Gonna order a Mustang for a poverty kit I'm putting together, black or sparkly as fuck blue?

Also amp recs.

How the FUCK do you even play that if you're a handlet like me?

Unironically light blue.
>Inb4 le curco bane
It's the only color that fits a Mustang.

0-5 practice an hour before bed
6-9 no

>gratuitous male nipple

I just named both colors, at 149, a respray is a possibility.

alright, anyone here can recommend an cheap amp similar to the roland jc 120?

what should my next guitar be? i have a cheap strat copy but i would like either a tele or some kind of hollowbody

Is there a proper substitute for a VOX AC30 VR? As a modelling amp?

>been playing guitar for like 4 months
>already looking at new guitars (currently have a pacifica 112v)
I mean, it's handy to have a second one to keep in low tunings, right?
And I definitely need an acoustic guitar.
But having a bass guitar seems rad as fuck too.

Classic case of GAS.

...

Lab series l5

My $450 epiphone les Paul sounds gross and Id rather play my 10 year old Ibanez artcore hollowbody.
Should I sell the epiphone? Would anyone even fuckin buy it

I'm getting the idea that this pedal amp needs to be plugged and unplugged often enough to be annoying. One of the outputs should have been true bypass to the amp, but what do I know? They're the pros.

Does anyone know anything about repairing electrics? I have a 992 Antoria Foreign lying around and I want to give it a go, but it doesn't make any noise when I plug it into an amp (is the pickup fucked)?

>mfw I'm about to start the shitfest and no one can stop me

I would be very surprised if that Bullet is half-decent.

Does yours have the ProBuckers? Epiphone pickups got a lot better with the Pro series. You could probably get a least a couple hundred for it anyway.

Just a piece of wood

I have pic related. What, if anything, should I get to replace it? Are the new units significantly better, or should I just work on presets with this (the defaults are ass)?

Checked, but parts matter, unless you're buying it to make a frankenguitar, in which case all you need is a good neck.

So is a dining table but it would be a bitch to play.

Not sure of budget, but Squier Classic Vibe series is great for the money, and for semi-hollowbody, Ibanez Artcore is a good pick.

The construction of Squier guitars are fine
It's mostly the wiring and the soldering that's problematic the pickups are actually pretty decent

>had homosexual anal intercourse last night
>describes it as "fine"
look you degenerate queerbag if that shit don't make your blood pump your wasting everyones fucking time including your own. fine shouldn't even enter into the equation

Guys how do I into theory? I've been playing for two years and I'm technically proficient enough to play almost any song, even thrash metal solos or whatever, but I know fuck all about stuff like the CAGED system and it holds me back when I try to write songs.

Squiers can be good, but Bullets are not. Deluxe, Vintage Modified, and Classic Vibe are worthwhile. Standard, Affinity, and Bullet are not.

Affinity tele is literally the best thing they make and it's under $200

Bullet has a better tailpiece than the VM and better tuners.

60 Cycle Hum?

I kind of hate myself for liking how this looks as much as I do.

...

Katana

>$5,499

>how much is that Fender™ on the wall, sir?
>....
>...s-squiers can be good...

Oh, and they're only making 10 of each color. It's funny how Gibson thinks they're still an actual premium brand. Hopefully the Chinese start knocking off that design soon. That Olive Widow looks really neat in an ugly way.

>absolutelydisgusting.png

Oh, it gets worse.

>all these jelly cunts who can't afford an American made masterpiece taking a piss

D# Tuning Master Race Calling In >

I'm going to see them next month
[spoiler]it's C tuning, 3 steps down[/spoiler]

>that yellow binding
How can you have such shit taste

cry hard bitch nerd lmao

They did D# for a while, that's honestly why I shifted to the cult of D# tuning like 7 years ago.

what would be the next logical step after a 15watt combo? or what was your second amp?

That was my second, then I got a 40w ampeg bass amp followed by an 80w peavey bandit . Throw a 5w semi-tube rhombus and a honey-bun pocket amp in the mix somewhere.

