Pretty funky

>>729555240
Pretty sweet san dimas. When did they make that finish?

Got one of the new so cals myself.

>>729555240
It's not how fast you play, it's how well you play fast.

>>729556189

It's not a custom shop, I got the body off ebay but the paint job is custom shop quality.

It's a parts guitar, the neck is from a 2016 Charvel and has an original floyd rose, jackson tuners and a JB pickup.

These original floyds are no joke, it stays in tune better than anything i've tried.

>>729556297
Nice. JCM800 2203? I had one for awhile played through a Bogner 2X12 cab. Thing is fucking LOUD.

>>729556297

where the hell do you get a working jcm 800 amp anways?

>>729556786
Marshall reissued them awhile back.

>>729556686
>>729556786
Tis a 1977 JMP 2203 to be a accurate although the circuit is very similar too early Jcms. Works fine.

Here's my collection

>>729557146
Yea, when I looked at it again I realized it wasn't a reissue. What speakers are you running that through? That amp sounds amazing through the right speakers. Pure distilled rock and roll.

Where my acoustic and nylon /b/rothers at?

A 2013 Seagull SWS all 'hog gloss top, a 2015 Fender PM3 Deluxe-SB, and my favourite a 1976 Guild MKIII Classical, spruce/hog

>>729557383
Bit of a mismatch at the moment. The left side has a g12-65 heritage which is quite dark sounding. The right side is a g12-65 Creamback which is like a greenback. They go quite well together

>>729557352
Nice collection but I am disturbed by the uncut string ends.

My most valuable item is the chocolate spread jar that can be seen on my amp.

>>729557591
Very nice combination! Those are great choices for that amp. I lent my 2203 reissue to a friend for a gig and he wouldn't stop bitching about how bright the amp was, then he told me he was running through two Celestion V30's which apparently was not a good match for that amp.

are you the one who was doing a kit build a few months back, OP?

>>729558308
My friend used to have a epi lp custom. It was nice for the price

>>729558326
Gold hardware on sunburst is a great combo.

Had my honeys shipped with UPS. My mint finish has a fucking ding in it now. No, I didn't take the insurance and I only opened the one so far.

>>729558387
Ha yeah if your not careful it will rip your face off with how bright it is. Having said that I find alot of modern amps too dark for my tastes.

>>729557485
Only virgins and fedoras play these.

I'm an intermediate player, been playing for 2 years now and I'm selling my Epiphone Special Model II. Any suggestions on what I should buy next? I was thinking a Fender but I'm not sure

>>729558469
>>729558469
Its a rare Japanese SRV tribute made of alder and I love it dearly.

>>729558454

Yes that's me!

>>729558473
Nice before I got my JMP I had a JCM 2000 with jj tubes

>>729558845
hey man, it looks great! glad you got the bridge all in place and everything. DiMarzio pickup? how's it play?

Here's one of them

>>729558695
Says the weak finger scrub,

Also campfire pussy.

I have a 62 Mustang but recently sold my Orange DT + Fender 2x12 hrod for rent/tuition. The mustang is a lotta bit beat up though.

>>729559167
Carvin /keisel?

>>729558464
Yeah, it has been great so far, 7 years and counting. Swapped the stock magnets for the standard jb/59 seymour duncan combo and it sounds better than a loooooot of stock guitars that cost twice as much.

>>729559240
Lol i finger pick all the time little bitch. And guess what i have an acoustic but im not that creepy faggot trying to impress people by carrying around a guitar. It takes a refined man to play electric guitar.

>>729558986

It's one of the best guitar's I've played but the Luthier had some challenges!

The neck pocket had to be change from 2 3/16 to 2 1/4 and the pocket was crooked also he said.

He also said the humbucker rout was crooked as well.

He put two shims in the pocket so I can get a low action.

It stays in tune great and it seems super stable, I think those shims are helping.

