bepis?

i've got a grand or so coming back from income taxes and looking to buy something shiny and nice.

rec me a guitar. i want something "twangy" and generally bright sounding as i'll be playing a lot of jazz, blues, and country.

I've been eyeing some teles but they're still out of my price range, and if i'm going to get one i want a quality one and not a shitty knockoff or cheap one from the dregs of China or Honduras.

Hey i just composed this instrumental in D is it worth shit?

Can we keep talking High end guitars from the other night?

I'm in the market and I want to know opinions.

I want something that can do as close to everything as possible.

Right now I'm strongly leaning towards the EJ Stratocaster at $1850.

What do you guys think?

PRS seems to have nice stuff, I think they are ugly shaped, but they sound great, and I'm instrested in the new Schecter USA lines, anyone have any insight onto this?

That new pine telecaster with the charlie christian neck pickup would be perfect for you since you're playing jazz also, but it's probably going to be a little more expensive.

Got this for 20 dollops at goodwill. How'd I do?

It's missing 3 strings and 2 tuning knobs but that shouldn't be too much of a problem to fix right?

It's an espanola wj-750. I haven't picked up a guitar in over 10 years but I'd like to learn again

>>70563278
I've owned by share of MiM, and Squire. The wood isn't dead, the frets aren't filed, the pickups are overwound, the electronics are glued not soldered, the finishes are poorly done, the tuners are cheap, the nuts are cheap and the result is a guitar that warps, can't sustain, sounds like $200, which is ok for metal and nothing else.

I'm not a poor fag so I'm looking for a guitar that is well made and sounds great.

However, if you know some stuff about Fender for example charging $1800 for squire build quality please share.

I'm leaning towards the maple model as it has the updated pickups, the Rosewood one is actually nice though because he tuned the pickups on that model to balance out the mids produced by the wood so you still get a nice smooth less harsh sound.

>>70563399
why get so defensive
its like music is competition for you

doesnt matter if its $200 or $200,000, its still just a piece of wood.

>>70563250
That Eric Johnson guitar is a good choice. You're at the price point where Fender quality maxes out, anything more expensive will likely not be any better. You're also at the price point where you can commission a custom builder if you want something that feels more handmade.

If you're ever in NYC check out Rick Kelly guitars, they sound and feel amazing. That's one builder's guitars I would prefer to own over a Fender.

Not him but you have to be an idiot to think a 200$ guitar sounds as good as a high end guitar.

It's actually a great wood for guitars, the first teles were made from it.

Don't be so jealous m8. I run with a bunch of Jazz Cats and even though my guitar costs $2500 I'm still considered the poorfag of the group. Most of their guitars start at around $7000.

Good gear makes playing more enjoyable, even if you're just playing open chords, don't be jealous.

>>70563630
work on your rhythm, it's very off in some places. other than that it sounds like it was recorded well. what mic/equipment did you use?

>>70563189
get a strat, no joke. after having it for a good year now, i've been able to mess around with the knobs and such to get a good sense of what i can do with it. the downside of a modelling tube amp is the lack of crisp sound.

>>70563708
daily reminder: fuck you

>>70563618
If I remember right they switched to ash on early teles because if you dropped a pine one it would pretty much always break. Old Fenders weren't the best guitars ever.

Old wood does feel different. It's hard to describe without actually playing these guitars. They ring out like crazy when played acoustically. They don't feel like anything else I've tried.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io5gcFj9Ads

>>70563795
whatever string gauges are in the standard d'addarrio 10 package. been using them since forever and haven't bothered changing, they work fine for me

>>70563656
I've owned enough cheapo guitars and dealt with enough of the problems that come with it to know I'd like to buy a nice one. I'm not sure why you have a problem with that?

>strat
i already have a squire strat and after demoing fender strat after strat, the only good ones are early 60's american made strats, which i don't have the money for.

but even then i'm just sick and tired of looking at them. They're boring and with what i'm after they often sound too flat and dull, which means i'd have to rely on effects and pedals which i don't want to have to manage and lug around.

>>70563821
you're a true patrician m8
the end of gear lust and obsession is when the music starts flowing

>>70563851
Maybe you're just a shit player.

>>70563795
10s are objectively the best

9s are for pussies and 11> are way too thick

>>70563851
>but even then i'm just sick and tired of looking at them

they really are the most boring looking guitars. people say telecasters look boring, but the tele was never trying to be flashy looking in the first place

>>70563795
12-60's because I'm a real man who plays in C standard

>>70563250
I think the PRS shape is beautiful and the guitars are beautiful. I own a Custom 24 with plans to buy more, but there is a point of diminishing returns. It is the most ergonomic guitar I've EVER played, no doubt about that, and its tuning stability is legendary among other notable points, but I would be happy to spend the rest of my life playing midrange guitars as well. PRS look beautiful and play the way they look but if ESP had never dissolved their Standard Series I probably wouldn't have looked elsewhere.

