Dean guitars might be cheating, but take a look at this ukulele: http://www.deanguitars.com/query?upc=814064022768 Also, I love that they have a guitar for those people who can't decide between sg and explorer: http://www.deanguitars.com/subcategory?series=splittail_series

This is a guy who realized that after making it big, you don’t have to stick to the lovely selection for lefties. I don’t know if it’s just a screen, bit the videos I’ve seen of it has videos playing on it.

There should be a line of those called Guitars Behind Bars or something and I swear if any of you makes money off that name I will haunt you even while still alive. That’s called stalking. You better write some good songs to go with it so it seems cute.

Somehow though, I doubt that the best sounds come from like a soft pink or light yellow. It would be cool if the guy owned up to his idiocy and played ugly as gently caress colours for the tone.

Wark Say posted:Only once in a blue moon if you're lefty. Good parenting is normally being supportive of left-handedness, but in the case of musical instruments, just don't. You need to be good with both hands anyways, hand dominance is next to irrelevant, and everything is so much easier if you just go right-handed. I've never heard real complaints from lefties playing righty guitars, but plenty from lefties with lefty guitars. And don't get me started on leftie drummers. That is a pain in changeover.

Spanish Manlove posted:Aside from double kick pedals, what special hardware do you need for a lefty kit? None, you just reverse everything. Which, if you're playing small gigs sharing a kit, makes changovers take way longer than needed. I'm probably being a dork about it though.

Beside being an angry one man about lefties, I remembered my weirdest lefty experience. A guy I played a show with played left-handed guitar, but kept making weird shapes in what sounded like standard metal power chord places. Turns out he learned playing with a right handed guitar, but with his right hand fretting, without restringing it. It worked for him though, it just looked weird, especially in solos...

What's the difference between the two necks, and do you just tap the top one? Because i have no idea how you would reach it. Or do you just play the low F or however it's tuned and nothing else?

And they still hurt to play due to the high tension. Related: are barre chords even a thing with the ridiculous strings mentioned, because my hands are way too weak for that. Maybe it's just because my bass strength doesn't apply to barre chords though.

Wark Say posted:That's the thing about Meshuggah: They do one thing. But they do that one thing extremely well. But the funny thing is that, when they sorta try to step out of the comfort zone and do something more straight-forward rocking, they can do that too. I wonder if a Meshuggah cover album would be terrible or awesome. Like them playing Master of Puppets or Killed by Death and stuff, either straight or djentrified. Dillinger Escape Plan did a couple of straight covers which didn’t really work as I remember though.

s.i.r.e. posted:Do those weird-rear end true temperament frets work with all string gauges and tunings? Isn't the real issue that they don't work with all scales though? Presumably they would work okay with downtuning, but not with open tunings and drop tunings and so on. If course that depends on the adjustment possibilities of the bridge as well. E: fanned fret is just awesome and surprisingly uncomplicated. At least on bass, I haven't tried it on a guitar, and i can't figure out if you can still do barre chords with fanned frets.

Not to mention that Fender is basically the default option for basses, which Yngwie probably didn't influence.

There is probably a sweet overlap of people who have to much money, believe in tone paint and somehow still believe in brexit. Unlike whatever Gibson is doing, Martin at least seem to make business sense. It's still terrible though.

A month ago I saw an Ibanez (I'm pretty sure) that had 30 or so frets, with cutaway all the way up. There was literally no space for a neck pickup, and it looked completely ridiculous. Of course I can't find it again, but does anyone know the thing and have a picture?

Wait, are you telling me that guitar amps are designed not to djent? I mean, using a bass amp to djent makes sense, but for some reason I figured that guitar amps could actually reproduce the lower frequencies. I have had low key wondering about what amps to use for guitars that in most cases will be below standard bass tuning though... And for the record, I assume all of this relates somehow to the fact that a violin is small and loud, while a double bass is huge and quiet (or at least not louder than the violin)?

Presumably, gold could be used as well, given that it's an even better conductor. The biggest instrument retail chain in Denmark went bankrupt last year, and now their stock is being auctioned off. Obviously, there are some good deals to be made, but there's also these Christmas decorations (prices in DKK): https://www.auktionshuset.dk/auction/585/lot/1279/elektrisk-guitar-4-sound-custom-guitar https://www.auktionshuset.dk/auction/585/lot/1263/elektrisk-bas-4-sound-custom-bass

I do like how there's no knobs at all. Actually, I kinda like it in general, except for the car stuff and the presumably ridiculous price. It looks a lot less like a strat than the average superstrat though, so the name is kinda dumb. But yeah, it's definitely marketed to 80's bluesdads...

Wark Say posted:I'd rather spend money on this motherfucker that I know for a fact will take a beating than buy a loving coked-fueled purchase guitar. This looks pretty cool, I would love to try it. I have no clue how non-wood guitars sound and feel, but I imagine they must be light at the very least. Also, are the pedals on the fender thing not just cosmetic? Because either way, I could definitely sell a custom pedalboard made to look like the floor of a car. I guess it would be a wah for the speeder, volume for the break and boost for the clutch?

It's a great starting point for my "nonsense relic" idea that I will totally get around to one day. Just heavy relicing a guitar in a bunch of places where it makes no sense, like heavy wear exclusively on the 18th fret of the A-string, wear from the pick below the knobs and so on.

Turbinosamente posted:I feel the same way about both Dreamtheater and Yngwie Malmsteen. I know they are both musical masters and have a lot of technical skill, but they are both above my head as well and I find them mostly boring to listen to for fun. It's like a guy trying to cross a stream. These guys build a huge complex concrete-and-glass masterpiece with a working watermill, several flats and three architecture awards, but somehow forgetting the actual path over the stream. Meanwhile, Angus Young puts a log across and calls it a day, and everyone appreciates a job well done.
