have you ever been disappointed at your mid-level RG's inability to make stupid noises, or felt that it had too much wood in the body, or thought that it needed some mediocre built-in distortion well don't worry

"Could you put an iPhone dock in my guitar?" [Guy is obviously pissed as a fart]

Me: I don't see why not.

"Cool" *hangs up*

It's 1:30am here :psyduck:

To be honest with metronomes, tuners, tablature apps and the upcoming mobile editions of Rocksmith I really want a way to mount my phone on my guitar too. In a less dumb way than the Sidekick

I feel like now you need something on the top side of the body to balance out that tin.

Guitarists like tube amps right? Carve out another chunk of wood and mount a vacuum tube like that one korg piano has. It doesn't even have to light up or anything, it just adds tone.

edit: crazy idea, wire it up so it turns on when the selector's at the bridge pickup

nah it needs to light up because how else will you know that it's working to add warmth and positive overtones to your signal?

I did think about putting a light show in there, kind of beyond my wiring abilities though. I'm going to 100% do it on a future build though.

I decided to do full setups on a few of my guitars yesterday because gently caress it, I needed something to do and I kind of, "forgot" to do that the last time I rebuilt two of them. Oh the fun of correcting intonation.

Ibanez Tight-Tune - Awesome. Took about five minutes.
Gibralter - About the same, need a tad more fiddling but done in nearly the same time.
Edge Pro (Two of them) - WHAT THE poo poo IS THIS TRAVESTY!? WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS? WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS 2AM!?

I loving hate those Edge Pro bridges. If I remember right, the reason they don't have locking studs was because they got sued as their previous bridge was pretty much identical to a low-profile Floyd Rose.

Steampunk guitar picks;


$140. Each.

I could see that if the watch movements/gems were real, but gently caress the people that want those enough that someone made that many.

Standard I think. I don't use heavy string gauges so a gibralter plus wouldn't be too much of a problem. Love that tight-tune bridge though.

I sent the guy a facebook message asking him if they were actual picks or just jewellery (they've all got holes in the top like a pendant), he replied "yes you idiot", so I asked him if they were magic and he blocked me. Now I'll never know :(.

Speaking of picks; what's the most you guys have spent on a pick, and what's your favorite?

I once spent twelve bucks on one of these things



But I prefer either Dunlop medium Celluloid or Tortex Jazz III's (.73 for electric, .5 for acoustic). The Papa is a little bit to dark for my taste, meanwhile the Jazz III's are just right in terms of tone, feel, and control; and I just have a shitton of the Celluloid so I usually reach for them when I want a full-sized pick.

i use whatever jazz IIIs I have on hand, which is usually the max grip ones now, but the black ones are also acceptable, and I want to try the JP signature picks but amazon does not carry them yet
