If you think it's a good representation of the way you wish to present yourself to the SA GBS then that's your choice.
I like Freddie Mercury because I like the band, "Queen," and I think his vocals and artistry are amazing.
But you (and others) love to hate on me for Vai and that's ok.

Personally, I'd rather celebrate Mercury; and love on many guitars; but this thread is about hate and putting people down, because it's a hate thread first and foremost.

Bunky.

I'm really pleased with my purchases and I love all my guitars. So you can be part of the hate, and you can be proud of it. In the meantime I just love my instruments, and what you and the rest of you means nothing to me.

When you look at the actual fans of guitars, they're popular (to say the least).

I hope this helps, but I lost hope for persuading any of you long ago.

GTFO

It looks a bit sloppy, but as long as the action is fine, then don't worry about it. This is actually pretty common in stratocaster type guitars, the pickguard just go under the gap.

thank you and godspeed. it's one of these goofy esps just for clarification. it plays fine

This is closer to the truth. I admit that I am an alcoholic, and an old; but I am not a racist nor am I vomit-flecked. If anyone should gently caress off, it's people who can't read opposing viewpoints in a hate-thread without name-calling.

Or it's a billion times worse being a "guitar-player" who can't "play" a "guitar" but doles out aesthetic justice in a hate thread that literally was a call-out thread from the old XBox One thread that quoted my guitar five times on the first page.

While you're at it, be a man/woman/xhe and post a clip, yourself.

I'd love to hear you play. Don't consider it a challenge, but more of a barrier to entry of having a valid opinion.

Peace and love, peace and love.

this is literally a "laugh at silly guitars" thread, not a "post your music so dr faustus can determine if youre worthy to talk about guitars." go take a walk outside or something, jeez

Also, look at page one. It's not a "laugh at silly guitars thread." Many posters have shown love for Ibanez, Seafoam/Surf Green, but there's an anomoly on Page 1 that maybe I got but you're too loving dense to figure out?

The 'ethics' thing weirds me out a bit too, the guy I know who buys all these is pretty open about telling people about his fake-rear end guitars though, so it doesn't bother me too much, a couple of them are REALLY good fakes though.

i think the ethics of it all is that someone could buy a convincing fake for a couple hundos and sell it on craigslist as a legit gibson and make bank.

I'm not feeling the brass knuckle inlay. But other than that it looks cool.

I want one of these:

SG Baritone



I'd probably put a big red killswitch on it, play it in standard tuning and call it a Buckethead SG.


edit: Buckethead signature Les Paul for reference:



I still regret not buying one of those.

Hey man, don't bother with these jerks, they're just yanking your chain.

I made a post earlier, I would like the benefit of your guitar knowledge!

I'm trying to learn guitar, you are the only person I've found in this forum who knows what they're doing.

I would like to know what guitar to start out with, if possible a really cool one like that medieval one you posted earlier.

hey dummy, dont ask that dude anything about guitars unless you want a hot pink ibanez steve vai fart machine. there are so many people in this thread (me included) that could give you decent advice on where to start.

I'll be honest I am not a complete newbie to guitars, I have an old nylon-string classical but can only play a few chords on it. I would like to be able to shred crazy poo poo like you guys, but I can't spend a ton of money right now. Basically just looking for a solid starter electric.

And no I'm not trolling, you people are way too paranoid. :rolleyes:

cmon dude. there are people here that will legitimately give you advice. dont come crawling back here when you end up with a guitar with too many necks and too many handles. ps: the ideal number of handles is zero

This is the nylon-string classical I've had since around 1993 (complete with water damage), where I paid $20 to a weird dude in college for it. It made a good learning guitar but it's always been a real dog to look at. It doesn't have any kind of brand marking that I can find so I assume it's some kind of terrible knock-off.




Believe it or not it sounds ok when it has good strings on.

is the water damage from where the weird dude peed on you while you were playing it
