I have a question. Why do luthiers get so mad when I ask for high action setup? Like, what's the matter in having high action? Like, not all players like low action, you know? Not all players want to play soft and fast. There are players who want the notes to have air to vibrate and shit. I mean, this guy would not setup my gutar because I said I prefer high action. Alright. It's not like I wanted my action at a point where it becomes impossible to play. I just want the strings to vibrate without buzzing. Why is this so taboo? I'm serious. Most luthiers get mad when you ask for high action or you complain that the action is low. They start to create excuses and shit. it's curious.
>>129504341my butt is fartin'
>>129504367if you have high action its not set up right. medium action or low action is a preference, high action is a mistake
>>129504370Try less nachos, pajjet. Maybe it will help. Less on the curry as well.
>>129504382this fag is newin'
>>129504377See what I'm talking about? The guy never even played my guitar and he is already saying it is wrong based on some random subject reason. lol This is exactly my point and thanks for signaling my point here.
>>129504377You don’t play funk then
>>129504341>PRSlmao
>>129504392Just say you play slide
>>129504395If I want to play funk then I have the guitar which the properly setup for that. But I'm not talking about funk. I'm talking about my main instrument. The one which I use for most things. Low action makes the string buzz and I have noticed it also makes the note less good because there are less room for the string to vibrate, plus you can put too much energy into the pick or finger because you will distort the natural sound of the note, it will buzz. To me that is not acceptable. I know most players find that acceptable and this is why I think luthiers don't like when I ask for high action. They are used in setting guitars for low actions. They create excuses. I'm the fucking artist. I know what I want. It's like when the doctor said Tony Iommi would never play again. Did he acceted that/ Nope, he created his own aritificial finger rips and created fuckign Heavy Metal. If you allow a fucking nobody to say what you can or can't do then you will never taste success. Fuck you.
>>129504392i dont need to play your guitars, action is action. and you aint in the action if you dont have it set up right.
>>129504426I wasn’t talking to you schizo
>>129504367honestly he probably had a lot of retarded customers and thought you were going to bitch two days later and try to get the work for free
Think it's happening, bros. I'm starting to suck less and less
I have this fascination and admiration for the instrument itself, but I can't seem to dedicate myself to learning how to play better.Thinkin' about trying to learn some songs... Marty Music has been recommended to me. Perhaps I'll try some Zeppelin. >>129504573What's your secret?
>>129504586Muse has some of the easiest riffs you can just rock yourself out, some needs drop D though
Sup /gg/, how can I come up with cool/interesting strumming patterns?
>>129504586you'll fit right in
>>129504602try Beatles - All My Loving, harder than it looks
>>129504586>What's your secret?Practice at least 2 hours most days of the week. Only been playing for a little bit more than a year so I still have a long way to go but I could become intermediate in the next few months
I’m good enough that I can play any guitar and sound great without bitching about action, string gauge, or neck profile
>>129504623How do you navigate a two hour practice session?
even 30 minutes a day should be enough, it's about building a habit. soon enough hours passed and you can barely feel it.I don't think I ever trained that many hours in just a single day but then again I already trained playing guitar since 15 years ago.
>>129504695Probably not great. KekIdeally I start off with some exercises for finger mobility and warmup with some scales, particularly the A minor pentatonic, and some chromatic scales. Then I just practice some songs that I've been learning, with those same songs mostly having things that I need to learn, like barre chords, arpeggios, etc. Then I play along to songs that I'm skilled enough to really play. Sometimes I just skip the warmup altogether which is a bad habit though.So really I could probably use a much better practice routine but I do feel like I have been improving anyway.
>>129504741at some point you should just put some background track in some key (lots of em in youtube) and try improvising from there. you'll slowly build the instinct of which note to play next to be able to control your own pace.
>>129504766Yeah, I was just thinking recently that improvisation and ear training are two areas that I'm really lacking in so I have to start focusing on those some more. I haven't really done much of either so far
Just ordered a Marshall DSL40CR, do I keep the Katana 50 or sell it and get a cab to run the DSL like pic rel?
>>129504741What are some warmup routines that I should take up?>>129504766I've got a Boss Looper so I have just been playing little melodies in a scale over top of some looped chords, and I feel like I need to improve on sideways string to string interactions more than up and down one string...I'm thinking about writing out some sticky notes with some practice specifics to place on the wall (like some sort of homicide investigation) but I don't really know where to start. Guitar isn't new to me but I definitely haven't done enough practice... I was stuck in a whirlpool of trying to find the 'best' 'instrument' 'for me' with 'all the bells and whistles' and in the end I am now using a Squier Tele and a Fender Frontman 10G. I gotta say, it just feels good to have the option to play after so long without. I was getting stir crazy.
