They might feel a bit heavy if you're coming from lighter roundwound sets. There's always the JS111 set but the bass strings feel kind of light. I would just get your guitar setup for the 13s desu.
Henry Lopez
Just be another faggot and buy Elixir if you want something that sounds dead and is easier to slide your fingers around.

This. Only shitty try-hard jazz retards use flatwound strings like there isn't a tone knob on your guitar and amp

American Fenders: made in American by unskilled illegal Mexican immigrate labor >Mexican Fenders: made in Mexico by unskilled Mexican labor
Lets discuss the Fender problem /gg/. I guess this is a touchy subject seeing how the last few threads were deleted because of this discussion.
Cameron Cruz
Damn I missed a meme arrow
Thomas Taylor
From what I've heard the Mexican Fenders are made from wood cut in America, then all parts are sent to a factory in Mexico (like 90 miles south of the border) to be assembled, then come back here for sale.
If that is true, then why not pay the price for a Mexican Fender, and upgrade the electronics/pickups to get an American sound, but at a much cheaper price?
Joseph Williams
Because mexican fenders look and feel like trash, they're cheap guitars that will never compare to an American one no matter how much you change it.
Source: I have an American Stratocaster and a Mexican one. The mexican one is nowhere near as good.
Joshua Russell
The original Pre-CBS Fenders were built by "Unskilled Mexican Labor" mostly women. There is no Fender Problem, they're as good as they always have been (even better than what they put out in the 70s/80s)
Adrian Wright
Depends on the Model. I would take a high end MIM over a low end MIA any day.
They're even putting them out with Nitro Finishes and US pickups now.
Hunter Brown
>Gibson rises above the crowd ...I guess you're stupid?
Blake Bell
which ones brehs
is 1 or 4 gauge difference something you can actually even feel or hear? left is 10-46, right is 11-50
i do play metal but rarely use drop tuning
Caleb Fisher
Sorry bud....
Jason Evans
>I have an American Stratocaster and a Mexican one
Wow, one of each? That's definitely a comprehensive analysis.
Charles Diaz
>There is no Fender Problem yeah ok then >be me >go to buy higher end gretsch >all made in japan now >no made in america models at all >unless you want to buy a fender Custom shop model for $$$$$
Nathaniel King
>i do play metal but rarely use drop tuning
Ryder Cox
You will probably feel the difference, tone-wise it's a little different not too much. I would go for the heavier pack because I like a little resistance form the strings. You may or may not need to adjust your truss rod depending on what gauge you have on now.
Jordan Brooks
Try one set, when the strings die try the other set. When those strings die by the set you preferred.
To answer directly though, yes. If you're in the same tuning the heavier gauge strings will feel stiffer.
Andrew Stewart
Have you ever played a Baldwin era Gretsch? The Japanese Gretsch's shit all over them. The terada factory makes some of the nicest guitars in the world.
They have limited factory space dude, they're at least keeping the brand alive when it should have gone under a long time ago.
Jeremiah Evans
MiJ stuff is top-tier though?
Asher Edwards
>you have a choice >imported chinese garbage or imported nip garbage yea its called the fender problem
Michael Ward
No, it's called the you're poor and racist problem.
Isaac Morris
in the $3500 range I could have a luthier custom build a guitar. not sure why anyone would waste money on a japanese guitar at that price point
Ian Jones
lol, that's not even me dude.
Fuck, I've obviously done one hell of a number on your head.
Andrew Sullivan
You have the misconception that Japanese =Cheap Quality. The Terada factory is the same factory that makes the really high end D'Aquistos, D'Angelico, Sadowskys etc.. They're know for their archtops.
Good luck finding a luthier that will build you a decked out Gretsch style Archtop for $3500.You can usually buy them for way less than that btw
Oliver Reed
>Fender problem
Fenders are as good as they've ever been currently. In the 2000's I refused to buy one because the quality of most American Fenders were absolute shit; but starting around 2010 the quality has gone up significantly so in 2014 I bought my first American Standard Strat and refuse to use any other guitar.
Gibsons are overpriced trash
Jacob Young
>The Terada factory is the same factory that makes the really high end American knockoffs ftfy
Andrew Rodriguez
It does seem like the QC for Fender has drastically improved. I will note that some of their subsidiary companies like Jackson, Squier, and Charvel were making some pretty decent instruments a decade or so ago. I recently acquired a 2014 Fender MIM Strat and it's lovely to play. Probably going to replace the stock electronics with a set of SD Antiquity Texas Hot pickups.
Jack Kelly
All new Fenders are double the price they should be just because they have the word Fender written on the headstock. That goes for American, Mexican, and Japanese models. You can easily find a better value in other brands that are equal in quality.
Leo Collins
lol you retards all electric guitars are the same fucking shit
it's a hunk of wood with caveman-era electronics that an EE student could slap together in a garage
Jacob Powell
People only buy Japanese guitars when they can't afford the American equivalent. They're just cheaper alternatives to the guitars they really want. America>Japan/Mexico>Korea>China

I enjoy some of his works, but I've never listened to anything of his that has blown me away. Variety is the spice of life and he seems very stuck in his ways. He's stuck in the nucleous of 80's rock/metal.

Been playing on my 40 bux guitarr since jan-feb
>Think its crap >doesnt sound that good >afriad to waste money on better guitarr because it wont sound much different, its just my bad skills >went to a place today that had some music room >he a landola made in finland >its much wider neck than my practice guitarr so can't play as good >But holy shit that sound, I was a bit supised I could play such beautiful music
Do i have to buy a guitarr for over 500 bux to get that luxary sound or will a g40 give you a good quality sound
Leo Johnson
Is it normal for the high strings to buzz slightly on an electric? I currently got .10s on it, but I would change the gauge for higher tension if that could fix it. It irks me to no end when playing chords.
Wyatt White
What's wrong with the bridge?

Someone please post anime guitar
Matthew Gray
Just put some decent strings on it. You probably prefer thinner instruments based on what you said. Look for a lightweight guitar that's cheap some time in the future. But your guitar can sound good, lots of people prefer the full, bassy sound of thick acoustics.
Caleb Cooper
Just search guitar in gelbooru you lazy sack of shit
Eli Cooper
But I want /gg/ to be shit forever to give me incentive to stop coming here, so it needs to be posted in every thread.

Also I searched it and it didn't come up
Benjamin Kelly
When you tune a guitarr using app to you place the phone on the guitar or on a table away from the guitar. maybe it doesnt matter where u place the phone but i need to ask to be sure
Jeremiah Myers
it don't matter, but get a headstock tuner (recommending snark)
Josiah Young
ok then
Anthony Myers
Hey guys, I've had this guitar for a couple of years and I have no idea what brand it is. Can anyone please identify the logo?

Show a pic of the whole guitar . That might be 1980's Korean made.

You played pretty solid, I don't think anyone can fault you for those minor hang ups. Definitely good enough that it was enjoyable to listen to. You should put more effort into your singing though, it takes as much practice as guitar.
