When Guitar World was good

Why is PRS so famous for their "premium" bodies and finishes when they use 2 piece bodies even in their top end guitars like pic related which costs $4200? Which companies make one piece body guitars nowadays?

Attached: 1558395999582.jpg (2500x2500, 1.4M)

It's a 2 piece top, not a 2 piece body. All book-matched tops (which are 99% of the figured tops) are 2 piece. Hince the name "book-matched". I know you're trolling, but at least try harder.

>try harder
>putting effort into something
ain't happening

And that's why you'll always be here.

What are figured tops and are there any one piece tops available nowadays? I don't like this so called book matched look.

414CE I dropped my bonus on it after using some shit $200 epiphone for 4 years and it's amazing

Yes. To check and see if it buzzes. And also as an exercise to be a completionist. I could also see myself using some of that register of the string for tapping.

I'm not asking for checking for buzz or anything but for playing, like in a song. Okay. Do you ever use the low E string beyond the 22nd fret, so on the 23rd and 24th fret?

Yeah, like if I'm playing a solo and I end on the E, at the 12th fret, I'll just reach over with my right hand and whack the string right at the 24th fretwire to get a sick harmonic.

are there even good reasons to have frets on a bass guitar?

Well if you're playing bass instead of guitar it's because you probably sucked so much you had no ear for pitch so yeah you kinda need the frets desu

Are mexican fenders that bad compared to american fenders?

I want to learn bass, is it a good idea to start with a fretless one?

Are there any Floyd Rose users in /gg/? What are the negatives or other problems with it I should know of before getting a guitar with one in it?

It's a pain in the ass to change strings.

No clue, I play guitar, but I tried a fretless bass once and I couldn't understand what the lack of frets took away, while you do get that immediate extra level of expression available to you

It's like learning to drive stick when you've driven an automatic your whole life.

its less aesthetically pleasing than other alternatives

Why?
Is it hard to setup?

Floyd bridges are just more annoying than string through because the tension changes on the bridge as you change the strings so there's various things you may have to do to keep it level like wedging a wire cutter in while you work on the strings

if you have to ask why you should really get your shit together and just research how the thing works, you moron. how hard is it to type two words into the youtube search bar?

They use two piece bodies in their korina guitars.

And it's because they are very well made despite the wood autism and they compete directly with gibson which makes a run of the mill guitar with a four piece body (two piece maple top two piece mahogany top) and a shitty finish for the same price.

The mega link is no longer available

But it works really well.

A guitar that doesn't play in tune is trash

fuck bookmatching. it looks like shit.

one piece tops > *

i'd rather have thinner veneers instead of maple caps (fuck off tonewood fags) and a bunch of non-bookmatched guitars than bookmatched shit made as wastefully as possible (making the top thicker adds toan bruh -broscience pro)

you are now aware that you can buy a top end gibson at any guitar store, take it off the wall, try it, buy it, take it home, give it a chance, and then return it for a full refund

even if you don't actually have the money and do it on credit you can try an authentic gibson les paul for no actual cost to you

>an entire tl;dr essay of fox and grapes coping

Cringe and bluepilled.

Not much to expect from plastic, although I assume they’re very durable

If you can find me one good guitar that checks those boxes up to the price of that les paul I will buy it.

Probably not the JM, though.

Color has to be blue, because blue guitars sound better. it shouldn't need any customization or repairs. Figured top can't be bookmatched because that's ugly.

you should bring a guitarist and make sure you get a case and guitar-specific humidity control devices because acoustics are finicky things

P-basses are the best basses for classic rock, Roger Waters used them all throughout the 70s as did Geezer Butler

>1) How the fuck do I properly record guitar? It seems that the latency always throws me off then I'm stuck readjusting it millisecond by millisecond.
adjust latency until it's unnoticeable. if you can't, reduce the effects and add them after you recorded. or buy an interface. or a better pc. or fuckin mic your cab instead of DI-ing

I can't imagine being so shit that you have to pay $2000 for a Taylor just so you can play an acoustic, bro. Anything better than a generic brand $50 is good enough. If you have to pay more to get what you want you're just bad at it.

Are you talking about picks made out of metal or for metal?

No. You're just gonna pay more for something you'll barely use. A fretless anything is honestly just for when you already own an instrument you love and just want to expand your collection or skills. Just make sure it's the scale and type of pickups you want. Also if it's a J or P bass but that's minor desu

The only way of buying a Gibson without telling the world you're either braindead or ridiculously rich (or both) is by buying an Epiphone.

