I'm gonna bring my Telecaster for the same Joiner that's making my Condor strandberg for him to carve a middle pickup slot Then I'll put a 57/62 by malagoli on it and a 5 way switch with that mod that turns the middle position into neck+bridge

what's the advantage of a rounder fretboard over a flatter one?
Ian Sanchez
Nice guitar dude
It's easier for shitters to play barre chords with a rounder one
A flatter one makes literally everything else easier. Bends don't joke out or go "uphill" and you can play with a lower action.
I like FR because they float in every direction, reducing string tension during bends.
Nathaniel Reyes
>Not having a different guitar for each tuning you use.
Variety is the spice of life champ.
Ryder Scott
Ibanez guitars seem to suck any decent tone out of literally any pickup. They sound so weird.
Connor Foster
>he's too busy spamming Reddit, Facebook and Twitter, with posts supporting free, government-funded fourth trimester abortions for undocumented biological males, to get a job and buy a Gibson, the only guitar that is good enough
It's the stiff necks adding brightness. Use your EQ.

Grayson Morales
Tranny pedo
Brayden Hernandez
thats not uncommon. you can do cool jangly stuff with open strings in alternate tunings though.
Jayden Jackson
It sounds like "bweeeeee*pzt*" because your action is too low and a bend on a high or very low string will cause the string to contact the fretboard, which is higher in the middle
You need a higher action for that not to happen, it's one of the many things referred to as fender-itis/strat-itis. Fenders were designed for country guitar playing, no big bends, lots of barred chord shapes being slid up and down.

You'll probably never be great but you can still be a competent rhythm guitarist even with limited talent at your age. It shouldn't take much longer than a month to be able to play all the major and minor chords reliably with decent timing if you work really hard at it.
Even if you suck you can get something out of effects.
Acoustic players have to at least strum chords well.
There is an entire genre created by mediocre/bad players called shoegaze.
And he prefers strats now.
Chase Watson
acoustic because you don't need any equipment other than a guitar
Joshua Reed
Already ordered and on the way my dude. Bought this guitar 10 years ago and doing my best to modernize it. It's already miles ahead of the newer SE's.
Thanks for saying my shit soldering skills can pass for stick photos.
Already have another guitar with 22 frets with humbuckers and trem.
Cameron Young
>Greatest living guitarist. Nah, Page and Gilmour are better.
Tyler Harris
There is no correct answer to that. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
Acoustic advantages: sound great without having to bother with plugging it into anything, playing electric will feel extremely easy if you start learning on an acoustic because an acoustic is harder to play Acoustic disadvantages: might be too loud for practicing in certain circumstances where practicing with an unplugged electric (or practicing electric with headphones) would be viable. The strings require more force to fret and thus beginners will experience more finger pain before their callouses build up than beginners learning on an electric. This finger pain causes many beginners to quit the instrument, so learning on an acoustic could raise the quitting rate.
Electric advantages: easier to play, hurt the fingers less, can practice pretty quietly without disturbing others Electric disadvantages: won't sound very good unless you make the extra effort to plug it into something. You'll develop less finger strength learning on an electric than you will on an acoustic because the strings are easier to fret and bend.
Sebastian Torres

Clown opinions. Absolute fucking clown opinions. Ace is a competent, well-rounded rock lead guitarist. That's really it. I can't really slag on the guy but there's hundreds to thousands of other guitarists just like him. I think Jimmy was Jeff's approximate equal (it's so hard to compare anyone to Jeff's eccentric style) before heroin seemed to permanently fuck over his coordination. Jimmy trying to solo has been sad for many years now. Gilmour's a competent one-trick pony. Yeah, he makes it sing real purty.

Alright aince im getting a gotoh 510 recessed, im wondering if any asshole here has experience with them. I was going to get double locking floyd rose but the gotoh one comes with locking tuners and i want to try the 2 point trem with locking tuners up top. Im going to go for a modern vintage look that i usually go for.

So I have the choice between a Les Paul Studio and buying a Les Paul Standard. The Studio is being sold by a neighbor and I played it fee times and the guitar feels and sounds great. Should I take the chance and buy a new Standard without playing it?
What's the price of them both and when were they made?
Jason Rodriguez
Thanks bro :)
Bentley Barnes
So I really want this Ibanez ar720, but it's discontinued. Do I finance a brand new ar420, or save for the 720 second hand? Anyone know how they compare?
standard unless the studio had better bookmatch maple grain which really happens sometimes.
Jack Nelson
I have LP standard and I love it. They're both great guitars. If your neighbor is selling the studio for cheap id pick it up if you liked the way it felt
Brandon Gray
Why not just 'eat a damn good burger, everyone'?

i need one for c standard thanks
Julian Reyes
For me it's all about the electronics. I love the 2019 studio. High output bridge humbucker and coil split on both pickups means a shit ton of versatility.
A Studio that you've played and know is a good guitar is better than a random, probably-shitty Standard.
But why not play a bunch of Standards and then buy one that's good?

Quick question: Is it only Nitro finishes that can handle getting a binding latched onto it, or is there any other lacquer that can handle it?

Unless it's a very popular gib or fender, chances are that other limited brand runs are gonna be as rare as unicorns to get a hold of - but you never know.

