dude, gibson doesn't dye their fretboards because they are a furniture company that caters to fans of south american hardwoods not a guitar company
dying the wood darker would be dishonest about the wood used in the only place where it isn't traditionally finished. if you want a super dark fretboard, ESP often dyes their rosewood black and puts a light gloss finish on it.
10/10 for posting the working links
Gonna purchase a new bass soon for a buget of about 440 USD.
I'm thinking of an Epiphone SG EB-3, but are there better ones for the price range?

>he can't afford a Gibson, the only guitar which is good enough, because he spent all of his money on hormones so he could achieve a 7-1 estrogen to testosterone level
>seven to one
All the poorfag bassists I know are constantly raving about Sire. Apparently ,you get about twice the bass you pay for. Not that I would know.
Imagine knowing this much about hormones.
Do you really need to spend $400 on something you're just going to play root notes with?
Joke > head
It literally doesn't matter that it was a joke, you still have to know about hormones to write that post.
Yes
The red headstock on Azunyan's guitar is aesthetic.
I think most people know what testosterone and estrogen are m8.
Imagine knowing the literal values of hormones that trannies have.
>"He" doesn't own an ESP, the only guitar that's better, because they spent all their money following Vampire Weekend on tour
Friend of mine bought and returned 4 Epi eb-3s before he finally got one that worked properly
>Vampire Weekend at the Bernie Sanders rally in Washington Square Park in 2016
First those Of Montreal freaks and now this? You sure know a lot of commie bands.
>Imagine knowing the literal values of hormones that trannies have.
Imagine the joke going THIS over your head. No, I'm not going to explain it, but the ratio WAS the joke.
Imagine knowing enough about trannie hormones ratios that you can make jokes about them... and expect others to know this much about trannies as well!
that frightens me.
i just googled "gay bands" lole
what did you google, "how much testosterone should i have left on HRT"?
He was pretty pissed about it
Reminder that gibshill pretends to be rich but he owns a used les paul he got for $1500 and ESP shill has an E-II eclipse instead of a real custom shop ESP
poorfa/gg/s
>gay bands
>Bernie rally
This is unironically super believable and appropriate.
Just so you know, there's more than one Gibson shitposter. And not all of them are trannie experts.
m8 the whole fucking joke is that each time gibsonposter makes fun of trannies, he reveals more in-depth knowledge about them that only a tranny would bother to find out, leading you to assume that he is himself a tranny.
of course the joke missed you by a mile and flew right over your fucking head, meaning I now have to explain it and thus completely ruin it. I hope you feel like a retard in future every time you see someone shilling gibson.
Any recommended clip on guitar tuner for classic acoustic?
Or are they all the same shit and it's a meme?
Here's a good question: Why do Gibsons lose so much of their value in less than a year after being bought unless they're collectible limited runs? Aren't they the best guitars on earth? This one was over $2500 new for sure...
>he reveals more in-depth knowledge about them that only someone who browses Yea Forums regularly would learn via exposure to this site
ftfy
Haha, fucken screenshotted. How do you know so much about trannies, anyway?
if you browse /lgbt/, sure.
see He browses /lgbt/ because he's actually just gay.
>tfw I cut my finger and now I can't play guitar
Just buy the most popular one on amazon. They are all the same for the most part. Battery life might differ.
At this point I'm pretty certain he's just a furious MTF, yeah.
Stuff like stroboscopic tuners are more accurate than $10 snarks
You wouldn't want to set intonation or tune a floyd rose with a snark, for instance
Band-aid
More likely a hot and steaming bottom gay and the

poster
He craves gibson daddy headstock pumping his bum full of hot buttery tone
I would tune anything with a Snark
Let's not kid ourselves
Because everyone wants to buy a strat or a tele these days since rock and metal are dead and all the indie fucks play strats and teles bathed in so many pedals (has to be pedals, no effects processors, it's not authentic and you don't look like a guitarist with a rack unit on your desk) the nasty single coil spank pretty much disappears.

