I have a flying V, and I gotta say, it's pretty exceptional in my opinion. The finish is smooth and frictionless, and the pickups sound amazing. I plugged it into amps that I previously thought sounded like ass and it sounds great.

Is this from GYBEs new album gaiz
legend has it he went to guitar center to try out gibsons and pretend he could afford one, and then a mean metalhead aka a manchild took the les paul he was playing and started shredding so hard he felt embarrassed and had to leave before he even had a chance to buy strings for his squier

desu at this point he's less likely to hook metal fans than he is to hook someone just being mad at him for incessantly shitposting
i'm that someone now
>durr i destroy /gg/ on purpose! XD what a fucking loser
i know he's going to start replying to this, "look at him go", "he sure is mad guys", and probably call me jcum if i push it, but he doesn't deserve any more attention than this post

they weren't tubes so boomers didn't buy them
if all your sales are pro artists you sell like 50 amps and then you go out of business. so the guitar industry learned that you market to hobbyists that can't play for shit first and actual guitarists second.,

After 10 years of casually playing guitar and just learning tab after tab, music theory has clicked thanks to a few Youtube videos Why did none of the guitar teachers I had in high school teach me modes and scales, I could have been making music this whole time
Cooper Long
Because people are stupid.

it's not the same for everyone. Some people have something else that makes it "click". Look at me. I took my first private piano lesson when I was like 5. I'm 24 now and I still have no idea what the fuck I'm doing.

youtube.com/watch?v=96cydVB4w-A youtube.com/watch?v=RyR98UEtt18 I have a little bit of context in terms of basic music theory such as chords, rhythm and intervals so these may not be what directly helps you, but feel free to give them a lookover regardless. From here I've just been trying to learn as many scales as I can while figuring out the keys to music that I like and riffing over/remaking +rearranging them in Ableton, trying to figure out what works and what doesn't

My shitty stratcopy makes a loud humming noise; the problem comes from the guitar since there's not such a noise with my other guitar. So I guess it's a ground-related issue. Is there any obvious problem? Pic related
unironically this, depending on the type of music you play, bring a drive pedal and plug into the pa
Aiden Nelson
Also, single coils naturally hum. The shielding may be insufficient too
Zachary Rivera
Who here /bent tendons/? I can't get my fretting hand's fingers straight anymore, the joints get bent to either side
Jack Brooks
Indeed, there is none, thanks for noticing it. There's also no ground on the selector switch, should I add a ground wire?
Jonathan Jackson
it's all just harmonic relationships!!
Carter Wright
it's a grounding issue only if it makes a different buzzing noise when you touch the knobs the strings or the bridge. hum is normal for single coils.
Ethan Hernandez
This. This is why being locked within theory sucks. You can learn the sound of intervals and play by ear
Christian Martin
I've been treating my guitars with the same luthier for nearly 7 years and every damn time I ask for higher action for better tone he gives me the same talk "no user the buzzing doesn't come out of the amp, you're probably hearing it because you practice unplugged or with the amp too quiet" then I say ok but I think it affects the tone and then he insists on the same shit. My desire is to raise my voice authoritatively and tell him to just do what I ask him like I'm his boss
Adam Perez
wait until you learn about pythogorean tuning and history of equal temperament! all stringed instruments like guitar never intonate perfectly. i guess that's why orchestras don't often have fretted instruments?
Andrew Scott
I'm not a luthier but I think yours might be clinically retarded if the action's low enough that strings buzz on the frets, how the fuck does he think that that doesn't affect tone?
Austin Taylor
learn how to do it yourself... it's really not that hard.
Jason Miller

