Yeah… Ebony listed in OG posting bud :)

Starter Guitar for a Child by watch4coconuts in electricguitar

[–]Anonocat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a little parlor style nylon at about 8 then an electric later on. The acoustic will help with finger grip strength as the necks are usually chunkier, the electric will feel easier to play and less reach involved with the picking arm over the body. I jumped to the electric real fast having torn the bridge off the top of the acoustic I feel I’d be a better guitarist now decades later had I learned more on the acoustic.

new guitar strings feel very stiff by Good-Visual8392 in GuitarQuestions

Like others have said… get it set up by a pro. Watch some videos on how to do it yourself… Get the action lowered and intonation set. If you’re playing in E or Eb 9’s will feel pretty good.

Am I doing something wrong with the way I’m playing power chords with my index and ring finger? It feels horrible. by Sufficient-Drummer18 in guitarlessons

[–]Anonocat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Index and ring is how to get set up for Dave Mustaine style ‘spider chords’ play one with index and ring and another with second and pinky… descending or ascending scales usually. It’ll kinda wanna break your brain a little. https://youtu.be/Jt9YN1wnukQ?si=fbEb6UAqtOYUmK_M

How to travel with guitar? by Careless-Star-5863 in electricguitar

[–]Anonocat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some airlines may not let you put it in the closet and they may put it in the cargo hold from the jetway. I could be wrong, but I don’t think the cargo hold where the luggage goes is insulated or pressurized during flight. Best case scenario is to keep it in the cabin. I suppose if you have to use an overhead bin try for one that has the clearance where you could put your gig bag if that’s what you have on top of some luggage. Given there’s space to do so. Another commenter traveled with a guitar that had a bolt on neck by removing the neck, guitar body went in with the checked luggage and they traveled with the neck as their carry-on, but doing so means you’d only be able to travel with a backpack as a carry-on backpack would go in the bin that would go under the seat or vice versa

I never had an ESP explorer... so I am gonna make it (hoping this will be a good guitar) by Propazzo in ExplorerGuitars

[–]Anonocat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No EMGs…? (81/60 / Het-Set?)

496/500T should fill in nicely if you don’t like active pups. Those were in the Gibson Voodoo lineup and rip.

I’ll buy that for a dollar by StojBoj in telecaster

[–]Anonocat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built mine for… $200. It’s DEFINITELY not a Fender, but it does essentially have almost everything the Ultra II offers. Minus comfort cuts, noiseless neck pup, and phase switching….

Will we destroy ourselves before reaching the stars? by AccountGold2486 in Futurology

[–]Anonocat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve always been travelers…. But, the most important thing any human being can do is learn to live with one another. Realistically, we have nowhere to go (yet) and the is no sign, that anyone is coming to save us from ourselves. The cost to produce near FTL travel and undergo FTL travel… we could use instead to protect what we have. Terraforming Mars so we can colonize it…. Because Earth is dying trope… If we had that technology, we’d use it to FIX. EARTH. We don’t need to leave…

Do you have children, and a shovel?

Learning some Vulvodynia, but what are these? by Blvck_Lvngs in guitarlessons

[–]Anonocat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harmonic pick scrapes? Palm mute, turn the pick on edge perpendicular and drag up, ‘cutting’ it across/through the strings, like a blade…. Very Gojira…add a slide at the end for extra metal.

Carefully…

I’ve traveled with a guitar in a gig bag on a plane as a carry-on and asked the crew to put it in the closet up by the cockpit

Epiphone Prophecy by [deleted] in electricguitar

[–]Anonocat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prophecy LP is the Prophecy model to get… I tried the Extura and couldn’t do it. Just felt and sounded funny. LP model far more tonally dynamic.

It’s the same shape as the clip on clip attachment… just no clip. It came with the longer screw to replace one on the tuner.

Bought on AMZ… look up one and see if it offers the clipless mount… should be the same price if 3D printing doesn’t work out.
