Hello,
I’m lookin for an acoustic guitar at 300 euro and notice this one, but couldn’t find too many details about it? Anyone know it? Know what it’s worth? Owner says it’s about 20 years old and worth 1000 euro. New strings and was checked, includes case
I have a Fender at the moment and I love it...BUT it is quite a loud guitar, and I tend to play more folk / Indie / soft rock stuff, so I'm looking for a gentler sound.
Can anyone recommend anything? I'm pretty clueless as to what I should be looking for.
Not looking to spend a huge deal, but for the right guitar maybe.
Many thanks
I am trying to figure out what strings to use for different tunings and using the Stringjoy tension calculator, l've found a set of strings that provides nearly the same tension as my other standard tuned guitar.
My only real question is do larger string gauges require more tension in order to not be floppy? For example, according to the tension calculator, dropping my E string to D is 15.2 lbs of tension. I am looking at using .054 for drop B which on my guitar would be ~15.1 lbs of tension. Would this "feel" the same other than a thicker string or would it be floppier because it's thicker?
These are my current gigging guitars
A couple months ago, one of my friends was asking to join the band that I had co founded, and all of the other members agreed to her joining as a rhythm guitarist. In the beginning, she was struggling a little bit to keep up with the rest of the band, which I kind of expected was to be normal. Our first show with her went decently well, although she had her guitar volume lower on accident so you couldn't really hear her. However, as time has past, I've found myself not enjoying the lack of contributions she provides to the band. It takes her forever to learn songs, and she doesn't bother with attempting to contribute to songwriting either. She's also limited in technical skill for songs that some of us like and want to play, which irritates me quite a bit. It feels like she's mostly there for her boyfriend (who is our drummer) and not to actually play seriously, or even perhaps improve. I don't know how the rest of the band feels about this, but I personally think she's not a good fit for the band anymore, and would like to move on without her. How would I go about telling my bandmates this in a way that doesn't risk me getting kicked out?
Think I might need to noodle on this one in honor of that.
I’m looking at getting an Epiphone Les Paul Standard 60s. This would be my first LP. I own a JV Modified 60s Strat (Made in Japan) and a Schecter AM6. But before I pull the trigger, are there any other ones I should consider? I would use it from cleans to rock. Think Green Day, AC/DC, etc.
Also, would this be under the “Inspired by Gibson” range? I really don’t want to pay Gibson prices if I can get something that sounds the same or less.
Not the best quality image, but can anyone tell what Rebecca (lovely lady on the left) is holding here? From Larkin Poe on Conan.
Picked this blank up recently and trying to ID brand. I’ve got it all setup and it sounds great. But curious if anyone can identify base on headstock etc… it sure would help me find a few specific parts. Thanks!
This is my first Guitar and I got it like 30 minutes ago

Someone in my area is selling an EVH 15W amp at a good price which has dropped a couple times. Ad says new tubes but has a ‘ground hum’. Not much electronic experience and suppose it could be a few different things. Stay away or NBD?
I'm searching for acoustic Guitar models with very good amplification to perform live without sound nuisances and without "acid" sound typical of low budget models. My budget Is around 400/500 euros.
Is there any difference in quality between Schaller and Fender locking tuners or is one just as good as the other? I want them for a MIM strat that's just a few years old.
Alright so I have a squier mustang HH and I was wondering how i could add replace the humbuckers and add jazzmaster pickups instea. I was looking everywhere but couldn't find any help so how would i do it.

Received a ‘23 Epi SG for Christmas and man is it a great present!
A lot of fun and very easy to play. Tuning stability not as bad as the internet says. Still roller saddles wouldn’t hurt.
In fact I can see myself tinkering with it some and making it my custom model lol. I love it!
Which multi effect guitar processor will be the best as my first one? I’m looking into the $500 budget, I think of buying the pod go or the ampero 2, is there any better choice?
Hi, just want an opinion.
I'm buying a guitar and I want to get in the ballpark of this wonderful guitar tone, so I ask about your opinion
https://youtu.be/NFAoiMz3pcU is the riff in the intro played on what guitar? My guess is a Telecaster
I'm looking for a semi-hollow body along the lines of an E-335, but with 25.5" scale length, ideally with a top price limit of $1500.
At the moment, seems the only thing that fits the bill on the market (new) is the Squier CV Starcaster.
Any other suggestions?
