So let's be honest! 😎 Who has learned something about metal guitars from watching this video? Let me know!

@CrushingAxes 11 ай бұрын

Oh man, I learned a lot! I also learned a lot using the Grindstein and the drum samples! It's quite easy to make everything sound cool in solo, and then the mix sound bad. The IR's are also very cool, and helps to have a reference, if you want to mic your own amp.

Learned a shit ton of things , some unexpected , some completly going against the main beliefs of what sounds better . I'm about to get a 30inch scale schecter and couldn't decide between the 6 and the 9 strings models , and now i know which one i'll get . No matter which brand I always found the 6 strings baritones to sound alot tighter and more agressive than the dark/muddy 8's and 9's and i couldn't quite figure out if it was because of the pickup or construction difference or both . Also since local shops rarely ever carry baritone guitars it's only through videos of guys comparing one brand of guitar against an other we can make an opinion that is rarely accurate , but now that video was real serious usefull info, many thanks .

Yeah like proof the wood eq is ever present in the sound through the jack by a spectral analyzer. And hapas says the ash coupled with a thinner body and a bolt on neck has more attack and they are correct. So how is this proof "irritating irrational superstition" ? As it truly is just standard basic physics. Or is it the quite aggressive cover up of making the connection of science and god? Or great sounding guitars and crap ones with digital ear buds and computer amplification disposable software and lacking of a hard copy because it all sounds the same and doesn't matter because not anything matters in any day and age as it is called that they ruined my mind to resist the truth?.@@TimmyScandi Have you ever seen the video of that one guy. And he states " emotion doesn't exist and that it is an illusion", he went to plaid man. It does exist, so why are emotional guitar parts 'not there' on famous songs. When you can plainly, clearly hear all of the character when played by the legendary musician or player themself in person. All of the control and playing ability controlling the sound constantly. How can they control all of that sound when it is all plug in with electricity? Easy, you do not understand pickup electronics. Where are the chips? actives maybe, where are the chips in the electronical device that are the 'pickups' , they are actually transducers. They are microphones. The same magnetic coil technology in microphones are the same magnetic coil technology in passive pickups. There is understanding rule number one. O.k. ? Draw your own conclusions. Let go of the biased opinion to the knowledge of science and god co existing. Or coalesce.

The thing I noticed - baritones are still underrated AF. Everyone talks about 29-string guitars, pickups, wood, neck joint and tuning down as low as earth's core, but literally no one thinks about the scale length - the most important part of the equation. I'm just waiting when everyone undesrtands the basic fundamentals of a guitar concept - then it's gonna be much easier to see a lot of baritones on a mass market.

The thing with bolt on necks I think he was trying to get at is that some of the vibrational energy gets reflected back at the strings. Neck thru sounds warmer and deeper because it readily absorbs the vibration of the strings. Bolt on acts almost like a resistor.

Awesome Kohle. Hapas are real performance machines, you'll get a lot of sound from them. i am wish to have an 8 string with Kahler or floyd rose trem. tuned up high and two 6 string pickups angled offset with each other the Leviathan on the bass strings and the alnico on the high strings. And with wenge multilaminate neck with the explorer-ish / firebird-ish like shape. Jet black. Other great guitars include : Hapas, Ran, black machine for raw sound and Daemoness and Guerilla guitars for your painted guitars. And if your into awesome shapes EtherieL and Monson have great designs. Also i am like Balaguer for semi custom. Also check out Deviant, SAW, and wkm custom guitars. And like balaguer halo guitars has a really cool guitar customization tool on their sites.

A Squier Classic Vibe body with a Fender roasted Maple neck, single Jim Wagner Ironman pickup, Hipshot locking tuners and saddles. And that's it. Nothing special. But the neck was extremely worn-in and feels amazing, the pickup is the best I've heard for any genre, and it's just perfect for me.

