So, I've fallen in love with the MIJ Telecaster Offsets by Fender, but they've been discontinued and are no longer sold by Fender (other than their Paranormal series, which I'm not fond of).

Are there any places that sell custom-built Telecaster Offsets? Or, at least, ones with a very similar MIJ Telecaster Offset look? Here's an example of one I saw. Unfortunately, Fender doesn't sell anything close to this MIJ model anymore. I think the biggest problem is the pickups—I genuinely love the Telecaster pickups they used, but in every Fender Squire model, they have Jazzmaster pickups (I don’t know the names, so I apologize).

I'm willing to get an MIJ Telecaster Offset-styled guitar and just add a Fender neck to get that maple feel, but I'm not willing to build one myself. Also, I'm ideally looking for something brand new.

(I apologize if I'm not using the correct flair for this Reddit post. If so, please do correct me, and I'll change it!)

(Sorry if some things I say don't really make sense as I'm just getting into learning this all and have only watched covers of music I enjoy) I've never owned an electric guitar before and was wondering what the best guitar + aux or any other things that would be best for Indie music (like CAS, Mac Demarco, TV Girl, The NBHD, Wallows, Vacations) (and only if possible versatile for a few other similar genres) and on a small budget. Additionally should I buy used or brand new? Also, is there anything else I should learn as someone who is clueless about guitars?

Spotted this beauty of an Electric Cello today. Was wondering why I haven’t seen something similar as a modern Electric Guitar (I’m no Luthier or Guitar builder but a version or something similar would be nice).

Guitar design seems to have stagnated. The only ones that I’ve seen that come close are ones from Prince and KISS… oh and some of the nice travelling guitars. Granted this cello would have to be modified to allow better fretboard access.

There are some beautiful guitars out there but they are all based of Telecasters or Stratocasters on one side and the Les Paul and SG on the other and those designs are just based in the 50’s and 60’s. Guitars like the Explorer and Flying V are just too 70’s.

Maybe the Electric Guitar has hit its perfect designs like the Piano. But I would love to see more art and performance guitar/bass pieces out in the wild from the 21st Century.

I don't know if this is the correct flair to use (help) but please help me if you can. I'm a relatively new guitar player, I'm a vocalist in a band, and my birthday is coming up. All my friends gathered money to buy me my dream guitar... question is where we find it?

Do you guys know by any chance where I could find either a Washburn dime or a dime dean (with floyd) for new, not used, for around seven hundred dollars?

If there's any chance that we could still find those for new...

It's been my dream to own one of those since I was a kid... it'd be awesome if you guys could help Me!

I'm sorry if I violated any community rules with my request... I don't use reddit very often...

Thanks in advance to everyone!

Pick for attention 😉

Hi all! (I hope I don't get banned for this). I sent the mods here mod mail asking, but they've not responded, so I'm in a "better to ask forgiveness..." position at this point.

I'm the mod over at r/toobamps and I'm starting a new Discord server and would like to invite anyone and everyone to join. It will be heavily gear focused, but we'll have channels for playing, learning, and hopefully a classifieds eventually. And we're open to suggestions as we get off the ground (hopefully get off the ground).

Anyway, if you're interested, please stop by and say hello!

Mods, if you're not cool with this, please delete and accept my apologies.

I took this picture of the back of the headstock. It's a Frankie guitar replica but I feel like the body was painted to look like a Frankie. I put this guitar on layaway at my local pawn shop and I want to know if it's legit and if the $1000 price is worth it. I tried looking at forums online and couldn't find anything.

I’ve got the itch for getting into some Drop B and Drop A songs and want to get the right guitar to complement my Chris Cornell ES-335 and my Fender Strat American Standard.

I currently have my eyes on PRS SE Mark Holcombe because I’ve wanted a PRS anyway.

Was also looking at the Matt Heafy epiphone.

Thoughts/Reviews/Ideas are very much welcomed.

Looking to get a tod10n but its hard to find sellers here in the philippines. Is this authentic? The seller said its a legit tod10n and the shop is highly rated. My other option is to get one from audiophileph, but it costs 7k more and still out of stock.

Does anyone know if Fender will have a Black Friday sales that is worth waiting for? There is a FSR guitar that I am probably going to end up getting and will not be available elsewhere. Just wondering whether anyone has input before I make a decision.

I’m looking to add a resonator to my collection, I’m looking at a few guitars and trying to decide on some budget guitars. Realistically I don’t play out and wont be anymore. Since resos are like hens teeth, I don’t have too many options to try out guitars. I did try a metal body gretsch that I liked, other than the neck (too much of a V). My realistic budget puts me into the Gretsch/Johnson/Recording King/Republic realm. I could stretch into 80s dobro, but nationals are right out.

I used to have a RK and a Republic Tricone square neck, but now have a Gretsch spider cone, which is really fine for my bedroom, porch playing.

Wondering what the internet thinks. I found a Johnson Tricone for $300, which would suit the bill, other than that I hate the logo (I know — shallow), or a few Republics, which would be sight unseen purchases on Reverb.

Any suggestions? I know I see other peoples posts and I’m always thinking buy that and play it, you’ll have more fun on it than no guitar. Not that I have no guitar, but I have been playing the same ovation since the 1980s.

It sounds silly I'm sorry but I really can't find a solid answer. I won't be taking any additional gear. How do I check it in and whatnot?

Thanks yall. I'll be flying delta if that makes a difference.

Got this guitar when I was younger but rarely played it. Replaced the humbucker probably thinking it would make me a better player :-) It's in excellent condition. Still have the case it came in.

I've seen a few for sale but I'm trying to determine a reasonable price if I wanted to sell it and where would be best to sell it. I know a store would probably give me less but at least I'm just dealing with a store.

Hi, most cheap tortoise shell pickguards look super cheap but Fender is trying to rip everyone of with their 70$ ones.

Whats a good brand in between?

I'm going back to study guitar after a very, very long hiatus and I would like to practicing traditional jazz. Keep in mind that I am not good, I'm just a beginner, and I won't become good. I just love music and want to play to the best of my possibilities, which is pretty mediocre anyway.

Having said that, I have a budget for a nice beginner guitar (like, below $700), and I singled out Ibanez AF95FM and AG95 as possible options. You guys think that there could be reasonable choices? Unfortunately I won't have the chance to try both and will have to buy online. Currently I have a slope shoulder acoustic which I believe is pretty much the same size of the AF95. I am not comfortable with bigger guitars, like typical square shoulder dreads, due to health issues. So I was thinking that maybe I could go for the AG to be even more comfortable. Any suggestion or opinion in general between AF and AG?

I want to split my money evenly between guitar and amp, but the choices are so many that I can't decide which one to go with. I personally love Stratocaster for the Design.

Edit: I want no used guitars.
