Thinking of placing my strap buttons on the back like so: would I regret it?
Aaron Howard
100% yes. It's already terrible on SGs, this would be a million times worse. I would go for the top horn on the left, and the middle right, just like a tele.
I know you have an indent in the middle right, but surely there's room?
Caleb Barnes
There would be room, I just already have the standard button placement on all my other guitars, ppl don't like the sg placement? I didn't know lol
Chase Garcia
Lol. Not sure why you need the strap button placement to be unique from your other guitars, I'd just use whatever feels best.
Yeah a lot of people don't like the sg button placement, but there's no other place to put it on there.
Elijah Lee
I dunno, I do like to wear my guitars super high into dweeb territory, I thought it might work better for that, at least by the neck

Austin Gomez
One of my guitars pickup selector is loose as hell. I've opened it up but can't find anything visible that I can tighten. To change pickups I have to move the metal slot with my finger and it gets annoying. It's not my main guitar so I don't want to waste money and take it in.
Liam Carter
I forgot to ask the question, wat do?
Ian King
yeah tele's are comfy af with their strap placement I would just do that
Leo Taylor
I wanted to give some other people a chance to reply first. Y'know, I think it would be kinda gay to say, my IQ is 140, so I'm right about guitars. But I'm more cutious about /gg/ in general. Eh, maybe don't post your favorite brand at all. It'll just start flaming.
Samuel Ross
Replace the switch.
Owen Martin
Gibson

Rock n' roll. SX. Some of these puzzles were pretty gay though. It seems weird to have red herrings in an IQ test.

retarded idea by the way

Dual Showman guy here once again to ask advice
Something in the amp is running HOT AS FUCK. Backcorner behind the "on" light gets hot when I push the amp, and the on switch gets hot to the touch. Is something getting ready to blow up?
don't buy old tube amps guys
Elijah Nelson
tube amp?
Luke Morgan
never mind ... slightly drunk.
tubes get hot, that's what they do.
you could open it up and see if anything looks out of the ordinary. take pics of the board / boards and post em. just be sure not to touch caps
James Jackson
ol boy

