Anyone?

>>40594377
get this instead

>>40595296

I do want a hollow body at some point, but for a band I'm potentially forming I need something with a long neck that can be tuned low. I'd love an eastman or one ibanez's hollowbodies when I get better at jazz though.

>>40594377
>not wanting this instead
metalfag pls

>>40595424

hollow > semi, the tone just isnt as crisp with a semi, atleast in the one's i've heard

Good luck when that Floyd rose breaks. Also changing strings in the pain.

>>40594377

>I don't know what that is exactly

Then you're in for a rude awakening.

>>40595371
why do you want the floyd rose? many guitars have great intonation and can be tuned low without them.
pic related.
also, check out some of the smaller overseas custom shops, you can pretty much get an exact copy of your chosen guitar within 1400 or so:

I was really just going to get it because I already own two electric guitars without one, so I figured why not get one this time around. I'm starting to think it might not be a worth investment.

>>40594377

>hurr guize, im gettin mah first floyd rose XD

you kids make the rest of us look bad

>>40595855
>I'm starting to think it might not be a worth investment.

its not, only metalfags and vai fans think it is.
also, start listening to good music op, your pleb taste shows through your guitar choice

>inb4 thread is spammed with dean and schecter

>>40595957

/mu/ only likes Jazzmasters and Jaguars. Shit taste all around.

most of gibson is plebbish, but the hollowbodys are nice

Floyd Roses are fun and you can do a lot of interesting things with whammys.

I know that feel bro. You're fucking up with the actives though.

>>40596247
>>40596287
It's an ESP

>>40596287
I'm not a fan of hollow bodies, the sound is so static compared to solids. And schecter is to gibson as ibanez is to fender, same but better.

>>40596325
happy? the gibson jazz guitars arent actually bad

>>40596402
At the end of the day, I'd rather just have a custom built guitar.

>>40594377
Prepare for fucking agony. It takes 15 fucking minutes just to tune the bloody things. Sometimes it requires having to tune it through the springs in the back, other times the headstock is all you need, and then other times the fine tuners are the saviour of the universe; all while having to keep the thing at point zero. It's also terrible to balance if you use hybrid string gauges.

If you do decide to go Floyd way, you might wanna consider blocking the bridge; otherwise, you could look at something like what I got, http://www.ibanez.co.jp/products/eg_page13.php?area_id=2&data_id=66&color=CL01&year=2013&cat_id=1&series_id=147

>schecter is to gibson as ibanez is to fender, same but better.

What.

>>40596389
>Ibanez better than Fender

Goddamn you have no idea what you are talking about. You'll probably grow up eventually though

>>40596389
>I'm not a fan of hollow bodies, the sound is so static compared to solids.
But that's backwards.
Hollowbodies have "air" and harmonics that solid bodies don't have because they're solid chunks of wood.

>>40596473
>Implying ibanezes aren't just the same thing
>Implying that fenders can do exactly everything ibanezes do
>Implying

string change: loosen locking nuts, detune strings loose, set fine tuners halfway, cut strings at first fret, loosen locking bridge pins, remove strings, spin tuners straight, feed strings thru tuners under string tree, cut ~1.5" past bridge pin hole, insert strings in bridge, tighten bridge pins, tune guitar low->high several times, tighten locking nuts

it's super easy

fucking retards, the both of you

>>40596688
slightly better than Ibanez. They don't play very well, at least the one I've played, lose tuning quickly, and I don't like the body style.

No anon. Cry to your greatest ally and stop getting defensive because you regret your purchase.

Generally, /mu/ goes out of its way to hate anything "metal" related. It's a shame, really.

Accurate list

>>40596389

They have 'static' because you don't use hollowbodies for Metal you retard.

>>40596995
>implying the size of the neck means shit when you're doing that kind of tapping

And these fucking hipsters are supposed to be ahead of the curve.

>>40596997

compare well known guitar players to well known saxophone players. there you have it

I want to pour saus over it and eat it. You are probably the one who cooks for your band

hollowbodies resonate better, and are more suited to jazz. guitars should be seen, not heard

>>40597138
>indie pop
>not jazz or fingerstyle

>>40597105
I have never ever even seen anything like that before in my life. I have absolutely no idea where it could fit on the list at all. In saying that, the curve on the right, beside the pickups, makes it look very comfortable to have over your knee.

>>40597221
>>40597106
You're both autists. Solids and hollows can both be equally effective at jazz

>>40597139

> implying an instrument sucks because plebs care about a 4/4 chord progression and penta solo

From a musical standpoint the guitar is a great instrument based on how many octaves and possibilities it offers. trend plebs will acknowledge that about a guitar as much as they will acknowledge all the great second generation jazz musicians who inspired the musicians their parents fucked to

>>40597156

It's not my guitar and I'm not in one. I was just curious about what /mu/ thinks of it. I've heard it before and I guess it could be used for whatever. That model in particular, at least. I think the Corvus III has a single coil in the neck and middle with a humbucker in the bridge. Kinda interested in one.

>>40597252

There's a lot of interesting Gibson guitars that didn't sell well.

>>40597305
play it long enough, and you realise all your "shredding" and extended chords are put to shame by piano players with ease

>>40597423
Sure, but how do you vibrato on a Steinway?

>>40597423

shredding is neat and all, but even on piano you hear plenty of pianist who just write the same epic piece with a lot of arpeggios( if that's what pianist refer to them as) over the chords. what it comes down to me is if it sounded good. some people just shred to shred and impress, some people can pick up a guitar that hasnt had the strings changed in ten years and a tape recorder and record something that sounds awesome

>>40597423

>>40597631
i play the tenor, ive played in enough band situations to know to steer clear of guitar players

>>40597568
except when piano players show off, they embarrass pretty much everyone; when they want to sound "good" they still shit on guitar players. vid related
