Any USA made guitar that isn't a Fender or Fender clone then
Ethan Ramirez
Bedroom player thinking about upgrading amp after buying a cheap one.
I was thinking of getting a Katana 50? Or will getting a cheap, low wattage, tube amp be better?
Asher Stewart
I just started playing and I'm already getting a little better. I still can't switch between chords and stuff really smooth but it feels kinda good to be able to play a riff from one of your favorite albums
Josiah Jones
/gg/ cant afford suhrs and fender utlras tho so >$3000 for a used suhr!?
>well looks like im gonna buy a used les paul standard for $1500 instead
>only a gibson is good enough
Oliver Clark
Thinking about upgrading from a Beaner strat since I have some money now. Feels kind of boring to just move up to an american strat. What are telecasters like?
Fuck I wish everything wasn’t closed
Thomas Brown
Guys, what's your opinion on schecter guitars? Is there something to worry about? what was your experience, when playing on one
Leo Young

>Replacing your cheap practice amp with a cheap practice amp
Are you gigging? Are you jamming with friends? Wait until you at least have a chance of doing one of those and then get the amp that fits your style. If you haven't even done of those once you don't know what you really want or need. If you're fucking around in your bedroom and recording, a PC interface and an amp sim sounds just as good as a katana and cost a lot less. Granted it can only get as loud as the speaker you connect to the interface's monitoring out, but that's probably more than you need anyways.
Good deal on the used market, shitty deal brand new. MIM fender quality.
Colton Cox
Get the katana. It'll give you a lot more options, ability to play thru headphones, and the ability to record line out if you need to. What matters most is whats usable for you right now.
Lucas Morales
sry, missclicked mention.
Benjamin Sanchez
sweet.
Owen Smith
>Music is fun but guitars are tools. Tools that warp, break, or don't work properly in the first place are junk no matter how much you like the logo and paying extra for a tool that comes fucked up is just retardation.
>So is giving disreputable tool brands with clear and present design flaws a chance because "dude new things lol".
i dunno why people buy gibson electrics either. they're clearly an acoustic guitar and mandolin company with no clue how to make a good electric.
Jordan Reyes
Nice acoustic man. How is it?
You enjoying it? I know I'm enjoying my LP.
Xavier Long
katanas sound like shit live and good directly recorded
going with this guy . wait until you need an amp instead of just wanting one
>be you
>buy low watt tube amp
>"come jam with us user"
>amp is on full fart mode
>still drowned out by the drummer
>trade for katana 50
>still too quiet until the amp has no headroom left
>oh darn you should have bought the katana 100
Jackson Baker
Haven't had much time to play it. Working from home but I did play for about 30 minutes on my lunch break. God damn this thing is nice.
Charles Lee
>music video that is a spoof of an efukt vid that is a spoof a some weird weird monkey porn vid that is a spoof of the 70s Ape Movies reboots that were all derived from the Planet of the Apes.
John5 is a degenerate
Mason Wright
nice, that shipped pretty quick
Ian Miller
Thoughts and opinions? Would this be overkill for a first electric guitar? It's sorta like a Jaguar.
Levi Richardson
not a fan of the shape, but it's a guild, I'm sure it sounds fine
Isaac Long
Holy based
Jack Hernandez
>Would this be overkill for a first electric guitar?
Yes
William Garcia
If you can buy it for less than $600 and you're an adult with a job it's perfectly fine.
Jason Parker
Do it
Charles Baker
if you're going to buy an ugly offset, at least get a Firebird
Anthony Barnes
So, this Asian shitplank is good because it says Guild on the headstock, but other Asian shitplanks aren't?
Nathan Myers
I've been trying to form a band with no luck. I'll try your advice and wait for a bit more.
Christian Morales
it is just a plank of wood that holds the strings, nut, tuners, pickups, and bridge
the wood doesn't matter at all but the rest of that does and guild uses better shit than budget cast tuneomatics and EMGs like schecter
Ian Anderson
Daniel Long
I've actually wanted a gibson Firebird for longer, but this was a bit cheaper, and it appeals to my desire for a weird, offset, vintage-like guitar with a good sound.
Also based Muddy Waters is famous for it.

People seriously still believe this?
Samuel Anderson
Should have got a dean trans am.
Carson Cruz
>he doesn't take the backplate off his strat for maximum tone
>he doesn't tune his strat a half step down for max tone
>he doesn't lower the pickups on his strat for max tone
>he didn't properly intonate his strat for max tone
>he doesn't make his strat low action for max tone and playability
>he doesn't adjust the truss rod to make the neck straight for max tone
>he doesn't scoop the mids on his amp for max tone
>he doesn't apply a mix of vibrato, reverb, chorus, and delay to his clean sound for maximum tone
never going to make it. if you own a strat you HAVE to do these things.
Brandon Hernandez
The other top guitars that I want are said Gibson Firebird, and a Yamaha Flying Samurai, either a vintage sg model, or the newer sgv line.
Caleb Sullivan
Rhythm is all over the place
Angel Brooks
ok hitler
Nathaniel Torres
Listen to the other anons, and practice on it until you know what you need. Don’t fall for shills and consoomers to buy a katana 50 when you already have a practice amp. It took me 7 years to know I need a mid watt tube amp and only now I am searching for one. You might not need 7 years to figure out, for me it’s just a hobby after all. I have a Mustang I v2, really shitty amp but I learned to play gatar with it and that was the point of it.
Nathan Turner
It's all in the hands brah
Wyatt Brown
When people want you to man up, but you just want to play the blues on an American SSH strat
Jaxon Nguyen
What about this?
Wyatt Hall
Had no idea this guitar existed, but this definately looks like something I'd want next.
Dominic Williams
Its pretty neat.
Andrew Murphy
That's just wild
Thomas Evans
i want a red one with a NOID sticker on it
Lucas Jackson
>takes 2 gibson designs and combines them
"yup we are innovative"
also slight iceman vibe
fags
Aaron Williams
Xavier Diaz
I used to be open to oddball designs. This was at the top of the list. These days, just give me a Strat and I'm happy.
