DIY Guitarist!

I started to learn guitar way too older, but I am going to give it a good try! Better late than never - right?

Hi, I live in Bengaluru, India and just like many others who live in this area, I am an IT professional. Being an avid fan of Metallica from early 2000s, guitar was always something I looked into. But never could venture into learning it. In 2018, I finally said this is it and I am going to give it a try.

I initially started learning myself, using a game called Rocksmith 2014 and later switched over to Yousician. In 2019, decided to join a classroom to learn guitar better and in a more traditional way. That certainly is putting me in the right track. So here I am!

Oh wait, I am a Mechanical Engineer by qualification from my under graduate degree, like to play around with tools and interested in DIY. So been tinkering a bit with guitar amps and guitars. So I also thought why don't I build my own instruments! So that's how I built my 4 string bass, and that was just a start!

Which song is this?

    I have not reviewed Vault RG1 (You can ask Bajaao to send me one to review :) ) . But I feel you can go with Vault as I feel they may have the better sales support and return policies.

  • @DIYGuitarist
    @DIYGuitarist4 ай бұрын

    Of course there is a big hype for Rosewood in Western world whereas we Indians feel Maple is superior. I can only think the expression - "grass is always greener on the other side" We will do a playthrough comparison as well, but there was little observable differences in tonality. Bajaao don't have Maple fretboard Vault guitars on their store, I assume they don't provide this option anymore. I feel Maple has a better look than cheap fretboard wood used in Juarez. I haven't seen the material used in darker fretboard Vault guitars.

    @@DIYGuitarist What I said about is not about the tonal difference. No one can differentiate the tonal difference in blindfold. Even it's not about western prefer Rosewood, We Indian think maple is superior 😊 I have a friend who got vault strat with Rosewood or Indian Laurel fretboard. When I played it, I don't know what's wrong. There was something not quite right especially in the higher frets. Maybe due to the build quality. I saw one guy on KZread reviewing his Vault strat with maple fretboard. He said the fretboard was really nice and smooth in that price range. I think even Vault with maple fretboard is costlier. I don't know why they discontinued maple fretboard. I think the earlier Vault guitars were much better in the build quality than those vault guitars produced recently.

    I feel the Vault guitars with Maple fretboard is of better quality as well. Till I found this one, I had not seen a Vault Strat in reality. I used to think that it is just another Juarez with Vault logo. This one certainly changed my perception. I see Bajaao now has Henrix Strat with Maple fretboard, but with 21 frets than 22 on this one. It may be the way Bajaao wants to bring back Maple fretboard Strats.

    It depends on the person playing the guitar. Most of us started since the early 90s. Those days and even now most of us cannot afford expensive branded guitar. However many of us performed and are even performing live on stage with very cheap musical instruments and doing great shows. The audience is least bothered about the brand or expensiveness of our equipments. They cheer for us for our melodies. Cost or brand of the instrument does not matter. What matters is the musician playing it. Its a great but I must say. Even earlier i had brought few second hand guitars and they are much better than branded and expensive ones.
