I treated myself to one of these little Gretsch parlour guitars. It's an absolute joy to play. It's tiny but sounds really full and resonant. I can sit on the sofa next to someone or in my arm chair and play without knocking the headstock into the things. Love it!

Just did a DIY project this weekend using an ikea Hejne shelf to build a new pedalboard. Thought you guys would like to see the photos and the walkthrough of everything:
Fully assembled, wired up, ready to go. Before mounting everything I did some test runs of cable length, and power cable arrangement.
If you're familiar with these, you know the drill. It's plain, it's cheap, it's 30"x18". Take a slat off the second shelf and attach it to the back.
After assembling the board, I stained it in the evening, putting an even coat of dark walnut that covered it 100%. I don't do much woodwork and thought I'd like the solid dark walnut, but the next morning it just looked like paint, and the wood had no character it. You couldn't even see the grain... So I took a chance and started sanding, sanding off as much of the stain as I could, and ended with what you see in this photo. Loved seeing the grain come through and was already thinking "not bad for a cheap piece of wood!"
After the entire thing was sanded, I thought I'd experiment a little and use a rag to rub in some more stain. I used a light amount across the entire surface, and if you compare to the previous photo, it nicely filled in the light spots. At this point I was incredibly pleased with how it was looking. Applied a few coats of satin finish and let it dry.
Pedals mounted, essential delay and reverb pedals towards the bottom.
New Empress ReverbNew Pedal - Empress Reverb:
I’ve never had a reverb pedal and have always used the spring reverb on my amps. Needed something that would be consistent between playing through amps, and direct recording. I’ve obsessed over reverb reviews on here and on YouTube and thought I was going to get a JHS Alpine until I decided to go a bit beyond that and get something with tons of versatility. Came down to, you guessed it: Strymon Big Sky vs. Empress Reverb, and got a chance to test out the Empress on Saturday at Chicago Music Exchange. Loved it immediately, and the few hours I’ve spent with it at home have been fun. It’s exactly what I wanted/needed.Making the pedalboard:
Started and finished a weekend project to build a new pedalboard after outgrowing my previous one that I’d used since about 2004, in various configurations, in the band I was in through 2010. I’d been wanting a Pedaltrain board, but also wanted new gear, and then started considering a custom wood build or a Gorm / Hejne board to save some money. I didn’t have access to decent saws and woodworking tools for a few weeks, so decided to take the Hejne route.I won’t bore you all too much with the process, but here are a few key takeaways. I knew I wanted to stain it, but honestly hadn’t done much woodworking in my life. The assembly was incredibly easy, and I applied a coat of dark walnut stain to it after sanding it some. It ended up looking like I had just painted it... Maybe I wasn’t thinking I should stain it and then said it, or, maybe I didn’t realize I should have put a much lighter coat on. Did all this on Saturday night, and Sunday morning it was complete dry but just looked sloppy - practically solid brown, with no grain showing.
Took a chance and started sanding, and immediately loved the results. Realized that probably should have been my original intention. Long story short... sanded the whole thing, then took a cloth and rubbed in a light coat of walnut stain to fill in the light spots. It was looking great. Applied 2-3 coats of satin spray finish, and let it dry.Pedal attachment:
I intended to do full velcro strips from left to right across each piece of wood, but liked the wood so much I ended up cutting pieces to fit each pedal, using 2” wide Velcro. Most of these pedals will stay put for a long time; I fortunately have space for a couple additional pedals if I pick up anything new.Power Supply:
There’s a surge protector mounted on the underside with screws and Velcro, and I’m still using a Godlyke PowerAll Daisy Chain configuration. It’s what I used in my band for years and though I’ve been planning on something like an ISO brick, I’m going to stick with this because there’s really no noise at all. It’s nice and quiet, everything is 9 volts and I don’t yet see a reason to spend $ on something with nominal improvement.Signal Chain:
I’ve played with a stereo setup for years and continue to play and record that way at home, whether through amps (Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, VOX VR30 or Crate VC30 (all tube amps)) or direct into an Apogee Duet. So, still have a stereo setup and it’s now as follows:
Line In > Boss Tuner > Volume Pedal > MXR Dyna Comp (80’s) > MXR Distortion + (80’s) > MXR Micro Amp > Earthquaker Afterneath > EHX Stereo Pulsar > Boss Flanger > Boss Phaser > Boss Chorus (stereo split starts here) >>>> Boss DD-20 Delay > Empress Reverb >>>> Stereo Left: Boss DD-3 Delay > EHX Nano Looper 360 > EHX Big Muff (Russian, 90’s) > Out to Hot Rod Deluxe - Stereo Right: EHX Little Big Muff > Out to VOX VR30- Looks great!
Nice oneset - real nice, was checking out that empress recently too. using a stereo pedalboard myself with my JC40 and loving it.kingsteven
- ^ Nice! I first debated the Foxpedal Magnifica and the JHS Alpine. $200-$250 range. Kept researching and decided to choose betweenmg33
- The Strymon Big Sky and the Empress. Seemed like a decent amount of people had better things to say about the Empress over at r/guitarpedals on Reddit.mg33
- How high is that? My pedals are taking over my synth desk, and I want to move them a level down (but not on the floor).section_014

Coming to the realization that I just couldn't justify spending $3,500 on an ebony Gibson ES 335, I got the next best thing. An Epiphone Riviera Noel Gallagher edition. I'm not an Oasis fanboy at all, but the tone, build quality and specs on this guitar were what I've wanted for so many years. It arrived yesterday and it's fantastic.

