Casual reminder that I don't care.
Summer
Yes, this is why all humans should be sterilized at birth.
>t. seething straight white male stuck playing pentatonic scales for the rest of his life
>ousting yourself as the salty fag this fast
Reminder that the Gibson,clairo, yui and polyphia poster is a spic and looks like pic relates
Does anybody notice how faggot-polyphia poster only ever responds to criticism with "LMAO SHUT UP UR JUST SEETHING AND MAD CUZ UR NOT AS GOOD AT GUITAR AS (some irrelevant loser) STOP SEETHING, Y U ALWAYS SEETHING LMAO, WHY DON'T MY PARENTS APPROVE OF ME BEING GAY?... I, I MEAN STOP SEETHING FAGGOT"
I wonder if he's insecure about not being as good at guitar as his twink boi idol?
>he isn't aware
>haha mom look I made the text green again
It is.
Nobody tell him
real woke nigga shit
Reminder that all those posters are the same person
Honestly, what happened to him over the last two years?
Go do something useful for society, play in traffic.
Would you guys recommend a Boss Katana or a Vox VT20X for someone looking for a versatile practice/recording amp? I'm thinking of selling my 80W tube amp because it's just too fucking loud to actually get any good tone with it, and I know I'm never actually going to need the massive volume. I just want something to play around on an experiment with different genres and maybe record some stuff.
Thats why i included them together and said its 1 spic.
I think he'll literally do whatever it takes to be cool. Anything at all to get attention. Just so happens that it's cool to be an androgynous e-girl these days. Him and all his band mates are dedicated hype beats that will follow any trend no matter how stupid, and do it to the absolute max. A self-destructive desire for attention is pretty typical in people who are just absolutely autistically good at things, in his case guitar.
Definitely the Boss Katana, it sounds better than the Vox for both cleans and drive sounds. Plus the delay in it is pretty awesome.
He's really not that great though. He's like on par with a see of thousands of other good guitarists, not really stretching the norm as far as talent on the instrument goes.
So youre saying hes the jussie smollet of bands.
I don't think the fag fakes hate crimes.
>37 post and no guitars posted
The actual state of this thread is shit.
Kek you really think the average guitarist can play polyphia? I don't even like polyphia but cmon m8 the average guitar player plays smoke on the water at guitar center with the amp on 20. The kid can play even though he's a piece of shit person, and is probably the reason he can play as well as he does. All ego.
Pretty much. They've always been this way, I remember lurking on UG years back and people would post about seeing them live, and they would always do the absolutely cringeist shit, like "huhu yea if any girls like wanna come like make out hah come on up ha it would be so funny ha alright here's our next song hah seriously tho". now it all makes sense
nobody plays guitar here dude
Beautiful teles. That one on the left is so pretty.
OP posted a guitar
>complains about post quality
>posts some trash ass telecasters
no
time is money friend
dude, did you seriously buy a signature guitar from the slipknot dude? How old are you, 14?
Nobody thinks you're clever when you say these quote us your 'tisms.
Hey bros where can i find a used version of pick related? Ite a bit expensive for me.
>”trash ass telecasters”
Does not compute. No such thing as a trash tele.
i hate jim root, why does he have to have a signature strat, tele, and jazzmaster?
fucking dickhead
is tim a legit twink? every post it seems like he's getting closer and closer to becoming a porn star.
It has simplistic controls. Humbuckers. Good body contours with a mahogany body. And string through body design. Bought it for more then the artist who plays it.
Where the fuck is my band it's been 5 years what the fuck Squirrel you piece of shit company
Next album cover is gonna be a shot of him being the the thirsty protagonist in a bukkake special.
Your bands waiting. Youre obviously not ready
Here have more pictures of it then.

Wow
Should I buy a Fender Player Telecaster or The Sterling By MusicMan St. Vincent. I'm leaning a bit towards the St. Vincent.
Which one is better trachefag. Jim root telecaster or john 5 telecaster?
how did you find my channel d00d
no
No clue. Never played either one.
Tele hands down
But, I would say John 5, because fuck the one knob thing.
Give me your armchair opinion based on the paper specs
...
Every time I see that red tele in these threads I have the intense urge to get a HH Tele and make Dream Pop. Not sure why. It’d sound great into a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with some hall reverb and chorus.
What do you use it for?
