Jag parts and pickups should be delivered Friday so I’ll have a weekend of shooting guns and blowing stuff up and also soldering and set up work
ObservationAmongst most musicians, seeking specific and often expensive equipment is a highly personal journey reserved for extremely experienced players who are performing at a professional level and can actually extract the tonal and intonation nuances from say, a $6000 clarinet or a piano that costs more than the average /gg/ poster's house.Amongst electric guitarists, it is simply a quest to make the instrument not sound like absolute fucking dog shit in isolation (no mic, no mix) and finally play something pleasant sounding without a full band covering up the electric guitars usual sterility and harshness - and rather than being as limitless as the musicians skill, the pursuit of better shit hits a price:performance ceiling relatively early and every player benefits except people who only, only ever use their gear to play with a band. Thus the best guitarists openly mock and flex upon the worst by playing on squiers and solid state amp sims, whilst beginners and amateurs buy gibsons and tube amps just so their bedroom solos sound less grating.
>>130785072It's really all comes down to the guitars feel so you're going to want a suhr
For me, it's the neck pick up.
>>130785072Yeah man unpotted pickups really fill out my tone. Its science dude. The slider monkey can suck my dick man. Feedback is badass anyways.
>>130785072the clarinet is 6k not because of some quality, not because of some mystical property, its called economics of scale, electric guitars out sell these niche instruments so manufacturers need to charge more since they sell less of them, its really incredibly simple economics, if clarinet was as popular as electric guitar, you'd find $100 clarinets that were built for quality.Alas people think bigger number better without actually doing their due diligence.
speaking about clarinet I just picked up a new trumpet because something bad happened in my life and i needed a random purchase to cope
>>130785072You already posted this poorfag wall of cope
RIP
>>130785119economies of scale don't existgta vi sells so many copies they could sell for 20 bucks and still be profitable because of the audience size, but they don't, they sell for 100 because people pay anyway
>>130785136Did you just compare a digital product to a physical object?Anon I.
>>130785072Also notable: Every single guitarist product is a black box with knobs that do god-knows-what. Electronic musicians at least think about how they will achieve a sound before turning a knob. Electronic musicians sculpt their sound from fundemental primitives. They craft a waveform from scratch. What does a guitarist do?*buys product*>hmm this sounds good*twiddles knob*>this kills my "tone"!*tries random shit*>my life quest... toan...Guitarists are dumbasses, for the most part.
>>130785104more like neck pick up with a rope
>>130785119Literally every elementary school buys pallets of clarinets. You can get a used but well kept ridenour, yamaha, etc or old buffet or leblanc for <$500 that is as close to a modern, super well intonated pro instrument as you will ever need as someone who is not a child prodigy. The super tiny differences that break the economy of scale are reserved for master players with perfect pitch.

squidward’s clarinet wasn’t $6k and he got along just fine

I know, I'll buy this pickup, it will make me "sound" better.
>>130784978The idea is to have a consistent non-speaking length slope so all the strings apply an equal force on the bridge, but it's poorly executed. Most guitar builders are not acoustic engineers.
>>130785180I would feel bad for him but he can afford a 2 story house on a fast food cashiers salary
>>130785150True!
>>130785205to be fair, property values in a nuclear bomb crater are probably pretty low

>>130785213The average price of a two-story home in New Mexico typically ranges from $350,000 to $550,000, depending heavily on the city. Across the state, the median home price for all properties sits at roughly $405,000, with two-story builds generally priced between $200 and $300+ per square foot.

>>130785220I reject your farcical narrativeyou are silly
>>130784981after the bitwig in the chain you need a high pass around 150, 1-2dB high shelf around 5k, and a low pass around 12k to get the tone you're looking for.
>>130784374The real high IQ move is to pick with your index nail

People that buy expensive instruments are either sponsored by that company and didn’t pay for it or are middling musicians who bought one because their favorite player was the former. Actual gigging musicians make very little money and if they do decent they have severe drug problems and don’t have any leftover to spend on nice things that would just get pawned or stolen anyway. It’s why you see really good players with entry level name brand instruments.
Can anyone recommend me some guitarists to listen to for inspiration? The past couple years i've been playing guitar i haven't really been bothered to do that, and just drilled learning music theory and trying to make my own stuff from scratch without any sort of influence, and its got me in a bit of a rut.