Luthier I am fuckin paying you to set up my guitar the way I want it, not to tell me how I want my guitar set up
You refretted my Condor, you straightened its neck on your pressing machine, you say the nut can't be any higher or else it'll go out of tune. And yet the Guitar is buzzing on the open and first frets. Then you say user you can't strum too strong, *proceeds to imitate a retarded monkey strumming strongly* then I say my strumming doesn't buzz on my other guitars and don't go fuckin out of tune with it. Then he says everything is ok, it can only be the dead strings. See, the strings are dead. He gave me a talk on string brands and how the cheaper ones are inconsistent, I proceeded to buy a set of daddarios from him. Imma install the daddarios tonight and if the guitar doesn't get good I am taking it back at him.
The uneven temperament doesn't matter but yeah I have come to think about fretless shit having better intonation if you have the skill for it.
He just says it's normal for electrics to buzz acoustically, it doesn't come out of the pickups.
I tried to make it clear that I understand that but I believe that it still affects the tone, but I came out like a stuttering sperg and it crossed his ears like wind.
I can set up guitars but I just paid him for another service and I want the guitar to work perfectly.
I do
I'm sick of your kind. You never suffered or faced difficulties and go around telling people theirs is a joke.
I'm afraid other ones will do a retarded job (like it happened when I brought it to a beginner luthier) or charge crazy prices.
Luis Cox
Samuel, I'm a doctor, and I'm telling you that "bent tendons" is not a diagnosis. Have you ever seen a tendon? It's fibrous and extremely flexible: it's meant to bend. Perhaps you meant to claim that you have tendonitis.
Sebastian Green
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Andrew Price
When I play too much or practice harder bends or overuse the computer, my fingers do not get straight. Oh wait, that's exactly what I said on the first post and you're just arguing about semantics to show me that you're a doctor.
Kayden Perry
"Bent tendons" is not a diagnosis; they are meant to bend. Modify your technique if it's causing you injury.
Gavin Richardson
>he insisted on semantics When your customers get in your clinic do you go around correcting their words instead of getting what they're describing?
Kayden Reyes
"Bent tendons" is not a diagnosis, and I absolutely correct patients who tell me they've had "heart attacks" when they've had transient dysrhythmias. The resulting implications on future management are huge.

You just quoted the words bent tendons of a post I didn't say then. I said the finger won't get straight.

While I am enjoying the irony of being called thick by Samuel, you should modify your technique if it's causing you injury.
Connor Turner
Are you also gonna say I can't argue with my luthier if he insists that low buzzy action doesn't thin out the tone even if the buzz itself doesn't come out of the amp, and thinks I'm just complaining because I practice with the amp too quiet and hear the acoustic buzz over the amp? (yes he thinks that)
Faggots. Faggots everywhere.

