we /diy/ now, keep it up. Gonna put this humbucker in parallel, no switching.
THE ABSOLUTE
Also removing the pole pieces from one side. Going for a weak, anemic, Rickenbacker tone.
Actually, before I forget, I was thinking of leaving the air coil always on even though I know it'll pick up a bit from the neighboring pole pieces, since the other pickup in the guitar is a single coil and hum cancelling could be nice. Thoughts?

Fuck you normies, I'm better off without you! Alone, in my empty thread.
Helping hands are amazing. I shoulda got one of these ages ago. Like $10 or something.
who else is going to buy lots of things they don't need thanks to memorial day sales?
set up the trem on my aria strat copy after months of using a hardtail, why didnt i do this sooner
I'm getting a new guitar (Strat w/ floyd for those interested) and I'm planning on learning more about guitars, fixing and rewiring etc with my old one. I know I'm gonna need a sauter for the wires. What are some other must haves and general knowledge for fixing guitars?

yea dude, these things are underrated. a friend of mine was doing some impromptu soldering without them recently and it was a painful sight.

Well, I never learned how to use my multimeter right. This is 2.3k ohms, right? I think I can safely say I'm in jangle territory.
Is the hum from amps normal?
>>65215051
Oh god what the fuck
It's like a chapman stick except it's shit
>>65215396
yup 2.3k
cool project. is this your first pickup? interesting faceplace
>>65215423
for vintage shit, yeah. Newer stuff, especially solid state, shouldn't hum. Try another outlet.
>>65215396
Yes, it's ~2.4k ohms.
>>65215449
Nah, this pickup is what came in the first act. Putting it back in because I want to take another pickup out. Pairing it with a 7.1k bridge pickup, what could possibly go wrong?
>>65214438
Fuck. Every time i go to harbor freight i think about buying them. I never do because i think, "meh, I'm not going to need those anytime soon.." Then like 2 days later I'm burning my fingers.

I hear a ton of shit about those, but i don't get it. You dont need a thousand $ meter unless you're repairing computer circuitry. I have like 8 of those things. Every drawer needs one so you don't have to look. Don't even need to replace batteries. Just get new one free with coupon

No, he calls it that to try and fit in. To ease that trash into gg threads.

Any thing that isn't for shit music is fine.
While this is guitar general it's still in /mu/ so you have to be playing real music
>>65217415
what qualifies as "real music" to you? it varies a lot from person to person... Kanye for example is prey popular on /mu/...
Yo heres a "mod" im thinking of doing? you know that thing thats soldered under the wood from the out to the other thing? why not just use a clip system, similar to the way a computer fan works so you dont have to cut the cable every time you want to work on it?
Ingenious!
>>65217459
Not shred wankery or shit metal. Basically music that people that aren't complete manchildren that are fat and have long greasy hair like.
>>65217534
Please clarify further
>>65217534
if you work on those parts enough I could see that being handy, do it...
>>65217534
>>65217586
so, that includes... you're still just criticizing w/o contributing, what music do you recommend instead?
>>65217534
well you're pretty stupid but there are guitars you can just drop pickups into from the front without soldering.
>>65217628
I'm not trying to recommend music, just want people that wanna talk about or post shredshit to go to /r9k/ instead
>>65217660
Most people only mod each of their guitars once or twice at most in their life time. And soldering provides better seal for something that moves and swings around like a guitar.

Is there a special way to clean a gross as fuck fretboard or do I just take of the strings and scrub it a bit?
Do I need to wax it afterwards or anything?
>>65217926
>>65217998
you can pretty much just scrub it, and use mineral, almond lemon or linseed oil to condition it since you will have the strings off anyway...
>>65217534
You mean like what's been available for years?
>>65217926
What are some bands other than Sigur Ros that use bowed guitar for something other than noise?
Is it possible to actually use a bow to play meaningful music on a guitar? I've tried a lot but it seems impossible to hit anything but the highest and lowest strings, and even then there's a lot of screeching and scraping.
>>65218415

Would there be any quality decrease from modding a 3.55MM output (the ones used for PC microphones and headphones) onto a guitar so that I don't need an adapter for PC uses? The good old 6MM output remains there, but would the 3.55MM one sound any worse under ideal circumstances?
I have worked fucking magic on this guitar. It sounds phenomenal. I'm gonna do a demo soon, all virtual stuff though. What's a mix of amps and pedals you guys 'd like for such a demo?
I left in the pole pieces for now, I might try taking them out too, just to go over the edge completely.