Sweet, sounds dangerous.

Peavey makes a few good ones that you can get cheap on craigslist.

Part of owning a gibson is having to hang it from the wall when not in use because floor stands are too risky, and traveling with a form fitted case with extra padding added by yourself to further negate the risk of the neck snapping if the case is jostled. And then having it break anyways if you ever leave your house with it. Maybe even if you sneeze. Remember strap looks are very, very essential to gibson ownship. But yeah it'll break anyways.

Guitars that "resonate" have less sustain. The vibrations traveling through the guitar cancel out the vibrations from the string. They don't "feed" it, they kill it.

A lack of resonance is why electric guitars sustain so well in the first place compared to acoustics.

Your voice is seriously great. Again, I can hear that strong vibrato coming out, and it sounds like you have a keen sense of controlling it and not overdoing it. I believe you when you say you are sick, as I can hear your mid/throat voice straining, but I also believe that you can sing better when you are at 100% health.

or maybe you can afford to have a preference instead of suffering as long as you can make a sound on it

$70 strats with necks literally made out of recycled baseball bats can be made to work too, you know, especially if you can do basic luthier work like fret leveling and keep a truss rod wrench and a tuner handy for use between songs. hell, chinesium fridge magnet pickups don't even sound bad. you just have to set the amp EQ right. if you like that, fine, but you're not bad at it if you would rather play something that costs money.

you're also not bad at guitar if nothing tickles your pickle except a certain line of cheap guitars. but, you know, most people who are good at guitar have no problem with the $1000+ ones and usually buy custom shop.

What are decent picks to start with?
Tortex seems pretty safe but what’s a safe size?

meant to post that in /metal/

Electric guitars are super easy to market to players because everyone's looking for an edge that will somehow make them better players or inspire them to practice more, plus they come in an almost infinite variety of variations that satisfy our monkey brain and make it go "oooooh shiny".

New outerspace supernova burst with curly roasted maple neck and platinum frets! Hand crafted by artisans pushing buttons on a machine! Graphite reinforced neck so you don't have to worry about truss rod adjustment when you tour the world! Locking tuners so it's more convenient when you change strings every six months! 20" radius so you can be MONSTER shredder you were always destined to be!

also me thingken about it I should get this

2007 MIJ according to the serial number.

I found a 2004 mij mustang with racing stripes and matching headstock on reverb. Id get it if I hadnt already bought a guitar and amp this year

Stay away from any "jazzmaster" with a strat bridge. Get one with a locking floating trem

What do I do?
The American JMs I can afford look great, have correct pups but a strat bridge. The MIM have correct bridge, look worse (not rosewood) but most importantly are HH pups.

You should try asking /prod/, this thread is for gear discussion.

Buy used off reverb, get a mij like me. You wont regret it

Are you still the same guy that can't play an open A? Spend $20 on an hour with a teacher, one-time deal. We've already given you all the help we can.

what the fuck are you even using to record the guitar?

Its always better to save up for something you want than to settle for something you can afford but hate

cant afford those unfortunately and the ones that I can just about, I really dislike the colour. More expensive than the performers (uk).

What are my options now?

I figured it out
I was trying to do it from memory and had my fingers in the wrong places lol

Niptars from that era are pretty fucking good. I have a Japuar from back then, much better than the Firebird or the MIA strat.

You're blind if you can't find a used jazzmaster on reverb cheaper than that pos you posted thats 1300 new

The thing I posted is £829 which is cheap compared to the decent condition japanese JMs

I think you may be overdoing the effects, yeah.
As for soloing, do you know your scales and modes and what context they should work in? Your soloing sounds off key so you may need to do some more looking into theory. Other than that, it's just a time game. You keep playing and it will just come naturally at some point. Eventually you won't need to think about the scales and worry which note to hit next.
Happy playing user. Keep it up. I can't help with the recording issue though.

Just get kiesel to make you what you want. You can make a mock build on their site and price it out.

>Rickenbacker
What a loser girl

Thanks for the feedback. I think it's a combination of a few things. There is latency between when I pluck the string and when the note sounds through the PC, this throws my timing off so I'm never fully playing on time. I think I am going to turn down my levels when I record the guitar next time. I then try and scoot the .wav file around to where it "fits" on beat but it inevitably doesn't... Gah, I'll just have to mess with it more. Thanks.

Looking for a strat and I don’t know which is most worth my money really.

buy a mexican body and put your choice of american parts on it.

The elite has a better neck heel for better access on the last frets and modern block saddles which are much better for palm muting, it is objectively the best strat you can buy outside the custom shop

You know what else has a better neck heel than the brick? An Ibanez.