Nice. haveany sound clips? Does it sound nice and warm and still.tele like?
FENDER MASTER RACE
Is that a squire 60's cv. I heard the classic vibes are really nice.
Player Tele. I love the St. Vincent but the sterling one just doesn’t stay in tune that well. The full Music Man one is incredible though.
>What do you use it for?
Music
But seriously, I play mostly classic rock and 80s metal.
Nope, Squier Standard. Well the neck, neck plate and body are, the rest has been changed.
Doesn’t sound like any hh tele. Sounds more like a classic les paul. Especially with some distortion. It just have that full sound to it.
>music man is incredible
No shit sherlock
Nice what pups and alnico magnet are in there?
Do you have it? And what do you think of it? Theres no real good reviews online and no stores near me. It seems well made.
I had a BOSS Katana combo and it was the next best thing to my main tube head
WHAT COLOR TELE WOULD COMPLIMENT MY CURRENT 'TARS?
You must have a horrible tube head
Burst
It’s the stock shawbucker 1t and 2t so they are both alnico 2 magnets
Sunburst? But thats the worst color. And i already have a bean burst im making
Natural finish with maple neck.
Ahh so smooth and warm with a hint of stickiness. Theyre great pups its what my hss strat has.
This sounds better. Im gonna buy and finish the body myself probably. Maybe an aged lacquer finish?
Tidepool from the Player series or Sonic Gray from the Professional line
These are solid suggestions thanks.
EVERYONE KNOWS BLUE SUPERSTRATS ARE GAY BUT ARE BLUE TELES BASED?
So far its between this and sonic gray. Birds eye maple does look good on teles and looks good on both natural and sonic gray.
got damn I would eat that pink boi pussy
m'lady
Looks better with different knobs
Looking for traditional tele wiring.
It does. Kind of want one now.
Alright. A natural finished swamp ash tele. Question is what pickups? Emgz are at the top of the list
>standard tuning
nah
I got a MM St. Vincent in late 2017, and I love it. Not as much as my SSS Cutlass but it’s great, and I won’t part with it. The cleans are solid and crisp, but it really shines with some overdrive or fuzz.
I played the sterling in a shop once and honestly just it’s okay. The sound is pretty different (not as clear) and the neck doesn’t feel nearly as good but it’s as close as can be for less than 1/3 of the price.
What do people think of the way this looks? Thinking of picking it up. Never seen a finish this color
You also got to get to 1/2/3/4 in the gym bro then they deliver your band and qt GF on the same day.
>Ibanez Talman
>plays better than everyone ITT
dawg, every trans guitarist who is endoursed plays one of these for the low action and low string tension. Pansy hands
Honestly i dont think the tracii guns nashvegas doesnt look too bad but im gonna make a parts tele.
Looks purdy how's she sound?
Where did all these fendershit posters come from? Atleast gibsonposting was funny, seeing all these overpriced shitplanks just makes me sad
I went to the store to buy a fender strat the other day and most of them felt the same or worse than my squire vm jazzmaster and now I'm convinced no guitar over $500 bucks is worth it aside from the name on the headstock
Neat
congrats, you're now smarter than a 7th grader
Anyone know of a good solid state bass amp under $350? I want to move on up from the rumble 25 for some more watts.
Save up and get a Gibson
Anything from $300-$500 usually feels the same as anything from $501-$1200. Any serious mia $1200 and up you really start noticing differences then a $300-500 guitar. Fret ends just feel better. Notes sustain longer. Tone and volume pots feel better and aren’t all or nothing compared to cheap guitars.
*no such thing as a trash tele except any with a humbucker.
Why even bother buying a telecaster if you want a guitar that sounds nothing like one in the first place?
so you can be an absolute contrarian like me and play a semi-hollow tele with dual humbuckers
I don’t play country and I like the feel of teles. Wow I buy a guitar more for comfort then it’s original designed sound. Call me strange.
Any preference on speaker size or anything else? Also what kinda stuff do you play?
oh and a strat-style bridge, and a wizard II neck. 100% srs too
Tbhon they don't not pass (apart from that nose), they just look really fucking ugly and batshit insane
Excuse me xir but I'm going to have to ask you to leave. This is an inclusive thread, but not for hateful bigots.
