Last thread: >>65556450
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.
Also, friendly side note:
Anyone posting their gear here has made a decision (either consciously or unconsciously) that playing guitar is nothing more than a meaningless hobby, something along the lines of stamp or coin collecting. Their uninformed opinions and amateur advice are firmly rooted in this unserious mindset, music being secondary to the compulsion to accumulate and publicly display their "enviable" possessions.
4chan is considered poison by most mature adults and is rightly shunned publicly for its immature, juvenile, and sometimes vile content. Lorde and the bassist from DIIV immediately spring to mind, both being heavily criticized for posting on 4chan and for their seeming willingness to be connected publicly to /mu/. No one with any real goals or aspirations would risk being contaminated with an association to this website, thus no serious musician would chance being recognized by posting their gear here. The only people who would be willing to subject themselves to this possibility would be the kind of hopeless, self-defeating troglodytes that routinely post on 4chan because they know they don't have any other options and nothing better (or more important) to do with their time. If you're posting on this site then you should be very familiar and thoroughly acquainted with this standard model 4chan user. There's no deliberate or pragmatic pursuit of knowledge or skill in these threads, just inane, unending circle jerking around gear, attention whoring, and fishing for replies.
For example: Aussiefag has been here for well over two years accomplishing absolutely nothing except for *getting some attention for himself*. The sad truth is that he has nothing else, this is his legacy: replying to other losers in /gg/ threads because his life is obviously devoid of any other social interaction.
If your goal is to wind up like this then posting gear here ad nauseum and avoiding actual musical discussion is definitely a good place to start.
Carry on.

hey guys I'm looking into getting my fist electric are there any squire stratocasters that come stock with a good sounding humbucker? i know some people say they are cheap but can be upgraded. is there maybe a special one that has a good pickup to begin with?
>>65574615
pls respond
>>65574615
Upgrading a pickup is the easiest thing you will ever do in your entire life. Also, no.
>>65574186
There's a djent band with 3 bassists and no guitarists. Sounds like poop, as you'd imagine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxSNHOA-gNw
>>65574756
i figured there might be an old discontinued model with a signature pick up in it i could buy cheap? is there no such thing?
>>65574762
sounds memey
>>65574791
When you actually start playing you will find no two people agree on what sounds best. It's much better to choose a pickup you like and install it later on, instead of get a pickup that will be just okay. You're not gonna save money, and you're only gonna save 10 minutes of time.
In any case there's nothing horrible about any stock bucker, cheap doesn't always mean it's going to sound bad.
>>65574873
how can i decide if one sounds good brfore i buy? I'm looking at buying on craigslist to be honest

Check out the Vintage Modified and Classic Vibe Squire line. I'll take high end squire stuff over mexican shit any day.
>>65575045
Not him, but it reduces interference. Take the covers off your guitar. There's foil in there
>>65574916
Honestly, don't worry about it for now. A beginner won't be able to make a decision like that easily. Just try to get a guitar that's sturdy and cheap for now. A beginner even choosing between a humbucker, p90s, and single coils is hard enough. It's good that you're looking for a guitar with more than one kind of pickup in it.
Though, these days you can get a pickup of any type to fit in any space, so I guess it's less of a concern.
>>65575083
I love looking at instrument that has been played by a specific person to the point where the wear pattern has become a signature of sorts.

Pic related. I can't take this guy seriously.
For those of you who are in a band, or even just jamming with your buddies and playing your own shit rather than existing songs, how did you start out composing your own stuff? I've been learning guitar for a while now, and while I can play most of what I want to play, I can't for the life of me come up with something of my own. How do you do it? Where do you begin?
>>65572826
diiv and lorde aren't musicians though, they're products
>>65575432
No, they are not stains. If you are not going for a natural finish you do not need to remove the old finish. You can just paint over it, Fender did this all the time. Taking off a finish is difficult and dangerous, and a lot easier to fuck up badly.
>>65575432

OK can someone please explain to me the benefits of using different string gauges for electric guitar?
I understand 9s are easier for bending, but what benefits do heavier gauges have? Are coated strings better? What's the best affordable brand/set to buy?

tf this dude wearin?
>>65575549
Why is it dangerous? I watched a japanese guy do it with a heat gun and a few hobby knives with relative ease. I probably could just paint over it but my current layer is starting to peel
>>65575686
>what benefits do heavier gauges have
They sound different, some would say better. And if you're going to down-tune, your strings will get floppy as fuck if you don't get heavier gauge strings