>/gg/ - Synth edition I don't even use these generals, I just want to say that that amuses me more than it should
Colton Brooks
Just got one of these in a trade, you ain't heard loud till you've heard 1200 watts (@2ohms) loud, can't even go past 4 on an 8ohm cab there's so much headroom. Pretty sick head, has a fantastic built in dual-band comp and a fair sounding tube driven preamp/overdrive. Prob gonna have to upgrade my cabs to something that can take some more power. Considering going for either the GK Neo 4x10 or 4x12 depending which i can find for a good price. Also planning on swapping the the 15's in my Peavey 2x15 with Eminence Kappa Pro 15A's to make it 1000 watts @4ohms.
Camden Johnson
jesus fuck just looked this amp up. what was fender thinking with this rats nest?
looks to me like the heat would be coming from your power tubes. 4 6L6 tubes will get hot as fuck. probably also loud as fuck also. don't worry unless something doesn't sound right
Jayden Sanchez
oh man, 60s? how she sound?
can't go wrong with Gibson
Isaac Murphy
cbs fender was pretty horrendous with electronics in general, yeah. It's earth-shatteringly loud, but this heat doesn't seem like normal tube heat; almost burned myself on the power switch. First time w/6L6s tho so it could be. The smell COULD just be paint on the new Sovteks in it, but it seems like it's coming from inside the amp.
I just hope if it decides to go up in flames it happens at a bar/"real" venue rather than a basement show or some shit
Isaac White
Fender Showman? More like Fender Bugera lmaoooo get it
get it
Chase James
When you got the tubes changed did you have a tech rebias the amp for 6L6's? could be running a hotter bias than recommended if thats the case.
Kayden Green
tech changed the tubes so I'm assuming he rebiased it as well... Hopefully he just did that wrong and it's not my OT getting ready to blow up. Got a show this weekend so hopefully I can make it through that without incident. After that I'll shop around for another tech and get it looked over... again.
fuck tube amps
Tyler Bailey
your guitar will probably just want to tilt away from you
David Murphy
Gibson is my favorite.
Kayden Lee
H-how...?
Eli Edwards
I just picked the answers I thought were the best. I haven't checked the other scores. It's out of 100, right? I thought I did pretty well.
Ryder Taylor
>this is your average Gibson owner (I know it's bait/fake, but still applies)
David Howard
Wait, are you trying to troll me? How did these other people do better than 100? I don't speak Dutch, did I do the test wrong?
Zachary Gutierrez
I got bored half way through and just answered B for every answer after that.
Lincoln James
...oh fuck, I'm retarded.
Angel Gray
Uhh tube amps are not the issue here dude. Take that shit in for a 2nd opinion before the show. Like, morning-of if need be. The kind of heat you're describing is not normal at all.
Camden King
It may be possible to make playing guitar like an island separate from depression. A place without intellect or feeling, nothing but sound and fingers on strings. I found that building a fake refuge like that (because we know there's really no escape) helped me beat out a short path between my ears and my hands that sorta bypassed the weird ingrown mess that depression made of the rest. The disease feeds by taking control of your attention - leverage that.
Gavin Martinez
Can I get a good tone out of micro terror and a line 6 spider iv 75 watt amp? Im curious. What do you think. Thinking about purchasing the micro.
Adam White
Never heard a micro terror in person but the micro dark is very workable. Why the line 6? IMO an investment in a speaker cabinet would take you further. Playing a 2x12 with quality speakers of a voicing that suits your tastes feels great.
I'm looking for a semi hollowbody that doesnt look like a country guitar that is pre 1000 euros. I like Gretsch guitars but I dislike the standard guitars. I like to be a special little hipster snowflake. Any ideas? I like guitars that do something special.
Gavin Rodriguez
Something like this?
Jeremiah Watson
Just try real hard
Owen Jenkins
For example yes. But I need more options. Any idea about a webpage that specialises in hollowbodies?
John Brown
epiphone noel gallagher
Connor Gutierrez
More options than 3 pickups with individual on/off switches?
Jason Davis
No signatures. I really prefer weird one off guitars that companies stopped producing because they didn't sell but are actually really great guitars.
Jonathan Garcia
Nice
Generic desu
Nathaniel Rodriguez
More options as in more guitars
Benjamin Phillips
i thought it was fun desu

>buy new fender tele >playing with the strings on it >debating swapping them billy gibbons 7 gauge strings >decide they're light enough >can't tell if they're 8 or 9 gauge, guessing 9 >look up on fenders website >they're 10 gauge
why are they so much lower tension than my other 10's ( eb slinky and whatever else is cheap)?
also goddamn does that tele feel good to play. seriously usually my hands start to hurt after 45 mins of practice but i just played for 2 hours and my hands feel better than before. goddamn
i have another tele and it wasn't this good. i think i found my perfect guitar guys. this shit is PERFECT

Aiden Campbell
>Generic It was another user's riff from several months ago. I made it into a backing track for other anons to solo over. Sometimes you just want to rip a big fat generic rock solo
>seriously usually my hands start to hurt after 45 mins What kind of necks do you usually use?
Jason Mitchell
>7s exist for what purpose
Brody Carter
one is a mexican tele with ernie ball slinky 10's
have a strat with the same strings
i mostly practice on my acoustic though, has 13s on it atm and it kills me. obviously that would make it hurt more. and that neck is chunky af too
honestly i just overtrained for a long period and developed some pain in my fretting hand. i used to practice like 5+ hours a day but that was years ago now
i'm just fucking stoked i can play this with no pain whatsoever
idk i haven't tried them yet, they were $4 bucks and interested me. idk what to put them on though
Dylan Morgan
Just to say "fuck it" and uptune your guitar.
Dominic Jenkins
God damn I want a Fireman, and you can get the pleb version (FRM 100) for like 500 used.
Matthew Smith
No one is stopping you, if you really want it you should go for it. I'm currently GASing for a special edition 60's strat. There is only one left and they keep lowering the price, really hope they still have it in a week when I have the money.
Julian Cox
My budget is stopping me. I need a new pc for work and a full leather suit for motorbike riding so I don't lose my skin is a priority. Just can't justify dropping money on it right now, and I should start saving up for a house down payment as well... GL with that strat, looks really nice.
Eli Myers
128 I like whatever feels, sounds and looks good. Brands carry no meaning.
Around the halfway mark shit started to get silly. No fucking logic behind those patterns at all, as far as I could see.
Jaxson Hall
I feel like I am in a slump with guitar. I have been playing for a year, but now i just don't feel like it. All the songs I play are generic buttrock, metal or pop songs. Can someone recommend easy-intermediate guitar songs for electric? Genre doesn't matter.
Kayden Gutierrez
So what potential future purchases are you looking at /gg/?
Really tempted to get one of these but I know I don't need it and they're horrendously expensive.
Brody Gomez

