Hey lads
Mom found a teacher near my home and wants me to learn guitar
So I'm planning to buy one but there are too many different ones with changing prices
What difference do they have please enlighten me what should I buy

>Humbucker

A Yamaha or fender acoustic will do
Go Danelectro if you don't want to break the bank for a decent electric

Nigga if I sold American and European organs for a living I'd spend it on stuff that actually looked nice and not some Rondo flame maple top.

Hi Roman

>Go Danelectro if you don't want to break the bank for a decent electric
Danelectros are overpriced trendy indie guitars. Yamaha electrics are better for beginners.

Boutique builders are worse than "Snakeoil Smith" Paul Reed Smith

Price range and styles you'd like to get into please. I'd say an HSS Mexican Strat or an HH Strat that you can learn to upgrade to an HSS

Just finished half an hours practise

I've been playing guitar for 6 months now, I've been feeling a little burnt out lately so I posted in one of theses threads yesterday and people gave me some advice. I tried it out today and it helped but still what advice would you give someone in my situation?

Also, here's my Squire "telecaster", people call me a faggot for owning one but honestly it's just endearing me to it more. But feel free to (you) me, it just gets me off.

Also, I really really want to buy guitar pedals but I have to save my money for university. But if I were to buy pedals which ones are one you reckon everyone should own???

I can't hear you over my Nash and Kelton Swade guitars running through my Tone Kings and Victoria amps

>people call me a faggot for owning one

tell them to eat shit. at least you got a proper guitar design rather than some pleb strat

never get a strat. they are all shit.

Dumb frog poster.

It's because you have a Humbucker in the neck faggot, Teles are know to have the best neck sound

Hey, the RG9 isn't roman, I'm just very dedicated to posting that guitar every thread because someone doesnt like it.

>call me a faggot
everyone's a faggot.
>But if I were to buy pedals which ones are one you reckon everyone should own???
the only pedal you'll ever NEED is a tuner. If your amp's loud enough, try to get some gigs and use gig money to buy gear.

Hi Ethan

nah, teles are way more well known for the bridge sound

i plan on putting a p90 in my tele because the neck just isn't doing it for me

I don't want to buy electro and pay more than 200₺ which is about 65 dolars

Still found you goyim

try Cort, they're really versatile and great guitars for the price. I spent 300$ on my first one and still use it 7 years later. I play jazz/blue and rock/metal and it's great for both. Better than buying a shitty Fender or somehting

I die a little inside every time I look at it.

>being this retarded
10/10 if bait

I think its just a Sup Forums thing people calling me a faggot for memcasters, all guitars are memes at this point, I like how it looks and how it sounds, doesn't mean much cos I've got a shit ear but hey ho, I'm the one playing/paying for it

They had that model in the store for £30 ($40), should I have got that one???

Descent shout, still I don't reckon I'm quite ready to play a gig
>tfw no band

Hello, Why do people keep calling me Ethan???

nope, not bait

strats are dogshit guitars

they're really overrated imo, but i wouldnt say theyre dogshit

they are uncomfortable and annoying to play

literally dogshit

Nice, is that a real floyd rose or a knock off stock brand? I also like the thin paint layer.

Oh ya, and be prepared for some grandpa making fun of you just because you didn't fall for the fender/gibson meme

how about the best of both worlds?

>I also like the thin paint layer
;____; pls no bully

> uncomfortable
Here's your final reply bait poster

Teles are a pretty good starter guitar. You'd probably like it Defiently see if you can play it in store and see if you like the way it sounds

just put some wax over it or strip off he entire satin finish

>Squire
It says the name of the brand right there on the fucking headstock

...

Inb4 that guy with the banana Tele posts his with 5 pickups

i know that feel user

;____;

>tele with 3 pickups

please dont make me vomit

the more the merrier, right?

If anything Esquires are better than teles

>????
>I said it was a Squire
>I also says Telecaster a little bit above that
>Pic related

SquiER.

This. If you can't get it done with an Esquire then you can't get it done, pack it up and go home.

>Mfw
Sorry mate, my mistake

It's cool. You should get a Gibsno or a Fendre instead though, maybe even an Ibanze if you're into shredding.

oh ethan

I like the look of the Gibsons and the Ibanze but cash is tight, I told myself no more new gear till I'm in a band and I know what kind of stuff I should get

Any time people want to explain why I'm being called Ethan??? I know its new faggish of me but hey ho

Whoah is that really only $2335? I thought non-reverse firebirds were way more valuable?

