Old thread: 65291542
>>65304560
Sorry, old thread >>65291542.
Stumbled upon this Washburn R314KK a couple of weeks ago, picked it up as a knock-around/campfire/bench seat beater. Surprisingly good performer for a budget build, seems spec'd for fingerstyle blues. Open headstock and steep breakover angle helps a lot with tuning stability (allowing you to really dig into bass notes with your right hand without worry), wide nut and fanned string spacing towards the saddle for comfortable right hand action, very pronounced V-shape neck is actually quite comfortable for wrap around thumb chords, and unusually loud for a parlor size body, it's actually louder than my Larrivee dreadnought. Styling is love or hate, it won me over, the "Trembesi" back and sides have an interesting porous grain to them, binding all over the place including the neck and headstock, very nicely set inlays. Came with a very compact old style hardcase, great travel guitar, small enough to roll up in my sleeping bag alongside the rest of my camping gear and sling over my shoulder, big enough and braced well enough to keep up with larger guitars without sacrificing much tone. I'll post a tone demo if I have time later tonight, until then I'll just post somebody else's:

I really really really like my Epi T-bird but the burst is damn hideous imo and was wondering how it would look like more subtle burst, chrome hardware and some old reflector knobs. Oh, and it's a bolt-on neck so it won't be a problem to detach it if I'm ever gonna refinish it. Any thoughts?
>>65305522
With more subtle burst*
So just a few questions. I'm currently running through an acoustic b100 and i love it. No complaints. But my drummer has a behringer k3000fx pa combo/keyboard amp at his house and we both think itd be cool to link the two. What would be the best way? I thought about running a cable from the effects send on my combo to the stereo link input on the pa. But couldn't i just go fx send straight into one of channels? Would this damage anything? And should i use a speaker cable to link them?
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.

I have the ability to get a twin reverb for almost the same price as a deluxe reverb.
Should I go for that instead or no?
I'm really only a bedroom player so I don't know if it's worth it.
>>65305850
>bedroom
>loud ass 2x12 combos
why
>>65305874
I do sometimes play with a drummer, so the deluxe is loud enough for that. and I can sort of turn up the deluxe at home too.
I was just wondering if it was worth bothering with the twin, would be way too loud I think.
>>65305917
then don't get it... get something that fits your needs. why don't you go for a blues deluxe or some other 1x12 combo?
>>65306033
so a deluxe reverb?
>>65305522
You (probably) need to lower the rear bridge posts and raise the front post. String break angle looks very slight and those saddles tend to shake and buzz, and the intonation can go out over time with rough playing.
Not a necessity obviously if you are not having problems, but it can be very unpleasant to suddenly find out your intonation is out, especially because it makes you wonder how long it's been out.
>>65306255
jesus fucking christ make up your own mind, there's no right answer
>>65305850
If you want a big expensive amp maybe try looking for a MESA Lonestar 2x12, it has a similar voice to old Fender's like the Deluxe Reverb, at least then you can switch the power down to 10W when you're bedroom jamming, and you still have 50W and 100W options if you do start gigging or playing with a band. You could find one on CL for $1000 - 1200.
>>65306255

Yeah right at the end of the last thread: http://picosong.com/KVWN/
Lonestar 2x12 clean channel at 10W with a Telecaster. It's a pretty versatile rig, at least within the first 75% of the tone spectrum, Chet Atkins up to Tony Iommi, but you won't be able to get any extreme metal tones out of it. The power options are a god sent, the clean tone is the best MESA has in their lineup, the dirty tones are great if you're looking for vintage voicing. But no amp is perfect, at gigging and jamming volumes it's much better through a closed back cab, tightens up the bass.

It is a wonderful amp. Top quality from Mesa.
If you need high gain with good cleans you can look for a Mark series but they are usually a tad more expensive unless you get a Mark V 25 or 35 which have EL84 tubes, to me they are really good regardless of the tubes some don't like them.

