Good point. We've finally unravelled the intricacies of Sammy's masterful design.

You wouldn't be able to afford it if we charged anything.
David Watson
Tokai's have a reasonable reputation, they're the higher end of the cheap clone market. I've seen them cheaper than that, $400 is more reasonable for that guitar, considering you'll have to put a little cash into some upgrades - those tuners are not going to make you happy, you're gonna need Grovers or better, and probably pickups, and decent pots. But from my memory, Tokai does decent work on frets and finish.
I'm curious why you think this would sit differently in your lap, compared to another brand? A LP shaped guitar is a LP shaped guitar.
OK, but there aren't any other patterns that work everywhere on the fretboard like pentatonics without having to change something. Pentatonics are good because if you learn how to play it on one fret you can play it everywhere else. Other scales don't work like that sadly.
Juan Foster
I have no idea what you're talking about; diatonic and pentatonic scales 'work' exactly the same way.
Ryder Diaz
you can shift literally anything (any shape, pattern, chord, scale) up a fret and it will still work i think you need to do some reading
Why do people here believe tonewood is a meme? Literally every guitarist and luthier agrees that the wood affects the tone
Ian Turner
Because they've only ever owned two guitars. Plus fox and grapes.
Anthony Richardson
looks like they ripped you off with LTD trash
Aaron Thompson
I think the real argument is how much - my stance is that once you introduce distortion or any kind of signal processing, it's lost because it's subtle on an electric. Acoustic and semi-acoustic, it's a bigger issue completely. The only real difference I've ever seen is what the fingerboard is, and how soft/hard it is. The body, on a solid body guitar, I've never heard a difference, and I think personal bias makes people who want to hear a difference actually hear one.
I base this one my experience with wood - not a luthier, but I've been woodworking my whole life, as a hobby, and you can get variations in wood from the same tree, that if wood effects tone as much as some claim, every guitar would have a unique, signature tone - but a run of strats made from the same species of wood and identical hardware are going to basically the same, with such small deviations you won't be able to distinguish them.
Disagree if you want, because I'll spend my money how I want, you spend yours the way you want. It really doesn't matter either way.
Plus, "tonewood" is like "organic" - it's been taken over and used for marketing by the big guitar makers.
Isaac Myers
I think different electrics of the same model sound different, but I don't think you can hear that (relatively small) difference through gain. You can hear it sometimes on pristine cleans.
Joseph Sullivan
When I’m learning to play, should I be looking at where my fingers are at all?
Should I be just looking forward totally and try to train knowing where my hands are or can I do glances to the side of the fretboard the know where chords are and stuff?
I don’t mean craning my neck around to look at the strings, just glances to the side markers.
So, i bought my very first e-guitar. It's a cheap one, but i just wanna learn guitar with it. What are the very first steps? Do i need to tune it? To what tuning? I'm already looking at the lessons in the OP and they seem helpful. Do i need to learn music theory, too, or will that come naturally while learning how to play?
Alexander Rodriguez
I'm just here to watch you all make complete and utter fools of yourselves for my entertainment. The fact that you all crawl over each other like you do to accomplish this only makes it that more enjoyable for me. Nothing any of you do here outside of this matters, demonstrably so.
I don't play guitar and I've never even owned one, but I have played /gg/ and owned it for years now. It's my favorite toy ever. Imagine a little train set full of tiny little people with every one of them being a brain-dead mong you can torture with impunity. I'd tell you to think about it but let's be honest: we both know that isn't likely to happen. Which is why it's such a gas, if you see my point.
They have a word for what losers like you are going through when they're trying to defeat an enemy they have no chance of beating, it's called "futility". I might as well be supernatural in nature as far as you're concerned. A literal God.
>pedal platform >plays like buttah >tone for days >my tech >NGD >GAS
William Russell
That has more to do with variances in the pick up windings and magnetic fields than any wood.
Jackson Diaz
Don't discount strings, either - old vs, new, gauge, brand, alloy, etc. And what kind of pick, the quality of things like the cables, the age/condition of the caps in the circuit, etc. A lot goes into tone, I just can't see how wood makes that much difference in an electric guitar.
Christopher Moore
yep
Grayson Lee
Whaaat, so like pentatonics I can learn the pattern of a scale and trapsose it anywhere? Without changing anything? I need to know
Christopher Rivera

What's the best way to connect my guitar to my pc? I have a usb interface, but it doesn't have inputs for instruments. Do i get a DI Box or are there better/easier ways?
Colton Gonzalez
Exactly. Pick whatever root note you want on the low E string and play your pattern. It will be in the key of the root note.
WOOOOOO why nobody told me. What are the first scales I should learn if I like to improvise blues/rock? Can't wait to get home
David Richardson

But then how do i tune or anything? Sorry, i'm really new to all this and it's quite overwhelming.

I don't hate either one of them because their antics never fail to make me laugh. I honestly don't see how anybody could see two retarded attention whores getting ridiculed and tormented online as a bad thing, no one's forcing them to be here and subjecting themselves to it.
We're giving them what they want and they like it and in return we all get to laugh hysterically. It's a win/win.

