Acquire Currency! posted:realtalk teles are really versatile and good sounding guitars, great to learn to play electric with and good enough to keep I kept mine maybe two weeks. It's a solid guitar and I get their appeal, but they have this kind of toy piano-ness to their sound that you just can't quite get rid of. It works okay for certain songs/genres, but it keeps the guitar from being universal enough for everyday use.

bunky posted:I clicked on all of your links and to be honest, I loved every minute of my exposure to your skills. I'm gonna kinda almost take up for Dr. Faustus, for a second or two. I gave a fair listen to all of his links, and he really does have some respectable skills. He's a good lesson for aspiring guitarists, and that lesson is: There are two types of guitar players. One type is like my old friend Mike. Mike was competent but not great at the instrument. But he was dedicated, reliable, and fun to be around. For over a decade I never performed live or recorded a track without Mike being there, and Mike never missed a mortgage or house payment and he filled that house with all the toys a boy could want. Mike was a team player. The other type of guitar player is the Scarlett O'Hara drama queen that minces around the tour bus pissing and moaning and generally making everybody miserable. Sure they have technical skills, but after three days on the bus you realize you don't care. So you hand them an envelope with bus fair and ditch them at the next truck stop. Years later you see him working at Lowes stocking lumber and bragging about his mad shredding skillz to his twenty year old shift manager. You decide not to say "Hi" because you don't remember his name. It's probably "Dick". So you kids remember that if you want to make a living making music, the person you are is just as important as musician you are. And most importantly, don't be a Dr. Faustus.

Jedrick posted:check out these bad boys Don't be so judgmental. It's the same reason people with autism love trains. They crave familiarity and predictability, and they are upset by change. Trains always follow the tracks, and they find that soothing. If one guitar sounded too different from the other the owner of that collection would fly into a destructive retard strength rage, like you can see in this photo of a startled Steve Vai.

Dr. Faustus posted:every comment aimed in your direction is a direct challenge No one in this thread is challenging you. No one is infuriated. Everyone is just encouraging you to keep embarrassing yourself in your weird and desperate attempt to prove...well, who knows what exactly. It was funny for a couple of days, but it's getting a little depressing now. No one is actually outraged by your collection or how you spend your money. The world isn't out to get you, because you're not that important. And the reason you feel like you're winning is because you're the only one playing whatever game you imagine is being played. Seriously, just relax and have a beer and don't get so wound up over such irrelevant poo poo. You may get weirdly uptight about stuff, but I have a hunch you're probably an okay guy when you aren't tripping over trigger warnings. Give yourself a break for Christs sake.

Dewgy posted:get an ashbory I've only ever played an original from 85/86 and not a re-issue. If you don't mind tuning it every thirty seconds due to surgical tubing strings, it sounds so loving absurdly great. The tuning thing makes it a pain to use in a live show, but the crowds find the deep booming coming from a space Ukelele to be funny.

KiddieGrinder posted:there are several things to consider when deciding whether you should use wood or metal to construct your shelves, and the first is where they are going to go and what they are going to hold. wood can hold a great deal of weight as opposed to it's material weight, but stainless steel can hold even more. stainless steel is also immune to many problems that plagues wood such as rotting and mildewing. These last two problems can be stopped in wood with the use of preventative chemicals that are applied to the product. one thing is certain though, since wood is organic, it will lose strength and integrity as time progresses. It's refreshing to finally have someone in the thread who takes his craft seriously. Recently I installed a couple of "floating" shelves in my home. They're a low grade wood, but they're well covered in a heavy laminate which gives them a clean look, and provides adequate friction to prevent objects from sliding off. The problem is that they aren't sturdy enough to hold all the fat stacks of cash that still roll in from my old record company from time to time. I need something deeper and with more support than a drywall anchor kit can provide. Also maybe some cargo netting mounted beneath to catch the inevitable spillage would be good. Any ideas?

Spanish Manlove posted:Sperging over guitar cables is loving stupid too. Other than the 2K price tag my favorite thing on the Alessandro page is quote:For best performance, use these cables with the arrows pointing the same direction as the signal flow (Instrument --> pedal effects --> amplifier.) It's nice of them to align the cable's atomic structure for optimal signal flow like that. Too bad they don't have a filter for dirty electricity.