Well, I can't figure out a great way to cut slots in my pickguard for vertical switches ala jazzmaster, so I'm just gonna wing it.

When I bought mine I was living near Vancouver, $800 off of some poor soul who was late on rent and needed money that day. He also gave me a full set of replacement tubes, a tuner, and an SM57 with it, totally bizarre, probably won't see a deal like that ever again. I typically see them on Craigslist in BC for ~$1200. There's only 1 in Vancouver right now and it's $1400 in visibly used condition, it's also a Lonestar Special 2x12 which is voiced a bit differently. Have to be weary of that, there are several different Lonestar models and they don't all sound the same.
>>65307380
I grew up burning myself out on BC Richs, Jacksons, ESPs, and Razorbacks, 'bland' is very welcome compliment, at this point if it's not dirt, sand, or wood colored, I'm not interested (unless it has a chrome tailpiece, you could slap a chrome tailpiece on a fucking eggplant and I'd buy it).
Pic related is my next target.
>>65307986
We did, but americuck is half the problem.
Technically I can afford pretty much anything, but I want to keep it under $1000. Right now I'm looking at a used DRRi for $999, which is a pretty good price here.
What's the best way to learn to play?
Learn the basics and fundamentals before going straight to playing tabs or just diving head in?

Japanese Fenders all seem to have ridiculously thick neck profiles for some reason. Nips have small hands, it really doesn't make any sense. They stay in tune better as a result, sure, but they aren't worth it to me at all.
>>65308556
Are you the guy who was sanding a neck the other day?
>>65308232
This is a hard question to answer well in 2000 characters.
Easiest answer is 'with a teacher'.
Can't stress that enough, sure there are a lot of self taught guitarists out there but holy hell is it a grind, a teacher can really streamline the whole process and you'll climb the learning curve way faster. You can probably find teachers in your neighborhood on Craigslist that offer the first lesson free, that's a good way to gauge whether or not they'll be worth your money. A good teach will be able to read your current skill level and will know right away which route is best for you start, and you feel stoked to keep learning by the end of the first lesson, if you're beaten down and stressed then fuck that guy, he ain't supposed to beat you down until the 3rd lesson at the earliest.
If for whatever reason you just can't afford lessons, the best I can say for self guided learning is:
1. Learn to read tab.
2. Learn the notes along the neck.
3. Learn basic chords.
4. Learn the power chord.
5. Start learning beginner rock songs via YouTube tutorials
6. Start learning harder rock songs via YouTube tutorials
7. Start learning pentatonic minor scales and how to use them for improvising solos via YouTube.
8. Start learning major scales and how to use them.
9. At this point you'll know where you want to go with guitar.

I've noticed this too which I found odd, but I like it as they are more faithful to the originals.

I'm still not sure how America plays into it? If your economy is suffering because of low oil prices shouldn't the blame be placed on Saudi Arabia for flooding the oil market to put North American shale producers out of business?

Fair enough. FYI, the preamp section runs before the FX loop, so it'll be:
gear>acoustic preamp>berhinger amp
The signal isn't hot since its doesn't go through the power section so you can use any cable without fear of damaging anything.
If the stereo link input is what I think it is it'll just be a balanced input so it'll sound terrible.

I get a nasty buzz on my bass when playing past the 12th fret. I don't notice any difference playing through an amp but it is quite annoying to listen to when practicing unplugged and I'm sure I'm losing some sustain.
The first notes are on the third fret. The second notes are on the 15th fret.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1sYIXWMcZYB
Is this the action? How can I fix this?
anyone got a recommendation for a recording mic before i go buy one?
>>65309097
So could anything go wrong just going from the acoustic preamp straight into one of the channels on the behringer?
>>65309125
SM57 is the easy answer and should do anything you need it to do.
>>65308844
sorry bro had to list it since i thought the original OP might have wanted all those 300 watts
i personally don't like it but hey maybe it'll be somebody else's cup of tea since the amp is pretty flexible in its tone too
>>65309115
You need to raise the action at the bridge, then redo the intonation.

