my american pro strat with a humdinger in the bridge is the only valid strat configuration dudes. this first class amp with its deep and rich tones makes my tummy rumble, the perfect combo between them makes my bowel movements come out super smooth with barely any friction or resistance. if you don't try this at least once you're a fraud guitarist

oops misquote

i laffed


fuck off

PRS are cute. CUTE!

fuck off

I really want one of these

Another Fender I'e never heard of before... The Rascal!

i don't actually like the birds that much but everything else about it screamed for me to buy it so i did

post pic for a poorfag

the red pic is the one i bought, it's on the way

God, what happened to jcm recently ?

*plays sonic youth*

vocaroo.com/i/s1wMs5fXMjxI

opinions?

did kim use one? that's pretty neat.

>Guitar Techniques entry level gear

no, it just has these indie alternative vibes

FUCK YOU I DIDN'T WRITE THIS !

Who is putting out the best quality guitars today?

my moms boyfriend got mad at me the other day. my guitar playing and extremely loud amp was ruining his jungle beats. I apologized right away, obviously, life is so hard when your moms boyfriend hates rock n roll music and always tries to get you into hip hop. he even bought me beats by dre. anyway, I can't practice guitar or he'll break down my door and make me listen to hopsin or kendrick again, so I just shitpost on /here/ instead. sorry for unloading all my home life drama. I really feel bad about it but, you don't mind me being here right /gg/? I promise from now on to behave and keep my shit opinions to myself.

On another note, has anyone else experienced a sharp pain in their .... "behind" when sitiing down to smack out some good ol' rock tunes ? Is it just me ?

I like your tone. You should work on your rhythm and timing though. Maybe practise playing to a metronome.

PRS

what happened to your lightswitch cover?

Bought an Aria as my first bass because of Cliff.

I miss that bass. Was a good bass.

Which one is the better color?

left

right

hi guys can you please give me some attention please

right has better colour, left better fretboard.

right has better fretboard
left has better body color

ok

stop posting under my name

no you stop posting under my name

fuck off already

you're making me mad. real mad

left needs either a pearloid or tortoise shell pickguard. right is very pretty but might be nicer with the mint green pickguard off the other.

no you fuck off already imposter

FUCK YUOU ! imposter !

not me !

oooooooo i'm getting so frustrated guys.

why do all these faggots find it so funny to post under my name. get a life dweebs

Hey, about those 8 strings, I think im starting to like them ...

Just put a fucking trip on and be done with it.

okay

fine here. now i wont be so flustered anymore.. sigh... phew

i hate you people

no i will not reduce myself to tripfaggotry

then fuck off

Now there's fucking three imposters. Are you actually trying to get me mad you stupid cunts?

The surf green one on the right. And screw user's fretboard comment. Maple neck doesn't mean it plays better.

oh poo. these people won't leave me alone. my moms is yelling at me to turn my amp down again. oh poo

just fucking stop Roman this is pathetic

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT.
I
WILL
NOT
HAVE
IT
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

frick off roman

Oh,you are the bassbreaker guy. Good on you mate

i like to ruin every /gg/ thread with my massive faggotery xD

I kind of like this one. I wish their scale length was a hair longer though.

MODS MODS MODS!!!!!

>The absolute state of this general

FAKE ! FAKE AND GAY ! LEAVE ME ALONE !!!!!

hey have I ever mentioned i have a superior 1990s jcm900?

faygot detected

...

Rate my rig.

Not a good look

numale/10

manlet amp/10

fuck you. I don't say """manlet"". Step up your game.

not a strat with a humbucker in the bridge/10

making me constipated just looking at it/10

oh noes! I forgot to hide my name when making this post!

I have been accused of being a numale.

More like appartment dweller amp. Getting even close to tube tone in an appartment is hard.

sorry, misquoted:

couldn't afford a pickguard/10

What the Christ is that awful hole and where is your selector switch cap?
Also no pickguard. Disgusting.

everyone pretending to be me is roman unless timestamped with dick pic

>Getting even close to tube tone in an appartment is hard.

But roman still has a dick (for now)

> flat fingerboard radius (16 inches)
> small frets

Holy shit this feels amazing. Why is this such a rare combination? I've always liked the feel of a flat fretboard but I've never like jumbo or extra jumbo frets, and it seems like they're the standard on flatter fretboards

Awesome, thanks for getting a trip and making it easier to filter your posts.

That hole is under your pickguard too. The switch tip fell off and the pickguard warped so bad I took it off. I plan on replacing both of those soon.

Why the hell did they put a hole there?
Do it ASAP user, it looks like shit like that.

Anyone here use very thick strings for their guitars? I needed a "thicker" sixth string for the specific tunings that I use (.56 or .52 gauge apparently).


How do the sound compare to "lighter" gauges? Would it make the sound brighter if I exclusively fingerpick? If I like tapping, would it hinder my tapping abilities? I'm used to "regular" or "light" strings.

Should I worry about my guitar arching if I put thick strings when I used to use "regular" or "slightly thick" gauges? I don't even know what gauges I use, I just know they're not that thick. A luthier already calibrated my 2 guitars some months ago.

Fender put a hole their, friendo. I've actually grown accustomed to it looking like ass.

>everything about this post

Almost got me roman.

You need to adjust the truss rod tension and, if you have a tremolo, the balancing springs. Intonation as well, and possibl the action. In short, if you change string gauges, get the guitar set up if you can't do it yourself. Keep track of which gauges you use.
Bending will be harder and sliding will take its toll on your calluses. Tapping shouldn't be more difficult if the guitar is set up properly.

oops. I forgot to fill out the name field. oops

anyone have days or weeks when you pickup your guitar and its like you have never played a guitar in your entire life?
like you can't form anything resembling what you normally do on it?

what the fuck
makes me want to smash all my fucking shit

even my amp and guitars don't sound normal like theres something fucked with the pickups or something

i hate all of you

Yeah I get it that Fender put it there, but WHY?

I have the opposite thing. Sometimes I pick it up despite not having played in a while and I just play and play and it sounds and feels amazing and I can play whatever I hear in my head.

i get that sometimes when I have a hormonal imbalance, or if all the blood is absent from my brain, fingers and rushing to my sphincter muscles

oops, forgot to turn the trip on

It's called "being shit"
