Wow that was actually really good. I went in expecting a shitpost so that was a good surprise. Now I wanna here trying your luck

>it is indeed
k den

plz help
I'm mostly looking for feel and ease of play for the guitar over sound quality (as long as it isn't complete dogshit), so that's mostly subjective and something I'll have to test, but I don't know what alternatives to test in the ~$300 price range. Any other options I could consider would be appreciated.

Yes it's got a very thin, fast neck. It's the best guitar in that price range imo. They have really good QC, and because Yamaha doesn't have the brand power Fender or Gibbons does, they're pretty underpriced relative to other brands.

Samuel Campos dos Santos Montoya.

How does it compare to the squier mustang bullet? Does it edge out fender in the pickup/trem department or something?

Yeah I don't even really need that sound but at that price you're basically paying Behringer prices anyway. I think I'm going to get it. This is what they look like on the SMT, is it bad? I never did get much learnin done.

>This is what they look like on the inside*

lol had a bit of a Sam moment there

Would you say the Yamaha still beats the Jackson when it's on sale for $280? It's normally 360, and the yamaha is 210. I'm willing to pay more for the Jackson if it's a bargain at its sale price.
The Jackson JS42 is also on sale for $300 down from $400.
Would you still recommend the Yamaha?

lmfao that's not a smt circuit board dumbass and its not the pedal you'd be buying
>$60
just get a behringer or one of those shitty danelectro pedals for $25, you could have 3 pedals for almost the same price you'd be paying for that shitty dod

too late already bought it :^)

The meatbox I just bought from the same series has the same kind of circuit board, now I aint done much learning but i'm betting to wager that the Envelope Filter is the same.

Anything with dot inlays

key for the mega?

Shecters. They remind me of the middle school fedora wearers who were obsessed with them

i love my dot inlay sg with its thin finish wearing off or getting polished by my onions zoomer sweaty little hands

my understanding qc and playability is better in low end Yamaha guitars, especially things like fretwork, nutwork, etc. so you're more likely to get a guitar that plays pretty good with a cheap setup rather than having to get into fretwork and shit. never played either of those guitars. at that price range, specs are gonna be similar when it comes to tuners, pickups, etc. the most important thing is you get a guitar that doesn't have any major issues.

btw I have a Yamaha Pacifica 112 myself, it was my first guitar. still using it today 20 years later (upgraded it quite a bit though).

>tfw I just realized Sam will likely go throughout his entire life without ever touching a nitro finished instrument

Sad!

Attached: sad brazilian.jpg (612x407, 54.48K)

Go play them in person. Buying a guitar online is like buying shoes online. Might look amazing, but it’s hard to know how you’ll like it without trying it out first. Go with a talented friend or ask an employee at the gear shop to play while you try out the settings of the amp to see if the tone palette suits you.

>Captcha: vvvxv

what a shame, i can even lick mine and taste the naphtha aftertaste on the finish

My favorite thing about nitro is that when I accidentally bump it into something it becomes" well loved" or "honestly aged" instead of losing ton of it's value because the market for poly finished crap is all penny pinchers trying to out-gypsy eachother.

Just watching a video where a guy rants about how Jackson's QC has gone down the shitter.
youtube.com/watch?v=vlH4Aw0Ah20
I'll see what they have at the store, maybe they got duds, maybe not. The Pacifica does look like the most consistently good in the price range, so if the Jacksons are duds it's an easy buy.
Yeah, that seems to be the case. I'm getting a lot of conflicting info from reviews. Some say the JS series is great, others say it's complete garbage, and ultimately I don't know if I'll like it subjectively.
Damn, I was hoping there would be more options to check out when I get there, though. Maybe they'll have some decent used bargains. This price range isn't that great for options, but it seems like the Yamaha is a good ol' reliable to pick up if everything else is shit.

eh it depends on the model, the analog ones are 1-1 clones of the boss pedals so even at 60 youre still coming out on top
i got the EQ pedal, the orange fuzz, the purple drive and the tube screamer clone and theyre pretty beast (although I paid 20 bucks each for them)

Actually Isolated power blocks. Meaning

The only people that don't like those guitars are boomer LARPers I have literally never played a bad one, Ive heard boomers say that if its a bolt on neck it's not a real guitar while strumming cowboy chord bullshit you literally cannot take an old man's word seriously when it comes to guitars.

just corporatists being corporatists, making demand where there is none

oh ok so it was just classic poorfag seethe instead i should have known

If I can find the head for the same price as the 50w I'll definitely get it since I mostly just use headphones, anyway, but the extra features I won't really need and I can't justify the extra cost.
I should be testing it out tomorrow, so moment of truth then. I'm not a purist, and I care most about functionality/feel, so hopefully it's what I'm looking for. I just want a speedy fucker that feels like butter.
If that issue is just cosmetic, I'm fine with it. As long as it doesn't turn into a tele I couldn't care less.

if it's rosewood fretboard it probably doesn't have a finish, you're just a fat pig.

The heads usually go for like 250 used so there really shouldn't be an issue there, and what you're describing is basically what the JS series is. cheap, speedy fuckers that punch way above their weight class. i only changed the bridge out on mine because i like shiny stuff

In 30 years when you are old, these babies will be hugely sought after and go for tens of thousands of dollars. Honestly probably sooner than 30 years. 10 years.
