginner>just buy this $400 pedal for your 10w amp broreddit type shit
Siamese Dream sound isn't hard to get. It's a big muff into a phaser with the rate turned down.
>>129299663shit loads of double tracking
do you guys just replicate tones or do you ever compose
>>129299719some of us decompose
>boomer selling vintera mustang for 460 beansWorth? Never played a short-scale>inb4 google itNah, google sucks now. I trust 4chinz
>>129299731I’m not decomposing, I’m fermenting!
>I'M TOO KOOL SKOOL!!!
bernth is legit even though i dont like his music
>>129299743he's gonna teach us how to grift?
>>129299653yea no shit but buying stuff you're going to replace tomorrow to save a buck today is how you stay poor, if your advice is to save money you're giving bad advice
>>129299272Get a good multifx. They're cheap and they've sounded good enough for a while now.Buying single pedals is one of the stupidest things you could start doing. When a lot of people and myself started buying pedals, the average price for a pedal was $99 or less and multifx were ass, so it was easy to buy a lot of different things and try them.Then the average price jumped up where almost everything is boutique priced. You'll see a bunch of redditor boards that are made by software devs that can't play or they play in church bands. You don't need that to play live, and pro musicians stick to the basics they can find anywhere (why you see so many Boss pedals).Guitarists are too retarded to figure out you have all these time-based and modulation effects and more inside your daw with more control. Learn the effects in Ableton/FL/Logic/Reaper/whatever you use. The only major exceptions are analog distortions/overdrives/fuzzes which can't be recreated with DSP.
>>129299475>gay flower pedal>fatass earthquaker pedalmxr and angry driver are cool I guess but this board is sus
>>129299775I don't like his lip ring and tattoos.
What’s the best guitar lesson!
>>129299475how do you like the angry driver
>>129299896tattoos are comfy and easy to werlar
>>129299037I find Ibanez necks a lot 'faster' I don't know if it's the radius or the finish on the back of the necks, but most Les Pauls feel like blunt instruments in comparison.I wish Abasi's guitars and the guitars that ripped off his ideas (by being the first concepts of what became his signature models) weren't so hideous. The Alphas, Laradas, Emis, and Kaizens are great to play.
>>129299850>fatass earthquaker pedalit's a big muff and a tone bender and an octave all in the same pedal. it's sick>>129299922It's alright, 90% of the time just use the BD side. The other side sounds good too, I just don't find myself using it a lot. Thought process was "if I'm gonna get a BD-2, this is a BD-2 plus another pedal in the same spot, why not".
>took amp to tech to repair>2-3 weeks to fix>pick up smaller backup amp>open box>no speaker cables>left my speaker cables in my box at the techfuck me im retarded
Would an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar be better to play alone in my room just to myself?I never picked up an instrument. I like My Chemical Romance and The Smiths.
>>129300220both of those bands make music with electric guitars so buy an electric guitar. buy an acoustic if you specifically want to play and sound that way
>>129300220you're quite the silly fellow

I’m taking a pole. What size pick do you use?
>>129300564Depends on the pole, north or south you will need a decent sized ice pick either way
>>129300220get a hollow body electric. you can play both ways
i live in an apartment and have an amp. what's the most annoying riff?
>>129300564Is the Pole aware of this?I'm using these guys. https://attakpik.com/en-ca/products/stealth?srsltid=AfmBOopkEiz4NITobYYylewk3ZNTYN3vAq-YKom61yT5dEBzKYlYUG7wTechnically 2mm, but sculpted in such a way that they're quite thin between the thumb and finger(s) and at the tip. Basically a jumbo jazz III. I found the radiums a little too stiff (whatever fluorescent plastic they're using is a bit stiffer than the others), but the blacks and whites are good for heavier picking - very aggressive on the snap, even when not playing heavily. Their Flex picks (1.3) are still quite thick, but seem to play more like something in the 0.7-0.9mm range.The Stealth 3's are a lot more like jazz 3's. I don't really like them. The heavy's are way too heavy. I'm still deciding if I like the XLs for bass or not - I didn't get that gig , so for the most part I'm still playing bass with my fingers anyway.Neat little company. I'm sad they stopped doing the custom prints... and I don't like more than half of their products, but I can see why some people might.

