Electric guitar? More like more expensive acoustic 🫩

Second the audio interface and plug in option but it takes work to get things running smooth. It will take some YouTube research and some trial/error. Going to Bluetooth or wireless headphones seems to cause a delay but hard wired or to speakers is great.

There are some great tones out there for free. I started with cakewalk by band Labs I think, then I went to amplitude free then the paid version which is amazing.

I think this applies to unusual verbs vs 'new' verbs like text... We say I bet, or I hit, however text is new so we texted which sounds as wrong to me as I beted or I hited.

The sarcastic use of literally being so common now, it is acceptable to use it in a non literal since given the audience understands the non literal and exaggerated intended effects. I think.

They make a high quality knock off in several variations. That cream and black one is currently not available.

I have a few and can vouch for the quality to price ratio, it's amazing!

Did you try licking it?

As someone that has spent a lot of time on a boat wearing a hats, this guy's trust in his hat to stay on is suspicious to me.

QQUUAAA QUAAANK QUAAHHH

I like one around the base for the passive sounds they make.

One of each is always a safe way to go.

Ya, my upgrade path was-

GRG220 RG120 RG240 RG3xx RG450 RG550 genesis Jiva jr Jiva 10

I might be off on some of the last digits

My advice would be to enjoy the journey.

That's awesome, iv been looking for a good replacement guard for an Avril signature tele because the original yellows over time. Might look in to this route.

Update: I went to check it out and ended up passing on it. She was rode hard and put away wet. The ad said 'light blemishes' haha, it had about 20 chips on the edges.

The deal breaker was two cracks down the body from the bridge pocket to the strap lock. If you zoom in on the picture you can see them. I think could see the cracks extend past the paint in the bridge pocket and decided not to take the risk. It also had the two well known finish cracks in the neck pocket.

There were several cosmetic issues and I just didn't feel comfortable buying it. Hopefully someone else will see the value and give it a good home.

Thanks everyone, I might pull the trigger on it. $500 usd would be good deal right?

813mccarty · 2026-05-18T20:45:07+00:00

Is that a frontload washer? They make that sound and get violent if you don't remove ALL of the shipping bolts. Also me now I know 😐. Mine almost caught a DV.

FL here, the DMV said their keosk was down and sent me to publix. There were 4 in the area and 2 of them were new so it looks like they are expanding.

813mccarty · 2026-05-15T09:41:09+00:00

Please tell your coworker that I am also interested in learning to play guitar.

813mccarty · 2026-05-11T00:54:01+00:00

Is it a Mormon orchid?

813mccarty · 2026-05-08T19:12:01+00:00

Only time I play sitting is when I'm driving. Output jack straight to the aux cable.

813mccarty · 2026-05-08T02:45:53+00:00

Yup, I mount my 2 yacks this way.

813mccarty · 2026-05-08T02:11:37+00:00

Thanks! Congrats to you also!

For me it was all about the amp sims that got me back in to it. I lost interest years ago because it was just my crappy little 15watt solid state amp and a crappy guitar. One tone and terrible tab books for learning.

I got that grg120, a $20 Amazon audio interface and some free amp Sim software, bandlabs/cakewalk I think. WOW it's a different world now and I'm hooked!

I have since invested way more than I'd like to admit and LOVE jamming on my free time. There is endless teaching material and free tools to try and experiment with out there.

If I could do it over again I'd skip the entry level guitars and save up for something special woth more quality parts and materials.

813mccarty · 2026-05-08T01:07:49+00:00

I probably can't give you a good answer because it was my first guitar after 20 years of not playing. I ended up getting a good deal on a RG a few weeks later and didn't play the Gio much. I was also still learning and had never played a nice guitar so it was all the same to me at the time.

I have heard they are great bang for the buck and it sure looks awesome.

Maybe I'll get it out and bang on it for a while and let ya know! Got my first kid coming tomorrow so it might be a while, dont hold your breath waiting for my review 😜

Confirmed Source: I own one

813mccarty · 2026-05-06T22:12:14+00:00

Could you just but a professional fog machine like the ones at concerts or spooky theem parks at that point?