Could just be a seller desperate for quick cash now.
Don't worry bro I got the joke.
Why are Gibson sellers so desperate for money?
but Strat is a better rock guitar than any Gibson
not an argument
Damn, I forget how much this edition sold for but it was definitely over $2500. That's a lot of value for one of the best guitars in the world to lose in a year.
>Bought and sold a dean, lost $200 on it just because it was "used" (sat around unplayed because it was shit)
>Mfw the depreciation on gibsons
Those used to be around $3200 actually.
Dont buy chink deans. Korean usa czech and japanese dean are acceptable
/gg/ - gibsons are the worst gutiars because they're amazing deals on ebay
$2K is still a bad price for $1K worth of guitar.
Yes.
IF YOU JUST BOUGHT A HSS AMERICAN PRO STRAT ALL YOUR PROBLEMS WOULD HAVE BEEN SOLVED. WHY DIDNT YOU LISTEN?
Starts sound bad
At least you tried
>humbucker in a strat
disgusting
Manlets' opinions on guitars are worth half that of men since they're half-men.
How fat are you?
130lb
Because you own a Dean.
>"Don't get me wrong, I love Gibsons. I have a lot of them - 335s, SGs, Les Pauls, all of them, and they're beautiful guitars. But they're not like something I'd go to war with. Do you know what I mean? They're more like beautiful coffee tables."
>he fell for the boss katana meme
Forget a 0?
and dont forget suhrfag he owns the basic strat clones and not the super expensive custom shop ones.
How do I play in a band with 2 pianos, an acoustic, a bass and drums? Are there any general guidelines? I used to play rhytm eg but ever since we got an acoustic, I don’t know what to play anymore. I’m not a highly experienced player, this is basically my first band I ever played in.
No
Strat is a better guitar than Gibson.
hi frens
What's the point of practicing for speen when there will always be someone faster than you?
/gg/ - 1970s interior design general
Anyone else great at lead but suck at rhythm?
Developing pro-sounding phrasing is way more important for most genres.
Dudes who can play fast only sound good in a limited number of genres.
Dudes with pro-sounding phrasing sound pro in any genre.
>2 pianos and an acoustic
That's your entire range eaten up three times over. You're going to have to be diplomatic.
That Jazz, every time.
Which Highway One Fenders are better, the older ones with the small headstocks or the newer ones when they switched to the 70's big headstocks?
???
whats the JMP-1´s purpose? i read that they were used by nine inch nails by hooking them up to a computer but i dont know much more about it. i am asking because they often come up for sale for around 300 euros.
yeah it's a pretty old house lmao
ty bb. i think the pickguard makes it. i was planning on replacing it with a tortoise one when i bought it, but the aged white just looks so goddamn good.
Monty Bluesbaby and Bluesmaster
thats a pre-amp definitely you need a power amp for that massive low end marshall is know for.
Prs cu 22
hate the color but love the guitar
>power amp
so i would hook it up to a proper amp before outputting to a speaker. i am still confused about the MIDI part tho and what can be done with it.
Super glue.
Seriously. That's what the pros do.
Love the color but hate the guitar.
SRV was famous for it. It's also a pretty common military quick-fix.
We also do it in the emergency room, FYI. We just use less toxic glue.
Finally got my fretboard stickers
>"i want to relic a guitar"
>take an orbital sander to random parts of the body
There's a simple repeating pattern that's shifted one fret on the e and B strings. You don't need the stickers.
I heard that it makes more sense to learn/visualise a scale on each individual string and then combine that instead of learning the interlocking scale patterns.
Visualising interlocking scale patterns seems more intuitive to me, but I've never tried learning the one string thing.
why do boomers love fake relicing so much?
thats a partcaster he bought the body already reliced at reverb and then slaped a mexifender neck.
Based Mangosteen Juice salesman
Iron Maiden used them for a while. Nice digits.
Probably because they'll never play a guitar enough to actually make it look worn
Digits and im gay and will buy a gibson to celebrate

What is the second least likely guitar for someone who literally fucks trannies to own behind a Gibson?
G&l sounds better than fender
why don't you use an Ibanez, user? it's the preferred brand of guitar virtuosos. You aren't a scrub, are you?
Squire VM Short Scale Jag. It’s a short scale just like the SG. It sounds better too.
Tell me why you ban this?
>what color would you like, user?

