Bruce B is super underrated
I wonder if he'd been more acclaimed if he didn't get his break playing second fiddle to motherfucking Pablo Gilberto.
Can't wait guys, soon it will be here - and by soon I mean probably after christmas
Anyone else get themselves a nice christmas present? Any new gear you guys are awaiting?

best (cheapish) wah pedal?
>>61118398
GCB 95
used Wahs are easy and cheap to find for around 40 bucks usually on CL
How does the ac15 take pedals? I just got one and i'm kinda worried because everyone else is creaming about fender tube amps and their tone. I compared them and the vox won out for me but it's not as versatile as a fender amp?
>>61118573
VOXs do EXTREMELY well with pedals. Fender doesn't even come close.
>>61118936
I'm worried about the lack of an effects loop. Is this going to be an issue? What sounds am i limited to? Would a multieffects pedal cut through those limitations?
>>61119000
effects loops are only needed if you're using amp dirt IMO. i much prefer running everything out front.
I loved my ac15 but I had to get rid of it once my band started playing bigger gigs. it's a beautiful sound but it can't really hang with a full band outdoors and stay clean. it gets dirty pretty quickly.
>>61119145
I'm into math so i'll be going clean most of the time but i also like having the versatility
>>61119240
desu ac15 isn't the best amp for cleans unless you're playing at relatively low volumes
>>61119000
I never saw point in effects loop (or massive amounts of effects in general). OD, delay and wah do everything for me.
>>61119357
They work better for volume based effects or if you want the effect to have its impact after the gain has been applied in amp. I put my trem there and I like that more than having it in front because then it's affecting the actual volume of the amp, not the gain from the guitar.
>>61119357
you sound boring
>>61119475
You don't really need pedals to be creative though
>>61119499
Of course not. Sometimes limiting choices can even make you more creative.
But generally a painter can express more with a fuller palette of colors. A chef can evoke more with a varied choice of ingredients.

What's a good guitar in the 200 euro range that would work for psychedelic type music?
>>61120638
Strat types are used in psychedelic, but try finding out what guitar was used on particular recordings you like, especially if you find an artist you like that uses the same guitar on a lot of different recordings, since you will want something versatile. Then get a knockoff off that guitar that isn't shit, check the good guitar forums for reviews.
>>61118302

Electro Harmonix Soul Food vs Tone City Bad Horse
I'm going for a relatively clean boosted blues sound, not super into gritty or dirty tones, more deep smooth big tones. John Frusciante, John Mayer, Hendrix, Page, SRV, Gilmour, etc.

>>61122063
I got entry level made in china fender dreadnought from someone who bought it and then never learned to play, sold it to me cheap.
It's actually pretty decent for the money. fantastic beginner instrument. I just keep it laying around the couch for light playing.
Looking for an LTS Lemon Drop/ZII, but he's all sold out, and the used market has them going for 2x their normal price. Anybody want to sell me theirs?
On a related note, does anybody know of any unique vintage-ish overdrives like the ZII that aren't just Tube Screamer, Klon, OCD, or Plexi-in-a-box clones?

>>61123076
Yeah, the neck is definitely smaller than a regular guitar. When I first found it I wondered why it felt to so weird.
It's very loud compared to most acoustics I've heard, but there's a little rattle sound when I play most of the strings.
Are Strymons worth the fucking price?

>>61125366
It sounds amazing, the buld quality is top notch and it has massive amounts of gain. I actually use it as an overdrive pedal with added warble. The bias control for the wave is great, I wouldn't play a tremolo without it anymore.

First learn the minor pentatonic scales, then learn the major scales, then learn any additional weird scales that you like. YouTube has your back m8. Learning the minor pentatonics at a bare minimum is absolutely necessary, it's the easiest way to start getting an idea of which notes work together and learning how to play in key.
is the Fender Champion 100 a decent amp or is there anything better in its price range? I'm talking about the 2x12 one with effects if you're confused
>>61125567
Thanks family
Has anyone ever made a pickup with multiple selectable windings? Basically letting you have a vintage jangle tone or a full, hot tone? Pic related is how I imagine this would work. Anyone hear of something like this? Ideally you would have some way to gradually strip windings out of the signal, but I don't think that would be possible.
>>61126043
I think I remember watching some vid about a vintage superstrat that had something like that on it. I think they wound the pickup to a "vintage" winding, wired it out to a solder point on the case of the pickup then wound some more on and made another solder point. Then they added a switch on the front of the guitar to switch between the "vintage" and hot sound.

What.
>>61127174
what's wrong with it exactly
>>61127029
No moving pieces enhances the tone
why do you think violins don't have adjustable saddles?
>>61127186
Basically unless your neck is kept perfectly straight and you always use the same strings as the ones which that LP was built for, your intonation is going to be wrong.
Not to mention a bridge with adjustable saddles is a cheap thing to make.
>>61127254
Not to mention eventually you will get your frets dressed, throwing intonation out. To be honest I've never heard of a bridge like that even being perfectly intonated in the first place, I wouldn't assume it's properly intonated in this case either. The G string at least is probably out.
>tfw no stauffer copy
>>61127419
I gotta say, fretboard coming over the sound hole annoys me, especially when there's no cutaway.
>>61127254
perfect intonation is literally impossible
>>61127453
Let me put it this way. The intonation with a 6 saddle bridge is good enough that nobody can tell. The intonation with a single piece bridge is obviously out somewhere on the neck. With a 6 saddle the player will sound in tune, with a single piece bridge the player will sound out of tune. Now, you may define perfect as better than what we can measure with modern technology. You would be correct to do so, but we would be using different meanings of the word, "perfect."
>>61125352
As a fan of acoustics, pre Reagan trucks and camping this pic made me jizz.
>>61127453
No it isn't.
>>61127453
I'm pretty sure it is possible, but the amount of work to do so is just so huge it's not worth it.
That being said you're getting pretty close with fanned frets + true temperament.
>>61127446
does this set your autism on fire?
>>61127556
sounding in tune is lame
>>61127756
What, the poor neck joint? I dunno mang, it's not my guitar.
>>61127189
The bridge on violins is movable and is only held on by tension.
>>61127756
>that neck curve
why
>>61127630
>>61127641
wouldn't you need perfect fretting and picking technique too?
wouldn't you still be off by millionths of a hertz?
As you can see in pic related, normal intonation is not a straight line, but rather two different lines. Even with a properly intonated single piece bridge however, you will still not be able to change string gauge, or file your frets without being forced to change bridge height, which may not be desirable.
I'm trying to learn guitar with a heavy emphasis on music theory. Is it normal to feel like I'm learning a foreign language and then translate into another foreign language?
>>61127902
That's not an excuse for a shitty bridge on a 200$+ guitar anyways, even the lowest squiers have adjustable saddles.
>>61127902
Nobody cares about millionths of a hertz, because it is impossible for the human ear to detect. Music is only relevant to listeners. Ergo, perfect intonation.
>>61127934
Yes. Just git gud and enjoy it.

Oh yeah just let me put on some strings with a wound G on a guitar with a bridge like that one and sound absolutely wrong every time I hit that wound G.
So I've wanted to make a guitar for fun for a while, but I wanted to make it out of something unique since no matter what it's not like I'm going to be getting the kind of material that would make the tone fantastic or anything like that
Then I came across this street sign, which I feel would be a pretty interesting material to work with (fiberglass) and it looks really neat as far as the graffiti on it
do ya'll think that street signs compressed together with resin and then carved out would make a good electric body? I think it'd have an interesting sound.

not saying I'm one of those people, but perfect intonation isn't the only thing that matters, and sometimes it can be desirable that it's off. And then there's tone.
>And though there are bridges in that style molded to compensate, that guitar's bridge is not.
I wouldn't be so sure mang, some compensated bridges are hard to tell from non-compensated ones.

Only above a certain quality point. Shit guitars will sound like shit guitars regardless of how good your amp is, but there won't be that much difference between a one grand and a 4 grand guitar.
>>61128630
depends on what music you play TbH, it's not the same to play with shitloads of distortion that to play almost a dry guitar

>>61128571
>And then there's tone
I'm pretty sure that as long at the wraparound is made of the same metal as a tune-o-matic, the tone will be identical. You could make an argument about the break angle, the wraparound looks like the strings might have some play or something, but there's definitely other bridged that can adjust that would accomplish the same thing.
>hard to tell
With the strings on, you can tell from the reflections where the strings are hitting the bridge.
The wraparound is just a nostalgia play.
>>61128856
I have one of these. Great guitar, i left it in a case in a garage for 3 months when I was away in New York, came back and it was in perfect tune except for the B string which was a little flat.
People who dis floyd's have no idea what they're talking about. I have another guitar with a Bigsby and it pisses me off so much I want to sell it.
>>61128950
that one looks... alright i guess. i don't like double cutaways on any guitar, they just look dumb to me
on a lot of prs guitars they contour the ever loving fuck out of the body, i really don't like the look of heavily contoured guitars
>>61128965
Floyds are fine as long as you have a good one. Wouldn't touch any floyd other than an original.

Well, mine was made in Korea. That's one step above being made in China.
Regardless, I don't buy that "original" or "quality" crap. It's all nonsense made up by elitist boomers and that's that. People with disposable incomes don't want to be told their shitty $3000 Les Paul is shit and that an Epiphone can be brought to the same quality with a few mods.