>>65576555
Head looks a fair bit warped
I know that heavier strings are harder to bend, but I wonder if you have to bend them less distance to get the same pitch increase? Just out of curiosity.
>>65576555
Same reason everybody gets a les paul.
She didn't know anything about guitars and thought it looked cool.
>>65575509
don't play around on the guitar, you will be stuck in patterns that you know, thinking visually. what you need to do is think melodically, which you can start doing by humming a tune before you play.
maybe you could also try another instrument to break out of a writer's block
other than that, just keep doing it. i'm sure you can come up with SOME kind of melody right now, even if it blows. just keep doing it until it doesn't blow, whether that takes a day or a year
>>65576724
i don't think so. i haven't tried it but i'm just thinking scientifically, i think bending a string is supposed to reduce the length of the part of the string you're picking. so heavier gauges wouldn't affect it, but the length of the neck and body would.
if somebody knows anything about this or has tried it before please correct me if i'm wrong
Why do most guitar courses start with learning chords instead of individual notes?

>>65576555
>those trips
>that Gibson logo that couldn't be mistaken for anything else
>>65576803
Nah, what makes it go up in pitch is the increased tension, the distance is actually getting longer between bridge and fret.
>>65576918
oh true, i guess if you stretch a string out it gets higher in pitch.
so he's right then, you have to bend heavier gauge strings less to get the same note?
>>65575686
Lighter gauges:
>easier to bend
>are thinner and require less pressure so they're easier on your fingers
>easier to do things like barre chords and high-speed shredding
>not as durable
>sound isn't as full/powerful
>can't be downtuned as much
Heavy gauges:
>harder to bend
>require more pressure and are thicker, so they'll fuck your fingers faster
>then again, if you're new then it'll build up those callouses quicker
>have more mass to vibrate, creating richer, more powerful sound
>can be downtuned much more
>more metal in them (in the literal sense) so they take longer to wear out
Coated strings have the benefit of lasting longer due to being more resistant to abrasion and accumulation of dirt, sweat, and finger oil. On the other hand, the coating gives them a slightly different tone when compared to uncoated strings, making them a bit less bright. Though most people can't really tell the difference, so it's not really an issue unless you're a hardcore audiophile. Personally, I think the benefit of extra durability outweighs any change in tone.
>What's the best affordable brand/set to buy?
As a general note, you can't go wrong with brands like Ernie Ball, Dunlop, or Elixir. Not that there aren't other great brands out there, but if you want something good without doing research yourself, just get something from one of those companies. And out of those, the Ernie Ball Slinky series is probably the best all-rounder bang-for-your-buck sort of thing.
Jet City amps any good?
>>65576754
why does she seem to enjoy it so much then?
>>65576754
I didn't know anything about guitars when I began and I thought the LP looked geriatric and generic. So I got an Explorer instead because that one looked way cooler. Best decision I ever made regarding guitars.
>>65576810
The one im doing started with chords then lead up to the 12 bar blues then e major pentatonic scale. Pretty meh course honestly
>>65577022
>gif
>>65576810
Because it's much quicker to get you from zero to playing something if you learn a few basic chords from the start, which helps a lot with motivation. Also, playing chords rather than single notes is a quicker way of training your muscle memory for frets and strings as well as finger strength/dexterity, since you have to do multiple strings at a time. And it gets you to learn root notes without realizing it.
>>65577123
what? it moves
>>65577022
Because she's a retard, obviously. Look at that flailing, holy shit. Not to mention she's playing riffs with the pickup switch on mid.

>>65576985
Wow, thanks man.
I dont play any metal but was thinking about going to 10 gauge strings.
Been using super slinky's for a while now. But heard they were shit from here.
>>65576754
>>65577259
>>65576985
Some other stuff to consider, is that lighter strings have a brighter sound, and more fundamental note. They may be better tonally for high gain stuff to some for this reason. They will also last longer before breaking, contrary to what you might think.
On the other hand, you can get lower action with heavy strings, and a wider dynamic range in terms of volume.
>>65573172