For just under $350 you can get a second hand Rumble 200. They’re pretty good. The 15” speaker is killer, and the overdrive section is great. If you keep the drive on really low it just adds warmth and makes it sound a bit more like a tube amp, or you can turn the drive up past 12 o’clock and get some Nevermind type sounds.
ESP is are pretty underrated.
Deion d I think
ESP and Schecter both are mid-budget perfection
Why don’t you get a good Ibanez and start writing your riffs with midi programming or whatever guitarpro program and practice with a metronome?
Guitar I was looking at was $1600 used and still thought my jazz was better the pick ups were decent but even that wasn't a huge difference in tone the amps did more
I'm saving up for a Gibson
But they aren't even that comfortable though. They definitely don't play much better than literally anything else. Lmao sorry your reasoning is shit and you can't even come up with coherent justifications for spending money like a retard.
Just do what polyphia does and have somebody else record your songs then never bother to learn to play them live.
I can't afford a metronome I'm saving up for a Gibson
>what isn’t that comfortable to me can’t be comfortable for you.
See how fucking stupid you sound?
I couldn't care about speaker size, and I mostly stick to jazz and funk. I sometimes play rock and metal, but I'm not concerned about distortion.
Does Gibson even make bass amps?
Sounds like a good deal. Thanks for the info!
Once you feel the power of a gibson bass, you won't need an amp.
I'm a newbie and my guitar is still within the return period and theres a problem with this screw on the pickguard. Am I being anal as fuck about this or should I return it. I was thinking of getting a Classic Vibe Tele anyways. It might not be worth it for me to return it considering shipping costs and setup costs
The screws not straight and bends at an angle. I did get it setup when I first got it so i'm thinking the guy who set it up didn't put it back right or it came like that from the factory.
dude it's a screw just unscrew it and screw it in straight you fucking retard why the fuck would you ever return something over this.
Heres the screw hole without the screw
I wasn't desu. Like I said shipping costs and setup cost wouldn't make it worth it outside of me being able to swap for another guitar. But stilll wood can be fragile, and I wanted to know if this would affect anything.
no
what guitar is it
Ok then.
Squier Vintage Modified HSS
no
>$300 guitar
>shoddy build quality
what the fuck did you expect, get over it or stop being poor, get a fucking job, save your money, buy a goddamn Gibson, and thank me later.
So a beginner should buy a gibson. Thats smart.
>I am only comfortable playing one specific kind of guitar that has a shape and build that literally feels no different from almost other modern solid body electric.
Point my to the part where I claimed they weren't comfortable and tell me again how I'm stupid because you're illiterate.
>But they aren't even that comfortable though
You may have realised "not that comfortable" and "uncomfortable" are not the same statements you stupid fuck.
>how dare you question my inability to reason cogently.
Next time you consider expressing your thoughts don't, I guarantee you won't say anything of value.
Thank me later.
Based and frotpilled
It's later now, put your dick in a garbage disposal.
I want to ____ Tim Henson right in the _______
I want to shake Tim Henson right in the hand.??
I didn’t even say uncomfortable you illiterate fuck. You stated how “they aren’t even that comfortable though” but to me they are. How fucking hard is that to believe someone likes something different then you no matter your self righteous opinion. And if you don’t think teles are that comfortable post an example of what you deem comfortable so I can tell you how I don’t believe they are.
I want to _shill_ Tim Henson right in the _gg, a place he's never heard of where everybody hates me_
Gibson barely made guitar amps.
it's been 100% confirmed that Erick from CHON lurks here though
not that he lurks, he just posted his soundcloud back in the day when they weren't really known yet
And I think that was a soundcloud thread, not even /gg/
Who cares Chon sucks
oh wait, I'm thinking of Mario though
Idk about erick, where's the confirmation?
bro you prolly eat chodes for breakfast
I literally never once claimed they were or weren't that comfortable to you. Notice how I use first person perspective because I am not speaking for your personal experience. Notice how I didn't say "I don't believe you, you must be lying about finding these guitars comfortable" my point is your opinion is trash and based on pretty much nothing.
>And if you don’t think teles are that comfortable post an example of what you deem comfortable so I can tell you how I don’t believe they are.
I would do that but the problem is that I already did give you an example and I'm not claiming tele's aren't comfortable, I'm claiming compared to any other modern solid body electric (which is an example) they are not that comfortable. This is what's called a relative comparison, I know you don't read too good so here's the definition of the word relative to help you.