>>61128963
Same metal, different contact surface. It will likely sound different. And then there's the feel when playing and how it reacts to palm muting.
I'd rather have a tune-o-matic than a wraparound but I won't deny there might be advantages to the wraparound (which don't outweigh the disadvantages in my opinion though).
I tried to find some famous guitarists that used LP Juniors but the least meme tier ones were John Lennon and Billy Joe Armstrong kek

But that's not true anon. In fact I have a friend who used to say that. He know has a Gibson Standard Faded LP and says it blows his modded Epiphone LP Custom out of the water.
As for Floyds, it's an issue of metallurgy. FRs operate on a knife edge. Cheap floyds use cheap alloys and the edge goes dull quickly, thus not keeping the guitar in tune.
You don't have to use an original floyd to have good quality, in fact some Schallers are even better than some OFRs. And there's Gotoh too.
>>61129094
go to a music shop that has some and try them for yourself and compare to other guitars
>>61129224
there's nothing fedora about those anon, try Killer guitars for example. It has to be obscure to be fedora tier.
Teles are one of the most popular models out there although I don't personally like them. I love jags and jazzmasters but that's because I love surf rock.
Archtops are way more fedora as fedoras tend to like jazz.

throwing a CAI on your guitar and relocating a battery isn't sik mawdz faggot
guys I have a cheap guitar and I have troubles not muting strings when I play chords. I do have big fingers but I don't think their unreasonably big. Is the width of free space between the strings pretty standard or do better guitars give more room?
Do I just need to git gud?

need some advice on laying out our bands gigging setup. our rhythm guitarist just shit the bed and quit and now our singer will be playing guitar and singing. which one do you think would be best for live gigs?

Nothing here is really fedora, although offsets are for indie memesters
>>61129484
also a bonus set up, i'm the bassist and i use two 410 cabinets so i can split up my rig to make the sound more balance.
>>61129491
Yeah. Women don't know shit about anything that could break their nails or get them dirty. Faggots are the same. If you don't change your own oil you're a fucking sissy failure.
>>61129484
D but you should be micing to a PA anyway
>>61128963
wraparound is mostly a meme, i've tried it
the same thing can be achieved by raising the tailpiece. it basically just makes the strings feel SLIGHTLY slinkier, barely noticeable. everything else related to the tonal qualities of wraping strings around the tail piece is complete and utter bullshit.
the whole point of having a tailpiece is to raise it according to how low/high your bridge is and to set it up so the string break angle isn't digging into the saddles and the back end of the bridge. all that will do is eat away the bridge saddles.
>>61129484
I think you're overthinking it, unless there's no PA and monitors in your gig.
>>61129492

>>61129528
I'm not talking about wrapping around the tailpiece, I'm talking about wraparound bridges, with no saddles. I agree with you that there should be no tonal difference between wrapping around the tailpiece and not doing it, because the relevant string vibration happens between the nut or the pressed fret and the bridge.
>>61129542
the shows we play arent usually known for micing cabinets.

So when it comes to making your own guitar
What should I do when it comes to the neck?
I don't want to buy a premade one (I'm trying to build everything myself but the machines and the saddle) but I'm also not sure how I'd even start to build a truss rod.

He is right in general but I think that the tenon thing is pretty much snake oil and he fell for it. There's not a lot of vibrations traveling though the wood, and it doesn't really matter what those vibrations do, the only relevant thing is to not absorb the strings' vibrations

If you're not being mic'd and not going through stage monitors, you should probably go with B so the vocalist can have his cab behind him to hear his playing more clearly. The directionality of guitar cabinets becomes way more apparent when you're playing on stage and walk out of line of your cab

>>61129929
He's saying that the strings are dampened differently by the tension, not that where those vibrations go matters.
>>61129991
i'm also really concerned with our cables getting tangled, because we're all pretty mobile during sets. especially me (pic related)
>>61130065
yeah but even if you put a block of rubber between the neck and the body it won't have a big impact
>>61129484
i need to ask but i already know you aren't going to have them - are you guys using monitors?
i've gigged around for a few years in bars and stuff. i'm going to tell you right now you're going to have volume problems, no matter which of those setups you use.
are you going to have any friends in the audience? if so tell him to give you feedback on who needs to turn down/who needs to turn up right after you finish your first song. tell him to text it to you or something so he doesn't have to walk up to you
use C, that's your best bet

