I want a new guitar.
- Thread starter rideit
- Start date
I remember my buddy and I in high school set up our amps on our back patio and cranked shitty metallica riffs at full volume. My dad came home, asked what the fuck we were doing and smacked me upside the head while unplugging us. At the time I thought he was a dick.....now I get it. Oh boy do I get it.
The teeny Yamaha is more than my neighbors want to hear....
Any of you really good at setting action/intonation?
looking for Some suggestions.
on my tele, when I have it adjusted so that the A string is open and in perfect tune, and is also in perfect tune at the twelfth fret, the B note (second fret) is way sharp. This sounds like crap. Thoughts?
Kill it with distortion?

Gorilla tape around the strings to eliminate buzz
if an open A is in tune, and a 12th fret A harmonic is in tune your intonation is correct (and I mean exactly in tune, use a good strobe tuner if you're going to fuck with your saddles/intonation) Then, a fretted note going sharp is more likely due to high action and/or strong fingers on big frets.
Start with the guitar tuned and setup where you like your action to be. Then start checking intonation (again use a real tuner, no clip ons, kthx)
Yes, this is done with an in-line Korg tuner.
if you very lightly fret the B, is it in tune or sharp?
I swear to the FSM my Boss tuner has had the same batteries since I was in high school and still works.
Something is hinky, it’s very sharp, even lightly touched. (B note)
How long have you had it? Guessing early 90s?
I think I got mine somewhere around 2000 or so? Just saw they discontinued it a few years back.

It’s...ancient then
Mmmkay!
I have to say though, that clip on Korg is amazeballs, and easier to use than the Boss man.

Could be nut height issues. If the nut isn’t cut deep enough then you’ll have to press harder and move the string farther to get it to the fret. I’d expect the first and third to be similarly problematic.
Do you set witness points when you string up a new set?
It’s a long shot, but it could also be a bad string.
saw a good video on youtube by Joe Walsh on setting up your guitar
not sure this is the best guy for the job, but some troubleshooting of the same issue.
I decided to get a bass. Left handed options are available. I have an old Peavey amp. Since Guitar Center closed, not many options are available to try them out sadly. Used Epiphone EB-0 on craigslist ftw.
Nice! What color did you get?
When you can’t decide which distortion pedal to run, run them all (okay the Pessimiser sat this one out).
Hard to see here but the Sol Invictus actually has multiple output options. I’m running one output into the Dunwich Wizard and 120 with a cab sim, and one output is going straight into the mixer, where I blend the cleaner and fuzzier signals.
Love that guy. I’ve seen that video and it made me want to sit down and have a beer with the guy.
I just got this new Vintera in white blonde and have really loved the vintage feel and sound compared to the more modern black one next to it.

Met the Guy at the laundry mat. It was whooped on. He told me of all these famous players I had not heard of who somehow played it. He was a asshole on top of that. Not wearing a mask, eating McDonalds, seemed drunk. I passed.
I took the tele to a luthier who has been building guitars for 30 year, and he was a little stumped at the tuning thing. He has a Fender fret tool, and he thinks they installed the nut a little off. Might be new neck time for me.
Good call.
Always wanted a bass-boat red Tele...I got this one for $75, but it needs a new neck.

his legato is dialed in. He’s a beast.
It's like I don't even play
I want to dismiss it as wanking, but he’s got some phrasing that feels like a real voice. It’s not my favorite style but I enjoy it.
Oops, just got a new Telecaster.
like Brittany Spears.
Pretty nifty Tele, three pickups, with one humbucker in the bridge, and what I think might be a coil tap.
Might get the blackout pickguard if the one pictured is too gauche.
