i was looking on sweetwater for something but i guess i won't be able to buy from them since they don't have anything that fits that description. should i try to buy something at one of my kinda crappy local shops? they wouldn't know anything about setting up anyways. any other online places?
Robert Phillips
what exactly are you looking for?
Dominic Long
other online places would be musician's friend, reverb, ebay, amazon, etc.
Jacob Carter
What kind of music do you even play on electric guitars without pedals?
It was a serious question with a trolling vibe to it, i actually want to know because everyone is obsessed with pedals and also because i don't own a single pedal
Jayden Peterson
You forgot LTD and PRS SE.
Oliver Reed
the local shop i used to go to had a crazy old guy start working there who was an asshole so i'm not going back there. wouldn't really call that good service

so guitars with trems get out of tune easy unless they're a floyd rose as i understand. if i take off the tremolo bar is that still true though? also what about low tunings? i saw a vid by a guy on how to drop tune a floyd rose and he had to tape pennies together and put them in the back of the guitar where a bunch of springs were
Grayson Thomas
well you could try again and build a rapport with them. might be worth it
small stores are great. staff really know their shit and my owner occasionally lets me play some of his vintage stuff. shit like half a century old models that must be worth over 10 grand
Chase Flores
am I allowed to post if I have a guitar made by an independent luthier?

Yes, very true.
I do not like squire, not Paul's SE I do not like epiphone , sterling, LTD Not Fender immigrants from Mexico nor the chapman guitar co. Ibanez? Ibinhad no doubt if you own these guitars, GET OUT OUT OUT
Evan Gutierrez

Leo Barnes
>well you could try again and build a rapport with them. might be worth it pardon the term but are you a cuck? why would i try to cozy up to a salesman who acted rude as fuck?
Hudson Garcia
Taking out the bar still isn't enough. You would have to effectively hardtail the guitar; i.e. lower the bridge to be flush with the body (so no space between the bottom of the bridge and guitar body). The thing with the pennies is so the bridge doesn't pull back. That's still a half measure though - if the bar were used at this point it could only make the bridge go one way, unless the other side of the trem bar too was blocked (usually with change, wood, etc.)
Elijah Gonzalez
i hate trems so much. never once have i felt the urge to use one, NEVER ONCE! not even when i was just starting out!
Juan Evans
Forgot to add when doing this, you don't need to use all 5 springs (you can, but it'd be redundant as 3 springs is adequate). Also, the two screws pulling the bridge bar toward the guitar neck heel (mind you this is all in the back cavity) should be as screwed as tightly and as close as possible to the neck heel.

Only certain types of music really benefit from pedals(more so its the genres typical guitar sound), most music you can play without them. Pedals are just fun sometimes, but they can really be distracting at the same time. Im assuiming your amp has a dirty channel, clean and distorted sounds will be good enough for just about everything.
Oliver Thompson
they're incredibly fun, and play well for their price
Levi White
>are you a cuck? yeah, let's not throw childish memes around eh
he probably acted grumpy because working in a guitar store is hard work. customers are arrogant, demanding, rude, waste time, play all their stock horribly and then leave. if you actually talk to staff you'll find they're as passionate as you and willing to respect or at least give you the time of day, even if it's just a conversation.
Schecter custom shop just relaunched their pickups.
Before they made guitars they made the best pick up replacements back in the 80s. They became collectors stuff after they got bought and started with guitar making.
The I like the Pasadena's ALOT. Great blues clean sound.
The one I linked are nice for what you are looking for, it has more output to give it a blues sound but also slide up into country territory.
They also make a humbucker that is stacked to fit a single coil slot. You could buy a push/pull volume and then tap the stacked humbucker for the classic tele sound or use the full thing to make your guitar more versatile.
hey where is user that got the s series? wasn't it supposed to come yesterday or today?

Poor fags buy pedals because their squire's and Ibanez guitars sound like ass but the digital effects completely hide the natural sound of their glued together plywood guitars.

what's your deal? why did i have to tell you all of this for you to believe he's an asshole?

Sweetwater is by far my favorite online retailer. Any time I've made a big purchase they've called me to confirm and are really upfront about what your buying and answer any questions you have. I live in Illinois so it's usually next day shipping for free. I've made similar big purchase from other retailers. Musicians friend is by far the worst. I got the wrong pickups, then the ones I ordered went on backorder and it took a month and a half for a refund. Guitar center is decent but they always try to rip you off if you go in person. Buy local or Sweetwater.

