That is about the most hideous thing posted in this topic. Why would you make a bad looking 12 string and then encapsulate it in a hippy pill/suppository

I don't know the reason, but it's definitely a shared reason among all three.

More horrible guitars! More reasons to hate steampunk, there are so many things wrong with with guitar that I don't know where to start;  Some guy who now runs a guitar museum tried to build a guitar when he was 13; quote:in 1969 I've build my first (and last..) electric guitar. It was build of several layers of carton-wood, with a poplar body. The arm was made of (real tough-) oak.  Weird Czech 60's atrocity, if you get bored of playing you can use the built-in amplifier to pick up AM radio.  Aluminium guitar from the Ukraine, apparently made in a car factory.

 I need this 9 string guitar so I can play metal using just the two lowest strings, 5th fret and below only. edit: hey look an even uglier, even stringier guitar.  13 count em 13 strings.

I just listened to Quantum Whatever and honestly, it wasn't THAT bad for it's genre. I've played with a LOT of spergy guitarists over the years, and while he DOES appear to be largely insufferable (I've never worked/played with/met him in person), as a guitarist he's... OK. What I actually thought was genuinely interesting was the "Early Rush"/"Tony Levin" feel of his bass playing. Very clean and bright with a measured staccatto like Levin with all the chord arpeggio breakdowns of early Rush. Dr. Faustus, your soloing seems choppy and broken, where it almost seems like you're taking breaths in the solos. Those breaks feel unnatural and really jarring in the context of the fluidity of the rest of the song. This isn't "FLAME ON" or anything like that, but simple honest opinion. I honestly think that in the right band, you could be an excellent bassist (again following the Quantum Eh genre), but your guitar work needs to find a little more of an organic, fluid feel. This post is 100% non-sarcastic, for the record.

I noticed Rush vibes on the bass playing too and then I had a dream about a more interesting song because I fell asleep out of boredom. I had a long conversation with a guitarist friend of mine about guitar wanking and he said "but you like jazz" and I said, "yeah but not smooth jazz weather channel poo poo" which I think a lot of noodley guitar god steve satch crap is comparable to. Challenge me as a music lover, not bore me to death with your quilted maple octo neck guitar and noddle-doodle ego cock stroking. edit: except those guitars with the handles carved into the body. they are great for when you need to carry a bunch of them at the same time, because in order to get maximum tone, you need at least 5 copies of the same guitar.

iostream.h posted:Is it specifically quilted maple that you hate or is it any of the figured tops? I'm genuinely curious because I see people say this from time to time. I'm not a fan of quilted tops - like the quilted maple top on the Schecter C+ I had - it was otherwise a great guitar, but I traded it away with some other gear to get an early '90's Paul Reed Smith when the opportunity arose.

iostream.h posted:Is it specifically quilted maple that you hate or is it any of the figured tops? I'm genuinely curious because I see people say this from time to time.  WARNING, GUITAR SPERG The main reason I hate quilted maple is because it's horrible stuff to work with. It's brittle, warps if you look at it funny, doesn't take a finish very well (hard to get a non-patchy finish because it drinks the varnish/dyes at different rates) so it's twice as much work to get a nice finish compared to most woods and it's very expensive to get decent examples over a certain thickness because the nice examples are used for veneer. IMO as a look it's kind of... Overdone I guess? I prefer spalted wood personally. It can also be a sign of an over-priced guitar, in the last few years guitar manufactures have been putting paper-thin quilted maple veneers over naff looking wood bodies (usually alder, basswood or poplar) and over-charging like gently caress. This picture posted earlier shows exactly what I mean, notice how the sides are a solid colour? It's so you don't notice that it's a veneer
