Can anyone figure out what year my Epiphone was manufactured?

So I was visiting my Dad the other day, and I decided to dig around in his basement, looking for things I may have left there when I moved away. To my surprise I found my old FR-forty eight fender resonator hiding in a case under a stairwell. I thought he sold it years ago, but I guess not. So it’s been sitting in his finished basement in this case for around fourteen years. Even more surprising, it’s still in tune (maybe twenty cents off on the an and low e). So that was cool. 

Unfortunately I didn’t clean it well before I out it was put down there, because now the body has tarnishing all over it. I was wondering if anyone knows how to clean this without harming the chrome? I don’t really play bluegrass any more but this guitar is otherwise in “like-new” condition so I think it deserves a polish, clean, re-string and maybe a new home.

Bought a new Yamaha FS80C acoustic guitar online, it came with a little dent/scrap on the back. Should I return it or can I keep it? (No holes from the other side)

Been looking at Music Nomad or Fast Fret but there are mixed reviews about quality especially how fast they dry out. Is it all that necessary? Maybe coated strings are more cost effective?

Do you guys use string cleaner/lubricant after playing?

It may come as a surprise to some, but this doodad isn’t quite the most sought after product. Consider getting them a: local music store gift card, high quality cables, almost any Ernie Ball product, etc. Happy holidays folks and may all not receive a pick puncher!

My attempt on Eric Johnson's Lonely in the Night First Solo, I used the Plini Plugin to try to emulate Eric's sound, It is not what i hoped for in terms of tone but I worked with it eventually.

What are the best gifts for a guitarist? 

Parameters : 
- thirtyish euro max spend 
- something he will actually use 

A bit about the guitarist in question : 
- plays mostly britpop - oasis, smiths, Beatles and so on
- mostly plays his accoustic - has a stand, a tuner and one of those nice capos

Some ideas I’m not sure of : 
- a cheap pedal ? I’m not good with pedals as I don’t play electric much. If so what would be a cheap suitable pedal for the type of music he plays ?

Hey guys, currently playing on an Epiphone Special-I and using the LT25 Mustang amp to practice, but whenever I practice playing any metal songs, it doesn’t really achieve the metal sound I’m going for even when trying different tunings or even dialing in the settings with the knobs 

I wouldn’t even consider myself intermediate, but I even tried playing around with pick dynamics and the overall sound is just muddy

What do I need to do at this point?

This is Mr Rory Gallagher’s strat, as some of you might guess. Even if you play a single guitar for fifty years and not care about it at all, I don’t think even it would relic this much. Did Rory actively did stuff to make it look more relic? What do you think?

Also, what do you think makes this guitar better than any other pristine guitar to Rory? Is it purely sentimental? It looks beautiful but also old, with all the rust on the pups etc. Can this be superior to a fairly new strat? Or will it be worse?

How can a guitar get reliced this much?

Is it ok? 

Hi there, i just wanted to hear the opinion of others about where i can hang my guitar in my room, since the only available space is above the window. If i drill the guitar hanger above the window it will make my guitar cover the window.And the view of the window is just a wall when i open the blinds, is it ok or it is aesthetically pleasing to hang it there, because i don't have any other options, and i can't use a guitar stand since my room is small 😅

For those of you that have many guitars sitting out, I am curious how often you are changing strings on all your guitars. Do some stay on for a year or so or are you changing all strings on every guitar every few months?

Hello everyone. Recently i got a hand me down guitar from someone i know. I've never played before but was always interested in playing one. Today i sat down to tune the guitar using an app.all the strings came out to be fine but the b string would come upto negative twenty two and then make a click sound and go back to negative forty. Am I doing something wrong or is it a problem with the guitar. It's a four year old Clayton MC39C NT acoustic guitar and the app i used was guitar tuna.please help. Sorry if I seem illiterate it's literally my first time holding a guitar. I'm not even using my strength and it just does this. And I also apologize for the dusty appearance I hate him for not showing this lady any love

First time trying to tune a guitar and i ran into a problem 

I'm using this electric tuner, but I'm not sure what to look for to know that my guitar has been tuned to Drop C. What should it say for each string? Also, any other tuning tips relating to this would be awesome.

Q/ Questions about  upgrades… for a brand new guitar?

Gave it in to a shop many years ago for a tune up and it came back with that screw missing. Didn't notice it was missing for a very long time and was too late to go back. I would love to replace but don't know what it is or what it does. Anyone know?

Guitar is an ibanez and the model number  can be seen on the head
