The old adage that heavy guitars sound better isnt always true.
Try playing heavy guitars live for hours, its hell.
Once you start going north of like 8lbs you start to really feel every single ounce of that weight.
I started having back problems after playing a heavy les paul for years. I switched to an SG and the pain went away.

>>71014195
>>71014128
I had this Olive green one and the P90 Red one and they were worse than the Squier VM. Same issues with both, replace the pickups and the non traditional parts such as the hardtail and toggle switch just makes it a 2 pickup short scale Strat. Get the VM for $250 and drop an extra $50-100 on new pickups and you'll have a great sounding $350 traditional Mustang. You can also pay double and get a Jap one

>>71014612
You never owned any of those guitars though and you have no idea what you're talking about

>>71014195
I wouldn't buy one myself but hopefully this'll lead to some short scale maple necks being available on ebay

>>71014562
This. I have a les paul with modern weight relief and multiple people have told me that the light les pauls don't have the sustain of a full body les paul. Me and a buddy tested this once and mine lasted a good 5-10 seconds longer each time we held the same note.

Plus I probably won't need back surgery in 30 years.

hello, I have two questions

1. what are some good pedals/pedal combinations to create weird sounds?
I'm just looking to create super fucked sounds

2. what are some good playing techniques to make weird sounds?

if you can answer either of these that would be great

>>71014748
And the tone?

>>71014809
It is
Tone is mostly psychological. The mental image of yourself holding and playing the insrument matters a lot.
You're gonna play better on a guitar that looks cool

>>71014080
>>71014809
looks like every guitarist is a narcissist Leo these days

I'm buying a case, what should i look for?

>>71015041
Play it before buying in case you dont like its tone and regret spending money

>>71014874
I'm sure if you played a full body LP and an LP with weight relief back to back you would be fully confident that whichever one you like better sounds the best.

>>71015068
I already have the guitar, i just want a new case, a hard one.

>>71015114
yes i understand dont go and regret the case

If people see you have a great looking or expensive guitar they'll expect more from you. If you go on stage with some ugly and cheap piece of shit but play AMAZING they'll be blown away even more easily.

>>71015264
What is delay hold

>>71014785
maher loves Clapton and you hate him

go figure

>>71015253
I never once played a hollow body electric guitar that I liked, I always feel like I'm in danger of breaking it if I hit it too hard

>>71015284

Delay has a setting called decay that affects how long the delay will trail in terms of milliseconds usually. Setting it up to never decay causes that sound to keep repeating at the specified interval continously until you turn the repeat hold off.

So you can literally add layer after layer of sounds to create weird bullshit.

The way they vibrate against your body is similar to an acoustic guitar, plus you do get that bit of air moving through the f-holes that's enough to make a difference in the experience of playing one. Depending on your pickups you might be able to pick up some of that acoustic quality. Plus they're really light. A 335 for example to me feels like a more sophisticated Les Paul. Every Les Paul i've played just feels like shit now...

Same goes for hollowobodies (but they're less versatile because of feedback issue)

>>71015379

>>71015465
instruments don't die, inspiration does

>>71015424
I like it on semi-hollows because the feedback isn't extreme and easily controllable. On a full hollowbody it'll basically react like an acoustic guitar played through the amp, the feedback is totally out of control. You can get away with using a thinline hollowbody like a casino though

What about an actual acoustic guitar with a soundhole PAF pickup? Would it sound even fuller?

>>71015255
The first run of the Jag bass was so much better than the current.

Try to find it. It had the JJ pickups and a J neck but it had the ability to run the pickups in series or parallel so you could do either J or P sounds.

The new jag bass is really just a P/J with a different body. Not really a new bass.

Guitar is just another instrument and can be used as such, neither good nor bad. If you don't understand that music doesn't come from a piece of wood or any other material object, then it's your fault.

The sound of a vibrating string is fundamentally musical. And it's basically the guitar's sound. Theremins are a weird electronic novelty from the 20s. Very shitty example.

No, because see above, and learn how not to exaggerate.

>>71015553
American line comes off the production line in predetermined appointments and colors.

The custom shop will also allow dealers to order some 'custom' guitars. For example your local shop may decide to order 20 strats with soft V neck made out of all rosewood. Or something more exotic to draw in customers to something you can only get at their shop.

The quality is probably the same to my knowledge. I think the 'custom shops' you buy premade from the shops are just plek machined and not hand made for you like a true custom which has some guy in the Fender shop build for you to your choice of spec and color.

The Americans come in several lines and the American production instruments don't cut corneres and have the best components. Where as the mexi and squire guitars cut corners everywhere to reduce cost and production time. Fretting, wiring, wood dryness, bridge type, tuner type, glue, finish, paint, neck etc are all done much better in the USA. If you can fix a guitar yourself you can buy amexican but this usually involved drying the wood and recurving the radius of the rosewood.

Special:
$1000 gets you a 'modern' guitar with texas special pickups aka a little hotter than the typical for more rock tone.

American Professional: The new meme line with a 'deep C' neck which gives you a fat neck for the chording part of the neck and a thin one for shredding. Seems to make sense but I havn't played it. The pick ups are also really great. The shawbucker in particular because it gives you a humbucker sound while still balancing with the two single coils and sovles the problem that HSS has had forever of the two tones just not going well together.

>American Elite: The souped up strat. Its got the 'noiseless' pickups so they don't hum without being a humbucker. It also has S-1 switching and humbucker only mode.

All these guitars are made on the same line though. The prices just reflect the fancier appointments. the quality of each build is the same.

Also the Vintage series recreates the classic appointments from the pre-cbs years that purists love to collect. They sound actually slightly different then the legit ones but who knows if that has to do with age or what.

