100 % of the people that say wood has nothing to do with the tone of a guitar have no clue what they're talking about
Nitro paint/lacquer is porous just as some wall paints are.
The theory is it aids the long term drying out of the wood as time goes by.
But you could also say it may provide less protection from damp or poor storage.
Over time I don't know what difference if any it will make other than maybe making the guitar a little lighter or even heavier in a humid environment, but by how much, who knows.
It would be interesting to see if one weighed decades ago has changed weight a little, surely it could only be a very small amount.
The biggest effect on the sound of a guitar is the player. ????
If anyone can catch me up on the wall behind Phil. His left shoulder, acoustic ???? On the wall under the PRS grazing the Synergy thing? Can't say it don't sound bad ass. Anywhat… Any help is appreciated. Geeking out!!
That Framus is beautiful…..wow. I’d love to hear that guitar.
I have two Fireflies, one is LP clone with three humbuckers, it is OK, the second is a 338, a Gibson 335 clone. The 338 is fantastic for the money. I did not need to do a thing set up wise.
Tone comes from the player probably 90%, put Clapton on anything he will still sound like Clapton.
When you talked about pulling a guitar out to sell, then deciding you can’t sell it, I felt so seen. I have this problem with a few guitars that I’ve been trying to sell for about a year now and just can’t bring myself to do it.
My eart hollobody and tele changed my perspective on how good a guitar has to be to get over $1000 of my money. Gibson needs to start throwing down $1000 modern lites or theyll be left behind. Too many used guitars competing with all the new ones..
I have around 10is white guitars….not because of Smashing Pumpkins lol but i do gravitate towards them…I had no idea that white guitars get more paint then others very interesting. I know nothing of woods and tone woods etc… Phillip as always thank you for being Phillip????
O.K.,I don't understand this home/sitting relationship. I spend most time playing at home but always play standing. I don't dance but, feel constrained to play while sitting.
20:04 Category: Most Creative Scene. Very photogenic! Great job, Daddy!!! I'm sure the truck will run great like that! X3
The trick to using reverb as a delay and delay as a reverb is – don't! Set each up NOT to get in the way of the other. When I want delay off I still want reverb on. I set up all modulation, OD, delay, and reverb to work with and without each other.
Not that I'm complaining, but the replay had many, many more ads than normal.
I am very big on "no bite" munch-ables . The "pop and chomp" approach allows me time to savor before coming back. Bur, please, keep the butterflies whole. And, oh, it looks like either one was forgotten or eaten prematurely.
Don't use car keys on your guitar for tone. House keys are the ones you want to use. ????
I still have my og Thomas Organ Cry Baby that I bought from a friend in high school for $20.00, but I really like my Bad Horsie ????
Wah Wah pedals, specifically the CRYBABY model… Made wholly with the guitarist in mind both in nickname and model name
I had a OG RG-565. Regret ever getting rid of it.
Funny what you've said about pup magnets. I know it isn't the only factor to make a good pick up, but from my experience, I like the warmth and less pull on the strings (especially with Strats) that A2 provide. You can put those closer to the string without getting "Stratitis", does not only happen with single coil Strats but that's where it matters more than with hums. But I'm a classic rock player so I don't use more gain than 70s hard rock, think Thin Lizzy "Live And Dangerous" or UFO "Strangers In The Night". Ceramics work very well with high gain for me but some are also good at other appliances, to my surprise. Each to his own. No final answer but a preference.
I like the point that it is up to your perception if things you do to a guitar makes a difference. I would also add to that the appliance, the musical context you're in. I've heard lots and lots of people saying that changing bridges or stop tails doesn't make a difference aside ease of use etc. But my experience was always different to that – to the extent that pickups I didn't like with the original hardware sounded fine with the hardware changed. I have an SG Faded from 2016 that I liked a lot unplugged but when plugged in, wasn't doing certain things well that I needed. I decided to change the hardware, the wiring and the pickups., one at a time, to make it a "top notch" guitar. The wiring changed almost nothing but the way the pots were reacting, something one can get used to.Then I changed the bridge and the stop tail and all that I disliked about the guitar was gone. I've already ordered Lollar Imperials so I put them in anyway. The pups made a big difference and I'm very happy with that. BUT(!) I could've lived with the 490s after the hardware change. My problem wasn't exactly the original pups but the Zamak stuff they put on these guitars. I've noticed an, to me, unpleasant upper mid emphasis and a "boring" tone, too even, when doing harmonics, vibrato or bending. But it weren't the 490s that were the problem but the bridge and stop tail actually.
