Full disclosure I’d probably buy one if it was an epiphone but 5 grand can gently caress the gently caress right off.

I love that '70's dirtbag'-vibe in a guitar, but I have a feeling that Gibson's core-customers don't.

Guitarists in the year 2018 still fetishize not being good at their instruments as some kind of “style” and “feel” thing. poo poo is embarrassing.

So guitarists are basically like that guy in art-school who only wants to draw anime because it's "his style"?

Also a pic of my new SG just because. First time I've used 50s wiring and really enjoying the interactivity - these pickups are real gems for clean sounds but I fancy something like a filtertron in the bridge to get my Akka on. The search never stops etc.



That's a pretty sweet guitar.

Does that kind of wraparound bridge use thicker posts, or are they just regular tune-o-matic size?

Different spacing to ToM, and the post size varies. They're the same spacing as the stoptail part of a ToM I believe - IIRC they were originally a cheap way to use up spare parts on Melody Makers and then became their own thing.

poo poo. That's the opposite of what I had hoped. :-/ I have a project-guitar with a missing tailpiece and weird spacing between the holes. I might have to try and fabricate a new tailpiece.

I knew about the wraparound trapezes on the early goldtops (plus the even rarer and almost totally useless 'wrapunder' trapeze) but didn't realise the stoptail versions were in use that early on.

Edit:


What guitar is it and what are the measurements? Most parts are pretty standard these days so can't be anything too wacky...

It's an old old japanese SG-copy. It has a bigsby mounted on top of the old tailpiece-posts so it's a bit hard to measure. But they're definitely closer together than a regular TOM tailpiece. About the same distance apart as the bridge-posts.

God that's gross. Why bother with a "guitar" like that if you're going to spend 90% of the song on the bottom 10 strings?

e: a tapped note on guitar is the wimpiest, least metal sound there is.

A lot of modern players want to have this flawless combination of perfect playing and perfect production but don’t seem to experiment or let themselves fail enough. I understand it though. I’m working on an EP and I never make progress because I’m always chasing something better and more refined. The internet has been wonderful for music/guitar but also invites many new ways to self criticize and compare yourself to what you feel is expected in the modern industry.

In one of his youtube-videos Andrew Huang mentions that he never does more than 4 takes on a single recording, and that guy puts out a ton of music.

Yeah I realize Henry is far from the only one like him, but golden parachute or not, it’s still nice that he’s gone.

I wonder if the new guy will put a cap on the particularly absurd garbage Gibson is churning out these days, like that $6000 acoustic that only comes in lime green, or those $5000 gimmick Les Paul customs with Floyd roses and neon finishes.

I actually wonder if that’s part of the reason their prices are so high. Assuming they’re not just arbitrarily high because of psychological pricing, I wonder if Gibson is “forced” to jack up the prices of their sure-fire sellers to compensate for all their complete failures.

Now I kind of want that lime-green J-45. Just as a stupid (and expensive) memento of H.J.

It's just an electric guitar. Make more, if you need to.

Artificial scarcity is dumb.

They're really betting on some kind of Gibson-mystique to carry them. Which absolutely won't work once the boomer-generation dies.

If you commissioned a good luthier to build you that guitar there's no way it would cost 13.000

Basically the band (one guy and hired guns) scored a UK tour at some decent sized clubs despite the fact entire fan base was paid social media likes.

Why even put this much effort into a scam? There has to be a point when it's just easier to do the thing the legit way right?
