That sounds hideous/Ibanez made a Talman like that probably.

Edit: Speaking of Ibanez, uh, yes please:

I absolutely love their Jet King guitars. I don't know what's wrong with me.

They're offset and funky looking and don't at all scream CHUGGA CHUGGA MEEDLY WRAAAAAGH?

David_Dovey · « **Reply #2003 on:** 11 Nov 2010, 12:01 »

I'm seriously dismayed by everybody's dismissal of both CHUGGA and WEEDLY. All of the best bands do those things!

valley_parade · « **Reply #2004 on:** 11 Nov 2010, 12:25 »

I'm referring to it more as the shitty pop-metalcore bands (though, goddammit, I love A Day To Remember).

greenMonkey · « **Reply #2005 on:** 11 Nov 2010, 13:47 »

You also can do CHUGGA and WEEDLY on a pretty looking/sounding guitar. CHUGGA and WEEDLY do not presuppose a nasty pointy super strat with EMGs and a knockoff floyd.

Yngwie played at a club I worked at in DC years ago. He was easily the biggest douche of any of the performers that came through. This wasn't a stadium, this was a bar, in Georgetown, that had live music most nights, and a comedy troupe on Saturday's. He very pointedly asked me where his masseuse was, and was very upset when I told him there wasn't one. Fuckin' masseuse. We had like a two drink and one sandwich limit for 90% of the talent, and he wanted a masseuse.

I like scallops off my fretboard, kthx.

Only person I can imagine worse is the laughable Michael Angelo Batio. 4 necks are better than one.

I know his signature is the same body style, but he used to use one of the old school ones with the p90 in the neck before they put out his signature. Those are way cooler. I could never get by with a one pickup guitar.

I've still never seen that movie. There's something wrong with me.

ETA my friend gave me his old Boss OS-2 that he doesn't use anymore because he quit trying to learn guitar. And I'll be damned if it isn't the perfect piece of gear for my arsenal. I plug it in after my Tonebone in the loop, and it makes my shit sound like goddamn Duane Allman. Especially now that my hand/wrist injury has reduced me to playing guitar in the least physically demanding way possible. Which means SLIIIIIIIIIIDE!

Sound samples to come after Thursday, if all goes well.

Christophe · « **Reply #2018 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 09:04 »

I like my OS-2 just fine, but I'm not a big fan of how much bass it doesn't have.

valley_parade · « **Reply #2019 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 09:04 »

get one of those EHX bass boosts, man.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #2020 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 11:06 »

You're suggesting that he buy a pedal to make up for the deficiencies of another pedal.

valley_parade · « **Reply #2021 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 11:54 »

It's cheaper than shelling out for that sweet-ass vintage MXR distortion I have.

Protip: don't expect pedals to sound exactly the same as your amp, just with an effect on top. That's not how shit works. Turn the tone knob toward 'LO' and get a Tonebone or some shit

valley_parade · « **Reply #2023 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 12:00 »

See, Dovey?

The clear fix is "more pedals".

Melodic · « **Reply #2024 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 12:47 »

i heard you like tone on yr tone so i got a pedal for yr pedal

valley_parade · « **Reply #2026 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 13:58 »

shhhhh enough about this. If we keep talking, Gibson will hear us and make a pedal that invokes the tone and m@j@ of a '59 Les Paul.

Not only that, but even if your guitar is out of tune, said pedal will make it sound in tune.

They're about due for something good, after these last few links people have posted from them recently.

They did that LP Studio with P-90s earlier this year and figured that was the turnaround point.

E'nope.

valley_parade · « **Reply #2031 on:** 16 Nov 2010, 12:52 »

Um....good looking guitars to break the mood of the thread...

Bang. Fender Custom Shop "Cabronita" Telecaster. Warmoth sells bodies and guards for these, and I'm debating building one in metallic green. And with a mini humbucker instead of that TV Jones dealio.

And no relicing, obviously. I've been playing a lot of stuff in open G tuning lately (Patrick, check yr email), and it'd be rad to have something simple just for that occasion (and playing slide).

meatbag · « **Reply #2032 on:** 16 Nov 2010, 13:12 »

I'm torn between guitars...

Which one do you guys think I should get...

or

valley_parade · « **Reply #2033 on:** 16 Nov 2010, 13:24 »

Jazzmaster > PRS

Unless you're a lawyer and you play the blues? Then..yeah, get the PRS.

edit: or you're Jeph. But you're not Jeph. Get a dang Jazzmaster.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #2034 on:** 16 Nov 2010, 14:21 »

Jazzmaster.

Also good fuck is that Telecaster you posted the most beautiful thing Shane, and it'll look even better in green.

valley_parade · « **Reply #2035 on:** 16 Nov 2010, 14:46 »

Yeah hey Fender if you made non-Custom Shop models that didn't cost $3,600 a piece I might buy one.

Bearer · « **Reply #2036 on:** 16 Nov 2010, 15:56 »

Shit, I forgot guitar fetish made these things. Those tele/jazzmasters with mini humbuckers look pretty rad.

This is such a fantastic idea. I might just steal it. I really like that sonic blue finish on the La Cabronita, but Warmoth has that too...

Lupercal · « **Reply #2039 on:** 17 Nov 2010, 09:37 »

Sucks you get guitars like that, to ship to the UK costs over half the price of the guitar. It would end up being something like $350 for a sub $200 guitar. Might as well scour the land for one. Or just get a Jagmaster. But the Tele/Jazz crossover is wonderful, maybe Fender will introduce that into some kind of "Whitetop" range.

Kwaping · « **Reply #2040 on:** 17 Nov 2010, 10:05 »

I'm still jonesing for a new American Special HSS Strat. But I talked to a local builder who would do a custom job for me for around the same $800. Problem is, I'm still new enough that I don't even know how I'd spec out a custom, or if I'd be happy with it in the long run. FML.

Another one of those things where building could be your best friend. I think it's GuitarMill that does spot-on Telemaster bodies.

Still an American site though. There isn't a lot of that sort of stuff over here to my knowledge, so building from scratch is probably the only option really. I have a shitty "Encore" strat copy that I'm going to do something with over the summer, but would like an offset. I know building is a lot cheaper, but beginning mine would literally be one of those Saturday morning trips to B&Q with my dad. Does any son really relish that?

Strats are boring as fuck. If I really needed one (which i don't, really) I'd much rather have a Carvin Bolt, any G&L stratalike etc.
My 727 and Spectrum get stratty enough for me. But really, follow yr GAS, and don't listen to us.

valley_parade · « **Reply #2048 on:** 18 Nov 2010, 12:16 »

I can't say if someone offered me say, a clone of Rivers Cuomo's old blue Strat, I wouldn't take it.

But yeah, mostly they're boring.

Radical AC · « **Reply #2049 on:** 18 Nov 2010, 12:21 »

I know a guy with a 747. Those guitars are beautiful, and play really well (even to someone not used to a 7 string)

Strats are about as exciting as LPs to me. They are everywhere, and not much of a head turner. But, there is still a reason they have been around forever, and everyone copies them. They're versatile and get the job done.
