So my wife's son is really interested in guitar and I'd like to get him one for Christmas. Any suggestions? Budget is 5 grand

squire jazzmaster

buy him an amp and a guitar. Buy the biggest amp you can. The bigger the better. Buy him an electric guitar with active pickups and only one volume knob.

>5 grand

How about a guitar?

if he's into dicks, you could buy him a jcm900 and a strat with a humbucker on the bridge. Nothing says I love cum better than that. Maybe if you add a Dean.

If my only guitar is a Telecaster and I want to expand my range of tones, what guitar should I be aiming to buy next? Les Paul? Strat? A Strat with Humbuckers?

Lmao

Les Paul

He probably never plays most of those guitars. What's the point?

is that filtertrons on the pink burst at the left

LOL

youtube.com/watch?v=0mV64Ox_7ek

thats actually purple, mate
but yeah those are filtertrons

how not lose your shit and your ability to keep a beat while playing guitar for a jerky singer-songwriter in front of 5 people and knowing that half the songs you've learned earlier that day

wut

youre blind man

whats not clear

nah its purple, pink is lighter and more red

that guitar is more red than the purples at google images but yeah its darker than usual pink

>whats the point in owning things

Mayones?

Because it's a Slash-owned guitar, it's probably worth more $$$, in case he ever needs quick cash

The perfect camera angle to hide that silly headstock.

Do headstocks really matter?

Like user said, there's a big bump in value:

guitarbroker.com/product/1972-fender-stratocaster-yngwie-malmsteen-personal-axe/

Jesus Christ, can they all really sound and play so differently? This is a mental disorder

This one isn't so bad. It is better than the similar Jackson headstock.

What do you think is the best headstock? I've never thought about it much

And the silliest headstock award goes to:

Okay, picture this. I am a professional 3x5 card maker. People are willing to pay 100x more for 3x5 cards that I've signed. I will buy as many 3x5 cards as I can, sign them, and make tons of money as long as people are willing to spend 100x.

Just bought a 100$ uku online can i strum it like a guitar or is it a different technique? Also it's a tenor one so can i tune it in DGBE or do i have to stick with GCEA?

Looks like an elf shoe

>have this guitar
>headstock broke off
>headstock by itself weighs like 5 pounds
Who could have foreseen this

I always think of these:

*wild Steinberger appears*

Classics like the Explorer or Eddie's Kramer banana; Yamaha's Flying Samurai. So something phallic that makes other guitar players cower when they see it and compare.

Is orange sparkle a gay colour?

Also, is it crazy to buy a guitar online without playing it?

That's a lot of creamy strats

why?

damn. that's actually looks nicely fitted.

Depends on the guitar and no. 4 out of my 6 guitar purchases were online and used (reverb) and I'm really content with them. It's all luck tho so ymmv

You could fall over and impale yourself

Wow. At least Yngwie has an assortment of doubles, lefties, acoustics, etc.

I thought Mark was Strat guy

Yeah it's actually his signature series not his personal collection

To make money faggot

Sometimes he likes the Paul. He played one on Money for Nothing.

these are quite expensive aren;t they

That looks expensive

Not if you compare it to a nice violin, double bass or harp. Life is short and you only live once.

Starting at 5 grand
Perfect for your wife's son

but those are musical instruments. Electric guitars are toys.

About 50 fender squiers will do

Very true. I guess when you put it like that anything over say, $1,000 is overpriced for an electric guitar. Acoustics are a different story

>007
>you only live once
I thought it was twice James

I really don't understand why guitar players insist on revisiting the past when it comes to their instruments. Those tones are tired and outdated. They sounded good for a time for why not try to create something new, something that hasn't been done before?

I like the Les Paul Custom headstock, it has that nice diamond logo

Tele with a different pickup config

It looks like a moustache

People are willing to pay big money to recapture classic tones. It's not just guitars though, eg. you see a lot of 70s and 80s "vintage" synths going for a fortune these days.

Get on my level, pleb.

>not wanting a moustache on your headstock

Is Buzz Feiten a scam?

No, he's a man

It's not gay if you like it. But personally I don't think it looks very good. And no, as the other guy said, it's not crazy.

>tired and outdated
I bet you say the same thing about classic cars too, soyboy

how to make sure that doesnt happen again

Girlfriends co-worker gave me this. Harmony H802? I have to replace the nut, theres a chip in the fretboard, and a slight crack in the headstock.

Is this repairable or should I just get a new neck? The electronics work just fine.

>soyboy

Why do I keep seeing this all of a sudden?

You must have been gone for a month. It’s the cool new meme.

Annoying, right?

I'm getting two

Give this guy some super gay strap ideas: Personally, I think pic related is pretty gay.

72 deluxe

>red white and blue guitar strap
>gay
Fucking commie.

>non-intonatable bridge
Trash.

Would you rather me call your feminine ass La Croix boy?

Can I just become technically proficient without all the music theory and just learn tabs like an autistic robot I am?

You can do without tabs as well and just play by ear but what's the point of learning something if you're not gonna learn anything? Music theory is fun.

Well, I am from the socialist country at your northern border.

>implying
The cross? I'd rather you not think of my ass at all.

Can I be dumb for playing by ear too? I easily confuse notes if there is anything heard in the composition, besides the melody Im trying to guess.

What kind of guitar do you play?

Also playing by ear doesnt mean much if I can't physically reproduce what I hear.

I'm locked in a church for today by myself and I found a room where it looks like they play music. I found out how to get the speakers to work and it's a blast

what are some albums with basslines that will hurt my fingers?

explain yourself. With pictures.

Anything by The Who

I'm not really locked in but I'm gonna be here all day using the wifi to download some things on my Xbox. My mom works here so everyone is cool with it.

Jackson SL2 USA

Grab the acoustic and get some practice.

You don't mess with someone elses gear without permission.

You know it!
They should thank me next time they see me. It sounds like it hasn't been tuned in years.

If you're a member of the congregation, I say get your godly groove on! Can I get an amen?

I hope someone breaks into your houses and steals everything you own.

Everyone is welcome in God's house. How do you not know this? Are you a.. heathen?

>*Knopfler picks up Chibson"
>"What the fuck is this shit?"

Amen brotha!