And I said I think they are comfortable but you literally said “they aren’t even that comfortable though” as a response. So now you just have a case dementia to your own post.

>>>Calling people gay on the internet
him and mario like to lurk and shitpost every now and then. they were more active on sevenstring before they were famous, or atleast famous as they are. I'm not a super good friend of theirs or anything like that, just saw em around at shows and whatnot and smoked weed with em a few times.

-probably has like 30 side bitches

I gotta say, I really like the direction /gg/ is headed in lately
I could literally order one right now cash without facing any issues but you go ahead and tell me, I know you love talking to me so much. You always want to tell me things.
Relativity is based off the observer or user. If to me the only thing relatively like a tele is another tele then that’s me and not you. I own other guitars. I’ve played other guitars and I will always prefer teles. Like how some people only like Gibson lp.
I can tell you cant afford a Gibson, because if you could, youd be playing right now instead of being mad on the internet about how poor you are
Hey Erick
Shut the fuck up, Erick
He has a point though
Hey Erick I really enjoyed the new album, keep it up
nah dawg it was boring as frick, they need to go back to distortion
No it's not. That's not what that word means. Relativity is based off of some frame of reference that's why that definition I keep telling you to read says: "a thing having a relation to or connection with or necessary dependence on another thing". For example if you stand in the corner of whatever room you're in right now the other wall is some distance in feet away from you. Relative to your neighbor the distance to that point is totally different, or relative to your fridge or your local library. A relative comparison depends on the frame of reference. I've already pointed out to you the frame of reference I'm referring to is other modern solid body electric guitars. This is the "necessary dependence" a "necessary dependence" doesn't have to be exclusively you, you're not the center of the universe despite the face that you seem to believe you are.
>Like how some people only like Gibson lp.
Some people are fucking stupid.
Any suggestions for a (reasonably priced) solidbody guitar with humbuckers?
I dont mind the elevator music type of sound they have now. Anything is better than the future bass B side tracks that had on the last album. Cant stand artists that randomly throw out of genre shit on their albums. It's like dude, if you want to make that music just make a side project. No one who goes to the orange store year after year is going to be happy when they're selling apples all of a sudden. I still kek at Mario's post crying about the fanbase in their group page on Facebook. Funny shit
PRS SE Custom 24
I'd be too busy taking it to a real luthier to get it fixed due to it being too poorly made to play.
>790$
are you trying to give my broke ass a heart attack
post it
I mean you could go cheaper but a lot of sub 500 guitars are shitty.
I don't mind shitty if it means I can get the neck feeling nice with little effort needed on my part, I can solder in new electronics if I need to
Buy used. I got mine for $500 flat, and it's the 30th anniversary edition. Especially if you can get one used from sweetwater, they're a good company that wont sell you busted shit like guitar center will.
Why is some methed out british guy better than the dudes in chode and polyphishit?
youtu.be
I would but I deleted my Facebook about a year ago. It was just typical musician whining "I just wanted to say that like, the reaction to the album has been like, a total downer man, like fans that said they were fans didn't like stuff blah blah blah this group is called CHON Homies but some people aren't acting like homies and blah blah that bums me out and like". Its like dude, c'mon you tried something new and it sucked get over yourself fans dont have to love every little thing you do, especially shitty songs like Nayhoo which were just objectively bad by any standard
technically better, improv-wise better, composition-wise a shit
>woah scales bro
>woah pinch harmonics bro

Relatively speaking your a douche and back peddling to every response. I said I like teles and said they are comfortable. Again, I repeat you said “they aren’t even that comfortable” but to me they are. Relatively compared to other guitars teles are more comfortable to me yet your opinion is they are not. So you’re a entitled douche and believe your opinion supersedes others.
Oh you mean compared to much younger guitarists who do EXACTLY that? Lmao there's tons of old lame dudes who play better than those two bands.
Why does /gg/ always wind up being autistic arguing.
Because it is full of literal autistic people
Not that there's anything wrong with that
Idgaf about polyphia but the reason I enjoy CHON is because they're overall skill is very high, if they didn't have the drummer they have I probably wouldn't listen to them. Bassist less so, but even then they kicked out the old one because he sucked and got a better one in. I'm not interested in just hearing one dude shred for minutes at a time.
