Dude, many satin finishes end up like this anyways. Get a huge ass pickguard and be done with it or better, just call it mojo and stop giving a fuck about something that doesn't affect your instrument's quality.

Friendly reminder: the kiddies who post in /gg/ threads have nearly ***zero*** experience concerning guitar. Playing, repair, new player recommendations, etc. The average age in these threads is around early 20s: green as shit grass.
If you have an actual question this is probably one of the most uninformed & least knowledgeable places you could ever expect a proper answer to come from.
Be weary of any advice given here as it's amateur & perfunctory at best.
Have a nice day.
Parker Morales
Also, friendly side note:
Anyone posting their gear here has made a decision (either consciously or unconsciously) that playing guitar is nothing more than a meaningless hobby, something along the lines of stamp or coin collecting. Their uninformed opinions and amateur advice are firmly rooted in this unserious mindset, music being secondary to the compulsion to accumulate and publicly display their "enviable" possessions.
Sup Forums is considered poison by most mature adults and is rightly shunned publicly for its immature, juvenile, and sometimes vile content. Lorde and the bassist from DIIV immediately spring to mind, both being heavily criticized for posting on Sup Forums and for their seeming willingness to be connected publicly to Sup Forums. No one with any real goals or aspirations would risk being contaminated with an association to this website, thus no serious musician would chance being recognized by posting their gear here. The only people who would be willing to subject themselves to this possibility would be the kind of hopeless, self-defeating troglodytes that routinely post on Sup Forums because they know they don't have any other options and nothing better (or more important) to do with their time. If you're posting on this site then you should be very familiar and thoroughly acquainted with this standard model Sup Forums user. There's no deliberate or pragmatic pursuit of knowledge or skill in these threads, just inane, unending circle jerking around gear, attention whoring, and fishing for replies.
For example: Aussiefag has been here for well over two years accomplishing absolutely nothing except for *getting some attention for himself*. The sad truth is that he has nothing else, this is his legacy: replying to other losers in /gg/ threads because his life is obviously devoid of any other social interaction.
If your goal is to wind up like this then posting gear here ad nauseum and avoiding actual musical discussion is definitely a good place to start.
I'm all confused about Fuzz Face transistors /gg/: Silicon, Germanium, Matched, Unmatched, NOS… the list goes on and on… Can someone help a guitarbro out?
Ian Lopez
Yeah, you plug your guitar into the fuzz you want to evaluate and play it. Then decide for yourself if you like how it sounds or not.
This is such a stupid fucking question. You're actually asking for "rules to go by" when buying gear online that you've never tried. Ok, here's you're answer: move out of the middle of buttfuck nowhere if playing guitar is something you want to seriously pursue and this will be less of a problem. That or get a part time job so you can afford the return shipping on fuzz pedals you want to try out.
Aaron Scott
Germanium is affected by temperature. So, I kinda like digital versions of it, since they always sound like a fuzz face on its best day. Particularly, I think the FZ-5 sounds better than the real thing.
Hudson Campbell
Long and mcquade has had my guitar for 5 days now to setup.
I get that they gave hundreds to go through, but goddammit this sucks
Aaron Walker
I love old gibson acoustics but any one from that era with the adjustable bridge like yours is pretty shit.
Landon Lopez
Yeah, dude, listen to this moron .
I'm sure he's tried out and owned many germanium fuzz pedals and speaks from a wealth of experience. That's why he makes a point of mentioning "germanium is affected by temperature" and then goes on to suggest a Boss modeling pedal, because he definitely knows what he's talking about.
Juan Wood
I don't understand how in the hell I'm not able to figure out strum patterns for acoustic guitar. I can change from chord to chord easily and remember a ton of them, but my right hand is giving me trouble. There's probably something that I'm doing wrong. Anyone got any videos or tips or something?
Luis Gomez
lol, you get what you pay for.
Julian Robinson
I wanna start posting all the scratches/cracks in my finishes just to trigger you people
Lincoln Harris
Alright I'll walk you through the best way to get through this.
I'll expect a response to each of the following questions, that way I can assist you properly. I'm going to seriously start simple so we can get through your issue.
#1.Your thumb. Do you have one?
Josiah Kelly
Awnry little guy, ain't ya?
Hunter Mitchell
>implying I'm wrong
Jordan Powell
so how do you guys order your distortion pedals in your chain? do you ever gain stack them together?
Ian Rivera
Hey can anyone here play stairway to heaven? On the first bar how do you play the 4th note?
Jonathan Thompson
you might be gripping your pick too hard, you might be tensing something up on your arm/wrist and screwing it up, and/or you might be strumming the strings at a weird angle
just sit in front of a tv, mute the strings with your left hand, and just practice the strumming motion trying to make it fluid. the feeling should mostly be coming from your wrist and your arm. the higher you hold the guitar on your body, the more likely you will be strumming with your arm, it's just natural to do that. so be aware of that. the feeling should NOT be coming from your shoulder area.
Jaxson Wood

