The Baritone VM JM from Squier comes in Antiqua. Honestly looks like a better idea than other VMJMs have the crappy old bridge:  Kinda wish I had gone with this because my JM isn't seeing much use anymore and I may trade/sell it for something else. e: though you lose the rhythm/lead circuits, which I do use a lot. This also may go with the thread, seeming how people feel about tort, but I was thinking of getting a tort pickguard for my white Tele and if I get a strat I would love this style:

ThePutty posted:is it possible to play slap guitar? He's been doing this a very long time, one of those child prodigy types: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw2cQ94XcgI&t=43s His album Omnidirectional was pretty terrifying to us when we first heard it, in part because we'd never heard anything like it before and also because much of the use of this technique is in unison with the bassist, which sounds very fat. And, yeah, if I could do that I'd post videos of myself doing that on YouTube and you'd be watching it already. Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Nov 17, 2014 |

booshi posted:The Baritone VM JM from Squier comes in Antiqua. I have one of these. It's OK, starting to think I would have got more use out of a Bass VI tuned up to B but we'll see. I do love the extra clarity you get from the low end but I'm so used to JMs these days I don't know how to cope without a trem bar, keep making spazzy motions after I hit chords where I'd usually shimmer (so all of them). The finish is just too, too sexy in person though. Considering getting it routed for a trem tailpiece but I've spent my stupid music poo poo budget for the month already. Incidentally means I will have pics very very relevant to the thread coming up shortly... No dickholes alas.

It's not that hard to learn because there are a million easy to follow diagrams for most things out there. The hard part is finding room for all the switches an wiring in the body and cutting the pickguard for them.

Thanks for all yer kind words on my ill-advised teenage lefthanded Hohner guitar conversion guys. Although I have to say, I did not learn my lesson from it; the next guitar I owned after that was: A right handed guitar... a right handed, *Hohner* guitar. A right handed Hohner guitar, that I did hosed-up things to, to try and make it left-handed.

I ended up making a mobile out of them and hanging them from the ceiling, where they were abandoned. Hohner did make a pretty decent Les Paul style guitar, the L59, which came in a left handed version and is a very decent guitar once you rip out the electronics and replace it with knobs that turn in the right direction. It annoys the hell out of me that some guitar companies think the knobs should turn in the opposite direction on left handed guitars.

I can rustle up a couple of pics probably, sure. It wasn't done quite as impetuously (read: amusingly) as that first one but it was still a bit WTF. Actuary X posted:As a left-handed player I sympathize. My first four or maybe six guitars were bought from Salvation Army stores for no more than $10 and re-strung lefty, including a Les Paul style guitar, which does not work well as a lefty at all. gently caress, single cutaway guitars (obv!) are the worst looking things to string upside down. I don't think I've ever seen any lefties do this. If they were the only option for me at the time, I'd definitely have got out the saw again.

Making left-handed guitars is the easiest thing, you just flip the template around, no idea why some builders poo poo their pants over making them. I once flipped a template around by accident on a single-cutaway body.  I'll get around to finishing it one day I left the goontar template out in the rain like an idiot and now I have to make a new one  . MDF doesn't like getting wet.

ThePutty posted:you couldn't vigorously document the goontar from start to finish could you? like a 'how to build a guitar' manual or something gently caress it, why not. I am poo poo at taking pictures of stuff so I should probably get used to doing it (I've actually documented a few of my more expensive builds but lost all the files in a hard drive crash, should probably email the owners to see if they still have any copies). Can anyone remember what pickups I was going to use? I've got lots of lovely single-coil pickups so unless anyone has an objections, I might get creative with them... GBScaster news: The artist who was going to do the decal is now not replying to my messages. Last time we spoke the 23rd was mentioned, so fingers crossed. If it doesn't transpire I'll see if I can whip something up or get someone else to do something similar.

e:^^^^^^^^ That reminds me I was working on a "so you want to build pedals" writeup that I never got around to finishing. Grad school. Actuary X posted:It annoys the hell out of me that some guitar companies think the knobs should turn in the opposite direction on left handed guitars. I bet they're just too cheap to buy reverse pots, so you get standard pots for a righty, which would be "backwards" for lefties.

My Hohner LP was reversed (I ripped out all the wiring and redid it). I have a Pedulla that is not only reversed, but the (active) electronics are covered in some goo so have to replace them all the change them.