Passes the time between answering stupid questions people ask that could be answered with a white belt in google-fu. Also because everyone except a couple people here suck dick at playing and are scared to post their music.
>Relatively speaking
There ya go.
>Back peddling to every response.
I haven't back peddled at all, you just consistently can't grasp the English language. It's not back peddling when the issue is you not being able to read written words well enough to understand my point.
>Relatively compared to other guitars teles are more comfortable to me yet your opinion is they are not.
Yes this is a statement on comfort not on your opinion. I've said this multiple times to you I am not making a statement about your opinion. Obviously that is out of my control.
>So you’re a entitled douche and believe your opinion supersedes others.
No I just think you should be able to generate a worth while and not braindead fucking stupid reason for your thoughts if you're going to go out of your way to be a dick just because I'm not going to agree with you by default. What exactly am I being entitled about? Is it because I, GASP don't need your permission to not agree with you? Grow up you fucking toddler.
Chons okay I just want to talk shit, you have a point.
Shit's funny man.
Shut the fuck up I get mad puss all day and I'm fucking great at guitar
youtube.com
First of all, Nathan doesn't write or perform the drums on the albums. He's just good at playing covers
Second, Drew never wrote the bass parts, he just played what Mario and Erick wrote for him. And he did a good job at the simple parts that served to back up the guitar wank. And their new bassist (the other Camarena brother) doesn't write or record the bass parts either, again he's just good at playing covers
Mario and Erick must have huge egos over their guitar playing. They don't even let their band mates make or play their parts, they get top-tier session musicians to do that shit lol. Imagine having to deal with that
>yeah bro you're good, but you're not quite as pro as us, we're gonna have to bring in the big guns for you, it's okay you can learn their parts later :^)
>”*no such thing as a trash tele except any with a humbucker.
Why even bother buying a telecaster if you want a guitar that sounds nothing like one in the first place?”
So you started off with a negative opinion. Which lead to me stating a positive one about why I bought them not to convince you to believe teles are the best or how they are better then anything else just to me why I like them. Which lead you to another negative opinion how any modern guitar is relatively is better. So you are all wound up in negativity while I was posting positive pictures of guitars to a guitar thread. You 1. Haven’t posted any guitars what so ever that you own. And 2. Haven’t had a positive thing to say. Sounds like to me you’re a entitled douche.
Sauce on the drummer not writing his own bits? Looking at the album notes hes the only one credited. The bass thing I already knew about, regardless the new bass lines are more interesting than what they used to write for Drew, and it was obvious watching them live with him he couldn't keep up. Even if all of what you said is true, I wouldn't really think less of them for it. I've been in bands where I was the best member and it's a waste of time to dumb down your shit if other people cant keep up. Ultimately if your name is on the box it's a representation of your ability to make music, I dont blame anyone for wanting to get it done not just exactly how they imagine it but in a reasonable amount of time. Studio hours are expensive, if it was between spending an extra 5k on another week of recording vs 1k on a session drummer to finish tracking in a couple of days, I would do the exact same thing, and expect my drummer to be happy we even take him on tour instead of using a drum machine. Might seem a bit cold but music is hard to make money from, especially in a niche genre like theirs.
Chon are one of the worst bands I've had the displeasure of hearing and to this day I think people just like them sarcastically to fuck with me or something. They exemplify everything wrong with twinky-tee clean guitar math rock today, their music is grotesquely uninteresting, and it's not because of the technical wankery I assure you, that's the least of their problems.
Is every jcum audio post just a King Cobra cover?
What's so bad about their music? I think it's really interesting to listen to, them and Night Verses are the only modern instrumental bands I can stand to listen for more than a few minutes at a time.

No one warned me about this
His drum teacher writes and records all the drums, Brian Evans. All their youtube vids used to show Brian Evans credited as the drums, but I guess they went back and took out the credits in their vids. Trying to keep it on the DL now maybe lol. Either way Nathan can definitely play
Here's some random redditfaggots talking about it
reddit.com
because all of the early math rock bands that are like were pretty much post-hardcore/noise-rock bands just playing in weird signatures. I don't know how can somebody listen to Don Cab 2/WBNR or Yank Crime or Hold Your Horse Is and go into playing math rock with super clean guitar tones and major scale music so cheesy it makes Tiny Tim blush
>chon subreddit
fucking disgusting what the fuck is wrong with people
Kek that's funny that they cover it up like that. But I cant blame em one bit. There are many times I've wished I could've used a session drummer instead of being stuck with whatever fucking retard who's parents let him annoy the neighborhood. Seriously what is it with drummers and being fucking idiots? And unreliable idiots at that
you're just jelly you'll never have a subreddit dedicated to discussing your music
>rent free
You're going to have to rephrase that man because it came out pretty fucked up and hard to understand. I honestly dont even see chon as math rock. These days they're more like a pop jazz combo. Newborn Sun and Grow sure, definitely wearing some FoT influences on their sleeves.
