Wasnt there some dickhead on here a couple days ago calling himself president epiphone or some shit?
Man those ESP teles are looking pretty sweet.
Owen Stewart
The blacktop series is MIM and similar in price to the modern player series, maybe check those out.

Ayden Garcia
Thanks, it's really up to whether I want to spend the extra cash on a mim Fender over a Yamaha now.
Jace Martin
are firebirds junk

Aaron White
Is semi-hollow strat working with single-coils?
Josiah Rodriguez
yes
Kayden Lopez
How can I get the most out of this compressor? I'm using it for sustain and as a compliment to my big muff for that David Gilmour sound, but I've never used a compressor pedal before.
Matthew Jones
even with vintage weak ass pickups?
Julian Wright
They really are. That's why I'm getting rid of it

whoops, forgot pic
Brody Sullivan
Don't turn the sensitivity up too high
Camden Wright
Compressors are pretty much redundant when used with any kind of distortion or fuzz. IMO they're only useful for fattening up and evening out clean sounds (and I play clean or nearly clean all the time and leave my compressor on 100% of the time). What compressor are you using?
Grayson Collins
you replacing it or just selling?
Levi Roberts
Oh never mind, saw your pic. Dude it's a 2 knob pedal and 1 of them is volume. You should be able to figure it out :-/
Chase Cox
Sure, why not. Fender Japan makes one like that.
John Morris
Selling it to get a Tele or a high end Yamaha Pacifica
Jace Diaz
Isn't the point of playing clean that you can alter the dynamics of your playing much more which a compressor nullifies?
Jackson Evans
I forgot to bring my guitar to work so I can compare it to some Strats at the guitar shop afterwards. Should I go and play some Strats anyway?
Jose Brooks
>Japs This is disgusting.
Hunter Evans
Yamaha 611VFM is much more versatile than any Mex strat.
>Yammy is cheaper, more versatile with more or less same build quality >But MIM is a proper strat
If you want that strat sound and feel, than go with the Mex, they're great. The Yammy has name brand duncans in the form of a beautiful SP90-1n soapbar and a Custom 5 TB-14. You dont really see any humbucker/P90 combos, so for me that's an obvious choice.
People say yammys have no souls and just halfway cover everything well, but never do anything great. Absolutely fucking nonsense if ever I've heard it.
Brody Flores
Was just looking at these. Where are they produced?
Carson Green
I am curious what's the difference between a chambered body and a chambered body with F-hole.
Adrian Powell
Yes but he needs a compressor to mask his inconsistent picking intensity hahaha
Hudson Cox
Maybe a little bit less feedback on the non f-hole body ( an ES335 vs a Lucille for example) they would would otherwise sound nearly identical imo. Chambered bodies don't really have much of an acoustic presence.
Jayden Hernandez
Lucille signature is not the same as a ES335?
Zachary Bennett
eheheheheheehehe fuck you, buddy
Benjamin Gonzalez
It's more between a mexi Tele (either standard or HH) and a Pacifica 311H. I didn't consider the higher end pacifica... I have no clue to be honest.
Daniel Sanders
probably japan
Jason Collins
Light compression can even things out while still retaining most of your dynamics.
Anthony Parker
I was hoping so
Oliver Flores
i wasnt laughing at you friendly, you can't play
Liam Davis
That Yamaha is made in Indonesia.
Gabriel Morris
It has no f-holes
John Price
is it safe to buy a guitar off of ebay? I found an used mexican strat for 350
Robert Lewis
Any proof of that? What about the 311? Hmm
Kayden Morris
>David Gilmour can't play guitar
lmao @ your life
Alexander Carter
The price is right, get a good look at the pics? Will they take it back?
Nolan Barnes
Would a hollowbody (not semihollow) with no f-holes give less feedback, and have a richer sound than a semihollow?
Camden Price
Yamaha has factories all over the place just about, Japan, USA, Korea, Indonesia and Taiwan. Obviously the higher end and signature stuff is USA/Japan. Specially the 611VFM series would be Korea/Taiwan/Indonesia. I have also heard that Yamaha has Chinese factories for the low end budget stuff.
I really don't care where stuff is made because it all depends on the factory's production processes and post-production inspection and quality control. I've played some absolutely awesome Epiphones but also some absolutely awful cheap ass Chibsons. Just the same my Indonesian made ESP LTD played better than the 3 Les Paul fadeds I played from the 2016 batch. So country of manufacture doesn't mean anything to me.
I still think it's funny though that a Korean/Taiwan/Indo factory can make a high end instrument with high end name brand hardware for a reasonable amount, yet chinese labor houses owned by large conglomerate brands can't. I wonder what the connection is there...
Lincoln Brown
More often than not you will find lower end models from factories people usually hold in high regard to be of poorer quality than higher end models from cheaper eastern factories.