No it's just a standard electric.

wow you could afford your four $200 guitars without a credit.
OUT, OUT, OUT I SAY. COME BACK WITH A GUITAR MADE IN THE USA.
David Thompson
Teles are memes, strats(especially surf green, maple neck, or anything besides sss) are memes, fender off sets are memes. Made in usa is a meme(unless it is made in mexico or asia, which would make it a meme). anything leo fender ever touched is a meme(even indirectly, like jackson). G&l, music man, memes.
Dont get an epiphone, its a huge meme. Its a fake gibson for poor people. And gibson is a meme, its an over priced epiphone. Muh out of tune o matic, muh babby scale.
Ricks are a meme, esp is a meme, ibanez is a meme, bc rich is an edgy meme.
Any recognizable guitar is a meme.
Dont get ne started on special snowflakes. Muh tonewoodz, muh resonant frequencies, muh neck through, muh hollow body, o am i laffin
Brody Fisher
The only option out there that looks solid is this thing from roland thats really ugly. You can get a full setup for about $700 with a synth module, i think the pickup alone is around $200. I looked at it almost a year ago and it seemed alright, but not good enough for what i wanted to do. I just started learning to play keyboards, cheaper and exactly what i needed. And having the challenge of learning an instrument again was nice.

basically this but it STAYS fun. I'd say try it out first, guitar center usually has them. I loved playing one so much I almost got it but got my Bassbreaker instead.

... so I bought a Fender Roland Ready GC-1 Strat where it's all fitted in the factory. Extra GK pickup next to the bridge, GK up/down buttons near the switch and a 13-pin output on the lower bout of the body.

Just have to go to different places and shop around before dumping the cash. I can see a little markup but damn, thats just bad business when I can drive 5 minutes and get the exact same guitar or amp for cheaper the same day.

Shawbucker is an excellent pickup, if slightly microphonic.
Back row, left to right GC-1 Strat (see above post) 1986 E-series MIJ Contemporary (see above post) 1983 US Standard two-knob Strat 2005 HSS US Standard in sienna sunburst 2005 partscaster, US Deluxe bosy in metallic aquamarine, US Standard neck, Fender SCN pickups 2015 partscaster, Azted Gold US FSR body, US Standard neck, Shawbucker and Fat 50s

Hey you great people, I've been thinking a lot about this recently while listening to my favourite blues artists, like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix... You know them all. I don't have to tell you So what I was thinking about: is blues dead? I do agree there are some great blues artists, like John Mayer. But never again something like Hendrix existed. Someone who can play the blues and people still like whether they love blues or not. I play Blues myself. I love it. It is really satisfying. I'm a teenager and that's my problem. (don't start with the "Wrong generation" shit) if I wanted to start a band to just play blues I will not find anyone! All these musicians want to play metal and stuff like this. Don't get me wrong, I really like metal and like to play it too. But blues is really something special and I think modern blues artist lost the feeling of the past. What happened to Blues? P.S. I'm on my mobile phone and am sorry if the post is unstructured or full of mistakes Happy Guitar playing anyone!

Someone is mad. Actually only payed $125 for the MIJ AX7521, not counting pickup upgrades.
>OUT, OUT, OUT I SAY. >COME BACK WITH A GUITAR MADE IN THE USA.
Who cares where its made if it sounds good? Stupid fucks that think that extra cash gives better performance. Purists that cant really play but make excuses why someone that can play better than them sucks, because their gear. No guitar is going to make you sound good with a fucked up attitude like that, no matter where it is made or how much it costs.
So please continue throwing bait and Ill continue pointing out the obvious retardedness in your posts. Keeps these moving along.

Wyatt Jones
finally someone with taste.
I'm looking to get one guitar to do everything with.
I was wanting the S/S/S but the shawbucker has made me think twice. What do you recommend.
Have you bought any other nice brand guitars? how do they compare to the Fender?
I'm considering a Musicman or Gibson as well.
Grayson Richardson
it's been done to death. if i hear the 12 bar blues shuffle again i'll fucking kill myself

Fresh strings? Stretch the strings out a bit.

Yea the bonus of a modern pickup would be price and reliability, idk how used up a vintage one would be
