make one that looks like a stegosaurus
-

Yeah, do an Explorer or V shaped guitar.hypno-toad you should attempt to make a sharper design. Even if you don't like it so much it would be a good experiment, maybe something like this:
Though as you said it would cost $500 - $600 to make another guitar, so obviously you would make a shape that you're happy with.
-
Darn I want a new guitar. Even though I pretty much got the guitar of my dreams like a month ago. I need to get rich.
-
Seconded, I'd like to see a custom-built Explorer.
-
There's really no such thing as "your own design" unless you want to build your own metal and plastic parts.
Custom designs will always be something-style, because you need to use brand name/licensed hardware. The most you can really do without either screwing up the looks/ sounds is making modifications to pre-existing body design; which is what I intend to do.
Also, I don't like those axe guitars.
Shitty photoshop job aside, this is the concept of what I want to do. The differences are, I'd leave my finish semi natural with an orange and yellow sunburst finish.
The routing job would be mainly what would be more distinguishable about it, as the top side of the horns would be flat, and the sides of the body rounded, giving the horns a "sharp" look.

that isn't a stegosaurus

I'd be afraid if I did that it would become an amputation hazard.that isn't a stegosaurus
-
That actually looks like the guitar I'll be building when school starts, except mine will have a different headstock, 24 frets, and it will be ebony black.Shitty photoshop job aside, this is the concept of what I want to do.

-
Nice choice, I haven't really decided what pickups I'll put in mine, but it'll most likely be humbuckers.
-
Jetkings just looks sexy
-
gaaaw, I had a revelation!
I'm going to paint my next guitar with this stuff:

Imagine, a guitar that changes color when you hold it :D
-
Sexy Idea, must do it to my guitar too damnit.
-
Well, would have to do it on a test piece of wood first, to see what happens. It you do it your guitar, make sure the coat of paint underneath the thermotropic paint is black. I hope the paint responds OK to lacquers.
If anybody asks, it was my idea >.> <.<

Loving my Parker P44
It's so much different than any other guitar.
Edited:
I think we weren't talking about Palm Muting.
Just string muting.
-
yeah it is
fucking img kk gonna reupload

Anyone know where you can actually learn guitar easily online? I'm confident to start playing again but never could have been assed to learn.
-
Just get some songs you would enjoy playing, teach yourself techniques as you progress and learn about them. Seems to have worked for me.
-
Well my first lessons came from vguitarlessons 2 years ago. Really good chap to give 11 free lessons.

-
I want a G-400
I'm getting lessons again, but I hope to save up for one and buy it in about a year or so.
is that a good idea or should I get something else, I'll have been playing for a year/11 or 10 months before I decide to buy one
-
Yeah that's the thing my index is right asshat at barres, and two string always end up muted.
-
There is a free alternative, that opens guitar pro tabs, it's really quite good

You might just not have long enough fingers. I have the longest fingers of anyone I know and I still have some trouble playing it (it tends to get painful after multiple repetitions)
-
that's really fucking cool
-
Any bassists here who have tried the Aria SB 404? Wondering because it's not really expensive and I think it looks just lovely, but my father (who used to play bass) says it's not worth the money and that there's much better stuff for the same price out there.
Any response is appreciated. :)
-
Nah it's fine now, and ma fingers are easily long enough lol, seems it was just uneven distrobution of pressure, so one finger ended up just muting a string.
-
Anyone ever heard of Overwater Guitar Company?
-
im thinking about getting a peavey vypyr 30w. anyone here got one?
-
I instantly thought of this guitar when I saw that.
It's still a neat design though.
-
I had a red one for a while. I couldn't really tell you if it was a good bass, though, since it was my first bass, and I haven't played any others. It worked pretty good, as far as I know. I gave it to a friend of mine for a better guitar amp, and he hasn't said it was a piece of shit, so that's gotta be good.
I'm thinking about getting back into bass, though, and I'm considering an ESP B-204 Bass. Does anyone have any experience with them? As far as I can tell, and from what I've read, it looks like a pretty good Bass.

I might sell my old guitar, though I doubt my dad would ever let me use the money for another guitar.

And by the way, Hagström makes good guitars, it's not some unknown shit company.

now this is a bass guitar
I'd have to sell both my parents cars to afford it though
-
I'm not a fan of that Rickenbacker stuff, even though they invented the electric guitar. All their stuff looks sort of cumbersome and overdone. It lacks stylish-simplicity.

-
Rickenbackers are meant to be super fancy, because that's what the world was like when they first came out.
-
They never looked super fancy to me. To me, Rickenbackers are the simplest-looking guitars. They have the wavey swoosh pickguard and their awesome shape and sometimes a really funky shade of robin's-egg blue and it was instantly the classiest fucking guitar out there. On top of that they still sound better than most guitars today do.
-
I think all basses should have this sort of look to them, it just looks right IMO.
