i think they look alright. i have a jackson flying v, although i prefer the Dinky style ones but this was free, anyway, if you usually play sitting down, the v's really really suck. if you want a cool "metal" guitar style then get one with the Explorer style IMO

Salt Fish posted:

Flying V is a great guitar. Light, sits super comfortably with a strap, sounds good. Get one and play it standing up because thats how you should practice anyway.


said it last page but bears repeating this isn't the serious ownage guitar thread. direct all discussion of the jackson king v, rhoades, dinky, soloist, warrior, kelly, ibanez xiphos, bc rich warbeast, dean ml, and associated guitars to the appropriate place

Nope. Some are reliced to match specific instruments, but you can order relicing on anything from the Custom Shop, and if you think it's not for fake cred then I've got bad news for you.

Also every Dean guitar is hideous. Who thought it was a good idea to make a headstock that is nearly the same size as the guitar body?

it works with the ml and Vs but yeah it's a little too big for any other instrument. they also have a dumb bc rich looking inline headstock

http://www.fender.com/features/fender-wines/


Subjected to only the most particular of soil and climate conditions, harvested and filtered to discerning specifications, and stored exclusively in 40% new French Oak barrels. FenderŪ wines are produced with the same attentiveness and consistency as each of our historic instruments. Grown on hillsides throughout the Sonoma region of California, this 2012 vintage produced a collection of ripe, juicy wines that speak to the level of quality, prestige and character for which Fender instruments are known. Like our classic guitars and the sonic formulas from which they're born, each of these distinguished wines affirms that some things truly get better with age.

one of the few upsides of the fact gen x/millenials will have on average far less wealth than their parents is nobody's going to be marketing a line of wines to people who buy 7 string universes to match their kikwear pipes

realtalk teles are really versatile and good sounding guitars, great to learn to play electric with and good enough to keep

they fall within with the simpler=better design aesthetic, which is ideologically correct

then again technically so does van halen's frankenstrat


e: sucks fender/charvel don't offer a plain strat with just a bridge humbucker/single volume control without a doofy paint job

i mean you could just get it through allparts and it'd probably cost about the same, but still

The only way wood density won't matter is if you're playing a digital amp. those can make a top of the line les paul and a $50 guitar bought at walmart sound exactly the same. Then you're getting into the elitist $2500 tube stack versus the $450 digital amp debate

yeah it's all gonna be irrelevant in 20 years when there's nothing but axe-fx/kemper/line 6 amps

i saw this steve vai thing vh1 classic played years back and i guess it was the part of the show where he farts around with the whammy bar. anyway he goes on this rant about britney spears for some reason even though it was definitely in the mid-2000s, so past when she was in the public spotlight or anyone normal gave a poo poo about her.

then he ends by undermining his autist spiel by saying she's okay all music is good, but adds that he bets "she can't do this" then makes one last triumphant fart noise with his whammy bar because he a man in his late forties totally showed that chick half his age what's what because she didn't spend her teenage years studiously learning the subtle mechanics of the floyd rose double-locking floating tremolo system

O, and all you 7-string people? Yeah, that was Vai and Ibanez in 1989 when he first released it on an album, Korn was just forming. Look up "Passion and Warfare."

vai only had one made to transcribe the clarinet part on mo n herb's vacation for zappa. he never used it for what the most esteemed hoshino gakki mfg company designed it, just more namby-pamby weedly-wee nonsense. also vai is in large part responsible for foisting devin townsend on the world so gently caress him a million times over for that on top of being a lovely musician

morbid angel were in fact the first to use 7 strings for sick riffs. we should give credit where it's due

srspost the ugliest guitars are strat knockoffs that use different headstocks because fender is somewhat justifiably a total oval office about trade dress infringement

even $3000 boutique corksniffer assholes who market solely to steve vai fans make headstocks that look like mutilated penises

circuits don't make sound when it comes to guitars oscillators have nothing to do wit it

there are specific harmonics that are excited in the waveform givnig it unique character and replicating that isn't as simple as you think!


you can emphasize certain frequency ranges through component choice (which is pretty much the biggest difference between most amps' gain stages), but it's easier to do that in an external box though some people put preamps and poo poo in their guitars
