Dr. Faustus posted:sorry but the jem77fp is the next best thing to the real jem777. If I had 3k to spend on a guitar I'd save a little more and jump on Ormsby's waiting list. Once I learn fretwork though I'll be able to turn most guitars into solid instruments anyway. quote:

ThePutty posted:no really, why don't you try something else rather then buying another jem? maybe you'll like another ibanez much better Nah I understand him on this one - hsh/hss guitars are really versatile so really you can make them do a huge variety of things. If you really like the shape, then why not have a few, heck why not have most of your guitars be that shape? Guitarists having a bunch of guitars in a single shape is common, and something like a jem makes a hell of a lot more sense for doing that than a lot of them. Plus if I remember right he already has a number of other shapes.

As usual, Sleepflower makes sense but Putty is named after his brain substance. E: Putty thinks all my RGs are JEMs. E2: I'm willing to bet Putty thinks it's fine to have a music room full of Strats, Teles, Jaguars, Mustangs, or Les Pauls or SGs, but if you have RG-style Ibanezes you just aren't branching out enough.

I read this thread. In bits and pieces, I read this whole thread. I regret the time I've spent here, except for whoever posted the wangcaster way back when because that was amazing and the eventual promise of a completed goontar (WDE I respect what you do). Here's a mandolin of doubtful aesthetics:

You can probably guess what I typed in for these:   This image is a treasure trove of awful:  And uh, this also showed up:  e: I think I see something resembling a chainsaw in the parts, including up the sides of the neck, and I want to believe that huge steel handle is also attached. It may actually be a chainsaw rather than a bass but hell if I know. Nostalgic Pushead fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Nov 8, 2014 |

The best part about this photo is that it's responsible for getting Joe Perry back his guitar that he pawned for drug money. Perry pawned the guitar when he was super on the rocks and broke and it passed between a lot of owners and he lost track of it, then when he got less spun out and Aerosmith was popular again he tried in vain for years to figure out what had happened to the guitar. Then after a while his buddy picked up a magazine and saw that photo which apparently has the guitar in it. He tried to convince Slash to let him buy it back but he wouldn't sell it to him and Perry thought he was being a dick but then it turned out he just wanted to give it to him for his birthday.

I think that's how they got the guitar tone on this album. http://youtu.be/c-l4LqkQHuk ThePutty posted:i'd probably just sell that guitar now and try to find something a bit broader in what it can play, you'll only grow more and more resentful about it until you get something that suits your personality and music tastes as you get older. preferably, just get something cheap like any of the classic vibe series which are really solid guitars and really broad in what they can handle (metal included if you want that). brand name doesn't mean anything at all or manufacturing location, as long as the guitar itself is quality for the price
