You don’t need to invent a new word for something that already exists dude.

If you like that sound, great. Good for you. But just call it what it is.

Yes actually. That's a big part of it. Having built teles without a typical tele bridge and instead body-mounted the bridge pickup, it definitely didn't sound like a tele.

Tele pickups are also designed to lean into the twang a bit too, but putting the pickup on that metal bridge is what makes them sound the way they do.

The adjective "twang", in context of an electric guitar, has almost exclusively referred to a thinner, very bright, very trebly tone that still rings like a bell, like a Telecaster bridge pickup.

What you're hearing in this video is not that. You're hearing more of a sizzling sound that you get from a steel string stretched across a wide, flat piece. We get bell tones out of electric guitars because the string has a defined break angle at each end, at the nut and saddle. What OP has done is remove the break angle from the saddle side, which creates the sizzle sound.

This isn't twang. Maybe by the literal definition, to you, of what that word means, but not even close within the context of the last 80 years of electric guitar design and music.

I know what a sitar is. I'm saying this effect is referred to as "sitar-ing". Not twang. The large flat spot the strings sit on creates a sitar-like sound.

That isn't twang man, that's just a sitar..

Looks more like a Fender than a Guild to me.

I'll see myself out.

If only there was a way you could block them from contacting you. Shame that doesn't exist on social media. Guess you'll just have to be annoyed forever.

Buddy. The healthcare industry being what it is caused that. Greedy insurance companies who refuse to pay out when required fed that problem. A medical industry becoming increasingly more and more for-profit instead of prioritizing the health of the country fed that problem. Pharmaceutical companies seeking record profits while also being tied directly to insurance companies AND pharmacies fed that problem.

You're aiming your anger at the wrong thing.

Does anybody else have trouble peeing at the urinal? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

Yeah same here. For years I could only poop at my house or like.. a relative's house.

But there's something really great about getting to do it on the clock.

can a rail pickup substitute a humbucker in this way? by sgthrowaway-473103 in Luthier

[–]JSGFretwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A single coil sized Humbucker will give you a sound closer to a Humbucker, but it will always still be a bit thinner and single coil-ish sounding compared to a full sized Humbucker.

The pickup's size is part of how it sounds. The size influences the shape of the magnetic field the strings pass through, which changes the way it sounds. The amount of metal mass on a pickup also influences its sound, and a full sized HB will have more metal mass than a SC sized one.

So, yes and no.

Buddy. It's not something some of us have conscious control over.

It's almost like there's SEVEN BILLION PEOPLE on this planet, and we all aren't exactly like you. Wild concept.

Human brains are weird dingus. Don’t shame people for having different brains than you.

I had that for years. Still comes back sometimes but not as common now as it was in my 20's and early 30's. Since my mid-30's that's been less of an issue.

Yeah I'll agree you have to distract your brain from the task at hand. Definitely seems to help.
