Trying to buy a guitar

[storm magnet]

BUT im trying to look for a budget around 4.000.000 Rp or 250$
Has to be SSS if can. Guitar has look like the one in the pic if possible (Basically white, maybe a red pickguard, etc.
Quality is fair to price

Problem with this is that its a P90 Humbucker or HH. im trying to go for Rnb or blues not rock or metal

[quaint pawn]

You don’t just use humbuckers for rock and metal

Loads of blues players use humbuckers

[storm magnet]

Ik but the HH cant rlly get the blue or rnb im looking for (brb)

[quaint pawn]

Get singles then like this

[glossy trellis]

yeah just get a white squire strat or smthn

and keep in mind that you can always refinish a guitar relatively easily

[cursive halo]

It’s just a long process

[storm magnet]

i cant rlly do that i suck at it

would wanna destroy it

[glossy trellis]

look at #795553671773290536

you can buy almost any guitar in white

[storm magnet]

thomann? i cant buy that site on my country

like it wont ship it here

[mystic axle]

p90 is goated for every genre

[storm magnet]

i dont rlly want shipping too bcs its risky in this country lol

[storm magnet]

so can p90 humbucker do ichika nito style example

[mystic axle]

technically you can do everything with every pickup

idk what ichika nito style means but from what youtube shows its clean so yeah

[storm magnet]

can i show a vid?

[mystic axle]

sure

[storm magnet]

oki 1 sec

example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPNVJZP3i5g

or this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6ESLuloku0

both abit diff

[mystic axle]

i mean def you can p 90 is technically a single coil

so even in technicality its there

[storm magnet]

so is p90 + humbucker similar like HSS?

[mystic axle]

depends what you like single coils especially fender will be more chimey

p 90 more dark

the dude you showed doesnt use a lot of high end so either fits

technically a humbucker could do that too

[cursive halo]

No

It’s HP90

[storm magnet]

oh

[storm magnet]

the guys guitar cost like 700-900 dollars

[cursive halo]

Get an Ibanez azes pretty good standardish strat

[mystic axle]

most of the price in any guitar is logo + fit and finish

you get the same sound at $100

[cursive halo]

And specs a bit

[cursive halo]

Debatable

[storm magnet]

such as? that fits the description i want

[cursive halo]

Huh?

[mystic axle]

i mean yeah but most of it doesnt matter

[storm magnet]

i mean true but also it can affect the sound abit but noticeable

[storm magnet]

which azes

[cursive halo]

Really any of them but seems like you want sss so get that or can get the hss which the H has coil split

[storm magnet]

id probably go for SSS

[mystic axle]

ibanez and yamaha really give you the options

[storm magnet]

but i seen some ibanez in here cost more than my budget

[storm magnet]

tbh ill go with the yamaha instantly if p90 + humbucker can do what SSS can or just the vid i sent

srry i ive never even touch or care abt humbuckers or p90s inawhile so idk much about it

i only play sss

[mystic axle]

P-90s in my experience owning P-90 guitars they have the most 1:1 sound

what you hear with your ears will be the same in the amp

[storm magnet]

i see

which one u think has better quality

[mystic axle]

as guitar?

[storm magnet]

the pickups

[mystic axle]

its all the same really

pickups either sound good or they dont

[storm magnet]

also i heard single coil is brighter and cleaner than p90? is that true

[mystic axle]

Brighter

idk about cleaner

theyre equally clean tbh

[storm magnet]

but if it was brighter or cleaner it would be a pretty small difference right?

like nearly wont be noticeable as you play more and more

[mystic axle]

at cheap you won't get any very bright single coils anyway

so i think the difference will be minimal anyway

i mean the fender chime single coils are behind a $1000 paywall

[storm magnet]

i mean i have a boss katana 50 which is quite a good amp

[mystic axle]

yeah

[storm magnet]

so im sure with that i can do pretty much any style i want (including the videos) with the HH right?

[mystic axle]

if you're not doing distortion

and you know how to use the EQ on your amp

you can play anything with any pickups

[storm magnet]

sometimes i do disortions..

[mystic axle]

how heavy?

[storm magnet]

ehh not much. probably atleast noticeable distortion

[mystic axle]

I think all kinds of pickups should do well

[storm magnet]

alrighty

[mystic axle]

I mean theres people playing full distortion with single coils too

i guess its preference or somethin

[storm magnet]

dang

im not used to full distortion on sss lol

sounds abit weird

or im tripping idk

alr I might go for this (PAC 311H)

[mystic axle]

everyone wants their original sound

[storm magnet]

p-90 and humbucker right?

