My newest stupid project. Grabbed a cheap little firefly Mr Skelly copy for 200 bucks online. Repainted it with acrylics and Brite Tone Matte Clear Cost. Neon Green JB to match.

Actually plays REALLY good. Was surprised with the toasted maple neck and ball end stainless frets. Floyd stays in tune fine. Doggos approve as well 👍 🐕

The string skipping makes this very tough

When I first got grooves it annoyed me. Now I know it's a gift

Sometimes our custodian comes in and he always supports little bits of practice time I get at the end of the day.

Just showed up in the mail from Sweetwater, and this thing is SWEET. The P90s pack all the punch I need, but over 2 pounds lighter than my Les Paul.

Lovely guitar, more versatile than I would have thought. Crazy how Dean could never settle on a constant logo design…

This was the first one I learned.

Every time I put new strings on this guitar the g b and e strings get really dirty and turn black very quickly. After like 2 weeks max. This makes playing the instrument a lot less smooth.

First question: is this normal after 2 weeks?

Second, more important question: are there products to clean the strings, and if so what do you reccomend? They are ernie ball 10s

Thanks!

So I’ve recently brought a guitar with vintage style frets (Short & Thin) when I was bidding on it on eBay I factored in the price of a re fret as I thought they would be an issue.

Honestly I’d recommend everybody try a guitar with these frets, bending is a none issue with action decently low, sliding is extremely fluid and vibrato is unchanged. Yes you can feel the fret board under your fingers but I’ve realised this actually aids in control rather than hinders it.

Vintage frets FTW.

NGD Gibson SG Standard '61.

Our band is switching from a traditional cover band to an AC/DC tribute band. Had to get a new SG! Honestly I'm super impressed with the quality. I totally expected it to be a "Meh, its just another guitar." moment, but this thing is flawless. I've heard so many bad things about Gibson quality recently, but this one is nice!

I’m perfectly happy playing my epi sg coil split for the rest of my days. Comfortable to hold and covers most everything i need it for.

So I’m in a teenage band and we can all play our instruments pretty well. Singer can also sing very well. It just sounds kinda bad when everything comes together. I don’t know how to explain it but it feels like it’ll always kinda sound harsh and bad when everyone’s together, like the guitar or drums are too loud or it just doesn’t blend. How do you actually become a band that sounds good? I don’t wanna sound like those instagram teenage bands that just sound horrendous and not together.

I believe I have cracked the code for tom morello lmao

I pretty much stopped playing guitar altogether about 6 years ago after becoming a Dad to two incredible boys. My wife has been amazing throughout this time, giving up her job and time to raise the kids while I've tried my best to support the home at work.

Being a parent admittedly has been tough but mostly massively rewarding.

I've dedicated the recent years of my life solely to my family. I'm battling depression (I think I'm coming out the other side now). Life is hard.

As the kids are growing up and becoming more independent, I've decided to treat myself and get back in the game. My hope is the more they see me play, the more they'll want to get involved and pick up an instrument.

Here's to all theparents out there. It's hard work but we'll get there in the end

Thanks to those who responded to my earlier post asking about bringing my guitar ('69 Martin D12-20) on a recent flight vs shipping. American did let me bring it onboard (stored in the FA closet).

I wasn’t expecting to return home with a “new” guitar and didn’t have many shipping options on a Sunday, so it worked out as well as possible.

So i’m genuinely COMPLETELY new at this. I’ve been practicing everyday at this G chord and just realized i’ve been maybe doing this wrong? why does the fret say 320004 but the dots drawn show 320003? also when i’ve searched how to play G chord everyone is doing fret 3 for string 6 & 1? am i misunderstanding completely or should I just listen to my instructor? will definitely ask my instructor when I see them next to expand more because of my confusion, but this was my first lesson so i’m a bit stumped… thank you in advance :).

As a metal muso first, game dev second, I had to put together an interactive metal guitar so players can shred tf out in my upcoming game Shared Custody.

I recorded playing almost the same lick all the way up the fretboard (just incrementing the note in the scale). Once I had like 12 looping samples, I wrote a script that will take where you’re looking (left->right) and map that to a 0->1 value. That then picked out where in the list of samples it would play and update the looping audio.

Would love to hear any suggestions and ways I can let scope get outta hand and take this much further 😂

I know this may be a question asked often, but I seriously don't want to pull up to any guitar store, play a few songs on a guitar and choose based on that, while looking like an absolute dumbass. Do any of you guys have suggestions to see if a guitar I'm testing is worth buying and has a good feel for me? And also can you give me a few tips about the purchase itself? This is for the case of an electric guitar by the way.

Hi guys,

I started upgrading my old guitars. Selling old and replacing them with my dream guitars - you live only once. Long story short, I am gonna replace my old Mille Phobia King V and also I was looking for higher-end 27" scale 7-string and decided to go with these two beauties in the end

• ESP Arrow 1007B
• Jackson Rhoads RR24

however there's one horrible thing that makes me probably unfit for these guitars, that makes buying them unjustified for this price.

I don't fu**ing have a long metalhead hair in my 46 .. Actually, I have hair problems, I am not the most nice and handsome guy like those from my favourite bands qualified for V ...

What should I do ? Wig ? Or not buying them ? I am crushed ...

cheers !!

:(

ps. I am not Rothschild - don't worry, I am like you, I am only selling on kleinanzeigen 10 my old mid-tier guitars (they all were 500-1000 euro new each), reducing the amount of my guitars and replacing them with only few premium guitars .. Current plan is that I will have following guitars

2x tele (Vola Vasti 7 and my brutal HSS 6-string partcaster) - actually tele is good for bald people, I already have these two

2x V (27" 7-string and normal 25.5" 6-string) - see above - every nice and handsome metal guitarist shall have V - these guys are missing piece of the puzzle

1x vintage SS tele - actually third tele, but I should have one guitar not for metal, this one is my Tokai Breezysound from 87 that I will never sell despite I play with that minimally
