Dylan Rodriguez
I cant wait for hiromoot to make the /prod/ board so we can have a fender/good brands general. Getting tired of all these poorfags shitting the threads up because they can't afford quality gear.
Adam Barnes
At this rate I am just going to keep buying mustangs, they're the comfiest guitar to play.
Hudson Rogers
Time for a no load pot
Nicholas Baker
I wish I was a manlet so it'd be easier to play on the higher frets on short scale guitars. I fucking love the size it just sucks being 6 feet tall with big hands
Gabriel Lewis
2ez
Jack Green
I'm also 6 foot but have rather long slender fingers so I can't say its a problem for myself.
Nicholas Powell
Fender is pretty cheap though.
Jaxon Morgan
>tfw 6'1" with big hands and long thin fingers
alien checking in. maybe i can go tom verlaine mode
Jason Rodriguez
that doesn't mean anyone disagreeing with you plays metal.
>no load pot what's it for ?
I'm not 6 foot but I hate playing on anything smaller than 25.5". Even the 17-22th frets feel like shit. 26.5" is super comfortable to play.
Carson Watson
They are, relatively speaking, but poorfags still get jealous and upset over them
Jack James
When they will ever learn. :^) t. King of Manlets I prefer 25.5 scales though but get along with my PRS just fine
> Fender > not still in poorfag tier Suhr, Music Man, Tom Anderson, Aristides say hi
Ethan Thomas
>owning a PRS >knowing all those shitty meme core brands off the top of your head Embarrassing yourself no further The point is poorfags will get jealous over midprice fenders because they are of good quality. And are aesthetically pleasing unlike the shit you mentioned.
Anthony Powell
Fender was a mistake
Ethan Rivera
>owning a PRS kek plot twist: it's an SE. >knowing all those shitty meme core brands off the top of your head Have you never been to TGP user, oh my. > are aesthetically pleasing unlike the shit you mentioned Don't be subjective user, it hurts the discussion. Also most Andersons looks just like the Fender counterpart with higher craftmanship/parts. I was actually memeing tbqh family because I'm bored and slightly upset by other shit here. I want a Fender Elite Strat but can't buy it at the moment. They play and sound terrific.
Elijah Carter
>tfw you will never be a poorfag and know what it feels like to be unable to afford your desired gear and have to work unlawful hours in order to scrape by, meanwhile playing on the scraps left to you by others who have passed on by Feels bad man
Jose Wright
That's a cool idea, I'm surprised there's barely anyone jumping on that thread.
Daniel Reed
...
Brayden Collins
Thread's dead now, jim
Was a good idea tho.
Zachary Flores
I'm gonna put acoustic strings on my electric. Is it a bad idea?
Ryder Sanchez
Depends on the string material some acoustic strings are not very magnetic and the pickups won't pick them up, otherwise they are just shit to play and might warp your neck on the long run if they are some extra heavy gauge strings.
Connor Lee
Yes, they'll sound like shit and warp your neck.
Eli Howard
Thoughts on this man?
Adrian Wright
I have no idea who this man is.
Nathaniel Mitchell
I like the approach he took. Build the maximum comfy and ergonomic guitar without caring for preconceptions and existing ideas on how a guitar should look like. Would unironically consider an ERG from Strandberg.
Nicholas Howard
To the fellow mustang bro asking the difference between the Squier and Fender I prefer the Squiers chunky C shape 9.5 neck more than the 7.25 slim C neck on the Fender. Electronically the Fender sounds better with pedals due to the single coils and the pups on the Squier regret individually but have to tweak the pedals to make them compatible with the lipstick and HOt rail
Kevin Richardson
Thanks for that, I was considering a squier mustang for some mod fun but I prefer the vintage spec'd neck. Are those the stocks pups on the squier?
Anthony Lee
Those guitars look and feel like garbage.
Henry Walker
>Those guitars look and feel like garbage. I seriously doubt you ever played one senpai.
Jeremiah Davis
I was going to, but the OP had a terrible sense of rhythm. That shit would not have been pleasant to add to
James Bailey
Alright, Sup Forumsfaggots, we all know most floating tremolos are garbage. For every one that swears by a Floyd there are a dozen more who curse it. From unreliability to being a pain in the ass to set up, floating trems are in need of a modern upgrade
How would you design a floating trem or what would you change or fix from the current ones?
For me: Make a Flody easier to adjust intonation without having to keep loosening and retuning strings
Samuel Gutierrez
dude if I knew how to make floyd roses foolproof then I wouldn't be sitting around being a broke ass guitarist
Leo Campbell
I mean, I know it's all relative, but what's everyone's agreed on range?
>the guitar can be posted >at buyers risk Fuck. Don't know if I should put my faith in some random man over gumtree to take care of posting it properly.
John Cruz
>$100 - $499: beginner/"not willing to commit that much yet" tier >$500 - $999: regular player tier >$1000+: I have a lot of money tier
Evan Taylor
what's the point of having expensive guitars when you use distortion anyways? i can't tell the difference in sound between my cheap $90 one and a nicer one i bought. the only difference is that the cheaper one's easier to string bend and the more expensive one feels sturdier and looks cooler
Joseph Morris
I really like the Music Man tremolo in the Petrucci guitars, as far as I know it's a custom design for those. It keeps in tune and allows you to do some bar wanking if you want. Very stable. Seems right to me Mesa bro. Also you can get really amazing guitars for $1200 second hand. Feel, playability, comfyness. Electronics not being a noisy mess. A lot of it can be remediated if you do a project but sometimes you can't be arsed to DIY.
Gavin Bennett
/gg/, help.
My jig-saw broke just before starting to cut the body of my project guitar and I'm currently considering some alternatives, but can't think of any cheap-ish ones.
What would you guys use to cut out a guitar body? (btw. the cheaper the better) And would a fret saw do justice and what type of blade would be best?
Connor Ross
The Ibanez Zero Resistance bridges really have a good idea and are headed in the right direction as far as trem design. Rather than use a knife edge like a Floyd it uses ball bearings, similar to how a Khaler uses a cam system. And on the Edge ZR to adjust intonation you don't have to unlock everything and move the string, there's a screw in the back of the bridge to do it. It seems pretty genius to me, but I've never seen one in person yet to know how reliable they are
Aaron Howard
>For every one that swears by a Floyd there are a dozen more who curse it. Just whiny babies desu. If you don't like it you don't need you cry about it. "They're harder to set up" is understandable. So is not wanting to deal with it. But cursing something because it's hard is for faggots.
Nicholas Mitchell
How is the bridge on the Squier? I'm thinking about getting one and upgrading it to a Staytrem.
This is probably the most accurate since used MIM Fenders start at around $300.
James Richardson
You can get some old US Washburns and Peaveys for sub $300 that are very well made and usually just require a little TLC.
There is also Japanese Squiers, and Mexi Fenders.
Aiden Scott
Finally done. This will enable me to completely remove my tone knob from the circuit when my tone knob is maxed, removing the load on my pickups and enabling ear-piercing brightness.
Brandon Kelly
your dad's ballsack tier?
William Ortiz
well well, is that someone regretting his $2k gibson or a butthurt poorfag ?
Jose Evans
I'm speaking about retail rather than used, there's too much variation in the used market.
Leo Cruz
>Guess tier what am I playing You sure butchered that sentence.
Andrew Wood
No reason to not buy used especially when just starting out.
Austin Ramirez
But you can say that at x tier you should be spending $y
Jack Mitchell
Has anybody tried making duplicate accounts to get free credit on reverb through its refer-a-friend promo?
Ryan Bailey
pls halp
Blake Young
all true 100% motherfuckers played strats in the 70s
Carson Morgan
Hmm, Maruszczyk basses look neat, I might have to order one. They seem to be one of the few who make traditional J and P basses with modern features (35'' scale, wider string spacing , modern neck, up to 6 strings, 24 frets, etc.), and they're pretty cheap for what you're getting. Does anyone have experience with them? They're based in poland.
Joshua Johnson
>What would you guys use to cut out a guitar body? (btw. the cheaper the better) my granddad's rusty saw. and then finish it with some cheap fretsaw
Christian Wright
no.
Nolan Flores
sg was an exception because iommi used it even page was a secret fender player
Well, the lick is from Les Claypool, I'm just getting into slap and hope that my playing is decent.
Alexander Collins
>hurr durr he used X >no he used Y
You know what he used you fucks ? Talent. That's what he fucking used. Work your god damned ass off and stop caring which guitar he used. Who the fuck cares if you think X is better than Y, any of them's better than your lazy, imageboard-complaining ass.
Grayson Robinson
Yeah, the only reason I'm keeping the pickguard off is that Jaguar pickguards have two holes for the bridge posts built in, and the roller Mosrite bridge I put on won't sit right on top of the pickguard.
I'm still thinking of buying a clear one and cutting it. Could be cool.
Cameron Robinson
JUST
Caleb Lewis
Zappa used an SG for most of his career.
Ian Fisher
You should join the /morningcrew/. We're all about max comfy with gear. I'm making coffee cups.
Andrew Jones
Amp price tiers: >0-100$: waste of money/gimmick tier (with exceptions) >100-250$: student tier >250-500$: decent combos, okay heads >500-1000$: good combos, overpriced combos, good heads >1000-1500$: tour heads, loud stuff, overpriced combos >1500$+: look at how much money I have
John Murphy
>AC15 >overpriced combo
Gimme a break, bud. I hope these are used prices.
Levi Bennett
>(with exceptions) Which ones ?
>paying $1k for an AC15
Luke Carter
user an AC15 is $600 new. That's in that range you gave. Where on earth do you get $1000 from?
Even at $600, your tier calls it overpriced.
Asher Martinez
>good combos, overpriced combos and i'm not the op of the tier either
Asher Clark
Is the /morningcrew/ Fender exclusive?
Dominic Davis
Nah, just happens to be so far. It's really just anyone that's posted their gear with tea or coffee. I should make a collage.
Caleb Russell
Just refinished this $20 garage sale special. Also got 6 pedals for $61. Shit was awesome.
Adam Sullivan
Exceptions being stuff like roland micro cubes (used) or some of the cheaper voxes. ymmv
Ayden Miller
So, I want to buy this cherry red '03 HH Standard Stratocaster but I don't want the floyd rose, how would I go about removing it?
Carter Rivera
Page is shit no matter what instrument he plays desu senpai.
Hunter Foster
(you)
Jaxson Harris
Here's the before. Had some paint or stain spilt on it. It's an early 80s Electra x630n P bass.
Ethan Brooks
This is actually something I came here to ask you guys about since I know a lot of you are really knowledgeable on amps and stuff.
I have never been an amp guy. I have had my Line 6 Spider IV for years because I live in a small dorm and that's all I've ever been able to use or need. Now I'm in the market for my first ever "real" amp and am completely clueless about amps or anything about them. I don't even know how they work with tubes and all that. I want a half stack but nothing super crazy or expensive. How much could I expect to spend on a decent quality head and cab? How much should I not spend to avoid overpaying for something not worth the price?
Carson Martin
yeah his pentatonic scale over and over was god tier you're right
Jackson Martin
>I want a half stack
No, you don't. Get a nice 1x12 combo or 2x12 combo if you want more headroom.
Unless you're playing large outdoor shows a halfstack is complete overkill.
Owen Hall
And how much should I be looking to spend for a combo like that?
Thomas Roberts
There are good combos at all price points. What is your budget, what do you want to sound like? Got any pedals you like to use?
Brandon Bailey
What pedals did you score
Jonathan Powell
I got a used crate gfx 212 for $100 like 10 years ago. $200 would've been reasonable to me. But a friend sold it cheap.
Andrew Moore
The absolute most I would ever go is 1000USD, but that's pushing it. I enjoy playing metal and thrashing it up, but also like playing melodic lead stuff, and lots of clean. Anything from Slayer to Satch to Jeff Buckley to Led Zep
Right now I have an MXR Fullbore Metal pedal that my friend somehow punk'd me into buying, but that's it. I plan on getting into the pedal game soon enough once i have an amp that they'll sound good with
Dominic Long
I dig the dot but my drummer convinced me to not get a Tele and this was my second choice. I still dream about the tele but this sounds pretty awesome too. As for fretwork. Ehhhhh
Jonathan Rogers
Lol... $1000 is nuts. You can get something really good for less than $300. Just check out a few pawn stores and music shops try some shit out and see what you think is a good deal.
