Scratch that, I went to a shop today which had a dobro ukulele, a banjolele, lutes, bouzoukis and various other awesomenesses.I want all of thems

But did the shop have a pipa (pron: pee-pah)? What it sounds like played by Liu Feng. And more detail in this interview with Wu Man. It looks like this:

You should have your credit cards taken away immediately.

Pretty good that I don't have credit cards, I would have one already.

Nah I just like the idea of the Trans Trem. I like the idea of getting a Floyd'd guitar, but have like, no use for one. I'm not a metal player, it would just be fun to noodle around with it. But it all seems like too much of a big effort. Might as well just get a good strat-trem on a guitar. Like a Strat.

also, someone say scalloped fretboards?

No, but scalloped fretboards are way too metal for me.

Did someone say metal? Wu Man messing around with the electric pipa built by Walter Kitundu, featured in her Shanghai Blues.

Oh coolio. May have snagged one of those surprisingly now-sought-after black Sovtek Big Muffs that were discontinued a few years back.

I liked it when I tried one with a Squier Duo-Sonic, but they they just disappeared/were discontinued. My Dano fuzz is nice, but I need something a little more burly and low-end, as well.

edit: I think I called it "too smooth" when I first tried it out, but like the Dano, that burliness will come from putting my Double Muff in front of it.

O HAI

PUNK

So, basically this is a swamp ash Tele Deluxe from Warmoth, with a counterfeit (or MIJ, I dunno) Fender Strat neck that I found in a bin. The pickup is of course the very lovely Alnico War Pig. I love this thing to death, to put it mildly.

exactly

Well, the bigass pickguard was necessary, since this guitar is routed as a Tele Deluxe, ie for two humbuckers, so there really was no getting around it.

The Duke · « **Reply #3177 on:** 14 Jul 2011, 11:48 »

Hey Guitar Topic, I need your help/knowledge/expertise. My acoustic guitar (this one) is doing this thing where the G string makes this buzz inside the body, right underneath the bridge, no matter which fret you play it on. It is super annoying. I've done some experimenting, and I've determined that is caused by neither the truss rod, nor the actual bridge, nor the string itself. My other acoustic (this one) has just started doing the same thing, as has my friend's Gibson acoustic, meaning it doesn't seem to be a manufacturer issue either. I suspect that it may be caused by humidity, but I wanted to check with you guys before I invest in any kind of dehumidifier(s). Does anyone here have any experience with this?

boneykingofnowhere · « **Reply #3178 on:** 14 Jul 2011, 15:15 »

I had the same problem with my Takamine. I ended up taking it in to a local repair shop and they said there was a loose brace inside the body. Bastards ended up charging me twice what they told me they would.

The Duke · « **Reply #3179 on:** 14 Jul 2011, 17:38 »

Did it work again afterward, though? I took it in and once they were done it was all good for about a week or two, and then it started having the same problem again, so they replaced it with another of the same model, and that's the one I have now and it's doing the same thing. Also, it strikes me as a bit of a coincidence that three totally different guitars would have that same problem at the same time; unless it's brought on by something like the humidity or some such.

Patrick · « **Reply #3180 on:** 14 Jul 2011, 22:49 »

Humidity wouldn't be too surprising. Also: having a dehumidifier around is always a good call.

doombilly · « **Reply #3181 on:** 19 Jul 2011, 07:04 »

I just got this 8 pack of specialized sacks of calcium carbonate (from Home Depot) as I noticed some mold in my guitar closet. Considering both of the supporting walls are underground this is not too strange. Also since our A/C died last August, I'm hoping this will dry it up sufficiently.

He's right, just just pump your love juices into it and then leave it in a steamy mound of tangled sheets. You never call it back. You change your route not to run into it again. Oh wait, what were we talking about?

Shane the people who told you great things about the Pathfinder series were wrong, those things suck just as much dick as any other solid-state.

The only time solid state doesn't blow huge ass is with bass amps.

I want to hear from the Lummer. I'm sure that was not said in jest. He's toying with us. Or he's afraid to come out as Solid State Curious. (Surely he's not full blown SS? he's Bi-ampual for sure...right Lummer?)

I setup my SG like a boss today. I screwed every screw to the perfect amount of screwage.

(Also, I am finally approaching the amount of money I will need to buy a proper amplifier. I am thinking a Fender Twin something or such).

I am indeed very bi-ampual. On one side there is the ol' modded Laney GH50L I've been rockin' for a few years now. That goes through a plain-jane Marshall 4x12. On the other is my newest aquisition, whích is a cheapo Randall RH100G2 Halfstack. The cab is pretty good, just a standard 4x12, no frills and gimmícks there.

Where the Randall Rh-series shines, though, is their distortion channel. The amount of brutal, disgustingly heavy low-end these bastards pump out is just astounding, if not a little scary. It works very weel together with the Laney amp, which is all Brit midrange snarl. Those two amps combined give me just the right stuff for what I'm going for.

If you want some clean with your cleans, get a Deluxe Reverb. So, so sweet. Never tried one with any od/distortion, though.

Lupercal · « **Reply #3190 on:** 21 Jul 2011, 09:34 »

I really hate the tuning pegs my Strat has. The stupid type where you put the end of the string downwards into a hole, then wind. I just had to replace a brand new string because I ended up cutting too much of it off. I mean, when did these exist in the 50s? Pssh...

Tuned up a step and a half the other day - F#,B,E,A,C,F#. Weird, but very comfortable.

Old City Knoxville TN, I don't remember the name of the shop. Was killing time before our show 6/2.

I registered just to let you know that the name of the store is Hot Horse Records. The supplier is the owner of Music Room Guitars (I bought both my electric and nylon-string there despite there being a much larger and experienced store like a freaking block away, I just found what I wanted), and the owner is a real nice guy. Only complaint is that he gave me some terrible strings with both instruments.

I learned about him and and his store (and by extension, Hot Horse) through some fellows musicians at a volunteer music academy in Knoxville.

...Um, I like to keep up with the music suppliers and sources in my town.

There's like fifty more around here.

Yeah, I'm looking for something pretty clean since I'll be running a Pod into it, and still want to be able to fuck about with different amp models without the cab imparting too much tone on the Pod. I'm also a sucker for the old Reverbs, especially the tremolo inputs.

My favorite amps right now are the Marshall Haze series. I'm also pretty alright with this Marshall AVT 20 I've been borrowing from my pal, it's a pretty satisfactory amp. I do wish it had a footswitch though. The Haze series does, but the effects are digital.