Nice walkthrough, thanks. Wish all my guitars had 5 piece neck. For now I have none😀 btw recently I asked a luthier to remove all knobs from guitar and install a toggle switch instead. He was very reluctant and tried to talk me out but I insisted and he found a way to do this properly with minimal sound change. If I trusted him in the beginning, the guitar would remain the same. It`s a small thing, though

@riangarianga 11 ай бұрын

Just very curious about what you did, since I enjoy designing non-standard circuits (for self-consumption): did you also remove the volume knob and got instead an on-off switch, or perhaps you used a selector with resistors to get different volume levels, or maybe I'm totally mistaken and not getting the point 😂?

@spaceexpireaudio666 11 ай бұрын

@@riangarianga Hey, yes, I removed both tone knob and volume knob. It started with volume knob being too close to picking hand, so at first I I thought to move it instead of tone knob (since I`m not using it and split coils as well). Then i thought I`m tired of that knob since I only use it in either at 0 or max, and they have that fricking tendency to rotate a little, and I may not notice it before recording. And I thought that I want a switch. The luthier took time to think, eventually ordered some Hosco switch, which I can use as kill-switch if I want to. Plus since the tone would inevitably go brighter, he installed resistor with a knob inside the guitar, it`s set on max and I didn`t experiment with it yet. I don`t think I want a darker tone. I`ll be posting a video for Bogren contest in a few days, in case you wanna see how it looks. Nothing special but so much more comfort for recording and such. I think every heavy rocker basically needs it.

You don't need more strings to go low - you need longer scale to go low. Get an Ibanez src6 or Gretsch jet baritone to go crazy low.

The MAGNETIC pickups dgaf what wood the guitar is made of. Tonewood is flat earth for guitarists.

Personally, I'd just stick with an 8 string. It might not be able to chug quite like a 6 or 7 string but you just can't beat the benefit of extra range and the chances of being able to tune a string down an octave will usually be much easier on an 8 rather than a 6 (in my opinion).

I'm really curious why they use scarf joints with their necks and headstocks. When Pawel was saying shorter neck wood is better to prevent warping it made me think they're maybe using the scarf joint to keep the neck material as short as possible to prevent the warping. Just a guess though. A lot of older high end Ibanez necks have the scarf joints but nowadays you see that construction on cheaper and lower end guitars.

This was a good video. I'm surprised he only recommended a 28" for going to E; I have a Gretsch Jet that's a 29.75 and it works well for going low (I don't tune down to E though, the lowest I play it is G). More scale length is pretty much always better; that's why in concert halls you always see a concert grand (9 feet) instead of a baby grand (5 feet). You have to find which strings work best for your tuning and yes, longer scale length is harder to play. But in terms of tone and pitch stability, longer is better. Also, this sort of confirmed my suspicion that neck-through guitars have better sustain and thus are better for leads. Anyway, these seem like great guitars! I would like to get one some day but I have ordered custom stuff before and it's sort of a drag waiting around for it to get finished (and never getting finished on time).

Damn, that’s so obvious you will have such a minimal tone shift in any sort of compering woods/construction and you will kill all possible differences with hi-gain. So even don’t mention that in the topic of e-guitar building! But! What’s important about woods and construction? Stability and usability. Remember! One peace body may and will change the shape when it drying. How is that affect your playability? I guess not that much, but it may cause some issues for your finish if it’s glossy colour. But it’s rare. What construction of body is the most stable? More than 2 pieces + top wood! Almost the same logic to a neck. But it’s more sensible to a shape changing, cause of strings hight etc… if you don’t want to have multiple pieces neck, the best solution is roasted woods. Warning! Even though, wood is dry really good you will have the problem depending on conditions of air etc. it will absorb moist from air and drying later, even roasted one. The difference is, that roasted one has less moist from start. That’s it! So if it’s a touring instrument, your choice is multiple pieces, stability etc. If it’s a studio instrument and the studio doesn’t experience drops, boosts, changes of temperature and air moist extremely, your choice is what ever you like depending on your aesthetic preferences! Drop the mic!

When he mentioned bout the punchier sound from a low tuned 6 vs 7 or 8. I believe that I noticed when i used my 6-string baritone vs my 7 string I find the baritone is much better sounding than the 7 string. How is tool life cutting roasted Ash vs Non Roasted?