>>65218567
magic.
>>65218567
No, what I meant was a direct 3.55MM output, not an adapter to the 6MM output. Like, both of them side by side. Would the 3.55MM one sound any worse?
>>65218609
>stereo to mono
>>65218643
not as long as it was wired the same, no.
>>65218713
They're exactly the same. The mono output from the pickup going to both the mono connector on the 3.55MM and the 6MM, and the same with the ground connector.
>>65218656
TRS doesn't automatically mean stereo. You can have a mono source through a TRS input and the two lines will work with one another to reduce line static
>>65218742
then as long as you don't mistakenly short anything out, it won't sound any different. I'd avoid plugging both outputs in at the same time, because then the impedance of your computer and the impedance of your amp are interacting, which might get weird.
>>65218760
What the fuck would I plug both in for?
Just got this today at a pawn shop in Myrtle Beach Epiphone El Segundo NA. Been lookifr an acoustic for a while finally found one iny price range. Haven't plugged it in yet but I'm headed back to PA tomorrow so I'll hve acess to my amp
>>65218754
>You can have a mono source through a TRS input and the two lines will work with one another to reduce line static
>I have no idea what I'm talking about
>>65218801
>I can't explain the difference between TS and TRS
>>65218766
I don't know, people get weird ideas like putting a 3.5mm jack into their guitar in the first place instead of using an adapter.
>>65218820
>he seriously thinks you can have a mono source through a TRS connection and the two (!) lines will work with one another to reduce line static
holy shit what an idiot
>>65218858
assuming the lines are twisted, the unused ring might act as a shield if it's grounded.
>>65218875
once again
>I have no idea what I'm talking about
Hmm, going to check out a guitar second hand but have no amp. What should I do?
>>65218827
Those adapters break off very fucking easily and I'm not very keen on the idea of having a fucking adapter graveyard in my house instead of modding an input onto the guitar.
>>65218955
have you tried looping your cable through your strap to reduce tension on the jack?
>>65218902
>he thinks using a TRS connection makes an unbalanced TS connection balanced
>display of ignorance about how basic audio cables work
>>65218955
And after you get your first pedal you'll just use an adapter to plug into that, then?
>>65219050
I already have a pedal and I only use it with an Amp. Why the fuck would I connect it to a PC? All I do with my PC and my guitar is effects when my pedal doesn't have what I'm looking for.
>>65219070
I have a rocksmith cable plugged into the Auxiliary output of my Sansamp specifically so that I don't muck about with moving the thing. That guy might be on to something: if you have, for example, any true bypass pedal (ideally one you don't actually want to use), you can use it as a sturdy non-moving housing for an adapter, and just plug into the pedal when you want to connect to your PC.
I guess you could also get a broken pedal as long as it has two good jacks, crack it open and just directly solder them together without any pedal circuitry between them.
anyone played a guitar before
>>65219171
fuck no
>>65219171
no but i played a mememachine
Alright, here's the demo of my first act. I have plenty of excuse prepared for my poor playing if required. First is neck pickup through vox ac30, then with tube screamer, next is bridge the same, next is both the same.
Fell in love with a girl played with fender reverb, with a tiny bit of spring reverb, boosted. I can't remember the order of pickups but both at the same time is last.
Sorry it's so long but please tell me what you think of the guitar by listening to a little of it.
I know the audio shits out a few times. My computer is shit.

It just seems pointlessly limiting. A box with each of the necessary jacks would do just as well. Or a cable with 1/4" on one side and 1/8" on the other. There are faster, cheaper, and easier to accomplish ways to solve the issue. Just sayin'. Do whatever.
>>65219534
I guess that makes a lot of sense. Always wondered how they got that sound
>>65219630
5150 II, bow, and a ton of reverb.
I tried to get into the ballpark awhile back but the settings still elude me.

If you want to get the scratching right down use a tiny amount of reverb or delay and a ton of rosin.

