Anyone here know of a hollowbody electric that sounds particularly good unplugged?

There's nothing more obnoxious than a guitar snob. Fuck off and play whatever you like, I will do the same.
I have this guitar, but it is not my current guitar I use, nor is it my photo. It is a Union Jack Supernova made by Epiphone, it is the signature guitar of Noel Gallagher from Oasis, they no longer make these, the line was discontinued sometime in late 2006 I believe.
My amp, Marshall MG30DFX
My current guitar I use, an Epiphone Les Paul Custom in Alphine White.
I've been learning how to play for a while, but I have a question...
How long did it take you guys to get your chord changes perrfect!??
Im just getting into barre chords right now but my chord changes are still slugish somewhat as im still adapting to air changes but I was just wondering how long it took you guys to get them perfect?

Old jazz archtops. Hollow body electrics aren't meant to be played unplugged. They should still sound GOOD unplugged. If they don't sound good unplugged they probably won't sound good amplified. Still... if you want an acoustic get an acoustic.
For your viewing pleasure. My collection consolidated to one post:
Awesome snaps ducky, sweet gear too.
A couple of snaps of my new John 5 Squier Tele and one with the whole family...
Guitar rack from front is Ibanez S320 w EMG 81/60, Ibanez Prestige RG3120, MIJ 57 reissue Fender Strat, Peavey Grind bass and a Gibson Flying V up against the amp.

Gaf tell me wtf is going on with my guitar! The picture shows what happened after I was done tuning the guitar with the strings I bought the other day. Granted, they're way thicker strings than what I usually get (bought Ernie Ball "Not even slinky" strings) and my guitar is a shitty Squier, but still this should not be happening... So what do I do?
(Don't tell me to buy a new guitar. I suck so I don't need to spend money on a better one.)

Underneath your guitar is a plate...unscrew it and you will see 3 tension strings. there should be a way to tighten them to balance out the tension due to the heavier strings that you got...loosen your strings first and then adjust the tremolo tension
ok, back to GEAR discussion, I just ordered the EHX Cathedral Reverb, check it out.

even my drool has reverb on it

Thanks for the help, but even after tightening the spring in the back the bridge still comes up once the strings are tuned. I guess I'll just have to go out and buy some thinner strings.

Is there a reason why you wanted heavier strings? did the clerk sell you strings for a baritone guitar? are you doing a standard guitar tuning or are you tuning up?

How's that FuelTank Fusebox? I have a 1Spot 9V adapter for my pedals but i notice that my Fuzz Factory pedal gets nosier when I plug it in compared to a 9V battery...oh, and when the heck are you going to get back on G.A.M.E. with the rest of us?

I'm an idiot and bought heavier ones by accident.

you would have to add another spring in order to add more tension to the bridge
The strings you bought were probably for a baritone guitar which have a shorter neck length.

i thought baritones had longer necks?

Yea you're right, it's a longer length not shorter. Hence why bass guitars have long necks. My bad.

holy crap, the Electro Harmonix Cathedral Reverb is one of the most versatile verbs i've ever played with! Any reverb fans out there should check it out...infinite reverb is amazing

Sounds fantastic but shit, $250 for the standard model? Anything good for somewhat less (100-150) maybe?

How about a Kirk Hammet Wah ($150)...i like the way the frequency range is tuned for this one

Just awesome man. One of those extremely basic and simple bits of kit that works perfectly, and its changed the way I play too, I used to come home, I'd have to plug all my pedals together and see which ones still had enough juice to use and everytime I stopped playing I'd unplug them all to save battery. Now I just come home and flip a power switch and they all come on at once and I leave them all on until I'm done, it's such a nice feeling.

That's the one. I can't fault the sound quality. Some sounds are better than others, I can get some beautiful crystal clean modern tones, some sweet-ass singing lead tones and ace raunchy rock tones. Super-bassy chug tones are a bit harder to get dial in though. I don't use it as much these days, if I was gigging though I'd make it the core of my sounds because being able to change between complex patches with one click is so convenient.
I've definitely got some tracks I recorded using it floating around somewhere, I'll try dig one out and upload it.
I bought a sweet acoustic the other day, excuse the rough snaps....
Went into my local guitar store thinking I'd be deciding between a Maton and an Ovation but I ended up being blown away by the tonal range and feel of the Fat Lady. Queensland Maple back and sides, spruce top.

