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?

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.

>Not having a different guitar for each tuning you use.

Variety is the spice of life champ.

Ibanez guitars seem to suck any decent tone out of literally any pickup. They sound so weird.

Why don't math rockers just play their arpeggios in standard with a capo for a more indie sound?

Tranny pedo

thats not uncommon. you can do cool jangly stuff with open strings in alternate tunings though.

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.

Tim Henson of polyphia recently endorsed using the FAGFAG tuning.

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.

Electric.

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.

acoustic because you don't need any equipment other than a guitar

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.

>Greatest living guitarist.
Nah, Page and Gilmour are better.

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.

Adds to the tone and sustain

>Even if you suck you can get something out of effects.
>Acoustic players have to at least strum chords well.
Translated: he should get an acoustic or else he would progress too slowly

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.

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.

What do you mean by binding latched on? You can use any type of finish with binding.

hey don't be rude, finishes are part of a guitar

You will get a shitty Standard if you buy without playing; all the good ones are hand-picked out, so only shitty ones remain online. Go somewhere they have a bunch to try out.

All good mate

also pls don't use gay as an insult

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.

Pokemon them song.

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.

Kek. But you cant afford the strings. So it makes sense you never clean your shitplanks.

stop being mean and rude

Stop being poor and ugly.

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.

I'd definitely go for the Studio, especially since you already know you like it.

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.

If you focused on becoming rich, you could hand over a pile of money to a doctor, and he could make you stop being an ugly ape, called capitalism, sambo

Hey i won.

Need a bedroom postrock/mathrock gig. What do you think of a Fender American Original Jazzmaster and a roland JC 40? Or should I go for an original series strat instead?

Just cut it to the right length, shove the end in the hole, then turn the peg until it wraps as many times as it needs to.

If you can't get that done, how are you going to handle playing it?

I can play fine, but whenever I try to string my guitar I can only wrap the strings once, maybe twice.

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

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.

Shit bait

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

I AM TRIVIUM SCROTE
RUNNING AROOOOOUND

I don't want to play shitty fucking eric clapton and the boomers

fuck you \m/

what's the difference between gio and rg they look the same

Fuckin hell that's a throwback

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

what about this one

hard to get rid off

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

I put my whole fist in between the strings at the 12th fret to measure the right amount of slack.

what do you mean

so why would i buy the RG?

i didn't say that you would

Start playing it glacially slowly and speed up gradually over a few days.

muh metal

Should just smear some kaka on that volume pot

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.

too many frets and too many strings

Get bare knuckles

Get suhr.

A good collection of memes

Get Lace Sensors

Gamers rise up

Get Lollar

Get sd distortions

It's okay if you're into pointy, but that headstock and upper horn are unforgiveable.

Get malagoli

It catches panties well

That's pretty convenient Sambo, you can't afford rent

That's not the one I bought. It hasn't been released yet anyway.

I win.

Not everyone has to inflict Brazilian shitplank pups on themselves, Sammy.

First time you get laid for playing that thing, feel free to post about it.

Is this a new maymay?

They're pretty nice. Notes separate pretty well under gain. Not as sterile sounding as the ceramic pickups I have in another guitar.

You hardly win any money tho, Sambo

Is it Sambo who keeps posting "I win"? That's some serious delusion right there.

Yes its him. He thinks hes in a competition of sorts. Poor chap is losing it

He shifts between feeling like he wins at something and realizing he's poor and blaming it on others

You lose.

The guy that sold me the Studio apparently bought this to replace it.

So he's like
>I win
>I can't win because rich countries don't want me to

Yeah, I've noticed him complaining about the first world somehow "oppressing" Brazil by keeping it poor.

Protip: we don't care enough about Brazil to do anything it.

*anything to it.

1 tone control

why have any?

fucking stupid.

I don't know man. I'd say he downgraded imo.

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

i need my malagoli pickups and my sopa do macaco aswell, uma delicia.
...not

This is true.

The I/O must sound so muddy. Typical metalfag

Callate pendejo sudaca

Agreed bro

dont fucking talk to him like that
eres lindo :3

I don't need compassion or flattery, I have gotten to the point where I can proudly say i don't give a fuck.
I just built something great for me and my life and I'm going for greater, I am not Samuel and I'm so glad

Dilate

I'm glad you're not Samuel too, user. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Except Sammy, of course.

eres lindo y MUY machismo, chico
dame abrazo? :3

LP or Strat? Which is better for beginners?

Used MIM HSS strat.

This is roman.

Ibanez RG

This is also roman

Why HSS?
Aren't locking tremolos problematic for beginners?

>Why HSS?
So nooblets don't come to /gg/ and ask whether they should get a strat or an LP. Instead they get something that can do both.

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.

I wish I'd bought a HSS strat when I was starting out. Covers all the bases.

What guitar did you get when you were starting out?

Some offset pos that needed a new bridge before it was playable.

>bridge swapped out
That's a shame. JB is great but I've got a les paul special with the 498T in the bridge and I really like it.

Despite all the adequacy shitposting and anime girl memes Gibsons it's standards drop over the last decade. If you can find a well enough kept second hand one they are great guitars but they just aren't what they used to be off the rack these days.

Yep. See

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. Thise are some of the nicest warmest smoothest pickups ive ever heard. If i do get them they will go in a charvel im eyeballing. Either that or a transition set

alright
I don't know what the fuck it is but there is something magical about spamming V-I turnarounds everywhere whenever I improv
is there another simple chord progression out there that will change my life

Fat black women invented rock and rolll

have you tried the one where you just noodle overused blues licks completely out of time

anything really

sometimes I just spam the appropriate major scale notes without the tonic, and then when it goes back to the I chord I play the appropriate overused blues lick completely out of time including the tonic

You sound irritating but try going half diminished-vi or half diminished-I.

youre a huge faggot

fuck

>He can't play the blues like he's got the devil's fingers

Get to the crossroads kid

What's the strongest pick? The one that degrades the least?

where's the new thread?

if was up your ass you'd know

they still squirt and call you massa.

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.

for a whammy bar advocator you dont use it that much.

>vocaroo.com/i/s13EmUYrdyrZ
What bpm were you playing at?

Have you ever thought of playing actual notes instead of taking the Kerry King approach?

Note?
That's a shred noise but slower right?

sounds like total shit. i hope not everyone in this general is as bad of a player as you