Buncha gay dumbfucks
sorry user i just woke up from my nap
i just hate that math rock/mwest emo turned into limp-wristed jazz for white people who complain about non-gourmet coffee on Instagram and redditors when it used to be an offshoot of post-hardcore and noise rock
Ah okay yeah I agree with you then. I cant stand most of their fanbase. It's almost entirely compromised of wannabe California faggots that reblog washed out beach photos on tumblr, or micropenis soibois that think they're so cool and original because they listen to chon while dilating and playing super smash bros. Some really fucking cringey shit goes on in their Facebook group. I still really like the new album though. Some of it is forgettable, but the tapping lick in Petal and the main riff in Gift both get stuck in my head all day

reminder that you get what you pay for with guitars, your luthier can't always fix it all without building a new guitar or charging you the price difference between a piece of shit and a usable instrument, and gio/squire/cheap dean is a meme
>a cheap body
poor neck fit or improper alignment, if set neck you're fucked
neck moves with changes in the body wood
soft wood dents easily
finish scratches/chips off
bridge in the wrong spot, permabad intonation (rare but happens)
>a cheap neck and tuners
frets may need leveled, $$$
frets may pop out prematurely
tuning stability issues
constant truss rod adjustments
>a cheap nut
setup issues, bad tuning stability
>a cheap bridge
tuning stability, string breakage
>cheap pickups with the bare minimum of copper and fridge magnets
just sound bad
>cheap electronics
terribad tone-sucking solder joints that fail after a year
scratchy pots
unreliable switches
ambient electrical noise
save up and get yourself a good guitar made with quality, well aged wood or synthetic materials, decent electronics (not necessarily brand name muh duncans, just not total shit - OEM american fender pups are fine for example) and built and gone over by people who know what they're doing.
>inb4 muh CNC
tolerances are loosened to save production costs. and wood doesn't care, once it's cut it changes shape.
Amen.
I too own 2 teles and an Esquire. Im looking at a telecaster deluxe atm since my currents are singles
tldr get a job, buy a gibson, thank me later
I've had three Squiers and have only had to level the frets on one of them.
Isn't this the cheapest Epiphone-tier Gibson there is?
Why should i get a gibson explorer or v over the dean usa version?
One word: Quality.
It's synonymous with Gibson.
>Quality.

I think guitar might actually be making us gay, bros
That's a six string bass. Everyone already knew bassists were gay.
The instrument isn't why they never get any chicks.

No. But dont listen to this kike either You do not get what you pay for past the 5-700 mark. After that you are paying for a name. Obviously $200 guitars are questionable at best, dont think wall mart specials can be worked into perfection, but spending over a grand on a guitar is for rich people and pro musicians. And even then plenty of pros dont use their expensive shit for anything but having a slightly comfier instrument in the studio.
Why don't gibson les paul studios hold their value?
I bought one last year for 1600 and theyre mostly half that on reverb, but standards and customs no matter the year are still original price or close
because they're cheap and shitty
1. My guitars aren't relevant to a discussion on telecasters because we aren't talking about my guitars specifically. I also don't happen to hold the delusion that my guitars are gods gifts to playability and comfort like you seem to, nor do I think my guitars are so special that just posting them somehow makes random strangers happier.
2. You don't know the definition of entitlement either. It has nothing to do with being positive or negative. Please go back to the fifth grade or buy a dictionary or something.
Posting your guitars isn't some positive thing, nobody is seeing your trailer park burzum knot signature tele and getting a big old retard grin. With respect to my original post I still stand by that, why own a guitar who's main selling point is not comfort or playability but a distinct sound? Your answer is comfort and playability, which you still haven't come up with any real good reason WHY you think that. Most mentally competent people can come up with at least a couple reasons why they like things. It's not some herculean task. If you can't come up a reason why you like how a telecaster feels then I'm obviously not gonna be convinced your opinion is anything other than trash.