Should I buy a Fender Standard P Bass or an Ibanez SR500
Benjamin Taylor

Eli Johnson
Try to get good at chords, qhats some beginning songs i should play? Any genre
Dylan Anderson
I sure do, before, after, every which way. The most convenient to not accidentally drive something way too hard is to simply run your distortions in order from mildest to most extreme. Messing with this is fun, though. There's plenty of overdrives you can treat sorta like an amp. Chorus, fuzz, whatever, it'll take it all.
Caleb Lopez
i kind of have them mixed up. it goes guitar-fuzz-overdrive-distortion-amp
for some reason i just like stacking the fuzz and overdrive together in that order, the other way around and it gets too uncontrollable. it gives this nice fuzzy undertone to the overdrive. the distortion i just use by itself because it doesn't really need a boost.
Alexander Mitchell
No, we can't.
Eli Phillips
You should try to get into a guitar store and try both, or at least things that are very similar. Personally, I've never found a P Bass that I've enjoyed playing and I like having 24 frets, so I would pick up the Ibanez, but you might have a different opinion.
If you absolutely can't get into a store, the Ibanez would probably be able to make a more wide range of sounds, especially because a P Bass really only can make one sound.
Caleb Ortiz
hallelujah

Hi froosh, did your mom gave you permission to use the internet?
Carson Jackson
It's an RG420wk. It came out earlier in the year at the NAMM show. It came from the factory with that glossy spot on it and Ibanez wouldn't take it back.
Asher Peterson
stop posting my shit dude
Juan Morales
Shoulda bitched more. I would've. At least get like a free shirt or something out the deal. Especially if you registered it to Ibanez and it's under warranty.
Brody Taylor
My buddy's project V is coming along very nicely. He just got it back yesterday from an autoshop that he paid to clear coat it. Said he was up until 2:30 AM last night throwing parts at it and wiring in the electronics. He sent me a picture this morning, looks stellar, very much inspired by Albert King's 'Lucy' V. All it needs now is a set of strings and a good setup. I'll have the final pictures by the end of the weekend, stoked.
Easton Young
Ibanez doesn't cover "cracking or other damage to the finish". Gear Tree refused to take it back because Ibanez told them they wouldn't accept it.
Jordan Baker
Why is the Boss Metal Zone so divisive? I use a Big Muff Pi and a DS-1 so I never used one before.

John Flores
anyone feeling like playing a solo to this shitty tune of mine? i'm curious about the outcome so here it goes if anyone's interested :
It has been a hell of a process, several fuck ups, redos, and short cuts along the way. First time he tried clear coating it was in his backyard with some cheap spray on shit (pic related). It didn't settle well at all and thinned out in a couple of spots so he ended up paying an autoshop $250 to do it. The binding is a bit over sanded in a couple of spots, took about 3 tries to get the pickguard (cut from solid wood) and input jack plate (also wood) sized properly. Milling the body for binding surprisingly worked perfectly first try but getting the binding to settle properly on the guitar was a bit of an exercise. All of that being said it has been a damn good learning experience and besides a few minor blemishes here and there it's going to be a very unique and high quality guitar when it's finished.
Jeremiah White
I used to have trouble with them when I was less experienced, to the point where I needed somebody to break the strum pattern for me to get it. Eventually when you play enough you'll just start getting it on your own.
Ethan Watson
Whats happening here?
Brayden Sanchez
>so he ended up paying an autoshop $250 to do it >$250 for a polyurethane clear coat This combined with that neck joint + headstock = grade A fucking moron.
Oliver Lewis
Probably because it's useless without a great amp, which is to say it does very little for you overall... Maybe the same can be said for any pedal, but that's where it comes from.
Alexander Campbell
meh, live and learn. /diy/ is still master race.
Connor Baker
you people have no idea how crazy my guitars would be by now if I had access to quality tools. It ain't stopping me, but goddamn is shit slow.
Ayden Garcia
Wait, a poorfag who couldn't afford the workmanship of a professional luthier is master race now?
Ayden Price
Not him, but have you seen the tools he has access to? I'm pretty sure he could afford whatever professional help he wanted. /diy/ is fun, valuable, and frankly just as enriching as any hobby. Say, for example, playing guitar.
Brayden Lee
>but have you seen the tools he has access to? >access to tools My cat has access to my computer everyday. Guess what he does with it?
Ayden Williams
>building guitar for the first time in backyard for shits >doesn't already know the ideal paths for cost cutting or have the skill set of a professional luthier

Ethan Thomas
Not our tools, an older buddy let us use his shop for the day. Just chill man, it isn't your project, you didn't lose any money, and I promise nobody will ever make you play it when it's done.
