Hi, was swapping pickups on the guitar and when loosened strings the nut came off. Is this OK to fix with a drop of superglue, or should I be using something else? The nut seems to be made of plastic/resin.
The holes of the tune-o-matrix are narrower than the wraparound bridge, even tho the strings are the same distance apart, is there a way I can plug the holes, drill new ones and fit the tune-o-matic, or would what mess up all of the measurements and intonation things to unfixable levels?
I've already done measurements, but im unsure if they're accurate as I broke my low E string, meaning I have to rely on my A and high E strings.
My guitar is pinless also, so I'm wondering if this problem is worth sanding down the saddle or is it a bridge problem?
My guitar has no truss rod as it is quite cheap, meaning I can only either sand the saddle or bend the bridge through natural heat.
Any help is appreciated 🙏
I JUST came home with my guitar. Am an older human and have wanted to re-start for years.
If you folks have any advice. I'll take it.
If you folks have any recommendations for resources, online or otherwise, for an old newb, I'll be deeply appreciative.
Hello! I've tried to create a model which based on scores produces the positions how to play them on guitar. Here you can see an output for one famous classical guitar play.
It's really interesting to me if that could be useful for guitar study.
Generally any feedback is very welcome!
I’ve got an SG and I love how it looks and plays, but it could sound better. Got enough other guitars with buckers, so figure it would be cool to experiment with some P90s in this. Looking for ideas on the best noiseless options that would fit this guitar. Any recommendations?
I've been messing with this Bullet Strat for 9+ years. It has Fender locking tuners, a Tone Ninja nut, a Pure Tone jack, and Fender pots. Until this week, it had just the Wilde 500XL at the bridge, single volume, but I had this Duncan p90 I had bought for a different guitar, but never used. Currently, the volumes can cancel each other out like a Les Paul with the switch in the center position. Time will only tell how long I'll keep it as is, but it gets some great edge of breakup tones right now.
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 👍 🐕
Found this in my dad’s pick collection and he said he never uses it. Just found it one day but didn’t like it yet never threw it away
I’ve seen this guitar before on a pawn shop at my city, but never pay too much attention to it until now.
It reappeared on another pawn shop and it seemed to my like destiny, so I purchased it.
Looks great
Feels great
And look at the art, it’s wonderful.
I have my doubts on the knobs they seem hand painted but overall looks amazing.
It cost me around 400 bucks.
I have been playing the piano since I was 5 years old, but since 2023 or 2024 I started taking guitar lessons. I bought my 1st guitar on june of 2025, and, as I have been earning money by giving piano lessons, I want to upgrade my gear / complete my guitar collection, but I don't know wich path to take.
I usually play 1h a day at least lately (I wasn't that interested before) and I love playing rithmic guitar, I prefer it over playing riffs. Having in mind I have a Yamaha Pacifica 112V and a multi-effect blackstar amp (no pedals yet) should I buy with aprox. 400€:
- New guitar (love fender style, I was thinking about a telecaster, jazzmaster or jaguar, but haven't played gibson or PRS yet, might have to try)
- Buying a pedal (I have already decided I want something from Beetronics, I love the sound of the Zzombee, BeeBeeDee and so on)
- Some suggestion you might have (don't get over 450€ please)
Thanks for the help
This wasn’t a performance per se. My friend hosted a party and she told me to play some popular songs that everyone can sing to, and I played some common hits on my acoustic.
But eventually I was being asked for some songs I don’t know and I just played some random combination of the standard I V IV vi chords in different keys and everyone was telling me how I’m so good at the guitar.
Was pretty interesting. I messed up so many times and nobody noticed at all, in fact they thought I was cooking. Crazy
Are you supposed to finger pick it? Is it possible to do it with a pick?

I'm a newbie and I've been playing for a month and this is my 2nd set of strings. I replaced the stock strings because they started to sound very dull. I changed them to d' addario XL .10 strings which was nice for around a week but I accidentally broke the high e string so this was an opportunity to get ernie ball RPS 9s but then theres this weird thing on my strings and it makes the string itself sound off like theres 2 strings being picked at once and the insane fret buzz it comes with
I keep thinking about taking on the project of building my own guitar, and I dont know if its a fun hobby I could make money off of if I got good at it, or if its going to be an insane money pit and not worth it at all. Anybody who has done this, post your pictures in the comments, and let me know if its something that's worth trying out someday.
ive been playing for about a year and a half now and im just barely intermediate (being generous). ive been thinking about signing up for guitar excellence. Should i go to any body else or should i just stay self taught?
But I finally got a Fender Custom Shop strat and they are almost worth the money.
I also used to like Jazz III XLs. Any thoughts on those? I'm considering jumping back to them since I'm playing some more rhythm stuff
Is this good one for learning and playing as a beginner
