Just picked up one of these and am waiting for it to be delivered.
Did I do good, /gg/?
Pic is my current guitar. 1972 SG II. Beat to shit, only one pic up works, the previous owner replaced the originals with some cheap shitty ones anyway. Need to replace the Bridge with a wrap over tune-o-matic for stability and use ability.
My amp is a Tiny Terror, best investment I ever made gear wise.
I've been playing about 10 years, started to go down hill a bit recently because I've not had enough time. But I'm trying to get a three piece hardcore band together. Found a drummer and a bassist who are both up for it.
Sup.
>>60274102
A few years ago I was after one of those. They're usable, but the "tone-wicker" is basically a bright switch as far as I can tell. If you got a good deal and didn't buy new, then yeah why not.
Why is there so much hate on Rob Chapman here?
Also are his guitars any good?
>>60274275
Because he's popular. I remember when he first started out. He's just a guy.
>>60274102
I fucking hate them myself, but I guess that's just a taste thing; lots of people love them.
TS808 all the way for me.
>>60274275
>Why is there so much hate on Rob Chapman here?
Envy mainly, he was a usual dude that started a guitar company, 90% people here would love that too.
>Also are his guitars any good?
They are okay, but overpriced as hell
>>60274275
He made a documentary about his own band. His band made their own masterclass of learning how to sound like them. I mean, he's not a horrible guitarist, he just isn't that great and his style is pretty limited. What makes Chapman annoying is his ego. He THINKS he is amazing.
>>60274212
Are you sure those pickups are replaced? They sure look original to me.
The SGII had black plastic covered mini HBs and a stoptail bridge just like yours does. I'd take it to a repair guy to get it looked at before you go about modding it. It could be something as simple as a switch that has gone bad.
I like playing guitar, but just practicing scales is boring and I'm too shit to play the songs I like. I have no motivation to practice, half the time.
>>60274494
Learn the songs you like, slowly, step by step, start really slow, and then build up the speed. It's not that hard
>>60274413
I'm 90% sure the it's the switch that went actually. And yeah, the wiring inside is dodgy enough to make me think that they might be replaced.
I did have it looked over by a repair guy as well, but I've been too busy to take it in and get it really sorted.
>>60274494
I taught my self guitar by just having it on my lap all the time when I was doing other shit.
On the computer? Guitar on my lap.
Eating dinner? Guitar on my lap.
Playing vidja? Guitar on my lap.
Just make it inevitable.
>>60274494
Download rocksmith 2014 and buy a rocksmith cable. its a fun way to learn guitar. its not the best way... but sure is fun. once you can play a little switch to a more serious way of leaning.
also rocksmith has some "fun" mini-games for scales and such.
>>60274620
sorry for that pick. it wasn't supposed to upload.
On a side note. i will be picking up that guitar tomorrow, my 2nd. cant wait.
If I'm fed up of hearing one thing its that people "lack motivation". Fuck your motivation, just do it. If you force yourself to do it for 10 minutes you'll probably find yourself doing it for 20/30 minutes and enjoying it.
Just make doing SOMETHING towards your goals an unavoidable part of your life.
>>60274275
Chapman's just a regular guy who has a decent gig at Anderton's. He managed to become popular enough that Anderton's decided to start a guitar line with his name on it. Despite all that, he's just a regular guy with regular guy-level flaws, most notoriously a lack of ability to take criticism from anonymous people on the Internet.
This rubbed at least one anon here the wrong way, and it resulted in lots of people openly hating him here.
As for the guitars, they're quality. They're made by World Guitar Company in South Korea, the same plant that made all the MIK Epiphones for Gibson and a bunch of overseas models for lots of other makers. About the only thing that's strange about them is the specs, but that's on Chapman and not the makers.
what do you think /gg/ ?
>>60275432
I like 8 strings, but that shape is just horrendous.
>>60275432
Pretty cool
>>60275432
>dots
>>60275706
still better than the retarded shark tooth inlay
>>60275432
no upper fret access? what use could joining the body at the 13th fret possible have?
>>60273985
Sgs are great I have an epi version cost me 300 second hand did I get ripped off?
>>60274494
Make up your own songs. Every time you pick up the guitar look for a new lick. I also get bored when I spend a lot of time on scales, so I switch back to making music and the enjoyment comes back. Strike a balance between technique and creativity.
>>60275776
Joining the body at the 13th fret probably gives off more sustain. I'm guessing you can also rest your hand on the "horn" when tapping.
Also it doesn't hinder upper fret access, there's been basses with this shape for years now.
>>60275812
I know like, one scale. I've just decided to learn the standard stuff like Johnny B Goode so I can still raise my finger dexterity and not bore myself to death.
>>60275781
If it's the set neck Epi SG, that's about what they go for.
If it's the bolt neck, you spent about $50-75 too much.
>>60275897
Sor Studies are always good for dexterity.
>>60274345
I know where you are coming from with the muff hate, but every since getting into smashing pumpkins I've gone to thinking they're shitty to thinking that they can make some of the sickest tones I've ever heard.
Is this good for a first guitar?
http://www.guitarcenter.com/Rogue/Rocketeer-Electric-Guitar-Pack.gc?pfm=sp
>>60276795
No.
How long is it gonna take me to stop being so slow at chord changes?
This is hands down the hardest part of learning the guitar for me right now. Switching between chords AND making sure the sound good and aren't completely botched.
>>60276830
Any recommendations? Keep in mind that it has to be cheap.
>>60276795
yes, if you hate yourself
get a used mim strat or something
even a used squier standard (not bullet or affinity) would work well
and epiphone les paul/SG's go for cheap used
Asked this a couple threads ago but I'll ask again, anyone with any experience with Shin Ei fuzz clones have any recommendations?
>>60273985
Let me just say I really appreciate /gg/'s ever-expanding database of musical resources.
>>60276866
>Keep in mind that it has to be cheap
Wait until you have more money, anything is going to be shit at that price range.