How are the current Chinese made Epiphones? I’m thinking about buying a Wilshire and normally don’t buy cheaper import guitars but with these it seems to be either $500 Chinese guitars then it jumps up to $3000+ Gibson Custom Shop guitars and vintage Epiphone examples up to like $6000.

I'm a few months in, and I'm hitting the point where I want to get some parts swapped out. But is soldering in new pickups so hard? It's a strat. I can even do it under my kitchen vent hood. And setup on a hardtail bridge seems super easy. I think I'd feel impotent if I didn't do this myself.
>>130786170I was just watching this a couple hours ago, put it down in my song inspiration because it really is a beautiful track
Stratocaster. End of.
>>130786325Learn to actually play before doing anything like that. You’re going to sound like shit, spend money and time swapping pickups, and still sound like shit. Just play your guitar. Use your tone knobs on your guitar and the knobs on your amp to tweak your sound if needed. Change how hard you pick or change the thickness or material of your picks to get a different sound. Don’t worry about the relatively minuscule differences in sound that pickups make when you’re not even good enough to take advantage of those differences. I’m not saying changing pickups isn’t beneficial, I’m saying there are tons of other easier things that are more beneficial to a beginner that should be explored before jumping to swapping pickups.

>>130787047very cool, whats the rightmost one? and how do you like its pickup configuration with the p-bass style pickup in the middle and bridge pickup?
>>130787107It's a Phoenix Electra westtone from the 80s. Very flexible tone, lots of different configurations and not hard to make it sound nice, though definitely not as plug n play as a p bass.

I've been using chat gpt to write me simple html files for drilling the notes of the fretboard. It plays a random note and shows the note name with a slider for speed of note changes.

Do you guys sometimes have days where you get hyperaware of your pick? Like today I couldn't stop focusing on this piece of plastic in my hand and it felt like I was holding it wrong even tho I wasn't holding it any differently and it completely fucked with my playing because my mind was on my right hand and not on my playing.
>>130787047Those Teiscos are great fun. Horrible to play, poor intonation/inharmonicity, but they weigh almost nothing and sit in a band mix amazingly well. I have one and my brother has two.

>>130788788Why would anyone buy 12s? Do you hate yourself?
>>130788991Sometimes when I can't get it to execute what I want, like fast 2 note per string shitSo I revert to 3 notes per string and hybrid picking like a retard compensating for my weak alternate picking.It's good to examine those tiny details every now and then and check if any minutiae in your playing is holding you back from getting you the sounds you want. Years back when I was into tapping I was always flicking inwards, but notice Guthrie was flicking outwards/away so I tried that and it helped a bit in getting tapping noises out in general. But I couldn't do Bucketheads chromatic 4 note tapping thing with that, so maybe inwards is the way to go with that particular lick.

Boss should switch to top jacks to make everyone buy them a second time
>>130785072Accurate. Electric guitarists that aren’t in bands are just the poorer version of luxury watch "people". This instrument is infested with people whose real passion is the idea of being a guitarist and having good taste in guitars. Blues lawyers all the way down. Protip: if you aren’t in a band and don’t have a solo project, and dont consider yourself a student with aspirations to do one of those, please switch instrumentsSaxophone, flute, bass, and piano/keyboard are very easy for adults to learn. Excellent jazz pianists have started as late as their 30s.
>>130789743>Saxophone, flute, bass, and piano/keyboardBut it's gonna be the exact same problem if you play those by yourself without a band or a project
>>130789757All of those are acceptable hobby instruments to play solo on. Electric guitar is genuinely inexcusable without being in a band. It sounds bad. Solo sax sounds beautiful on its own. Any “real” instrument will also get you in and out of larger bands with whole sections of them whenever you want. Electric guitar is for rock and there is typically no more than 2 guitarists.Playing electric without a band is like playing acoustic with neither a singing voice nor classical training. A waste of time, and a direct contradiction of the instruments purpose.
>>130785616Trey Azagthothhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8eYotLJvhwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ78QOluHe8
>>130789840A solo sax gets old fast, it's just one melodic line with nothing under it. Drone instruments like hurdy-gurdy or bagpipes actually hold up better solo since they've got that constant drone note running underneath, gives way more body than just melody alone. That said acoustic guitar + singing is probably the best overall solo combo, guitar can do rhythm, harmony and melody all at once so it just has way more going on than a single-line instrument ever could.
Recently bought a Bass VI to play as a bass for a family band and play as a guitar later down the road. I have zero prior experience. I think I need an audio interface and/or an amp. I'm looking at the Behringer UM2 vs the Behringer UMC22. If I just want this so I can actually practice at home in peace, why shouldn't I go with the UM2? I have so much other shit I think I need to buy like a stand, straps, an amp, and some flatwound strings.

