Kirk Hammett is gonna love these
Basically they are well built electrified cigar box guitars. Adults can do a lot with those too. Itβs a subculture.
Put some heavy strings on this thing and put it in drop a through the rectifier
$200 when i could just pull a couple strings off a squier mini and add them on gradually .... and still use standard pickups in it πππ
As a guitar teacher who has taught tons of kids between the ages of 7-10, just get your kids a regular guitar or maybe a 3/4 scale if they are a really little kid. I have yet to have a student be overwhelmed by 6 strings lmao. Your kid is going to outgrow this thing in like a year and they are going to be severely limited in what they can do on the guitar. Just buy your kid a 6 string
Almost want to get one and just max out everything on it, pickups, strings, headstock, make it my signature guitar π
Squier minis make more sense for small kids than subtracting strings
As a beginner guitar not great as I think most kids will be fine with 6 strings but this may have a lot of potential with experienced players who will find creative ways to use these for new sounds.
This just seems more fun to mess around with than use as a serious instrument, especially knowing me as a kid, but even now
Bought one and did a lot of carving just to put a dime bucker and a floyd rose and it is the funniest thing ever to fuck around with.
Triads. Triads and more triads. It took me 15 years to even think of triads as a thing (yeah, Iβd been using them forever ad hoc, along with dyads, but until the internet I didnβt realise triads were a whole concept in playing). These guitars kinda force you to use triads from the get go. Which is probably a good thing. When I did work out that triad playing was a meme (in the real meaning of the word) my playing just exploded. I can (and in the 80s, did) play keyboards so it was a simple thing to connect triads on the black and whites with triads on the frets, once I realised it was a way of looking at the guitar. And although I doubt any kid is gonna take 15 years to βgetβ triads, knowledge is power after all, a guitar like these forces you to think that way.
I need you to put this through the ENGL Special edition founders edition
These just seem like a marketing ploy, we have small scale for kids. To me the less strings will just eventually confuse them when they move to a real guitar.
If you're into cigar box guitars these two would be ideal
Replace the small string for bigger strings π²π₯π₯π₯
Letβs congratulate Fender for inventing balalaika ππ
Honesty shocked Ibanez haven't already done this as a Paul Gilbert sig. Tune all 3 strings to E and it's perfect for "Get out of my yard" style stuff!
These are so pointless. I want one in red.
You can put whatever size strings you want on them. Low or high. These have been around for years. Kids love them.
