The Guitar Pron Thread

[Deej 76080]

For someone who has no idea what they're getting into, the Katana 50 is perfect. Cheap, lots of built in effects and models, even more if you plug it into a computer, and you can get a feel for those effects and amps before you go down the rabbit hole of buying gear.

They really shouldn't sound that good.

I also just noticed they make a bass version.

So, for a long time acoustic finger picker, who wants to noodle around on this thing, what would be the best option for a small practice amp, and maybe some basic effects pedals?  I have no idea what I'm getting into.

Anybody remember this pair? I've never posted them on the new site. I keep them at my Mom's place and let all the family play them as they wish. A friend asked to borrow the Tele for a gig tonight, Im looking forward to listening to it.

Right? They look like just necks and pickguards against that wall.

Sounds like a Telecaster should. A lot of love for this guitar tonight.

Where is that?

Lakeside Tavern. Bosqueville, Texas. Just outside Waco.

 

I moved here when i was a kid. My Mom still lives here. There used to be a bait store a few acers over. Then they started selling beer. By the 90's when i moved away they had some tables so you drink beer there. Then they built a bar. Eventually it morphed into a full on honky tonk - they dont even sell minnows behind the bar anymore. I tell everybody that if it had been this way in the 90's I night have never left.

 

I just sat in for a couple songs last night and we played some blues. Otherwise it was mostly country and that Tele sounded great for it in my frends hands.

[Deej 76080]

Not selling minnows behind the bar would make me move away.

Heres a short clip somebody texted me this morning; hence to poor quality..

Some good deals over there. Tempting.

[tbone_ 13968]

Holy shit. Brian Setzer hot rod model for $1200.

 

Damn.

 

Is Adorama legit?

[AnotherUTFan 9544]

Yes, I bought my Deluxe Tele from them on one these blow outs a couple years ago. So did mileslong.

 

 

 

 

[Celery Man 20535]

any of y'all looking for a last minute Christmas present for me - any of the Gretsches on that link that have a bird's name (penguin, falcon), or if you're a bit tighter in the wallet this season, I'll take the mint green 6118.  PM for shipping info

[Buzzrock 14775]

I think the Penguin is my favorite. The Falcon is legend but too big for my tastes.

[tbone_ 13968]

Tried to buy that black setzer. Sold out. Damn.

[AnotherUTFan 9544]

The Penguin is nice, the '57 or '59 Duo Jet. Or, channel your inner Billy Zoom!

[tbone_ 13968]

Yea I’ve played a couple jets recently. I like them but I have the solid body thing covered.

I want a big fat hollow body. And I liked the $1299 price on that setzer.

[Celery Man 20535]

Jets are basically semi hollow. Chambered, but “inside removed” chambered rather than “holes drilled in the body” chambered a la Gibson.

FUCK levy’s thickass straps that you cannot possibly get over a medium sized strap button

[Deej 76080]

Nothing music related for Christmas, but I did find my 1962 reissue Sorrento with mini humbuckers through the Supro Thunderbolt on the 35 watt setting may be the best clean tone I can get out of any of my gear. So, Merry Christmas to me.

Here's phd jr's rig I bought for Xmas... really sweet intro git and that Squier Frontman amp down there is an awesome little porta, puts out a lot of volume and it's a blast to play with the gain/vol to get the overdrive.  Fun little combo.  The boy has been on it almost 24/7 since yesterday.  Diggin' him diggin' it.

(yeah those are socks... lol the boy doesn't want to scratch it up so he has socks covering the metal/rubber).

[Chad Fuck 17259]

The boy takes care of his shit.  Good job PhD!

[Celery Man 20535]

I can’t get the strap over the button, and it’s thicker than the space between the button and the body, so the grolsch trick won’t be helpful. I remember why I don’t like Levy’s straps.

I got my nephew the same set up thanks to this thread.  He went crazy over it!  It was so much fun to watch him to unwrap it.  He opened the amp first and said, "I don't know what this is but it looks cool!"  Then, when he opened the guitar he lit up.  I did not expect that level of excitement as his mom only casually mentioned that he was interested.

[Celery Man 20535]

ha, missed the socks on the guitar stand.  that means he likes it a lot.  good job

[AnotherUTFan 9544]

The only thing that would make that better is if they showed the "HM" or "The Strat" for the 90s, then reverting back to the original for the 2000s.

Would it have killed them to match the grain? (Probably)

This was my thought.  Perhaps they didn't have matching and this was a good use of what was left over around the shop.

That Tele/Jazzmaster/Supro-style pickgaurd though.  Tasty.

Stupid Deal of the Day is a Breedlove Pursuit Concert Sitka-Koa Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Whisky Burst for $460, normally $799.

When Guitar Center says "Open Box," they mean someone opened the box and took a chisel to the finish.  But frankly, I got it for 31% off, and despite at least 6 dings through the finish, it is basically new and I am smitten.  I'm kind of glad it has some dings.  A little wear never hurt a Fender, and I won't have to have that sinking feeling when I add to the collection. 

This may play as well out of the box as any Fender I ever have owned.  And I'm sure they took no effort to set it up.  The action is good.  It doesn't buzz.  It will fret out if I bend more than a whole step on a high B string, but that supposedly is par for the course with the 7.25" fretboard, which I must admit is super comfortable to play.  The rosewood looks superb.  The frets have not sprouted despite its trip from MN. 

Sounds nice and spanky like a good tele.
