High quality electric guitar manufacturers that are not gibson, fender, or manufacturers of meme guitars?

Someone needs to fix the OP links. Like consolidate the similar ones into a pastebin or something. And add something more useful and relevant like some links on how to set up a Floyd Rose or do guitar set ups at home.

Overpriced as all hell. They may very well be good, quality guitars. But not for that price.
Nicholas Nguyen
I should clarify ESP japan The bullshit they offer in america is too tailored for the tasteless metal crowd.
Not an argument. All guitars are overpriced seeing as they are just shiny pieces of wood.
Kayden Peterson
Most of the guitars in the world are made in the same 5-10 factories, in Korea,China,Japan,Indonesia, Mexico. Most of their guitars are great if you spend over $1000 from any brand. Reverend,Peerless, D'angelico are some good Korean made guitars. Like always you get what you pay for...
Eastman is good if you like semi-hollows and archtops. I think they're kind of in their own league, the finishes on their guitars are better than Gibson imo.
Levi Taylor
I mean, they're quality construction. Mostly solid neck through stuff that looks really good. Lots of ugly meme guitars, but generally good.
Compare that to Fender which just screws some planks together as cheaply as possible essentially and slaps their logo on it so people will pay 1000+ or whatever they ask for them. And people will pay for that shit because >muh Fender
John Turner
There was a video on youtube where a guy played a $1500+ american strat next to a $150 squier strat and it sounded almost exactly the same lmao
>I'm sorry user, but the tonewoods are locked away safe in my tone vault next to my office. If you want to access the tone library you'll have to purchase a PRS Private Reserve guitar. I'm afraid that your, heh, alder.... body guitar isn't quite what we're looking for.

Aiden Wood
>far eastern plywood horseshit Its still just wood with bits of wire stretched across it. Why does it matter to you where it's assembled. Your shitty licks will be shitty no matter what you're playing.
Noah Sanders
also Fret King
also not the far eastern plywood shit ones

Have you played one of those Tribute guitars? The fingerboard isn't rolled over worth shit, it just goes NEDCK -RIGHT ANGLE - FINGERBOARD. And the fret finishing feels like it was done by a brain-damaged toddler, fret ends sticking out all up the neck. They feel horrible to play, the proper US built ones are a thousand times better made.
Nathaniel Butler
>just wood with bits of wire stretched across it
by that logic, a Squier Bullet is identical to a Martin acoustic or a pedal steel or a mandolin or a banjo or a fucking harp

Is Jeff Loomis an Albino?

Fuck off poor faggot. Shit guitars sound like shit and play like shit.
But only if it's in the rare Chinese oak with curly quilted tiger striped birch fretboard and unicorn dust encrusted maple top.

that gold would actually look great if it was a black finish
Andrew Martinez
I'd never buy a guitar with gold hardware, as soon as that shit starts to wear off it looks cheap and nasty
Jack Torres
And the whole time he's watching the security footage and acting like a cocky asshole telling jokes that aren't funny and are more insulting than anything.

THE best shit right here
Alexander Williams
I prefer the single ply. Double and triple ply looks cheap.
Also, what's the best amount of screws?
Adrian Wilson
is it worth installing a pickup in an acoustic i already own or should i just buy a new acoustic with a pickup already installed
also what are hte best pickups for an acoustic
Aaron Gray
If it's a cheap shitty acoustic then you'd be wasting your money upgrading it. Better to buy a better acoustic that has a pickup installed.
Fishman and EMG do some pretty good pickups, pricey though.
Michael Foster
its a seagull s6, my gigging acoustic. little rough around the edges but still sounds good
Adrian Ross
Yeah, that's not a junk guitar. Trouble is there's three kinds of acoustic pickup, the undersaddle ones take a lot of work to install and the magnetic type don't always give you a good acoustic sound. The ones that are based on a microphone that sits over the soundhole work really well but they can be extremely expensive.
More helpfully, the Audio Technica AT831b gets good reviews.
Adrian Ramirez
that looks like something Guy Fieri would use if he were a guitarist
Carter Robinson
ill check em out
why do i see people with their soundholes blocked off?
Kevin Reyes
Stops a lot of feedback. You really want to get a soundhole block if you're playing acoustic on stage.
And never mic the soundhole, it'll boom like crazy. Best mic place for acoustic is usually right over where the neck joins the body.

yea ive heard 12th fret with mic angled a bit toward the soundhole
thx for the tips m8
Jayden Diaz
Another thing about undersaddle pickups, search youtube for a video on installing them. You've got to sand down the existing saddle by the thickness of the pickup and drill through the wood to take the pickup cable into the body. Not a job you'd want to do yourself probably.

Zachary Powell
When I position my fretting hand correctly, like image, it really hurts my wrist and thumb. Is it because I'm just not used to it?
Carson Diaz
yes
Nicholas Parker
yes take this guys advice and continue to force your hand into painful positions so you can develop tendinitis, carpal tunnel and a whole myriad of repetitive stress injuries
Logan Scott
> CurrentYear > not playing whichever set of rotosounds you like on your bass

What guitar is this?
Jordan Perez
Why haven't you got a duo sonic yet?

Never tried GHS on guitar but I love them on my bass. pic related
Brody King
I've had my bass for 9 years now and have ever put any set of strings on it that weren't Rotosound Swing 66s.
Austin Williams
>really hurts my wrist and thumb gotta be more specific than that im afraid
Noah White
I guess like where my thumb meets my wrist at the back of my hand
Gabriel Moore
i generally dont like gutiars without individual tone/volume controls. i tolerate it on the telecaster because its the only guitar that can twang but otherwise i like to be able to have different rhhythm and lead pickup settings
Luis Harris
still need more information
William Sanchez
>he uses tone knobs
Adrian Williams
Cause strats are better
Asher Rivera
Like when I get to the low E string my thumb is so extended to stay under the neck to keep my fingers clawed over the frets that it hurts
Jack Morgan
> not disconnecting the tone knobs entirely
nigga please
Owen Ward
yea, sometimes i roll off the tone knobs a bit when i'm boosting the signal so it doesnt get too sharp
Gavin Butler
i still dont understand what you mean, try learning how to use your words in the future.
in general fatigue is normal. sharp or serious pain means something is wrong. try stretching and warming up, dont strain yourself. rome wasnt built in a day, you might just need to improve your flexibility
Adam Taylor
The fuck is wrong with you, I have a G&L asat special Tribute and it blows my Gibson away completely in terms of reliablity and it just generally sounds better than most Fender teles I have tried. Dont listen to this guy, buy a G&L tribute.
Jace Jones
Do metal pickup rings effect the magenets in the pickups the same way metal pickup covers do?
Jonathan Cooper
It's weird how many people manage to buy $200 guitars that are better than anything Fender or Gibson have ever made. You must be a really lucky guy, when I pick up cheap guitars they feel like shit. I guess Gibson have a lot to learn from Cort.
Gavin Foster
who fucking cares? I mean, who honestly gives a shit about his? what are you going to do, change pickup rings to get a different tone?
Grayson Hernandez
>He doesn't
Jaxon Scott
No, Im trying to change pick up rings because I don't like my current ones. Are you a retard?
Camden Gutierrez
>who cares if metal pick up covers effect your pickups man it's not like you got the guitar yo make music it something
This is how fucking stupid you sound. Why the hell wouldn't someone worry about if putting something that is fucking magnetic right next to their pickups will effect the pickups? You understand how pickups convert the vibrations of the magnetic metals in your strings to a signally that your amp makes it's sound from right?
Justin Price
Go ahead, put pickup rings made out of nickle on your guitar. Even better don't ground them. I'll wait.
Isaiah Morales
Perhaps you're not familiar with Faraday's law of induction.
The induced electromotive force in any closed circuit is equal to the negative of the time rate of change of the magnetic flux enclosed by the circuit.
CHANGE OF magnetic flux. That means the magnetic body has to be moving in a magnetic field to inducve a current in the conductor. No movement = no affect on the voltage.
Xavier Sanders
>I can hear the difference when I put metal pickup rings on a guitar
No. You can't.
Jaxson Russell

Jacob Jenkins
>Even better don't ground them wouldn't they be connected to the pickup's baseplate through the pickup screws? assuming humbuckers or tele w/ metal baseplate
Xavier Collins
buy a capo
Isaiah Edwards
i have a shubb deluxe and two keyser capos
Noah Rogers
>fucking magnets how do they won't
Depends like you said. On humbuckers it would be there but not a very good connection. On teles people have grounded their pickup rings to avoid this issue.
Pickup covers are soldered to the base plate of the pickup on humbuckers yet you can still hear the change.
Who said anything about inducting a current. It changes the field changing the way the field interacts with the strings. It's why there is a change in tone from pickup covers despite the pick up cover not moving. No one is talking about the rings generating sound themselves besides you.
Luckily for us we have brass pick up rings that can be plated with other materials like nickle and chrome so we don't have to deal with this shit.
