old thread
>>65865260
Would you buy this as your 1st electric guitar (with amp) for $485 ?
>>65884626
Whoops, forgot to post the guitar
>>65884687
what kind of amp?
>>65884626
>>65884687
>$485
That's not bad if it's a decent amp and you don't need to put a lot of work into the guitar.
To answer your question about authenticity from the last thread (>>65884417);
So long as the serial number isn't lower than 93 (as in MN93#####), it's probably legit. It's not as if MIM Fenders are particularly rare or expensive.
I'd like a new Jazz box, I want a 24.75" scale
I hoped to stay with washburn, maybe an old model but I can't find an ES-175 equivalent
maybe and Ibanez Art Core?
what would /gg recommend?
>>65884850
oh btw I don't buy Gibson or Fender on principle

what a better buy for a first guitar, not worried about price, squier affinity strat or pacifica pac012? thinking about learning to play and just want a solid beginners guitar to practice with. if both of these are dogshit, I wouldn't know so feel free to recommend a different one. thanks
>>65884687
Looks like it has a roland pickup, I wonder if it's routed for a 13 pin connector....
Looks legit, could be a good deal if you're into synth guitar at all.
So I'm using two overdrive pedals and a disortion pedal to get the tone I want on my spider4 15w. A fulltone gt-500, a tube screamer, and an mxr fullbore. The thing is that I get a furious loud screech when I'm not strumming anything. That happened before I fot my fullbore mxr. Someone told me there was a pedal that would help with this, compressor or something? What should I keep in mind in terms of this after I get a new amp like a peavey or a tube screamer?
>>65884850
Price range?
Burny and Eastman make nice ES175 copies.
>>65884966
$650??
$400 second hand?
>>65884954
it's called a noise gate
>>65884916
Spend the extra money for a mexi fender
>>65884980
any you think I could expect to find around $45-$60 used? I don't want to get a lower cost behringer because I had a phaser by them and it was overall just not good, added unwanted fuzz distortion and whatnot.
>>65884916
Go for a Squier Standard Stratocaster or an older Fender MIM (Made In Mexico) Stratocaster.
Anything below that, like the Affinity, "Strat" or Bullet are cheap garbage and aren't worth the money.
>>65884975
Both are a little past your price range. You can get the Eastman Ar371 for around$ 650 second hand if you're patient, which is what I would get.
Otherwise the AFJ95 ibanez is nice too. Washburn has some cool L5 copies but those are 25.5" I think.
>>65884850
artcore or eastman
the yamaha (For exmp) 611 is as good as a fender?
>>65885049
Look at eBay for boss noise gates
But with that many dirt pedals there's always going to be some loud hissing
>>65885049
Behringer is trash, just get a used NS2
>>65885125
>Eastman Ar371
>>65885122
that is really beautiful
maybe sell some things and hold out for one
>>65885519
apart from how do you set the intonation?
Haters gonna hate
>>65885543
Loosen strings, move bridge.
>>65885566
What is there to hate? except the volume being too close as usual to bridge pup.
>>65885566
Dubs confirm shiny and chrome
>>65885519
Yeah they sound better than most 175 copies, really nice acoustic sound because they're lightly built.
>>65885587
Strats with humbuckers or god forbid EMGs are eternally hated here
>>65885566
thats sexy man
>>65885653
EMGs have their place, high output with 0 tone-character. It's perfect for modern metal.
Imagine taking a ACDC tone and adding gain until it was "metal", it would sound awful.
>>65885653
No they're not.
>>65885566
Looks good.
Always had a thing for black Strats with chrome pickguards. I blame Tom Morello.
I'd kinda prefer the regular knobs on that though. I'm still not sure.
>EMGs
I feel that Seymour Duncan has better actives nowadays, lots of players have made the switch to SDs, passives or Laces.

hey /gg/
what's your opinion on Gretsch and on this model in particular?
http://www.thomann.de/gb/gretsch_g2655t_blk_streamliner.htm
>>65884954
You are going to to want to look into a noise suppressor or noise gate. The mxr fullbore pedal should have a noise gate built in.
>>65885939
sometimes it will work and sometimes it won't, I think the two drive pedals really kick it. I did get the fullbore used and aside from the noise get part everything else is working how I wanted it to.
>>65885753
Lace pickups have the highest noise out of them all bruh
>>65884916
yamaha is better. Not dogshit, either.
>>65886333
Never tried tbqh, Alumitones too?
>>65886341
Dunno bout alumitones
Would you pay around 200 usd / 180 eur for a Space Echo? I obviously mean the pedal, Boss RE-20.
New it's like 70 more, guy says it's was used like 3 times (looks new indeed, complete with box, papers, plastics).
I've wanted one but it seems they are always overpriced and haven't found any at a good price on sale lately, sadly.
>>65886675
the only thing that matters is your opinion, if you want it enough to spend the extra bucks then go for it
>>65886675
Sounds like a deal man
Really need to pick up playing guitar again, been lazy these past 2-3 years
>>65887004
>>65887041
thanks.
>>65884916
If you can score a baby taylor for around $300, that's a solid crisp acoustic that will hold you over beginning to end. My father gave me his big baby taylor he never played when I started learning seven years ago and the sound I hear from it encouraged me to play more, out of my five guitars, she's the one who makes me want to sniff my hands when I'm done playing her.
NOW if you think $300 is a bit much, I can recommend the washburn rover for around $150ish, she's small, warm, and comes with the perfect compact case for bringing her around and not worrying about something smashing it or anything, she might be small but she's a good guitar overall and has a large sound.
If you want to be 14 again then there's any ibanez starter electric, their starters compare far better than gibson or fenders electric starters. Them not being acoustic or hollow bodies means you can take it with you and practice anywhere without it being so loud for the local inbred oogles to give a damn and spit on you . A $15 honeytone pocket amp is great for on the go and plugging headphones into with these.
>>65887004
I know what you mean, after my last band broke up in the winter I quit playing but recently got back into it by challenging myself to learn something I thought was beyond me. I surprised myself and it genuinely got me back into playing.
>>65887004
Is that a 52 reissue? The stickers are going to fuck up the nitro finish!
>>65887154
Nah, its a Baja

7/10. Did you record it through your anus?
>>65887221
Is the recording quality really that bad? lmao I thought for once it actually captured the sound of guitar accurately
>>65887244
Way too much buzz for am acoustic but good playing, nice fingerpicking
anyone has this guy?
thinking of getting one for a thick stoner doom sound
>>65887271
thanks, the buzzing is probably my fault. It's a small parlor guitar and the spacing is really tight , kind of hard not to get any buzz.
>>65885753
Tom morello sucks.
>>65887308
i've been interested in buying one for a while but i'm broke. by far most versatile fuzz i know of
was using 009 nickel round strings on my tele and thought they are a little soft loose for me
is pure nickel ones a little harder,how about half round ones?