As for high end Fenders, eh. There's nothing the EJ can do that an American Standard or Deluxe can't. Thing is, those lines don't even exist anymore, as Fender is undergoing some weird rebranding phase which I suspect will flop disastrously and they'll be back to naming them American Standard and American Deluxe in a few years.

If you're going "high end", I would suggest sticking within the realm of Fender/Gibson/PRS so that if you ever need to sell that money back you can recoup at least some of it back. Custom shops like Siggi Braun and Mayones and even ESP are tempting, but once you open the case you've devalued the guitar by about 50%, so watch out. I'd stick with the classics.

>>70563815
this video really made me miss living in NYC. a lot :(

I was the same with Strats. Get a Tele it's great straightforward guitar.

>>70563821
I use light top-heavy bottoms(10-52) myself, not much difference from your standart 10's
>>70563894

>>70563958
yeah i play classical as well and i dislike 9s

10 is just a good middle ground. if i was playing anything heavier i might go 11s, but i know people who play 13s and i'd never do that

>>70563958
>I fucking hate the feel of 9s probably because 6 of the 7 years i've been playing has been on classical guitar

9s always felt too dainty for me and they broke too much. i switched to 10s a long time ago.

>arguing about which string thickness is "the best"

is this the power of autistic guitar threads

>>70563989

Yeah like I said, i'm very impressed with the PRS tone. I also like the tops/colors they do. Looks great.

I think Fender is trying to have a new hit. It seems all anyone wants is the old 56 or 64 strats or 52 teles.

They probably decided they wanted to make something that would be as desired as those are. Because they haven't really done that in a while.

And that's good advice. I suppose. I like the schecter history of making fancy strats etc but I've seen $4k instruments from them sell for $1000 at GC and that means the poor guy sold it for less than that.

>>70563978
I've never tried 13s, although its kinda tempting because muh sick toanz, if i get another guitar i might get 13s and tune it to D i guess

>>70563717
I use a Yahama Steinberg UR22 that goes into my computer through my guitar

There's one bit that's pretty much the main riff of Layla, but otherwise I'm just playing around on pentatonics. Any likeness would come from that

>>70564005
i put the high E string in the B string tuner and the B string in the high E tuner

I play 9's on my jag
come at me

i used to play with heavy strings. i liked the fat tone it gave. but for cleans they (i) just couldn't get a good tone. then i got my strat and i stay with 9s because i'm too lazy/poor to try anything new

>>70564234
oh, and another massive improvement i forgot about: stainless steel frets

>>70564283
oh heh i forgot i'm in C standard

>>70564109
It's basic enough to have been done before, but I can tell you I haven't purposefully lifted it from anywhere

I've got it through fl studio, though I've been meaning to learn to use Ableton. Through fl I've added delay and reverb for the percussion sound, but nothing done to it past guitar effects you could find on a pedal. Lately I've been running my pedals through the interface though so I can reproduce any sound through my amp as well

The interface will make your sound cleaner, unless you rely on your amp for a very specific tone, such as a jangly Vox sound

>>70564287
How long does it stay in tune tho?

no tuning issues, even with trem use, because:

I dont yank on my trem like a parking brake, and I actually know how to properly wind and stretch strings

>>70564423
I've got a Vox ac10 I use to play, but when I record it goes guitar->pedals->interface->fl studio
So I don't use my amp in that process

>>70564428
make sure though, that if you get any stainless steel fret guitar, that you buy stainless steel strings.

>>70564479
fl studio comes with a whole mess of guitar effects. When I was using those and not my own, I'd use the native reverb, compression, eq and occasionally whatever specific effect I need

Ableton has less helpful native plugins, but it also has amp modelling which fl doesn't seem to, which is why I'd like to learn it. Also fl studio sounds less impressive than knowing Ableton or a real DAW

>>70564532
no, you can't

if you try to slap 13s on most guitars, they won't even fit on a lot of nuts

The only thing wood does is make your guitar look different because of different grain patterns. You also could consider light and heavy for the fact that you have to wear it.

Rosewood and maple does make a difference, but not enough for anyone besides the faggot playing to care or hear.

>>70564718
the worst thing about modern PRS guitars there

the bullshit heel that they use now
>>70564727
yep, same pickups and hardware as the full fat custom models with a better design

makes it much easier to shave down that godawful heel

so why si PRS so popular now?

10 years ago some faggot in my high school loved Creed and mark tremonti and wouldn't shut up about the things. He had one of the cheapo PRS guitars.

Why did they become #3 guitar company in the world over schecter, ESP, or some others?