>>129504837Keep it, two cabs is the way
>>129504843If you're going to play over chords with a looper pedal I recommend something that requires you to modulate with your melody. It's not comfy at first but that's the point, when you're comfy you noodle.
>>129504837keep it as a backup
>>129504857>>129504865Noted, am keen to run both off a pedal and see how the Katana compares with some of the user made tones.
just immediately do giant steps improv heh
the selector switch on my Tele just pooped out
just peepee poopoo over this song I’ve never played heh
>>129504341I was never great at guitar when I was a teen, but now that I'm 35, I think I'm going to go back to it. Does anyone still play Les Pauls other than old farts? What's the meta on clones right now?
>>129505227>does anyone still play les paulsnobody plays anything anymore>clonesthey're all the same
anyone has that dodgy guitar brand in the nearest store that doesn't even have its own online page? I used to own one acoustic and it's stuck with me for a decade but as soon as I bought a Cort, I immediately deposed it. for some reason I already forgot the name of the brand.

>>129505318Happy birthday, anon. Today is my sis's birthday as well. You better not be her.
>>129505352I’m excited, I’ve always wanted a black 620. This is one of my favorite records ever and yeah Tom’s/Mike’s is a 12 string 660 and yeah it’s Fireglo and not Jetglo but it’s always made me want one, and with the 620 shape I love the Jetglo look more than the Fireglo.
>>129505393Nah I’ve got the same bday as the guy my dookie telecaster is from

>>129505406Sorry, bro. I'm doing circuits homework and am sleep deprived. Happy early birthday, anyway.
>>129505318That's a beautiful guitar. Happy Birthday to you, Anon, and Rip to the feline.

>>129505450Rest up big guy. Nice Revstar btw.
>>129505450fucking orange cats man. how old was it in that photo here’s my cat
>>129505318rip and enjoy the new guitar
>>129505466It was a cool guitar but I traded it a few months ago>>129505469That pic was in July, he would have been 12 in April. It’s been a rough few weeks leading up to when we put him down yesterday and today was a really rough day being the first day without him
>>129505579nice long life. hey man we should all aspire to go out with dignity and not suffer.

I'm actually happy how it turned out.

>>129505939No. You're gay now.
>>129505396That one's just Mike's...
>>129505942cute
>>129506092Yeah but Tom played Mike’s guitars all the time and for long periods at a time, and it’s Mike’s guitar in Tom’s hands on the cover of one of their best records. Tom’s main Strat for nearly the entirety of the Heartbreakers belonged to Mike but even Mike Campbell himself calls it Tom’s Strat.
>>129506109It was just for the cover shot.That one's Mike's.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNUWlrKaWkA&feature=youtu.be
>>129505942turned out? it’s needs a set up. fuck outta here nigga with ya lazy bum ass ain’t even set up that damn guitar. get the fuck out my face nigga
>>129505942Qrd?
>>129505274All it needed was a squirt of Deoxit. We're so back.
https://voca.ro/13qVZMm1GqW4
>>129506115You're arguing semantics. Yes like I said it’s Mike’s guitar and Tom played it. It wasn’t just for the cover of the record, it was played by both of them until Tom got his 330/360. Prior to Mike getting it they’d just play octaves with each other to get that 12 string sound, and then that guitar was the only electric 12 string they used for a while. Tom continued to play Fireglo 660s when he got his signature model.

All you idiots care about is aesthetics and not learning how to fucking play.
>>129509047don't include me
I don't think I'll ever be a good guitar player as far as playing in a good band. I started way too late to be constantly mindful of where the tonics are in every scale in every major tuning, and how solos should resolve every 4 bars to the tonic and then you can go subdominant or dominant to the key you're in to spice things up and it's completely dizzying. I'll just stick to open and barre chords and fingerpicking in various tunings and whatnot. Lead / soloing is not for me. Manuel Gottsching and Kawabata Makoto are kings.
>>129509047dont need to learn how to play with my freakout psychrock schizorock daniel johnston/beefheart style music.
