SB as in sandblasted. It was a special run they did a while ago. No mods, I love the pickups. All I did was change the pickup covers and knobs from black to cream. I like this look a lot better than all black.

Bought it on my own dime. Skirt would get in the way of the cases underneath that i use constantly. Cry more jealous fag. I'm sure your shitty Ibanez is just as good.

Nope your wrong all black always looks best

*you're

And btw, this is what I play my 80s butt rock fiddly widdly on. Any real man would know that.

Hate ibanez I hate thin necks they sound like shit ..I like a nice girthy neck like my fender usa custom shop 52' Tele b bender or mid 2004 warwick thumb baseball bat neck

Mines put up right now, but it's also a Gretsch single cut hollowbody. It's a 5120 in black.

You are gay and I bet you can't even set up your own guitars let alone play anything that sounds remotely good..you have no rhythm ..you have no chops

Op only plays the skin flute hahaha

Awww. Gimme a kiss :( It's okay. Maybe someday you'll have a guitar that's half as nice as my shittiest one.

See now we have some common ground. That tele prabably sounds immaculate. I love the classic Tele neck pickup.

My Gretsch is only semi-hollow. It's a bitch trying to find a case for the damn thing as it's Korean made and thinner than most common hard cases available.

Lol all your guitars are made overseas ..I only play American made guitars you know quality made intstrument with peferctly leveled crowned and polished frets with and properly dried top of the line wood with pickups made in the usa or uk by hand..but that probably didn't matter because you don't even know how to set your relief or lower your action with major fretbuzz because you buy shitty foreign made guitars lol

I have lollar 52 Tele set in it

Tell me about that amp. Is it emulating vintage fenders or dumbles or something? I dig the surf green look.

Attached: 1232666953995.jpg (428x572, 53K)

Strings going straight after the nut helps sustain and staying in tune by decreasing pressure and friction at the nut

It's a handwired clone of a late 60s era blackface twin. I had it made for me after Fender's Twin Reverb repros kept shitting out on me because of their crap printed circuit boards. It's a great amp, but to be honest I imagine you can get similar value for less money if you look harder than I did.

Yeah I also own a Ibanez and hate it. It's worth shit so I'm not selling it yet.

You just proved you have no idea what you're talking about. Take a look at the Strat. It's American, dumbass. And yeah, I do actually do all my own setups. Even with a Floyd. So now that you've proven you have no credibility, kindly shut up.

Pound for pound, I think Ibanez is the worst brand out there. I feel like they are almost exclusively played by dime store metalheads who think they are Pantera.

Do you gig a lot? I have a princeton myself, but I know a lot of people who have TRRIs that have worked perfectly for years.

What are you running for speakers?

I have no weapon.

Used to. Band disintegrated. The initial plan was to run the brownface voiced side as a keyboard preamp for some ambient backing shit I was writing while I learned to play piano and to use the blackface side for my typical rhythm playing, but I'm mostly recording solo with a DI these days so it doesn't see as much use as it did. I'm currently running two WGS G12Cs, but I am likely going to experiment in the future once I get the funds together. The amp shipped with smooth cone speakers but I didn't end up liking them. Too dark.

As for the DRRI, idk what was wrong with this run. The first one I had, the reverb tank crapped out on the first day. The second one I had Guitar Center ship in was DOA, no sound out of the box. I forced them to refund me after that.

*TRRI, rather. They had a surf green DRRI in stock that I almost bought, but the natural distortion kicked in at too low a volume at that wattage so I ended up giving it a pass.

Wow, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize using corny slang for kicks was such an unforgivable sin. Teach me, oh wise arbiter of music and culture.

Deluxe reverbs are some of my favorite fender amps, aside from the vibroverb reissues. I tend to play low output single coils though so I haven't had any issues with headroom.

Bummer about the Twin issues. Shipping in amps can be pretty sketchy. What kind of music are you playing?

No pics right now but I've got a warlock and a Dean. The warlock is super fuck to play, the Dean is a nice second guitar.

I don't play as much as I should anymore.

Garage rock and light indie rock, mostly. I've been writing in a more dark surf direction lately, but I haven't tried that stuff in a live setting yet so I don't know how well it will go over at the end of the day.

What's a decent starting guitar

Fuck

Break them out, man. I was stuck in a rut until I forced myself out of my typical patterns and began writing again.

Mexican Fender. Lots of variety in tones depending on model and decent quality control. Epiphone ain't bad if you have small hands like me, as Gibson style guitars have a shorter scale length.

I'm a Rachmaninoff guy personally. Isle of the Dead is great.

You know, I honestly didn't know you could even get a keytar anymore.

it's a niche fucking market, I'll admit but there's a good community. Roland is the brand to get. They have an active community that keeps up with sound mods you can load into various synths. It's technically a synthesizer for all intents and purposes. The Edge as pictured here is actually new as of last September. I fucking love it. Only downside I've found is that there aren't a lot of mods for it yet.

I am honestly convinced that the classical masters have voiced every humanly possible permutation of the expression of notes. All we have left to express is variations in timbre and tempo. Liszt isn't human.

I've really only heard it in the context of bad 80s pop. How is the keytar used these days?

dat jazz tho

like this youtu.be/iwMfZTPbFoo?t=123

This guy is so fucking good at the keytar he's in several bands, including Sonata Arctica (my favorite.)

