I'd love one of those Les Pauls that are just thinner and lighter, maybe with comfort carves, but everyone that does them seem to also need to change the body design in ways that they never look right to me. I'd like an LP but like... add a double cut and a belly carve and a forearm contour, add a 9.5 radius neck and go ahead and make it 25.5" scale and instead of the stop-tail give me 6-saddle adjustable style

I've noodled on the LP a bit and yeah I don't think I like that thing at all. I like the Rickenbacker a lot more but I blew a string so I need to deal with that. (I've decided to just get a full setup done on it since who knows when it last had any sort of maintenance.)

Sounds like some of y’all with wrist/hand comfort/ergonomic issues may enjoy multiscale necks. E: my main guitar is 25.5 to 27” and not only is it super comfortable but I like the string tension more than a standard neck too. Only thing I don’t like more is barre chords below like the 5th fret or so, but who wants to play those anyway. fullroundaction fucked around with this message at 13:54 on Apr 28, 2024 |

My daughter requested Joker and the Thief by Wolfmother because I think it's in one of her video games or something, which was perfect timing because my wife has been having fun playing with our new keyboard (thanks again for the recommendations, goons!). So we collaborated and now we have something fun and silly we can do together again, yay! I just need to figure out how to shoot keyboard more interestingly ... I'm not used to being behind the camera lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaSAuTaPX1E

Synth youtube has settled on overhead shots on a wood desk surrounded by succulents and toys. Glad she's liking that controller! Also, nice cover. I learned that song a billion years ago and remember it being pretty fun to play. Those hammer ons from nowhere reminds me I've been meaning to learn HoF's Snakes of the Divine....

Thanks! And good call, she’s got a billion plants we can decorate with, I’ll go down the synth YouTube rabbit hole because what else better do I have to do. It was fun to play yeah, one of those easy songs you can learn the entirety of before it’s even done playing, which made my parts very easy lol. Worked out that all the keyboard was in A minor so she was able to sort it out quickly. E: Snakes rules. Matt Pike rules

I couldn't quite get comfy on the Strandberg I tried to really test multiscale against normal, but in theory, the idea of multiscale is fantastic. It works better with the shape of fingers going around the neck. I just wish that it was a chunkier overall neck - at least for me, the taller the neck = the less distance I need to pinch to fret or barre. Then again I'm pretty sure that as soon as we start permutations of "multiscale but X" the cost is gonna go way, way up - I can't imagine they're cheap to manufacture to start with, but customizing to that degree sounds like a nutso amount of tweaking a neck. I'm guessing that nobody's yet at the point of a parameterized neck customizer beyond what Warmoth does now.

Usually in May Kiesel runs a "Multiscale May" promotion where the upcharge for that on most (all?) models is dropped. Normally it's +$200 I think. They've got multiscale trems now too (finally)!

I think a lighter in my pocket sort of simultaenously melted and scratched this custom shop 335's finish. oh well. scratch #1 has arrived early. the guitars too fun to play to keep it in a glass case. should be worth another $500 relic now right?

Anyone ever find a guitar that genuinely surprised you with its playability/sound/etc? Like, you pick it up and realize “oh gently caress, I didn’t realize it could be this good?” I’ve hit that recently with my EBMM Majesty 8. Thought I knew the range of comfort 8’s could offer, have owned over a dozen, ranging from cheap Agiles to US custom builds, in all sorts of scales and setups. But this fuckin thing… it feels super slinky but isn’t floppy on the low strings, perfectly balanced, control setup is tight, piezo is wonderful. I thought bc it cost >$4k I’d unintentionally make it a case queen, but all I want to do is rock the gently caress out with it.

I'd legitimately love a PRS Hollowbody I'm not gonna be bashful about it. It's hard finding the specs I want as it is, and PRS (at least SEs) are as far as you can go before "custom made" gets bandied about.