>>129508944Nah I know, I'm just playing. I really find them unattractive. I dunno what Leo was smoking when the fender headstocks he did were gorgeous.
^^^...^^^
>>129509245I get that. They definitely have an odd look to them. I think after Leo left Fender, they told him he wasn’t allowed to use a headstock that looked anything like Fender’s, hence the weird design. As for the bridge, Leo designed it as an improvement to his old bridge design. He could have kept the old one, but he made the new dual fulcrum bridge so that the guitar would stay in tune better with heavy use. I have to say, it really does stay in tune better, but it’s chunky look definitely is unique. Overall, I love the way the guitar plays and sounds. I have played my buddy’s custom shop Fender Strat, and can honestly say that it plays and sounds just as good as his. But I definitely understand why someone wouldn’t want one for the look of it.

>>129509361Yeah headstocks do seem to be more protected than bodies when it comes to design. Only in Japan can you do one to one copies for the market. And yeah I did hear the bridge works much better even if it doesn't look nice. Glad that axe is working out for you in any case.

Are donner, legacy, scorpion or other chinese guitars good for total beginners?
>>129510242nobody thinks this but you.
>>129510255If you can try the guitar in a store and verify it's set up properly with decent action and no buzzing it'll serve your needs regardless of price or brand.
>>129510262everyone except me is wrong thensimple as
>>129510242This is the kind of guitar you buy to match the aesthetic of the rest of your outfit. Like a purse. You have multiple of the same guitar in different colors for different outfits.
>>129510255>other chinese guitars good for total beginners?not those ones, but firefly and zhong are decentdon't discount harley benton and chinese squiers tooalso worth looking at cort (indonesian), and chinese yamaha pacificas as well
>>129510280or you let the guitar dictate your lifestyle like a mental patient
>wrist pain while doing scalesFuck i need to learn how to stretch my fingers
>>129510138Let's step outside and see if you're as tough as you think.
>>129508950I switched from fingers to pick near the end of last year. Picking is more fun
>>129510529picking is great for beginners
>>129510267>>129510284Thanks for the advice. I really can't play guitars though, so I'd probably just embarrass myself if I try to play one. So I'm just thinking to buy one online based on reviews, or buy a used one from fb market place and ask the seller to play it for me to test it lol.
>>129510588you don't need to play guitar to verify it's set up properly. you can even ask someone working at the store to verify it's set up properly, and if it's not they will do it for you. Do NOT buy a guitar online as a beginner. You should only buy guitars online if you are going to set them up once they arrive, or plan to take them to a store to get set up, in which case the online order was unnecessary.
>>129510479You shouldn't need to stretch your fingers to play scales. If you learn your scale positions properly you are moving between positions so you don't need to stretch out of a 4 fret spread, one for each finger.
Are there any guitar courses that are actually worth watching if you want to improve? One of the reasons why I can't dedicate some proper time to practice is because I don't know what to practice and all the stuff on yt seems like a bunch of ads to sell shit. And all those cringy, obnoxious thumbnails really put me off.
>>129510944you need to set clearly defined goals first. “I want to do everything really well” is not a SMART goal.
>>129510944I'm in a similar place, right now I'm just doing spider-walking exercises and knowing the fretboard so I'm fluent on it
>>129510944No. You need an actual teacher. Online courses are created to be palatable to a wide audience and collect money from beginners. They are not geared towards actually being effective in improving your abilities as a guitar player. Teaching is a skill, it requires knowing the needs of the student and adapting your lesson plan accordingly. Online courses weren't made for you, it's cope for people who can't or don't want to take lessons.
>>129510944https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJwa8GA7pXCWAnIeTQyw_mvy1L7ryxxPHWatch this is you want to understand music. Get a Hal Leonard book if you want exercises.
>>129511153this is good advice but when he says “if you want exercises” he really means it. those HL method books are great but goddamn are they boring.
https://youtu.be/SeYIyYmBmCUhave you written any songs about poop /gg/
>>129511272I wrote a song about getting vored
>>129510956Stuff like "I wanna get better at alternate picking?" That still doesn't really tell me how to get there. >>129510973Every time I try the spider I just end up noodling. Ah. I should definitely work on knowing the fretboard though. >>129511012Yeah that's what I'm thinking is the best too. Thing is, finding a good teacher is hard. I really need to ask around and look online, see if there's something in my area that isn't geared to complete beginners or requires a yearly subscription. >>129511153Oh I'm gonna look into that, thanks. Looks like a good way to learn guitar in the more theory sense.
