How does the fretboard change the sound if the vibrating string doesn't come into contact with it?
Bentley Morales
>>more ebony almost everywhere not gonna happen
Jaxson Torres
Actually yeah, probably not
maybe they will use Black Limba(aka Korina) for fretboards now too
it comes into indirect contact with it
on electrics? it doesn't change the sound because nothing wood-wise does really
on acoustics? it probably still doesn't make a big difference
Evan Clark
Never tried tube scream, is it worth its meme status?
Evan Sullivan
>aesthetical option that barely matters becomes more scarce >people go apeshit over it
Jordan Wood
for a lot of people it's a standard pedal, but i've always preferred an OCD over any of the tube screamers ive heard
Ayden James
>when you pluck a string >the neck and fretboard don't vibrate lol
Benjamin Clark
>indirect contact
what did he mean by this?
That the fretboard touches the fret/nut, which in turn touches the string? seems silly and inconsequential
Ryan Adams
Welcome to /gg/
Never tried that either, I use OD or fuzz, but not much distortion
Owen Lewis
If you think the neck of the guitar sympathetically vibrating is going to affect anything, let alone be picked up by the pickups, i strongly urge you to kill yourself
Lucas Adams
yeah that's what I was getting at, it is inconsequential though, tonewise it does nothing and rosewood was used because of cost
well, that and maple/ebony are harder to work with
James Fisher
How do I not make the pentatonic scale sound like shit?
Jonathan Watson
>he thinks the amount of vibration is enough to have any influence back through the strings and into the pickup or even funnier, through the frets into the fretboard into the neck into the body into the bridge into the strings and into the pickups
literally l-ing mao at your life
Eli Nelson
this, anyone who says the fretboard material is anything more than a look/feel thing is retarded
Kayden Long
I sounds great but I'm thinking of getting a Super Distortion for the Maiden/Motörhead tones. But only after getting an MXR distortion and EQ
Anthony Gomez
use a metronome and solo over a progression
Mason Torres
add the blues notes
Robert Rivera
mind where in the chord progression you play each interval
Zachary Bailey
if you want to do literally anything but play that type of stuff i'd recommend going with Duncans over Dimarzios any day
Nicholas Perez
Phaser and fuzz and just the right amount of echo/delay
Alexander Brown
>disguising your ignorance/lack of ability behind gimmicks
Brayden Carter
I'll take what are guitar pedals for $100? Please Jeremy
Noah Bailey
>how the neck does (or does not) vibrate has no affect on a guitars sound lol this is precious
Brandon Young
yeah why even play an electric, it disguises mistakes so easily
just play acoustic, or even just nylon classicals, heh yeah! im totally not a fucking idiot
Jace Green
Why? Dave Murray uses Hot Rails now and sounds great, but in the 80's he and Eddie Clarke used Super Distortions, and I love how they sounds.
Thomas Campbell
Please take a physics class
Jayden Robinson
dimarzios sound terrible clean, every time i've heard or used a guitar with any dimarzio it sounded tinny compared the Duncan equipped guitars I have
Kevin Edwards
So I've been playing for about 4 months now and I think finally able to start to play songs. What songs would you recommend for someone who finally learned Enter Sandman
Zachary Wilson
Anything by Nirvana
Ian White

If user can't make a pentatonic sound good clean, no amount pedals will help. But of course, upon asking what, where and how to play to sound good, user gets the proverbial "try it out with X piece of gear" response, which is this general in a nutshell: always more concerned about gear than actual music.
Levi Lee
>pluck a string >string vibrates >neck/fretboard wood interacts with this vibration (it's called a fulcrum, pivot point or support on which a lever turns in raising or moving ... btw) so a strings vibrations don't have anything to do with an electric guitars tone?
Logan Barnes
the pivot point is the actual fret you ass, not the fretboard
Aiden Gray
Master of Puppets
Brody Rogers
do humbuckers sound worse in a strat because its made out of alder/ash instead of mahogany?
i think i am starting to come around to the strat body contours, but love the sound of duncans in mahogany. i am wondering if i can bridge the gap.
Eli Edwards
US sellers on reverb >The scarf joint at the headstock snapped at one point, and the paint on the body have completely chipped off. These are completely cosmetic so I'm only knocking off 10% off of what I bought it for. >Guitar arrives smelling like cigarettes with some damage not mentioned in the listing
Japanese sellers on reverb >There's a hairline scratch on the back anf I lost the tags so it's 50% off. >Guitar arrives in perfect condition and the seller slips in a handwritten thank you note and some green tea kit kats.
