Silverburst plus binding is always sexy though:

I was browsing through the Rondo music site and found the AL silverburst by happenstance...can't wait until my paycheck gets in to get one.
Silverburst is the best thing.

They seem like decent quality, expensive, overly maple-toppy guitars with humbuckers that the wrong people like.

I don't think we talk enough, sir.

Their korean Baritone silverburst model is pretty fucking awesome:

It's a signature model for the dude from Staind.

Guys my fuzz pedal showed up yesterday! It's not too bad on its own, seems to get a little icepicky with the bridge humbucker on my Tele, but with the Double Muff driving it, it's absolutely brutal. A fantastic buy for $25 if you've got a nice OD or boost behind it.

Lupercal · « **Reply #2853 on:** 04 Mar 2011, 06:31 »

Nicely done. At the end of the day other people's opinions on stuff will only get you so far, and quite a lot of budget guitars and effects these days are pretty stellar. Of course this all depends on what you play and where, but glad the pedal is a thumbs up. I've never been a label snob and don't understand those people that are, some of the best guitar players simply put some wood together and due to their skill they seem 100000% cooler (see: Red Special, EVH Charvel, etc)

And now to destroy any hope of being accepted here: lulz I saw Staind when they opened for Nickelback in 2008.

So? I don't see what that has to do it being awesome or not. Not everyone playing Les Pauls are into or associated with jazz-pop.

Jags are cool, but I prefer Jazzmasters. I feel like all of the electronics on Jags are a bit much and prefer the simpler layout of JMs. Here's mine, which is Japanese. I replaced the stock pick-ups with Lindy Fralins.

The buzzstop is long gone! I snapped this photo right after I got the guitar and the previous owner had put that on there. I don't think they're necessary.

It was made by John Lyons @ Basic Audio (same guy who made the wooden enclosure pedals I posted earlier). It's a perfect recording amp loaded with a nice Weber speaker.

Cernunnos · « **Reply #2865 on:** 06 Mar 2011, 19:50 »

Yeah I was thinking of using neodymium for kicks actually. I feel like I should get an assortment to experiment with, as well as several different wire gauges. I'm probably gonna use plastic sheet (cd case, maybe?) and blocks of wood for the bobbins. before that I need to buy a cheap calculator to make a counter. I tried rigging up my computer mouse to it to do it, but while I did get it working, I only have one of those at the moment and I don't want to do that with my good mouse.

you can sleep when you are in the HIV ward.
In other news, I just realized the nasal-y shit sound I've been getting from my Tiny Terror is because my dumbass plugged the 8ohm avatar into the 16 ohm TT output.
I just kept looking at the pod, the guitar controls, the 3 knobs on the amp scratching my head... it's been 2 or 3 practices and I've not been happy with the sound. Switched to the single coil Nitefly and wow it was really sounding like a $69 piece of crap. Then the dumb fuck-edness passed and I looked behind it to the horror that I'd plugged it into the wrong hole-i-o. (Which all of your moms complained about too.) Any chance I damaged either the cab or the head?

Man some people just have mad boners for that finish, but I would prefer it in basically anything else. I dig the shape, though.

anyway, now that I am done quoting the shit out of doombilly

So here's a cool thing that I tried one time - I took a hammer and a beer bottle cap and pounded it into a pick shape, and it sounds all kinds of beautiful. On my acoustic anyway; on an electric it sticks to the pickups and makes this little *pop* sound. Try it out. I found it kind of interesting.

Chad K. · « **Reply #2875 on:** 10 Mar 2011, 23:10 »

I've seriously become infatuated with cheap archtops. I just bought an Epi ES-175 today and I love it. This comes on the heels of a Joe Pass Emperor, which followed a Sheraton ii. And, unlike when I normally horde guitars, all my Epis get played at shows. Seriously, Epiphone may make some lousy solid body guitars, but the semis and hollowbodies are some gems.

Step one, download this blueprint:

Step two, acquire tools, or friend who has these tools or similar:
-band saw
-router
-drill press
Step three, buy some wood and some cheap guitar fetish hardware and go to town. You'll end up with something hopefully less ugly then the fucker I put together on my first try:

Finally got that guitar finished, with two days to spare, didn't go for a new nut, just filed the current one down. BEAUTIFUL. Overall I'm happy with my first build, had to put a shim in the neck to get the angle right, but other than that not a single hiccough.
I WILL DO THIS AGAIN MANY MANY TIMES.

my problem is I want a site in the UK that is a mirror of Warmouth.

But damn dude get that Charvel thing going, because it sounds cool. They are generally beautiful guitars, minimalist and classy.

Anyone have a spare couple of grand lying around so I can get a MusicMan?

The thing was mostly a practice for the different templates I made, so the result was truly a Frankenstein monster. Semi hollow body, routed for a strat neck, telecaster controls, a P90 in the neck, single coil middle, humbucker bridge, and a stratocaster tremolo block. It's a shame the f-hole turned out so badly, the thing doesn't sound that bad acoustically (the shitty pickups I got from a pawnshop on the other hand...)
