That image compression looks terrible. Anyways, I just sat in that pose myself with my foot under my butt successfully, so there's your answer. It's under her butt.

I actually installed staggered tuners and removed the string trees today. Not sure what to do about the holes though

Hi big fan of this general but let me ask a question if you guys don't mind: WHAT IN THE FUCK?!?!?

go hump your body pillow weeb

I see jazz basses in reference to anime and other Japanese culture alot, and I don't get it. You think they'd be more into P. Basses, which i feel are more of a definitive characterization of rock n' roll bass. Which, I feel would appeal to the Japanese obsession with American rock n' roll culture. Even the two best basses (imo) to come out of Japan, the Ibanez Blazer and Yamaha Broad Bass, are P. Basses. That being said one of these bad boys is on consignment at a local place, but the guy wants a hundred more than the last few I've seen sold online, and it's just a little out of my current price range to begin with. Then again, these don't come arou d everyday. What do?

Attached: 49004.jpg (1000x667, 577K)

i wish i had a body pillow
i like that headstock, but the deep red body with black pickguard dont really go together. i still think you should bite the bullet user

It's more of a dark brown in person, not very red. The color is officially called "traditional violin" or something like that. It looks very nice. It also plays very nice. Easy to move on the neck, very comfy, and surprisingly light for an early 80s P., yet still noticeably solid and sturdy. I plan on crossing my fingers that it doesn't go in the next few weeks while I get ahead on $

I like how strats feel but prefer the sound of a Les Paul, what do I do if I can only afford one guitar? Should i just lower the action on the les paul?

Get an HSS strat with a coil tap

A push/pull pot that switches between series and parallel wiring is better than a coil tap. Parallel = single coily tone without hum.

How similar are the tone's between a HSS strat and a les paul?

What a cute

Tone is a meme

all guitars sound the same newb

strat has more high-middle freqs and is more focused and clear
les paul is darker, sweeter and is a bit muddier and more bass-mid oriented
the difference is mostly due to different scale lengths

quit shitting up the thread

why does the strat looks so childish compared to the les paul

They usually come in solid, soft colors. LPs have more sophisticated finishes.

Who then? Sonico? Or ImasCGs?

Bought this in '06 for €1800. How much could I sell it for now, considering it's in pretty good condition except for 2 tiny scratches on the back of the body.
How hard do you think it would be trading this for a used american strat?

I like making demo songs for fun every now and then, I'll lay something down on drums and then some bass and piano, but I really suck dick at guitar. I know a few chords and scales, but they don't sound/feel musical if that makes sense. Best I can do is an Fmaj7 + C, but then I'm just alternating between those two chords going up and down the neck. It's boring, and I want to make metal, surf rock, and jazz, or at least something resembling music.

tl;dr Any hot tips on how to actually PLAY guitar?

Why is every review on poorfag guitars literally the same?

>i've been playing for over 30 years and this is the best playing guitar I own. Even better than my American made ones!
>these Chinese guitars get a lot of hate by guitar guru's, but they're just as good or better than any of them
>you'll go some to find better value than a Squier or Epiphone

Seriously these have to be paid or made up reviews right?

you could trade it for a deluxe. I guess a good price would be €1100-1000

The only real thing that isn’t subjective is the physical quality of it, as in, if it isn’t gonna break when you want to play it - then its not a problem.

Otherwise the cheaper guitars are the same fucken thing as any expensive buy, it just sounds different. Same with the “feel” of the guitar people always autismo about.

You could probably get a session guitarist for case of beer a night. Guitar is a pleb instrument.

There is much less difference then you think between the two once you upgrade hardware and have them setup. In fact, there's none.

>There is much less difference then you think between the two once you change all the things that are different

Yeah basically.
But what's all new hardware, pickups, and a setup? 500$?
The biggest difference is fretwork can be spotty and travelling in a container ship can do weird shit to necks and fret seating.

Let's apply this logic to a Fender Strat/Tele

>MIA used $800
And you still have a $300 MIM, so why?

Learn basic theory about chord progressions, everything start in progressions. Want to make something resembling music? Just fool around exclusively with chord notes at first

Then (for me) forget melodies and solos at first, all genres differences are mostly in the rhythm so listen to the rhythm of what genres you want to play at first

Better than buying a fucking squier and expecting to turn it into an American made guitar

i fucking hate nirvana. kurt was really fucking mediocrem nonsensical and depressed, dave grohl is probably a cool dude but a total idiot, the bassist is probably cool but low key as fuck with 0 personality and their label pretty much decided everything for them

i refuse to believe you didn't pay a guy to take that piece of crap off your hands

>he doesn't hire

no, in all seriousness now, what are you going to do with the $5?

I own it, but haven't used an expression on it yet. Great little delay though for the price if you want something basic. I imagine there's probably not much point to having it on exp unless you want to do some shoegaze shit.

Is this normal? The G string's completely worn flat where it touches the frets. Am I pushing down too hard, or is it time for new strings?

Attached: IMAG0702.jpg (3264x1824, 1.11M)

dunno, seems like a comfy thing, changing the repeat rate mid-play. dunno know tho

If you want to do that, get a delay with tap since it's much more practical then trying to pedal into it with exp.

well. fuck.

what's the point of using tap there?

no other reason besides it sounding cool.

what is the difference in sound to a legato?