Anyone here messed around with a Vox AC15? I'm swishing around the idea of trading up to it from my Valveking 112.
whitehawk said:
Sorry buddy, just remembered I still haven't done a clip for you yet! Will knock something out tonight, I won't do a song or anything I'll just play a few riffs and chops using some of my different presets.
In other news I've fallen in LOVE with my new Cole Clark acoustic, I played about 20-30 expensive acoustics yesterday at a guitar seconds sale and none of them sounded or felt anywhere as near as good as my Fat Lady, I want another one.
Oh wow, just saw this lol. Could you do this? That would be great!Fusebox said:
I've been meaning to rent it, but I can't seem to find anywhere that rents it, only the Boss GT 10. I'm thinking the zoom would be better because:
- Real tubes
This makes is sound more like a real amp, instead of a ugly digital distortion, right?
- z pedal
Being able to use two effects with the same pedal seems really cool.
And just the way it looks. It seems to be designed a lot better than the Boss Gt-10. I've also been thinking the best way to get a good sound is to truly get individual pedals, but those are expensive, for just one =/. And then I would have to get a USB pre amp thing to plug it into my PC. The Zoom has USB out, so I could get tons of sounds and record directly from it.
Plus, it's pretty cheap from amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000P3YFTO/?tag=neogaf0e-20

I already have a Les Paul, but I wanna get a tele or a strato ... The thing is I already own a great guitar so I will either go with Squier or Squier Afinity ...
Is it worth it to not chose Affinity a this price range or is the difference not that big?

i love this set-up. I've always played my guitar into Logic and Propellerheads Record via guitar sim plug-ins. but now I have found the joy/rawness of mic-ing a small tube amp with a really awesome condenser mic (Blue Bluebird)

set your pattern to cardiod and put it in the middle of the speaker cone. if you want a bit more bass place the snowball off-center. blue mics rock 
This is my first guitar that I got for Christmas when I was 16 years old... almost 20 years ago. I got a starter book and hacked away at it for about a year. I never got any good at it, couldn't afford lessons, and didn't know anybody else that played guitar. It pretty much sat and collected dust until I decided to start playing seriously last year. I've been taking lessons now since last September.
Alvarez Regent 5512 6-string acoustic with D'addario light gauge strings:
For Christmas, I got a nice Ovation Celebrity CC057 Acoustic-Electric with a 10-watt Marshall practice amp. I really like this guitar. Its the same one that crashed with Charlie on Lost :lol I recently put Elixir light strings on it.
I'm also in the market for an electric guitar. I don't want to buy anything used. I've been browsing Craigslist for months and I've decided I want something new in the $500 range. Every single used guitar listing I see has someone that has modded their guitar with "Badass pickups", "special wiring", or a bunch of other shit that doesn't mean anything to me. I don't really know enough about electric guitars to know about modding or the stuff people do to them. I've decided that I really don't want something that the previous owner has fucked with because I won't know the difference at first if he's fucked it up or if its shit. I think I'm just going to end up buying a Fender Stratocaster Made In Mexico model. They're about $500 brand new everywhere. Most people say that they're great beginner-intermediate electric guitars. I'm mostly interested in playing classic rock with the occasional country-rock song. I've got friends that play in a bar band that play this kind of music and they all use Fender Strats. They also own Gibson Les Pauls but for the kind of music their band plays, they all think the Strats are a little more versatile than the Les Pauls for getting the kind of sound they use in their band - which is a lot of Blues, Classic Rock, with the occasional Country Rock song thrown in.

Apologies for the stock photo, but I don't have room/time for it at college and I don't have any pics of it on my laptop:
Michael Kelly Hourglass Q. Got it just before they stopped production. Love the thing to death. Went back one weekend, and it had a huge dent in the headstock from when my brother dropped it while fucking around with it.