can you tell me what's wrong with the one I linked?
also what amplifier? I'm completely green when it comes to stuff like that.
Any recommendations for a good-quality first bass guitar?
>>60274620
but so much is in the wrong tuning.
i know for a fact that redfang plays in drop-c
not drop d.
and i play drop-c.
yet the game wont let me even try without tuning the guitar to whatever the designers thought every damn time.
the UI is also god damn terrible, even on pc.
>>60277008
I'm buying an Yamaha TRBX174, but only because anything else is either shit or too expensive for a first timer here. Pretty excited to start bass.
Also, I'm almost done downloading the Dave Ellefson bass DVDs. Is anyone interested in them? I could make a torrent or upload them to MEGA, would that work?
>finally starting to get decent at bass

>>60274620
rocksmith is a video game
stop recommending video games for legit learning purposes
>>60276849
We have all been there. Keep at it.
Is having my thumb like this really as big a deal as my guitar teacher makes out? 9/10 guitarists I see have their thumb like this some of the time.
>>60277611
no, but if you play scales like this that would be autismo
>>60277611
Keep your thumb in this position and try to do some big stretches. You'll see how painful it is compared to doing it with the thumb on the back of the neck
>>60277488

>>60275897
I spent some early days on Chuck and I don't regret it.
I was jamming with my dad (He was on the bass) yesterday and for the second time, I noticed how the bass amp destroyed my Marshall, so, I thought a bit about it. Seems like having it with the rear against the wall wasn't a great idea and rearranged everything in this way, sound really improved on the lower and and it definitely sounds bigger now. Silly me.
>>60277795
What does that prs shape with the twin hums sound like anon? Nice bass's btw
>>60277902
*BASS
When I heard about counterfeit Gibsons and Fenders, I started to worry about being taken in by a fake Jackson. LEL, it doesn't look likely to happen any time soon.
>>60277902
Huh, like a fat Strat basically, and that's what it is. Twangy but with plenty of lower end due to the pickups, that btw, are single coils (SD Phat Cat).
I don't use it tho since it doesn't sound good with the Marshall, neither with the things I play. I want to try it with a Fender amp or something more vintage and see how does that work. That P-Bass is great, lots of different sounds and really comfy.
>>60275954
It is a set neck. Hmm I thought bolt ons would cost more oh well safe purchase all round l cheers mate
>>60277330
Please upload them, stepfam. Use MEGA. How large is the file size?
>>60277611
...And 9/10 guitarists in the world have bad form. Your teacher is right to fuss at you about it, because you're building habits right now. He wants you to build GOOD habits, so everything else becomes easier.
You can't progress beyond a certain point if you don't have good form. Learn good form now and the rest of the time playing guitar gets to be the fun stuff. Don't learn good form and it all becomes work on improving your form to overcome the problems your shitty form gets you into.
>>60277611
just play however is most comfortable to you
>>60277330
pls upload f@m
I want an combo or amp and cab for ~500 pounds that will be good for drone doom and sludge but I would also like to be able to play blackgaze on it.
I have no idea where to start or what I should be looking for
What's a good song for getting my barre chords sorted?
>>60278446
>black gays
Get a tiny terror
>>60276866
I would say squier affinity series is the cut-off point. don't go any lower or you'll regret it later.
I don't know about other brands.
>>60278446
Look for a used Orange Dark terror/Tiny Terror. Put a nice fuzz in front and tune down to fuck.
It's 15 watts but on fucking tubes, that's a lot mate. Once you're cranked it'll sound fucking epic. Mic'd, up your tone will fucking rape all those asshole's compensating with huge amps.
What's the 'best' Gibson LP model < $1000? Looking for a nice step up guitar to do some recording. Various rock oriented genres.

>>60278651
>>60278712
thnx guys, what kind of 412 would be best for around 300 I'd have left over?
>>60278658
noooo Squier Standard should be the cutoff point D: I would not recommend any $99 guitar, Epi or Squier.
>>60278716
-500 pounds
m80
>>60278658
I would say at least anything above affinity desu.
>>60276969
lmao and they will be reposted for months until someone fixes it.
>>60278716
Under £500 you'll not do much better. Blackstar equivalent is too modern sounding, everything else is trash. A mic'd up terror is as loud as you'll ever need and with a fuzz in front gain wont be an issue.
>>60278748
get a fuzz for the doom stuff and a boost pedal for your black gaze stuff, maybe a reverb pedal aswell for your blackgays
>>60278750
That's not the point, you need a high headroom amp for drone doom
>>60277008
Without knowing your budget, I'll simply recommend passive instead of active pickups for your first bass.
>>60278784

how's this for a setup?
>>60276973
>>60276795
that guitar is fucking horrible m8, you won't last 2 weeks playing on that thing and I guarantee the amp is going to be so useless you'll never want to take the trouble to actually hook all of your shit up and play out loud.
Buying the cheapest starter pack possible is SETTING YOURSELF UP TO FAIL. You're admitting that you're approaching your new hobby with the intention of quitting (minimizing your loss by getting a shit instrument)
Save up $300 up a nice beginner guitar like an Epiphone LP or a used Fender mim strat that will hold all resale value if you decide to quit.
>>60278819
sounds like you got those bases covered then bro goodluck
>>60278857
if i were you i wouldnt pay full price for a cab, especially orange. I know they make excellent cabs but they are fucking expensive. Go used for the cab, you can probably find something decent, more speakers, for much less money
>>60278906
alright, I don't really know anything about cabs, what should I be looking for?
>>60278857
Definitely look into some second hand gear mate, first hand is usually a rip off. You can probably save £100 second hand.
As for pedals with the other cash, Try to find a second hand Devi Ever Hyperion or something similar. Something that's harsher than a Muff, but less than £100
>>60277008
If you can get something like a monthly payment setup I would try looking at the more expensive basses. There is nothing worse than buying a low end bass and not wanting to play it because you don't like it.
I bought a Fender American Standard Jazz Bass as my first a couple months ago and I can't put it down. Even though I'm paying it off for a year, it was worth it. No interest either.
>>60278942

I'd take the one that doesn't have duct tape on the front of it.
>>60279171
<3
>>60279202
i think you might be surprised, lugging around a 4x12 is a pain. If youre not playing shows too often a 2x12 is more reasonable to sit in a room. If you get out and do a show that doesnt have a PA system, and you REALLY need more volume, you can always buy a second one or get/make a device that angles your cab upwards.
All that being said, youre playing through a tiny terror in the end and will likely rely on a PA system micing up your cab to get your volume to suitable levels, a 412 cab wont help atall in that situation, but dont get me wrong, 412s do look pretty cool.
And im pretty sure the older the marshall cab the more desirable it will be, as long as it works corrrectly.
>>60279317
>>60279202
Also, just want to point out that one of the advantages of the terror is that you can carry it around really fucking easily. It's like a lunch box. I've even got a back with a shoulder strap.
As long as theres a cab at the venue, you can always use that instead of lugging a cab about. I've turned up to a lot of gigs with a guitar in one hand and my terror in the other.
>>60279370
that's pretty cool
I was wondering how it'll handle cleaner tones for blackgaze though, since it's single channel would I just have to set it for clean and use my pedals?
>>60279415
Turn down the volume knob on your guitar.

I had a friend who was the rockband champion of the uk 3 years in a row. He could play every song 100 on expert on every instrument.
He was so excited by rock smith and the chance to learn real guitar. He found it too hard and quit after like a week to go back to rock band.

If only he'd spent those thousands of hours spent trying to get expert on playing the real thing.

>>60279528
Eh, I don't have much of a hard time with learning it...
Cos I don't ya know
The tutorials they gave seem good enough to learn from, perhaps not as helpful in the improvisation and musical theory parts but do help a lot in the technical side.
>>60279144

2016 LP studio Faded Series T. It's a USA-Made LP that retails for $800
For used stuff, look at LP Studios, Classics and the occasional late 70s/early 80s model like The Paul.
>>60280140
Not him and I've never even played this game but it looks pretty cool. I think it would give a total beginner a very good jumping off point to start learning for real. Not that it should be taken seriously as an instructional tool.
>>60275432
Is this an actual Ibanez model?
>>60280140
Its Guitar Hero with a real guitar.
>>60280140
not him >>60279491 but I also have rocksmith and a few DLC songs. It's great if you know the songs already but a bit of a pain in the ass if you dont really know it. I feel its faster to learn the song with ye ole tabature first then come back and polish up with it on the game.
Don't get me wrong its fun as fuck playing songs though.

Sorry for taking so long to answer. They're 2 DVDs so it's probably going to clock at 7 gigs or something. The files are all in that raw dvd type thing, I haven't tested them yet, I think I'll have to download a DVD emulator or whatever it is.
Anyway It'll not be done until at least tomorrow evening, since I only have half the parts. The download cooldown is 3 hours so a friend downloaded the other half and still has to pass them to me.
>>60280201
I love SG's but if you have red one, people assume you're Angus Young wannabe
>>60276570
My main dirt sound is a Big Muff with the sustain turned almost completely off, volume and tone on 11 o clock.
The key to usable Muff sounds is volume and backing off the sustain. You can't expect these to sound good at practice amp levels.
>>60280938
if youre playing squire, dont jump to the conclusion that it's your amp. chances are it's your squier. squiers are shit tier.
>>60281142
You have no idea what you're talking about. There are plenty of pros who tour and gig Squier guitars. No one gigs or records with a $50 amp. Try again next time.
>>60281199

>>60281308
I just said Troy Van Leeuwen. Also Nick Reinhart from Tera Melos. Anything from the Standard series and up are great tour guitars for Fender players because they're cheap, easily replaceable, and sound like Fenders.

Better than my first but you will grow out of it quickly, especially the amp if you want to jam.

It's all good man. I appreciate you're consideration for my religion. Helps prevent me from getting really mad and incessantly shit posting and it also REALLY helps soothe the voice in my head. Thanks a lot br°ther
So I have a epiphone SG i got like six years ago and I've gotten to the point where I don't like my tone at all. The low strings either sound super bassey or dull, as if I was lightly muting them, and the high strings sound either brittle/screechy or super quiet. I play jazz, blues, and rock mostly. Can you guys help me out on how to get a warmer tone, with more sustain?
>>60281451
to clarify i'm talking about the thickness
>>60280882
Interesting. It's cool he's come up with his own shape as opposed to going the standard RG route. Good on him.

Adjust your pickups until neither the high or low strings sound either screechy or boomy, then level out the pickups so that the high and low strings are balanced volume-wise in each pickup. Finally, adjust your pickup heights from there so that your neck and bridge pickups are about the same volume. You might find that your pickups' sweet spots are a good bit lower than you had them previously.

If you're after an Orange cab without paying Orange prices, look at Avatar. Their 2x12s (and, presumably the rest of their line) are practically the same specs as Orange and up to half the price of a PPC. And you can still get the speakers you want if you configure it new (or get lucky if you find one used).
Got a used Avatar 2x12 for $240 on Craigslist not too long ago. Another $50 for a steal on a Vintage 30 and I've got the cab I want for under $300 whereas an Orange PPC212 used (using eBay for pricing) seems to be in the $500-900 range, depending, though that would probably have 2 Vintage 30s.
>Not my cab; some rand-o pic I found on Google.

Try a less scooped muff like a Anarchy Audio Vagiant. I used to really dislike muffs too, but once you dial the mid scoop out they really sing.

>>60279060

Stick to a 1960AV or 1960BV in that combination. A 1960A or 1960B will sound too harsh.

Friend of mine has an old late 80s NJ Stealth. Used to be belong to the guitarist from diSEMBOWELMENT.
>>60281568
>>60281601
also in the 80s Iron Maiden toured with Squiers.
Just got two new guitars. One is a brand new Fender Jaguar, it's fucking perfect.
The other is a cheap little Dinky Jackson for 200, I think it's a JS22. Got it for playing heavier stuff but the pickups are pure shit, gonna replace them. Any suggestions for what kinda pickups would work with it? Never replaced pickups before.
>>60282077
Depends on what you want to play. For a guitar that cheap I'd just grab a used Duncan Distortion or DiMarzio X2N.
>>60281878

I started playing bass for 9 months now and even though I'm not nearly close to being good at it I'm able to play through some basic bass lines through songs (Pixies, etc.)
Anyway, one day at work I had quite a bit of free time to fill but since carrying an heavy bass and amp would be retarded I asked my GF for her classic guitar.
Long story short I started messing with a few chords and I'm having fun now so I'm considering eventually getting a proper acoustic.
Should I? I am already stretched with time between work, sports and GF and don't even have a lot of time to practice the bass so if I pick one up I'm not sure what I would do.
But it's sounds so cooool...
>>60282254
Sure, why not?
>>60281199
yeah people tour and gig with squiers. doesnt make them sound any less like shit.
post cool straps plz.

Anyone have monster cables? Or other high quality cables? I've been reading that cheap cables compress the sound. Don't know what I should buy.
>>60282810
Long story short, as long as you aren't buying 15 cent BESTCABLEEBAYSPECIAL you'll be fine for most applications.
>>60282637
Nope, keep practicing
>>60282810
I have a monster cable, it's the only cable I've ever had that's lasted this long. I've had it for 6-7 years or something like that.
I don't think a cheap cable is going to alter your sound that much but cheap cables will shit out on you after a few months and cease to work.
>>60282912
Just terminate your own. Ones I've made myself cost pennies and have outlasted all my other leads.
Only exception really is a couple DiMarzio leads I have.
>>60282637
No, but you are closer to getting into a real, free-time-sucking job that will keep you from practicing enough to get really good.
Not that you can't still get good enough to make yourself and friends happy.

I play Prog, Indie, and Alt Rock and I'm thinking of getting a Jazzmaster. Would this be a good choice? If yes, what model should I go for?

im using the same cable that came with my 300 dollar guitar/amp combo i bought at guitar center eight years ago. I actually bought a new cable like four years ago but it shitted out recently so I went and used this one again. Would it be worth it getting a new one?

Neck fits me better than Ibanez's Wizard neck. This one is asymmetric. Would prefer a flatter radius than 12" though. Build quality is excellent except for the bridge and tailpiece which feel cheap (they are still very solid). And it comes with Duncans. Overall ridiculously good value for money for under 800€.
>>60284069
Bridge and tailpiece are made in Korea. The guitar itself is made in Japan.

Yep. Glorious Nippon wood. Layered five times from maple and walnut and cut into shape with a katana.
I hope that RG or similar stays in production for a few years. It's so pretty. :_;
>>60284374
I know right. Ibanez seems to never stick to one thing for long. That's why I went ahead and bought mine.
>>60284560
Maybe I'll wait for the next model with piezo. My current guitars already cover a lot of ground.

Trick question, SGBro
Your wife doesn't let you play anything.
>>60286179
I'm not even married.
>>60286313
You finally divorced her?
I'm so proud of you.
>>60286338
>>60286179
It is not sgkek.
SGBro's SG is black, doesn't have a LP, and has a smelly peavey ultra.
>>60286338
I've never even been married.
>>60286456
thanks for that.
Fuck you guys and all these SG related posts. I've been fiending so hard for an SG lately and Gibson's latest year model's don't have that mini tune garbage on it. Last couple of times I've visited my favorite local shop I've played the shit out of a black one and fell in love with it. It sounded and played fantastic and I couldn't put it down. I've been desperately trying to figure out how to come up with the money to buy one.
>>60286815
Never liked SGs. Not into the neck dive or front jack.
hey anons, I ended up getting the peavey vypyr VIP 1 instead of a mustang 1. its a lot of fun, even for a noobish derp like myself. I'm still learning though. please forgive the potato image quality.
>>60274725
This can be said about everything. I wish we didn't live in a society where you can live your life being utterly frictionless pieces of society. "I just never want to put effort into anything and continue living" is a legitimate life path.
>>60286889
You know I never really liked them all that much either. I thought they looked pretty cool but that was about it. The front jack bothers me too but from what I experienced holding one in the shop, they are surprisingly well balanced. I tried playing it for shits and giggles to be honest. That was until I plugged it in with some gain... and holy shit did I love the tone it created. I was sold right in that sound booth.
>>60287086
Always preferred Les Pauls or Explorers personally.
>>60284995
Krautrock?
>>60287101
Yeah same. I absolutely loved the explorer I used to have. I grew pretty tired with the LP though. It was just so heavy and I found it awkward to play sitting down. Something about the SG just kind of clicked for me. I don't know what it was about it. I'm more of a fender guy too so that made it even more out of character. My main guitar that I've had for a while now is my heavily modded 80's 52' AVRI tele.
>>60287101
Not that anon, but I personally find LPs too damn thick to be comfortable.
I would like a guitar with the thickness of an SG, but the shape of a LP.
>>60287106
eehhh...I guess. Here are two hints: the Les Paul is in E standard and the SG is in C standard.
I've been trying to build up some extra cash for a pedalboard and decent amp but I had to pay for car repairs and lost a lot of it. Now that I only have like 200 bucks on hand that I can devote to this does it make sense to just buy an audio interface for now and use digital effects since I'm going to need one to record the amp either way?
>>60287149
How about a Gibson L6S?
Been interested in learning how to play jazz guitar, anyone know what bands I should listen to, that features the guitar prominently?
So I just got my first ever guitar (Les Paul Special II) and now I want to pick up an interface. What's a good and relatively inexpensive interface I can get started with?
>>60287149
I would recommend checking out ESP/LTD. They make some pretty solid Les Paul copies that are thinner and have a chest cutaway like a strat.
Hey /gg/, does classical guitar music usually have position markings or am I supposed to figure out the proper positions myself once I stop being a noob?
>>60287549
grab the focusrite 2i2. its pretty good and relatively inexpensive. id recommend this over something cheaper.
>>60287643
Some cheaper models have dots on the side of neck, but most higher end ones don't. That's just something you have to get used to.
I'm pretty broke and completely new to this, but I want to pick up an acoustic guitar. What do you guys recommend?
>>60287731
i think hes referring to sheet music bro, and i have no idea.
>>60287504
http://www.justinguitar.com/en/JA-101-JazzListening.php
>>60287767
Well in that case, it just depends on the transcriptions. I have this Heitor Villa-Lobos book that has all of the position markings, but sometimes, I'm given music that doesn't have them.
>>60277294
it's such bullshit that you have to tune up a little or down a little based on how the song sounds.
btw guitar veteran here. just bought the game for kicks mostly & the practice session to play along with a virtual band
>>60287742
a huge fucking horn plugged into a public address system to the frequency of a pace maker
>>60286891
I'm sorry for that guitar you have anon. I have one too, I hated it.
>>60287742
A Yamaha F310.
Granted this is my first and only acoustic so idk how good it is for gigging but it is great for house playing and stuff.
>>60287504
Wes Montgomery, George Benson and Joe Pass are the names I usually hear for traditional Jazz guitar.
>>60287101
What do you think of Firebirds?
>>60279491
don't care for the playback lag
i can here my guitar strings before i here it coming from the game & that bothers me.
>>60287716
thanks anon, how much should I pay for one?
Are there any other alternatives you know of? Just to be sure
>>60287499
It looks like a fatter Les Paul, even if it is thinner.
>>60287619
Yeah. I wish they would make the Eclipse I model with the 4 knobs instead of the Eclipse II/MA with just 3. But beggars can't be choosers.
>>60287924
The body is actually much smaller. The scale makes it look fatter. Look up the specs.
>>60287149
I find mine comfortable because of the thickness. Get an ESP Eclipse Standard if you want that by the way.
>>60287891
Not really a fan. RDs are comfortable though.
Posting my clip again since I got no feedback.

>>60288040
RDs are really underrated guitars.
The guitars are mixed way too high in this. Are you playing to a track?
>>60274102
Those particular models have a bit of a QOTSA vibe to them, if you're into that.
>>60287973
Called it fat due to its wider "waist".
I guess the 24 frets also makes it weird as a whole.
What's the "proper" pedal chain order for shoegaze-type stuff? I'm assuming it's something along the lines of tuner > volume > od > distortion > fuzz > chorus > delay > reverb?
>>60288151
The Norlin Gibson guitars were strange guitars, but they were awesome. My friend has a Marauder and it sounds great (same boy, different headstock and pickups).

>The guitars are mixed way too high in this
It's not a mix, just me playing over the original song. That's why I put myself so high in the mix.
Just did one take after looking at the TAB a few times, no dual tracking or any real effort to make it sound good. Plan to do it properly at some stage.