If there's any one brand that stands out for stings it's D'Addario. Simply really high tech shit that results in consistent strings less prone to breakage. They offer every type of string you can imagine. I'm someone who plays my strings to death. I might be a pleb for this, but I dig in hard pretty often. D'Addarios have always lasted me the longest on guitar, and I have never broken a bass string. I have no corrosion on my bass strings over three years, and the wind is tight as hell. Seemingly impervious to grime.
They just kick ass and I need new players to know this. /shill
>>65577388
>I dont play any metal but was thinking about going to 10 gauge strings.
10-46 or 10-48 is a pretty good all-rounder choice. I've tried all sorts of gauges myself when I started playing, from 8s to 13s, and I found that 10s offered the best compromise between tone and ease/comfort of playing.
>Been using super slinky's for a while now. But heard they were shit from here.
It's the internet, lurk long enough and you'll hear that literally anything and everything is shit.
>>65577420
Yeah, maybe I should've said that lighter stings sound brighter, rather than "the sound isn't as full". I just like my tone thick and warm, and bright strings just don't sound right to me. As for the durability, from my experience thinner gauge strings wear out quicker. Maybe it just happened with the several sets of 8s and 9s I've used, but it did seem like a trend.

goodnight sweet prince
just assblasted dreams now....
>>65578063
If the internals are identical, then the only difference will probably be in the build quality of the pedal itself. However, a lot of the time copies also cheap out on the internals, making it sound anything from "not quite as good as the real deal" to absolute horseshit. I think a better route to take if you want some pedal that's too expensive is to look online for schematics of the internals and make one yourself. It doesn't require much knowledge beyond knowing how to solder, and you can build whatever case you want for your pedal, so you'll know it won't break the moment you stomp that fucker.
>>65577607
Heavier strings have greater harmonic content. This may be what you are perceiving as full. Personally, I like a bright tone, but I also like harmonic content, so I use heavy strings with lower output scatter wound pickups, and of course rely on EQ as well. I also use 1 meg pots.

As with any offer on craigslist, there's at least a 50% chance that when you get there you'll get jumped by several crackheads who will beat you with rusty pipes and steal your wallet. And that does seem like a very good offer, so it's either stolen or being sold off for crack money, which increases the probability of the crackhead mugging scenario to about 90%.

You sound like an insufferable cunt yourself. If that's an example of the music he makes then you're intentionally using unqualifiable terms like "fun" and "cool" in an attempt to evade criticism and obscure the amateurishness of what he writes and performs. What you're describing as "random pretentious fuckery" is probably due to your own intellectual limitations. Your inability to comprehend something musically is your own shortcoming, I don't know why you'd try to vilify Berklee musicians for that.
Why do I even bother coming here when I get better answers concerning music and instruments from /pol/ and /fit/.
Never change /mu/
>>65579980
Lemme guess, you're one of them fags who thinks that random jazz wankery is actually superior avant-garde music meant for patrician tastes such as yours, and things like technical death are amateurish and meant for philistine tastes, right?

I could say the same about you, buddy. Like I said, I think you'd fit right in there, if you're not a student yet. I've been there, and I remember the sort of people who both studied and were teaching there.
>>65580265
Now you're just making stuff up in an attempt at damage control after thoroughly embarrassing yourself? That's hilarious.

Dead?
My high E just snapped and now all the other strings have fret buzz. How do I fix this?
>>65581073
change your strings
>>65581084
Isn't it more of an issue with the neck or the bridge?
Should I get a Fender Standard Jazz Bass or an Ibanez Sr500
>>65581111
The high E broke and then it STARTED buzzing. Just think about it.
>>65581111
>>65581194
I'm a Fender slut, so i'm gonna say Fender.
>>65581197
Okay, but wouldn't the string snapping have decreased tension on the neck, causing it to lower or something? I don't know much about this stuff
So my fendo's high e has a very slight buzz on some pickup settings that goes away when i put a finger on it. Is this a grounding issue and how do i fix it? It happens with no other string
a good 5 strings bass with a decent low B that doens't cost too much?
>>65581560
Ibanez Gio basses are actually pretty good. Best bet for a cheap 5 string
>>65581560
>doens't cost too much
This is entirely subjective.

This doesn't look like Frusciantes to me, still looks great though, I bought a 63 Sunburst and a 54 Japanese Reissue because of him.

Speaking of Indo, what happened to Ibanez's premium guitar line in the US? I have an RG870Z, and that shit honestly plays better than my prestige.
What do you guys do when you run out of ideas to finish a song? I'm feeling frustrated, as I feel so close. Spent the last day programming drums, and except for the verse background, I fucking hate them. How the hell do I get over hating my own stuff to improve?
How do you finish what you hate?
:3
>>65583950
Don't make a new thread if the current one is nowhere near the bump limit. Fucking hell, is it that hard?
I plan on retuning my 6505 2x12, but I'm having trouble decision on a good phase inverter tube. I know the sovtek lps is reccomended, but I use a lot of gain and its a combo amp so I know microphics will be an issue. Right now I'm stuck between using a shuguang 12ax7b or an EHX 12ax7. Anyone have any reccomendations?
>>65584203
Retubing*
>>65577582
I really like them too. On my acoustic I always one of their phosphor bronze sets. Just got an intonation set up too so it sounds like those first sun rays that hit your face in the early morning.

I've tried Martin and D'Addario phosphor bronze sets and like the Martins just a little more - just that little bit zingier while still sounding full.
>>65574316
lmao what the fuck is that
>>65577582
They do corrode, get dirty and eventually break. But still the best value you can get out of strings.
>>65577582
I like them too anon

Anyone have any experience with 3rd party Jaguar Pickups? Was looking to upgrade mine but theres not a lot out there other than Fender.
>>65586947
post more dog
Does anybody know if there are vintage style tuners out there that are staggered and would require no drilling in the headstock? I've been looking for a while but haven't found anything
>>65585958
How many dollars would you spend to buy this guitar + amp ?
>>65587140
god fucking damn how much does a bound neck cost
>>65587157
Used, I would be comfortable with 50 bucks, considering its your first guitar.
These bottom end epiphones are good to learn on because they are fairly comfortable to play and lightweight, but you will soon want to move on to something better I would imagine, so dont drop too much cash in to it.
>>65587234
Well my strat cost me $1250 brand new it was a limited edition and there's not that many of them in circulation, so you would have to go through the custom shop to get one, so probably around 5 to 6 grand
>>65587234
Actually, I found one listed on reverb, there's also another version of this in Dakota Red
https://reverb.com/item/1706517-fender-limited-edition-channel-bound-american-standard-stratocaster-2014?_aid=pla&pla=1&gclid=CjwKEAjw7e66BRDhnrizmcGc8VcSJABR6gaRUMjUJCrCb9tbgeZBph8ALNkSs9riiD9eSbZqcq9KiRoCDuLw_wcB
>>65587157
I agree, $50 tops, but I'd offer lower anyway. $40 or $35 is a price you van feel comfortable with that saves you enough for a nice set of strings. Ask the guy if it comes with the cable. I'm sure he has it, but if you ask him then you know he'll actually give it to you.
>>65587271
>>65587390
that's an outrageous price but it's so beautiful.
is there any way i can just get a separate bound neck?
>>65587234
You can get this for around 600 pounds where I live.
>>65587441
Warmoth might make a bound neck for a strat, but I don't think fender sells them on their own
>>65586455
no one?
>>65587488
damn. thanks
>>65587441
I found an unbranded one that looks the exact same as mine
http://www.ebay.com/itm/391453840922
>>65587520
wow thanks man. so this is unfinished right? like it has no gloss or anything?
the thing is i don't actually know anything about putting guitars together, i just figure it can't be too hard
>>65587441
You should really be more specific. The neck posted above is channel bound. Normal bound necks aren't uncommon at all. Even cheap guitars often come with them. My $100 12-string has binding.
Personally, I don't like binding. It's a lot easier to chip than wood, which tends to dent. It makes refrets harder if necessary, and if you get fret growth, the binding can break on its own.
>>65587566
If you want you could lacquer the back of the neck and the headstock but that's purely cosmetic and if you lacquer the back of the neck it could be very sticky. You could also out some fender logos on the headstock if you really wanted. The only differences between that neck and mine is that mine has compound radius and it's channel bound instead of a wrap
>>65587575
sorry, i don't know what channel bound is. what do you mean
>>65587711
When a bound neck is channel bound it just means that instead of the binding being a wrap that goes around the neck, it is the entire neck with a cutout for the fretboard. Notice how in this pic the binding is the neck itself, not a pearloid wrap
>>65587711
Normal binding is a strip of plastic. Channel binding is not really binding at all, it's a neck that's had a channel cut in it for the fretboard to be placed in.
>>65587844
>>65587793
oh i meant channel bound, i think that looks great

Theyre sweet guitars, the best around for the money in my opinion. Although I am planning on selling my mustang.
The green Jag is Sherwood Green but I finished it myself.

This strat was another that I refinished in nitro
>>65583589
>>65588741
Looks really good, I've been thinking of refinishing one of my squires with metallic purple and putting some p90's in it. I think I'll just do that with a jazzmaster or a Jaguar tho
>>65588870
Cheers, you definitely should, if you're in the UK you can really easily get Nitro in aerosol cans, theyre perfect.
Does anybody think that instrument players would benefit from an entire board for us, or is there just not enough of us on 4chan? It definitely would be nice imo if we could just have an entire board to discuss our hobby instead of being contained in /gg/
