For chorus the EHX Small Clone and the Boss CE-2w are pretty much the standards. Anything more expensive is probably getting into more experimental choruses.

Fuzz is a matter of taste, there's everything from thin and buzzy to fat sounding, and weird noisy shit. I would get a Big Muff to start out with, check out Chicago Stompworks their Big Muff clones sound way better than what EHX currently produces.

Does anyone know anything about this Framus?
I think it is Sorella, but don't know which year.
Is it worth $345?
Is it really hipster garbage?

Are japanese fenders a meme

>>72307696
Look at the frets....unless you can do guitar repair I would skip out on it. If the frets are in that shape I can only imagine the neck is totally fucked, how does that even happen?

Framus' archtops are actually pretty good though, would be worth up to $600 if it was in good working condition

>>72307662
The CE stands for "cunts evaporating" cause it turns vaginas into deserts. The 2 is the improved version, gurantees even more dryness.

What do you think of this Washburn?
It's the WCSD30S, woodcraft series.

Redpill me on cheap electric guitars (<$550, Squiers, low end MIM Fender, Epiphones etc) /gg/, if I find one that's comfortable to play, and pair it with a good amp (>$500?), will I sound good? I'm convinced that tonewood is bullshit when it comes to electrics, so I don't care about that.

No they're awesome and sometimes come with US pickups. My 62 reissue is one of my favorite guitars.

>>72307696
>>72307766
LOL look at these frets

>>72307960
Find ine that plays nice, swap pickups to something nice, maybe change tuners and bridge, can easily be a well playable guitar with little effort.

Your amp will make a bigger difference overall.

>>72307844
The frets themselves might not be a hard repair (you could probably do it yourself (glue +clamps) but I would bet anything the neck is unplayable I have no idea how that would even happen.

For that guitar I wouldn't pay more than $100 desu.

>>72308022
What if I can't change pickups? Still playable with stock? Would normie audiences even be able to tell the difference in sound quality desu?

>>72307960
Tonewood is not a meme. I upgraded everything on a cheap basswood strat and it doenst sound like a good strat.
At the same time i have another cheap guitar with upgraded pups and stock cheap bridge that sounds decent.
Cheap electrics really can be good, it is possible. You have to look up the model youre after on google and see if their wood is decent and overall construction.

>>72308173
Interesting, considering I'm right.

>>72307977
Mike McCready also had a japanese '62 reissue, he recorded the first pearl jam albums with it.

>>72307828
Marty one that round, like he always does.
His phrasing and bends make it sound better than the other guy just playing scales up and down.

You hear Marty and you immediately know it's him

Threadly reminder that Japanese guitars > Murrican guitars

>>72308242
You know that he's McCready right?

>>72308223
Marty was better. Period.

The only reason people ride Jason's nut so hard is because of what happened to him. He got ALS, and it fucking sucks. It's one of the most tragic stories in all of music, but people think that automatically makes him better than he was.
He was good, really good, but Marty was always better.

>>72308212
Mim: better electronics
Mij: better wood and finish
Mia: shit

>>72308254
As a proud owner of an Ibanez guitar made in Japan, you're right.

It's miles ahead of my other, Indonesian made Ibanez.

Quick question for you guitarists of /gg/, who is your favorite drummer? Which drummer do you want to jam with the most?

Greg Saunier for me. He would be a blast to play with.

>>72308254

>>72308327

>>72308344
peter criss

>>72308354
yes you can
just try many of them until you find a good one
thing with the construction on mims is consistency, they can be well built or poorly built

im poor too, when i get a fender it will be a mexican one also

>>72308327
Japanese fenders have really poor pickups honestly, they are standard series tier.
The higher end mims have usa pickups at least

>>72308212
Depends if you want a nitro finish or not, the MIM Classic 50s Laqcuer feels pretty much like an MIA guitar but still has the cheap Mexican pickups. If you don't care about the finish go for a ST57tx since it comes with USA Texas Special pickups.

>>72308399
what differs on these pickups?
standard pickups arent good enough? like a 57/62 set, theyre great, whats above them

its not that i care much about strat pickups as much as i care to get a super distortion original from the 70s that has a magnet of slightly different composition due to the magnet builders of the time, and arent wax potted

>>72308427
I always get really jealous when I see the cool shit that Fender Japan sells. You can still get it over here but it's less convenient.

>>72308289
Actually the reason why his story is so sad is that he was literally the, THE, single best musician to ever touch a guitar that happened to be struck down before even reaching his prime. Nobody else had even nearly as much touch or influence on exactly how each note should sound, and nobody had as much technical ability while also being able to convey that much emotion. He was the ideal guitar player. A musician that comes along once maybe every 150 years.

What are the acoustic guitars I should check out / look out for if I'm coming from playing only classical guitars, and jamming on friend's electrical?

>>72308461
>Nobody else had even nearly as much touch or influence on exactly how each note should sound, and nobody had as much technical ability while also being able to convey that much emotion. He was the ideal guitar player
Ace Frehley does. You can see he feels the groove and the melody going around and building a climax, hooks etc, its an awareness

>>72308350
Maybe if I lived in a universe where Suhr doesn't exist

If you are having any difficulty judging the quality of Fender products, the bottom line is they are all shaky factory line trash

Buy G&L

>>72308517
All guitars are factory line trash. Just get a cheap guitar and set it up right. Anything with a decent neck will sound good with a setup and pickups.

>>72308517
I thought it was common knowledge that G&L was better than Fender. G&L is what Fender was supposed to be, but Leo sold it and it went to shit without him. G&L is what Leo Fender intended Fender to be.

>>72308574
Because they're not as popular as Fender since you're paying for the name when you get a Fender, with G&L you're paying for the quality, but no one cares about that. It's the same reason people are still paying that much for Gibsons in the current year, it's got the name on the headstock.

All you guys saying how much you like japanese guitars and shit though you probably use squiers

>>72308676
I have an Ibanez signature model made in the Prestige factory in Japan.
It's as good as it gets in guitar quality.

I own pic related, MIM fender strat. Should I switch out the neck and middle pickup for a set of SSL1 rwrp's? The standard ones sound pretty nice through my 15 watt bassbreaker but since this is my first electric guitar I don't have much to compare it to.

>>72308886
That's true, mij fenders are really consistent but mim is more like fifty fifty

>>72308977
>The standard ones sound pretty nice

The don't change them. I only change pickups when I can't stand the stock ones.

I dont care too much about pups. I swap magnets and shit out anyway, and its way easier to get a used 6 set than a 7 set.

Strings, lmao, the 7 packs almost always have a wimpy 7th. I have to order online for anything besides e.b. slinkies for 7 anyway.

I wouldnt mind having a 6 just for guests to use or when I try to teach people songs. The 7 always fucks them up for some reason, even if I call out the chords lmao.

i've got another one
>song is in B
>B chord only exists in the bridge or chorus

is this 'creating tension'?

>>72309802
It's a specific order of chords generalized for use with any key or mode.

>>72309844
Yes.

I have a friend who plays ukulele and she knows I play guitar so she asked if I could come over and show her a thing or two on the uke, since they're so similar. So I do and ask her if she wants a guitar lesson too and she thought it was really cool. Then she asked me if I wanted a piano lesson since she plays and next thing I know we're having sex.

>>72309802
When the song is in the key of A and the chords are A E D

>>72309860
Not necessarily though it could be. It just means they didn't use the I chord in the other progressions. They have tons of chords and progressions to choose from so you don't really HAVE to use the primary chord.

I am a non-metal player, is there any reason for me not to buy a fender?

Anyone here a drummer as well? Been fucking around with kits for years, just got my first kit yesterday(shit electric, does the job so far) and I need shit to play. I already know rudiments from drumline years ago; been practicing them and fills to a metronome, and I can keep a beat no problem. I just need more shit to play. I want to eventually move to stuff like stevie wonder, funkadelic, nomeansno, melvins, but all of that has too much going on right now. Been drudging through easy shit, chili peppers(1997 on), police, pink floyd, stp, even fucking audioslave. I remember the first danzig album being hardly anything besides straight forward beats, going to try that but I'm not exactly into that either. Been looking up lists but they all just keep going back to AC/DC. Tried Black Sabbath but the fills are just all over the place, too much for me to keep up with.

Eventually I want to move to Brazil to play in Sammy's kiss tribute band.

>>72310600
Except for when it's not. Take the Dead Island theme for example. Depressing as fuck, but definitely in the key of Gb major, not Eb minor

>>72310686
I never liked fender, until i owned one. It became my main guitar for pop, funk, hip hop, and soul gigs. For punk, metal, and basically anything rock I was doing I still used my gibson(muh humbuckers) but I occasionally even use my fender for that.

2009 American Tele, bought used from a buddy for $450. I always thought they were ugly as fuck, but it really grew on me.

Gibson is an SG, never knew the year. I only know the Tele's cause the guy that sold it to me said the year all the time.

As always, try before you buy.

>>72310690
Nope, not a drummer but I have a feeling learning drums must be massively beneficial for your guitar playing and musicianship in general.
Report back in a few months and tell us how it's affected your guitar playing

>>72310550
how about you fucking google it you stupid ape

>>72310823
Woah there, stop trying to give him legitimate advice in this thread

>>72310536
but true bypass is superior right?

>>72310806
two of the four chords two are minor. You're literally just resolving from a minor to a major every other chord.

>>72310831
No doubt, even actually learning to play bass(not just copying the guitar) made my playing 1000 times better, im more rhythmic and in time than I was before. Also, playing with black guys who play in their church. I was in a group with a bassist and drummer who were phenominal, i had to seriously step my game up.

I'll check back in with updates every so often.

Potentially. True bypass is nice because if your battery or power supply dies you can switch the effect off and it'll pass signal. Buffered bypass needs power to work. A shitty buffer will begin taking away some of your high end but it won't really be noticeable. Several in a row may be noriceable. True bypass won't help you push long cable runs, and you may start to lose that same highend after more than 20ft of cable. A buffer boosts the signal allowing it to travel through the cable less altered. A lot of people now are buying a tone of true bypass pedals and still adding an independant buffer at the front of their chain. Also, since it's become so common now evidence is starting to show that the 3pdt switches used to for true bypass and an indicator led wear out faster than an equivalent dpdt switch. This makes me think that the next big thing will be the millenium bypass(one of the well known pedal guys figured it out, want to say rg keen) that uses a dpdt with a jfet to power and led and give an unaltered signal.

It's just trendy now, you'll only notice shit buffered pedals which are less and less common as the years go buy and old gears dies. Boss buffer is alright, people actually like the centaur(the original soul food basically) buffer and have cloned the buffer stage for independant buffers.

Like the other anon said, it's marketing. There's something to it, bit it doesn't affect practicallity.

Makes you wonder how he's managed to get so many high-profile (Well, as far as '80s metal goes) players in his band.

This guy, he also has no feeling in his solos

>>72312069
>>72312103
johnny didnt use power chords, he used full barre chords - if you hear a band cover the ramones and it sounds off it is because of this (and also the fact that they incorporate upstrokes)

also, im gonna get roasted for saying this but being able to play that fast, for that long at a time, with all downstrokes, is just as difficult as a technique as any other sans the virtuoso shit that everyone here jerks off over

>>72312204
Tesco vee was getting some well enough known 80s guys for a while, and the meatmen arent nearly as well known as the misfits. I like him though. My boss tricked me into going to see danzig on that tour with doyle where they played misfits songs, that actually made the shitty openers and the shitty danzig set worth it. I was super skeptical but it was nice.

>>72312233
Yeah, also that curry nigger that got a signature Peavey.
It's like they speak so highly of each other and they don't realize they're just nigger wankers

>>72312295
I'm not disputing that, i pulled something in my wrist trying to do all downstrokes in my old punk band. It still hurts sometimes if I drum or use a hammer/axe/dildo for too long.

>>72312233
Agreed. But he's actually good at writing unusual progressions and melodies, it's just too bad he feels the need to sloppily slap and wank 90% of the time

Why do you fa/gg/ots like 21 frets? Like give me an actual, real reason why you don't mind 21 fret necks without being a stereotypical Stratfag.

It's a step and a half bend, unless you use .009 strings, good luck.

do you play guitar?

How the fuck do I get rid of the buzz on an electric guitar? I've gone through all the youtube tutorials I could find and tried just about everything short of fucking with the truss rod, cause the way mine's built requires you to remove the strings in order to do it.

I've got a Harley Benton, which is basically a knockoff of a Fender strat. Tried raising the bridge, tried messing with the individual thingies on it, my strings are brand new, nothing seems to be warped or loose, I have no fucking idea why I've had this since I changed the strings.

>>72313003
tooling around with the bridge like that is a rookie mistake. i would recommend you check the neck relief/truss rod but you've already fucked the bridge so bad i recommend just getting the guitar set up instead of even bothering

>>72313090
both

>>72313113
me too

>>72313122

>>72313177
I play both too

>>72313196
that's cool

>>72313181
yeah too bad ;__;

>>72313108
I returned everything to its original positions afterwards and it sounds (and buzzes) the same as before I started fucking with it. I'm a rookie, not a moron.

So, how do I go about checking the relief and rod? Is it something simple enough to explain in a comment or is it off to youtube again?

I really wanted the Gibson Snow Horse to be honest. I was e-mailing Gibson for like a week asking if they were going to make it and they replied back ultimately saying no. I'm still hoping they do because god damn even if the longevity of Gibsons with white finishes is limited it's still fucking gorgeous.

>>72313258
are you looking at the guitar right now? I'll help you out

>>72313289
Yes.

When did fender start outsourcing their instrument production?

>>72313283
aww that's too bad

>>72313258
>how do I go about checking the relief and rod

Capo at the 1st fret, hold down the low E string at the last fret and a 0.010 to 0.012 feeler gauge should just squeak under the string at the 9th fret, touching the fret and the string without appreciably lifting the string.

>>72313310
ok look at the low e string and tell me what you see
>>72313327
stupid shit yo think he has feeler gauges laying around?

>>72313258
best to watch a couple videos on YouTube. Or, you can move the bridge until the upper frets don't buzz, then loosen the truss rod until the lower frets don't buzz.

But yeah, knowing more can't hurt you so check out some videos

Yeah. But at least I got to hold one when I went to go see Brendon Small playing it at this comedy show in Hollywood a year ago.

>>72313327
>>72313344
the best way of explaining this is if your neck is backbowed the strings will always buzz because they dont have enough room to vibrate

if you have alan keys laying around shove one in the truss rod nut and turn left. it sounds like you have an inexpensive guitar so im not too worried about permanent damage

>>72313378
did you fags kiss?

>>72313327
I have no idea what a feeler gauge is. I'm a random guy with a cheap-ass guitar. I don't have a bunch of specialized gear.
>>72313344
A string. What am I supposed to be looking for? The distance from the neck? Angle? The part where it goes into the bridge?

>>72313344
>think he has feeler gauges laying around?

I do, doesn't everyone have feeler gauges lying around?

>>72313461
Yes and yes.

>>72313455
how'd his dick taste?

>>72313447
its difficult to do any real damage when you turn left. and mind you this is in relation to the angle you are viewing the neck at, but i doubt this strat copy has a truss rod at the bottom of the neck

the scariest thing to me for a long time was touching a guitar's truss rod, but i quickly realized that unless you crank the thing to the right it is not going to break. since then i've saved hundreds of dollars by not having to take new guitars to a guitar tech.

>>72313485

that's interesting, never saw a guitar that had autism before

>>72313589
bitch you lie

>>72313565
The arc of the fretboard, if I recall correctly. Basically, how much it sticks out in the middle. If this is about arranging the bridge in the right shape, I'm getting a buzz on the E string.

>>72313628
low or high e?

>>72313653
Low e, the 6th string.

>>72313673
is it a strat style bridge? what kind of guitar is it? post a pic if possible to help me here

>>72313700
Can't post pics. It's a Harley Benton, which is basically a knockoff Fender strat. It's got the standard strat everything.

>>72313597
it has a tremolo strat style bridge or is it hard tail?

no

>>72314245
Literal springs, which connect the plate to a second plate, which is held in place by two screws. And said screws are a bitch and a half to turn, due to the tension.

You know, at this point, I feel like I should just save you the effort and go have it checked out by a tech. I've had a guitar for two months, I'd say there's no shame in letting a professional do it.