My advice to you is anything Peavey. Marshall and Fender make great amps at low prices, but you need to really test those out first to make sure you can get the soudn you need (do that with the Peavey to), also, don't jog with watts, just because 20w or 30w are the next level up, don't short yourself, go for 40w+

Im fine bro, youre the one who has to live with that ugly ass piece of overpriced shit and defend it to your friends in person and strangers on the internet

>buckets of delicious tears
kek could you dial back the asshurt a smidge? we'd all appreciate it. thanks

>2014 filename

Man you need to move on. I feel bad for you.

Katana 100 can get pretty close

>I feel bad for you.

I heard that Gibson puts so many plasticizers in their nitro that it might as well be poly, is that true?

I normally hate gaudy ass guitars, but that thing is fucking prime. I would ironically gig the hell out of that.

a 75 watt mesa mark 4 head.

>I would ironically gig the hell out of that

>American made

>m-my c-c-cort is just as good as f-f-fender custom shop

>He fucking left the fucking band!
>HNNNNGH?!

>Fender custom shop
hahahaha

meal baby do you have any more cute ones like this one

How is that guitar in any way Hipster? PRS is probably the least hipster brand out there, other than maybe one of the superstrat joints

>How is that guitar in any way Hipster? PRS is probably the least hipster brand out there, other than maybe one of the superstrat joints

why does my 15w amp sound loud as fuck even when the volume is on 1 ?

open it up, and have a look inside, if there are are loose cables, that's probably your issue.
If not, then we're getting serious

Move your phone away from it

I was actually going to defend you until
>PRS is probably the least hipster brand out there
I don't think it's a coincidence that every PRS player is a douche. Not many play them and the ones who do feel superior for some reason.
I don't like say that word but If that's not hipster then I don't know what is.

For the record I hate PRS neck joints and the only model I like is the SE Torero.

>heh ..yeah I play a PRS
>heh... what the fuck do you play?
>...with LEGOS™ or some shit?

That's a beauty

Are you this retard?

This may be a big mistake, as it's /gg/ I'm asking, but:

How the fuck do I write Bebop ?!

I get the theory side of it, but I just can't get behind the rythm. I'm not talking about generic drony "look at these chromatics"-Bebop, btw.

Any Help ?

Peavey stereo Chorus

Learn all the notes. Learn that scales are certain sets of notes. Learn that chords are sets of notes within a scale. Learn that certain chords fit when played with certain scales. Done.

>cabinets
AC30 or bust
>distortion pedal
Duh.
>telecasters with humbuckers

Don't do this.

No need, I just sing in falsetto

welp time to buy only The Heritage then.

>he uses 0.11 strings
like a proud member of the male gender should do

My Alesis Multimix firewire is growing ever more temperamental in Windows 7 and I think I'll have to replace it soon.

What are some good USB interfaces? The Focusrite Scarlett series seems pretty popular, but is there anything out there that's better value?

You obviously picked the most gaudy looking guitar to troll with. Try harder next time.

go bare through line-in like a man.

imagine getting this triggered by romans years old stale bait

Jesus Christ Gibson, how long until that sack of shit Juszkiewicz kicks the bucket?

I'd give that a go but I need an XLR input for my SM57. The world needs to hear my drunk Stan Rogers covers.

You don't need a bass. Don't get another electric four months in. Maybe get an acoustic if you're still playing in a year.

Alright lads so I picked up my first guitar from a buddy who had one in his basement who never used it, a Cort SP-3 series (I presume) and some tiny Peavey amp and I've been messing around with them for about a month now.

Should I get a new amp first?
How do Squier Strats compare to Cort? Should I just save up for an actual Fender?

Focus on learning how to play you stupid idiot.

I haven't seen that guitar in ages.

>dat rigid as fuck enema tube

Save up for an actual fender.

that goes without saying but this guitar is beat to hell

normal people think of guitars like computer parts

they ask which is best, they read reviews, ask about if its a good idea to save up for it
they think of a guitars value purely based on its price and what kind of Brazilian rosewood its made of

its just funny how low tier your mentality is lol laughing rn

Stick with it for a year before you buy more gear.