It's a seymour duncan jb, in a few months i will get him to do a coil split for me so i can do a push/pull.

The work he had to do it was precise work, he also had to rout the pocket back a bit he said, it wasn't deep enough.

basically he had to do a whole bunch of shit to it so it would be a working scale length.

>>729559010
I play whatever I feel like playing, I'm open to most types of music as long as it's actually good. My fav guitarist is Slash or Page but I wanted to get away from Epiphone/Gibson as there are some really nice Fenders around.

>>729559424
why the jb's?

>>729559354
Nice once Epi's are given nice pickups they are very similar to Gibsons but for a fraction of the cost. At least in tone.

>>729559423
>>729559240
Now boys, play nice or i'll take your guitars away and lock you in a room until you get along.
We are all guitar enthusiasts here, no need to argue.

>>729559553

I find the JB a good all around pickup, especially for cover tunes.

You can do some metal rock and blues.

>>729559611
Lack the sustain of a real, heavy les paul.

>>729559423
It takes a refined man to study Tarrega, Have fun with your Taco Bell shitbox tone and fingerpicking Stairway to Heaven in half time.

>>729559494
Cool, to be honest If I was you I would give in to my slash/page desires and get a Les Paul. However if you want a fender with versatility my friend has just purchased a Strat with a humbucker which essentially can do every tone ever.

>>729559424
ah... that does sound like a lot of work, yeah. but I'm glad it all got put together eventually! you liking the JB? I was thinking of a JB/jazz set ages ago, but ended up opting for dual 59s.

>>729559553
Everyone loves a jb

'65 princeton & ES 339

>>729559713
I see. I ask because i coil tapped a suhr doug aldrich bridge in one of my other shittier electrics and it does the job you describe exceptionally well. I think i may like it better than a emg 81. Now i just need to get a worthy guitar to really let it shine.

>>729559730
Yes... kind of but the new Gibsons have stupid weight relief. The Gibson traditionals (not the standard traditionals) are simply awsome.

>>729559978
nice

prolly need to get a better amp at some point as i'm still using a line 6 jam lil

>>729559750
Tarrega is what niggas is learning in middle school. Lol shitbox tone? >>729558473

>>729559808
See I don't have a lot of money to spend on a guitar, £150 max, which is like $200. There's some awesome Fenders for that price like a Bullet or a Squier as I already have a POD LINE 6 XT Station for effects and such. A Les Paul is simply too expensive for me.

>>729559808
>>729559494
To get slash tone you need alnico 3 pickups i believe. They are warm and smooth

Sup guitar /b/ros

I've been playing guitar for a few months on a super shitty squire strat. I need an upgrade. How much is a respectable amount to get a high-quality guitar, and what type? I was thinking a used MIM Strat for around $350. Thoughts?

>>729559853
I think you meant bj

>>729560145
Like i said virgins and fedoras

>>729560150
Is that that satch one?

>>729560272
Have no fear child I too use £. Then for that money I would probably recommend a squire. A classic vibe if possible. Frankly if its your thing a epi sg is about £220 new and would get quite close to the les paul sound.

>>729560360
And a hat

>>729560384
Save more till you have 500. You will see the difference even if its used.

>>729560689
Well if were playing that game then you also have to be a mongoloid nigger

>>729560384
A MIM would be a nice upgrade.

>>729560272
Get a Mexican Strat. If you watch old video of the Fender factory, you'll see that Mexicans were making the guitars anyway.

>>729560419
Yes my apologies.

>>729560726
I would, but I feel like thats A LOT of money to spend on something I've only been doing for a few months

>>729560624
I was really considering a Vintage Reissue as they have the same style and set up as a standard les Paul and they are like £200. But i really like playing all sorts from John Frusciante to Blink 182 to Pink Floyd, and in my opinion I don't think you get the same versatility in a Les Paul as you would in a Fender, but I'm no expert at the same time!

