lel, did you fall for my filename?
>>61165003
Rockabilly is fucking based, and the Stray Cats are one of the most based bands in the genre
>>61165152
guess so, i have no idea who that fucker is
>>61165179
Frontman for the Stray Cats. I used that name because of how much the pic reminded me of this one so I thought I could meme some people and have a laff.
>>61165179
Brian Setzer. He is a skilled guitarist who helped repopularize the rockabilly genre in the 1980s.
>>61165235
oh, i guess i do know who that is then. cool. i enjoy that band.
>>61164949
/mu/ I bought my first guitar and I'm planning on learning it on the internet. Should I be ashamed of plating a meme instrument?
Hey guys, I have a $15 budget. What amp should I get that can play over a full orchestra? Budget can maybe stretch to $20 if it's really worth it.
>>61165260
no
embrace it
let it consume you
let it change you at your core
it will rock the foundation that you set so many values on, and it will all come crumbling down
you will be a memer
you will love it
you will hate it
but you will need it
>>61165280
T-thank you anon :'-)
>>61165267
Give your mate 20 to be the getaway driver after you steal an amp from whatever band is playing near you.
>>61165267
i laughed
>>61165260
you should've got a steel string, classicals are fun but very wide neck, i guess it's good to start out on. see if you like it or not you know.
>>61165235
HOW DO I PLAY MUSIC LIKE THIS
From the last thread, anyone else got suggestions on what pedal to get next?
>>61165481
How much have you spent on that pedal rig so far?
>>61165503
A lot. Probably around $4000.
What are some go to jazz compositions that have those licks that sound so wrong yet so right? Like, the essentials. Of all jazz standards I can literally only play autumn leaves but looking to change that.
>>61165481
I like the Earthquaker arrows pedal. It's just a boost with a somewhat unique tone to it. I don't own it though, only messed around at a local shop with it
>>61165523
whiplash XD
>>61165235
cut those fucking string ends for god sake
>>61165586
Thanks mate hows smoke on the water going?
>>61165689
I don't have any overdrives actually. I've tried a few, they're not really my thing.
Forgot to mention that the $15 dollars needs to include a guitar as well. Also, the budget can't stretch because the Guitar Center gift card my mom bought me for Christmas is all I have.
>>61165331
Hmm, don't have any friends. I found a used Squier starter back on eBay though, will that be loud enough?
>>61165250
>i enjoy that band.
there would be something wrong with you if you didn't :^)
>>61165399
It's something I have yet to learn anon (I picked guitar one month ago, although I've been a bassist for years), but it's very bass-heavy. Throw a walking bass bassline there and getting closer will be much easier. Think of the classic "Tom and Jerry bass"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-sLX5UZaxk

>>61165713
So, you just use your amp's gain for distortion?
>>61165820
It's much better now tho :^)
>>61165868
thanks based anon, you know your shit
>>61165795
FUCKING TAKE IT BACK TO THE STORE
Add To Cart or not Add To Cart? I love the simple preamp controls on this. It has better reviews than its equivalent Ampeg, Ibanez, Behringer contemporaries. I'm intruiged. What does /gg/ think?
>inb4 save up for something bigger/better
I have my reasons.
>>61165907
Amp gain and the boost from the FB-2, yes.
>>61165260
>>61165280
You'll also start hearing music differently. Not saying you'll only appreciate "guitar music" from now on, but it definetly has an effect
>>61165956
I can't, I bought it used from a private seller. Besides, I greatly enjoy it :^)
You'd probably be surprised if you saw its body, it's not the guitar you'd think it is from looking at the headstock.
>>61165399
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3wdvE-rg9o
To further elaborate on my "walking bass is the base of it" statement. Once you get bass right, you already have the rockabilly sound. Just slap a rock and roll guitar over it and you're done.
>>61166152
proof that 6+ strings basses and bass tapping are the height of faggotry and for cucks who refuse to fill their role. That's how a real bassist gets attention, by playing actual cool noticeable basslines.
Rock n roll bae
>>61166152
but how do i play bass and guitar at the same time
>>61166241
You have two arms don't you?
>>61166228
honestly if you want to tap you should buy a meme instrument designed for it

nope, I knew you'd think of an Explorer though. I fell in love with this guitar the moment I saw it on MercadoLibre (basically the South American eBay)

Epiphone S-310
It's me again, I've had the Squier for like tree months now and I love it even more than I did at first. Anon told me I'd be bored of it in a month. I really don't think I'll ever be relacing it. Might get a baritone of some sort someday though because they're gawgeous, but I'll never get rid of the Squier.
>>61166364
>implying it will sound as good as a bass
nice meme
>>61166339
lel
>>61165481
A tuner, make sure it mutes when active, place it at the end of the chain, leave it on
>>61166378
Great stuff m8. I didn't have much contact with Ren & Stimpy aside from a game I played in SNES9X.
That said, while it's great it doesn't sound as rockabilly as Tom and Jerry does.
>>61166394
Ah, I didn't know they did that model with a rosewood fingerboard, which is why I assumed it was the Explorer.
That headstock shouldn't look right on a Strat copy, but somehow it does!
i want to sell my 4h stingray musicman
how much should i ask for it?
>>61165481
My rig is all anyone needs friend. Simplify.
How big of an amp do I need to keep up with a drummer on clean tones?
>>61166419
Ibanez is the only major one I can think of.
>>61166599
Did your bass one break already?
>>61166494
Good bants.
>>61166494
But I have a tuner already famalam
>>61166599
Where's the fun in that?
>>61166565
Well, EVH was the first guy to do it when they made his Kramer trying to copy the lawsuit destroyer headstock without getting in trouble with Gibson. I actually prefer the maple version, but the one that was around for sale had badly worn frets and the sustain block was breaking apart so I had to pass.
>>61166599
>digitech
>>61166676
My bass what? The BDI21? Nope! In fact I just laid the bass track down for a demo I'm recording the other day and it sounded pretty noice just DI through that beastie. I still love the little fucker. I just treat it nice cuz I know the knobs will pop off it and it'll split in twain if I actualy step on it.

Pretty straight swing. No idea what defines rockabilly.

>top gal
>>61166719
I know but I'm not trying to wow anyone friend. I don't gig or anything, I just record/produce. I mostly use it for reverb with my Leslie. All the time-based effects are really good, and you can't argue with the classic DigiTech Whammy pedal effect. And besides, it could be worse m8 >>61166761

>>61165399
Oh, something else I forgot. For some variants of rockabilly you want to use tons of reverb.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCLGqTCm1EE
What the fuck is wrong with you people?
>>61167071
kek, is that a metal zone clone?
>>61166800
I like that, keeping the rockabilly theme
>>61167137
That makes me mad.
>>61167167
Yep. They somehow made a shittier version.
>>61167137
for a fucking se?

