guitars

My dream acoustic. Made with a AAAA grade German spruce top (very tight-grained, cream color which should darken nicely over time), and a unique AAAA grade, flamed kihada back and sides. Kihada comes from the Amur cork tree, an indigenous hardwood in Japan. It is very rarely found flamed like this. Mahogany neck, spoke-shaved by hand in a soft-V to C shape with satin finish. Simple and elegant appointments in a very Japanese minimalist style. Forward-shifted x bracing, and it is all hand crafted in the Yairi workshop located in the city of Kani, in the Gifu prefecture, Japan. Yairi guitars, for those who know them, are remarkable instruments. Enjoy the pics. This was one of twelve (12) created in this configuration.

“I’ve since discovered that I have an autoimmune disease,” Setzer writes on social media. “I cannot play guitar. There is no pain, but it feels like I am wearing a pair of gloves when I try to play.”

Peavey grind 6 passive bass. mahogany body, maple & mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard. 35? Inch scale.

I cannot play on time. Not in terms of missing beats, or losing the click in the middle of a song, but in that my timing is almost always off. I compared my played notes to the click in the DAW, and I'm usually rushing, sometimes by 30-40ms. I remember Adam Neely said once that 10ms is barely acceptable, so yeah.

I tried dividing the distance between clicks in my head, doubling the metronome tempo, moving with the beat, consciously conpensating for the rush, nothing helped. Therefore, my questions - how's your timing doing? What can I do to improve mine?

I wanted to test the new federated social loops.video and since I gifted myself a new holiday project I though it would be cool to document it and share it with the FOSS community here on Lemmy.

Let me know what you think, Happy Holidays to everyone.

This is an old classical guitar, it might be up to seventy years old. It buzzes with every note but it's the loudest on the G string. Please help.

Just got this vertical 4x12 from Zilla. Got it to pair with this VHX. It currently has four k100's in it, but I'm planning to swap a couple for v30's in a different cab. The vertical 4x12 with the tip-back wheels and handles are really cool - I got this thing up a couple flights of stairs myself without too much trouble, and it sounds great. I gotta say, this form factor solves a lot of problems with the typical 4x12 - posting here so hopefully more guitar nerds see it! Zilla (and Paul!) are great to work with, and make really solid stuff.

(The two on the sides I ordered a few years back when the F12-X200s came out - they built these from the reference cab specs that Celestion published, and I mostly use them with my Kemper and a Matrix GT-1000 power amp. They're also pretty rad. I've taken these out separately and run synths through that power amp and it's a killer setup for that sort of thing)

Not going to go through the whole story, but this was NOT the guitar I was looking for. It was instead the guitar that found me.

The pictures just don't do it justice, but the finish on the rosewood has this amazing 3D effect, and the tone is best described as 'magical'.

When I first picked it up and strummed it in the store I could feel it in my whole body, and my wife's comment from several feet away was, "It vibrated my soul."

Martin 00-28 Standard

Then I got fired, but now at least I'll have more time to learn to play it in the way it deserves to be played. 😅

I have a Donner Hush X and wanted to replace the pick-up selector switch.

I've unscrewed the control panel but it doesn't seem to lift off the guitar body. It might just be a bit stiff and need a little more heft; but I'm wondering if it's soldered to a PCB board and so can'e be opened up with out damaging things.

Has anyone inspected inside or found any YT videos or internal diagrams? I can't find any.

TIA 👍

PS Here’s a Dropbox link to a video of me gingerly pulling the control plate around (which wouldn’t upload to Lemmy, in the OP). https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/v7n74q9m252hxrc17f7eb/IMG_0808.mp4?rlkey=qau7d4zum0qswswwngkivenvc&dl=0

I've been working on this neosoul riff for a while now and I'm finally starting to get it, though I did have to simplify it a bit. Still needs a lot of work though.

What are you working on?

I recently picked up an electric guitar, and am using a Fender Mustang I amp a friend loaned my son. It is not a bad amp, per se. But it has built in effects that cannot be turned off, it is nice having the effects because I do not have any pedals yet. But I would like to be able to play clean sometimes.

I am looking for something about the same size. Maybe a bit bigger. It is a 1-8” 20 watt amp. Maybe something around the 50 watt area. If it has built in effects I am only interested if they can be turned off.

Bonus if anyone knows if it is possible to turn off the effects on this one.

Are we supposed to include a guitar tax here?

Always braid your cables kids, it helps with shielding

I ordered this on a whim but I am probably going to sell it. It is a wonderful guitar but I prefer a beefier neck. This guitar is absolutely ideal for someone with small hands.

Currently setup for C Standard tuning. More pictures in the comments.

EDIT: Sold