[mystic axle]

that also looks sick

[mystic axle]

looks like those yep

[storm magnet]

heck yea

[storm magnet]

okey

ima see more abt the guitar then is it alright if i ask some questions later?

[mystic axle]

ideally always try it in a store if you have a chance or one similar

[storm magnet]

yeah if i heard it sounds good then ill go to the store

guitar stores at my city is hard to find and mostly they are just 1 brand guitar

[mystic axle]

yeee

[storm magnet]

and i dont have much time to go to stores haha

[mystic axle]

i kinda want a yamaha for that yamaha swag but cant ever decide on a model to get

drip i guess in this current climate

[storm magnet]

bocchi style lmao

pac 611vfm i think

[mystic axle]

idk i see like an anime collab

[storm magnet]

thats prob 612 bocchi model

[mystic axle]

no idea

[storm magnet]

also @mystic axle i heard teles are good but is there any fair priced thats good quality telecasters?

cuz i played tele once and it felt like it works on alot of styles

[mystic axle]

depends what youre looking for

[queen birch]

what's your budget

[mystic axle]

I bought like 7 telecasters in my life

[storm magnet]

eh idk much abt tele i just played a tele before thats it

[mystic axle]

and i settled on the squier sonic tele thats dirt cheap

cause its light

[storm magnet]

uh Rp 4.000.000 or 250 dollars

[mystic axle]

my bad

i meant its light

[queen birch]

if you have the budget not to get a sonic then id recommend doing that

[mystic axle]

i hate heavy guitars theyre pointless

[queen birch]

i don't think anyone actively likes them

[storm magnet]

people keep saying sonic/bullet strato sucks as hell but idk abt the tele? is it worth it

[queen birch]

you're more likely to get a lighter guitar on a more premium model tbh

[mystic axle]

some people think it means quality

[queen birch]

they all suck

[storm magnet]

dang

[mystic axle]

i have a heavy SG (for how thin those are) and it feels premium

[mystic axle]

tbh

i think i had every item from the squier sonic series except strats

[storm magnet]

for the same price sonic tele and pac 311H which is more worth it for both blues/rnb and some metal or rock

[mystic axle]

and they were all Ws

[storm magnet]

oh

[mystic axle]

bullets were all total garbage lmao

but its discontinued now so i think you only get like old stock of those or 2nd hands

[queen birch]

the bare minimum from squier is the affinity that id recommend

[storm magnet]

yeah i heard abt that

[mystic axle]

affinity is peak

[storm magnet]

but affinity in my place cost like 60$ extra despite the quality is still shittier than pac 112v

[mystic axle]

eh

depends what quality

electronics are mid, sure

the build is exemplary

[storm magnet]

quality control

build like frets or fret sprouts

[mystic axle]

idk dont think so

unless its a thing with your area's climate

[storm magnet]

i mean i still think 311H is better + cheaper

[storm magnet]

hot and rainy asf

either rainy asf or hot asf

[mystic axle]

i mean what youre looking for

[storm magnet]

and it changes so quickly and unexpectedly

[storm magnet]

i was originally looking for strato affinity cuz it has SSS and it was white

but now i checked more the quality for the price (IN my country) sucks

[mystic axle]

i am a stan for my squier affinity strat cause its hands down the best guitar ive ever touched

[storm magnet]

the yamaha 311H was way better especially the price was equal to a sonic/bullet strato

[mystic axle]

but also it has so much wear on it i guess it fits me perfectly for that reason lol

[storm magnet]

they kinda look cool tho

[mystic axle]

i mean the most classic look ig

the 60s vibe

[storm magnet]

yeah but tbh in my country (always the problem) stores here that sell the fenders/squiers are hella overpriced

only yamaha is trustable here

like swee lee be selling instruments 2x more expensive

[mystic axle]

fair enough

yamahya do make dope stuff

[storm magnet]

exactly

ima just buy 311H last option

Cheap trustable nearest store

good quality fair price

has my favourite look/color

[mystic axle]

fr

[storm magnet]

p90 + humbucker can do alot of tones and styles (mostly the amp does it) but its very reliable too

i like it overall

anyways @mystic axle tysm for helping me

[mystic axle]

np

im always up to convert someone to the religion of P90ism

[storm magnet]

hahah

[mystic axle]

ohyeah i keep forgetting i gotta buy my own gear lol

[storm magnet]

ive never thought of using p90 so thats awesome to try something

[storm magnet]

what u buying

[mystic axle]

strings and 2 pedals im thinking if i need anything else

[storm magnet]

tbh im 300 dollars away to buying my guitar

lmao

i used too much on my current guitar and amp (even thought i bought it long time ago) im very broke rn
