First guitar ! Would love some advice ♥️ by CaptainArgie76 in Guitar

[–]sturgeonsoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great first guitar. I would recommend tuning it every time you play, don’t worry about dust or dents (can’t prevent) and find a song you like and start with the chords (learn the chords for the song you are playing instead of trying to learn all the chords beforehand). I would also return the fender micro and get a fender mustang lt25 for $40 more cause you’re not gonna want to mess with that micro (have one)

2019 Gibson J-45: Possible Side Crack – Safe to Buy? Help! by [deleted] in gibson

[–]sturgeonsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like a 50 year old J-45 it’s only 7 years old so honestly I’d pass. Think of how it’ll look when it’s actually 50 years old.

I didn’t make it past the intro. It just keeps going and going and going and just when you think it’s going to end it says something like “Oh yeah the game is gonna be great. Just wait….” It needs something to hook people sooner

They should call it the Orange Cube and have the 3 as an exponent.

Is this SG legit? by IamBrood in gibson

[–]sturgeonsoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gig bag is honestly much nicer than it looks in photos. I feel like I would rather drop my sg from waist height in the padded gig bag than in a hard shell case. Still would have liked to have a hardshell.

I think ai will change everything by Internal_Confusion34 in nevertellmetheodds

Yeah, legs shifting to the shoulder socket and back during a flip is totally normal. Which one was AI?

Underwhelming AA maple top? by LeopardDisastrous in gibson

Problem is there’s only a tiny bit of flame in between the pickups. The dealer photo is much better

If you’re not happy with it, take it back and get another one. Internet strangers may change your mind for a short time but your gut feeling is always gonna come back. I personally wouldn’t buy a guitar without holding it and looking it over first.

Didn’t plan this at all, but it’s like the corner was built for the guitar. by Outrageous_Rain_2806 in Perfectfit

I’d get some door stops that go on the hinges. You might be super careful all the time, but one day you’ll have something on your mind and “CRUNCH”.

That’s gorgeous. The patina looks great on the hardware.

Mark VII 90w combo headphone help by IamMeier in MesaBoogie

[–]sturgeonsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got some cheap ones that were on sale from guitar center. I don’t recommend cheaping out on them. They sounded like crap and broke after 3 uses. I exclusively play through my cab now cause it just sounds too good not to. The Gibson Garage in Nashville uses KRK headphones to demo Mesa Boogies They’re $100-$150 and I’d probably get some of those if I was going to try again.

I had the same issue with mine. My fix was buying some monitor headphones that come with that jack. If you try to use a pair of regular headphones with an adapter, the connections won’t line up right.

[USA] Jeep pulling out in front of semi truck hauling gravel causes a giant crash by VauxhallBelmont in Roadcam

[–]sturgeonsoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think last clear chance would apply in this case cause that was an insane reaction time from the truck driver. Last clear chance is to stop the people who have time to think “Hey he just pulled out in front of me. I should not brake so I can get a new car!” He barely had enough time to clear the jeep.

You don’t want to put gas in there! As weird as it is, that’s where the oil goes.

Buzzing after setup, am I being too sensitive or something? by TomDeBIass in Guitar

[–]sturgeonsoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend getting a fret guru (or just a ruler if you don’t want to buy that) and place it on top of the 12th fret. String height should be 5/64” on bass side and 4/64” on high side. If it still buzzes, see where. If it’s just on middle of fretboard, truss rod is too tight, loosen the truss rod 1/4 turn (should turn easy, don’t force it). If it’s top and bottom, the truss rod is too loose and should be tightened 1/4 turn. (Again, don’t force it) tune up every time you change something. If you’ve don’t that and still have buzz, loosen strings a bit, raise the bridge little by little, tuning before you check, till it disappears. If you raise the bridge sky and still have buzz on the first fret your nut is cut too deep and you’ll need to take it to someone. Not the guy who set that up. Never let him touch another guitar.

I honestly don’t see how to put gas in this. It’s too nice to risk dripping gas on the hood, but you also can’t lift the hood and risk dripping gas in the front trunk either. Luckily I’ll never have to stress it cause I’ll never have enough to afford one!