I hate to say most youtube examples I can find are live versions, but the short answer is Metal lol

youtube.com/watch?v=7j97bS_0aGQ

I respect the execution and skill, but this style of music definitely isn't for me. I find it very melodramatic. That's not to say that I could easily play it, because it's honestly way beyond my skill level, but still I find it kind of silly all things considered.

Troof. There is a fine line between avante garde and aimless noise though.

It's a little out of context compared to jazz, but Greg Dulli is someone I really like for his music. Twilight Singers and Afghan Whigs are very nice. Kind of a blues/rock feel.

>I find it very melodramatic
that's an understatement lmao

You can do a lot more with a synth than what you see here. The keytar is a synth, but the keytar is definitely a showman's version of it. You can get hundreds of quality sounds out of it. You can compose, record and create full songs if you've got the skill and patience. I thoroughly enjoy a lot of the violin/organ/flute sounds that the edge offers. Lots of beautiful, chill music can be played with it.

I see you dig the Les Paul. Which one is your favorite? I recorded my (mediocre) album on a 2012 American Studio LP. Served me admirably for years.

That's part of the reason why I'm trying to learn piano. I'm currently playing keys in a punk/ska band, and I've been able to use my natural ear to pick out chords and triads and fake my way through, but I am planning to branch out into deeper textures once a get a better foothold.

Mainly used for reggae and ska.

had to sign an nda tho, so i can't talk about it, lol

nah, fist in the air in triumph. Owning a keytar has been a real dream of mine for fucking decades. It's the culmination of all my musical skill, and it felt like the next logical step in my musical journey in life.

Within 5 minutes of having it plugged in and turned on, it just felt so fucking right, playing the melodies I know how to play. Having fun with all the little effects, it felt like I had been flying after years of only imagining how flying would feel.

Can't post mine. Yea Forums and their file limits

Lower the resolution

It's not what one would consider a "real" Gretsch. But a couple of years ago they came out with their midrange Electromatic line that is made in Korea. It costs around $800 rather than the couple of grand the American ones do. The Korean ones play like a dream though, but I wasn't in love with the pickups so I swapped in some TV Jones.

Pretty good. Has nice humbuckers which give a pretty warm tone and a great finish on it. Definitely recommend it.

Is anyone interested in ska? I've become a big fan of latin ska recently and a lot of guitar players think it sucks.

youtube.com/watch?v=4zZVJNiOUf8

Yeah i heard it few times, it really has a great sound and it seems pretty decent. What i'm more interested is how is your left hand work on it? Pretty smooth or you would require extra work to move it? And how much you got it for?

The left hand work is pretty smooth at least that is what I think. I got it for about 400 off of the ESP website. Also it is a little heavier but not very noticeable.

Most people think if you aren't noodling or showing off then you aren't good. This is decent music and I like the guitar tone. Solid bite in the chuck, all the notes in the chords are clear, but it's not overly piercing or distracting. It's not my favorite example of ska, but I have absolutely heard worse.

Thanks mate, i really hope things go well for me. It's a pretty decent guitar for that price.

I really enjoy playing rhythm much more than playing lead but a lot of people look down on that shit and it's really fucking sad.

Well he repeatedly sent his troops into disadvantageous situations and threw hissy fits whenever tactical retreat was suggested. Regardless of your feelings on race and politics, he was a fucking tantrum throwing retard when it came to having actual common sense.

Don't worry about it. A solid progression and an interesting hook, whether that be a vocal melody or otherwise, is far more important than technical chops. Just look at bands like Rancid or The Specials.

The gibson was $300 with the case, so who gives a shit, I plan on selling it soon.

I was hesitant about them after trying the MK-I versions, but this MK-II came around and as soon as I picked it up I knew I had to buy it. Neck feels fantastic, nice locking tuners, fret job was shockingly good. Picked it up for $600 to boot.

If it was $300, it wasn't a Gibson.

Good. Anything Gibson over the past 20ish years have been complete crap. They need to quit suing other companies and work on their pathetic quality control.

The MK-III looks like a move in the right direction. They seem to get better with each passing release.

4-5 years from now, I might actually consider one lol

Oh it definitely is a real gibson, it's an older faded sg with a good amount of wear and tear, I get some good deals from time to time. Still sounds good and plays good, just fucking sucks at staying in tune like any gibson.

Absolutely agree, gibson has trash QC, and the only reason I picked up my faded sg was because of the price, like fuck it can't go wrong for $300. But looking at a ton of them over the years, yeah fuck buying one new, and double fuck paying $2k+ for a god damn blueslawyer™

>I get some good deals from time to time

>fucking sucks at staying in tune

Well which is it, you chips ahoy eating bastard?

The MK-III is absolutely bonkers, but if I'm paying full retail price I'd probably spend my money elsewhere.

Both because I can enjoy it for the time being and sell it for a profit later. And fuck you I like chewy chips ahoy from time to time you chocolate chip hating fuck.

Sell all that crap and buy a Solar.

I actually got to play one recently, an A1.7DVV. Was actually surprised, it was pretty decent after it was setup. Neck felt good, fretwork left a bit to be desired, pickups were better than I expected, still wouldn't fork out the $1400 for it mainly because I'm not a floyd guy. But that 8 string they just put out for right around a grand is actually pretty tempting. Shit looks good and I want another 8 with a different neck profile.

I have one with an Evertune bridge. Absolutely amazing. They are a bit expensive, but damnit, it's an almost flawless guitar. Worth every penny.