Guy I used to play with set himself a limit of 16... Most I've ever had at once was seven.
>>65220195
I'm having a blast.
>>65220038
Okay fine I'll make the excuses:
long day at work
2:30 am
couldn't think of anything to play
had on these super light strings I found, but I normally play with mediums
But really though how does the guitar sound? Keep in mind it does actually have level frets and whatnot.
>>65220126
no i don't play professionally, i mean i've played a few gigs but i don't like being in a band and i can't sing. so that basically means i can't get by just being the guitarist and i'm incapable of playing live alone.
still it's a cheaper hobby than others, like car/motorcycle collecting and stuff.
>>65220195
see you say 16 and that sounds like a lot but i can easily think of 6 guitars i don't have and really want right now (vintage strat with maple neck and nitro finish, gibson les paul, esquire, mustang, jaguar, electric company, etc...)
>>65220289
sounds like it needs to be intonated and the pickups sound thin.
![hartke-ak-410-jpg[1].872170_.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/YpUR4OF.jpg "hartke-ak-410-jpg[1].872170_.jpg")
So I just bought this Ak410 for $300 local. The grill frame is slightly warped on the top but other than a couple of nicks it is in great condition.
Reminds me exactly of the Ampeg 810 I used to have, probably because it is sealed with enclosed 2x10 chambers.
I may have posted this the other day I can't remember desu. Now I'm just trying to sell my old USA Washburn so I can get a new amp head to go with it.
Should i get an axl badwater or a headliner? price difference is about 50 bucks

I wouldn't overthink it. In my old band I had three of the same guitar just so I had backups.
>still it's a cheaper hobby than others, like car/motorcycle collecting and stuff.

that's true, I love big cocks in my mouth and lets be honest so do you
What difference does the amount of pickups make? ie 2 vs 3 shouldnt be too much of an issue? or does it actually affect where you can play it?
Longtime lurker.
This is my setup. 1964 Gibson SG Junior into a Pro co RAT2 into MXR tube-screamer into a Dunlop 95Q Crybaby Q was pedal and a BOSS DM-2W to end the chain all played through my Blackheart Killer Ant 1watt amp.
>>65221688
3 pickup, say 3 humbuckers with volume controls impart a smoother tone to your playing. Fuck single coils. Fuck thin jangly sounds. Im not a faggot. Im a rock star richer then all of you. I eat the whole egg.
>>65221713
thats a cool dog
>>65221713
the classic overdrive is not a tubescreamer. Its nothing close to the TS circuit. The enclosure is green, but they made them in black and white too. Its MxRs circuit and has an internal switch on the PCB to make it a Zakkwyle Overdrive. Use what you have to make music. Learn to do the most with minimal equipment.
>>65221713
The GT OD customshop is the same as the classic overdrive but 40 bucks more.
>>65221713
Put the wah infront of the od and rat. it'll sound much better.
>>65221684
>>65221713
>the effects cost more then the amp
get it together, Tyrone.
>>65221776
Interesting. That was what it was sold to me as. I am honestly very new to pedals. Right now I normally play this setup when jamming but on the go just play out of a Fender Mini '57 Twin
>>65221799

>>65220195
>>65220126
>silverburst gibsons
And if i keep looking, i'll do a cum!
>>65221892
Your pedal setup is fine if it works for gigging. Again like said before, try the wah before the od and rat. Before and after distortion/fuzz gives the wah different tones/depths in filter range.
>>65222009
Silver busts turn green, like you cum on your saved up cum tshirt. I remember telling that to some kid that REALLY wanted an Epi silverbust LP custom, told him they turn green and linked him to some lit and pix, he bought a white one the next day.

Yellowed silverbursts look good. You do know it's just the clear coat right? If it bothers you it's just a matter of pulling it off and reapplying it. Then you're back to the original colour.

What do you guys think is the reasonable number of guitars for someone to own who plays purely as a hobby for any tone they could need, 5?
>one nice acoustic
>2 electric solids (ex. SSS , something HH)
>1 semihollow/hollow
>nice bass
I feel guilty for having just 3.
>>65223597
all you'll ever need
>>65220073
I fucking love those guys please be that guy. Some old dad with male pattern baldness and a tucked in Polo playing Sultans of Swing in the back of the shop. Literally my favorite kind of people
>>65220601
Is this like a repair shop guy or something? Why would anyone buy that many cheap and shitty guitars?
>>65223597
I'm aiming for 4 guitars and 2 basses
>HH 7 string, probably going to be a JP EBMM with piezos
>7 string hollowbody, pic related, I'll probably add piezos because I can
>8 string
>fretless guitar, either 6 or 7 string
As for bass I'd just go with a fretted and a fretless 5 string.
I don't mind modding, so I'll probably add in a few controls and swap pickups on everything.
I also plan on gigging, not full on touring musician but playing some shows would be nice.
Friendly reminder: the kiddies who post in /gg/ threads have nearly ***zero*** experience concerning guitar. Playing, repair, new player recommendations, etc. The average age in these threads is around early 20s: green as shit grass.
If you have an actual question this is probably one of the most uninformed & least knowledgeable places you could ever expect a proper answer to come from.
Be weary of any advice given here as it's amateur & perfunctory at best.
Have a nice day.