>>129511351>finding a good teacher is hardFind someone who has gone to school for music or teaching. Don't take lessons from some random guitar player who is offering lessons. The ability to play does not imply the ability to teach, or even that they know what the fuck they are doing.
>>129510217Are those cheap Fender A/B splitters good enough? Asking because they seem suspiciously cheap for Fender product you plug guitars into.
>>129511351here you go bud. i wasted $30 on this from a professional bluegrass player. downpick on the beat, up-pick on the offbeat. there you go now youve received a full course on alternate picking. the other guy is right most of these courses and teachers are a joke. i also paid for that dudes cracking the code picking course too btw. the secret is to just keep playing im not even joking. ive spent more on courses and books than 98% of people have spent on gear in this general, if you have a clearly defined goal more than just learning to pick i can point you in a better direction but picking is going to be covered in all these courses unless youre going to play classical
>>129510615It's just wrist pain in general. I'm not stretching far or hard but after like 20ish minutes of playing I'll need to shake my wrist or pull my fingers out
>>129511591you’re squeezing too hard. either bad setup, guitar strings are too heavy gauge, or aggravating a preexisting injury
Anyone have any experience playing a guitar in stereo through two amps? I’m thinking about a wet/dry stereo setup with one clean and one with my board.
>>129511658the old rick basses were built with dual output jacks and i know srv plugged stereo later in his career. maybe you can use that information to drum up some information online if you dont get any help here
>>129511591record a video of your wrist and hand playing these scales. my teacher studied the ergonomics of the arm, i'll show it to him on wednesday
>>129511390Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Hopefully I can find someone who can do both. >>129511540Thanks for that, I'll put it to use. And sure, would appreciate the info. I'm mainly looking just to improve my picking for now but I'll take anything worthwhile that'll help me improve.
>>129506794Playing sounds cool, but how are the pick sounds so loud and present? Do you have your mic right next to where you are picking on the guitar?
Cherry burst and Southern busts are best bursts btw.
its honeyburst for me
I like strats and teles in solid color and lps with flame tops. Lps in solid color look pretty good too but strats and teles with a flame top don't interest me at all.
>>129511435desu I just would throw any stereo pedal into your effects loop then split the return between amps
>>129511896I like your SG. Did you do anything to angle the PUP's at all to match the break angle or do you just let it ride?
>>129511435bro they're the simplest shit why would you want them to be expensive
>>129511435To split a signal into two grounded amps like that you'll need an ABY with an isolation transformer on one of the outputs; a basic one will give you horrendous ground loop buzzing in that kind of setup.
>>129511927scientifically speaking it shouldn’t make a difference
>>129512135shut the fuck up retard your guitar is the wrong colour
>>129512135where are the metal covers and their fields in your diagram?
>>129512154you're the wrong color
>>129512161>metal covers
>>129512173I can play The Trooper does that count?
>>129512161they don’t appreciably affect the magnetic field. there’s some research on this stuff online
>>129512191I think the whole series is called Dr Lawing’s Blog if anyone cares
>>129511927chorus amp sideways doesn't work. our ears are left/right, not up/down.
>>129512135scientifically speaking have you every adjusted your pickups it makes more difference than literally else you can do to your guitar. even a slight change makes a dramatic difference in volume for each string>>129511927i care a lot more about how the strat sounds than how the SG sounds, the SG is really just for contrast. not as picky with it, humbuckers are so far away from the sound I'm going for I don't even know where to start
>>129512230excuse my grammar retardation makes me see red and type too fast
>>129512220If you're headbanging they are.
>>129512230we’re talking about balancing both side of the pickup to match the string angle not raising or lowering the entire pickup. the magnetic field runs in a somewhat cylindrical shape along the length of the humbucker pickup. what you’re talking about is like rotating a circle on its center point
>>129512220I tried to tell him he will cook the circuits by running it on its end but he won't listen.
>>129512249all raising and lowering the pickup in its entirety is going to do is affect your total volume. when you adjust one side or the other, or the individual pole pieces, you are affecting the individual string volume and dramatically changing the EQ of your sound
>>129512220>>129512256Where do you retards get these batshit theories from? Is it some influencer meme?
