A mix of magnetic and piezo? It does.

But why not as a 5$ board I can buy from aliexpress? I don't want to spend time designing a piezo pre-amp and mixer

Whats the difference between 50s and 60s lp wiring?

I'm sure you can figure out the manufacturer and buy direct. And you don't need a preamp to run piezos.

>And you don't need a preamp to run piezos
Some piezos don't need one, but you could use one to mix signal from piezo discs placed in different parts of the guitar body

There is along with having one active pickup per string with mixing options for those as well

But the mixing is done outside the guitar for the sake of simplicity

Welcome to Capitalism

Then make it yourself einstein

I was thinking something. Line6 variax uses piezo pickups + modelling to make them sound like any combination of magnetic pickups. Since we're in 2019, almost 2020, why haven't magnetic pickups gone extinct? The battery question is solved, thanks to Li-lion. You could use piezo saddles + a analog to digital converter, and stream the signals over some sort of high bandwidth digital cable and do everything in software. There's no reason for 50's tech to still exist.

Not the same as you're talking about, but this is an interesting read.

Those cables dont look like they have much tone

Saving for Variax + Helix Floor

does it have a model number? a lot of times you can find the schematics.

Those cables would be a goddamned disaster

I know, but the ones used by guitars are made to fail

My guess is the schematic is the same as the one as the opamp's reference circuit

So are those fucking things

I'd rather use XLR cables

guitar cables are some of the most durable cables

it's the jacks that are shit. one of the reasons i hate EMG equipped guitars using a stereo jack instead of a switch, so you have to wear out the jack faster.

We're never going to see guitars use balanced cable or any kind of improved cabling because of Bluetooth.

The wiring inside the cable plugs is always breaking on the cheap cables in short order. I've had the shielding in cheap and expensive cables eat shit fairly often.

I've had the same cheap shit braided cable for ten years and treat it like shit and it's still fine

>buy one
>copy it
>order a bunch from china
>undercut thomann
>probably profit

Which one? I got like a 6 pack of Froot Loop colored ones for $18 and they're all dead or have been repaired within about a year. The $7 cable from Reverb I'm using is quite a bit better.

This is the apex guitar.

Lads, my guitar teacher gave me the main riff from The Kinks You Really Got Me. I've been playing guitar for 2 weeks now. I can play the riff without any problems at about 1/3 speed, but if I try to play it anywhere near the speed on the record everything falls apart.

Is there any trick to playing this fine tune faster besides just practicing a lot until I can gradually do it at full speed?

I notices how much better I was able to play after cleaning the strings and oiling the fretboard. So I oiled the rest of the neck. This thin layer of oil makes playing so much easier you won't believe it.

Jesus man, spend money on cables.

Learn the van halen version faggot

Van Halen sucks though

Depression guy here, I managed to get out of bed and play half hour of guitar. Now for the real challenge, attempting to do some light cleaning in my apartment.

My guitar is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my guitar is useless. Without my guitar I am useless. I must play my guitar true.

Piezos are less reliable than magnetic pickups.

Not gonna lie its pretty sweet having monitor speakers. I can play at all hours now.

Guitar marketing is so bullshit driven it's hard to know if it's any worse than car marketing. "Patent applied for" pickups. Every one copies them. Fender buys whatever wood was cheaper for him at the time: "It's because of the twang tones!".

I've already done irreparable damage to my guitar body in my quest to change it from floyd rose to hardtail. There's no use telling me to just use quarters/block the bridge because the post holes have already been filled. I found a plank of some unidentified hardwood that I could very well shape into a plug for the cavity, but I'll request a quote for a CNC-machined one (I can't use my router at the moment). A "luthier" (probably just a string-changer) refused to do the mod as I described to him, so when I came back I took my guitar apart, found an old chisel and had my way at it. Turns out that if I had a router and a workshop, I'd have completed this in 1 and a half hours at most.

I was revisiting guitar models I've been interested in the past 15 years or so. RGX A2 seems to have pretty great clean tone for a guitar with humbuckers. I wonder if... wiring alone is enough to get this kind of sound.

This seem like a good deal?
chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/msg/d/elk-grove-village-marshall-1960a-4x12/6976033036.html

Guitar tone is a pretty simple shit.

To get the best sustain, use a solid piece of metal, dry hardwood, or a similar material (ie: a composite). Number of pieces or species of wood is irrelevant as long as they are well fit and the end result is stable under tension despite environmental changes. The tonal implications of wood species is a non-consideration, no wood species has a characteristic tone. How the material affects the vibrations of the strings is down to factors like density and consistency that vary from plank to plank even within a single tree and further by moisture content. Just ask Jim Root, a mahogany fanboy. All of his guitars, despite using similar/the same pickups and the same woods, but have a wide variation in tone. You can't shop for this by looking at spec sheets, you have to play the things. Don't let PRS types scam you with this shit. Fret, nut, and bridge material is a bigger and more predictable deal than fucking wood.