Recently acquired this Aria for 200 clams and I am very happy with it. Been playing it for 3-4 hours a day since I acquired it. Ive started playing guitar a year ago and now that I am getting into classical/Spanish music I am realizing that I am in the absolute abyss of the Dunning Kruger Effect. Gonna slowly start to learn how to read actual music because I only know tabs. Been practicing Classical for Guitar by Jerry Snyder and it has some very nice tunes, will have to play some of them for my family this weekend.
>>130790328Is the Aria a Japanese made model? Looks to be in very good condition.

>>130785905FWIW a couple years ago I bought a few chinese guitars, two of which are epiphones and my experience has been very good with them, however, the prices have increased dramatically to the point I'd prob just save up for a proper gib. I'm willing to spend up to $1kish on an epi, but beyond that its too much imo. I think both my epi LP modern and my epi Sheraton II pro were around that mark and they have both been super stable tuning-wise and great workhorse guitars, however, I have changed pups as those are always the weak point imo unless you are just playing super high gain metal stuff
>>130790782What's the point of coated strings if the coating wears off, especially over the pickup area where you're picking?
>>130785905current epis are very fucking good and have been since 2020 when they restructured to be closer to gibsons.the IGC line literally uses identical pickups to gibsons now.
>>130790782>NYXLhmmm nyo im buying more rotosound 66s
Cheaper alternative to a Gibson Songwriter recording artist? I really love the way it sounds but $5k is fucking rough though I suppose I could negotiate with a Sweetwater rep
>>130791306ATP one would be better off getting a firefly or even a leo jaymez for 240$ and dressing the frets and swapping in better electronics and a better nut yourself. My old epi custom re-issue would be 950$ today with the current pricing scheme, I got it for 349$ new despite having a completely unique build and wiring/pup configuration.

I've got a schecter damien FRS that has a terrible neck. but my Chinese epi's and yamaha LS-TA I have are fucking flawless... the Chinese have seriously improved their production standards so much that I'd not consider anything else unless I laid fingers on it at a guitar center and it was perfect. I used to give a shit about keeping my guitars Made In USA, but my yamaha LS-TA broke me of that... and I used to have a Martin D41 as well as a Taylor limited 712ce in Hawaiian koa and Western Red Cedar, so that is saying a lot. My chinese yammy smokes both of those in everything but volume but I plan on getting a dread or jumbo L-series one of these days and I'm going straight for the made in China 16's, not the handmade stuff

>>130791924>Heroes, Rebel Rebel, Fame etc, all very simple stuff. sweep picking neck tattoo harmonics instagram riffs put me to sleepI've listened to a lot of his stuff and I really think it was his vocals which carried a lot of his songs, such a unique voice full of character.Not to say those songs are bad but they are quite simple.Look at 'Man Who Sold the World' it's incredibly simple, there isn't a ton of texture but the right use of effects and emotive vocals make it a great song.

>>130793540That nigga is cracked on guitar
>>130792041>>130791744Update 2: the preprogrammed EQ was set to cut off any frequencies above basic fucking thresholds to try to eliminate unwanted feedback. Sloppy shit programming for your advertised signature tones to not even work out of the box when that's a big part of the gimmick. If you don't use their Chinesium app half the features on the guitar won't work.

Dead straight neck, no buzzy frets, nice low action, sounds fine plugged in, and after fucking with the gay app the "smart" functionality seems fine. Being made of carbon fiber its basically immune from weather entirely. Can guarantee it won't age well being made of fucking plastic including the fretboard, but I'm happy with it for what it is now.

