Op of the pic here. You just gotta try one to know. The gotoh bridge, the locking tuners, the perfect plek setup, suhr noiseless pickups, it all just adds up to make a really really nice guitar. I personally think it smokes the american standard and american pro strats.

Tfw drool on my fretboard like a fucking retard. At least I'll never do it in front of anyone else because I never play guitar outside of my room

>>74964904

>>74964895
No memeing, but why buy something like a Suhr over making a partscaster or high quality parts with the specs you want? It's not hard to do that and get it assembled and set up for less than the cost of most American Fenders.

It was a school property saxophone in junior high. How was I supposed to know no one cleaned any of the instruments before they rotated them the next year? Oh well, joke was on whoever got my sax afterwards, I never cleaned it either

>>74965315
G&Ls are fucking great, and probably shouldn't be on that list. Their USA stuff is way cheaper than Fender for comparable quality, and their import shit is actually really good, since they use the same parts as the US versions. I usually think of G&L as one of the better value brands.

Been playing for 14 years now. My dad got my the Squier "Strat Pack" for my 13th birthday and I've been playing ever since. Pic related are the guitars I've had since then, from top to bottom, in order of when I got them.

I always get either Epiphone or ESP. I'm considering a PRS next, or an Ibanez. I want to branch out from heavy metal/hard rock and look more at blues guitars. Any recommendations?

>overly wheedly solo that doesn't really fit the context of the song
>can barely hear most of it because of the poor mix

I have no idea why so many people hype up that solo as an example of Prince's guitar playing. He was a fantastic player, but that solo isn't a very good example of why, it's not even very good. Those kinds of "lets get a a dozen guitars on stage and everyone can have a solo" performances never are. And why the need to compare to Petty in that clip? He's playing a 12 string and is obviously not there to do anything impressive, Prince is there to take a solo.

>>74967791
tom petty is too based for cheesy wank solos. that guy has more hit songs than everyone on that stage put together

>>74968130

>>74968172
here i'll rephrase that

tom petty has more relevant hits. i think i've heard prince on the radio maybe 10 times in my entire life. forgotten 80s crap that no one cares about

>>74968350

>>74969345
thicker picks are better for fast single line stuff, but they aren't that good for strumming, thinner picks are. most guys who strum more than solo use thin/medium picks

I always laugh when I see some dumb shit buy a cheap guitar and immediately start "upgrading" it. They usually start by asking for replacement pickup suggestions. It's like why, you dumb fuck? Why did you buy a guitar you didn't think sounded good to begin with? I'll tell you why: because you don't know what the fuck you're doing and you have no clue what the fuck you're after. You bought some retarded piece of shit because of how it looked in a picture on the internet and then when you got it home and actually played it ..it sounded and played like straight up ass. So you started "upgrading" it instead of admitting to yourself that you don't know shit and made a mistake, or that the guitars construction was so shitty that you didn't have any other choice but to "upgrade" it to make it a playable instrument. Here's the thing though: you could have just saved all the time and money you sank/wasted into "upgrading" a piece of shit and just bought a decent guitar to begin with. You bedroom warriors are a hilarious lot, watching you flail about trying to polish turds into diamonds. If a diamond is what you wanted why didn't you just go out and buy a diamond to begin with?

Because you're fucking stupid, that's why.

There's a reason Teles and Strats have been in production since their intriduction in the 50s while Jazzmasters, Jaguars, Duosonics, and Mustangs all went out of production in the 70s and didn't come back into production at Fender's American factory until last year.

Anyone know shit about wiring? I have a Fender Modern Player Telecaster Plus. I wanted to change the coil split switch to a neck on switch so I can have the neck and the bridge humbucker on together. I wired it up, but now when I turn the switch on, the ONLY pickup active is the neck pickup. Here's the diagram of my switch.

So you didn't follow the diagram and you're wondering why your wiring isn't working? At least try to do it right before asking if you screwed up.

Well shit man, I have no idea what that is. If they play with acoustics get an acoustic.

If you want versatility get an electric.

There's also semi hollows, but don't ask me about that.

I really need help anons.
I've been playing guitar for 3 years and no matter how hard I try I cannot play F, or a barre chord in general. I think there might actually be something wrong with my hands. I can fingerpick songs, transition between chords, just about everything perfectly, learn new songs easily, but I can't play F. I avoid any song with barre chords or I try to find a substitute. I cannot play F and I've tried every trick online. My finger simply will not bend the ways I've read to bend and I've actually practiced and pressed so hard until the strings tore skin and gave me six little cuts, but I still could not get the notes to ring out.