>>129512268again, please fucking read
>/gg/>schizo physics and makeup general
electromagnets are cool
>>129512302https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_8n2Qgguto
>>129512274my bad i see you are talking about break angle not neck radius. i've never considered adjusting the pickup along the vertical axis, just the horizontal. looking at my SG - no, the pickup is parallel with the body not the break angle
>>129512269it's not a theory it's a fact. left/right is how stereo works, that's a stereo chorus amp and having it vertical is retarded. just like you wouldn't set up your home stereo speakers on top of eachother
>>129512302>all of that work just to make a 2 hour video of blowing improvised fuses
>>129512318You aren't a very smart fella
>>129512318this isn't really relevant when it's coming out of a single cab. you'd have a point if it was two cabs you could position further away from each other
>>129512316all good>>129512319true. it was very impressive that the circuit picked up the 22 pound anvil like it was nothing though. terrifying.
>>129512314brb trying this
>>129512314I did this to my EMGs and they sound 100x now
>>1295123142008 youtube take me back
>>129512361We all wish we could go back...
>>129512220The chorus is stereo but I use a chorus pedal rather than the in-amp chorus anyways and before you get pissy it's a modified CE-1 circuit. I don't care that it's stereo I just like the sound and having 2x12's.
nobody uses the built-in chorus effect lol
>>129512689yes we do
>>129512412vertical jc120 with a small fender tube amp on top is big brain shit.
>>129512738all of the amps on that stage (and most stages anyone performs on) are miked. makes a lot of what anons are sperging about completely irrelevant
Tubes are boomer superstition. Nothing big brain about using tech that's been obsolete for 60+ years
>>129512752And not one of those mics feeds into a tube-based amplifier. Food for thought.
>>129511351Also a newbie. Mainly play bass I've bought books and courses. The best practice is playing>>129511633Definitely a mix of this. Pretty sure it was you that mentioned my bass action needing to be fixed. Also I lift and my form hasnt been the best recently so I'm sure that is fucking me up. >>129511706I'll try to make a video tomorrow
>>129512755Nothing wrong with solid state at all. They do sound different, a little bit, if that's better or worse is taste. Most guitar players are at least somewhat interested in the technology though, and tubes are an iconic part of music technology.
I've emailed my feedback about a broken guitar that I bought from a company. Is that a weird thing to do?
>>129512781It will get spam filtered by their IT admin anyway.
>>129512762Right, because mics don't go into amplifiers that clip. The point of tubes is how they clip. If you aren't clipping your tubes they are doing literally nothing to your sound. If you are clipping your tubes, what comes after in your signal chain doesn't matter, the clipping has already happened and been captured.
Tube breakup is well documented in and out of the guitar amp world. Read up on tube saturation, asymmetrical clipping, and even order harmonics.
>>129512816*models all that shit with a cpu weaker than your cell phone's*
almost ready for paint
>he doesn’t mount his amps upside down from the ceiling
>>129512830*turns on AC-3 sending into katana's acoustic channel*
>>129512830why settle for an imitation if you can have the real thing. tube amps aren't some unachievable treasure
>>129512835Looks better unpainted. Clear coat that shit.>>129512837My JC is suspended in a zero gravity chamber during all of my performances.
>>129512843It's an improvement not an imitation. Tube amps are fragile as shit compared to any modern technology. Nevermind them being 100 times heavier to lug around to gigs.They also are highly inefficient and waste a ton of power if you are some treehugging faggot who cares about that. It's like using an old incandescent bulb instead of an LED to light your house.
Fender Japan mogs. Sorry, that's a fact.
>>129512843Nta but there's too many of them. I might buy a marshall or an orange but there's a hundred of those and a hundred other brands each with their own hundred amps.
>>129512874Thing: Japan always mogs. Sorry, that's a fact.
>>129512874Name one thing JP has over US, and dont say price because lol imports
>>129512854yea the sapele does look pretty cool just with shellac but the hardware i have is all aged gold stuff so im just gonna paint it black then relic the shit out of it because im gay and like relics but also cannot paint worth a shit so relicing hides how bad i am at paintingi really want to build a Matamp or Orange amp to play doom with this but I haven't really found any amp kits for them except Hilbish which I've read some iffy stuff about...Weber makes a Orange style amp but it's not very faithful one to the OR80/OR120 GT120 type circuit it does sound really gnarly though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo9o_NzhH2shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQeNxXNViVs
>>129512774not same guy. I just had to quit guitar because it was aggravating the injury in my fretting hand even playing 10s on a strat with a perfect setup. you’re probably playing a ton of chords or barre chords. I’d limit your practice with them to 10 minutes a day then take a weekend off with some hot/cold therapy
>>129512885Why do you need 100 amps. The guy that buys an amp modeller is the same guy who buys 12 guitars because he's not a musician he's a larper. Buy one amp that you like, solid state or tube. Unless your goal is to make "Recreating X Guitarist's Tone" videos for youtube.