Is it possible to learn fingerstyle guitar without learning boring chord shit?
I'm a bassist but Fahey-like fingerstyle sounds pretty fun to play.
WTF WHY IS THE F CHORD SUCH A BITCH BROS
BARRING THE 1ST FRET WITH THE HIGHEST ACTION IS HARD ENOUGH, BUT STRETCHING MY FINGERS TO PUT THEM IN THE RIGHT POSITION IS HARD TOO. FUUUUUCC KKKKK
Do they make that without the shitty neck inlays? Because holy fuck, that's ugly.
Who yives a shit about headstock when you get a better sound for less cash (generally)
this post was made by a turbo manlet
>wah uncut penis wah
found the McMerican
ew bruh, if you're gonna use that green finish use it on the whole body. Green and brown aren't cute together. Ibanez trippin
Retard , you took the bait
Also fucking B is way harder for beginners
Its crayon kaka green
It's a rack mount pre-amp. It was analog amp modeling, basically. You get all of the gain, without a power amp.
Guitar is a performing instrument.
Everybody is going to talk at your back about that hideous uncut penis headstock at your gigs.
You can program it. Do you know what MIDI is, and is used for? The easiest thing would be able to program it, and switch programs during a performance with a MIDI footswitch.
Yea no fuck off
Neck profiles suck shit for anything but shredding
Why do modellers sound shit live
The guitar doesn't matter once it goes through my hm2
Most people(including musicians) think my legacy is a fender anyways lol I just tell them that it’s a custom shop aonit has a fancy violin like headstock and they immediately start lusting over it.
what does being a manlet have to do with anything
not baiting, F is hard as fuck
wait B chord is hard too? REEEEE
Because its processed, non authentic tone. They just don't have the output transformers, wattage and voltage of an actual amp.
because some dummies aren't using tube power amps and running them through real cabs
Condo... oh, wait.
Mics/speakers with inaccurate frequency responses, most likely. A modeler will sound great recorded direct inject because there's no mics/speakers involved. Play a modeler through inaccurate mics and speakers and it will sound totally different.
The solution, of course, is to use your own PA/mics, measure them, and EQ accordingly.
"Use your own PA" is the only way to get consistent sound from venue to venue.
yeah i know midi. so could i sync it up to a contolling aturia keystep? or can it output into a pc to record the note information andnot the sound?