>>729560805
And come from Stoke on Trent

>>729560972
If you ain't in it for the long haul, quit now.

>>729560613
yeah, js1200

one of the most solid strats i've ever played, plus fast as fuck when you wanna shred

pisses over any cs fender i ever played, and i've been playing since 1990ish on and off.

>>729560995
I suppose it depends but if you get a fender with just single coils it wont do the humbucker thing. Much like the LP won't do the single coil thing.

>>729560874
Bro Mexican strats are fuckin expensive lol

>>729561181
I can always install a humbucker, Seymour Duncan Invader pick ups are awesome too

>>729561331
Well assuming the fender strat (for example) is routed for a humbucker. Although you could use a one of those mini humbuckers.

>>729560040

I used the 81 for years when I was younger but when I switched to passive I'll never go back to the 81 again.

>>729560995
Thats why you get a guitar with coil tapping/splitting. Do your research some pickups sound better than others split. As i have previously recclommended i suggest suhr doug aldrich pickups.

>>729561507
See although I've been playing for 2 years, I really don't know much about pickups and which are better. I've been trying to educate myself and from what I've seen, most fenders are single coil for crisper sound but I can manipulate that to sound heavier on the effects station instead of having to install humbuckers or an invader perhaps

>>729561136
>>729560972
Pretty much what he said. Also you will find the guitar more playable and fun to use.

>>729561146
Nice i dont like ibanez but that one and the jem are sweet or should i say they are da bomb.

>>729561635
Its a pickup that needs the right voicing to it. Surprisingly i get some of my best blues tones with the emgs and my marshall jcm900 on the channel with less gain.

Not all of my stuff, but honestly pleased with this

>>729561754
Yeah to be fair you can sound heavy with single coils. It annoys me when people say you cant play X with Y pickups. Its just if you really wanted to match tones you would need the right kind. To be honest if your still learning I would reccomend going on the feel rathert than the tone.

I think you're right, you really need the right amp to harness the power of that 81.

The 81 with old marshals sound incredible, with modern amps i don't the 81 does so well.

>>729555240
Man, it's rare to see single humbuckers nowadays. Shame. They're my favorite.

Although I do wish I can get my hands on an original NightSwan.

>>729561867
i tend to go with what feels right for my hands and sounds right to my ears, rather than get a guitar based on the headstock name or even the looks

always try as many guitars as you can and see what sits right for you

Ive never tried the single coil emgs i wonder how they sound. I know david gilmour uses them.

>>729562607
Me too. The dean custom 550 i posted feels perfect to me. It feels sturdy like a les paul. And ive tried some thin necked guitars that feel like shit.

>>729562876

I've heard them live before they're very clean, a nice sparkle.

You will hear every mistake, but gilmour is no slouch.

>>729562083
Dimarzio makes some single coils that are really "stacked" humbuckers. They can cover a lot of the heavier stuff.

>>729562507

Yeah basically i wanted it to be an 80's hard rock/metal guitar

This is Gibson's big middle finger to fender, mini hum, single coil, and tele slant hum. 5 way position switch w/coil tap to make the hums single coil. Pretty wild shit.

>>729564219
Thanks! I also posted my other Strat earlier (Olympic White CS). The Candy Apple Red is a YJM sig strat (2002). The Carr is a Mercury 1X12. Awesome amp for recording and can totally cover a small gig. It can also take several power tubes (KT66, EL34, KT88, 6L6) and all you need to rebias is a cheap multimeter (bias knob on back, no need to drop out the chassis).

>>729564903
I have a fuzz face too! Its great.

>>729565568
Fuzz is one of those effects that a lot of people have no clue how to use. I think it sounds best into a cranked amp. Most fuzz into a clean amp = bad times/sound.

>>729566119
Exactly. A good one will also clean up when you back the volume down a bit. James Santiago from Voodoo Labs has a really great video on how to use a fuzz:

Pretty awesome finish I think