Gavin Martin
The reality is that I'm fuckin losing time sitting on my comfort zone on this shit job and confirming to society instead of keeping pushing through the status quo and playing guitar every day. I've been wasting my nights playing GTAV and when I play guitar I still can play it but I stopped developing my style and my hand is less elastic. I'm getting fucking braindead and dumb from just sitting on my phone and then going home watch porn and play games. I'm a fucking undisciplined weak faggot. My boss presses me into being nice and talkative and I go home feeling like the customers' therapist and a slave
Why should I care if they're world famous, they're still big here I don't need to fit into some famous' mold to make sure I'm good.
Plenty of musicians made it before 18. I have acknowledged that.
Levi Morris
Brazil is a shithole. Making it big there means you earn as much as a weekend bar band does in the usa.
I got an old 80s rat pedal, one of the output jacks if you wiggle the cable any makes it go out or crackle. I opened it up and pinched the pin in so the cable could get a better connection but it hasnt solved the problem. Anybody else got a solution?
John Anderson
>learning play an instrument to "make it" and be le famous rock star
it's so pathetic when people do that. what a bunch of fucking tryhards.
legends don't try to be legends by picking up guitar, they realize they're good enough at guitar to become legends after the fact. if you have to try you're not going to be one, you're just going to be that cool uncle who plays metallica covers.

Seen a video comparison between different guitars. Every of them sounded the same, especially the les Paul, the only exception was the strocaster. Fuck man maybe they are right
>believing youtube audio I have two guitars with the same pickups and strings and no matter what, one is brighter and one is louder and warmer. Amplified.
The brighter one is also the loudest acoustically and the body resonates more since it's a hardtail.
Liam Moore
What the fuck are you talking about retard? American pro line comes with fender elite case. >satanic bible Lmfao anton lavey was a known charlatan. How about you read liber aba?
I don't play with a pick. The guitar is already amplified
Cooper Reyes
Fuck that
Normies can't even tell, everything is an "electric guitar" to them. A guy with a $4000 carbon fiber reinforced neck-thru superstrat and a guy with a $150 stratocaster are, to most people and even a lot of guitarists), essentially playing the same guitar. A guy with a les paul is just playing a guitar. A guy with a telecaster is just playing a guitar. You're the only one who cares and most normies don't even know what "fender" and "gibson" mean.

I have to admit that I'm getting pretty hyped about seeing jcope's wheelbarrow. Has he posted it before?

How do you pronounce "tarot"?

You forgot that a large part of the normies that go to concerts are amateur musicians and know about Gibson and Fender.

I gave my brother 100 reais to bring my guitar to the Joiner and he thought shit of it He let my guitar hanging on his wall and even managed to lose one of the pickups
Jace Gray
Yeah, but it's not distorted like boomer rock n roll fags play it. It's on 2 at the most. Crystal clean. Sounds like a guitar with no breakup.
Brody Richardson
A pile of trash that amounts to a bigger pile of trash. Sounds just like you.
Volume on 2 means power amp not distorted Man go fuck yourself
Zachary Howard
it was already hard to believe he was proud to own a cheap version of a ridiculed guitar from one of the most hated guitar companies on earth
he's probably ramping up for his purchase of an ESP otae signature snapper. wait for the disappointment when he realizes it's a chinese LTD SN-1000 and not a $4000 strat clone made by japanese tone elves.

There are exactly two good days when you have an Ibanez: the day you buy it and then the day you sell it to some poor sucker for less than you originally paid for it in the first place.

I haven't washed or combed my long GUITAR hair in more than a month because winter. I just tied it on the top of my head. There was a large chunk of bundled dirty hair that I couldn't fix.

>ibanez esp and jackson are just strats or superstrats. Should have said jem and jackson kelly. Esp doesnt make anything original
He just needs to get licensed then hire 4-8 Sammys to do the work for him.
John Scott
fuck originality. hopefully in the future no guitar company makes anything original and electric guitars settle into a standard configuration. everything should just be a PRS body, 22 or 24 frets, tremolo or hardtail. a perfect blend of the les paul and strat.
then the gear wars can finally end.
Nathaniel Evans
The les paul is a telecaster variant.
No, everything should be a strat.

Pic related, this is your home and how you live. Are those roach or rat turds all over the floor? I didn't post this, you did. Remember? You don't get to take it back now, it's too late.
Post the pic of you at the construction site shooting the bird with your little sausage fingers, what do you have to lose here at this point? You've already outed yourself here.
ironically, this is going to actually happen once gibson goes out of business.
the stratocaster-like double cut shape is the standard body shape for electric guitars and basses, 25" is the standard scale length, and everything else is going to be forgotten.

Keep trying little angry man. Kek
Austin Thomas
No, you fucking are. You are posting the pics, retard
Electric guitarists are dumb. Every company must have a completely original body shape and headstock or you're a soulless ripoff.
Meanwhile every fucking grand piano looks the same except for the name stamped on the front and nobody cares and they only differ in a few extra keys or not. Every fucking flute looks the same and again they only differ in key count. Every clarinet looks the same. Every violin looks the same. Every acoustic guitar(!) looks the same. And nobody gets knocked for unoriginality.
Why should electric guitar be any different? It's a thing held by people and played a certain way, so there is an ideal balance between ergonomics and aesthetics and the only thing you should have to change is size (for the ladies and asians) and pickups and switching (all the customization you need - it's the nature of the beast). There's definitely a point where you have everything you need in a guitar and nothing more or less.
Brandon Turner

Bridge position is the only good pickup and even then it takes some time to find a decent one. Most people here probably play student or junior gauges (10s and 9s) when telecasters absolutely need 11s or 12s to not sound brittle and thin.