I wasn't shopping and didn't need anything, which is why I went into the acoustic room. I played a lot of guitars that day, and the last ones I tried were some Breedloves. And I pulled down this very plain dreadnought with no fancy appointments and no electronics at all, not even a cutaway. And it just played. I felt it immediately, in a way the other guitars simply did not. And it sounded so loud and bright I was just knocked over by it. After a little bit of haggling I spent my a/c money on it. I introduced it to a friend of mine who had been buying and trading some expensive acoustics for the first time, and he started all over by selling the two he had settled on. But he never bought a Breedlove because I admitted it was from Indonesia. His loss.

So I've had this tele sitting around; it was part of a package deal of various gear. Distressed Vintage V52 body with an I think Player neck. Anyway, someone wanted the neck so I sold it to them and have had the rest sitting around for a while. Now I happened across a Mighty Mite scalloped strat neck in fine condition so I want to do something fun. The hardware's kind of blah so I am fine with replacing it. So I have a tele body I can do what I want with and a scalloped strat neck. So what to do? Standard tele bridge with a single coil and a P90 or humbucker neck?

On “Machine Gun” and other songs during the famous Fillmore East concerts, Hendrix was using a pedal called a Univibe. It may have been a special piece of kit created for him by Roger Mayer, or perhaps it was store-bought. If anyone knows the sound I mean, can you recommend an affordable pedal that sounds similar?

Not many cheap analog ones as it's a bit specialised these days, but there a lot of multi-mod pedals that will do it. For dedicated vibe pedals try the TC Viscous Vibe or the NuX Voodoo Vibe. I believe Dunlop have the Univibe trademark these days - either as MXR or Dunlop.

Probably the standard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQyHVZdamQk The Phase 95 can be used in 45 mode for some "vib-ish" sounds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbwDJOgIZpQ Mooer makes a lot of great sounding pedals for dirt cheap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw5hJnbRmmA

Slothful Bong posted:Anyone ever find a guitar that genuinely surprised you with its playability/sound/etc? Like, you pick it up and realize “oh gently caress, I didn’t realize it could be this good?” It's kind of rare for me, aside from extremes I don't tend to notice/care too much. I expect certain guitars to be different, most of it depends on the setup and fretwork, and surprise, most nicer guitars are set up better than cheaper guitars. And it doesn't seem like guitar center does anything to their guitars out of the box. That said, the guitars that have surprised me... Breedlove ds/r h? roots series dreadnought at guitar center for $750 with original hardshell case. I was on the hunt for a new, better acoustic and played everything I could get my hands on in my city. I was dead set on a Martin but I wanted to do my due diligence and check every store. This was used and I'm very familiar with breedlove but sorta stopped paying attention to them after they started making their lesser expensive models and making almost solely small body cutaways. It was a traditional dread and sounded like it. I picked this up and played it and I couldn't put it down. Several people asked me what guitar I was playing and I'm not some great guitarist. I was afraid someone was going to buy it so I bought it on the spot. It played so well and sounded perfect. I'll never get rid of it. The next was thanks to this thread. Everybody had been singing the praises of the squier j mascis jazzmaster for a while. I eventually started to keep an eye out and play one if I saw one. Found myself at a guitar center while waiting for a haircut and they had one in the used section. It still has all the plastic on the pick guard and pickups. I sat down, plugged into a blues junior and I was sold. It felt so good. The neck just clicked. It felt right. The satin finish was perfect. It sounded incredible. It didn't hurt that it was on sale for $370. I bought it. The next (that I didn't buy) was a friend of mine a decade ago. We went to a bar to grab wings and got tipsy. We walked over to guitar center and saw a custom shop walnut stain 335 with P90s. I don't remember if it was a signature model or not. At the time he was listening to a lot of Gary Clark Junior and wanted a 335. It was marked down to $2200. I convinced him to buy it. It sounded like heaven and played as such. The last is my buddies 1968 Gibson 330. For its age I cannot believe how well it plays. It's effortless. And it sounds incredible.
