My friend and I are working on a music project that combines themes/inspiration from various psychedelic rock, post rock, ambient and soundscape music. I don't mean this in a cocky way and I'm probably wrong but one of our songs just feels like a "classic" song that "makes" a band what they become, if that makes sense. It's just a very enigmatic song yet it's really simple. I hope it does well when we finish recording it, which we're doing completely by our selves. The name we are using for the project is kiiiind of cliche but I don't think it's actually used, it's a simple play on words of a title from a somewhat relevant movie icon. Too much ambiguity? good :p Will post some demo's soon. We're writing and recording any chance we get.

[QUOTE=LasGunz;28699902]I already said I knew about the quality issues in that range, in the post I assume you're replying too :p [editline]20th March 2011[/editline] Fuuuuuuuuuck me this is the first time I've seen an Ibanez and instantly fell in love with it. The look, the sound (from what I can tell in a handful of review videos). Tempting.

It looks amazing.[/QUOTE] How bout mine?

Ehhh not so much sorry. I'm kind of picky when it comes to guitar looks. It's a bit silly but if the guitar doesn't look good (to me) generally I won't be interested despite how good it may be.

I've literally taken my guitar apart and together again and still cant see what's wrong with it :smith: I guess I'll have to take it into a shop

Go for it

[QUOTE=PwnNoobsFtw;28731918]Go for it[/QUOTE] My first isn't even finished :v: Speaking of, I'll take a new pic of it. [editline]21st March 2011[/editline] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/aHfuZ.png[/IMG] The painters put their brand in the humbucker cavities, but those will be covered in copper tape :v:

I'm thinking I'm going to build a guitar in woodshop next year Trying to decide whether to do a tele shape or make my own

[QUOTE=PwnNoobsFtw;28733897]I'm thinking I'm going to build a guitar in woodshop next year Trying to decide whether to do a tele shape or make my own[/QUOTE] Make your own.

[QUOTE=PwnNoobsFtw;28733897]I'm thinking I'm going to build a guitar in woodshop next year Trying to decide whether to do a tele shape or make my own[/QUOTE] You should make an original shape, or at least a unique version of an existing shape.

Hm. My fingers smell of rust. I should replace my strings.

Yeah, I was leaning towards that too It's just that all the good shapes I can fathom at the moment are already made, and lots of bad ones too

[QUOTE=PwnNoobsFtw;28733960]Yeah, I was leaning towards that too It's just that all the good shapes I can fathom at the moment are already made, and lots of bad ones too[/QUOTE] All good shapes are taken, pretty much. I say, take a shape you like, and improve on it

Hmm, what about, a shape that is to a Telecaster what a Superstrat is to a Stratocaster? Could be interesting or horribad.

There is something about Hufschmid's I simply cannot like. I don't know what it is but something always puts me off. For one, his ideas in terms of luthierie do seem to oppose mine. He's very narrow minded in terms of what he will and won't do, which (to me), considering people are paying him to make the instrument [b]they[/b] want, is somewhat hypocritical.

And a few of his guitars do look absolutely gorgeous, like the Firedroids.

His work can be great, but knowing he made them puts me off :v:

[QUOTE=TheGuru;28735173][img_thumb]http://i51.tinypic.com/ncz0ck.jpg[/img_thumb] Something like that is what I would call a supertele :v:[/QUOTE] I want a stained wood strat with black pickup covers, black pickguard with the white layer, brass bridge, black saddles, a rosewood fretboard, and something in the back that will allow for me to put 13 strings on without any floating of the bridge. Some super big springs. I will name her betty [editline]ohwow[/editline] Now that I think about it, Black Betty is a song.

don't forget a bigsby and a boat winch for some sick dive bombs

Taking my guitar to a tech tomorrow to get it set up. £50 :\ but at least i'll pretty much never need to worry about it acting up for a long time.

A true guitar player would learn how to set up his own guitar. Besides, only the player can set it up [i]exactly[/i] how they want it.

I learned myself how to set up a guitar, it takes trial and error, with a lot of youtube videos. But now other people pay me to do it :v:
