Missed opportunity: the body in the picture should have been for an arch-top guitar.

first you've gotta compile a planet with an atmosphere for the sound to travel through before even thinking about playing the guitar

No, you gotta build everything from the big bang onwards.

you joke, but in earlier days (circa 2002) it took my imac g3 5 days to compile the gentoo distro kernel; after day 3 i started to wonder if i was compiling the universe. lol

You folks are living in the stone age. In the current millennium, plenty of consumer-grade pre-built planets are available.

All you have to do is occasionally spend your weekend debugging incompatibility of gravity and quantum layers.

hopefully they will add binaries into flatpak or something. i hate to compile gui apps

At least you end up with an actual useable instrument at the end and not a plastic toy

Great, as soon as you have that working we'll just make it useless in Ubuntu and rebundle everything plus their mothers in a snap

Classic Canonical.

Don't forget to remove your specificas to build it from source from your tarballs so snap is forced upon the average pleb.

Just send you a Makefile from us; You can probably make use of it over there. File is MPLv2! Cheers

One of those rare games with an actually good native Linux version

Lots of negative scores over there. On the joke community. Way to feed the trolls everyone.

This is far too linear, where are my choices? There must be a fork of this body that is full of switches and got an included amplifier.

Only five missing dependencies, ten configuration mistakes and three compiler errors to go.

Just google "apt repository for guitar model X" and you'll find out someone has already assembled and packaged yours.

Man, I had Frets on Fire loaded with every song imaginable. I loved that shit.

I got Clone Hero recently and I love it, but my time with the ol’ hero games has passed.

Damn, I remember installing it in the school's computer and playing during classes while holding the keyboard just like in the game logo.

Yes, I was the weird kid.

I've seen them on AliExpress. They likely sound and play like shit but that's besides the point of the novelty of building your own functional guitar.

I saw a double-neck kit that I'm really considering as a gift for a friend of ours.

3

Ok now I'm looking for kits. I bought the lowest tier Jackson warrior and you get what you pay for. I should've gone higher up the product list.

1

Not true. Those pieces look like they fit together.

Edit: I bet it even came with human readable instructions.

Challenge accepted!

I've rebuilt guitars before, don't see any reason I can't built one from scratch with all the proper parts.

Yeah? Try it with building wheel for wxPython apps for 10 arches.

I don't even play but I'd love to assemble a guitar.

Same ! This looks so satisfying !! Hope they have proper manual though... Not an outsourced Polish only image based manual... Uhhhg !

5

These kits do come with step by step manuals, but one of the reasons to get one in the first place is to modify it. It makes sense to figure out what each part does, instead of following a manual.

I do play and I absolutely guarantee any guitar I would try assemble would play so so badly. Setting up a guitar is an exercise in precision engineering with wood.

an exercise in precision engineering with wood

With wood, an hilariously imprecise material (for anyone who doesn't know). It refuses precision on principle first, and then just on occasion, at every opportunity later.

That delicious (infuriating) imprecision is probably why it can sound so frickin great, though, so...

> sudo make guitar

*ends up in dependency hell*

Where the hell did I leave my shark repellent?

7

The guitar binary has a dependency on the curser package which is a deprecated version of cursor with an accidental misspelling. Running the make with sudo replaced this at the system level. Best just to reinstall.

I just wish someone was making half decent 3rd party hardware to use with Clone Hero thats NOT over $60.

5

goodwill or other such type stores is the only option. or a garage sale with an unknowing seller

* Some parts are now sanctioned and cannot be distributed at the moment

Uuu, that's a nice take, I like that.

Too bad it might not be a joke in the future.

I got 9 of those! Analog and windows free ☺️ The sustainiac humbucker on one of them does require a battery chance from time to time though 🎸

Gaming on linux is not that bad today. Look at valve's success with the steamdeck. All past and present issues are because developers were aiming to a different platform, with proprietary tooling.

In meme terms, is like Fender made the guitars for people with different hands. You can't play, but it's their fault.

Me when I learn Clone Hero on Linux needs increased file limit to run without freezing:
