onna order a warmoth neck to transfer my tele's scale length to 24.5.Should I change the neck to mahogany with rosewood fretboard or should continue using maple neck?
Jaxson Mitchell
what color is it
Owen Wright
Bump
Joseph Wood
hog necks are softer, not sure if there's a tone difference though
Jack Harris
maple is the best. using soft wood for necks is a meme
fretboard is preference but yeah maple is still best
Kayden Cox
please do not encourage off-topic discussion. This thread is about guitar, this board is about music. /lit/ is a great board, check it out.
Gabriel Cooper
is the epiphone les paul standard a good beginner guitar?
Caleb Perez
they are not suitable for people with little strength on left hands,and their bridge are pretty hard to adjust to get comfortable setup for a beginner
Carter Martinez
It's not horrible but it ain't great as far as guitars in that range go.
Blake Torres
is walnut neck a meme?what fretboard material is good for walnut neck?
Evan Martin
Everyone I know who purchased an epiphones les Paul as a beginner ended up quitting guitar altogether only a few years in.
I don't know if it says something about the kind of people who buy them, or the guitar itself.
I would stray away from LPs though, find them extremely uncomfortable to play. There's the awful body shape which just doesnt sit right, the weird short scale, the tuneomatic bridge and etc.
Nolan Campbell
just kill yourself now
Nolan Nelson
had that guitar for the first 3 years of playing and i absolutely hate it by now. playabillity is aweful. and if you decide to get it do yourself a favour and spent an extra 150 or so on two good pickups, the stock ones are muddy as fuck.
Hunter Cooper
Am I the only one that thinks that Jags and Mememasters cover all the tonal ground that a Strat does and sound better doing it?
Also, where does a mustang fit in all of this?

Just picked up pic related a few hours ago. Had a bunch of gear stolen years ago and then hit a patch of poorfag for a while. Finally being able to afford somewhat decent gear again is so nice.
Aaron Jones
Thoughts on the fender modern player line? The tele looks nice
Michael Jenkins
if you can find used and it plays well and you like it, buy it. if the place you buy it from has good return policy and you're willing to pay return shipping back, buy it online.
I wouldn't buy one used unless I could try it out though. For me, they sit somewhere between a Squier and a MIM Fender. Finish and build quality is probably flashier than a MIM or Squier, but not necessarily better.
And I think a Classic Vibe tele is miles better than a Modern Player, if only for the tonerider pups which are killer and the vintage feel.
Matthew Baker
you are. when you're playing clean or with just a bit of fuzz the strat has these beautiful vibrant tones with that top end sparkle a mememaster and a jag doesnt quite have. especially for lead types of sounds. though when you play more of a rythm guitar for certain styles the memeaster an jag might fit a tad bit better. atleast when we're talking grunge. for shoegaze it kind of depends which kind you're going for and for post rock lead tones the strat is really fucking good. my favourite post/math rock band has a memeaster ryythm and strat lead and that is a really good mix imo. but you also often see tele lead and some humbucker type as rythm when it comes to math rock atleast. i'd think of the strat more as a lead type guitar unless its the only guitar, while the memes fit better in the mix as rythm guitar with someone else playing lead..
Connor Brooks
Proof that you are not all gear and no play by posting a clip of your playing.
>when you're playing clean or with just a bit of fuzz the strat has these beautiful vibrant tones with that top end sparkle a mememaster and a jag doesnt quite have
I always thought quite the opposite. To me a Jag and Jazzmaster sound more harmonically complex while a strat sounds tinny. well, not really tinny, but I feel like the strat is a blank slate. in other words, tone is reliant on the dynamics of the player more than anything.
Anthony Collins
Good idea, let's all put on tripcodes too, credibility is important. After all, it's who says it that matters, not what is said.
Of course clyps are good in general though.
Levi Clark
I thought this when I started guitar. After a lot of fooling around with pickups and pickup configurations I realized that flat strat tone is the middle+neck position. The other positions are actually pretty good, or at least they aren't that generic sound.
The position 2 is really popular. It's actually really useful for its flatness sometimes.
Gavin Powell
>Martin >good
Pick one. Taylor or nothing.
Cooper Garcia
Reminder that if your acoustic doesn't have a trapeze it will eventually die of bridge lift no matter what you do
Tyler Perez
Maybe I'm just fat, but it's way too warm to have a slab of wood strapped to your body for several hours per day.
Luis Peterson
I hate taylor shills, I'm not paying over 600 bucks for a bolt on acoustic
Ayden James
>he doesn't know the joy of Hawaiian shirts
Cooper Torres
I can sit here shirtless and it's still too warm, I doubt a hawaiian shirt will help.
Grayson Sanders
taylors have no balls
David Morris
It helps more over time, y'know? If you go shirtless the whole day it makes a bigger difference.
Also, your body heats up when you digest food. Try to eat less in summer.

You're fucking high man. Taylor makes alright guitars but I'm sorry, $1000+ for a bolt on acoustic? Fuck that, for that kind of money you're so much better off buying a Martin.