Also, the artist series guitars are nice because you can get some of the other random appointments you can't on the regular line.

For example the EJ strat is essentially a 57 strat but it has a 12' radius fretboard and a bound rosewood neck.

The Jim Root is a metal Stratocaster. etc.

I ended up buying an Eric Johnson and I didn't even know who he was until I looked up him up later. I just thought his guitar felt the most comfortable and sounded the best.

Hope that helped. I have had Mexican instruments and they always reveal their flaws after a couple of changes of season. You end up living with their problems or paying to get it fixed, or doing it yourself.

Also, one of the few recurring problems from the American line is the finish they use Nitrocellulose laquer on some instruments. This is the one they used in the 50s so people like it, though I don't know if its just nostalgia or if its actually better. Anyway its notoriously hard to apply and sometimes the neck will get too much making it feel 'sticky' to play. The extra finish will wear off after a few weeks of use and it will be fine but people who don't know will often freak out and return the guitar until the finish is perfect.

In fact I think the NItro finish tends to wear off faster which some people like some people don't. So if you want a brand new guitar look you might want to avoid it. If you want it to look aged you may want to get it.

Because apparently we need more evidence that guitar is being replaced by laptops. Now you can use a laptop to make relevant music while still being able to reach your novelty instrument(really what guitar has been since
the 50s) to still feel like your years of practice still matter. Apple has always been ahead of the trends, its not different now.

all i can make out of it is that its in the key of C minor, but i dont even know if the guitar is tuned down, or what chord figures it is using.

Also i would like to know what good excersises i can do to learn to improvise like the solo part, like i get the feeling its kinda hendrix inspired, but how do you even begin to learn that? are there good transcriptions of hendrix solos? what scales are used?

you need a deep knowledge of why each chord, why each note is used to be able to play guitar

otherwise you're just a mindless ape copying others. that's a sin

Holding the pick tight in the fingers gives a sharper, tighter tone and a louder sound on acoustics
Holding the pick loosely and strumming hard doesnt give the same effect of a tight, confident sound

Everyone always talks about sustain like it even matters. Are you playing 30 second suspended single notes? I think even a Strat with a bolt-on neck will be more than enough sustain than regular player needs. "Oh, my guitar only sustains for 13 seconds" Really, who EVER plays a single note for than long in real life? Queers, that's who

>>71018569
I've never once played a Strat or a Tele and though hmmm, this guitar doesn't sustain long enough. But I've played plenty f Gibsons and thought hmm, this doesn't have enough attack to the notes.

>>71018569
If it stops sustaining you just pluck it again whats the problem

>>71019268
Clarity is not bottom end clarity is brightnes you stupid

>>71019268
You mean a tight low end? You're better off with a cranked overdrive. Every fuzz I've ever used has been super mids scooped and low end saturated; very little definition. Overdrive would probably do what you want: it's more agressive with the mids which cut through in the mix.

>>71019268
Try something with a blend knob, or a dual amp setup with one amp dry.

>>71019268
If you're gonna follow >>71019337 advice regarding overdrive; I highly recommend the Darkglass B3K. It's relatively pricey but great-sounding overdrive, it sounds good on both active and passive basses. Best of all it doesn't sacrifice any lows with the right settings.

>>71019517

Depends on your definition of decent. People have different goals.

>>71019481
Try a different instrument. I struggled with guitar for a decade before I picked up a bass and had 10x the fun in a week. Now I focus exclusively on bass but own a guitar for fucking around on.

>>71019427
Something like that will help you retain low end, there are bass fuzz pedals that have a blend circuit built in.

If you're handy with a soldering iron check out guitarpcb, you can get his blend circuit and hes got a few fuzz options. 2 muffs, tomebender, fuzzrite, fuzz face, wooly mammoth, and couole others i believe. Will probably be about $15 for the boards, and probably $50 in parts.

Play to a drum loop. Maybe add tempo-sync delay to a clean rhythm part for a massive chordal sound. Makes me leave space in the music, gives me song ideas.

Feeling really adventurous, learn to play slide guitar in standard tuning with the slide on your pinky finger.

Or just buy a wanky FX pedal.

I have a buddy tha got a brand new one in like 1997 or 98. Red as fuck. First time i thought a guitar was awesome looking. I mean, i was a kid... and to me a strat or "superstrat" was just what guitars were supposed to look like. Les paul was a grandpa shape, tele was hideous. Vs were metal.. I was so naive, i didn't even know there were other shapes.

I got some 12th fret buzz on my 2003 parker fly deluxe, but I don't want to go to a lighter string size and change my string height. There's no buzz on any other frets.

>>71019993
Thats good to know

>>71019922
I write music, but I know fuck all about drums so I usually just try to match it to the guitars after everything else is done. I feel like writing drums before guitar might help me be more creative and have everything flow better though.

>>71019993
Move the string over a bit and smack the fret down a little by hitting a wooden dowel with a hammer gently a little bit. Just don't go attack it like it's your wife's head and you should be ok.

>>71019198
I already came out to my family

>>71019993
>>71020058
The 13th fret, that is. That's probably the higher one

I feel like that headstock doesn't stay attached for long

I'm seriously asking how I can fix this problem. Fuck off.

Could it have to do with the tension spring in the bridge or the truss bar? I know it's a 10, and I use 10's so there really should be any issue since I have the bridge in the locked position.

I told ya, ya bonehead. Do the dowel thing. It's probably poppin up a bit. Just tap it down. If that doesnt work then maybe the 12th is too low. You'll have to get all the frets filed. You could do it yourself, but you probably can't do it yourself.