My 16 y/o just asked me if he can get an electric guitar! so excited, he'd been making music electronically for the past 7-8 years and played acoustic when he was a kid.
I'm so stoked, and not sure why!
I have no idea about theses things so my question is what is a good one to start him off on? I'm guessing something used?
- Sounds to me like he's serious about music, so I'd push the boat out. A Les Paul (or its ESP equivalent), maybe a 7 string Ibanez for extra chunky goodness.Continuity
- If he was just fucking around and you knew he'd give it up in six months, then some used cheap as chips Yamaha thingy.Continuity
- Thanks Continuity, yeah more on the serious side something like this? https://cosmomusic.c…_niko
- or this? https://cosmomusic.c…_niko
- I guess he should just go to a shop and try a bunch for feel?_niko
- That Epiphone is very nice, and a really good starter guitar, imo. It's not top of the range Gibson/Epiphone, but still solid.Continuity
- And yeah, make an occasion out of it. Let him chug and shred to his heart's content until he has an idea what he wants.Continuity
- (I guess kids these days will want something that can be tuned to C or B standard without the strings going all slack, anyway)Continuity
- (If they're into metal)Continuity
- awesome, thanks man!_niko
- Don't take my word for it, though. QBN has far, far better guitar players than me!Continuity
- I got my kid the epiphone les paul. Good starterGnash
- https://www.long-mcq…Gnash
- its a bit of a minefield, if you know what guitarists he likes thats a good start.kingsteven
- thanks Gnash, there's a L&M not too far from me_niko
- if you know any good guitarists locally ask them to have a look on local classifieds. if you know what you're looking for you can find guitars with £500 ofkingsteven
- upgrades for the original price of the guitar... pickups, tuners, cases and 'played in' setups - stuff like light sanding the neck makes a professionalkingsteven
- instrument from anything. saying that aesthetics really matter, you have to want to pick up a guitar first, then continue playing it...kingsteven
- and you wouldn't want to go too metal (like my first guitar) and then have to sell it to play in an indie bandkingsteven

- My first guitar was a warlock. It was so cringe learning and sounding like shit on such a cool looking piece. Switched to a les paul epiphonescarabin

Finally got myself a bass. Never had a Japanese Fender before. I’m very impressed! Light weight and strung up with flat wounds. Sounds like 60s-70s Motown.
- Lovely, would love a Jazz. My first bass was a Mexican Fender in sunburst.kingsteven
- I have 3 90s Japanese Fender basses tho. PB70US, Bass VI and Mustang. The P is stock with flats and its just perfection.kingsteven

Mine is the JB62. I almost decided on the Pbass.futurefood - I was first looking at a short scale Fender bass, but never tried one out. That Mustang looks sweet!futurefood
- i know a lot of guitarists choose short scale for their first bass but tbh the mustang isn't 'easier' to play if you're reasonably tall. it's surprisingly...kingsteven
- similar to the P in sound, i just have regular wound strings on it and set up low for the rattle.kingsteven

- Great bass! Japan Fenders are superb imho.fisheye

What should an absolute beginner purchase as their first acoustic guitar? Besides going to the guitar store and picking almost randomly, I'm not sure where to start. Any help appreciated.
- I have a beautiful classical Yamaha C-40, nylon string, you can pick up cheap used, nice in your hands and great size to sit on the sofa and jam.robotron3k
- Yamaha, Ibanez, and Epiphone (surprisingly) make good entry level acoustics.section_014
- acoustic guitars have a whole host of negative aesthetic traits but nothing says "i'm that cunt" better than a cutaway.kingsteven
- i'd say robotron is spot on with the nylon strung classical, they are a blast to play. try out a bunch though as neck profile and scale length vary quite a bit.kingsteven
- and body size/ materials do really affect the sound. i got a steel strung 'ooo' size last year which has a tiny body and only 12 usable frets...kingsteven
- but the nut is wide like on a classical guitar... so fits my hands perfectly and sounds so much nicer than any 'dreadnought' acoustic i've used for recording.kingsteven
- Recording King ROS-616 btw.
http://i.imgur.com/b…
Don't make that model any more but recording king are great for the price for steel-strung.kingsteven - The guitar that feels most comfortable and is in your price range is the best one if you're just starting out. Buy based on comfort to start.nocomply
- very fast and comfy neck, nicely built and fun to play.
https://www.guitarce…ok_not_ok - Wow thanks. I’m not familiar with most of the terminology yet but it sounds like I should go to the store and try some out. Willing to spend up to $400 I supposmonospaced

- Get electric so you can put on headphone and not wake the baby up?pango