If my guitar is set for standard e tuning, will using different tunings warp the neck?

It will change the tension, it shouldn't warp it though unless you use some absolute retard tuning where you should have changed to custom gauges anyways.

This isn't always true.
There's a guy that does customs in my neck of the woods (Eastern Canada) that grants a great final product at a price a few hundred bucks higher than a deluxe Strat/Tele (but no taxes).
He does beautiful inlays of almost any design, worked for Larivee, sources practically any wood you need, and is very communicable on what you need.

legendguitars.com/legend-guitars

So it would probably be better to have specific guitars for specific tunings then? Or just use some piece of crap I guess

>durr werp dur neck?!?

How to fix action?

If you have a compound double truss, you could string your guitar with bass strings and the neck will stay true. I've been running FACGCF for almost a decade.

You can safely drop tune. If you want to use stuff like NST or whatever, use a separate guitar with custom gauges set for whatever tuning.

I'll warp your fucking neck in a minute you cunt

hit neck with hammer until straight
also works on faggots

My bad I was off by 3 years and $300

Replying to my own post...
It seems like the neck is bowed with the headstock facing up. Do I need to fuck with the truss rod.

Fix the bow in the neck, measure with a straightedge long enough for the entire neck. Have a lamp behind you so you can easily see. Adjust truss rod carefully. Break out a fitting Allen wrench and gently turn it clockwise to adjust neck backwards.

Good luck.

I'll knock you upside the head with a hammer. Now fuck off and give me useful advice.

>durr furk wit thurs rod?!?!

Thanks. Should the neck be perfectly straight? Does it matter if my strings are on or not?

ah cool, thanks. That one looks pretty beat desu non original pickups + the neck break makes it a dealbreaker. Priced about right.

Haram

It should be 100% straight or as close as possible. Keep the strings on and have it in tune.

Keep it in a playing position when you adjust. Pressure on the headstock when it's flat adds to the bow.

set the truss rod first. google how to do it. that thing is bowed to hell. after you fix the bow, do the string action.

Thinking of getting a fretless as my first bass because I prefer the sound. Terrible idea? Also recommendations in the sub 500 range?

yes you want the strings on and tuned to pitch. if you don't do this then you won't have any references for how the neck will be bowed when it's in tune.

you don't need straight edges or anything like that. all you need is some feeler gauges. once you know what you're doing you won't even need feeler gauges, you can just eye ball it.

Anyone have any experience with the Abominable Electronics range of metal pedals?

I was thinking of picking up one of these.

If you're gonna do that, get one with lines where the frets would be. Otherwise you'll just be playing out of tune forever.

>Terrible idea?
Yes.

Terrible idea if you're lazy. If you're critical of yourself and work on being accurate, not so much imo.
Or just get a cheap fretted bass and defret it later.

>Anyone have any experience with the Abominable Electronics range of metal pedals?
no you fucking idiot

Why so upset friend???

I ordered a throne torcher a couple of days ago but I have no idea when I'm going to get it.

Their store front says delivery takes 4 - 6 weeks and no refunds if not broken, I'd love to try one out sometime.

Post pics when it arrives tho, I'd be interested in your opinion.

I had a Hail Satan. It was nothing special frankly. Their bass preamp is supposed to be incredible though.

Fuck of Guthrie your music is shit anyway
Fuck i love those Tele customs, how much did that one cost you?

$499

£330 Brand new

>Fuck of Guthrie your music is shit anyway
how can you not like guthrie govan? even if you dont like his music you can't deny he's an incredible player

>buying new
top wiw

That would be the plan
Percussionist and former music student who knows how to practice. I'd take it pretty seriously. Mostly looking to play bass to jam with myself anyways

Whats wrong with buying new?

technicality's highly overrated. has he ever written a good song? fuck no

Have you used an instrument with timbre before? If you haven't extensively played strings, I don't recommend starting on fretless, even with good habits, unless you're under the guidance of a proper instructor.

>check reverb listings in my country
>nothing but overpriced vintage garbage
fuck's sake there's even someone selling a leather pick pouch for 350$ because it says gibson on it.

>You little cunt, i'll break your neck with my powerful fusion licks

Hell yeah man, timpani is my jam. Lots of ear training though it's been awhile so I'd need to practice that too.

yeah, but he's not all about technique, he does everything. Just because he's not a good songwriter doesn't mean he's a bad guitarist. I hate it when some boring fucker hears someone shredding and assumes that's all they do...