our dollar is falling because the american dollar is rising
since goods are mostly bought and sold with the american dollar, a strong american dollar makes ours weaker
us dollar rises with drops in oil since its a net importer and our biggest trading partner
really only problem for me is trying to import stuff :/
>>65309139
Only thing I can see going wrong is if your first preamp increases the signal too much. Then it'll clip into the second preamp. Other issue is that you'll get both hums from the preamps. I have never done this so I can only speculate. Try it for yourself.
>>65309328
>our dollar is falling because the american dollar is rising

It sounds more like your country needs to get its shit together than Americas doing anything wrong then. You shouldn't be placing blame anywhere except on your own government for what you're experiencing.
Which place do you guys get your tabs/notes from?

Most microphones, SM57 included, require XLR cables, so you'll need an interface to make it work with your computer. The easiest and most reasonably priced interfaces I know of are the Focusrite Scarlett Solo or the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, $150 or $200 depending on how many microphones you want to use. Then you just hook the Focusrite up to your computer, plug in the microphone, download Audacity for free, and then away you go. That's the setup I use, this is what it sounds like: https://soundcloud.com/epoch6

Hey guys, how much can I sell this guy for? It's an Ibanez Prestige RG2550EX w/ upgraded pickups (DiMarzio Tone Zone in the bridge and an Air Norton in the neck). Also have the stock pickups as well. Originally bought the thing for like $700 or $800.
It's got plenty of paint chips (mostly on the edges, basically looks fine from the front), missing the chrome hardware caps for the volume and tone knobs, missing the whammy bar. Also need to solder a wire; when the pickup selector is in the full bridge position, the sound is faint. Other than these things, there's nothing 'wrong' with the guitar as far as I know, other than I've had the thing for a decade. Like the frets aren't in perfect shape, there's definitely some wear on them(no idea if they need to be replaced...it plays fine for me but I don't know much about guitars). The neck should be cleaned. Basically nothing bad has ever happened to the guitar but there's never been any refurbishing on the typical wear & tear.
Here's the exact model http://ibanez.wikia.com/wiki/RG2550EX
So yeah, really curious how much I should put this thing up for on Ebay/Cragislist. I have no idea.

Learn to play classical.
They're virtually interchangable, flamenco is just as much about technique as classical is.
When you say "solos" that indicates to me that you're just an electric guitarist who heard a mode of the harmonic minor and wants to play it quickly.
Protip: my 16th note picado after six years of playing classical/some flamenco is only at 140BPM.
Need to be more like 190BPM to play Paco's music.
Technique is huge and you're going to learn it wrong if you barrel into it.
Here's some right hand studies for you to start:
http://www.stormthecastle.com/classical_guitar/Collection/120studies-for-right-hand.pdf
Learn them as efficiently as possibly.
The idea is minimize right hand effort, if you can produce the most volume for the least movement then you're doing well.
any hot onions regarding this unit?

I only play classic guitar and don't eve own an E-guitar.
I'm sorry if I was using the wrong descriptions but I don't use English often when talking about guitars. I just wanted some more notes to choose from for Solo guitar and not Duets or more.
While we are at the topic, how did you learn your Legato technique? Teacher probably? I'm having quite some problems with the longer ones, they loose so much volume.
>>65310548
Yeah rust on a fender is vintage relic, rust on an ibanez is damage
>>65310484
Okay, I'll do that. I feel like I should at least be able to get like $400 or something. But yeah, I'm clueless, I didn't know guitars depreciate. And I'll look into at least cleaning up the neck a bit and fixing the pickup. I might bring it into a guitar shop, just not sure how much that'll cost.
>>65310455
Dude idk, I obviously don't know much about this shit so that's why I'm asking.
>>65310592
If you fix the issues it has you can get $400 at least I think.

