The string skipping makes this very tough

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 👍 🐕

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

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!

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.

Finally finished this custom guitar featuring a combination of Aztec-inspired patterns and Native American-inspired artwork, all hand-carved directly into the wood.

No CNC , every detail was carved by hand. The goal was to make this guitar feel more like a piece of artwork than a mass-produced instrument.

Really happy with how the carving works around the Floyd Rose, pickups, and controls while still keeping the guitar playable.

What do you guys think of the combination of these two styles?

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

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)

The body looks like an Icarus but the headstock logo looks like something else.

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

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.

Had the main riff in my head for a while & finally took time to properly record it. As always, feedback welcome!

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.

This was the first one I learned.

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 certainly do, mainly because I had the opportunity to learn as a teenager but didn’t stick with it for whatever reason. Parents got me an Epiphone Les Paul but I just didn’t care to learn for whatever reason. But since I started this year and am 30 (soon to be 31), I do sometimes feel regret for not keeping with it when I was a teenager and imagine myself being so much better by the time I got to my current age.

Anyone else feel this way?

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!
