> Another one that comes to my mind - clean channel doesn't matter. In a sense, people chase clean channels on amps for the most pristine clean tone. But the ugly truth is, that you can work out usable and nice clean tones from virtualy anything - just add bit of compression, bit of dirt, or...
It is the only tone that matters to me to be honest.
I did the whole tone chasing, did not enjoy playing my guitar. Got myself an amp that sounded great in shop. Now i am playing a ton.
I know exactly what you mean, I built mine over the years and it is a piece of cake.
Allen keys, rest for the neck of the guitar, keys etc.
But as a collage kid when new set of strings is a real expense, it used to be a big task.
I fully agree with you, if one has the time and money, playing...
Having access to decent space and tools for dedicated purpose makes a huge huge difference. Changing the setup in a small cramped apartment becomes a chore, even though the actual task itself is quiet simple.
Well, natrually, depending on the note you are tuned to, your guitars neck and materials, some gauges will sound better than others. As well as using the incorrect gauge will sound off.
Bostjan would know better.
After sticking to 13-53 for so long, I am back to experimenting again trying to...
I go between jazz and metal, I am a rarity here where I use only one guitar for everything. Modern Flatwounds are quiet bright, so no complaints. I had Thomastik Inkfields 13-53's, before that D'addarios. The Inkfields are pretty good strings, very versatile, they have a weird tension feel...
I am using flatwounds or Coated Elixir's, the tension and feel varies a lot across brands.
I am thinking of tuning to C F C F c f now, will continue with thinner strings than before.
My guitar just responds better, notes are easier (duh!) and leads sound clean and beautiful compared to the...
I was using 13-53's for a few years (B to E) on 27" scale length, as you can imagine the tension was insane and the high E was always on the limit of snapping.
I got a pair of 11-49's Elixirs as a gift from a friend, which I put on,
the tension is almost half now, but loving the tone. The...
Having your neck def makes it worth it,deeply scalloped and tall frets are a must. Will Warmoth necks fit your budget ?

You can also look at Sitambura's for deisgn inspiration
AKG 271 is a great headphone, 371 is strange. If you like the Harman curve, then it is literally the best headphone out there minus the build quality having some compromises. If you don't like the Harman curve, then other headphones will do better.
Going with established classics like the 271...
Cannot help you with the electric sitar, the EHX pedal is not bad but cannot sound like the real thing.
Honestly, any harp guitar will get you close enough to that sound.