>>129512906>then relic the shit out of it please no...
>>129512896I've had a bunch of MIJ/CIJ Fenders and was never impressed with them compared to their reputationjunk hardware, terrible pickups, terrible electronicsthe higher end MIM stuff that got AVRI pickups/hardware stock I've had always kicked MIJ shits dick in in my experience
>>129512874This one came with Lace Sensor pickups right out of the fujigen factory in the 90s.
>>129512931I dont need or want 100 amps, thats the point. Sometimes I'd like to try a friedman or whatever other modded marshall types are out there and sims make that really accessible.
>>129512870tube amps aren't heavy. reverb tanks are heavy.
its too heavy how am i going to get to the gig i am imagining myself playing
>>129513081How are any of these heavy
>>129512874For me? its gibson custom shopthe only truly authentic playing experience >>129513047my 1x15 vintage boogie combo weighs 100lbs
so i went to a different guitar center and they gave me a power supply for my helix stomp in like 5 seconds it was refreshing really, every GC is different i suppose why dont you faggots ever bring up the HX stomp btw? in the years ive been here i dont think its ever been mentioned its fucking amazing
>>129513081little amps sound like shiteven 50w amps sound like ass compared to 100widk what it is but 100w amps just sound so fucking amazing even when not crankedsomething about the bass, its super tight and way heavier but somehow almost sounds like its less than 50w but still isand the top end gets all glassy too that's not there in 50w amps
>>129513081Be like BBA and just keep all your gear in your car, remember real musicians don’t bring their guitar and amp into their house.
>>129513434You're just letting everyone know your ear is bad and less powerful than your bias. Like I said earlier, if your tubes aren't clipping, they are doing literally nothing to your signal. The EQ is a separate stage. You are hearing a difference in EQ and attributing it to something else because you don't know anything.
>>129513454>what are big transformers
>>129513454Coolpost your playing
>>129511818mic is equal distance from speakers and guitar so that i can sing too also i have very strong pick attack
every cool guitar player just uses amps and isn't a giant effects fag
>>129513512most of the really good musicians i know hardly talk about their gear at all, like yeah theyll talk about it if you bring it up but if its an open jam they are just as likely to use whats on stage already as their own gear.
>>129513539>BUT MUH ACTION AND STRING GAUGE!grow up
you don't need all those gears if you can't do at least 4-string sweep picking
>want to be "good" at guitar for ego reasons>don't actually like the music that people who are "good" at guitar make
>>129512896Cooler designs. Fender usa could never make something as good looking as pic rel for example.
>>129513585i dont like the green part
>>129513434>little amps sound like shitbullshit, depends largely on the cab
>>129513598Yeah it's a little out of place but the rest of it is gorgeous.
>>129513585that guitar is hella gay though
>>129504367What even is high action to some people. I prefer the low e at 2mm and the high e at 1.50mmThe guy from Dinosaur Jr apparently plays with higher action than that.
>>129513585>no inlays and strange pickupsehhhh. body is cool outside of the green.
>>129513674>strange pickupsThose are Lace Alumitones pleb.
>>129513604jstrat is cuter
>>129513653j mascis sucks at guitar
>>129513719I know, they're a bit odd, a tad queer is what I'm saying.
>>129513618No u>>129513674No inlays is not bad by default, the special one at 12th fret looks cool. And I've never seen those pickups before this but they look cool and I do like the HS config. That body color just looks too good and I like the red nut on black neck. >>129513726Which one is that?
>>129513755it's his silly little mod shop strat
>>129513585they would you just can’t afford custom shop. it’s ok most can’t
>>1295136532mm at the 12th on bass is the right height for going inbetween slapping and fingerstyle. I could go slightly higher and be fine but you have to slap harder and it kills your speed
>>129513585>anime meme guitar>good designlmao this is even more embarrassing than signature models
>>129513918weed is degenerate

>>129513846Wouldn't mind seeing it still. >>129513859Oh no, I've been called poor by some internet faggot whatever shall I do? This was in production, not a custom shop so my point still stands. >>129513901>muh anime badGood design is good design, regardless of what it's based on.
https://voca.ro/17cK9RWEvuby
https://voca.ro/1hjL7O4V0g8k
>>129513992you said they could never. they would even replicate that guitar in the custom shop if you paid them to, or create something even more unusual than that. the custom shop is part of fender usa. I fail to see how that doesn’t utterly destroy your point
anyone here own a polara? do you like it?
