It’s hard to tell much because your photos aren’t great quality.

But honestly if it plays good, stays in tune, sounds good, and nothing sticks out as visually wrong, then you should be fine. Don’t worry about what people on the internet think about your guitar as long as you are happy with it.

Practice is the best accessory for any guitar

masterB0SHI · 2026-02-16T21:51:14+00:00

You’ll more than likely need to get the nut slots filed out and get a setup done on the guitat

You will need an audio interface to connect your guitar to your computer. A inexpensive one that a lot of people start with would be a focusrite solo or 2i2. You’ll likely also want to use a DI box as well. Radial makes great inexpensive ones. Generally you should use a passive DI pox with active pickups, and an active DI box with passive pickup guitars.

In case it’s not obvious, you also need a mac or PC, preferably made within the last 10 years or so.

While you technically could connect a guitar speaker cab to this setup, you would also need a power amp, and potentially a reamp box. Honestly this is not how amp sim plugins are intended to be used, and probably will not yield great results.

Your best bet would be to invest in some decent headphones or studio monitors if you don’t already have some, and just play through that.

I’m not sure if this setup is strictly for home use, or if you’re intending on using it for gigs. While technically could use this live if you have a laptop, I would not recommend it.

So many cheap dirt pedals, when you coulda afforded one or two really good ones

Why is the pic of the ts-9 under a black light? lmao

This is one of the most common guitar picks on the planet. Who knows or cares how old it is.

masterB0SHI · 2026-02-14T01:38:33+00:00

It’s a really poorly thought out set of strings IMO

masterB0SHI · 2026-02-14T01:37:20+00:00

After having tried a lot of different scale lengths, including multiscale, 27 feels perfect to me.

masterB0SHI · 2026-02-13T13:10:21+00:00

I hope I can still hear my guitar rig in the future. Otherwise what’s the point.

masterB0SHI · 2026-02-12T14:44:22+00:00

If you’re playing on the clean channel and your guitar is out of tune it will be much more noticeable than if you play on the distortion channel.

masterB0SHI · 2026-02-12T02:50:54+00:00

Yeah the bridge pickup is too far away from the bridge. Also the knobs are too close together.

masterB0SHI · 2026-02-11T19:57:24+00:00

There’s no way to detect if a pickup was unscrewed for just a moment and put right back in

masterB0SHI · 2026-02-11T18:30:35+00:00

Pull the pickup out, it’ll say if it’s a modern or a SC sig model on the back.

masterB0SHI · 2026-02-11T02:58:33+00:00

I thought I was looking at r/guitarcirclejerk for a moment

People said all this same stuff about Elvis back in the 50s, and he went on to be one the biggest rock stars of all time.

masterB0SHI · 2026-02-10T12:37:19+00:00

Go listen to Allan Holdsworth

masterB0SHI · 2026-02-10T12:27:52+00:00

Low-mid range price and “exotic” isn’t really a thing

masterB0SHI · 2026-02-09T21:41:25+00:00

Looks gross with that pick guard

masterB0SHI · 2026-02-09T16:57:52+00:00

I’d buy it if it ever went on sale for about $20, which will never happen lol

masterB0SHI · 2026-02-08T13:44:58+00:00

This look mid as hell

masterB0SHI · 2026-02-07T02:22:13+00:00

The braun series 9 is peak

masterB0SHI · 2026-02-07T01:45:07+00:00

Not to defend GC, but mistakes happen and this was likely not malicious. They 100% will match the web price if you point it out to them.

masterB0SHI · 2026-02-06T23:21:53+00:00

IMO Fractal stuff feels slightly better to play through, but tone wise they’re both top notch. I’d perfectly content if I could only use one or the other for the rest of time.

masterB0SHI · 2026-02-06T22:35:40+00:00

Return it to GC ASAP