Nolan Gutierrez
Man on a Mission tonight, and maybe Iron Maiden on Monday if I cop tickets. Maybe Babymetal next month as well should I not commit to going to Aftershock
I'll buy pre-ripped jeans but it feels too dishonest to get a pre-distressed guitar. That does look pretty cool though. Would look better with pickups that look like a Duncan Mini and DiMarzio Twang King, though. I guess you can probably just buy custom pickup covers. Never really looked into that much.
Eli Gonzalez
>all of these boomers obsessing over their bland, production, guitars and yelling at each other over who's mass produced piece of shit is nicer kek. If it ain't custom shop, it ain't worth my time.
In my local scene, I trash on and make fun of boomers that play Gibson's. I even call them out on stage because a Gibson is a sign that you lack originality and are better off in a shitty cover band. Stop wasting my damn time.
Look guys this dude is really a superior musician! Wow
Gavin Perez
that's because you can only get one "tone" from a Les Paul. Les Paul's lack versatility and every Les Paul player sounds the same.
Page sounds like Slash, who sounds like Ace Frehley, who sounds like Zakk Wylde, etc. etc. They may be using different rigs and have different levels of gain; but the core sound is the same: boring and lifeless, like a Gibson Les Paul
Joshua Lee
Imagine playing like this in front of some many people. You would freeze
Haha you totally don't get it Go find another hobby that will stroke your gay snobbery better. Oh sorry I forgot it: there's no other hobby where people will accept you as superior simply for owning expensive gear.
Juan Martinez
Nah, it's a full out ballsy tone. Thick and liquid
>haha you don't get it back in my day.... grandpa, SHUT THE FUCK UP. No one cares what you have to say about some shitty guitar with a scale length suitable for a child or a manlet with small hands.
nothing says "i'm old, out of touch, unoriginal, and a complete fraud" quite like a Gibson Les Paul does
Hes full of shit. They don't sound the same at all.
STRAT PLAYERS ALSO ALL SOUND LIKE STRAT
Check this. Ace Frehley and Slash trading solos on the same song, same Marshalls, same producer. Yet they have different tones. Starts at 2:20 youtu.be/4wUR8QpGwhw
You are compensating for the fact that your playing sucks so you rely on gear as an attempt to an unique sound.
>lol manlet scale lenght Ace Frehley is 1,90m, you probably feel like a manlet yourself and again is trying to project the opposite
Bentley Ward
I love RG's but could never get fully comfortable with the Wizard necks. i bet that Strat looks beautiful
it's not my cup of tea; but that is a beautiful guitar. I love the hints of purple on the finish and the contrast with the neck is exceptional. regardless if you like some of the aesthetics or not, I bet that ESP plays like a dream and i wouldn't pass up on it.
Jackson Gray
>PLEASE DON'T THINK I AM A CHILD!! LOOK, I PLAY 25" SCALE GUITARS!!
Jaxson Sanchez
They're jealous, you'd be a fool not to buy this and dab on gg.
Joseph Phillips
Olympic white strat, fuckin love it. I get what you mean with the wizard neck but i only use the rg for faster playing, like steve vai and joe satriani stuff.
Isaiah Ortiz
Here's a tip:
A good guitar player will sound great on any guitar. Tone comes from the hands
Jaxon Flores
This. It's why a Condor is good enough for me.
Evan Richardson
Sam if you just bought a gibson you wouldn’t be having these problems
>only a Gibson is good enough for me because any other guitar doesn't make up the sound enough to hide my shitty playing
Luis Cook
honestly user what youre doing to him is just wrong
Noah Evans
the Gibshit delusion is strong, I see. I legitimately can't tell whose playing stops and whose begins. why? because their tone is identical and there's really no difference there except maybe some eq'ing in post production to make the two passages stand out and not seem totally identical.
if you think studio trickery makes up for the fact that Les Paul's are pieces of shit, then good for you kid -- I can tell you've never been in the studio before.
>Ace Frehley isn't a manlet, you guys!!!! stop being a meany pants!! god you sound like an insufferable faggot defending Kiss right now lmfao. go adjust the ears on your tube TV, grampa, the signal isn't coming through and Margaret wants to watch I Love Lucy

Why do you even need the guitar then? Maybe just go find some anime girls and work on your tone.
Kayden Lewis
>I legitimately can't tell whose playing stops and whose begins They're literally panned to each sides. Now you confirmed what I suspected: you have brain damage.
>if you think studio trickery makes up for the fact that Les Paul's are pieces of shit What? I said the opposite, that the two guitarists have different tone despite playing through the same studio gear. Like it's different tones in different albums.
>He even knows the name of old people's TV programs Hahahhahahaahhahahahaa

Think of it like this
1/1000 gibsons has mildly fucked paint or need a screw turned, and somehow get complained about instead of returned for a good one 10/10 condors need refretted and given a new nut and yet huehuehues can’t get the repairs right either
All this anger and nonsense because he can’t afford a gibson
Post your custom snapper, tough guy. Inb4 LTD with aftermarket pickups.
>They're literally panned to each sides. and they still sound the same -- that was the point. Even their playing sounds the same. Same style, same gear, same tone, same shitty guitar.
Since you're delusional and have never been within 5 blocks of a studio in your life, allow me to educate your dumb ass: same exact tone; but with minor EQ differences to make the lines stand out. Other than that, they are virtually identical and if you had the dry recording track, you'd be unable to tell the difference -- guaranteed.
>grampa trying to pretend he's never heard of I Love Lucy CRINGE
Samuel James
0/100 ESPs have fucked paint or need a screw turned
Only an ESP is more than good enough

No, I only refretted because I wanted the biggest Dunlop 6000 frets. My Condor Tele's stock frets are good and I have no need to replace them at all.
