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
Almost want to get one and just max out everything on it, pickups, strings, headstock, make it my signature guitar π
$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
If you're into cigar box guitars these two would be ideal
Letβs congratulate Fender for inventing balalaika ππ
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.
This just seems more fun to mess around with than use as a serious instrument, especially knowing me as a kid, but even now
You can put whatever size strings you want on them. Low or high. These have been around for years. Kids love them.
Squier minis make more sense for small kids than subtracting strings
Replace the small string for bigger strings π²π₯π₯π₯
I need you to put this through the ENGL Special edition founders edition
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.
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.
My kids love the Loog guitar we have
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.
I absolutely want one in every classic Fender color on hanging on my wall
