muike posted:i'm just really salt that you got all those vai guitars but not once do you ever show a uv If so, I am old-school King's X so I tune six-strings down to crazy lows instead of playing baritones or seven-strings. I prefer that over extra strings. BTW I only have TWO JEMs and a few more Ibanezes that are not JEMs. I know to some people TWO JEMs = "all those Vai guitars" but RGs don't count, as you already know; because you're muike and you know about stuff like this. If muike hates me, in this "we hate everything guitar that's ugly" thread, then I don't know how to deal with it. Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Oct 30, 2014 |

it is ok to like ugly guitars and no one walks away from the thread going "i'm really steamed about those ugly guitars with acrylic and other stuff that's bad and gross" in fact i quite like ugly guitars and would buy most of the things in this thread if i had the money. i like laughing at the zachary guitars but i also like some of his designs. i just don't post about that because it's not as fun as making fun of a self-obsessed sperglord

and you're completley right because i actually have the ibanez model number logic engrained in my brain and whenever someone complains about it i think they're retarded for not knowing what pickup configuration a 570 has just by reading the gotdang name

I'll say this for that Zachary guy, at least he makes a lot of his own designs rather than churning out endless copies of Strats, Teles, Les Pauls and SGs. Even when he copies one of those body styles he does something distinctive to it.

Dr. Faustus posted:Is it fair to say that actual SOLID-BODY production guitars had straight headstocks? IDK if this is a realpost or not but hasn't pretty much every Gibson ever made had a tilt-back headstock? In fact, didn't pretty much all electric guitars of any stripe have angled headstocks because that's what accoustics had right up until Leo Fender shook things up with the Telecaster and its utilitarian design? Even the Rickenbacker frying pan had an angled headstock.

Schpyder posted:IDK if this is a realpost or not but hasn't pretty much every Gibson ever made had a tilt-back headstock? Yea, this is right. Leo Fender worked out how to make good-sounded electric guitars efficiently (the original tele's were actually made out of pine left over from amplifier cases, the thought they dinged too easy so he switched to ash, which was pretty much regarded as only good for firewood at the time so it was dirt cheap). Telecasters and Stratocasers are great examples of industrial design. There's a reason that the stratocaster is the most copied guitar, it was designed with mass production in mind.

Not sure how many of you are on Gibson's e-mailing list but: http://www2.gibson.com/News-Lifestyle/Features/en-us/The-Secrets-Of-Sustain.aspx Lol! Here's the actual facts: http://liutaiomottola.com/myth/neckJointSustain.htm Turns out bolt on necks transfer more signal than glue ins and through necks are the worst of all (This should be obvious if you actually give it a moment's quiet reflection).

gbs ain't really about hate. it's smart people pretending to dumb people trying to be smart people. most of the humor is emulation of idiots you see around the web and not really taken seriously. you are the one taking it seriously and people only push your buttons because you react to it exactly how they want you to. any reference to you at this point is basically "remember that thing in the thread?" not a personal attack on you (though some is out of frustration that your derails are tiring). it's futile to defend yourself and you are just perpetuating it by swooping in. no one really cares about your guitars and we would have forgotten about them. jfc stop wasting your time and energy on this. life's too loving short

Dr. Faustus posted:"When your putting on a show and playing live, you sometimes sacrifice perfection for showmanship." You've basically got 2 choices, stand like a statue and make sure you hit every note perfectly, or have some fun, engage the crowd, drop a few notes here and there but make sure everyone's having enough fun that no one gives a poo poo. I'll take jumping around and having a good time over being boring any day. And I'll do it all the while playing my gaudy gay rainbow geetar (and SOON my GBSuitar).

He builds his own stuff even if he has some goofy rear end philopsophy and business model. He is a million times better than bluesdad icon Scott Grove who just grates after watching 2 minutes of his 50 minute plus diatribes.

iostream.h posted:This is absolute truth. People like to poo poo on Stryper (except Metallica, they really like Stryper) but one thing I will say about them is that their guitarist can really shred and put on a good show while managing to not drop a note. He's probably metal's least appreciated guitarist ever. This is the one thing I feel really separates the really surgical precision school of Japanese metal guitarists from their American cousins, they have such robot like finger control they can really tear it up and seem to not miss or drop anything when they do. I mentioned Hide in this thread before and his ability to look totally relaxed and almost bored while banging out some insanely complex work, but also the guitarists for Galneryus and Sigh. As opposed to the more European and American style like this: http://youtu.be/XHzDyvFD-vo where it looks good and those guys are grooving hard, but they drop stuff pretty consistently and the rhythm guitar speeds up and slows down a few times where it shouldn't.

Both guitars have been great and don't have any flaws that I can find, other than how I don't really like the HSS pickup configuration on the Jaguarillo. The Jazzmaster is beautiful and plays like a dream. My friend has a recent American Standard Strat and the fit and finish of my MIM Fenders seems to be about equal.

Sleepflower posted:I've heard completely different things, so it might be hit-and-miss/QC issues. I always heard bad things about Mexican Fenders too, but I ended up with the Jaguarillo as part of a trade and was so impressed by it that I started looking a lot more closely at recent MIMs. When I got the MIM Jazzmaster I had the opportunity to compare it directly to a MIJ Jazzmaster at the guitar shop and it blew it away. The sound was so much better (MIJ Jazzmaster pickups suck imho) and the paint on the MIM is just gorgeous. I'd still want to check out an MIM in person before I bought it, but you'd probably be surprised at how nice they can get.

Yeah apparently Fender and Fernandes also made some but they are heinously rare and expensive. I should really just build one, I have most of a Agile or SX telecaster and some dealextreme humbuckers laying around here somewhere. Getting the neck right might be hard.