K. I'll get a shop to fix the wiring for the pickup and I'll clean the neck and frets up. Any idea how much it'd cost to get the wiring fixed? I'm assuming it's cheap but I really have no idea.
>>65310981
Ask around, depends on your location.
Anyone with some experience with soldering could fix it. A TV repairman helped me the first time I changed the pups in a PRS.
A friend of mine who's tech does it for $10 but I doubt many shops will have those prices.
Cleaning can be done by yourself, get some Dunlop lemon oil and guitar polish if you want to do it hassle free.
>>65307213
Nice collection, what's the thing on the left? I've seen some of those things with pickups but I still don't know what they are.
Also it seems we share the same taste in music.
>>65310557
The very nature of the guitar is that our strongest note is at the beginning of the attack.
If I want a note to sustain longer I must either attack with more force(but not too much so it slaps the fretboard) or add some light vibrato which will draw people's attention to that note for longer.
Sometimes in guitar it's more about the illusion of sustain than actually hearing the note.
It's a hard balance.
Are there any good cheap acoustic guitars.
And by cheap I mean like harmony/stella/kay acoustics, or lesser known obscure guitar brands.
In the market for either parlor or jumbo guitars.
Also are acoustics with x bracing desirable?

You didn't like them birds my man? :(
>m9
A guitar player nearby has it, he sound alright but I'm not sure how much he really uses the m9 in his overall sound.
If you don't have many effects or wish for a Mulltieffects unit I hear the modulations and delay/reverbs are ok.
>>65311725
i actually have the m5 which i use mostly for reverb and i've been wishing i could use more than 1 fx at a time
PRS SE was never my kind of guitar but I found a great deal last year when I was short on cash and now it's paying off. Gonna miss the mother fucker though, it's really grown on me.
>>65311816
>i actually have the m5 which i use mostly for reverb and i've been wishing i could use more than 1 fx at a time
Then you will be golden with the m9, I don't see any problem.

What do you mean by "no+load" ?
Question for those who make music and make extensive use of effects pedals..
Any tips and tricks to remember the settings you use for different songs and different sections of songs?
>>65305021
pretty basic shit m8
>>65312274
i don't make music but i'd just take a cell phone pic of the pedalboard, put the pic on my computer, and label it/organize it in some way.

Really get to know your gear and what every knob does. It'll be common sense. It's easy enough to memorize imo.
>>65312194
I meant to type no-load. As in, removing the carbon at one end so it disconnects completely at one side, so it's bypassed. I doubt I'd miss the low end, but I'm curious what you guys think.
>>65312052
It doesn't really matter, no one pays any attention to bass unless a guitarist is playing it.
>>65311290
How cheap, most old cheap guitars will have warped necks. You could keep searching in person but I would never buy one online.
Ibanez and Alvarez make great parlor guitars in the $300-$500 range. I like these

Is buying dirt cheap guitars and upgrading the electronics practical?
Like something like this?
>>65312543
if you want to. everything else is going to be cheap but its a good project to work on so you can see how everything works.
>>65312543
If its a nice wood and your willing to scrap the neck etc later on, but a good body to work on would be fine to put new pickups and constantly upgrade it into the guitar you want if you don't have the money right now.
>>65312379
Is Pat Martino the Vai of jazz? I swear all he does is play fast runs all the time in his interpretations.
Any faster and he's in shred territory.
>>65312543
does that guitar even fit in that case?
also it really depends
some guitars can not be salvaged.
If you have no experience with it, don't bother, just buy a good guitar. Unless you're okay with having a piece of crap.
i was messing around in a free tabbing software, and came up with this: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1xYKWJO9VSj
problem is, i like the hell out of it but its literally impossible to play without 3 guitarists basically.
but anyways tell me what you think
>>65312801
I kinda like it, sounds almost oriental. Could belong in a videogame or something
but shit could definitely be simplified for maybe 2 guitars. A lot of redundancy in the notes it sounds like

>>65305564
FX loop outs are in the ballpark of line level. If it's safe to pipe that into a rack reverb (as intended) then it's safe to run it into a mixer channel. And just to be specific, no need to use a speaker cable, it's a line level signal.
>>65305850
Twins are wonderful amps but if HOLY FUCK ITS LOUD is not what you want then don't bother. You'll get a better sound out of a pushed DR then a Twin with the volume at 1.