Ian Barnes
he got six pictures, all types of scratches and elaborate description of what he did with it, no taking back tho
Brayden Adams
Can you actually left a guitar body unfinished still keep it working?
Bentley Moore
It would have less feedback than a hollowbody with f-holes but still more feedback than any semi-hollow. I prefer the sound of a true hollowbody but it is less versatile than a semi-hollow.
Dominic Rogers
is chambered body with F-hole still semi-hollow?
Blake Butler
Stay away, you can find really nice one's for $300, if they won't take it back there's more wrong than they're letting on.
Angel Walker
>Is it Hollow? No >Is it Solid? No >Is it Partially Solid/Hollow? Yes >A synonym for partially is... Semi
Therefore yes
Aiden Gray
Semi is not a synonym for partially.
Brandon King
Technically yes, if you mean tone-wise it depends on how chambered. If it's something like this I would say yes definitely.
Jace Wilson
no I can't, since I'm in germany it's rare to see a used mexican strat that cheap
Christian Sullivan
For the less versatile part just get a Les Paul to cover the other side of the tonerange
Ian Ramirez
>only shit colours for mim Teles available .... Fuck this shit. I don't want a strat either. I think I'll just go for the Yamaha.
Liam Peterson
They say the chambered les pauls sound even better and richer than older les pauls Of corse it does, it is semihollow FUck gibson
Parker Cox
is that strat tremelo will naturally decrease the attack and make sound less harsh than hardtail?
Brody Martin
how are mustangs (the guitar not the amp) for somewhat heavier stuff? the guitar center in my little town doesn't carry them but I'm a fan of short scale guitars and wanna give one a try
Juan Thomas
My main gear. Just picked up the new acoustic a couple days ago, plays beautifully
Aiden Jenkins
Rate my tube amp's tone when Power amp not saturated (master volume on 11h) clyp.it/50e0nq0o
Liam Allen
>it's rare to see a used mexican strat that cheap That should tell you something, it's hard to say, repairs can be expensive. I'd worry about a broken, stripped or otherwise inoperable truss rod. How do the frets look?
Cameron Thomas
>Geiger counter Nice
David Gonzalez
No, properly set Strat trems should be indistinguishable from a hardtail.
Evan Fisher
Update: we made it through customs
Jayden Lopez
>Chicago >666 They got the zip right.
Nathan Howard
Can be fun, but most of the time it doesn't want to play ball, very finicky
Is there an essentials list for acoustic solo guitarist like Kaki King or something? I've recently got an acoustic guitar but I hardly listen to acoustic stuff and I don't know what songs to learn.
Evan Wood
Scratches don't bother me, It needs fretwork, possibly a refret, see my pic the frets should be crowned, some amateur took and leveled the frets without crowning, it'll never intonate correctly. The low E side of that fret is high.
Julian Campbell
thanks for the effort man. would you say it's worth for the price? or if not for how much
Isaiah Hill
$1800 for a Vox Cheetah
Do I do it?
Juan Perry
Not at all
Evan Butler
I wouldn't touch it in the states for any more than $100 +$200 for restoration. Take into consideration the cost of a refret or crown & polish if your lucky, but most of that fret is gone, where does that put you in terms of cost of instrument + work that needs to be done. Where does that put you in terms of other prices you've seen?
Jayden Scott
I responded to my own post.
Tyler Foster
That shouldn't happen. But you can't avoid resonance if it's not hardtail
Brandon Price
With strats, do you just feed the string through those holes in the back plate, up through the tone block and then out through the bridge? Or do you cut the string balls like a floyd rose and top load them?
Ive never played or even owned any kind of fender but I know the pain in the arse certain types of tremolos can be.
Levi Smith
Learn me how to bar chord, gg
Adam Phillips
Just keep practicing. Eventually all your fingers will go down as one shape
Zachary Rivera
>you just feed the string through those holes in the back plate yup
Charles Cook
Start with just your index finger barring all frets

It says it's a limited time thing but I thought they always did this? I go this deal back in January. Are they stopping doing the trade up 15% discount all the time or is this just some kind of fake sale?
Ryan Thomas
Cutting the string balls off for stringing a floyd isn't exactly a big pain in the ass.
Elijah Stewart
Yeah, doing this but even then i have to press so hard and even then the g string is silent
Asher Williams
Any of you use the BIAS amp sim? Is there a superior amp modeler?
Elijah Hernandez
Also roll your finger back a bit but make sure it's right up against the fret
Ayden Roberts
Compressed cleans are god tier for funk music.
Cameron Ramirez
the pentatonic scales are so nice...
Jeremiah Kelly
I'm wondering the same thing for my bass. I was going to try the demo of S-Gear today. It has pretty great reviews
