The Guitar Pron Thread

To wit

[Buzzrock 14926]

I’d take this one though. I think these are a grand.

[jimmyjazz 45986]

I honestly don't know what to think about that guy.  He can shred, but even on "Eruption" it's not Eddie.  He can riff on blues licks in ways I couldn't even imagine doing, yet he's not a blues man.

I think he needs a come to Jesus moment.

[Buzzrock 14926]

He’s enigmatic for sure. He has the best right hand I’ve ever seen. It takes a ton of work to be able to pick every note like that and pick it cleanly. I rely on way too much legato myself.

So, guy at work just brought me his guitar. It's a 339 . It's the Custom shop model. Need to take it home and clean it up, then try to sell it.

And just like that Deej wins Wednesday

[Deej 76842]

Damn it. Now I need to come up with the scratch to buy this thing. He is going to pay me a commission if I sell it, so I figure I can take that off the top. Ran the serial # and it's a 2015.

That is one nice guitar Deej. I have to get one of those in my stable.

It's for sale. Listed it at 1800, which is more than fair after looking at Reverb. I told him if one of you guys bought it, he's gonna get 1700. He was good with that.

The neck on that 339 is all the right kind of chunky.

[Cashdaddyblumpkins 207]

Replaced the original black pick guard with a white one. Contrasts the tobacco sunburst much better.

Also went to Austin Guitar House and played some boutique strats today.



Played some Suhrs, a CP Thornton, and a Nash—ranging from $2400-$3000. Think I liked the CP Thornton the most, but honestly, my $700 Mexistrat feels just as good. Maybe that’s because I’m used to it. Maybe it’s because the 10s on my strat are more my sound than the 9s in the shop.

Need to test out a PRS Silver Sky soon too. Hoping to get a new strat-type guitar around March.

Honestly, there's no reason you can't make a cheaper Fender-style guitar be as good as the boutique ones for a fraction of the cost.

I didn't need to see this today. 339 is one of the last pieces to the puzzle of life.

That video is a nice representation. It sounds better than my LP, and the LP in no way sounds bad. It just has a richer, more complex tone. Helps that those pups aren't quite as hot.

Man, it's not my fault I'm not the only Clash fan in the world.

Me and AUTF went and reconned some big hollow body pron for y’all last night.

[AnotherUTFan 9761]

That was a great show. Both cool and humbling watching Rev Horton Heat tear up that orange Gretsch. I told my girlfriend, "I have basically that same guitar, but I can't play it like that."

[Buzzrock 14926]

My Sunday afternoon view is better than yours



And now I have to have a ES-335. Thanks for the hospitality AUTF!

What say you.

 

Epiphone Century 1962 Cherry Red Vintage

We are both 62 models. But from Carter Vintage a couple of years ago. They got it from the family of the original owner.

Very nice. Who are those fellas flanking him?

[AnotherUTFan 9761]

The guy in the red jacket is Deke Dickerson. Buzz may remember the other guy's name. They were all great, but the best parts of the show were when it was just Horton Heat and his band. Especially when they covered "Ace of Spades". Close your eyes and Motorhead was on stage.

They did Ace of Spades!?  Funny, the drummer in our band used to play with Jim in a side project and they used to play that on occasion.  Such a great player and a great guy.

TBH, I'd only heard of him because he had a signature model Gretsch 6120 that I'd considered when I bought mine. I've been trying to see him for years but it never lined up until Buzz happened to in town. Glad it did.

Yeah, score for you.  He's a good show.

Anyone who can pull off Cowboy Love is bad ass.

The other guy was Dave Gonzalez of the Paladins. All three seemed to think it was kind of a special thing them all being on stage together. They were having fun no doubt. Great show.

Clip about string gauges.  Cool experiment and results.

And Rhett quickly posted this.  That Onorato dude does all of the work on my guitars.

Eh, I'm not so sure.  When they were tracking the parts, I felt like the 10's got tubbier sounding, but playback doesn't really tell me that's true.  There was a definite shift towards a more razor-like sound with 9's and 8's.

Here's a crazy idea:  play what feels good (for me, either 10's or 11's) and roll back ~ 80 Hz if the bass is too goofy.  Cutting is always preferable to boosting.  ("Always", LOL.)  I'd rather play in tune and with comfort than to make a wholesale change that takes me out of my comfort zone when a minor EQ tweak might solve whatever mud is happening because the bottom end is too big.

When I was in high school, our jazz band won some contest where some hot shot Yamaha sponsored sax player was going to come give us a clinic.  That dude died a week before the clinic and the found a replacement.  The head of the guitar department at North Texas State.  I didn't know shit about jazz music, but I knew this guy was a big deal and I was likely in for a long day.  

He picked up my guitar, strummed it one time and said, "get rid of these damn rock-n-roll strings".  I likely had 8s on at the time.  I started playing 10s after that and have since that time. 

Also, going to have a NGD on Saturday.
