Johnny Silverhand guitar

[solid knot]

Sup chat, I'm tryna buy my first electric guitar and I want something that looks similar to Johnny Silverhand's guitar from Cyberpunk 2077, give me some names of guitars that look as such (if any exist lol).

[obtuse terrace]

you can buy replicas of his guitar

people make those

if youre in china i remember seeing a guy make a batch of those (90% accuracy replica) for like 700 usd per

if youre not try those secondhand platforms or reverb

[obtuse terrace]

but as far as i know no brand makes this specific design

this part here

[solid knot]

Thank you i will look into it

[gilded linden]

this looks cursed .. especially as a first guitar, buy something that plays well

the bridge looks a bit like the one on my NK ... but at that angle it probably won't even work

[obtuse terrace]

that headless bridge design is purely there to hold the strings

actual angle is held by the weird TOM + tailpiece

it works as a design just a look-over-functionality one

[obtuse terrace]

for some reason the replicas of this that ive played feels quite ok to play on

weird bridge doesnt make it feel bad

nor is it inconvenient for tuning

[gilded linden]

Still would not recommend anything like this for a first guitar, simple hardtail would be my recommendation

[obtuse terrace]

those tune like any simple hardtail

[solid knot]

by any chance do you know where to get these replicas? all i see is 1/6 of his guitar, where can i find the real thing

[obtuse terrace]

some people make those and sells them on the cn platforms (this ones on xianyu and 3k cny is 450 usd)

[obtuse terrace]

non cn platforms idk

im gon check on reverb tho one sec

nope none on reverb

if you insist on the look you can take a hacksaw/router and remove a part of a normal guitar

not accurate representation of guitar but you get the idea

add some stickers and chisel+metal plate for the worn look

those for the pickup looks exist

and a few more details here n there

[solid knot]

thanks man i appreciate it ill probably get a replica for now, will try doing the hacksaw method later in my guitar journey 😂

✅

[kind oar]

Dont the replicas suck like idk but for a first guitar wouldnt u be beter of just buying a regular good guitar also samurai music sucks anyway lol

[solid knot]

I wouldnt know but cmon man, you cant tell me never fade away and ballad of the buck reavers aint bangers

[kind oar]

I mean the game is awsome but the music aint it bro 😭

I wouldnt buy the replica if u actually want to play guitar

[solid knot]

Why not i doubt its plays any different than a normal guitar?

[kind oar]

Lol

I dont know thr replica maker so yes maybe he really know his stuff and the guitar isnt half bad at all

U would probably still be overpaying for the specs

So in my opinion if want to play guitar buy a better guitar for that money

[solid knot]

Ill probably do that then

And then get someone to customize it into johnnys for me lol

[kind oar]

But as a first guitar it will just be inconvenient and be way less then u could have

But i do admit having a johhny silverhand guitar is awsome

[solid knot]

Sometimes you have to make sacrifices to achieve your goals

[kind oar]

Ye but for ur first guitar id not make a sacrifice

[solid knot]

Fair, but the temptation of having a johnny silverhand guitar is too graat

Great

[kind oar]

But i know nothing about the replica if u can find some info on it maybe it is actually a decent one

But again however big of a cyberpunk fan i am i aint buying such an impractical guitar as my first one

[solid knot]

Ill see, ill probably stick with the idea of buying a normal guitar and sawing jt into the shape

Even if it is impractical

As long as i can play

Im gucci

[kind oar]

Ye just do what you want lol im just some random guy il never speak to again probably if u really want it who cares what i have to say lol

[solid knot]

Haha good point, i ill get it a normal guitar and customize it 👍

That is my final decision

[kind oar]

Alright

If u end up getting it done and remember me wish u wont send me a pick i think its an awsome idea

[solid knot]

👍

[obtuse terrace]

functionality wise its not any different than a normal guitar

[kind oar]

Wouldnt u get a better guitar at this prise tho

[obtuse terrace]

yeah thats for sure because the extra labor work is money

if done properly its theorectically even better than a normal hardtail

[kind oar]

But ion understand how the headless bridge works on it

[obtuse terrace]

the headless bridge holds the ball end

and the strings go through a normal TOM

with a tailpiece to correct the weird break angle

[kind oar]

Damn its pretty cool actually

[obtuse terrace]

not more convenient than a normal guitar

but also not worse

if hes got the budget and the means to get one why not

[kind oar]

Ye but worse hardware i suppose

[obtuse terrace]

most replica makers for those use low end hardware but theyre still standard parts

can always put a same size kahler on there and etc

[kind oar]

True that

Well considering he said he would get one custom made for him i think he dont really got a budget

[obtuse terrace]

or he doesnt know the costs of customing.

[kind oar]

Well he did not even seem uncomfortable with cutting a piece out of his guitar with a hecksaw

[stiff oyster]

There was some luthier that showed up in the VC here few months ago, said he could do that exact build, fully custom

@iron folio Did he ever end up making your custom strandberg clone for ya? He was the same guy right?

[iron folio]

Not yet

No, @unique carbon is the one.
