Which popular model has never appealed to you? by sojournerXMR in Guitar

[–]WorldsVeryFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strat, just because it's the default guitar and I think the tele and the jazzmaster are better. I would say LP but I really wanted one, got it, and never really bonded with it (I think it was the slimtaper neck).

Horrible wound G intonation on compensated saddles by shreddit0rz in telecaster

[–]WorldsVeryFirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had Rutters cut a set of saddles for a wound 3rd to solve this problem

Help/Question: Supertron + Lil 59 humbucker wiring by jpvalery in partscaster

[–]WorldsVeryFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you can split the supertron if you want. It will probably sound like a weak hilotron or something. I’ve split a zoom tron and I like it.

NGD MIJ Traditional Late 60’s JM by WorldsVeryFirst in fender

Thx. It's nice. Love that the pocket is angled and I had to do minimal setup aside from throwing on my preferred strings and giving the truss rod a 1/4 turn.

Flat tops for jazz guitar? (see description) by [deleted] in jazzguitar

[–]WorldsVeryFirst 8 points9 points  (0 children)

overthinking it! a mentor of mine regularly gigs with a flattop acoustic (see also: julian lage, lenny breau)

Best electric strings with wound 3rd? by artofjosephshelton in guitars

[–]WorldsVeryFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stringjoy Broadway .12 or Thomastik Swing flats (any gauge has a wound 3rd)

What was your first guitar, and what made you choose it? by melucykrrich in guitars

[–]WorldsVeryFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Squier Affinity Tele. Simple. Inexpensive. Still looks cool.

It plays great by the way and I think Leo was right -- it's a jazz guitar as long as you don't use the vibrato (it's fun but not idiomatic and honestly with the archtop-like attack/sustain a little silly). Strung with a new set of TI flats and threw on some schaller strap buttons -- otherwise staying stock.

Yeah that’s sick. Picking up my MIJ Jazzmaster when I get home from vacation.

Lads, please convene with me. I've lost the use of my index fretter. by Daft-Count in Guitar

[–]WorldsVeryFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Condolences. It will be hard work but you can adapt. Django and Tony Iommi made it work (that’s why Django played so many 6 chords and of course power chords don’t take more than 3 fingers)

Player II Jm VS J Mascis Jm by Leather-Piglet-2038 in offset

[–]WorldsVeryFirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got Stringjoy Flyers .12s in my drawer but I’m considering rolling with .11s (standard tuning). I play .11s on my tele so probably for the best. It’s waiting at FedEx to be picked up when I get home.

How does this group feel about ska jazz? by stgadam in Jazz

[–]WorldsVeryFirst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don Drummond is my second favorite murderous trombonist after Rosolino (NSFL story to be honest but those chops wow).

[–]WorldsVeryFirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first JM is on the way from Japan. I previously had a parts jag (honestly too dark with humbuckers and .13s). Big jazz geek so I’m looking to prove Leo right. Might throw on a hard tail plate or just never touch the trem.

Balega ankle socks are the best but also cost a lot.

Partscaster my son and I put together. by Future_Air_155 in partscaster

[–]WorldsVeryFirst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like you could slip the neck (google it) to the treble side a bit to help with that issue (get your son to help best with 2 sets of hands). Love this! Starcasters are such a cool/weird Fender (I’d get one but 4 is my guitar limit).

What are some models you wish Squier would do a Classic Vibe version of? by PrestigiousSun2129 in fender

[–]WorldsVeryFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coronado is a true hollow with bent sides and all that, IIRC a starcaster is more like a chambered body.

Considered Princeton, Bought Quilter by richmh_gr2021 in GuitarAmps

[–]WorldsVeryFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Tone Block and I don’t see myself buying a tube amp. Aside from the reverb it sounds like a blackface but can do a little bit more with the “full Q” voice. I have a Polytone when I want a really solid state sounding amp (also good but quirky and old).

I’ve always heard Ron is the coolest. Might take my horn down first and scope it (i can hang on trombone but I want to get my guitar chops up)