How do you remember your guitar parts? If it's by feel, then get a better feel for your instruments (fx included obv). If you transcribe them to paper, do the same for your pedals.
Alright time to contribute to thread. Have these 2 guitars i'm proud of the one on the left is a 2013 Les Paul jr that i got for 500 bucks after it being at my guitar center for 2 years, it is the heaviest fucking guitar i have ever owned slammed against my computer and it fucked up the computer with out getting a dent, this is murder weapon material. And the one on the right is a 1969 Yamaha G-50a that my dad got from a apartment that someone moved out of and it is a great for fingerstyle and flamenco. Thoughts?
>>65312691

>>65312962
dont give up on those Stellas man, sometimes you'll get lucky come across one that has a straight neck. Check antique shops
>>65312925
awesome, I have one of those Yamahas sounds amazing for how cheap they are (i guess age has improved the sound). The back is made of Katsura wood which is pretty bizarre, never seen another guitar with it.
Just checking the width here... There's no way this is going to work. I think I'll have to stick with 3 measly pickups.
I've been playing bass for 1 year now, only seriously started practicing 4 months in and it's the first instrument I'm ever playing. A university prof has invited me to play with him and a bunch of students, he plays drums or other percussion stuff and they just come together and practice/perform at the Uni. I think it would help me but at the same time I'm afraid I could ruin it or look like an idiot. None of them are professional musicians, but I assume they've been playing for more than a year or two.
Should I just do it or is it too early? I have a similar issue with the music academy I'm attending, to play with people of my skill level would mean to play with 10-14 year olds for the most part, and that seems so incredibly silly.
>>65313386
Just play the roots if you get lost
>>65313386
Dive in, and just be clear about where you are in the learning process. Everyone's been there and will understand.
>>65313386
>hey guys i havent been playing very long
there you go
>>65313425
Not that anon but when you say roots, do you mean the tonic of the scales? The root note of chords?
>>65313306
That said, I could eliminate the gap between the pickups. Just leave a sliver of space, but no pickguard between. Thoughts?
>>65307213
What's that first electric on the left? And what's the thing going from the bridge to the strap button?

could you shave some space into the wood for more room for that pickup and have it go through the pick guard to give more room in between the pickups

usually do chord flashcards, practice my scales, work on strokes and work on sightreading for fifteen minutes each
>>65313556
Something like this... I think this is what I'll go with. Enough gap between the humbucker and the edge of the pickguard for the same gap to be on both sides if the pickups are flush.

Should I remove the grill from my combo amp? Are there any downsides?
>>65313783
Speaker cones are pretty delicate, that's why you have a grill there in the first place. You don't want to accidentally knock your guitar or anything else into the cones, it could damage them.
>>65313689
The wood's gonna be a swimming pool route. I don't have enough confidence in my ability to route with the shit method I'm using and make it neat, so I want a margin at least on the bridge side. I guess I could make the single coil flush with the p90... I'm mostly worried about what'll look best at this point. A gap between the p90 and single, or a gap between the humbucker and single... Maybe I should do some photoshop mockups.
>>65313783
it is there to protect your speakers from getting fucked up with scratches and other stuff i wouldn't recommend unless you hat your amp
how do i soubd shoegave
>>65313857
could you put the humbucker and the single coil together so it would look like a triplebucker
>>65313783
no downsides, just looks retarded
>>65313753
yeah, pretty much, it's a ridiculous deal
here's their setup rates:

dunno what strings I should get though.
what is /gg/'s favourite set of 9 gauge strings for electric?
>>65305522

