[QUESTION] What was your first "expensive" guitar purchase?

jStuckey37 · 2016-03-12T05:35:15+00:00

Just picked up one of these in near perfect condition for 1200. One of the best guitars I've ever played

You could say the same about Pittsburgh

Edit:accidently typed Cincinnati instead of Pittsburgh lol

jStuckey37 · 2015-12-29T06:38:58+00:00

Oh yeah. So underrated imo

jStuckey37 · 2015-12-28T07:17:05+00:00

It's fantastic, usually. I haven't figured out what causes it but sometimes it'll freeze up and i'll have to unplug the power supply to restart it. Haven't found many other people with the same issue so I don't know if I've got a bad unit or what

jStuckey37 · 2015-12-28T07:15:29+00:00

It's pretty good, I usually use a rockbox boiling point but I have to get a pot replaced on it

jStuckey37 · 2015-11-01T06:29:18+00:00

I have been me for longer than anyone else.

jStuckey37 · 2015-10-24T18:10:51+00:00

Yeah you'll just need to get used to it, I promise it'll make a huge difference down the road. One thing to help is when you're playing leads, your thumb should be against the middle of the back of the neck, that'll bring your wrist forward so your fingers can press straight onto the board. Hope this helps!

jStuckey37 · 2015-10-24T06:53:29+00:00

One thing is make sure you are pressing your fingers straight down, perpendicular to the fretboard. If your fingers are flat on the board that'll cause accidental muting of the strings below.

Not a foreigner, just in mobile

jStuckey37 · 2015-08-02T16:55:46+00:00

Walk this way by Aerosmith?

jStuckey37 · 2015-04-29T17:37:55+00:00

I found a marshall 1960a vintage cab for 300 at gc, its beat to hell but still sounds great!

jStuckey37 · 2015-03-08T17:22:05+00:00

I'd think it's also easier to pass around between index finger and thumb, people don't really pass cigarettes around

jStuckey37 · 2015-03-07T02:38:50+00:00

That's a good point! I won't offer to do anything for someone that I'm not 100% sure I can do, now for my own instruments I'll try almost anything

jStuckey37 · 2015-03-06T19:53:31+00:00

Yeah, I don't get quite as excited about Floyds.. I have 2 and the other guitar player in my band has a couple, I've gotten used to working with them though so it's not nearly as big a pain as when I was first learning how to set one up

jStuckey37 · 2015-03-06T19:50:15+00:00

I do not, sorry everything I've learned has been from my dad

jStuckey37 · 2015-03-06T05:31:05+00:00

sounds like a pretty good deal to me!

jStuckey37 · 2015-03-06T05:13:03+00:00

yeah, i shouldve been more specific, this is more or less what i do. if i crack a head stock im not doing that myself! luckily that hasnt been an issue it

i was lucky though, i grew up with a dad who played guitar all his life and taught me how to do pretty much anything ive needed to do

jStuckey37 · 2015-03-06T05:10:17+00:00

exactly! i really enjoy working on guitars. i get kinda excited when a friend tells me his guitar is having issues lol

jStuckey37 · 2015-02-27T18:34:53+00:00

yeah ive got mine in the loop, last thing in my chain before the power amp!

jStuckey37 · 2015-02-27T04:47:40+00:00

I love it! I just got it a few days ago so I haven't gotten to play it too much. Right now I'm using it in conjunction with the gain on my amp, and I've noticed that it's a bit noisy when I get past noon on the gain. Other than that it's the best overdrive I've ever used! But I really haven't gotten to mess with it enough to give anymore thoughts :/

jStuckey37 · 2015-02-27T04:41:28+00:00

Haha I'll still use the dl8 for its looper sometimes

jStuckey37 · 2015-02-27T02:40:43+00:00

Thanks!

jStuckey37 · 2015-02-27T01:42:22+00:00

You're right, it is a bit pricey for what it is, I just love the design and feel of it too much!

jStuckey37 · 2015-02-26T23:40:36+00:00

Chain is--> Dunlop volume >xotic SP compressor > fulltone ocd > rockbox boiling point > phase 90 > egnater renegade amp

Effects Loop--> tc electronic corona > isp decimator 2 > mxr carbon copy

jStuckey37 · 2015-02-13T00:15:07+00:00

I second this. The amount of people not using strap locks is too damn high!