Pickup quality is not a meme, but pickup tone is. You can dramatically shift the sound of a pickup with different capacitive and resistive loads at the guitar (including the cable) and further change that with EQ. Also, pickup compression is mostly a myth. With passives, you're hearing less highs, and the output is causing your amp to clip, or it's just a narrower frequency response. Only actives can compress the signal via a preamp.

Strings are the #2 factor in tone. These are important. What your pickups pick up is the vibrations of the strings. What you hear out of a flat clean amp will be very close to what noise the strings are making, and no breaking up, semi-distorted electric cleans. Real cleans. That is the basis for your entire tone.

Picking technique is the #1 factor in tone. How you pick is the difference between jazzy runs and twang. Pick material, flesh vs nails, etc all do a little something too, also more dramatic and predictable than fucking wood.

What you should take away from all this autism is that it's 100% possible and frequently occuring for a retard from /gg/ to go to guitar store, make a $3000 les paul sound like dogshit because 1: the strings are a year old and 2: they can't fucking play, drive home, get on /gg/, and tell everyone gibsons are shit despite better players having no problem with them.

Yes, when you reach thirty it's biologically impossible to learn new things.

There should definitely be more guitars in stereo. Rickenbacker do it good.

ESPs are for metal-obsessed manchilds

Can someone please fucking explain to me why changing my interface's sample rate DRASTICALLY changes the tone of my amp/cab sim?

Sample rate is basically audio resolution, no?

Ignore the autists user, it's a real nice guitar. Objectively there's nothing wrong with it, they're made well. The only reason I personally don't like the Eclipse is the asymmetrical headstock, and the inlays matching it. The inlay shape especially, the shape makes them look so weird and out of place. If you like it though, that's all that really matters. Autists are incapable of comprehending the concept of subjectivity, I suspect it stems from their lack of self-awareness.

Post example, I'm curious
Yes sampling is just resolution and it doesn't make much difference past 44khz

Perhaps it's because it's better processed at higher resolutions?
Does it change for better at higher resolutions?

>metal-obsessed manchilds

Seems needlessly judgmental, no?

Genuine question user, what music do you like and approve of?

It's ugly. It's subjectively ugly

Stating opinion as fact is a fallacy.

I just got the riff Wednesday

Elixir

I can't see or hear you play, so I have to assume a lot. Fortunately you are a beginner so it isn't hard to imagine the sort of problems you're having. First off relax your hand, you only need to use the muscles in your fingers, and a little of your thumb's to keep your hand in place. A tense hand is not only tiring, but it can lead to damage over time while making everything way harder to play. Other than that, where do you think your issue is? Picking hand or fretting hand?

Are you a guitar teacher or something? How do you know the scale of guitar skill progression that early on? I doubt you remember exactly how long it took for you to play power chords correctly.

Saying that guitar looks good for anyone but metalheads is a fallacy

Actually no, specifically because looks are subjective.

Guys which/where can I steal a great computer amp with a shitton of pedals and shit?

Lol what shithole country are you from

I don't have $100 to drop on something like that right now, any suggestions?

Actually I can't even show you. When I go to export the file, it forces the sample rate for the project back to 44.1.

I'm using Amplitube 4.

BNCs wouldn't last a week on the road for a pro. Standard plugs pull out if they get yanked on, BNCs would tear apart. You don't want a locking plug on your guitar, ask any guitar tech who's worked above the bar level.

>where do you think your issue is? Picking hand or fretting hand?

It's in the fretting hand. When I try to go full speed I over/undershoot where my fingers should be.

>Does it change for better at higher resolutions?

Forgot to answer that, at 88k all the low end goes away and it sounds like a $10 pocket amp.

48k just sounds a bit different, with some sort of obnoxious frequency that stands out a bit in the tone.

Attached: yamaha.jpg (500x734, 130K)

Any specific product?
Pretty sure there's elixers on it now that rusted.

Yeah, in that case I would say relaxing your grip is definitely important and should be your first step.

If I'm only moving my finger 2 frets up, I usually just leave my thumb in the position for the lower frets, kind of like an anchor. You can also push your hand up the neck a little with your thumb when changing frets in this case. That might help a bit with that song (if I remember correctly the main riff has a spacing of 2 frets between positions).

I also suggest doing some research on hand posture for guitar. Don't completely trust everything your guitar teacher says, because he may be wrong about some things.

Are you using the on board audio? If so that's probably your problem.