>>61167271
If it's worth so much why doesn't he just sell it and by whatever guitar he wants? :^)
>>61167071
I had one of those when I was a noob! 9 years ago, almost to the day, I got it and a rogue rg120. Gain cranked on both, mods scooped, lows and mids boosted. Seriously, you couldn't fuck with my tone. I had a plexiglass flying v with the shittiest pickups I ever had in a guitar. Fuck cutting through a mix, I cut straight through your ear drums so my shitty punk band was the last thing you'd ever hear.
Seriously though, I never owned a pedal before or afterwards that introduced so much noise when it was turned off. I don't know what was worse, I had that and and a multi effects(not a floor unit, a single pedal that had the same case but silver) from them that was God awful too. I got it for the octave effect, which sometimes turned on, but sometimes not. It would abruptly switch to a different effect and switch back of it's own free will.
>>61167405
Lows and highs boosted I mean
>>61167137
is dat marlborough, ma?
>>61167405
Damn son, I only wish I could have that tone.
>>61166761
>mfw when this is the only pedal i own
Any of you guys have experience refinishing a guitar. I intend to build one around the middle of next year(I used to work as a carpenter, my boss did the finishing though) and want to get some experience on 2 old junkers I have lying around. One I'm doing aniline dye on, the other I'm doing a solid color. I just don't know what kind of paint to get for the guitar, I'm going use lacquer as a top coat. I've got an hvlp gun.
>>61167470
Bro, you totally could. My rig was $300 with every thing new. You'll be able to buy everything used and cheap now, before they become collector items.
>>61167537
>One I'm doing aniline dye on
Thought it said anime for a second. I'm disappointed.
>>61167576
Stick around, I might get bored and use some stencils.
what songs do you guys play so that you don't make normies sad?
i generally only play my own stuff but it's sad as hell.
all i got is "here comes the sun" and "blackbird" and "i walk the line"
>>61167405
I bought a pedal from them that had a tube in it. Some sort of vintage overdrive.
Didn't know much about guitars back then and had a ok amp (some sort of fender stage solid state) which made my solid state sound like it was a trebly mess so i sold it. Tried one at a store last year on a Vox and baw god it sounded like sweet honey but the pedal was 130 bucks so i didn't get it
>>61167597
why are you advertising for planet fitness anyway?
>>61167598
I'm a real artist, nobody likes or understands my work
>>61167628
oh sorry no people usually get my music but it makes them really sad and i'm trying to make people happy
>>61167597
I like that archtop
>>61167598
Acoustic?
Holy Shit and I Went To the Store One Day - FJM
First Day of My Life - Bright Eyes
Romulus and Eugene - Sufjan (sadmode)
Interstate Love Song Acoustic - STP
Some Neil Young or Fleetwood Mac
That's it really
>>61167620
I've got one of those tube pedals from blackstar, pretty neat. I can get a really good ac/dc type sound, and a really cool chunky metal sound, but I don't really use either of those. It can work as a clean boost and it shimmers
>>61167626
You ever put a sticker on something? Were you advertising or did you just........put a sticker on something?
Someone recommend some intermediate to advanced fingerstyle acoustic songs? Preferably with vocals.
In terms of difficulty, I can play like Landslide, a lot of Sufjan, Classical Gas, etc. but can't play Neon by John Mayer, so somewhere in between that
>>61167393
I think it could maybe be a scam
>>61167678
Thanks buddy. Harmony Master H945 with a DeArmond model p41 pickup. Found it in a pile of junk it my aunt's basement.
>>61167537
>I used to work as a carpenter
nice, I love synthwave
I don't even really like Brian Setzers music (even though I like a lot of rockabilly) but have tons of respect for him. When he was 18, him and his band sold everything they owned, bought one way tickets to London and basically started a whole revival of the scene. He had more chops at 18 than 99% of 40 year old shredders
Hey guys, what's it like knowing that my $210 guitar plays and sounds strictly better than your $1,000+ Gibson/Fender? Pic related.

I saw some festival from the 80's on TV when i was young which seemed like a metal festival, and Stray Cats came out and play a 30 minute set and Brian only had one amp and like 2 guitars but got the whole place completely bonkers, i've never see anything like it

>>61167967
Mine plays fine
Why do people who don't make any money playing music feel the need to spend thousands of dollars on equipment when in today's day and age you can get fantastic guitars for under $300 and a solid practice amp head and cab for under $350 total?
Honest question.
>>61167965
that's a really assholic reply, with no insight whatsoever. the only effort you made was to be contrarian, not helpful at all. why don't you punch the wall a few times and jerk off to let some of your angst out and then come back and try again
>>61167839
He's gud but it's a different kind of synthwave. I like both and also other artists that aim for a more 80s sound like Freeweights and such. I genuinely think Synthwave is the best thing that has come out in the last years, I really enjoy it. Finding NewRetroWave and LuigiDonatello is the best thing that has happened to me musically speaking.
>>61167967
kek, your jelly is showing m8. CVs are really good but they are maybe on about the same tier as MIM Fenders.
>>61168015
The same reason people buy a brand new jaguar or mercedes when a kia does the exact same thing
>>61168015
It's a status thing "Oh i can buy a JCM and a Fender Twin and still have money for an American Strat that i will play in my living room"
Also to brag that they have them and say that there tone is the best
>>61168015
I like to show off. Honest reply.
>>61167876
the live at montreax used to be available on youtube but its blocked in the US now
pretty awesome, the place was nuts, the drummer had a snare and a hi hat, the bass player had big ol upright and setzer had his rig

Strictly superior to Mexican Fenders.
>>61168015
it's called compensation m8. They probably think spending shitloads will make the git gud. That said, I understand why some guys spend a lot on a guitar. What I don't get is the typical overloaded pedalboard.
The only pedal I have is a FF clone I made myself and biased for bass. I used to have a MOSFET booster to feed my bass to PA amp but it got stolen.
I'm looking to make a valve head for my guitar and a MXR phaser 90 clone though. Will probably get the stuff to do that for Christmas.
>>61168015
Because we can. Nothing wrong with wanting to sound better and have nicer instruments.
>>61168019

Whats this "we" shit
>>61167967
I really liked the CV tele I had, awesome guitar for 350
Probably as good as any <$1000 tele
but they don't make many 350 dollar guitars like that...
what if you want a LP style guitar? A 500 dollar epi isn't close to a decent gibson
You can probably find some jap ones around 800-1000 but thats a lot more...
the truss rod on my CV tele broke through the plug too..so they're definitely not built as solid as a US tele.
>>61168144
>.... I actually agree completely. You heard Trevor Something's latest album though? Death Dream was solid. Check out this too.
Haven't listened to the whole album yet but I searched it and it turns out I had listened to part of it. Listening right now. Seems to have some vaporwave influence towards the end though.
I love "Trevor something does not exist"
>>61168160
>Buys a $2,000 Klon pedal
Damn i didn't even know they made a pedal that expensive.
>>61168160
am I being meme'd?
Because I wasn't joking when I said I understand why someone would spend a lot on a guitar. For real, I own a cheap guitar and a cheap bass but I plan to get a high end MIJ guitar by 2017.

holy shit, "The Touch of Your Skin" blew my head
>>61168260
The klon guy didn't
Klons only got that expensive with hype from fanboi blues lawyers that browse TGP all day so they go bid up
he even had the 2nd version with some little apology on it about the stupid hype...I think he got sick of making them and stopped. There were like 500 clones of it by then.
There are some retarded pedals that are really expensive (unjustly) though
Pete Cornish had a delay pedal that was a slightly tweaked boss pedal (you even had to by the boss pedal and ship it to him) that he charged like 1000 bucks for...a crybaby wah that had some stupid bullshit done to it and he charged over 1500 for it. TGP dudes have shit like that because its 'well worth it'
I dunno...I think spending something like 4k on a really nice gretsch or something is something I'd do if I had the cash to blow.
Some stuff does seem more ridiculous than others...but different strokes, different folks...
>>61168339
You aren't speaking for anyone but yourself bud. I'm not coughing up a grand while i can get an amp with the same tone for 400-500 bucks.
Getting this fine lady for Christmas.
>>61168359
You're posts are making you come off as jealous.
>>61168378
Yeah, that's my favourite track on the album.
>>61168395
Depends what sound you're after. My main amplifier cost the equivalent of about $350 USD (used), but I'll buy an SLO100 one day.

>>61168389
>>61168414
Damn thats some crazy shit, i can't even imagine the gear i could get for 1500 let alone just buying a single pedal
lol
I had a klone. Weird pedal...dunno why people jizz so much over them. As a overdrive I thought it sounded horrible...100% midrange honk. But if you put the overdrive really low and cranked the volume it made stuff a lot more touch responsive. Cool but not that cool?
>>61168464
>Implying
>>61168476
Damn that's out of this world. I have a swollen pickle that i got for 40 that probably gets similar if not as good drive as that pedal

Nothing really suggests that. $2700 though? Sheesh.
>>61168530
Im enough of an old fag that I remember the original Klons being sold for like $250...that was mind boggling back in the mid/late 90s.
Kenny Wayne Shepard was the guitarist that all the blooz lawyers heard having a Klon and starting cumming buckets for them.

>>61168564
You know it's a piece of crap if you can get something better for 1/10 of it's price, familia
I've never played a Klon clone that sounded exactly like the Klon. Most of you are probably just too poor to even try a real one, they really are worth the money.
For me it's less of an overdrive and more of a "harmonic exciter" if you've got top notch gear it can only make those qualities better. It's like going from 128kbps mp3 to FLAC.
>>61168579
Lol god i can imagine, one guitarist plays a certain pedal and suddenly it's "if i can get this pedal that is a thousand dollars, i can shred like him"
It's like SRV playing a strat and people buying his 2,000 dollar custom thinking they can be as good as he was.
>>61168656
Can you get a trip so i can filter you?
>>61168308
kek
>>61168273
Hopefully I'll have saved enough money to go to Japan and buy myself a nice guitar
>inb4 why will you do the trip when you could get an American guitar for that kind of money
1) I won't buy anything over 1k without trying it
2) If I order it by mail I have to pay 60% in taxes, as my country has a fucked up state
3) I'll get to visit Japan. A friend of mine will be coming with me as she wants to visit Japan too.
4) Since my state is fucked up, I need to overpay even if I want an American guitar. A Fender American Standard (Strat or Tele) here costs 2100-2200 USD. The cheapest Gibson available is the SG Special at 1630. There's a shop charging 2500 for that one, I don't know if one of them hasn't updated their prices or what. A ticket to Miami costs about 800 or 900 USD, and applying for a tourist visa is 150 USD. I get more bang for the buck going to Japan tbqh, and I get to have an obscure special snowflake guitar, it's a win-win situation :^).
>>61168688
Do yourself a favor and go try a real Klon through a nice amp, make sure you dress nice so the shop owners don't think you're just another peasant tire kicker. It's really an unbelievable pedal which is why guys like Nels Cline use one when they could literally have any other overdrive on the planet.
The Klones aren't even made with the right parts.
>>61168692
>60% in taxes
dang
where are you?
>>61168476
I need in on this scam. I'm going to make 100 different accounts on the gear page(maybe some on gearslutz too), and post semi regularly with all of them(or have my little cousin do it in exchange for a shark card a month). Mean while I'm going to build a couple dozen different pedals, leave them out side a month, and then bring them inside. Then clean them up nicely while still allowing them to look like they've been abused. I'll remove all the dating info from all components with some kind of solvent. Then in going to ship a few out to my buddies in different corners of the country.
Then starts the final phase. I'm going to post one on reverb for $800, "Vintage Fuzz Distortion 1972-74 Handmade in USA". Then I'm going to take my most prestigious tgp account and start a thread. "Is this legit? I've never seen one this cheap before. I mean, it's even if it doesn't work it can't be too hard to fix. Thinking about pulling the trigger before someone beats me to it, I'll figure the rest out later. Anyone have a schematic?" Then every so often I'll take one of my other accounts and reply with something like. "I never saw another one of these before. I picked one up at an estate sale for $10, it became my main fuzz. I could never find anything on the internet about it." The rest will be history.

Here’s what Nels Cline had to say about his KLON Centaur, “I've written about it before. It's an amp in a box. No more worries in the world of AMP DU JOUR about overdrive tone. It will always be OK. The Centaur will take care of it. Consumers: It's worth the wait to get one. I've had this thing for years now. What did I ever do without it? Let them poor boys hate, We outchea eating good"
>>61168260
They don't, that's just how much they've become due to hype. The Soul Food does everything the Klon can.

My two favorite guitarists in one video. Though I think Cheney's signature White Falcon is pretty ugly.

The blonde strat and the archtop are gorgeous but I've never liked the looks of your other strat. I'm sure it plays great though.
>>61168848
Ok the legitimately made me laugh. I know it's bait but it's good bait
>>61168769
enjoy your disposable income, also buy me a guitar
>>61168767
Uruguay. Argentina is even worse nowadays because CFK (the president whose term just ended a week ago) had set a lot of restrictions on dollars to keep inflation low, so anything that isn't essential hasn't been imported in the last years.
>>61168845
But you can't try before you buy if you order
>>61168193
If your looking for an LP I hear the agile AL ones are up to snuff, especially the new 3000 ones.
>>61168769
kek, sounds like it could actually work pretty well. Those peoples are suckers.