Grayson Torres
lol
god there are so many faggots that call themselves 'amp techs' and play mr. wizard with your shit
theres one 'amp tech' in my state (vermont) and I've had him work on 3 amps and hes fucked all three of them up in some fashion
I don't have any place to take amps for repair after dealing with that retard
is that wiring from the factory or from the amp tech?
if its factory thats pretty normal but if you had a tech redo it that is some really shit sloppy work
probably something fucked with the OT if theres heat going into the lightbulb, the OT runs right into that first thing.
Andrew Gonzalez
See Also trying to decide between a blues junior and the 15 watt bassbreaker combo. Then maybe a TC electronic spark, seems like a good booster.
Brandon Evans
All music is derivative. Your options now are to go into metal's technical complexity or jazz's theoretical complexity.
Bentley Bell
what do you mean 'first time with 6l6s'
?
the OT goes right into the light bulb and then the heater wires go off that to the tubes
if he just changed the tubes and rebiased he fucked the rebiasing up...but that would make the tubes run hotter than normal and the heat would be observed near them, around the back of the amp, heat going into the area around the lightbulb sounds a lot more serious and it doesn't seem to reason that that area would heat up from a poor rebias job
Guys, is that hard to play with a 7.25'' radius neck?
A friend is telling me i waste my money if i get this 7.25 guitar because it's very hard to play (bending and things).
I have a 9.5'' radius guitar now, i tried them both and 7.25 is not that bad.
They're both jazzmasters.
P.S. i'm not so bad at guitar.
Elijah Smith
Just... what are your thoughts on 7.25? Simply just that.
Colton Howard
google has a bunch
Juan Powell
What about this?
Parker Reed
...
Elijah Clark
You can't just take in account the radius, there's the neck profile too and how you play, try them, you'll regret buying any of them without having tried the other.
That's sleek, they should re-issue that.
Cooper Edwards
I constantly read that 7.25 radius guitars suck and they are hard to play and then I bought one and found it to be the opposite of reality and wonder why its not more popular
to me it feels more comfortable, control over vibrato is improved a lot over flatter radius as is bending. I do not start to fret out bending notes with a 7.25 either unless going over 3 semi tones.
A lot of 7.25 guitars have slightly wider string spacing too which is often touted as being harder to play than more modern spacing but this is another thing I found to be pretty much the opposite of intuition and its often easier to play on wider spacing for some stuff like arpeggio type playing with complex chords that incorporate open strings and travis picking. I do not have large hands.
Grayson Morgan
>Threadly reminder that pointy guitars are for fags.
Also, can I get a recommendation for a decent wah pedal? They look fun and I've got some cash to burn.

Ignore the floating head
It's a group chat not a person
Jacob Price
Never heard of it, though the logo trying to look like Martin's is a red flag for me, so I'd investigate further. Anyways be sure do you're own research in addition to asking here.
Colton Morgan
These used to be made by Martin as a cheaper alternative but it got sold to some other company to let it be it's own thing but the reviews said its good, just wanna check if anyone here has any first hand experience
