I'm sure I've said this too many times to count but I can never bring myself to understand or approve of the madness that makes a right handed player use a lefty strung reverse unless they're one of those players that wants the ergonomics of a left handed body and plays "left-handed" but are used to the flipped strings like Dick Dale or Elizabeth Cotton, then you get a pass but otherwise if you're right handed and just want to be "like Hendrix" I will hunt you to tends of the earth also buy the guitar luchadornado

I’m putting together a partscaster and have an unfinished, raw maple neck. What kind of finish / oil should I use, if any?

people swear by particular things like tung oil or tru oil, but any wipe on finish will be fine. they're all basically thinned out polyurethane anyway my preference for a finish schedule is 2 coats then lightly buff with 0000 steel wool, repeat, then a final coat. buff that with a piece of denim or a lint-free rag and a drop of paste wax before applying anything, wipe a damp shop towel along the unfinished wood, then sand it with 320 grit paper

Humbly requesting goon zeitgeist recommendations for acoustic guitar hard cases or well-protected gig bags with backpack straps. Schlepping this Road Runner hard case around a convention is giving me a major case of Trogdor Arm. Edit: apparently they make straps that lash around a guitar hard case for like $45-50, do those work well? I don't really gig or travel much to merit spending $200+ for a hard case with integrated straps but those lash straps seem kinda clunky to set up. Toebone posted:I’m putting together a partscaster and have an unfinished, raw maple neck. What kind of finish / oil should I use, if any? I'm doing a partscaster Firebird and used tung oil on the neck. It's amazing how good this stuff is. Sand the neck to 220, blow away dust, rub on a juicy dose of tung oil (the kind Minwax sells is fine, not the 100% pure kind that takes weeks to dry) with a clean old T-shirt or undershirt. Wait 10 minutes, buff the excess oil with a clean old T-shirt. Come back after 24 hours, apply another juicy dose but use 600 grit sandpaper this time. Buff again after 10 minutes. Come back after another 24 hours and if you like the look and feel, you're done. If you want glossier, repeat with 600 grit another time or again.

Schlepping this Road Runner hard case around a convention is giving me a major case of Trogdor Arm. it all depends on what you mean by "well protected" -- if you need your guitar to survive crushing, you need some kind of hard case, so get the backpack straps for the case you already have IMO but if you just need the guitar to stay dry, then use a gig bag, because they can be much lighter and easier to walk around with. lot of them have padding to absorb minor bumps. i dont have any specific recommendations -- i use the gig bag that came with my yamaha guitar

Go with any oil you fancy that's approved for guitar necks imo. Oil finished necks feel incredible. On the topic of wipe on finishes, I'm thinking of using renaissance wax on my all oil-finish guitar. I really like how it looks in some pictures I've seen. Not sure about doing the neck or not until I can see how it feels on my hand though.

I built a Tele kit over the New Year and used a few coats of Danish oil on the maple neck. I used 400 grit wet/dry when applying the 2nd and 3rd coats of oil to it. The neck feels great. I considered doing a couple of coats of wipe-on poly but decided to just stick with the cured Danish oil for now.

Well I got mine back and immediately broke the volume pot taking the knob off to check the shaft length, which whatever I was replacing it anyway but ughhh. Although once my parts come in I'm done modifying it for a while. The soldering inside is some of the worst I've seen in a while so I'm more than happy to un-gently caress the wiring for good. I wish I could paint worth a drat, it'd be fun to throw some designs on the body.

I am here once again with some guitar riffs. Best of the year 2000! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaUljM5Qs68 Learned a few important lessons with this one: * Do all your automation once everything is recorded and edited, because boy does Logic piss me off when I have to move anything around * Don't wear what I was wearing if you're gonna use a green light * Trim your goddamn beard, geez * Don't tell your wife it's fine that she's too high to let her hold a camera and then let her hold a camera

Armacham posted:It's a stylistic choice She said it makes her more creative. So maybe! Only pain in the rear end it creates for me is when I go to edit the videos for TikTok (vertical) and I have to nudge everything into place manually instead of all of the "action" being mostly centered. But whatever, free labor and she supports all of my dumb hobby bullshit 100%. Not to brag, but she's constantly telling me to buy a new guitar so I don't have to keep loving around with lovely detuning plugins but I won't because I'm a chronic minimalist and even though I desperately want one I can't seem to bring myself to pull the trigger. Would love to have my pink dude in C standard though since it's already multiscale. e: I did demo a Digitech Drop pedal and it was really good but not any better than my software when doing blind a/b testing  . That and I couldn't really find a use for the harmonizing section and the pedal didn't really imitate an actual whammy bar very well so ... just wasn't for me. I would absolutely recommend to anyone playing live though.

Guitar-learning-stuff-rambling-post incoming. Someone on the guitar discord linked to a Tomo Fujita video about learning triads with three different practice exercises. I've "learned" about triads before a couple times, but it never quite stuck or turned into something I felt I could use. But I think this time it finally clicked. It had me thinking about what's different about learning triads this time from the other times. I think one thing is the video itself, he wraps up the video with a couple quick examples of how it can start to turn from an exercise into music. He's just going from C to F, but it does start to sound like music, and that got me excited to try that out. But aside from just the video, I've also gotten much better at fretboard knowledge since the last time I studied triads, I think due to all the work I've been doing reading dot-notation scores for classical guitar. I can almost pin down every note on the fretboard without thinking about it. So when it's time to jump up the string from the G to the C in the exercises, I can do that much more easily, without having to think about that in addition to the new triad stuff I'm trying to learn. I'm also able to recognize what inversion I'm playing for the same reason. Since then I've also got a better handle on CAGED and how that relates to scales and chord shapes, so when I'm laying down the triad shape, I quickly recognize "oh this is the middle three strings of an E shape so it's *these* three frets" without having to think about it so much or puzzle it out from first principles. Anyway it's just been interesting to realize how all the different things I've been working on separately all work to reinforce each other when I go to focus on some new thing. Like, I didn't learn the notes on the fretboard with the intent of making triads easier, but that's what happened. Really cool feeling to finally have this thing I've tried a few times before finally gel, and recognizing that it's thanks to other stuff I've been working on.
