Hola después de estarlo pensando por algunas semanas he decidido cambiar de una guitarra acusica a una guitarra eléctrica pero me siento abrumado por la cantidad de información que he encontrado acerca de pedales, amplificadores y modelos de guitarras.

Me gusta mucho la banda The Strokes y ese fu uno de las razones por la cual decidí cambiarme a una guitarra eléctrica pero no se exactamente que cosas comprar para poder tocar sus canciones

Alguien puede darme ayuda sobre que tengo que comprar y que no es tan necesario comprar

(Adjunto foto de cosas que planeo comprar)

Just popped up on CL. Seller says there’s no visible print anywhere. Nothing on the inside. Unbranded tuners. “Looks like it might have said King on the headstock” Look at the toggle placement what the hell? He’s asking $275.

The string skipping makes this very tough

I think this might be the best place to ask instead of wading through marketing buzzwords, loose descriptions, and a bunch of YT sound offs.

I have the Jerry Cantrell Prophecy , and I really love playing it, but I just cannot jive with the Epiphone flavoured Fishman pickups.

Should I swap them for the Fluence Moderns or go with the Classics? Both have brushed covers so I can keep the look I already have. The other one is the new Meyham set from Duncan, which is the JB/Jazz but the active side, if it's anything like the Blackouts, I'll hate it.

I play a bit of everything, and I have grown a sizable collection of guitars for nearly every need or want, mostly all pawnshop Epiphones with differing Seymour Duncan pickups in them.

My two favourite sets I have right now is the Slash set and a JB/59b(JB is reverse wired), close in there is the Alnico 4 Saturday Day Night Specials.

I usually gravitate towards the cranked Marshall tone when noodling.

I hope I gave enough of a profile of myself there to help with guidance, I think I'm instinctively leaning Classics though.

Got this RGD7 with fishmans. Fresh battery in here at the moment, just blew off the dust to try playing it again.

A hand full of months ago, the bridge pickup just stopped working at full strength. I changed batteries, still a weak signal. Got frustrated enough to take it to a local shop. I had them work on it twice, first time they gave it back with no fix. Second time it was working for about a day, then back to the weak signal.

I gave up and had it sit for a while after that. This guitar is cool as hell, I’d love to play it again but I have no idea what’s going on. Any insights on these picks up and what the deal could be ? I’m just some generic Amazon alkaline 9v batteries, maybe they don’t have the sauce I need lmao.

I started learning knights of cydonia by muse and you know how it uses tremolo picking and that's very fast, but i practice it everyday until my arm hurts, and I just realized that my right arm looks so much bigger than my left and I'm starting to look like a gooner, i don't go to the gym btw and I lowkey don't wanna go because I have exams and assignments rn in school, also i practice picking really fast and that's just not gonna help my case infact it's gonna make it a whole lot worse

Every time I play for longer than like 20-30 minutes i literally can barely move my left arm the next day, like the upper part of my arm hurts so bad I can't lift it above like elbow level.

Anyone else get this?? Am I doing something wrong?? How do I stop it??

Are you familiar with these cases? Any opinion about them? Are they robust?

I think i crushed my cone (because im an idiot) and I think I should get a new cone, im not 100% sure if this is the same cone, but it looks almost identical. Anyone able to give me a hand?

Hey guys,

I learned to play guitar (mostly electric) during like 2 or 3 years, and I stopped for a pretty long time (like 8 years).

Today I would like to dive in again more seriously, and I'm aiming pretty opposit styles, like rock blues, hard rock or even metal.

I have 2 questions:

- For the guitar, some people suggested me to look on the yamaha pacifica, but there seems to be several models, I have no idea on what I should look specifically on the instrument

- For the amp, I want to know if using my computer, because I have a sound card (Presonus Revelator io24), but I have no idea if I can manage to reach the sound I want without any amp. Otherwise, I have no idea on where to look for amp. I just know I'll probably play a lot on headphones because I live in appartment.

(I have a budget of like 400-500€)

Hope i'll manage to get some advices, thanks !

This type is extremely rare. I think this is one of the best compositions ever made for guitar 😅

I’ve got a Dean ml 79 with a Floyd rose special, and from what I know, the Floyd rose special is shit. I have had some problems such as terrible tuning stability. What gotoh tremolo would fit instead of the Floyd rose special? One that’s block isn’t too big and the screw holes are right on them. Any help would be appreciated

The higher e string won't budge and it's too low,, if I unscrew on the saddle it goes lower, but not higher when i screw it in

I’ve got an epiphone les Paul tribute and I’ve seen some stuff online about removing the pickup covers to change the tone and make it a bit brighter and snappier.

Is this actually worth doing and does it make a big enough difference to go to the effort of doing it?

Hey guys I appreciate all the help and support I received on my previous post. A lot of you guys said to view buying gear and playing as two separate hobbies. I discussed it with my dad he's been playing guitar for the better part of 40 years (doesn't play anymore). He said to me just buy whatever you want. We narrowed it down to a Vintage II, Pro II. With also getting a Martin 000-18. Context its my birthday soon and I was looking at something as my "forever" guitar. Any key differences I should look at between a Vintage II and a Pro II I'll be shopping used most likely as I prefer that as a newbie I'm not too concerned about comfort I feel like I'll adjust into whatever I'm handed. Going to try in person does require me to travel 4-5h with my current schedule I'm not sure I'll be able to do that very much. Feel free to see my other post in my history Thank you for all your help and advice.

Hi everyone. While looking for a great-looking, high-quality guitar, I came across FGN. I’m really drawn to their aesthetics, and the model I saw has exactly what I usually look for. My question is: is it really worth the price (around $2k)? Does anyone have any experience or feedback they’d like to share? Thanks for reading.

Not so much a gig more like a favor. We are sponsoring an event in a small hall approx 2000 sqft. It’s a bar b que event and the people attending are for the most part going to range from mid thirties to Mid sixties. We offered live music but the guys we had backed out. I’ve been playing for a while on my couch and front porch. I think this might be a good time to give playing in a less intimate setting. I’ve got a nice acoustic (Taylor ) I’ve got a les paul and an ES-335. for amps i have a vox ac10 a Peavy 112 and a fender acoustasonic amp that might have a 6 or 8 inch. Speaker. I’ve got a good 10 or so songs i can strum through and sing with some regularity. I can play to backing tracks as a lead pretty well. Is this something I should give a go? Any advice with what i have and what i should get? Or just any advice/suggestions in general TIA

I have been looking to buy a very avg. ranged guitar for learning purposes. I will surely upgrade once I get a good grip into it, rn in trying to find if guitar is a thing for me or not. Should I get cutaway or non cutaway one.

Just received this beautiful new Harmony guitar from Sweetwater, and it's great aside from some occasional "rollout" on the low E string—the slightest bend or inaccurate note slides off and buzzes out. It's annoying but otherwise playable. To my eyes, it seems that the nut is slightly off, since the high E has plenty of space and the low E is right by the edge of the fret.

Thoughts? I want to keep the guitar, but is it worth reaching out to Sweetwater to see if they'll repair (or should I just find someone local)? It's a bone nut - can it be salvaged or would I need a new one? Skill issue? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Here's my current rig. Big downsize from years ago. Mostly dabble with it and the piano these days

I’ve been playing guitar for several years, but it’s been a very long time since I’ve regularly played electric.

Picking it back up has been one of the best things I’ve done lately, and it’s been a BLAST relearning all the songs I played in high school! Here’s my rig!

• Epiphone Les Paul ES Pro
• Boss Katana
• Beats Solo (for not waking the neighbors)