hey there, because my house has no grounding, it makes any amp unplayable due to noise. i have to use battery powered amps instead.
can you reccommend me a decent acoustic guitar amp with rechargable batteries?
i'm currently considering the Yamaha THR5AH, even though it uses 8 AA batteries, which sounds like a pain in the ass to replace, but whatever.
>>65887661
Why don't you buy a converter plug with a ground?
>>65885049
you're just adding more pedals to get a sound that should come from an amp.
you're going to be using FOUR pedals to get a basic driven amp sound because your amp is so bad.
sell all that shit and buy an amp that sounds better.
>>65887689
the ground in the converter plug needs to be connected to the ground that my house doesn't have.
What would you guys say is a good method to straighten a neck prior to leveling it without a slotted straightedge?
Hi /gg/,
What material/putty should I use to repair this chip on the right headstock horn? Any tips? It's a minor cosmetic damage but it's been bothering me so much lately.
Thanks in advance.
There's a custom built LP copy on craigslist in my area for a hundred bucks. No address/phone number given and the seller claims he has Duncan JBs and Grover tuners in it. The only real difference between it and a real LP is that the headstock says Gibsun. Should I cop it?
>>65887004
STICKERS REEEE
>>65887908
go play it, if there's no neck whip buy it.
>>65887908
post a link, I have a fake Les Paul and it started out as a complete piece of shit, but it was a nice platform to learn guitar repair/modding on.
>>65887821
RIIIIIIP enjoy your epiphone headstock.
Well, there's wood fill/putty, which I guess you could use, just paint black. But it's gonna look like shit. Or you could buy the plate over the headstock, replace it, and the missing bit just fill it with putty/fill, but it's gonna be more work and dunno if you want to go at it.
>>65887408
have you heard it in real life, had a chance to use it?
from what i heard its really versatile yeah, expensive too!
>>65887821
break the other half, that way you'll get some more tonesymetry
Found a 1973 twin reverb for $530. Good deal? It's pretty beat up but sounds great.
>>65887821
is this actual autism?
Help, how do I take this out, I dont have a suction cup
>>65887994
This. Asymmetric headstocks create phase cancellation and brightness. This is why a telecaster will sound more bright and quacky than a les paul.
Generally you don't want to fall anywhere between these two not-shit tones.
>>65888130
Use your mouth as a suction cup.
>>65888130
pocket knife
>>65888157
Tried for keks
>>65888166
Don't wanna ruin finish I don't think it would fit either
>>65888130
unscrew a pot and stick a pen or something through.
>>65887821
Violently smash the shit out of your guitar so it will fit into the theme.
>>65888184
Ok, for real then what I do is use two pins/needles or something small between plate and screwholes (to not damage paint). Other than that if there's something open or that you can open from the other side to push it, that's another option.
>>65888130
Flip the guitar over.....
There was a really nice ornamental pre-war parlor guitar made in Germany for sale at the local flea market for 18 euros, all it would've needed was new set of strings, bridge pins and maybe a new, lowered bridge because I don't play slide so it would just fuck my fingers up.
I didn't have enough money at the time but when I returned with enough monies it was gone.
Cheer me up, /gg/
>>65887945
>>65887947
What do you think? (If you live in the area don't steal it pls)
http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/msg/5650033014.html
>>65888371
All old guitars eventually get enough bridge lift that they become crappy players. Loose bracing is also very common. In short, you didn't miss out on much.
>>65887182
I liked it a lot, didn't think it sounded like it was recorded through your anus either. 9/10
>>65888371
Damn that sucks dude, I've been on the lookout for a really old Parlor guitar ever since I saw this video with Sir Richard Bishop. Every really old example I've found has been unplayable though, I think most of them were meant for Gut strings and people ruin them by using steel strings.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2p5j3EajWI

>>65888397
Seems like a great deal, just be sure to meet in public because it might be stolen or a fake ad. Don't let him ask for any weird payment. There's plenty of not crime related ways a deal like this turns up, but just be safe.
do you get it where you're constantly practiciang the same things

alright /gg/ I just bought a beginner's electric guitar. what is it that I have to focus on in order to play blues rock and be able to jam with a band? my goal is to one day be able to play like Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn or John Mayer but how can I achieve this?
>>65888601
pentatonic scale from the sixth string
if you want to be knock out good learn it from the fifth string as well
then buy a hat and some beads
>>65888601
What's your current level?
>>65888397
Difficult to tell from the small photos but those tuners might be fakes.
>>65888687

Is there even any other brand where the headstock is so brittle ? I've knocked my garbage GIO on so many things and the only thing that broke was the nut (because at the same time I was setting up the trem and it probably had too much tension).
>>65887398
I don't really care about him at all but some of his riffs are cool.
I like his black strat (without the Soul Power lettering) and that's it.
>>65888651

>>65888916
>Do you guys Hang your guitars on the wall?
I keep all my guitars that I have cases for in cases. Otherwise, I keep them in stands.
>>65889130
Kekarooni. This one got headstock first on concrete and no problemo.
>>65889255
>is that it?
for a lot of electric guitar blues there is honestly not much more to it
Hendrix was 'out there' because he would slide octaves
>>65889130
Gibsons are famous for being one breath away from disaster.
They make some beautiful instruments but from a durability standpoint the SG/LP/335 design is a trainwreck.

Oh wow, look at that, mister trippy-faggy was lucky ! passionating

I just find it really surprising absolutely no other brand has that reputation. Hell even BC Rich don't have the reputation of being brittle, and the paint on these edges will chip for sure.

>>65888916
So I filled it in with super glue, painted it with black Japanese ink, and coated it with nail polish. I couldn't get the sides to look smooth because of the brush, but the front part looks surprisingly smooth. The top looks like shit but the side surface looks OK.
I keep my guitar in its hardshell case, if not, I keep it on my stand. I don't trust wall hangers.
>>65888827
Is that you, guy with the cool gibson acoustic from the 60s? At least your chips and wear look nice and authentic. Mine just makes it look like I dropped it like a retard

>>65888916
My guitar sleeps on its bed because I only have one stand, and I can't be assed to put it in and out of the case all the time
>>65890920
I'm happy with it, since it looks so much better than having a missing horn.
I'm sanding it with 8000 grit sandpaper right now to get it as smooth as possible.
>>65891081
Doesn't look bad at all friend
Thoughts on the Neunaber Expanse series? Essentially a stompbox that can house 1 of the 4 Expanse series effects at a time (loadable via USB). I believe the 4 effects are reverb, shimverb, echo and chorus. A bit more expensive then a used Pod, and obviously less versatile, but I have to believe the sound quality would be of much higher quality and the pedals have analog dry through. The Wet Reverb is obviously very well regarded.
Loading the stompboxes via USB seems highly inconvenient but I can't get these out of my head recently
>>65891567

Is the guy who got the Matamp GT40 here? Did you get it fixed? How does it sound? I am extremely jealous. I really want that fuzzy, cranked OR120 sound, but alas, I am poor.
Anyone have suggestions for an inexpensive way to get that sound?
Had to debug a buzz today for a couple hours. Goddamn, it was the humbucker out of phase with itself, which I thought I had fixed once already. Sorry that I still have no neck on the thing. I appreciate all the nice things you guys have said about my guitar, however unfortunately I won't have complete pics until some time this weekend.
>>65893545

>>65894429

>>65894429
Previous owner, man.
>>65894429
whats wrong with that im a noob
>>65894429
It also kinda sucks because the locking nut is the only unoriginal part on that guitar to my knowledge.
>>65894705
Nothing in general but I think the context is he had them added on additionally
>>65889173
looks like a bit of a bendertbh
>>65888916
Currently most are in the cases, but guitars in cases don't get played. I'm in the process of hanging them, but the room I've chosen (away from windows and doors) has some crazy-ass stud pattern I can't figure out. Once I do, though, they're getting hung. Playable art.
>>65887398
what compelled you to type this, do you say out loud everything you dislike?
>>65894479
It's actually an ottoman, but if it isn't being used it's the guitar's designated napping area
>>65894705
There's basically no point to having them since they exist to reduce friction between the nut and the tuners. When you have a locking nut, anything past the nut basically doesn't matter.
Time for another fret leveling adventure, a.k.a. /diy/ propaganda.
In this step, I've already adjusted the neck to be level. I'm now marking the tops of the frets with permanent marker. The template is made of card stock and masking tape.
After some leveling, we can see that there's marker on some parts of some frets, and it's been removed on other parts. We need to keep going until there's a silver line across every fret. Some frets will get filed much more than others. But they will stay level thanks to the machined surface of the carpenter's level.
>>65893061
i can post so many better artists. if you had said "guitarists" it would be a much much shorter list
I've taken the frets down pretty far now, to get them down to the level of this dent, which you can see as the black mark on the one fret. The more you bring the frets down, the harder crowning will be.
hey guys, I'm trying to get into metal and learn how to play metal.
I just finished Metalocalypse and am now trying to learn Bloodrocuted, I also really like Ghost and Galaktikon.
any suggestions on where I should start, both listening and playing?
thanks. :)
>>65894990
Lmfao. I was taking a piss at work. I was going to elaborate, but i didn't. So your reply was funny because i should have. I've always liked RAtM, he makes some unique shit go on with the guitar. I meant it in the sense he tries to be all political and hang out with bruce springsteen and they act all like they're some kind of progressive geniuses. Well, maybe in the 90s RAtM stood for the good side, but now 20 years later, the side they stood for has gone fucking batshit insane. And if he still thinks it's the side to be on, he sucks. They're re-uniting to make an anti-trump album. Ok, whatever. But they gotta realize clinton stands for everything they were against in the 90s. If they don't, they're stupid as fuck. Rage against the machine. THE MACHINE. All of it. Not rage against one guy. Also fucking bruce springsteen? I could play guitar better with my ass when was in 4th grade.
Sorry, didn't mean to go all /pol/ock.
I've finished leveling the frets. If I was rickenbacker, I'd call it a day. Luckily, I'm not, so let's move on to crowning.
As you can see, quite a lot of material was removed. More was removed from the ends than the middle, meaning I didn't do a great job adjusting the neck prior to leveling. Not a big deal, but it means more work.
The next step is to put lines on it, again. This time, we'll be doing the opposite. We'll be trying to file away until there's a thin black tine across the fret. If we get any breaks in that line, we've gone too far.
>>65895828
Maybe dumb question, but im going to ask anyway. When you say level, you mean like 100% flat? So say i were to do that, id adjust it flat, level the frets, crown them.. then string it all up and set up the guitar as usual?

SLEEP AND SABBATH
>>65895971
>Metalocalypse
Lol. That show's great. As for playing, try some metallica stuff. I was never a super fan but when i was younger everyone i knew played their stuff. They have some entry-level metal riffs and slower-ish lead stuff to get you into it. Then you can move onto the speedier solos and shit.
>>65895971
Oh yeah this>>65896303. Sabbath is a great place to start. Sleep is great, too.

Thanks guys, I'll look into it!
What is the low and high input for an amp?
>>65896520
Gives two gain options basically
>>65888916
I keep all my guitars in cases.
>>65895971
Duncan Hill Coffee Jingle is in Drop D. Everything else by Dethklok is in C Standard. Probably start there.
>>65896520
Depends on the amplifier. On a 5150/6505 there's just a 6db input volume difference between the two.
>>65896520
Mine just says 1 and 2
>>65896650
>>65896619
>>65896600
So its a lower volume then?
Sorry for shitty quality, what guitar is James playing here?
Are you faggots alive?

It's an older ESP LTD seven string model. Forget the exact model.
>>65896822
HI bb ;3
>>65896835
It's an ESP LTD H-207. Thanks for the help anyways
>>65896140
Yeah, 100% level along the string. You still have a radius from bass to treble side, but from but to heel it's level.
It's getting really late so I stopped taking pictures. Sorry to not deliver. If you guys ever have questions, ask them in /gg/ and I'll always answer... Just give it some time, I sleep sometimes.
>>65896822
Yes sir.
>>65896822
No.
>>65896822
I'm dead inside
>>65897382
hahaha that stinks
Bounced on my boy's hole to this guitar for hours.
The badge of honor returns.
muhaha
>>65897671
>Bounced on my boy's hole
meaning?
>>65897745
You gotta pay the troll toll to get into this boy's hole

I knew that was coming.

hey /gg/ trying to get better at recognizing intervals by ear. Any courses or book recs on ear training? i was originally doing the song method but from what i read online that can be detrimental down the road so now im trying to just instantly recognize the sounds
>>65898859
GO TO BED
is it a good idea to bow the neck on my guitar forward to get rid of the buzz? I think the nut slot for the low E was cut too deep
>>65898958
Maybe he's a Eurofag
>>65894521
Only signature guitar I'd consider buying, right there
if i could find one that is
> I visit this local guitar store two times now
> got what I want narrowed down to three guitars
> look them all up on Internet when I get home
> narrow it down to one guitar
> mfw I won't be able to return back to the store until next Wednsday due to working two jobs and the guitar store having lazy hours of 9-6
What do I do, should I call them? I would like to have them out it on hold but I need to actually plug it in and play it at the store, but fucking autistic little kids fucking around on pianos fucks up my focus since I get overwhelmed easily
>>65895971
Learn some Burzum and Darkthrone so you'll have the basic black metal shit down
So i'm a classical guitarist. How would people at hipster coffee shops take that? Would they be disinterested if I were to perform?
>>65899623
get a super 'hip' one where people are just trying to fit in, and you'll be received well enough
>>65899623
Not sure, not too many hipsters around these parts.
>>65899565
Don't buy a guitar from a guitar store you massive cuck
>>65899623
I would think it'd work better in non-hipster coffee shops... Or at least, not ones usually filled with youths.
>>65899647
take me with you, i'm in victoria BC, it's as gluten free as it gets.
>>65899726
I'm from the Netherlands, we have our fair share of retards but the hipster% is low.
>>65899340
I lucked out with this one. It's a hard one to find too.
>>65899818
Wish I could see wilco in concert. One of if not my favourite bands, helped me with depression when I was younger.
>>65899685
Then how would he be able to know if it's good if he has never seen it physically?
>>65900514
I think he meant the guy should buy second hand
>>65885934
I love how it looks.
>Desired
what classical guitar should I get?
is there something under 350 thats worth getting over a cheap Yamaha?
I thought gibson solidbodies were expensive but holy shit those archtops.
>>65901323
I don't know much about Yamahas, but I know about yarmulkes; buy something used. Look around on craigslist
Anyone try the 20 watt 6505 mini head by peavey? Considering picking it up for the ballsy gain, hope the cleans aren't too bad either.
Is £140 a good price for a '03 Squier Standard HH Stratocaster?
I kinda want a parlor guitar. Can't find any second hand nearby, the cheapest new one is the gretsch jim dandy at 220 bucks which is a bit more than I'd like to spend. I mean I'd spend 220 on a second hand one that's better than the gretsch rather than go buy new.

I'm a strumming/dreadnought guy but I've been eyeing the Fender PM-2 for a while.
Why are there so few good guitar shapes?
>>65902168
There's only one good guitar shape.
>>65902187
i agree thats my other favorite
i wish that Gibson and Fender were the only ones making their original designs
that way there would be so many different kinds
why is it this way
>>65901323
Not really. New Classical guitars don't start to get good until the $1000 price range.
What Yamaha do you have, some of the older ones like the G250 are really good now that they have aged. Those are pretty affordable if you want to upgrade.
>>65885653
Nope, you're thinking of every other goddamn guitar forum filled with mid-sixty blooze lawyers. In fact, I don't think there's any guitar type that /gg/ universally hates.
I'm looking to get my first electric guitar and amp for about £250, do you think I should increase my price range?
>>65885934
Bigsby can be annoying, but other than that it's pretty fucking cool
>>65902818
Are you completely new or are you coming from classical guitar?
If you're new, just get the Squier Affinity Tele pack, which includes a small practice amp and a "gig bag".
You don't really need an amp until you're good enough to be playing with a band; you could just buy the guitar itself or a more pricey one and learn it acoustically until you feel ready to fork out the cash for an amp.
If you already know how to play, you should increase it to around £300 at the least.
>>65887308
I hated it. Gets too compressed and clippy if you wanna get loud with it. I know us shilled this before but for a nice meaty Stoner/Doom fuzz I go with my Logan Square Destroyer
>>65899619
Taake's better for learning how to play/write BM, more interesting chords. There's some interesting droning ideas in Burzum though (like in Keliohesten or that small bit in A Lost forgotten sad spirit where he drags an octave chromatically while the original note rings out)
Also Inquisition. It's less conventional but there's some great ideas too.
>>65902168
Good would mean it would have some actual fret access. Even playing on the 12th fret looks painful on this.
>>65902213
oh yeah let's make the market super narrow so we don't have any other option, or better quality for a better price. Great idea.
>>65902818
You're not going to get a great setup with £250. My setup cost me around €400 and while I can gig with it, my guitar's seriously shit.
>>65904000
>or better quality for a better price
What's a better, cheaper alternative to a Squier Standard Stratocaster?
>>65902989
>recommending squier over sx
>recommending squier practice amp over marshall
>>65904144
I'm speaking about the high end, not the low end.
Buying a $5k Gibson is stupid when you can contact a local luthier and get pretty much anything you want.
The low end's pretty much all the same chinese shit regardless of the brand.
>>65904144
Nearly every other telecaster sold by anyone that isn't squier
>>65904180
strat*
>>65904180
Those aren't real Telecasters though.
It's like buying a Subaru BRZ and bragging about owning a Subaru when in reality you just have a shit Toyota.
>>65904204
and bragging about owning a current day fender isn't the same, when leo himself had two other companies and has been dead for years ?
>>65904204
There it is. Clearly the only thing you care about is the headstock. If you find a guitar stapled together to have great value if it's built by your favorite corporation, then truly by your standards there is no alternative.
>>65904228
>>65904254
I'm still not seeing any actual names or product recommendations, just Fender bashing.
i'm considering buying an electro-acoustic guitar and a Yamaha THR5A.
what's a good guitar at <500 USD range?
The cringe in Guitar World has become too much to handle.
>>65904273
ESP, Schecter, Ibanez, G&L
>oh no but they have contour/6saddle/another pickup/different name on the headstock !
>>65904273
Well considering it's not possible to recommend a "real" guitar by your standards, what do you expect? Fuck off, nobody wants to subject their favorite brands to your opinion. The expert scrutiny will be too much to bear!
No matter what I recommended it would be dismissed. You're a lost cause.
>>65904329
>>65904370
why are you bad
>>65904411
well actually since its a picture therefore mirrored it was ok
>>65904340
>>65904344
Yeah, just as I thought, there are no other teles in that price range.
>>65904442
>since therefore
stop
>>65903019
Damn that sucks, will look into the square destroyer
>>65904329
why are guitarists so insufferable?