Or get a regular brick and engrave the plate with

"There's no money past the fifth fret"

I play metal on mine just fine tho.

Ibanez are shit guitars that will never be able to fulfill a strats role. Closest one is the andy timmons sig. My strat is perfectly comfortable. How about you get good enough to use the notes past the 12th fret then use a american pro and tell me if its uncomfortable then k?

Stiff it doesn't bend, and they last months if you don't lose it first.

>all the metal babbys itt

Well, if you are paying 3k for a guitar you're also stupid enough to enjoy woodgrain finishes and deserve to get raped

Honestly, can you even define what a bookmatch when it comes to wood is? Everyone here uses it wrong and i feel im the only one who knows what it means. There arent varying degrees of bookmatching either

Lets hear your superior playing in your superior genre.

I don't play with rock n' roller technique like eddie so my hand hits the horn anyways.

I learned with the guitar clear up my chest and nearly vertical.

Elite is for literal babies. Real men don't need a fucking meme access heel and humbucker single coils. A true Strat with proper single coils aka American Pro is the best one and its $500 cheaper with the exact same case. Anyone who buys the Elite fell for the meme

you think they're using it wrong because it's done really poorly on most guitars

So what youre saying is you have bad form and technique
Also speak for yourself
vocaroo.com/i/s02W5z5IBlur

if real men want a meme access heel they don't buy a fucking fender, for one. you buy fender for brand image.

and if you want noiseless single coils EMG makes ones that are actual single coils, not lying humbuckers

I have great form. But not for strats.

What I have is stubby fingers so playing the lower slung thumb-over neck style wouldn't work anyways.

No. Most here have no idea what an actual book matched top is and just assume it has to be muh flames to be 'bookmatched'. They've never owned a guitar with a proper carved top and just have shitty veneers which are always a 1 dimensional illusion of a proper carved top.

If you pay for some shoddy natural finish instead of a matte solid color, you're a retard. If you care about what wood it's made of, you're a retard. If you care about how many pieces of wood it's made of, you're a retard.

Hey my man, half of those links are dead.

A bookmatch is two like pieces of figured wood picked to create a symmetrical appearance.

You're supposed to use the same piece of veneer flipped over but gibshit is either too cheap for that or the pieces are too thick for the other side to have a better matching grain.

Look at this poorfag seethe

No that is not what a bookmatch is. Do you have any book near by?

How fitting that flame maple tops and funny rainbow bursts with abelone all over the guitar are the peak interest of soulless fusion players and other inhumane weirdos that try to imitate actual humans

>Bookmatching is the practice of matching two (or more) wood or stone surfaces, so that two adjoining surfaces mirror each other, giving the impression of an opened book.
>As applied to wood, bookmatching is usually done with veneer
>rs. The two adjoining surfaces are produced from the same piece of wood, so that they have (almost) exactly the same appearance, but mirrored

It's like, I concentrate on real hard but it doesn't work out
And everything I do and everything I try it never turns out
It's like, I need time to figure these things out
There's always someone there going, 'Hey, Mike
You know, we've been noticing
You've been having a lot of problems lately'
'You know, you should, maybe, get away
And like, maybe you should talk about it, you'll feel a lot better'
And I go, 'No, it's okay, you know I'll figure it out
Just leave me alone I'll figure it out
You know I'll just work it out myself'
And they go, 'Well you know if you want to talk about it
I'll be here you know and you'll probably feel a lot better
If you talked about it, so why don't you talk about it'
I go, 'No, I don't want to I'm okay, I'll figure it out myself'
And they just keep bugging me and they just keep bugging me
And it builds up inside

Hardtail superstrats are the GOAT guitars

Attached: jackson.jpg (605x1933, 258K)

usually when people say soul they mean a guy playing slow blues with a lot of bends and vibrato. to me that is the peak of a soulless animal trying to imitate soul. it's so over the top and forced

so any time a guitarist tries to say anything about soul like they know what they're talking about i disregard everything they have said and everything they say after. only pianists are really qualified to say anything about soulful playing.

I am jcm900fag retard
Yeah open the book so if it was a piece of wood you would cut it in half on a band saw and when you laid it out the wood is lain like how a book is when open. Thus both sides naturally match. That is a true bookmatch. So if the figured cap is 3/4ths of an inch then the original slab was at least 1.5 inches originally. Make sense? Any other process is just matching up wood.

Hardtail HSH superstrats are the most rare guitars
