I would never buy them new, but I can't hate the instruments themselves now.

but you still a fender guy?

Only the Poorfa/gg/ Bri/gg/ade™ cries about Gibson™. You won't ever find a real player who objects to a good Les Paul.

yeah pretty much

Not really, fell out of love with companies, they all have their faults.
Guitars and other instruments are worth going dumb for, but not the companies themselves.

>You won't ever find a real player who objects to a good Les Paul
*blocks your path*

Just buyed a Gibson SG Special 2017 for about 860 $ (730 €)

worth buying?

I was checking them out, from thomann right?
I like the configuration, but can't decide between that one and the faded.
I wanna get one before they change from rosewood to whatever else comes.

*then plays a Gibson™ Les Paul*

>only plays a Gibson when forced to
literally guitar rape

Gibson is rape, Fender is consensual sex

>tfw the mere sight of my Gibson 335® makes the Poorfa/gg/ Bri/gg/ade™ convulse in hysterical tears

>Only a Gibson is good enough
Only chink quality is good enough? You set the bar low

That is a really nice way of thinking

>you will never bang out a few tracks with clario

why even live bros?

youtu.be/_4vRX4S16BE

I've been playing guitar for like 10 years but this song makes me want to buy a bass, that dude is putting down some nasty lined

>lined
Meant lines

How can someone be this picky?

I think guitarists or bassists (same for other instruments) should be acquainted at least with the full range in their respective area of "expertise". So, say, guitars are stringed but tempered instruments, a guitarist imo should know their way around bass and then something higher in pitch than a guitar, so you cover low, middle, and higher registers. Be an expert in one, but get yourself familiar with the "family" of instruments, it helps expand your music.

Post your pedal set ups. What do you guys think of mine?

retard here, is it possible to learn bass by just using the top 4 strings on my guitar?

like sure it won't sound the same with lighter weight strings or whatever but the same principles apply, right?

You can put bass strings on your guitar

4/10

Ditch the ShitiTech and Blaahinger and we'll talk.

Yup

Yeah it's possible but the feel is very different due to the gauge of the strings and width of the frets, so the playability will be different.

Also be mindful that on bass you'll generally be playing one note at a time, and that some passing notes you'd think sound good on guitar, would not sound good on bass due to the lower frequency

Because it's not obvious that I meant lines, cool it with the autism

>brother is buying a Harley Benton LP clone
Do I need to talk him out of it?

It is your moral resposibility to do so

Yeah but he's been playing for over a decade while I've only been at it for a few months so I feel a distinct lack of authority to talk him out of it.

needs more reverb

If you don't, you'll end up in hell. He should know better

got reverb in the amp

yes Thomann

this one in particular is out of stock now, I think I bought the last one

Do you use it as a volume or expression pedal?

>Ditch the ShitiTech and Blaahinger and we'll talk
If I need to ditch them, then I will need other OD pedals to replace them. Any suggestions? Also, these are the only two pedals that I got for free from friends.

i like condor guitars

>Any suggestions?
Replace the Behringer with the pedal it's cloning, the Boss Blues Driver.
Replace the Digitech with the Ibaninez Tube Screamer
>these are the only two pedals that I got for free
You get what you pay for

Welp, guess it'll be the faded b stock then.

I'd say the bad monkey can be kept, but yeah I'd go Blues Driver instead of the Behringer, or get a Soul Food, and you can stack Soul Food and Bad monkey to punch nicely.

you like it without condom in your ass

Not unless he can afford anything better, Harley Benton is one of the best brands you can buy for the price

yes convince him to buy an ibeenhad LP 1980 "lawsuit era" instead

Why didn't anyone reply to the OP? clairo is a top qt

>There are people in this thread who unironically think American made guitars are inherently superior to Japanese guitars

>inherently
No

But they usually are better

guys what is wrong with this guitar?

I don't see the problem here. What's wrong?

The major US guitar brands have been garbage lately though. Maybe even for over a decade. Every American Standard Strat I've tried has been shit. And don't get me started on Gibson holy shit. Aside from maybe the 2016 T series.

for starters that guitar have rusty strings which is no bueno.

the bridge part of e string looks weird and it is hard to play cords with e string

Oh. You just have to rotate the saddle a little. You'll have to slack the string or take it off. Looks like you should change strings as they look pretty worn down

high e is off

>the only American brands are Fender and Gibson
Go away

the intonation screws are missaligned

Looks like you'll have to adjust/rotate it with an umbraco. Also, still change your strings

string buzz one high e
string is actually touching the pickup
lower the pickup first then adjust saddle hight

Caline Pure Sky. $30 Timmy clone. Sounds exactly like a Timmy because it literally is a Timmy, electronically, except for boost/cut knobs instead of cut only knobs and it's missing the diode selector.
It's a transparent overdrive, meaning it doesn't change the tone when the tone knobs are at 12 O'Clock. It's true bypass and the OD is smooth as silk.
I've owned all the pedals being suggested here, Blues Driver, Tube Screamer, Soul Food, and this $30 Chinkshit pedal blows them all away. I'm dead serious. Get two and stack them.

brb changing but i still don't understand how am i going to adjust the bridge

Don't change them until you've fixed the saddle. Adjusting after putting on new strings may fuck up the strings

>Usually
Maybe in a world where Gibson isn't the biggest guitar manufacturer

no you cant

I haven't seen anyone play a Gibson in the wild in like 8 years.

I suggest you stop jamming at Guitar Center and go to some shows.

it looks good without strings do you think i can adjust the saddle or should i get help?

do you think this video will be helpful youtube.com/watch?v=0R6W0Jp6k1g

i don't want to smear

That video is useful, yeah. All you need is to adjust the saddle until both sides are balanced

Hey maybe you guys could help me.
I'd appreciate it

oh fuck i got it now there is little screw things on the saddle.

hope i can find something to turn them thank you

No problem

lol I learned bass using a busted guitar that only had 4 strings and was downtrend to all fuck

lookin good now i have to adjust it while properly

the e string came out rusty from the package

how to git gud at sweep picking and arpeggios

...

now tap the harmonic of the 12 fret high e must sound e

Reminder that your guitar will sound better if you intonate the 3rd fret to the 15th fret or the 5th fret to the 17th fret rather than intonating the open string to the 12th fret.

you will sound even better if you actually practice instead of seeking shortcuts

>Major

Do you know what this word means?

I'm looking for the word "major" in this post that I was replying to

Can you find it?

>PRS, Ernie Ball, Taylor, Collings, etc.
the list goes on and on in quality american manufacturing . you're just a retard is all no biggie

>gold top
>not minibuckers or p90s
>vomits in mouth

soundcloud.com/samuelcfaria/mr-tambourine-man

Suhr or Anderson?

G&L

Nobody talks about amps

99% of the tone comes from amps

condor

my fender jaguar is making every noise possible. I'm thinking of selling it but it feels great to play. Are the Mastery bridge/vibrato really necessary, and helpful? They're kinda pricey so I don't really want to drop that much just for something that wont fix the bridge buzz and vibrato rattle

How the hell does someone play this?

with their hands and fingers obviously.