Where does jestermaxxing fit into the guitar world?
>>129513585alumitones are the most disappointment ive ever hadthey aren't bad but they are just soooooooooooo boring sounding
>>129514039My point was that fender usa could never do a production model that isn't a boring ass sunburst or whatever model like they always do. Of course a custom shop that makes custom models based on whatever specs you provide them could make anything you want, that's the whole point of it. But your quirky little custom shop model will never be on the production line. That was my point and even then it was just tongue in cheek for the most part. Who knew a fender fanboy would get so damn butthurt over it.
>>129514114Ah I really don't know much about them beyond the fact that they look cool as fuck. Really nice design.
>>129513918is there any difference between those two 5150s besides the font?hate how these things were like 400 bucks 5-6 years ago and now everyone want 2k for them
>>129514124They 'could' but why would they? Fender Japan (which isn't real Fender, just a licensed copy) can do whatever since it's just a decal applied to a guitar in a factory that cranks out tons of other brands
>>129514135yea they look so weird and cool and then you stick them in your guitar and they are just the most boring sounding single coil sound you can possibly imagine where they don't sound bad but they just sound so incredibly uninteresting
>>129514077you're looking at it
>>129514124Listen bro me and Fender we tight. So yeah, BACK THE FRICK UP?!
>>129514124Check it
>>129514215Also this one
I walked into a music shop to get some strings, and the man working was behind the counter, his face buried in a religious text. I said, "excuse me sir, I'm interested in a Les Paul." to my surprise, the man set down his Talmud onto a velvet pillow carefully and smiled. It was none other than Les Paul himself. He winked and said, "You got him."

playing guitar is fun. are you having fun /gg/?
>>129514153And they still crank out cooler and more interesting designs than fender usa. Also what is a fender in that case? Is fender mexico also just a licensed copy then?>>129514154That's really a shame. Might as well get some proper pups then and put some cool looking covers on them. >>129514195Damn bro my bad. Wish you and fender good luck. >>129514215That's a body shape, it's a different story. Good to see something different though, but that lower horn looks weird when matched with the upper one. I'll say though, besides the strats and teles, I think meteora is my third fave from fender.
>>129514254We got matchin ones too my guy
>>129514285what’s a banana hanger
>>129514290no because I'm not currently playing guitar
>>129514292cool design? Like the Stratocaster? Fender Japan doesn't design shit, they make cheap copies of Fender designs
damn every strat copy just got btfo
>>129514421No you don't understand. A cool design is a stupid paint job. This isn't rocket science.
>>129514327something to hang you orange peels on, got to let the other fruits know where they stand in this cosmos
>>129514327Yuppie kitchen furniture
>>129514215>>129514226i find the success of the meteora absolutely bafflingi love bizarre guitars but the design of the meteora is so insanely lazy and bad I cant believe it got made....and then somehow it's a successful new shapethe contours are so hamfisted and then the strat headstock looks so insanely out of place ffs
>>129514421>cheap copiesthey were chosen because they're craftsmanship was on par with fenders back in the day. im not one to place anything above MIA but MIJ is no cheap slouch.
>>129514521I just wish they'd bring back the cyclone

>>129514521>success>meteoralmao pick one. nobody wants that shit or bought that shit
>>129514521Yeah it looks unwieldy and I dont see the point of it over an HH Jazzmaster which they've done several times now. But it's on it's 3rd or 4th version so someone out there must be buying it.
I buy shit, I really buy that shit from strangers online

>>129514661based poorfag pounder
>>129514639I like the Maverick IIRC Fender couldn't sell enough XIIs so they made the Maverick using over stock by bandsawing chunks off trying to make a new model instead of throwing out a bunch of bodies and necks
>>129514568I thought they sold pretty well just discontinued?does anyone remember the Marshall Class 5 amp?those things sounded amazing, they were always out of stock because they'd get bought up instantly...and then Marshall discontinued them?that was one of the weirdest things in guitar