Jose Perez
You can't just assume Gibson will have 'QC issues' because someone on /gg/ or plebbit said so. Go look at the guitar yourself. Any guitar no matter who made it could have an issue, QC or other.
I'm talking about post paint job. Say I buy an american standard telecaster with no bindings and I want to get some on - I know that Nitro is so thin that it's not hard for a guitar tech to get off and put a binding, but I've heard that some finish lacquer's are too thick to handle something like that.
Tyler Clark
Kek. But you cant afford the strings. So it makes sense you never clean your shitplanks.
Lincoln Cox

Isaiah Cooper
Stop being poor and ugly.
Jacob Jackson
That's always going to look like shit, don't even bother. If anything the thicker the finish the better it would be to bury the faux-binding deep beneath the finish.
John Jackson
I'd definitely go for the Studio, especially since you already know you like it.
Charles Ross
And if you're going through the trouble of having a luthier add real binding to an already finished body just buy one unfinished that already has binding. But i think you're trolling and i fell for the bait. Good one.

Leave more slack when you start winding. Thread the string in to the tuning machine as taut as it goes, then slide it back out about one and half times the distance between adjacent tuning pegs. Now put a kink in the string to hold it there and start winding
Michael Morris
Unless your strings are breaking or going out of tune quickly you aren’t doing anything wrong. I generally do two wraps on the wound strings and three on the thinner strings. I give enough slack that there is about an inch when you pull to the side of the twelfth fret.
Jace Cox
so i want to buy a guitar so i can get into playing metal stuff like metallica trivium etc what do you guys think about this guitar
specs look good, but keep in mind that its Ibanez budget model so your QC won't be as good as if you were to spend a little more. Do try to buy it in person if you can so you can try it out first. People WILL respond to you saying that its shit because its GIO, aka budget series like I said, but its probably fine especially for a beginner check out the Ibanez RG series if you're willing to spend a little more for better QC
Nicholas Nelson

Liam Russell
I don't want to play shitty fucking eric clapton and the boomers
Caleb Cox
fuck you \m/
what's the difference between gio and rg they look the same
Joseph Lee
Fuckin hell that's a throwback
Nicholas Morgan
practically, assuming you get a good unit? not much RG, from what I've heard, is weighted a little better, more comfy to hold/play. They also have better pickups but they wont sound as much different as a good amp would make it sound. what you're really paying for is QC, lesser chance for electronics to fail or to get sharp/uneven frets, things like that. Then again they're both made in Indonesia so maybe that last part is snake oil if they're both made in the same factories meh, the biggest caveat is that you should buy it in person if possible. and if you do buy from sweetwater and get a bad unit, you might end up having to pay for a set up or minor repair that would probably run 50-ish dollars. so really not a big deal man, I'm just giving you a rundown. that one is probably fine, assuming you've done your research. I like the 5 way blade
yeah dude its fine, but dont take what I said too seriously. if you wanna save the money on the gio then go for it, it's probably fine. my first guitar was a gax30 and it had an uneven fret but I played through it anyway and it was fine. would've been a cheap fix too if I really wanted to
Asher Murphy
I put my whole fist in between the strings at the 12th fret to measure the right amount of slack.
Jordan Turner
what do you mean
so why would i buy the RG?
Nathaniel Gray
i didn't say that you would
Xavier Howard
Studio vs Standard user from earlier. Ended up getting the Studio. He ended selling it to me for $600. Pic related.
Good for you, user. Much better to get a good deal on a guitar that you know is good quality than to spend $2k on something that's probably a lemon.

keep playing, maybe not even specifically that, then pick it up again in a month or so and say "gee whiz this is easy this time"

I played an early 90s Gibson J45 tonight, was a seriously great sounding guitar, miles better than the new one I played in a shop recently. Guy liked my Martin 00015m a lot too to be fair.

Henry Murphy
Who says you have to keep it strict alternate-finger? I'd play it 121 121 12

Thanks user! It's a rosewood fretboard with stock 490R in the neck, Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge
How do you like the JB? I'm turning this guitar into a semi-replica of Kurt Cobain's vandalism Strat, and a JB was one of the pickups he supposedly had in it.
He's a poor faggot bound to die a poor faggot out of his own faggory, really makes me angry, gives us South Americans a bad name, when the world's simple: Put the effort, play smart and you get what you deserve. Be a macaco and stay complaining and you get nowhere

Versatile so you can try a bunch of stuff as you learn and grow. That way if the day comes you want a more high end guitar you know what sounds and styles you gravitate towards.

You like those gibson pickups. I love high gain but those and the 500t are too hot in a bad way. Ill stick to emg. On a side note im thinking of getting a ebmm stingray hunbucker set.

Its never to late to practice improv. Even though my jcm900 sounds 1000x better than my interface, being able to silently make music is definitely cool.
They definitely are not for everyone, don't get me wrong. I'm a black metal autist so I tend to like treble-heavy screamer pickups, which the 490 sets do well imo. EMGs are nice but I've got a solid state amp sadly, so I stick to passives.
Ayden Carter
for a whammy bar advocator you dont use it that much.