tfw i tried an agile LP in my local music store
tfw the neck wasnt even straight
10/10
In all honesty though I know thats hardly the guitar's fault but still, I never would have imagined agile made anything but djent machines with little to no soul
>>61168887
Responds the guy who's never even seen a klon outside the net. But feel free to tell us about how many you've owned.
>>61168769
Some pedal manufacturers already do that.
It used to be everytime someone said anything about JHS pedals, tons of posters with a post count of like 15 would show up and start saying how that JHS pedal was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
>>61168848
nels cline sucks
>>61168966
since I'm trying to get into electronics, I've made a promise to myself that I won't buy any pedal if the schematic has been released online.
>>61169034
That's smart buying mate.
>>61168966
>those people
fixed, I don't know why I wrote it in cuck accent kek
>>61169017
I've never owned one but I've played several real ones. I'm thinking of selling some gear to buy one, a klone just doesn't cut it.
>>61168995
Nah, they made their name on their LPs. The djent thing just made a bigger splash since there isn't anybody else selling guitars with those features so cheap. The LPs are pretty cool and you can get through neck ones if you don't like heels. The old ones are ceramic pickups and the new ones are alnico 5s. IDK what the p90s are but they sound like sex.
>>61169034
Props on that m8. Just be careful with certain components which require trying because of big variations in specs. Germanium transistors are an example of this. I got around that because some guy modified the Fuzz Face circuit with preset resistors instead of fixed ones, which eliminates the need to get a lot of them and test them. There might be more tricks for other stuff.
>>61169046
thanks, anon. Although it does mean It'll take longer to build my dream board, since I don't always have time for soldering and stuff
>>61167537
Just one kit. I used procion dye. It's nice to make the grain pop. The anon with the jag tornado build has a better looking build. I'm not completely sold on the dyes and stains I've used on other projects. I am sold on padding on shellac, but that has taken a little practice and is crazy time consuming.
I'd probably go with automotive paints if I were spraying.
>List of things that you should be able to do before you move on:
>>....
>>Have learned at least one new song that contains both E and A Shape Major Barre Chords.
whats an easy song to learn for this? does anything stick out?
>>61169116
Honestly soldering is the least labor intensive part of the process. Making the PCB (designing, etching and drilling it) is much more laborious. In my case, since there are no metal boxes available here I also had to make one from sheet metal, prime it and paint it. Was fun but it's time consuming. For my next projects, I'll order stuff from the US, since we're now able to do that without paying a dime in taxes if it's under 200 bucks total. I'll probably order several boxes and stomp DPDT switches (the ones I get here are lever types, or shitty plastic ones if I want something to push).
Should I buy an ES with dual pickups?
Not even a jazz player and I know the distortion sounds can be a bit limited but damn I want one.
>>61169111
thank you, and nice trips. it's definitely made me aware of all the scams in the pedal industry. I keep seeing the Fuzz Face circuit everywhere! Damn boutiques think it's enough to change the name of a pedal to raise the price
>>61169184
super pretty m8
>>61169093
Ah right, I was wondering why the LP styled ones were a lot older (at least i assumed they were) its a shame it wasnt looked after properly, the intonation was way out because of it and I just discarded them making good guitars because of it.
(I ended up taking home pic related instead)
>>61169248
I would think it's only really worth it if you're going to do some acoustic or go for acoustic tones.
>>61169248

>>61169304
to be happy
>>61169029
Yea but jhs is way cheaper.
>>61169256
I actually know very little about electronics, aside from what's a diode, a resistor and a transistor lol. I don't even fully understand how "diode clipping" works or what function the Zener diode has in my FF clone, so it would be kinda hard for me to spot a "boutique FF clone" if I saw the PCB or even just an obfuscated schematic. It's true that there's a lot of hype in the boutique pedal industry though. It's the same with amps but I think they deserve more respect because there are usually more things that can go wrong with an amp. I remember a guy who made a 5150 clone and was having a weird noise problem, couldn't find what was wrong, tried changing components, gave up for years and it turns out the PCB layout was the culprit.
>>61150799
well for me, i just wanted one P bass, but i found the second one for cheap that i can use to make a somewhat custom one.
but in reality even if it's a simple P-Bass, there's still a lot of things that can make them all sound slightly different. one of them is a box guitar from the 90's, the other is a Indonesian Squier II so the builds are slightly different, and the electronics are too.
>>61169273
>those saddles
>>61169345
nice m8
I have yet to learn a stray cats song. I was glad to see more people who appreciate them too after I posted that pic. Kinda unexpected since it falls outside the common meme music being pushed all the time here.
>>61168160
>>Buys a $3,000 Gibson 335

Nah, Sterling ain't *that* good breh. They are slightly overpriced for some models.
I couldn't love more my EBMM but the real ones are far better than Sterling.
>>61169387
>box guitar
what do you mean?
>>61169304
To broaden your purposes
My epiphone les paul studio, I love thing, but I need new screws for the pickups as you can see they are rusty and may need to take it in to the shop because recently in the last year or so when I switch pickups I occasionlly need to jiggle the switch otherwise there is no contact and no sound comes out
>>61169273
Blue and gold always looks good
I must be going blind but is that gold more brassy or rose?
>>61169320
Sold it a while ago though, anon.
>>61169403
Funnily enough the bridge is the reason i got rid of it, it never fucking stayed in tune. However the intonation was incredible.
>>61169518
studiobro, I have the 2015 manhattan meme model studio. It had £250 reduction because of a mark on the back of the guitar and no one had bought it for the six months it was in store, so I took it home to look after it.
>>61169589
The bridge and tuners had a very slight red tinge to them, yeah, however everything else was just shiny gold through and through.
>>61169480
the kind of guitars that come in starter packs.