>>129300683Don’t bother. They have a plastic creaminess that can’t be dialed out
>>129300895wtf is plastic creaminess
>>129300669Nice. Gotta try these
I like seeing you guys try to describe stuff
>>129301023/lit/ trannies suck guitar nerds dicks
>>129300694I used to love the Dunlop 0.96's, but I was warping the tips every song.
>>129299324You cannot stack more than one effect from each category, so if you were looking to stack drive pedals gain stages this won't work for you. Boss MS-3 is a slightly more advanced ME-90 that lets you stack overdrives, but only two. So still pretty limited unless you make you of external pedals in the loop switcher.
>>129301087I can only stomach /v/ and /gg/. I don’t even like /mu/ outside of /gg/. even v is shit most of the time; used to browse ck but it’s moderated by a fat lesbian and k is noguns retards
I'm asking for some advice on training with electric guitar. I bought the cheapest electric guitar possible on amazon (around 140 dollars the brand is called DONNER), and it broke on me after a couple of months of practicing. I'll have come by the money to buy a new sturdier guitar hopefully this summer but until then is it still good to practice with just an unplugged electric guitar?
How do you guys find cool chords to play around with when writing songs?I don't think I want to do just open chords like everyone else
>>129301310start with something... either a basic chord progression, or a melody, or even a rhythm. Note it down so you don't lose your starting point. Tweak the melody or the accompaniment, noting outside notes. See what notes might clash and whether you like it or not (flat fifths and minor ninths for the most part), adjust the chords accordingly. If it still sounds too simple, or isn't quite what you're after, sub in different notes of chords - maybe you don't necessarily want a major or minor chord, so move the third out of the way to a major 2nd or a 4th to make it a suspended chord, or maybe you want a 9th, 11th, or 13th instead of a 7th in your major/minor chord (a major sixth instead of a major seventh is a pretty nice jazzy sub). Maybe sub out entire chords for something in the same family (a third or a fifth up or down is basically the easy way of doing this. II's and IV's sub for each other nicely, as do V's and VII's, IIIs and VIs, etc.). Maybe the substitution doesn't quite nail it, so you move from the subbed chord to the original, or vice versa. >Short answer:practice, making the ears and instincts better>Long answer:a whole lot of fucking around.
>>129301506Thanks these are good tips and I'll jot them down but I was asking about literally just finding chords through like tab charts
>>129301524something like this? https://www.all-guitar-chords.com/chords/indexIt gets pretty needle-in-a-haystack if you don't go in with some idea of what you're looking for, or why things might work while others don't.
>>129301524You need to learn what the chords mean. Chord charts are a shortcut that bypass the important part - learning the chords and the fret board. The name of the chord tells you what notes are in it and what the root note is. You can figure it out from there.
>>129301300In what way did it break?
>>129301300>>129301703$2 on the jack. If there's a backplate or a full faceplate on it, unscrew it, unscrew the nut on the outside of the jack and any screws holding any sort of plate in place, pop it in through the hole if necessary and see if one of the wires has come loose from the solder points on the inside of the jack.It's an easy fix, especially if you have a decent soldering iron. Jacks are dirt cheap to replace if what's there is trashed or globbed up with a crap soldering job.

The Gibson SG bass is underrated.

>>129303603Haven't seen that cutaway done before. Looks kinda cool though I prefer symmetrical. If your goal is to do it just for playing while sitting, don't. Play it classical style with your right thigh between the horns. Gotoh is a quality brand so I imagine their floyd to be worth it. But also, with such an important part of the guitar, going cheap will just be a pain. Splurge a little and get a floyd from a quality brand. I dunno.
>>129304610looking at reviews and it seems like the Gotoh is made a lot better than the expensive FRsI had to set up some guys dogshit guitar from some famous 80s band once and it had a Kahler on it and that thing sucked so badall these parts would fall out of it when adjusting things on the bridge or locking nut