Well fuck they don't last forever. Nanoweb version last me quite a while, way longer than any other strings

I wish there was an easy way to rub all the poly from an epiphone.

Are you the fag that plays the condor?

Just get a LP Studio or Tribute, they're great minimalist LPs

Are you using Amplitube standalone or within a DAW

I suppose the difference in sound you're talking about remains regardless of the exported file sample rate

Really there is no completely rust free option, but you can try Cleartones. They didnt sound stellar to me, but they didn't rust while i had em on. I changed them when they sounded completely dead. I prob had em on for about a month and a half, since I don't play my acoustic as much.

Attached: 1567565540463.jpg (597x595, 77K)

Are they better than elixir

I should have specified, I don't record much so I usually just use it in standalone.

I switch the sample rate in the interface's panel, then when I go to export the recording it forces both the hardware and project file to 44.1.

On board of what? You mean my motherboard'd on board sound? I'm just using the headphone jack on my interface

No. How long do you expect strings to last anyway?

For me, it's Gary Moore

>You mean my motherboard'd on board sound
Yeah, is it doing the processing or are you using a card.

Why you never reply

He already said he has an interface, retard

The Elixir Nanowebs sounded a bit better, but the Cleartones didn't rust or peel. like the Elixirs. The problem is they both begin to sound dead around the same time, even with rust and peeling on the Elixirs. Any strings will sound dead eventually just because of dead oily skin being jammed in the winding of the strings.

If you're having unusually consistent problems with rust, then yes I suggest the Cleartones. Just don't expect a night and day difference.

Hey I thought these were supposed to be made up

this is literally what a metronome is for

If someone can play an acoustic or a classical guitar can he also play an electric? Or is it like a completely different instrument?

They're the same notes and same layout.
Traditional acoustic playing and Electirc guitar are largely interchangable, while playing classical guitar specifically is like playing a completely different approach through technique, perspective, and interpretation.

A classical guitarist shares less in common with another guitarist than he/she does with a pianist.

Is there a price ceiling for quality?

Here's what I've owned to date:

>MIM 2006 Strat, $300
>Epiphone LP Deluxe, $600
>MIJ 2007 Strat, $800
>Ibanez S 2015, $1300

I found the Ibanez the best in terms of construction and sound but that's expected of the price. But then I tried out a $2000 MIA Strat Elite in a store and it doesn't feel or sound as good. That's American when the Ibanez is Indonesian.

I got a bonus at work for $6000 and want to get an "endgame" guitar and honestly don't know if it's even worth it to spend $3000-4000 on a guitar. I looked at Fender Custom Shops and they're going for $4000 off the wall or $3500 + 8-9mo wait for my own specs.

Is it worth it? Is there a pricepoint where the prestige takes a front seat to the construction and sound?

whats with the LP fetish?

Afternoon buddy, what songs you working on atm?

It's a phase I guess. I'm usually a superstrat guy. The shorter scale feels comfortable and the tone is ballsy as fuck.

Right now, I'm going through some Ty Tabor, King's X material. You?

I ordered a set of korean locking tuners and hard tail bridge. I'm going to find a block of spanish cedar (cedrela fissilis is actually south american, but whatever). I have a buddy that will CNC mill the plugs for me. I'll then use a minute amount of epoxy resin to both glue all the plugs in place and fill the tiny cavities that will remain.

Taking apart this guitar makes me think that the difference between a cheap guitar and an expensive one is how much time is spent on details. This one had every sort of burr and splinter in the areas that are normally hidden, but it would take like only one extra step to deburr and make everything smooth. It would add like 2$ to the production cost of the instrument.

From 2020 on, I believe we should be seeing a lot more guitars made out of obvious plywood, since boomers are dying off, and people have made videos on youtube showing how using expensive woods doesn't do SHIT as far as sound goes. Imagine a guitar finish where only the top is painted in a solid color, and the sides and other non-orthogonal surfaces all have some sort of satin-like finish, but no color, allowing the laminate to show through, or one that has weight relief on 80% of the body so that it looks like a honeycomb. The biggest challenge, I think, is the neck, because if it will warp if it's just wood with no composite reinforcing like carbon fiber. Guitars need to be lighter.

Floyd rose is a shit design anyway. The knife edges will get dented no matter what metal it's made of. Pic related is technically superior, but it doesn't matter because all it's good for is making non-musical sound effects

It's all the same EMG equipment, and in both of them there's either no tone knob or I had it disconnected when I was comparing them.

Guitar construction method affects tone duh

Back to the blues jam, gramps.

Lmfao ibeenhad fanboys dont know when to quit. Every part on ibanez guitars is made from pot metal

>the knife edges will get dented

ibanez? i have a used and abused jackson soloist from the 90s with the original hardware. the screws are 50% rust and it still stays in tune.

Pro tip: Almost all guitar techniques are relatively easy to master they just require focused practice and time.

im poor af and tired of changing strings, lefty guitars are rare and overpriced as fuck

Japanese manufacturing > american

real floyds are made in germany

STOP USING A FLOYD ROSE WAAAAAAAAH. ITS MAKING NOISE THE GUITAR SHOULDN'T MAKE ITS NOT MUSIC ITS THE DEVILS CONTRAPTION WAAAAAH. JOE BONAMASSA DOESNT USE ONE THERES NO MUSIC THAT NEEDS TREMOLO. HUH WHO IS JEFF BECK? HOW CAN WE END AS LOVERS IF WE NEVER WERE LOVERS FAGGOT WAAAAAHHH. NO FLOYD ROSE NOT NOW NOT EVER.

No no no, boomers like the strat trem but the floyd rose is bad because it has worse tone for some voodoo reason about bone nuts and tone-ballends

Even worse than american

Well done brother. Fender really does make the best guitars.

Fender has nothing to do with the US Jacksons

Sure thing buddy

It's literally still Mike Shannon and the same shop they've always used, Fender handles all the overseas shit plank making

You really think they dont have a say in production practices though?

In the Fall of 2002, Fender Musical Instruments Corporation purchased Jackson from IMC, the company which had bought Jackson from Grover Jackson, and U.S. operations were moved to the Fender factory in Corona, California. Present day Fender-era Jackson and Charvel guitars are being produced at the Corona works. Fender still manufactures various lines of lower-end imports, as well.

After several years of running a successful company doing sub-contracting work for many well known guitar companies and extensive design consultancy, Grover Jackson is now co-owner of a new guitar brand, GJ2 Guitars, in Orange County, California. His partner in this venture is former Fender Senior Vice President Jon Gold. Grover Jackson maintains his commitment to high quality USA made guitars.

The route for the recessed Floyd makes it look cheap with how big the gap it looks all around the unit. I'm fine with relics but something about this one doesn't work, probably plays nice though

What could go wrong? The circuit is completely wrong but I think that with 2 lithium batteries it would be possible tomake a push-pull amplifier to drive a magnet-less pickup using the signal of a magnetic pickup. This would be for acoustic guitars.

That you people think 80's garbageis "music". It was all just a fad.

I bought a classical guitar 2 months ago and I would like to buy an electric now. I was wondering if anyone knows if Encore E6 would be a good guitar for a beginner. There are others within my price range like Squier Fenders and some kinds of Ibanez and Epiphone guitats, but only Encore is laguna blue.

Keep making strawmen, you can't play for shit and know you can't hang with a heroin addicted jazz fusion guitarist from the 80s that made great use of something you're not intelligent enough to be good with, just like everything else on your guitar

Why should I? I just play rhythm.

You do clean and polish your guitar, right /gg/? You don't keep it covered in kaka, right?

You can't play like him either, but it's ok. Guitar music tends to be pretty much trash, since most of it is inspired by american pop music produced by money hungry jews

More kaka and dirt = more weight = more sustain

Yeah 1986 Megadeth with thrash rhythms and jazz leads was definitely inspired by money hungry Jews you sure have a clue what you're talking about

This is pretty musical. No trem bar special effects

Nice ghetto bridge homie

for me, it's twice

Once you start listening to real music (instead of american cowboy pop trash), you'll think "What the hell is he doing?" whenever you see a player noodling on a pentatonic scale

youtube.com/watch?v=YAcmLq0Rqa0

it's better than yours

You're not making a case for yourself here. That hideous reverb and the volume dropouts are laughable (in addition to even needing this amount of effects on it to sound remotely okay). I won't even start with the nuances that only classical guitars support. Toy instrument for manchildren.

They were regarded as interesting side shows originally by the likes of Paganini, but Carcassi and Giuliani really changed the image of the guitar by utilizing proper classical composing techniques and virtuosity not seen up to that point.

I think you misunderstand what the classical guitar is capable of and what its tone represents.
Playing Bouree, not a difficult piece in Bach's "Lute" suited, is not a good indication of the viability of classical guitar music on a thin, shrill sounding electric guitar.

slow desu

Brass on lp style guitars is not desireable get an aluminium bridge instead.

it's literally the material of the 1959 ones. with steel saddles.

my guitar is kinda bright and it has a super distortion type pickup so the brass makes it more balanced. plus it helps tame that shrill 2k bump that all guitars have

Thats awesome though.

Open question, is there not more value in a guitar relic'd naturally rather than artificially?

I have a question. Having a sunburst painted bass with no strap, I wonder what colour would work nicely with it. What colour scheme should I look for when buying a strap for my guitar?