>>70564739
dont waste your time with these retards.
they would realize wood means shit when they put expensive pickups into a crappy squier and it sounds like $3000.....wait actually they wouldn't, they would find a way to convince themselves it still sounds like shit

>>70564739
getting the lightest wood possible with the tightest grain on the fretboard* is the best way to go

*if you use smaller frets and can feel the fretboard under your fingers
>>70564791
the SE and S2 line, and also because people want a slightly different but still very familiar guitar

PRS is literally just a middle ground instrument, it's a cross between a strat and a les paul/les paul jr in every way

>>70564791
It became TheGearPage's guitar brand to circle jerk over. It's being taken over by Suhr so they're trying to get rid of all their PRS to be in the forefront of midlife crisis cool. I was selling some Teles, A Strat and a mustang and most trade offers were for different level PRS'

It's either Suhr, Nash, Swade or any other "Literally who?" Fender copycat in the business, then they resell the damn thing at the price they bought it or more excepting us to know the builder in butt-fuck nowhere USA's name.

It was by far the nicest 750 dollar guitar I've ever had. Made really nice, smart build with the nut, locking tuners, bass contour and the neck and frets were as good as I've ever had. Honestly thing the frets were done nicer than any of the USA or Japanese guitars I've had.
The P90 was really good, I didn't like the humbucker but thats an easy swap.

>>70565564
Just prior to recapitulation.
It's F7 to Bb7(V of Eb) followed by Fb7, bII in Eb or N4/3 in this case since thinking back I have it in second inversion with a seventh, which then moves to an A7 to Dm7 and finally back to G7 to reach CM7 and the main theme again.
The Neapolitan doesn't have its usual powerful statement it makes because its not a chromatic function here and it doesn't stay in Eb(or even play it) for long.
It would be hard to spot it.

>>70565133
Suhrs are gay but they are fucking perfect in terms of playability and sound.

Just string it backwards, all you need is a new nut. Don't buy a guitar with a slanted bridge because then it won't intonate.

Fender Light? Or is there something "lighter" than that?

I same as the one I was looking at, I'll decide which ever is available when I get to the shop.

It's a new Ibenis day lads, pics soon

>>70568575
its a scale of how much tone you can get out of them.

higher number means more tone.

>>70568575
gauge of thinnest string

8s = 8-38, 9s = 9-42, 10s = 10-46, 11s = 11-49, 12s = 12-52, etc

Oh and I forgot, thanks fa/gg/ots.

>>70568602
Congratulations lad
New Ibenis day is always a good day

>>70568575
it's the gauge of the highest e string
usually it's to reference the entire set
a set of 9's is thinner than a set of 10's
for electric you generally go light (.09 or .10) while acoustic is generally medium (.11 or .12)

i'd recommend you look up string gauges.

Hi Rom Rom

What's the consensus on goodgoy guitars /gg/?

>>70569070
A bunch of ripped off designs made competently in the East, overpriced and shilled to teenagers by a spotty nu-metal fatboy

What amp is this?

>>70569146
Why is your Ibanez not in a hard case, anon? Surely you didn't buy a non-Japanese Ibanez

>>70569189
What is that guitar tho?

nvm found it in the meantime
What an ugly thing, I like BCR early designs but I never got the Ironbird, it just looks so awkward.

Fucking why

>>70569211
sick as fuck

>>70569221
I know it's a Sunn amp, just never seen that model.

>>70569230

they were scared of the competition

big companies do this all the time

They could be making a killing by reissuing those amps right now. They would probably be a bigger source of revenue for them than their non-reissue Fender amps.

>>70569251

Weren't Sunn typically targeting a more niche market like Doom and Stoner genres? I don't think they were eating into Fender's market at all, and it's not like Fender have filled that gap themselves since. Mesa and Orange have been doing a better job in that regard.

This thing is lovely

>>70569291

Sunn died when stoner and doom were barely gaining ground.

I'm sure there's lots of people who played Sunn before the whole stoner craze, Tony Iommi did for a while, John Entwistle played like 20 Sunn heads at the same time, Buzz from Melvins and Agata from Melt-Banana.

>>70569321
Ugly switch

Decided on a Casino, but the store don't restock for another month.

Coupe models are £100 cheaper and I even prefer the finish. Worth getting or waiting though?

>>70569379
it's just a feel/preference thing. it's exactly the same except it has a 339-shaped body instead of a 335-shaped one. just go to guitar center and sit down with a epiphone dot and a 339 (every one i've been to had both on the wall somewhere) and see which one you like the feel of more. if you like the bigger body better it's definitely worth waiting instead of compromising and selling it in 3 months.

>70569413
this is good advice

personally i find the coupe handles a lot more like a regular electric, whereas with the full size 335 feels more like a real hollowbody. youll get a tiny bit less acoustic response form the coupe as well

>>70564164
fuck yourself snob, Andy's a saint

>>70569450
the tones he gets are often really unrepresentative of what the gear in question sounds like irl. i blame his fingerstyle.

>>70569413
>>70569438
Think I'll wait then. Used to own a Dot and loved the feel.

Thanks.

Really want to get one of their 12 strings.
