muike posted:dude i love V2s, they even come in my favorite gibson finishes, silverburst and goldburst It does feel really great, I love the wacky design with the beveled edges. It was a really impractical first guitar though especially with the horribly placed jack that ruins it for playing seated. Not that it stopped me, I just got so used to that awkward v between the legs move that it was strange to me to use a normal body shape.

Perhaps I'm a horrible person but I want that blue paint job off the Jem. Want. Although I think the pickguard is a little goofy, and think an ebony fingerboard would be just awesome.

Snowy posted:Speaking of natural finishes, just got this back from a setup after years in storage. It's my first guitar from when I was 15 or so, about 1986. I think it was about $350. For a while I regretted not getting something more stripped down hardcore/punk looking instead of this thing that looks like you should be doing coke off of it. I love those goofy looking pickups, how do they sound? I almost brought a set once just to see how they were made, but anything with 'Gibson' on it costs x3 as much as it should especially if it's 'vintage', so I didn't bother. pointlessone posted:It's a flamethrower, in a god drat trumpet.

comes along bort posted:so what's the co2 cartridge for, turning the tuning slide into a projectile? I played trombone and trumpet players were always jealous of the fact that we had a one shot brass rod launcher, as well as reusable 3 foot long spit dispenser. The flutists in front of us knew their place. A built in flame thrower would go far towards leveling the playing field among goofy brass instruments. (Also some fat kid who was next to me shot his slide off gloriously in the middle of a concert)

Someone made the point that a lot of the function of the guitar's body is to distribute the weight so it isn't neck-heavy. How heavy is that freaking headstocK?

I almost brought a set once just to see how they were made, but anything with 'Gibson' on it costs x3 as much as it should especially if it's 'vintage', so I didn't bother. I'm not the best judge since I never had a lot of experience with other guitars and most of what I ever used it for was downtuned crusty hardcore. People have compared it to a hot tele or just think it sounds weak since a v should have humbuckers. I don't know if buying the pickups would be worth it since they are epoxy potted and may be impossible to dissect. Here's what I've found about them: quote:Inside the V-shaped black plastic pickup cover are two separate single coils. These appear to be wired in series and out-of-phase for noise immunity. Each coil is assembled with a clear plastic bobbin containing a bar magnet. Both bobbins are taped to a base plate. This plate appears to be a soft, stamped metal in the shape of the bottom end of a hockey stick. Potting may also have been required to hold the bobbins against the top of the pickup cover because the base plate does not allow for screw attachments.

I don't understand why it needs 3 strings per course. It looks like there's 2 strings the same diameter. Also the amp you would need to reproduce all those notes must be absurd.

HollisBrown posted:I don't understand why it needs 3 strings per course. I think it's so that the higher notes are actually audible? I've heard Greg Lake play an eight-string in that style, and you don't hear the higher note so much as a trebly clank on the attack. The only time I can think of that I've heard a twelve-string is the beginning of "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam.
