I just carefully re-read this thread.

Then something isn't adding up!

KharBevNor · « **Reply #51 on:** 15 Jan 2007, 01:24 »

You'll have to understand that the first reading consisted of scrolling past everything looking at the pictures of guitars, noting that they did not seem very interesting, and then opening up a text file in which I keep the bb code for images of the BEST GUITAR EVER and pasting that in to a reply.

Let's use HTML guys. My "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT" post was the open tag. Misereatur's quote of my post is the close tag. Fight over. More guitars.

The guy who owns my favourite guitar shop actually has that guitar (not for sale though). The trigger is the pickup switch. I had kindof been hoping it would light off some fireworks or something but I guess that's good enough.

Kane Roberts (formerly of Alice Coopers band) had a gun guitar that shot jets of flame, I believe.

I want a guitar that's shaped like it's built out of a number of smaller, inferior guitars.

I had the idea of making a robot that would play a bass guitar, but the guitar would look like a robot, and the robot would look like a guitar.

I have to get a more interesting job.

Zakk Wylde Signature Les Paul Electric Guitar - Bull's Eye

Will set you back about $4,000.

i agree with every part of this post. this guitar kicks the shit.

also, if anyone has ever seen FLCL, (and i know its just a cartoon but...) the main character naota has a pretty sick guitar at the end of the show, right when he turns into atomsk. I forget what they called it and don't have time to look it up. but i am sure somebody knows.

Also, Slash had a pretty sweet Gibson back in the day if anyone can remember.

Kai · « **Reply #65 on:** 15 Jan 2007, 20:45 »

you mean the double necked Gibson? Or the Rickenbacker?

I cannot even begin to provide examples from my own experience for the validity of this statement, just because I don't think I'd be able to even come CLOSE to finishing.

A Languedoc.
Nice to know he's making them for the general public these days.
But the pricetag is a bit of a turn off.

And, this Conklin.

Melted tops melt my face.

Although, if i were into the whole extended-range bass thing, I'd be killing for this Conklin, known as the "pac bass"

It belongs to jean baudin, hes the man.

Sorry if my pictures are a bit big, if anyone has a problem ill go and resize them.

I have two requests for you.

The first is to read the rules of the forum and thusly remove that sig.

The second is a more personal one. I do not enjoy watching a naked anime child's balls.

David_Dovey: you mentioned a 6-string PRS before. I totally just remembered that my guitar teacher is sponsored by PRS. We all nag him about when his own PRS model is coming out, and when he can throw free ones our way.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Yeah, extended-range basses tend to move out of the bass range.
But he pretty much does alot of tapping,
Search youtube for "jean baudin" or "11 string mario" and you'll see it.

His myspace page has some nice music too. He gets almost piano like tones.

It wasn't offensive, we just don't have sig pictures here.

Oh, and I like the Fender Cyclone, but every one I've played they can't hold tuning. I know wammy bars sent you out of tune, but Cyclones do it the worst I've ever heard.

He's a tapper. There's a video of him playing the Mario theme on an 11 string bass.

Also, for me, nothing beats the Jazz Bass. Simple, comfortable, great sound.

Alphapenguin · « **Reply #83 on:** 18 Jan 2007, 01:57 »

I've got a love-hate relationship with my guitar. It's a 70s era Epiphone Genesis, which is basically just a cheap Les Paul knockoff with pickup switching and two cutaways. It's sweet, but I got it used, and the previous owner wore out the hardware like you wouldn't believe. Now the strings go out of tune almost immediately after I tune them, or at least shortly after I start playing.

But even so, I like it.

EVERYTHING ON THIS WEBSITE (Carvin guitars and basses)

ImRonBurgundy? · « **Reply #85 on:** 18 Jan 2007, 17:25 »

Although I'm sure they're pretty nice instruments, I just can't get into PRS or Carvin guitars, simply because they're so aesthetically displeasing to me.

carrotosaurus · « **Reply #86 on:** 19 Jan 2007, 00:38 »

I think the Gibson Thunderbird IV is probably the best-looking electric. Such a nice shape. Slightly off-topic, but has anyone seen the Dean V Coustic? Ugliest guitar ever.

valley_parade · « **Reply #87 on:** 19 Jan 2007, 01:04 »

If I ever open up a shop, I'm going to buy parts from Warmoth and make a few guitars in the style of Tony Iommi's Gibson custom shop SG (wine red). It's one of the best looking SGs I think I've ever seen.

Although I'd more than likely do them up right handed.

Johnny C · « **Reply #89 on:** 19 Jan 2007, 03:05 »

How do you play one of those, out of curiousity? Do you strum it or do you hit it with something in order to produce a sound?

Did you string it the same way as well?

Patrick · « **Reply #91 on:** 19 Jan 2007, 20:24 »

Er... how does one play such an instrument?

Thrillho · « **Reply #92 on:** 19 Jan 2007, 21:15 »

I didn't string it the way they did. It's tuned DADADx. I use it to make dissonant noises and feedback, by hitting and strumming. The frets are redundant of course, but I basically have two guitars in one because the drum stick acts as an artificial bridge, so the strings above and below make different noises. So no strumming per se, occasionally one strum of the strings or moving a slide or something up and down it, but it's mostly feedback and hitting the strings with a drumstick.

carrotosaurus · « **Reply #93 on:** 19 Jan 2007, 21:57 »

I would have a mental breakdown just tuning the second one. What the jesus fuck is that thing?

Yakob · « **Reply #96 on:** 23 Jan 2007, 02:35 »

I almost have a mental breakdown tuning six strings. Oh fuck, I'd be dead after tuning 30 of them.

edit: jesus, there's more of them at the bottom!

Aneurhythmia · « **Reply #97 on:** 23 Jan 2007, 04:26 »

They're just drone strings. Though I really can't imagine what the inside of that guitar looks like to brace all that tension.

that bottom one there, looks like it could be pat metheny's pikasso guitar.

its a harp guitar,

so while you can play the main guitar neck normally, the rest acts as a harp.

they are tuned to different scales. so that you can strum and have a chord play or whatever.

if you want to hear what it sounds like, check out the song "into the dream" of the imaginary day album.

theres also a video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEq02XUxVOw

Looking at the first page, i feel as if my Gib SG is no longer special. Despite its name.

On another note (LOL)

A friend of mine brought in a Les Paul to school, and it looks small to me. Are all Les Pauls on the small side?Or was it just an illusion of brain chemicals?