The AK's are great cabs, I used to run a 4x10/1x15 setup for a good while till i decided to go over to both 1x15's thses days, although I am missing my 4x10 a bit. Since I just got a new SUNN 1200s 1200 watt amps, i might go over to hydrives since they can handle more power. Pic related.
>>65224051
Yeah no I want an 8 string and genuinely like some bands that use 8 strings but I'm definitely not watching this retard or listening to periphery.

>>65224084
I prefer my 8 strings to be integrated more tastefully into the music instead to be 0-0-0-0 all the time. Maybe Haken could be an example.
Although I have been listening to the Doom OST on a constant basis, shit is dope for working out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNkQMtZAMAw
>>65224139
As much as the playing in Haken is nice, I can't stand the wow-so-prog vocals.

A chord's just a combination of notes. Playing songs is just mashing chords combos in rhythm

No.

How hard is it to permanently bypass the tone knobs no a PCB guitar?

>tubes' lights go out and there's burnt plastic scent in the room

Fuck my life. LITERALLY fuck my life. Get my life's fuckhole and put your dick inside it. FUCK
(at least the amp is okay)
>>65224531
this doesn't work btw, after you refresh they come back
>>65224648
Then go to his channel and block him. It's in the "About" tab.
>>65224348
>this is what mememachiners actually believe
wew
>>65224682
I already blocked him with the video blocker extension, I didn't know there was another way
Daily reminder to stop looking at that gorgeous AAA flame top guitar and work towards the goal of being a better guitarist instead
>>65224777
Why not both
>>65224777
I don't, in fact I barely feel any lust for any guitar anymore, and I only play guitar once every few days now noodling random shit, what the hell do I do?
>>65224520
A Memeson, you say?
>>65224844
Nice
where do you even get a dog guitar?
>>65225135
go to your local pet store
Here it is, kids: 7, 8, and 9 string guitars are the result of kids playing in their bedrooms for years and years all alone. The poor kid in this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osaqzYuoNr4 ) overly technical "playing" is unfortunately just a compensation for the lack of a bass player/band. It's sad because the point of music is communication and the most enjoyable form of this communication is a concert (where people gather to share the musical experience). The only people who'd be interested in this kind of guitar wankery are other isolated bedroom-stuck 7, 8, and 9 string guitar troglodytes, so it's YouTube and the bedroom again, and MOM WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY HOT POCKETS?!?
Seriously though, it's a symptom of extreme social detachment/isolation, and goes right along with a lot of other unhealthy things like playing video games as an adult, masturbating to internet porn, etc. You'll also notice all these bedroom "pastimes" require a good bit of rapid hand/finger movement.
Playing music shouldn't be the equivalent of mashing buttons on a video game controller or furiously jacking your tiny dick, which is obviously what 8 and 9 string guitar players believe.
Picked up this beaut' of a guitar today, It may even be my new main guitar.
has anyone tried Vintage guitars? if yes, how are they? Better than Epiphones or Mexican Strats?
>>65225221

Yes, guitars. This is /gg/ - guitar and bass general.

No, this is /mmg/ - mememachine general.

thats exactly what i imaged he would look like
>>65225620
You keep posting solo artists pretending they're all lonely and being pathetic because they're alone, that's not really making a point. Look, I can do it too.

pls go
hey guys, I have a handicap at my right hand, and I became a lefty because of that, do you gus think maybe I can play guitar, eletric guitar or bass? I can go up and down in the chords with my roght hand, and do normal stuff with my left, can I play at least something? Or I have to use both hands in very difficult ways always?
>>65225892
No sorry.
Hey acoustifags I bought one of these for £160 second hand and it'll probably come next weekend. Did I do goofed or nah?
Apparently sigma is Martins equivalent to fender's squier from what I've read
>>65225281
Does the tin man have a sheet metal cock?
>>65225892
Django Reinhardt kept playing despite having lost most of his hands, Tony Iommi has lost his fingertips and still plays (he has prosthetics though), Les Paul played with a cast for a while. All you need is determination.
As for which hand to use, I'd say that depends if you want to play fingerstyle or with a pick, and how you're handicapped.
>>65225991
I have all fingers and members, but I can't move my right fingers very well or fast
>>65225935
It's going to be lesser quality than a traditional Martin, use lesser woods, more bracing, etc
So it won't sound as good.
However if you are beginning or just want a cheap acoustic to mess around with it'll be more than fine until you want to upgrade
