Declan MacManus posted:I'd try it before I dismissed it out of hand I mean, the problem statement is correct, that some people hate high-gloss necks because they do the stick-and-slip thing. But those people have plenty of solutions, including sanding off the thick finish, using a rosewood neck, talc, etc. Regardless of how nice this is, it's definitely a highly-engineered solution to a low-tech and minor problem with existing solutions.

Sire Oblivion posted:Beautiful; what's wrong with a simple and elegant design? Tryhard racist buckethead-fanboy gently caress of a pretentiously over-priced over-constructed parlor guitar? I love the shape, but perhaps you are the kind of color-blind that is blind to the fact that everything is creamy white-chocolate colored?

Certainly I was exaggerating earlier, but...comes along bort posted:looks like it was made with a 3d printer ... sums up my true sentiment. I guess the acoustic / classical world doesn't go as bananas as the electrics, and this instrument takes it as far from the norm without losing its identity as a "parlor acoustic." I get that brown-on-brown can get dull, but it's funny how off-putting the variations can be (especially in the Brett Michaels direction). To me, at least.

This is what this thread was made for, god this is ugly as gently caress. Even better, I want to see this model after just a month or so of actual stage use.

empty baggie posted:I have one of those that hasn't been modded all to hell (e. ha! literally). It's a Casio SK-1. Got it when I was like 6 years old (I'm pushing 35) and it still works. Holy loving madeline. I so vividly remember the pre-programmed test song on that, and exactly how it sounds with burp, fart, and other "hilarious" sample sounds. Song is now stuck in my head -- does it have a name/artist so I can buy it??

Bonzo posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2qx46rAOkw Aw hell yisss. Thanks for this video. Was "dog bark" a standard sample? I ask because I have a very specific memory of the exact same experience you described. Seriously, thanks, this is like a trip through memories I have no reason to care about.

strangemusic posted:I hope this thread doesn't crucify me, but Les Pauls have never been appealing to me whatsoever. At ALL. I have the 70's version and it's my favorite Gibson ever made and the only Les Paul I own. Also maybe my favorite electric guitar ever made, maybe. That said, I hate how it looks with that Bigsby bolted on it. I have no clue why they did that on what looks like a fairly nice homage.

White Dog Eggs posted:I missed this.... Are you saying the frets are glued in? Thats.... Not likely applicable, but I make classical guitars and I use either cyano or epoxy to seat my frets. I cut the slots exactly the size of the wire, and file off most of the tang, so the fret doesn't require crazy hammering or high-pressure pressing to seat properly. I've never understood guys who actually hammer the frets past the 12th on a classical build - it seems way insane to me, but I'm no expert.

I missed this thread for a while, and everyone started saying "relicing." For 3-4 pages of reading I was just nodding along, thinking we were adding lice again. I am a dim man.

Dr. Faustus posted:Nah, it was just perfect timing. It was the last hour of my shift at work and I was just staring at GBS looking for something funny to happen (lol). I finished the GoTJ thread (that's how bored I was) and saw this thread back on the first page. I checked the last page and wouldn't you know it, there it was. It was too tempting. I'm still butthurt about how you tried to hurt my feelings early in this thread. Can you post noodling solos on tindeck or soundcloud that might soothe my weary mind???

No lie I saw this yesterday and considered posting to this thread, but then I didn't. I wrote this story myself. Might be worth posting all the close-up images, to clarify that this mess also have many rocks glued to it.
