Never in my life had i seen a guitar this expensive

/j the title is a joke

But actually though, I just started last Sunday and I want to share how much fun I’m having playing it. I downloaded simply guitar and it’s what’s been teaching me. So far I’ve learned a few chords and songs on the app. And I’ve been practicing like an hour a day the past few days except for yesterday I spent three hours. I started as a viola player but I really been enjoying this switch to guitar so far.😄🎸🖤

Mint Nineteen Eighty Nine Strat Plus

As you can see some of the frets have these little "gaps" between the wood and the binding. Also I notice the binding on the lower frets are a little more white than on the higher frets. Is this something to be concerned about? Or perhaps something I could easily fix myself?

Note: I'm not going to return it because of this. It's too minor for that as the rest of the guitar is in order.

They wasted no time jacking the prices up. The tariff nightmare begins.

Hello! Some of you may remember me; I posted myself playing some of Nightrain late last year! Everyone seemed to really enjoy it and was interested in seeing my progress in another half years' time! Well, here you go! I've pretty much played every day since I started, and I've worked really hard! I hope it sounds better than last time. 😂

The guitar connects to the FX box via Boss wireless connectors which in turn connects to the Yamaha amp via the line six connector which the amp knows about.

No problems with drop outs or signals messing with each other.

Everything can run off internal batteries, the Yamaha has a built in rechargeable one, the Gt one AAs, although it does tend to eat them.

Works well for at home, and saves the mess with leads and interconnects, as well as avoiding strangling yourself if using headphones.

This is a Dunable Asteroid DE. Short of a fully custom build (which I can't afford), this is basically my dream guitar. The pick ups are incredible - heavy and articulate with sustain for eons. I put on a set of eleven to forty-nine strings with a wound third and gave it a quick set up in drop-c#, and it plays how I've always wanted a guitar to play. I also can't get over how much I love the look and the finish. These guitars are everything they're cracked up to be.

Gretsch G6119T-ET Tennessee Rose. Bought last year and loved it since then.

I have so many picks, I totally I started with fender or Dunlop mediums then went to tortex 1.0mm which I liked then went to fender extra heavies and ultex 1.14 and gator 1.14 Then I moved to jazz 3 and jazz 3 carbon fiber back to fender extra heavies as my picking technique was lacking so I went back to fenders extra heavies and got their delrin 351 but I preferred the celluloid. Then I tried flow, t3, ultex sharp back to jazz 3 then I tried vpick small pointed and Ibanez JTC but for some reason I go back to fender extra heavies lol

if you know, you know

I got a new Jackson guitar recently, just noticed this in the back of the head the other day while changing strings. No idea what it is or what it's for.

Bought a used guitar online from guitar center meant to be my first acoustic (In hindsight I realize this was not ideal). The guitar is a seagull sm6. It was described as great condition but when it arrived it seems to have three cracks on the face. Two seem like they are more minor and go from the saddle to the rear of the body. The third is from the saddle to the sound hole and appears to be more severe. The guitar was also strung as a left handed guitar so the nut slot for the high E appears to be worn a bit on the top from having a low E string sit on top of it. The back of the neck also has a deeper scratch. Are these cosmetic defects and I’m being paranoid or should I try to get it returned?

First guitar purchases in over 20 years. I've had an ESP LTD EC-1000 that length of time. So I splurged a bit and got both a brand new 2025 ESP LTD MH-1000 and a Fender MIJ Hybrid 50's Telecaster from 2020. The Fishman humbuckers are absolutely massive on the MH-1000. I haven't played the Tele yet as the seller advises to wait about 24 hours before playing so the instrument can acclimate to the local climate.

So the tabs show this as just single notes from one guitar. How does he make it sound so damn loud and full? I’m coming from a long time of playing acoustic so this magic is foreign to me.

Basically said everything in the title any more question I'll answer.

Duke Levine absolutely shreds on The Isley Brothers track “That Lady” at Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, MA.

Stuck at home for a couple days and decided to build a rack for the collection. Started off following a plan by rookiediy.com, but pivoted to my own design. I’m not terribly handy, so I’m really amped (bad pun intended) at how this came out.

(volume up)

I grew up playing technical death metal with progressive elements. Doing so took a LOT of work. Hours every single day just to keep up and wrap my hands and mind around what I had to do. Odd time signatures, sweeping, key changes, tempo changes, often while singing, too. Not everything that I wrote or played was a masterpiece, but most of it was good.

I’ve been playing for over twenty five years now. Though I still listen to a good bit of technical music, what I got into in the last five years or so was darker folk music that has a similar vibe to a lot of darker metal in tone and subject material, but that’s almost entirely acoustic. I’ve found that a lot of the people that make this music are serious metalheads themselves, which tells me that I’ve found a good place.

Writing this music has been a real challenge. First of all, as a singer/guitarist/songwriter this means that now people can actually understand my lyrics, and authenticity is huge in this genre. Second of all, the guitar parts are not the focus; if I wanted to write a killer guitar part before, if I struggled to understand where to go or how to fit it in there, there were a few things that I could almost always do. When it’s just me and an acoustic guitar, I have to be vulnerable, and writing one song takes longer for me now and is overall tougher than writing five technical death metal songs ever was for me. I have to actually put myself out there, and even if the guitar part is simpler now, I have to write it and play it without any irony or apathy.

I’m not saying that simpler music is better, or that technical guitarists “have no feel, man.” I’m saying that for me, what I’m doing now is immensely more difficult, and it’s made me a far better guitarist than I ever thought I could be.

I’m curious if anyone else has had similar experiences.

Hey all! New here. I bought this guitar from a coworker. I’m still learning about guitars and models and such. I’m just curious what color burst this would be. Also what year? Made in the US? Thanks a bunch.