Anyone have tips for modeling a good mathrock tone using Guitar Rig? I'm too poor to afford a decent amp and this is my alternative. Twin Reverb?
>>61130145
do you and the rhythm guitarist have pedal boards or are you going right into the amp?
if you have pedal boards just tape down the cables to the floor so you don't trip over them and accidentally yank them out when you run around or whatever
>>61130201
Well that would kill some sustain. The reason is because you are adding play between the nut and the bridge. It's not a through neck, so that rubber is gonna make a difference, assuming that it's between the back of the neck and the body in a bolt on. if it's not interfering with the bolts then it would have no impact as you say.
>>61129331
He could have also just been trash talking out of he wanted a Gibson and couldn't afford it, but then finally could and changed his tune. And it really depends, because the components used make a huge difference. Especially wiring and pickups. A stock Gibson will 9 times out 10 make a stock Epi sound like a toy. Put 300-400 in it in hardware, pickups, and electronics, and you'll end up with something rivaling the good stock Gibsons and blowing away the stinkers.
>>61130558
Another difference is plek fretwork i think tbqh
>>61130490
Yes, I'm talking about having it between neck and body. Unless it's not tightly adjusted the loss of sustain wouldn't be noticeable. You'd have to use extremely soft and thick rubber to see an effect. I don't think a 5mm block for example would be noticeable.
>>61130558
He had thrown EMGs into it and I don't know what else. And it's a Custom so it likely has good hardware.

lel no, Epis are just overpriced as fuck here.
"EPIPHONE 1962 LP CUSTOM PRO EBONY" retails at 1,050 USD here.
This guy's guitar was a 2006 Epiphone Les Paul Custom with EMGs and a hardshell case.
>>61131055
>Can't you literally pay a local builder to make one for that price?
I'm not sure about that but I think you'll probably fall nearer the 2K range with no resale value, and there aren't a lot of reputable builders. There is a team that makes GREAT stuff but I don't know how long it takes.

You'd be surprised how dry a lot of high gain tones are. Generally there's a lot less gain than you think. Combined with front-end boosting and it'll exaggerate fuck ups if anything.

yeah but some distortions will completely mask the tone of a guitar. With enough distortion, a strat can become hard to tell from a Les Paul.

Also guys have a question for those familiar with luthier techniques, im building my own guitar and want to know how I check the break angle is correct when installing the bridge piece.
>>61131674
what kind of bridge?
>>61129224
this desu
I'd rather have this hung up as a decorative piece than ever attempt to play it. Much like a fododo
>>61129229
You'll have to forgive me as Ive never played a tele and am unsure how the neck joint works but provided its the same as the stratocaster than what I would do is this.
Unscrew the neck, take it off and go ham on the neck with some sandpaper, start with lower grit so around 100, then move up to wet and dry paper with a couple thousand grit to give it a really nice finish. Provided you dont touch the bottom end of the neck where it meets the guitar you shouldnt have any trouble re-attaching it. I took off the neck off a friends strat and sanded the ever loving fuck out of it and it worked.
>>61129283
Cute guitar
>>61129751
Crimson guitars is fantastic, if money wasn't an issue I would buy every tool they have to offer in support of them.
>>61130909
Play both guitars before judging which is better. remember; a guitars real worth is down to personal preference.
>>61131733
its the bridge off of an old jackson, so I have the saddle and the strings would go through the body, if that helps. My friend and I were thinking of using Tele style bridges but I think a through body would sound better.

>>61131930
>are chapman's guitars any good?

>he seems like the guy that would make shit guitars to market them to idiots
Kek, I agree with that. He surely hypes them as if they were the best in the world.
>>61131802
Is that a burl?
>>61131954
>but theyre built in the same place as PRS SEs
well, that's not really very significant as there are factories that produce both godly and shit guitars depending on the requirements of the one that orders them
>>61131802
I would install the bridge where you want it, and then drill out the body for the string through afterwards. There's a lot of wiggle room when it comes to break angle behind the bridge. The trouble with the break angle is that it may depend on string gauge. The break angle is responsible for tension on the saddles. In general more is better, until you run into string breakage. There's no correct angle as long as it's not too steep to cause breakage, since some players prefer the tone of, for example, a trapeze tailpiece. The break angle depends on the height of your bridge, so try to estimate what that will end up as. Sorry this explanation sucks I'm watching a movie. Feel free to ask questions.
>>61131975
no idea, sorry mate
>>61131990
Fair enough, but considering these were the older model SEs costing a fair bit less then reason would dictate the chapmans would be of similiar or better quality.
>>61132167
Okay, so after setting the neck in place (its a bolt on design, we need it for the body we're using) is there a maximum or even a minimum distance the saddle should sit?
sorry if my questions are a bit stupid I'm just making sure I don't fuck this up.
>>61132285
So, is the neck pocket angled back? the bridge is tuneomatic, right? pictures would be helpful.
>>61131975
Looks like buckeye burl.
