the most terrible guitar is one that isn't played, idgaf what it looks like if you're loving making music and improving yourself through playing it the second most terrible guitar is whatever that guy in Creed played

Dr. Faustus posted:Of the three working/once working guitarists I know, I have the smallest collection. Nobody really cares how many guitars you own, only how pretentious you are about them. I mean gently caress, I have five sitting behind my couch but i don't pretend that my 1968 gibson falcon amplifier is any more special than a laptop and dsp running an amp modeler - if anything it is far more limited in potential and far more expensive to maintain than if i just sucked it up and bought a JBL box and a programmable modeling head. and seriously, i can count on one hand the number of touring professionals i have encountered that had speakers in those 4x12 cabs stacked behind them. poo poo is set dressing and nothing more, computers do all the hard work and extra guitars are just for changing tunings - those modelers can make a strat sound like a humbucking les paul and you wouldn't know the difference if you didn't see it with your own eyes.

White Dog Eggs posted:I've repaired a fair few Gibsons and the quality control is horrible. I've seen at least 4 guitars worth over £1000 that have fret issues (I have no idea how they put the frets in, but they weren't flat and it looked like they never had any levelling done, the fret buzz was insane), plastic nuts on £600 guitars, super-thick varnish and the inevitable head-stock issues. Actually it is really kind of sad, Agile makes better sounding, better quality Les Paul-alikes than Gibson makes Les Pauls, and they charge loving pennies for them.

Fair Hallion posted:hey thread what's your stance on Airline guitars. Fugly? y/n I would buy them. Of course, the first electric guitar I ever wanted to buy was an epiphone les paul custom in cream with gold hardware and triple humbuckers so I am probably not the person to go to on "good looking guitars." And I still want a fender jaguar in seafoam green.

30 second chunks of 3 bars of something passable as music that then devolve into an uncountable number of bars of atonal noodling in a time signature of π/ϕ

Gerty posted:I'm not going to read this whole thread, but... yeah the wood and internal structures of an electric guitar changes the way the strings vibrate, which changes the signal created by the pickup, which changes the sound when it comes out of the amp. So like the wood type matters, whether it's hollow matters, if it's hollow then the bracing inside matters. I've got a bridge to sell you.

Gerty posted:I'm not into to any of that dumb expensive poo poo, but if you think you can take a pickup out of a strat and put it in an acoustic and it won't change the sound, you are very dumb and wrong. Okay let me give you an analogy. You are standing 10 feet in front of a lit 10kW floodlight on a navy base at high noon. Now light a candle. Did anything change?

Gerty posted:Well yeah, but that wasn't really what I was talking about. I used a more extreme example of an acoustic guitar. The strings on them actually vibrate much differently than a solid body guitar, so if you put a pickup in one it will sound different. Those pickups they make to put in the sound hole are basically the same thing as in an electric guitar, they only sound more like an acoustic guitar when plugged in because the body of the guitar changes the vibration of the strings. Yes but that has jack poo poo to do with the wood. Apart from the thought experiment of comparing a guitar made of balsa to a guitar made of lead, you are not going to hear a difference from the material it is made from. corgski fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Jan 27, 2014 |

Dewgy posted:to be honest it probably does affect qualities of the tone like sustain or how much the strings resonate off each other but the shame of it is you can slap a huge pricetag on something and suddenly "it affects the tone in a nigh imperceptible way to human ears" becomes "it sounds better like this and you know nothing" The differences between a bolt on, set, or through-body neck are several orders of magnitude greater than the differences between particle board and mahogany.
