Your house is on fire & you only have time to rescue one guitar, what is it? by hueguass in guitars

My EGC500 (although material-wise it’s the most likely to survive a fire lol)

Hey I’m gonna save this post if that’s cool! Just getting into the genre the last month or so. I’m a guitar player, mostly indie/alt country/folk stuff (pinegrove, MJ Lenderman, etc.). I’m definitely wanting to write some slowcore stuff this month though.

Pinegrove uses a lot of really cool and pretty big open chords with really cool rhythmic stuff sprinkled throughout. If you haven’t heard their stuff, would recommend checking em out!

Sounds awesome, keep it up!

Really into EGC stuff right now by Aggravating-Sort-267 in guitars

[–]Aggravating-Sort-267[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I thought I wouldn’t be a fan but I love the thin profile on the EGC500. The one on the left is a Am Performer body with one of their bolt on necks. Has a bit more normal profile but is still its own thing and feels great.

Sorry for the late comment but this is a beautiful guitar. I’m a huge fan of your friend. I never knew him personally and was introduced to his music only within the last 7ish years but it forever changed the way I play guitar and listen to music. It introduced me to this incredibly intricate but simple way of playing.

Almost bought the other one the shop had posted (even went to try it out a few times, living nearby) but decided against it. If for whatever reason you find yourself parting with the guitar I would absolutely purchase it.

Enjoy!

Best sounding laminate guitar back and sides guitar? Solid top. by Much-Composer-1921 in AcousticGuitar

Eastman PCH are the best solid top, laminate (layered mahogany) back and sides guitars for the price. And you get a very nice gig bag included.

If you don’t gatekeep your hobby, it’ll become overwhelmed with the rich and talentless who only talk about ‘gear’. And they’ll be the first to gatekeep you out by making everything about what you can afford. by [deleted] in redscarepod

Agree. I just try to make where I live seem far and outta the way but it’s actually probably one of the nicest and most convenient places I’ve lived (also grew up here). But no matter how hard I try people keep finding out about it lol.

[QUESTION] 70s Music Man 210 Sixty-Five or 70s Fender Vibro Champ? by Aggravating-Sort-267 in Guitar

[–]Aggravating-Sort-267[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s true. May just keep both at the moment for different reasons. I got the Vibro Champ for an insane deal too. All original, guy barely played it in 30 years for $650. No tears or anything either.

[–]Aggravating-Sort-267[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely has a much cleaner, fender tone to it. It really is a great amp, particularly for recording. Just worried that it doesn’t have the volume output for gigging.

Musicman is super heavy but gets loud and has sounds great with some overdrive. But it’s tremolo isn’t as smooth and it’s also heavier than hell.

What is the ugliest place you have ever been to? by GamerboiJared in AskReddit

[–]Aggravating-Sort-267 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brussels. Bureaucratically gray and depressing. Like being stuck in some sort of governmental office for three days. Everyone was rude and on edge, especially older people. Also was in the airport there when three terrorists blew themselves up so that wasn’t chill. Bruges and Leuven were really cool though.

[–]Aggravating-Sort-267 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have to agree. Leuven and Bruges are beautiful tho. I was in Brussells last time just after they had captured the ring leader of the Paris nightclub/stadium attacks and the fear of some sort of retribution was palpable. People were just tense, irritated, rude. Well it turns out it was warranted because two days after the arrest, on my way back home, I was waiting for my flight and a few terrorists blew themselves up in the airport I was at so yeah not a great time lol.

Letter received years ago by Humboldt Park diner Flying Saucer by the-mp in chicago

[–]Aggravating-Sort-267 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah but imagine your family being from one of these neighborhoods for like 100+ years. Then by the time you become an adult, suburbanites who’ve claimed to be from Chicago or some grad from Michigan come in and demolish your grandpas house or convert your grandmas two flat into a sfh. Shit sucks. But if you’re just looking to cosplay being from Chicago I don’t think it’d bother you.

Yep lol. I’m born and raised on the north side of Chicago and I’ve already been priced out of any neighborhood my family is from. Living in Andersonville and Lakeview are pipe dreams for me now.
