maybe it's not that gibson employees are lazy or incompetent or underpaid and overworked maybe it's a worldwide conspiracy by every other guitar manufacturer to buy up all the maple stock with consistent grain through the entire piece

So I'm making some Boss HM-2 clones and my friend who designed the boards used a PCB service called DirtyPCB. They just told me my boards have shipped and I should expect a 1-8 week window for arrival. Lol.

I actually like the way the paint looks and if it was given a good clearcoat and sanded nice and smooth so it wasn't weird and lumpy I'd be into it. But the fact that he left the pickups on makes me wonder what other precautions he didn't take ("all of them" seems like a decent bet) so I suspect if you bought that guitar you'd end up having to replace everything, possibly even the neck.

What was that guitar that had the special pick-ups and knob set-up that would "tune" your guitar via computer repitching the individual strings? Would it be possible to rip the hardware out of that and put it into another guitar? I almost want that in my Steinberger.

Are you thinking of one or other of the line 6 variax guitars?

Concatenation posted:Are you thinking of one or other of the line 6 variax guitars? I literally have no idea, I just remember some years ago there was a guitar that had a built-in computer that would repitch all of the strings perfectly including the intonation and it also had the ability to save tunings. I ask because I recently started playing Rocksmith again and a lot of the content I own in it is it various other tunings and retuning all of the time sucks, locking the trem solves any problems I'd have with that thing crapping out, but I tuned down to D Standard and my light gauge strings are floppier than spent dick and it's miserable to play.

Obviously you'd want the Auto-Tune Guitar. PS I purposely put the official website that is stating its end of support for a guitar. But you're probably thinking of the Line6 Variax stuff, which I've only heard of Adrian Belew putting the guts of one into his signature Parker Fly guitar.

I loathed the AT-200. At low volumes you'll still hear the actual pitch of the guitar while the output is tuned. It's the kind of thing that I almost wish you could split the signals from to make really hosed up microtonal noises with but otherwise for learning throws you off.

It always weirds me out using a pitchshifter at low volumes, being able to hear the strings be in E when the output is a semitone down or whatever is just distracting as hell. On a roughly related note when bands have a whole bunch of disparate different tunings on one album used to bug me, 16 year old me was especially miffed by the first 3 songs on the first CKY album being in Eb standard, then drop D, then E standard. At least I got quick at retuning I guess, though it cost a lot of popped strings.

The AT200 autotune stuff is basically just a piezo midi pickup in the bridge saddles and some software. You can diy that and use it with rocksmith but there's the quick and lovely way that sounds horrible and the expensive way which impacts performance and may require virtual cables or real cables hooked to an audio interface. Can't remember the free software I found that would work but basically anything that turns a midi signal into a passable dry guitar tone. Mic mode on rocksmith will probably work better nowadays, that way you can use VB audio cable to "listen" to the ASIO output final track from a DAW and send it to a virtual recording device set as your primary mic in windows and Rocksmith. Even after all that it won't sound as good as just using a digitech whammy or other high end pitchshifter pedal.

The usual suggestion is to get a Digitech Drop, which as far as I can tell is basically a Whammy minus the expression pedal.

I used to this with my Digitech Whammy and while it worked, I couldn't do anything about anything in any sort of dropped tuning or strange tuning since it couldn't do it on a per-string basis. I'm also big on having all of my guitar fuckery contain in the guitar itself, I sold all of my pedals a while ago because I just hate having all that poo poo laying around when I only used them for certain things, or for some, one track. The Variax line of guitars seem to offer what I'm after but I don't think that poo poo will fit into my Steinberger. It also seems to do everything via the bridge and there's no way of getting that poo poo in the Steinberger either. sigher fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Jan 20, 2018 |

That’s the other part of the at200 that’s seems cool, instant drop tuning. I probably still won’t ever got one unless it’s $100 but it does sound like fun.

Wark Say posted:Just as a heads up, the Digitech Drop DOES work with drop tunings (for example, I use my Drop-D guitar 1 or 2 semi-tones down for when I'm with my cover band). The one downside is that strings need to be properly tuned for consistency, so having a guitar equipped with locking tuners / evertune bridge / locking trem is your best bet. What I mean is that the Digitech Drop won't take my standard guitar to drop-anything because it's just lowering the overall sound and not by individual strings, right? My issues is that down tuning means I have to lock the trem but I love loving with it and losing that feature sucks. Also anything lower than Eb standard tuning and my 9 gauges are just too loose to play comfortably.