>>130793986more like Surfdisaster
>>130793986tfw anon had a rad surfcaster and sold it
>>130793540Same concept as the 12th fret open note harmonics, he knows where the invisible octave/12 fret on what note he is playing and uses his index to tap it>>130793828Is the neck and body really made out of carbon fiber? I saw one of those enya carbon fiber with on board electronic thingies a year back, just black and not affiliated with Jack Thamarat and iirc the neck had a big bow. It was just on a wall in a store.___________https://voca.ro/1dM3PRKzkOtEhttps://youtu.be/2bspwxp6Rng?list=PLUPrhk16NXbjg1vfMjfEaNOnKgn878A-d
>>130794151Bro carbon fiber shit is just sheets of carbon fiber cloth with resin gluing them together. It's mostly just plastic resin.
I jist tried outna jaguar and a jazzmastwr and a stratocastetvat my local shop and the jaguar felt the best. Am i just a small finfered bitch?
>>130794499No, but you might want to get your ears checked. Losing some high and low end from the headphones too loud, there bud.
>>130794151>Is the neck and body really made out of carbon fiber?Yes, but I'd wager its probably a fairly low percentage of carbon and mostly resin. I saw a dude torture test one going from a freezer for a day directly into the sun after and it just needed a slight adjustment to the truss rod.
im relistening to heavier things right now and i know we all love continuum, but the guitar work here was fantastic as well. poppy but fantastic.
>>130794243I see, now Aristides comes to mind with their moulds and hollow guitars. I was thinking of those sleek and light frames on expensive bicycles that seemed metallic to me.>>130794637That's cool. You mentioned the high E had terrible sustain? Do you think it's fixable with better fretwork or did it seem like the guitar's inherent acoustic property, like its dead/resonant note or being hollowed out on some of the body. My strat with a blocked hard tail rings louder than my solidbody superstrat with FR but the latter has way more sustain once amplified (hotter pickups helped as well ofc). What I'm curious is that do you think it has some bones of being a great guitar once it's modded up and shieet (pickup swap/refret, etc)
>>130794653Share your story with us.
>>130793894where teh fuck did you get an offset tele with p90 pickups? mod shop don't do that.
>>1307947532019 Fender Japan Limited Edition
>>130793933Try and see if there are any pedals that can do an equal function to another pedal, then choose the pedal that does more. For Example:<GE-7/BP-1w<Metal Muff/Other Muffs, Metal ZOne<XS-100/Blue Box<OS-2/DS-1<Tube Screamer Deluxe/BD-2<FZ-2/Superfuzz<CF-7/Nano Clone<SY-200/SY-1The GX-100 should be able to cover most BOSS drive pedals in the pile too.The RE-202 & GX-100 are also pretty good for any Delays & Reverbs. Maybe sell the DD-8 & Rainbow Machine for a secondhand Eventide H9 Max (gen 1)Also if you'd like to, try making a mini row of the really small pedals just for use as embellishments during a solo, etc. (like the EP Booster & Phase 95)
>>130786325As long as they're noiseless, it's a-go-go. I'd recommend a Gilmour switch too (a.k.a. the killer switch- of Teles)
>>130794733>You mentioned the high E had terrible sustain?No no, it actually has great sustain, the problem was entirely the software. The threshold dial sets when the onboard amp/speaker cuts off to try to mitigate unwanted feedback. It was set too low by default so despite the string still vibrating the sound just cuts off. It took a little bit to find the sweet spot but now it's fine. And if you plug it in none of that shit matters.Could it ever be a great guitar? I dunno, it seems pretty good so far but having a resin fretboard makes me question the longevity compared to wood. I also have no idea what the wiring is like to swap out pickups which is part of why I went with the JT model for the better humbuckers.I think it's great for what it is and for what I paid, which was $338.

I wonder if theyll have a different version as a basic carvbon fiber electric without the other extraneous electronic doodads so it could get cheaper as well.Thanks for the info m8, lemme know how it holds up over time (warping/stability, electronics crapping out, hardware quick to wear)Cheers
>>130794832Ive been trying different configurations all night. I think I'm getting really close to optimizing this shit. Right now I'm considering switching the DD8 for the grand canyon because i like the looper on the grand canyon (it's 16 min long) But I like the utility of the DD8 more for delays cause the switch is easier to tap tempo and it's simpler to set up. If im playing live and something gets switched on the canyon i could be in trouble. I could also ditch the chorus factory, to add the grand canyon, or, what is more likely, I might switch the chorus factory for another distortion, maybe the metal zone or fz2 or keeley darkside or one of the muffs. I kind of want a good metal sound but im gonna try the darkside first rn because that covers multiple things like you were saying. Thanks for the serious answer also and thanks everyone else for the other answers.