>>65308299

>>65313915
i just get super slinkys since my store always has them on sale
>>65309278
XLR -> USB is also viable
>>65313997
Japanese Fenders come with thick polyurethane finishes, you'd have to be a monster player to wear into one of those.
>>65313892
Well, that's what I was suggesting. The aleternative is to put the single coil by the p90 to give it more of an S-H-H look. I should have mentioned, the single will be a lipstick so I won't be getting too consistent of a look anyway.
>>65313645
So sorry for being so ignorant, but you just play the same single root over and over again?
>>65314028
i used to as well
but looking for alternatives
/gg/ seems to hate ernie ball strings for some reason, any reason why?
>>65314077
Now that I think about it, if I get a lipstick in danelectro dimensions, it'll match up with the length of the p90 better and be a bit thinner. I think I'll go with no gap between the lipstick and p90 in that case.
>>65314174
If the idea of playing the exact same note for the entire song seems wrong, then you are correct. Play the root of the chords. You change notes along with the chord changes.
>>65311290
A music store in the area here has a "going out of business" sale. I got an Ibanez one for $100. I didnt have any acoustic guitars, so i fig wtf. I've played better ones but for the price it fine. GC has sales like that erry once in a while. Like memorial weekend. Try there then.
>>65314077
what will the other pickups be if it is a lips stick i think you should put it next to the p90
>>65314202
I don't like them because they rust too fast and are not as bright as daddario prosteels. Can't get enough of that bright fresh tone for metal.
>>65314174
There are only seven notes and five tones, dude.
Ask Jesus for guidance, he's listening.
>>65314204
ya i owned a danelectro those pickups will go with anything put it next to the p90
>>65314230
Ahh okay thanks for that clarification.
>>65314264
i don't play metal, is it just a metal thing?
>>65314355
Not only, I do feel like they make distortion clearer but I also like them for regular clean tones. They're super cheap anyway, $6 a pack.
I can also pull off a bass mockery by slapping and using the right settings, which is fun.
Thanks for the help guys. Danelectro size it is.
>>65314430
Hopefully i can see it when you finish
so do the strings you play with actually have an important factor in how you sound?
i can't imagine different gauges or brands/coatings having different sounds non-acoustically
or is the only real difference the feel and longevity?
what is the best string brand? should I just stick with fender bullets? the elixir nanowebs or whatever?
>>65314776
Different gauges absolutely affect the sound. Get an 8 gauge string and tune it to E, then do the same with a 12. It's very noticeable.
Is this shit 10 pico farads or 100 pico farads? Reads "473JA 100"
>>65308422
lookin good anon, how's the squire neck?
we 'mirin lipstick tubes today?
>>65314776
different gauges sound different, but you can't just slap on a .12 set on a standard setup tele or strat, you need to file the nut stright slots to match the gauge.
other than that, meh. i've tried a few different brands over the years (all .10s) and to me it doesn't make that much of a difference. ernie balls rust faster in my experience, not sure why. i just stick to d'addario 10s now. i was using DR 10s for a while and to me they aren't worth the extra money
>>65315029

Uninstall the drivers, use a driver cleaner, then reinstall. Make sure you're using the correct drivers, ie for your OS, 32/64bit, etc.
>>65315029
I honestly hope your posting this stupid hipster Mac Demarco tier shit as bait. That wear pattern is indicative of someone who can't play flailing away at the top two strings like a fucking retard.

i've done that multiple times. i've come to the conclusion the drivers just shit. check out the focusrite website with adblock turned off too btw and you'll lose all credibility for them as well
>>65315370
So last year then?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l605_1pC9s
kind of a shitty test, but try it out
i got the valve amp right and mixed up the other two
>>65314776
i play 12s on a tele in a few different tunings and i just like them because when i first started playing i played bass so i got used to thick strings. the only con is its a lot harder to bend in standard tuning but if you play lower the strings are less flimsy and i feel that there is better sustain than 10s
>>65315428

oh thank god
i thought he would start playing some shitty high gain metal right away as if you could tell the difference
I mixed up the first two, but could easily tell the last was SS. Sounded terrible in comparison imo
>>65315569
oh look, he does just that in the next comparison video
what a retard
>>65315569
i wasn't quite so sure on his first pass with the clean sound, but during the second part where he starts putting some light gain into it and driving the amps, that's where i immediately heard the tube amp.