Jason Powell
The fact that they're playing guitar is the only good part about it. Who knows, music might save an otherwise normal marriage where the two slowly come to resent each other and/or have kids. Take up a morphine addiction instead, shit's relatively safe, easier and safer to get than heroin, and actually makes you feel good after it's emptied your pockets. Don't do marriage kids, it's an uninspiring blackhole that leads to repressed depression, anger and boredom. As soon as you say your vows you might as well shoot yourself in the head, it'll make the rest of your life a lot easier. Source: my dads life
And yea, what this guy said: shit tone
Grayson Fisher
Cringey. But I hope I meet someone in my life that makes feel like that doing things like that's a good idea.
Alexander Flores

James Bell
this video just made me hate guitars
Nathan Clark
whaddya think of piezo acoustic guitars like these? will be picking one up tomorrow.
I love my epiphone les paul, but I got a 60s tribute plus which has Gibson pickups.
Jaxson Sanders
>buy squier mustang >Refinish yourself
Problem solved. Its ridiculously easy
Alexander Peterson
Ditch the Epi. I don't understand why people keep so many redundant guitars around unless it was their first.
Ayden Hernandez
I actually just bought a Squier. I just really don't want to end up half assing it like 90% of home refinishers.
Parker Ortiz
different tunings and different sounds. Though you wouldn't be off base if someone has several guitars with the same pickup configuration
Isaiah Harris
It's not as hard as you think. You just scuff the surface (don't take the finish down to the wood) and you basically have a perfectly smooth surface to apply a new color.
You could practice refinishing something else to get the hang of it.
Cooper Rodriguez
I'll try it if I get to bored of blue. Thrift store furniture would probably be my trial run.
Nolan Stewart
Next guitar is a gonna be a Squier classic vibe stratocaster. Already have a shecter and Washburn.
Jack Fisher
>tfw really want a strat >tfw even mexican ones are 450-500$ here second hand deliver me from this feel
Kevin Thomas

Aiden Jenkins
mexican strats are shit. Get a Tokai or something-
Camden Lee
There's a tokai for the same price, though it's not in my city and I couldn't see it. It's a ST100 and I was thinking of getting that.
Benjamin Butler
Is it possible to get an acoustic-like tone from a semi-hollow guitar and clean channel amp? Also another thing to add here; which type of strings would go well for a sound like that if nickel wound strings won't work?
Colton Roberts
lift = tone
red label yamaha fg 75 (i think year 1967). it's my workout guitar. action isn't so high towards the nut and it actually sounds AMAZING but as you can see it's destroying itself, like a star.
I noodle this bitch constantly it makes playing my electrics a breeze
Colton James
I've played multiple Tokais and they're pretty good desu, really great quality.
Jackson Price
Only concern I'd have is it being a fake. Though I don't think they really make Tokai fakes right?
Gavin Flores
needs more blast beats. plen wedding
also add brutal vox with killer highs and lows

Juan Gray
Hey /gg/
Don't know if you can help me, but i've been playing guitar for like 9 years, and after only playing on western guitars and e-guitars for that long, while initially having started out on a classical guitar, i really, really want to buy one (a classical guitar).
Only problem is that i don't any respectable good classical guitar brands. I heard Cordoba is good, but they mainly make Flamenco guitars, which i guess could work but i'm worried about too bright sound and string buzzing.
Any other brands i should be looking at?
Mason Gutierrez
You will never reach enlightenment, user.
Colton Russell
You can't post that and not tell me what the hell is going on.
Owen Hernandez
keep those stickers away from that fucking guitar
Austin Smith
Don't worry famalam, they're for cars. I just set them down there.

Joseph Flores
Who else here once bought an extremy heavy guitar because of retardation?
When i was 16 or so i bought a Stratocaster model (not Fender) and i liked it so much that i completely ignored how much it weighed. It was heavy as fuck. Can't even stand while playing it for more than 15 minutes.
>orange color on right >WITH matching headstock like left >WITH single coils like left >WITH a plain pickguard
Jaxon Stewart
Hit me with a photo with coffee for the collage.
Isaiah Thompson
do you know if you could put your guitars neck on a fender type body?
If you love the way it plays slap the neck and all the shit on another strat body it might work out for you.
Ethan Cooper
Senpai, it's been like 9 years since i bought it, since then i've bought 2 new, better guitars, but i still regret that purchase to this day
Andrew Lee
>dealing with it for 9 years >Not selling or body swapping >still bitching about it.
Come on, man.
Jose Diaz
What? I've not been dealing with it for 9 years. I bought a different guitar 3 years after that and never touched it again. I'm literally just saying that i regret that purchase that i made when i was young and dumb. What's wrong with you?
Why would i bodyswap some shitty 500$ guitar anyways?
Josiah Brown
Im a beginner Only played for few months but Im stuck and cant find any new songs to learn
recommend me some beautiful music/songs with no vocals
Mason Richardson
>Why would i bodyswap some shitty 500$ guitar anyways?
Because it's fun. You might learn a new skill.
If you regret the purchase and never play the guitar, why not sell it?
You're literally here stewing about a problem you've done nothing to fix senpai.
Henry Smith
i need a really, really long E string for my 27" scale Lindell VN-2
an ernie ball 10 gauge string is long enough to wrap around the peg once. bright side is no clipping necessary.
Jace Clark
...
Jaxson Davis
No, i'm just talking about regrets from the past
Christopher Brooks
I have lots of small regrets, they are my guitar collection. I just wish I saved for something really nice instead of a bunch of mid range guitars
Landon Wright
Are these pretty much just speakers that generate a nature plate reverb?
Henry Bailey
Sure, here you go.
Matthew Miller
how's the jet city treatin you? was looking at one a few months back, kinda regret not getting it
Liam Hughes
>ampeg bass guitar wew, you don't see many of those. How do they sound?
Oliver Cook
Wanna buy my Mustang? Then you will have three red mustangs, collect the set!
Evan Foster
Its a pretty solid one channel amp, takes pedals really well, not my main amp but I do enjoy it and won't get rid of it.
Jayden Kelly
I'd love more Mustangs, but not another red one, a vintage burst or a light green or blue would be nice.
Gabriel Johnson
It's actually an Eastwood, they do lots of recreations of weird guitars from the 60s, sadly I don't have the thousands of dollars you need to buy the real thing. I'd recommend Eastwood though, good value and something a bit different from the usual big names.