Even the chinese ones are incredible.
I did a whole lot of soul searching and this is it.

>>130795471Organize those wires
hate that acoustics look beautiful but have an uninteresting sound and electrics look awful but sound amazing (sometimes)seriously how can you guys salivate over a stratocaster or a telecaster, they look like toys, especially when they are painted in bright colors
>>130795545yeah i gotta figure out that part and the velcro. I think probably since i dont have to go anywhere ill just leave it like it is for a week incase i decide to change it but i'm pretty certain this is it
>>130795471Uh, the space echo?
>>130795017This thing
>>130795627I know. I fucking love that thing and been using it for years. that's what i mean when i had to soul search. Like the echo is cool but it's big. By putting the grand canyon in it's place, i gain more types of delays, but also gain a looper taht i really love, it's 16 minutes and has a knob that fades out your overdubs. And having the re-202 off the board means i can use it on my other gear too, that's anther plus. I really only need the 4 boss pedals and the wah to archive regular guitar stuff, so the pigtronix pedals, looper and modulation side of the darkside all are there for basically like a desert island version of my bigger set up. Part of me thinks i would benefit from trading the canyon for the space echo, because the echo has those presets, but the utility of the looper is too seductive. I can always make the signal chain modular when im at home and add off of this board anyway.
>>130795740guitar shapes sure are getting weird these days
>>130795627YOu know what I changed my mind kinda. Im gonna use the Amnesis Echo as a replace ment and take out the Resotron.
>>130795793wait i rearranged it i think i can fit the re 202
>>130795466I thought about buying a fs800 or a fs3, but I'm pretty sure the fs800 is good enough. The only important noticable thing in sound is having a solid top, after that it's kind pointless to pay more... and like that anon said it makes me think of watch collectors, bibliomanes etc
nice room anon has the best rig and best dirt tone in all of /gg/, but you guys arent ready for that conversation yet.

>>130795918I don't think the F series has ARE (torrification) aging iirc. When I bought my LS-TA, I literally tried every acoustic in the store, cheap and expensive... I had actually intended on getting a super cheap yammy, like under $500. But the SOUND of the LS-TA left me scratching my head, and I couldn't believe it sounded better than the Martins/Taylors that were 3x the price and the common denominator became the ARE. None of the other guitars at that guitar center had it... it was the only one in the store at the time that did. And the cheaper yamaha's didn't compare either.So for me, its solid top/back/sides + ARE. IF the guitar doesn't have those things, its just not gonna sound anywere near as good. The added selling point of the ARE for me also is that I'm in a bunch of random weird climates with unpredictable humidity... and the ARE makes the guitar far more stable, and this is true. I've had my martin/taylor/guild/taka w/me and they are dogshit on the road, constantly needing to be tuned. I kept this thing in its hardshell case for over a month and it stays in tune. I used to also have a cheaper laminate martin, one of those black X-series and it straight up fell apart bc of the humidity. My takamine went RIP bc it fell off top bunk... one of the braces inside came off. The guild had a nasty gash on it when I bought it, which only worsened on the road. I eventualy sold martin/taylor after I'd had the yammy long enough to trust the Chinese build... its been stable as a rock. I just don't think a none ARE guitar will do that

I'm building some guitar pedals, what are the nicest switches I can get for barefoot use? I figure I'll get some of those button covers to make them a little more comfortable.

>>130784921too many pedalboards with no rat.
anon who bought the cort b5 element bass here, i like it and it feels great to play but i kind of regret not splurging a bit more for something like an ibanez BTB bass for the better electronics, or something with a real passive/active switch instead of just eq bypass. ive been playing with the EQ on my amp and it sounds pretty good now and not as honky as it was. i think the natural bright sound of the bass leads to more dissonance than i'd like, and it lowers the clarity of each note so differentiating C# on the A string from the open D string can be a bit unclear for example. probably gonna keep it for a few years though while i get used to a 5 string bass.
