Dr. Faustus posted:lol Nope. I actually feel kind of bad for calling you autistic though, mostly because that implies you can't help it. You are just an insufferable smug-lord, I make guitars and you pretty much just implied that you know better than me because you own some lovely superstrats ffs. By the authority vested in me by myself, I hereby crown you King of the Thread. Now you can die happy. Better?

axolotl farmer posted:really looking forward to the white dog eggs build. Probably won't be able to start it for a couple weeks at the earliest. Also chances are I won't be able to find a surfboard so I'll just glue some pallet-wood together and cut it to shape. No idea what I'm going to do with the thing once it's built though....

comes along bort posted:lol bitching about cheap guitars when you fetishize ibanezes i.e. rebranded corts True shameful story, I once tried to trade a guitar (any guitar, doesn't matter) for an Ibanez Gio. The store owner was so dumbfounded that he was literally walking me through all the features of the Gio trying to oversell it, and acting like he already owned my guitar. Luckily I came to my loving senses and left with my guitar... dodged a bullet there. To illustrate, I was about to trade this:  For this:  Maybe they're both ugly, but the Gio is just embarassing.

You can get a closer look at that monstrosity here around the 12 minute mark - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raxhgWqS2eU  With an equally hideous case, of course. Blackmachines are my favourite guitars

man thats gross posted:also literally all of your points can be addressed by googling the name on the loving headstock Ibanez took everything that was wrong with the Strat and fixed it. As far as Samick and Cort doing a lot of the work of building overseas, that's fine if their instruments stand up to the brand name, but my original JEM77FP and my original RG770DX and my USA Custom Exotic Wood are made in Japan or in the USA, out of premium woods and to the highest standards. My new RG471AH and JEM7VSFG are making me smile every day. I built my Strat-style out of a Warmouth body and a Shechter neck. I'm happy already. I wouldn't put a dime into a Godin, I've seen them lining the walls of every lovely non-brand music store in the state and I've played them. They've all been overpriced trash. I'd buy a G&L or a Charvel or build something instead and be happy to call myself a "brainless brand-whore consumerist dickhole" before I'd have a Godin in my collection.

those green knobs are like a five second replacement so no big i have an uggo gold strat too, it's not that bad but i did spraypaint it myself so it's pretty goddamn tacky  it could probably stand to be uglier though, since this is my beater/project guitar, thing was $70 new any suggestions?

I just hope you mutter under your breath, with every scrape of the rasp, with every cut of the saw, with every fret you put in, with every solder joint, that you're saying; "THIS will show Faustus. THIS will make him my bitch. With every component I spit at theeeeee!" Can't wait to see it. Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Jan 4, 2014 |
