Musicians and instruments

Just a random post.

Was wondering if any of the forum members play musical instruments?

Guitar. I have a customized Telecaster that plays like an Esquire on a tapped single coil humbucker. My respect for those who know what I'm talking about

I can play Saxophone...And almost one song on Piano

I play guitar hero!

I used to mangle a harmonica...

I play MP3 Player ...can play any song which I can download

Well its a musical instrument

I play Guitar Hero!!! the tuba, trombone & trumpet HuZZzzAaH!!!

I play Rock Band!

ROCKBAND3FTW

I play the best instrument of all, my voice lol

ROCK BAND! the game for real man who rather spend time to play warmachine than learning an actual instrument. Xxxx hero series, wannabes hero.... Muahahahaha!

I am learning to play the Ocarina on iPhone!

I use to know a few guitar songs... Only bare minimum cords.

I bang the piano... with my fist!

Almond are you serious? Or just joking? I bet you can rock the house with a tele. Please tell me it's a classic... 197x at least... Please please be true. I have never ever ever never touch one or seen one in person... Can you bring one if these days.

And rock the house with it!

Did you custom it yourself?

Nah, none of those. Don't have the money to get a 70's Tele. It's an Indonesian Squier. Indonesian made guitars sound way better than China made ones because of the wood quality. And yep, I custom it myself. The wiring, the works. Even changed the tuners/radioheads.

One of these days, I'll be making my own from scratch using Ikea planks

If I have the time. Which I don't, sadly.

Eh almond, where is a good place to get a 2nd hand e guitar for strictly casual play? Im considering getting one.

@Tekanan, you can find one at Lowyat musicians thread or lelong.com.my

I myself own 2 electrics; a Fender Telecaster with Texas pickups and Epiphone sheraton II. Unfortunately the tele needs work with the input jack. Used to play in a tiny band with Uni mates.

wow you are good!

must show one of these days!

You do need good wood la... ikea plank...? oe can go to one of those mills to get wood. Malaysia produce (harvest) some of the best hard wood in the world

True, If I am not mistaken some wood pieces in ikea are maple wood which is good guitar material. But it doesn't mean that its guitar quality maple. You would still need rosewood for the neck. I think it might be cheaper to just order a piece from the states / uk.

I'd like a maple fingerboard one of these days. Playing with rosewood tends to get hot.

@tekanan: Second hand guitar? Geee... that's a tough one. I guess you can check mudah.com.my for good deals. But if you're just looking for new practice axe, the Squier Affinity series are good if you like Fender guitars. There's a damn good black Epiphone Les Paul beginner guitar that went for about RM550 or so, but I'm not sure if there's any left right now.

addendum: I nearly forgot, good cheap brands that provide awesome bang for buck are Cort and G&L, though G&L prices tends to be among the standard brands lately.

Don't forget SX guitars the best copies from China lolz... Some say even better than Squires!

Yes, almost bought one because it looked so good Luckily got no money for second guitar at that time.

Yep, I should go to Woh Fatt see if they still sell SX. I sold a Mexican Fender Stratocaster before I got married. So missing it right now :'( The sound on that thing.. It was a choice between my Tele or my Strat.. Tele from Japan, Strat from Mexico :'(( whyyy.... but very gay blue color though

I prefer Japan. They have better electronics. The workmanship is pretty good too.