What the FUCK do I do?

>all this reedit spacing
friendly reminder to not respond to romans bait

>>74984418
Use a lighter gauge
Lower the action
Practice barring the 7th fret. Once you nail that, move to the 6th, and so on.
Do the above, playing the chromatic scale while barre-ing the lowest fret. Do NOT loosen that index finger. If it hurts correct your technique. If it still hurts after that, try again when it stops hurting

>>74984418
Have you tried other guitars, you may need a different neck profile.

>>74984418
iktf, it got a little better when I lowered the action on my accoustic, the guage is pretty heavy but I like the sound. also I'm doing 5 min workouts with F and and others every hour or so.

>>74984418
dont even worry about it anon, barre chords are completely unnecessary anyway

I've met prs irl before, he seems extremely business driven. Reminds me alot of steve jobs or todd mcfarlane. They seem like they have a large ego but when you look at their results it makes sense.

Most people who stay on and work for him have a similar elitist attitude.

For weeks, I thought it was some house brand model. Only tracked it down tonight. I'll admit that I can afford a $4K guitar but I have yet to see one that I think is worth it.

You'll get used to being naked in front of strangers after a song or two. People might even toss up some bills.

>>74992965
What's, up you fucking redneck?

>>74992990
Practice ear training. Start by searching for the matching pitch on the guitar chromatically. You should at least be able to tell if a pitch is higher or lower than another pitch. Use that "higher or lower" method to keep inching along until the notes match and there you go. Then you could do that with every single note in the melody, but it's much better to get familiar with scales and intervals so you're not just grabbing at frets blindly. Eventually you should be able to find the scale and the tonic almost instantly and be able to play any melody immediately after hearing it

There's a ton of ear training stuff online too, just look it up

>>74993354
hmmm sounds like a lot of work think i might just give up...

80s Hamers are god-tier. And a Blitz bass is full Rick Savage mode if you're into Def Leppard.

I am running the Dunlop heavy core 10-48 and in drop d/c# my low string likes to makes its way off the fretboard if I slide up or down and same happens with high string it wasn't too bad in d, but in c# it is pretty annoying. Is this a truss bar issue?

No, that's usually drummers
Bassists are just generally clueless

>>74995241

Yes

>>74995582
Guitarists playing bass are just shit guitarists. Dedicated bassists tend to actually play 'for the band' and get frustrated at arrogant guitarists who just wanna play widdley-wee solo shit and hog the whole frequency spectrum with distortion and/or too much reverb/delay.

>>74993617
Those aren't too bad, just be prepared for it to need a set up straight away as Schecters tend to have a slight tight truss. Every one I've ever seen needed to be backed off 1/8 to a 1/4 turn.

Depends 150, 200 if it's in perfect cond. I wouldn't do higher. Don't think you got ripped though, as a rule of thumb on cheap import guitars, the used price should be no more than 50% of a brand new one.

Because you haven't started one yet.

Are Gilmour's solos on Shine on You Crazy Diamond just pentatonic scales?

>>74998672
Probably because there aren't enough drummers on /my/. Start one and see if it survives.

> need a guitar set up, can't do it myself because the truss rod doesn't budge and too paranoid to force it

unreliable people reeeeeeee. I guess I'll have to take it to that old jewish luthier who's like 15 miles away. I've seen videos of him and he comes across as fairly spergy, and people with the 'tism are generally more reliable.

Anyone here hate how their instruments look? Wanted a white or blue bass. Ended up having to settle for a black one.

>>75000719

I have a custom pointy shaped guitar that my dad ordered for me when I was in my edgy metalhead phase. I barely play it because it looks silly and the horns make it uncomfortable to play sitting down.

>>75000802
Ugh. That sounds awful man. Try sell it off?

>>75000819

Been trying for half a year now.

>>75000559
Or you could learn how to do the set-up. There are ways of dealing with a stuck truss rod (if that's the issue), with washers/spacers probably being the most common.

It's not really a hard skill to learn, and the good thing about electric guitars is that most changes you can do are easily adjustable and reversible. It's not like on an acoustic where you need to start sanding things.