I have this same one in black, my bridge pickup get loose, so i switch it with this older dimarzio air zone i got off craigslist for 10 bucks and it is pretty sweet.

Anyone tried the Vox Night Train? As someone who isn't gonna gig anytime soon it seems perfect, but I've only tried them in stores. Someone tell me whats wrong with it
Is buying random chinese guitars not a good idea?
>>61169273
that's a really nice colorway. the brass hardware looks tight as hell.
the only thing that puts me off strats usually is that they look so generic and middle school talent show esque. it's a stupid reason, admittedly.

Alright, I want some opinions. I picked up this little...gem, from a yard sale years ago. It's easily the most fucked up guitar I've ever seen. The previous owner was a guy who played in 80s hair metal bands locally. He struggled with heroin addiction and eventually offed himself. I bought it at the garage sale from a family member. The neck feels wonderful, so I want to fix it up. I know I could buy a better guitar for the cost it'll take me, but I just feel like I should do this and I already have 2 really nice guitars. This is just for a project.
It's a kramer aerostar zx30
The pickguard is held in place by cammed out drywall screws
2 of the pots are broken
The pg was cut out with a handsaw to fit a humbucker
The bridge is missing a saddle(and the action is very high on some and low on others)
The neck pickup had some of its poles pulled out so they're higher than the fretboard.
The 5 way switch is aftermarket, larger, and in the neck position is is actually inside the hole for the old switch.
There's dings on one side of the fretboard, and some of the inlays are chipped
The frets are worn, and one is even chipped
The nut looks like it popped down and was glued back in but not seated
Only 5 of the tuners match
There looks like there used to be a string tree.
It's really rough
So far I'm thinking
Locking tuners, or maybe just plain old grovers
Tusq nut
New pups, maybe dimarzio, I'll have to listen around
New pots, Jack, and switch
Hipshot bridge
New pickguard, I'll ship the old one to pickguard heaven so they can trace it
New string tree
Maybe if I'm feeling dangerous, New fretboard from lmii, maple like this one
New frets, medium jumbo stainless
Re paint
>>61170041
For color scheme, I'm thinking about making it the 80s shred machine it always deserved to be.
Lime green and black
I'm thinking dimarzio for pups because they have lime green covers available
Pickguard will be 3 ply, black, green, black
Knobs and switch will be green, Jack, bridge, tuners, and string tree will be black.
Head stock will match the body
Inlays on New fretboard(if I decide to do it) will be black dots.
Going to try to repaint the kramer logo in black on the Head stock. What do you guys think? Super cheesy and a waste of money? That's what I'd expect out of most kramers anyways.
>>61170074
pink and black if you're not too much of a wuss.
>>61169912
Not him but I get you, like I literally can't give a reason not to like strats but they just seem tacky to me, I would take a les paul everyday of the week over it

Well he doesn't take hard black nigger cock in the ass like you so i bet he isn't a wuss

meme.
>>61169866
I played one of those lunch box night trains a long time ago, it reminded me of the Orange Tiny Terror. Small, no headroom, shitloads of gain.
Probably a fine little amp for around the house...not really a bedroom amp though, and not really anything you could use with a loud drummer unless you like tons of mushy gain.
>>61166761
shit, just bought that.
but it sounds pretty good imo
>>61170185
your ears?
>>61169872
Life's too short to spend a Gibson Les Paul's worth on cheap guitars
Whats in your 'why the hell did they stop making them?' list
These were fantastic sounding. Cheap too. Loud for 5 watts.
Another amp that should be reissued is the Trace Elliot Velocette. They made them in the late 90s. It was like a Fender Princeton that sounded even better. Those were awesome.
>>61167598
Everlong
Not even meming lmao
>>61169607
Heh, I got my studio about 5 years ago for only 550 AUD because I haggled the guy down with buying a 15watt line 6 with it
>>61170306

I'm just so tempted to pull the trigger on this
>>61170161

>>61170361
I'd pay 100 bucks extra to never have to touch a line 6

its a crap shoot.
sometimes you score something good, sometimes you get crap.
huge range of quality...best to do a lot of research on the brand/model.