>>65308597
it seems odd, but people with smaller hands tend to like chunkier and more rounded necks
my hands are basically completely average and i don't really like the standard D neck they put on fenders, i tried out a friends late 70s (i think?) C shaped neck profile strat and i absolutely loved it.
>tfw 3 of your 5 axes are out of the stable
Shelling out to have them setup/adjusted/repaired at my local shop (yearly ritual). My acoustic needs fretwork and the nut might need to be filed, I'm having my main guitar setup for Eb tuning/restrung, and the vintage Gibson that's on loan to me is basically unplayable in its current condition (neck relief is insanely out of whack, among other issues due its owner neglecting it)
It's sort of weird coming home from work and seeing so much empty space.
>>65308597
i have jumbo hands and i absolutely love the ridiculous nip necks
i guess they're year-correct?
>>65315936
Honestly, they just get stuck with their thumbs behind the neck directly on the skunk stripe because that's where your hand is trapped on those necks. Nothing wrong with that of course, I just like to have the thumb over option if I want it.
>>65316053
>it seems odd, but people with smaller hands tend to like chunkier and more rounded necks
Not really, no. The only people I've ever met who looked for larger necks were players with large hands who developed tendon problems after years of playing small necks for speed. Or people like this guy >>65316125.
>>65315891
>i speak for /gg/
kysmm
>>65316170
yeah
my hands go way too far over the neck when I play the modern thin fender necks.
its different, not bad, but can kind of be an obstacle too.
the nip ones let me have a comfortable thumb on the E string all the way down the neck without ever going too far or going out of reach
I don't think the nips actually like it, it just stuck probably
>>65316073
nigger if you want work done yearly it's time to learn to do it yourself.
>>65316170
>Not really, no. The only people I've ever met who looked for larger necks were players with large hands who developed tendon problems after years of playing small necks for speed. Or people like this guy
then i must be a weirdo i guess. i like how my thumb rests on rounder/C shaped type of necks. my hands are kind of weird, my finger length is basically average, but my hand width is well above average, so maybe that has something to do with it? idk
>>65316262
It's not like he said /gg/ disapproves of kpop...
Kpop is definitely not /gg/ approved.
>>65316262
go make a /gg/ thread on /a/ and go away
>>65316262
but its true
kfags don't actually play guitar they just wear makeup and pretend
>>65316334
We're not talking about rounder/C shaped type of necks, we're talking about baseball bat shapes with heavy shoulders well into the U territory.
>>65316334
Meh, the people with small hands I've met have preferred big necks too. Not wide string spacings, just thick necks. It's not like any neck in existence gets close to literally too big.
>>65316408
ehh. a lot of those kfags are somewhat technically impressive, but they all play lifeless robotic garbage music
>>65308597
pic related, my MIJ nip strat, has a pretty average neck profile. It's the least comfortable for me to play out of all of my electric guitars; not sure why. I much prefer the profile on my G&L tele or my PRS SE 24, both of which are thicker (tho the PRS has a shorter scale).
>>65316053
thicker necks are better for your hands' health, or something. if there isn't enough heft between your thumb & your fingers on your fretting hand, at some point the force you're applying is working against itself. at least, that's the explanation I've heard. but then you have guys like Vai with massive hands playing thin Wizard-esque necks without any apparent injuries, so YMMV.
>>65305104
I like you're truck and guitar
>>65316490
nice strat my man
but i gotta ask
whats with those walls/flooring?
where do you live
>>65316462
the thickest neck i've ever tried was some type of gibson archtop guitar, i don't remember the model, i messed around with it in a store and that thing was almost impossible for me to play. i think it might have been an l-5? not really sure, it was years ago