With respect to you thinking I'm saying all telecasters are bad that's you again misunderstanding things and taking things out of context because you are too fucking dense to actually read things before you reply. Me taking that stance was in response to you being hyperbolic and making out all telecasters as good. Any retard can tell that a guitar that's been in production for longer than you've been alive and has models ranging the gamut in terms of price and hardware is going to have a few shit models but not necessarily all models will be that way. If you want to be willfully dense then don't act like a surprised little bitch when people act like that back to you.
Holy fuck you guys are still arguing lmao
Theyre not much different than a standard. Studios dont have a body binding but have classic pickups. What makes them crappy?
*why own a guitar who's main point is a distinct sound and remove the most important factors that contribute to that sound
Don't ruin it for me, it's funny.
Did anybody actually read all this?
Past the $5-700 mark you get a nicer finish, consistency, reliability, and gimmicky shit like neck-thru guitars with necks made of five long pieces of exotic and eye-catching hardwoods reinforced with carbon fiber dual-action truss rods.
Unless you're buying gibson, macmull, fender, and other boomer-oriented brands then they make shit to dated specs so it's no better than a $500 korean dean except for the paintjob.
And intonated frets
/gg/ literally can't afford to play in tune
only twinks and skinny jean wearing loop eared burnouts listen to that horribly shitty prog/math shit prove me wrong
>muh fashion/music taste based cliques
don't you have school tomorrow
found the skinny jean wearing faggot with tattoos on his neck
>paintjob
Imagine paying so much money for wood just to hide it
You must be 18 years or older to post on 4channel.
When I was in high school I wore light colored polos and khakis, played tennis, and listened to nothing but death metal.
No man, the nitro changes the tone! The difference is small, but there, just like my wiener.
When I was in high school I wore jeans and band shirts or button-up shirts and hoodies.
Which I still do...
based
It's okay, some alright people never grew out of it either.
I mean they have an excuse.
I'm not a metal-head I play in a punk/noise rock band...
what's the point in ultra stable necks when you can just keep your guitar in a case
You don't have an excuse then sorry man
the last good metal band was Wintersun and you can suck me if you disagree
>a nicer finish, consistency, reliability, and gimmicky shit like neck-thru guitars with necks made of five long pieces of exotic and eye-catching hardwoods reinforced with carbon fiber dual-action truss rods.
Ah yes, all that really good shit Hendrix and Iommi and Blackmore and Malmsteen and Buckethead needed.
If it was necessary guitars without it would cost a lot less just by merit of being worthless.
And people have been listening to dissonant, horribly out of tune guitars for centuries and true temperament frets didn't exactly sweep the market so you have to wonder if anyone really gives a shit if your gutiar goes sharp when it rains.
Guitar does make you gay
Felder, lage, hekselman, polyfag, the list is endless
Nigga 99% of people wouldn't even know what you meant if you said your guitar went sharp. Music is just noise to everyone who isn't into it as a hobby or ego-tool
You mean rock music is just noise to most people because guitars sound like fucking trash compared to a well tuned piano, a good vocalist, or a talented violinist
The god damn things do not play in tune
just got a squier vintage jazzmaster and am new to guitar. how do I get a good surfy sound coming out?
jazzmasters will sound surfy out of the box, just play middle position into a an amp with a ton of spring reverb
whats middle position? really happy to know it sound surfy out of box
First you need the ultimate surf amp: The peavey 6505. Next you need this pedal called a tube screamer. Screaming tubes are what makes the surf sound.
Surf music's exotic sound primarily comes from palm muting and aggressive downpicking on the lower three strings. It's almost all power chords.
Go nuts.
>1950s
>bridge = lead neck = rhythm
>2010s
>bridge = rhythm neck = lead
how times change
Who the fuck gives out advice like this? He doesn't even have an 8 string how the fuck is he supposed to play surf?
fuck off dude tons of surf legends play really gnarly tunes on six strings
They dont, it's still like that in jazz or other ensembles where the guitar isn't the main instrument, so the rhythm sections you want a more muted sound and for solo parts you want a more crisp sound to stand out. If you played something besides avenged sevenfold youd understand
Snob-to-English translator at your service
"Although it has been discarded by the present culture, the tradition is alive and well in circles that emulate musical conventions from the past"
Jazz is just the faggy math rock of the 20th century bud.
no, they do, because everyone has agreed that clean electric guitar sounds like shit and distorted electric guitar sound okay
so clean sounds come from guitars without pickups and distorted guitars use the neck for more defined leads and the bridge for saturated rhythm
Just keep practicing Bat Country you'll get it one day. Or more than likely not, when you quit playing guitar in a month or two after wasting all of daddies money
>t. all I listen to is metal
Oh summer on 4channel, how I despise you
I'm serious. They contain equal amounts of music school wank and sound the part, it's just an appeal to tradition.
I didn't even know what avenged sevenfold was before coming to this thread.
>t. i think boomer rock is better
when will the wrong generation kids leave?
>only clean guitar sounds come from acoustics
Hey Sam
Are clean tones even clean or just low gain?
There's still a lot of break up.
>missing the point this hard
When will you stop being fucking poor and buy a Gibson? Serious question
gibsons are the original metalhead guitars though
If it's coming from an electric guitar its distorted. Electrics are not capable of clean tones.
Retarded opinion
>opinion
was sabbath known for their quacky strat tones?
That's just an amp thing.
A better amp designed for pure sound reproduction wouldn't clip that much. Most guitar amps are designed to clip aggressively because the dynamics between soft and hard clipping on tube amps and digital gear that emulates them sound good to some people. Acoustic amps are a lot cleaner.
>was sabbath known
No.
Electric guitars are physically incapable of producing clean tones
posts pic of iommi's guitar
strat
It's just the pickup being too hot for the amp which then clips. Or if you have actives your pickup might be clipping too. You can get the tone pretty clean if you have the right equipment.
A different kind of pickup and digital recording can make even a strat sound borderline acoustic
He said "good guitarists" not "average guitarists"
His point was that he's not pushing boundaries or setting the bar any higher. Your weak reading comprehension kind of pisses me off
the best edition
Except he is a good guitarist. Hes pushed the boundaries of his genre arguably more then many others in his genre by incorporating elements of another. Also good can mean technically proficient, which he also is. You have never, and will never, ever write anything close to resembling something as technically challenging or genre bending as their newest album.
No, you're wrong. Only acoustics are capable of producing clean guitar sounds.
No, you can make a clean guitar sound in fruity loops. But you're not going to make it with your "clean" fender amp.
No, not in fruity loops. Only with an acoustic can you get a clean guitar tone. What is so hard to understand about this
You're acoustic
I am clean
>not setting the bar any higher
If you cant play the main riff of OD then you literally cant criticize them lmao getting outplayed by literal faggots
>want a Gibson Les Paul for the looks and the sound
>don't have enough money
>buy an Epiphone Les Paul because it's cheaper
>tfw it sounds like shit
Fuck me.
That's what you get for being poor.
Maybe stop playing like this?
Guy wants to trade my 6505 112 combo amp for one of these, is this a good trade? He said the fuzz circuit on it is broken but that cant be too expensive to fix I'd imagine. Any thoughts on this amplifier?
What are some good strings that won't rust?
I don't get to play as often as I'd like, sometimes months. Seems like every time I pick it up they're rusted.
D'dario, my friend. I've been using them for ten years and theyve never rusted on me before
If it snaps either it was too old or you were playing too roughly. Those things are made to bear a shit ton of pressure.
Glad you're OK user. Just be more gentle next time.
Back in middle school I had a friend that tried to "play" with his teeth and tongue. The string got stuck on his dental braces and his mom had to cut the string.
He somehow ended up with a bruised mouth and cuts on his lips.
>pan
>doesnt just say bi
go back
I want to hurt his butt.
How big is the neck on a Les Paul traditional usually? I have tried a 2017 or 2018 and it was kinda thin. According to forums they vary.
What's he plugged in to, I wonder. My ass? Possibly.
don't be dumb, play more than every couple months
Thick like my dick xD
How do I fucking palm mute pick (not strum) on a stratocaster? I can flatly lay the edge of my hand along the bridge but the volume knob is immediately in the way of all of my fingers.
this is originally played slower and sped up isn't it
Guitars can't be paper-thin user.
You think? There are some parts that seem iffy
Guys: reverb.com
Should I pull the trigger and get myself a MIJ 82 tele?
