Buys New Electric Guitar, Reports Back — 5ch: “My Mom Says It’s a Gross Color”

Written by

in

In the Nandemo Jikkyo (Anything Goes Live) forum, a user showed off a newly bought electric guitar with a neon-colored body, sparking a lively thread. The user said their mother called it a “gross color,” but other users quickly recognized it as a TAK signature model, and the discussion grew to cover topics like restringing a Floyd Rose tremolo and choosing a multi-effects unit.

Other participants also shared photos of their own guitars and Playtech (a budget guitar brand) instruments, and the conversation continued with talk about gear for recreating the sound of bands like B’z and GLAY.

Cool! ✨
3Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:07:13.51ID:oF6gszUSr
Jangly rhythm, shreddy solos, wailing distortion — that's the plan!? 🥺

Jangling and shredding is fun
8Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:11:11.59ID:ULWIsR2v0
Why'd you buy it used?
What's the story there?

It's an old guitar that's not sold anymore

I was going to get the blue one, but after trying it out I liked this one better, so I went with neon. My mom says it's a gross color, but no worries (mo man tai — Cantonese-derived slang for "no problem")

That's an MG-M2!
TAK's old signature model, right?
Restringing looks like a pain — you doing okay with it?
18Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:15:41.80ID:vKLd1LrI0

That's the Matsumoto model!
Seriously, that's a color worth celebrating!!
13Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:14:11.02ID:X342ZIU30
Well then, in return, here's mine

Apparently every single one of them
is one of a kind

Oh, and I see you're running a Mooer GE300 down at your feet —
I saw that on YouTube and was curious about it
74Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:51:11.16ID:IU99N1Hx0
>>13
I wanna hear you play it
14Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:14:41.12ID:nVIs3Vz70
>>12
That's right, I got the MG-M2G ✌
I was pretty nervous about my first guitar ever having a Floyd Rose, but apparently with this Floyd Rose-type you don't have to cut the ball end off the strings, so it turned out to be surprisingly easy
20Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:16:22.85ID:X342ZIU30
>>14
If you don't have to cut the ball end off, that makes it easy!
22Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:17:15.00ID:vKLd1LrI0
>>14
Yamaha's Rockin' Magic strings
work whether you cut it or not
15Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:14:41.90ID:Z+Oi+R0C0
Let's start by playing "Bad Feeling"
17Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:15:41.14ID:nVIs3Vz70
>>15
I really can't nail the vibrato on that riff, it's tough…
26Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:18:19.84ID:IQuqZBeZ0
Should I show off my Playtech too?
29Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:19:21.06ID:nVIs3Vz70
>>26
I've got a Playtech I borrowed from my brother too!
31Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:21:49.59ID:vKLd1LrI0
>>26
Let's see it
I've been wanting a Playtech SG lately

I hate side-mounted jacks on the body
I like top-mounted ones
so I've basically only ever bought Strats
Telecasters were nice too
but I let mine go for the reason above
27Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:18:52.34ID:nVIs3Vz70
>>22
It's such a convenient, easy-to-use Floyd Rose type, but it's a bummer it's not compatible with the original or GOTOH parts
32Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:22:28.06ID:vKLd1LrI0
>>27
If it were compatible,
Yamaha would probably get sued lol
30Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:21:26.86ID:X342ZIU30
>>24
I mean it's already over 7 years old at this point, so it's kind of outdated
these days there are better ones for cheaper
SONICAKE's QME-20 looks pretty solid, for instance
36Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:24:15.54ID:nVIs3Vz70
>>30
Yeah, seems like buying a newer multi-effects unit really is cheaper and performs better
38Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:25:21.04ID:X342ZIU30
>>36
It's a digital product after all,
it gets outdated fast
Honestly you're better off just buying whatever's newest at the time
41Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:26:59.44ID:TMGSbQFL0
>>36
If you're not playing in front of people,
do you even need a multi-effects unit?

I've got a ZOOM bass multi-effects unit hooked up to my guitar
one with a built-in looper
actually I only bought it for the looper function,
but I've never once used it as a looper lol
the presets sound really good,
so I own two of them — one just for presets
and I use the other to dial in my own tone
35Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:23:39.33ID:X342ZIU30
>>33
I polished it out with some compound and got away with it
37Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:24:18.67ID:TMGSbQFL0
>>35
Looks like a doorknob (lol)
39Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:25:41.12ID:nVIs3Vz70

I was going to take a photo, but I'd been practicing my cutting technique even though I'm bad at it, and my right hand started bleeding and got blood all over the body, making it look gross, so I gave up…
43Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:27:31.99ID:TMGSbQFL0
>>39
That's a shame

Is it a Les Paul?
46Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:28:28.53ID:TMGSbQFL0
>>43
My ID is TMG (lol)
47Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:28:42.03ID:nVIs3Vz70
>>43
It's a cheap little red Strat lol
42Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:27:11.72ID:nVIs3Vz70

I just happened to see it on YouTube — there was someone using a Mooer GE300 to recreate early B'z's Rockman sound, and I thought I wanted to copy that, so I've been going back and forth on it. But even though it's old, it's not exactly cheap either, so I'm still torn
54Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:31:30.91ID:X342ZIU30
>>42
Ah, I see
For a B'z sound, there was a video by a guy named Yuji Imanishi recreating it with a multi-effects unit
can't remember which one it was, though
44Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 14:28:15.03ID:FpeqoR9o0
I bought a guitar too 😳

That exact image popped into my head earlier when I was taking my photo lol

Isn't this the one with the Azu-nyan (K-On! character) speech pattern meme?

That's a nostalgic image lol

Set your amp to the EVH 5150 model, cab to EVH too, gain around 2 for a clean tone, add a Blues Driver-model stomp box for moderate overdrive, and throw on a light plate reverb — that'll get you a HISASHI (GLAY guitarist)-ish sound
79Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 15:01:42.22ID:nqgVxoc80
>>77
Ah, so it's HISASHI
80Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 15:02:34.98ID:nVIs3Vz70
>>77
I've got a 5150 II head at home, so I'll give it a shot too! Though I'm pretty new to GLAY