Jackson Cook
lol no
wood doesnt matter in electrics
Liam Collins
>the pivot point is the actual fret you ass, not the fretboard nope the pivot point would be the neck joint. I noticed you found a way to avoid answering the question though
Thomas Phillips
>wood doesnt matter in electrics this is wrong
Benjamin Anderson
I have a tone-lok TS, is it the same deal? OD and fuzz will give you all the dirty tones you need, unless you're playing metal or some shit like that, if that's the case you just need distortion
Jason Martinez
>green tea kit kats >not hokkaido melon and mascarpone
fucking nips
Nicholas Hill
Noise rock/pop punk/sorta hardcore
Listen to PUP and then imagine it a little heavier, nailed my tone perfectly
Kayden Ross
Any sympathetic vibrations felt by the neck will be dampened by the weight of the wood and the fact that you're touching the neck. Any residual sympathetic vibrations will have no effect on the vibrating string, and thus, no effect on the tone.
Jonathan Martinez
honestly the inlay shape makes a difference in the tone more than fretboard wood type
Kevin Lopez
uh no
Juan Robinson
git gud
Leo Bailey
>unless you're playing metal or some shit like That, if that's the case you just need distortion boost + high gain amp sounds better in most cases than a straight up distortion pedal, and will be more versatile. The only case where I would not consider that is against a Boss HM-2, since it sounds really wild.
Robert Cruz
If /gg/ is the only reason you even bother with Sup Forums anymore gimme an aayyyyyyyyy
Kevin Mitchell
While the OCD is definitely better, the Tubescreamer has never really been a meme. It has to be bullshit to be a meme, it's totally got it's uses, especially for throwing in front of higher gain amps.
Blake Nelson
nah, I just go on slower boards and sometimes shitpost on Sup Forums but ironically
Justin Gonzalez
No
Julian Brooks
The amount of material matters far more than the actual material. Hardtail into a solid chunk of fucking wood versus a few contact points on a trem to a plank.
Henry King
Who the fuck is Jeremy?
Benjamin Howard
yeah i was talking hardtail in all cases
Robert Bennett
You're being silly Jeremy
Xavier Fisher
I mean it's the only reason I come to Sup Forums The rest of this board is trash
Brody Green
Should I buy a hardcase? Hardcase general when?
Kevin Edwards
Can anyone recommend me some good budget guitar amplifiers that have good distortion channels for under 200 bucks? I've tried some out and listened to demos and they all do clean fairly well, but the distortion sounds like shit.
Evan Price
Blackstar
Sebastian Gray
I love more mellow backing tracks and can play around using A minor and C major scales. I can the pentatonics too but when it comes to more rock stuff I just can't play it.
I don't know if it's something wrong in my playing or I just don't enjoy noodling too much.
Nathaniel Perez
Yeah though it's starting to become the same things over and over again like other boards.
wrong. even with your hand on the neck the neck is still vibrating. anybody can test this right now for themselves >vibrating neck=affect on string vibration=affect on the guitars tone
Brody Howard
yep. blackstar
Asher Nelson
Fender Telecaster custom
Easton Gonzalez
Just bend the neck
Camden Parker
>mfw bandmate has an ocd and tubescreamer on his pedalboard and he gives me shit for ordering a phaser
Robert Hill
>his guitar didn't come with a fitted hard-case
Xavier Garcia
Got a Blackstar, I cant play on OD channel past volume one, it blows up my flat
Liam Hall
I run a bunch of OD pedals through my OD channel with the volume at 12. what's your excuse?
Brayden Sullivan
do it
Tyler Morgan
I don't want to get kicked out my flat???
Ehhhh, I know I should but at the same time ehhhhhhh
Lucas Cox
He's not using a 1w amp
Cooper Lopez
But not enough to feedback into the strings, or else your guitar is now a perpetual motion machine
Luis Howard
Do you take your guitar anywhere?
Jace Gray
Not quite. I'm a physics major though so I can enlighten you.
Different densities in wood affect how much string vibration energy is lost when you pluck a string. A higher density wood will reject the string energy transfer into the body/neck (this is called internal stress) and thus the string will vibrate longer. With that being said keep in mind two pieces of wood from the same tree would probably sound different due to slight differences in density. It would be very hard to attribute a sound to a certain species of wood.
Also keep in mind a higher density neck will resist the physical pull of the strings and thus stay in tune better. This can also be achieved with multi-piece lamination's which is common on 8 string necks for example.
When a manufacturer uses the misleading term "tone wood" they're really referencing a word that a luthier would use to describe a piece of wood that rings out a specific note when tapped. A piece of wood like this would usually be used for an acoustic rather than an electric guitar though.
Is the wood that your electric guitar is made of as important as your amp, pickups, etc.? Obviously not, but the idea that the wood used in an electric guitar has no effect on it's overall sound is wrong.
Luis Lee
Open mic, hoping to start a band and go gigging this year
Jonathan Cooper
why did you even ask. holy moley
Nathan Wright
I'll buy one, what one should I get?
Kevin Campbell
You make some great points, and I've got some questions for you. Since this discussion was focused around fretboards, what's the difference in density between maple and fretboard, and how does that change the overall density of the neck?
Carter Davis
>physics major >first semester student throwing his pretend clout around
Luis Howard
Then yes, absolutely do it. That's a $1500 guitar you're lugging around in a piece of fabric
Blake Gonzalez
>guitarist being able to find a rhythm section to start a band
kek good luck with that
Hudson Diaz