can anyone tell me what to study autistically so this changes. at this point i'm just gonna buy a looper pedal and take a cue from the vocal melodies until i find something.
ok
Looks gross, too many pedals imo, does it sound good? Probaly not
wat do to become better at chord progression??
Why is this true? Violin and piano virtuosos for instance make some of the best music, why can't guitarists
since you're the only one who's attempted a conversation, I don't use them all at once. Usually only 2 at once and 4 at the max.
just be the songwriter in a band and have the other dude play lead
And your last punk bitch.
I promise you I'm not that cool I just have a job and buy what I like since it's my hobby.
well i'm pretty bad at guitar and don't practice enough, but i learned from playing piano.
i basically would just sit down and play chords, their inversions, suspended forms, maj7,9, diminished, etc, etc, over and over again until it became just ingrained.
when i stopped playing piano and switched to guitar fully i kinda just carried over the same thing. spending the summer listening to and learning nothing but captivating and catchy pop songs probably helped. now can you help me with my problem?
i don't go outside. i'm basically a recluse.
music is the only thing keeping me sane at this point.
which would you get /gee gee/
Literally pick notes of the chords (or not) and connect them with notes of the key's scale (or not)
The sea foam green looks sexy as fuck.
I'd say the black one but between these two I say burst
Neither. They are both inadequate since they are not Gibsons.
Is this before or after the procedure?
heres your (You) now fuck off
>having different tastes
What does gibson make that competes with it then and is specced similarly?
if by procedure you mean a spinal correction then afterwards
I tried out a new Strat in a store today and I love it dearly but it has vintage tuners.
What do we think of these? Do I like them?
Spen a while learning the leads of guitarists you like to get the basics down on phrasing
Then start jamming to basic backing tracks
Then start learning to follow scale changes
They're fine
They both look great, I'd go sunburst but seafoam looks great too.
I have no problem with them, but if you're gonna take off the neck and you wanna keep using the current strings you have on just be sure to put a capo on the first fret.
Easier to restring and much better looking. What guitar?
MIA Performer. Never saw a satin finish Strat before, it felt great to play. Was just iffy on the tuners.
I know for a fact people are gonna hate this but I love the firebird pickguard as well as the block inlays. Good stuff man
I like it but I'd prefer it if it had an inline headstock.
Anyone here have shitty but sentimental guitars that have become their main? I'm about to jack up my squier affinity, pretty excited.
Agreed
Be ready to spend too much
Not me.
i'm probably only going to get a new bridge, tuners and a neck pickup. Might paint the headstock black too and get a goofy neckplate, oh shit it's happening isn't it
All my guitars have some sentimental value, but they are not shitty.

Neighbor lent me a double bass, I leave for a week and when I come back there's a massive crack in the head. How the fuck does this happen?
Wood glue it back and clamp it down. Watch stewmac YouTube videos for info.
You should read it cover to cover so you can get better at playing guitar.
They used to be cheap, that's why bands like Dinosaur JR used them. They sound in between a strat pickup and a humbucker tonally. Closer to a p90.
A fatter, darker, and more jangly Strat.
>How the fuck does this happen [by itself]?
Temperature/humidity changes.
Are you one of those assholes that turns their thermostat off whenever you leave for long periods of time?
Double bass (specialist?) weighing in on this piece of very niche knowledge
There's a few reasons it could have happened. It looks like it Could be a previous break (Badly repaired) that's opening up and that could be caused by a change in climate, having that part knocked badly etc. That screw in the back leads me to believe that it was repaired hastily since that shouldn't be there, even with a break in the head; good hide glue should be enough for that amount of tension. Take it to a luthier.
Nah, take it to a luthier and get it looked at properly. An upright of any value is still worth the money for a good repair job, especially one as severe as that. Stewmac will get you far, but that's a break that needs a good set of eyes and knowledge.
I guess that's what I get for trusting my girlfriend to humidize pic related. My neighbor is going to kill me, although you're right about there being a sealed crack from before.
Fun fact, this bass is so old that it's "made in Czechoslovakia" but actually produced in Germanny during WWI. It's a trick Germany used to get people to buy from the enemy during this time.
Sweet, thanks. Name seems kind of ironic now seeing as I haven't really heard of many jazz guitarists using them. If they're not playing semi-hollows they're using Teles it seems
Leo wanted to design a guitar for jazz players but knew fuck-all about what they actually wanted. The extra dark tone pot is cool to play with though.

this is childhood. adulthood is realizing that the 4 finger method is king.
Sounds like one of us has a fucked up ring finger.
They're both useful. You can pull off to index-barred notes with the four finger method, and you can hammer-on the perfect fourth with your pink using the barred ring finger method.
The barred ring finger method is undoubtedly easier, though, especially for people with thick fingers.
Yeah, I never had trouble barring three strings with the ring even when first picking up the instrument.
>buying d00d br00tal guitar without abalone inlays

Er, relating to B, that is. It's the E on the B string.
just go to brook mays and get whatever they recommend

New thread:
I've been playing for over a decade and I know zero theory, I have horrible playing habits, and any time I try to write a song, it sounds uninspired and unskilled. Should I try to overwrite my bad habits and learn theory, or should I try to learn something new like piano? I'm not absolutely in love with guitar, I mainly see it as a songwriting tool.
