Restrung the Martin OM28V with Kovar extra lights. Not to bury the lede, these are great strings and well worth the money. The sustain is amazing as is the low end - and these are extra lights, my friend. Makes me wonder about the other gauges. This could get expensive :-) First thing I noticed when restringing is that the tension is noticeably lower on the wound strings - I'm thinking that CAN'T be the tension to get that low E in tune - but it was. Similarly with the other wound strings. Whatever they're doing with their SP core does, in fact, make for easier bends. Besides the excellent tone, you also get more volume - I am not kidding, more volume. All in all, I now have to order up a set for the SC10E. Probably go with the lights there just to see what happens.

Broke my thumb a few days ago and I’m getting a little irritated by just sitting around the house and I’m trying to figure out an alternative way to hold my pick to give me something to do again. I’ve tried holding it between my middle and pointer fingers with not great results. Should I try something else or is that going to be my best bet?

Hello everyone! i’m really looking forward to learning electric guitar and buying my own but the amount of sizes is confusing me as a beginner lol. I’m 5’1 with very stubby fingers, would a 30’, 36’, or 39’ be better for my size? thank you so much yall!!

So I recently started learning guitar I have an acoustic guitar I've been learning on but I have been wanting an electric guitar too. I feel it will help me stay interested when things get tough. I was gonna wait but I seen a 1998 Fender Squier Stratocaster Olympic white in really good condition on ebay from a good seller I got it for 125$ plus 30$ shipping. It felt like a good deal. So that is my question did I overpay?

hey guys,

ive been thinking about doing sort of a side-grade with my current guitar and wanted an outside opinion

right now i have a schecter c-1 platinum and its really nice but im kind of over the whole active pickup thing. that feeling of picking up my guitar just for the battery to be dead is just so heartbreaking lol. so i was thinking about selling it and getting a standard passive HH guitar so i can still play the music i like (metal, classic rock).

looking around i think i could get like 400$ if i sold it so i wanted to know if...

1. Is a good idea in the first place,

2 Is the diffrence between active and passive really that big tone wise?

3 What are some suggestions for guitars around that price? (ive been leaning towards a Spira s-400)

thanks!

So I want an electric guitar with EMG81/60 AND a Floyd Rose tremolo system. The two desired models don't come with both features, instead with either one or the other. Which guitar would be more sensible to buy and then have the missing feature added?

I'm curious to hear any ideas how you would go about replicating the guitar effects in this track : https://voca.ro/1ePsfwh9gcTx

I can hear some delay, maybe some tremolo? But I feel like there's definitely more going on and I don't really know where to start in trying to emulate this kind of sound.

Bonus points if anyone recognises the (pretty famous) song these isolated guitar clips are taken from!

I have recently reconnected with a childhood friend who is struggling with alcoholism. We used to play guitar together when we were younger. Alongside all the other recovery stuff, I wanna get him an electric guitar, if anything, to hopefully get him back into playing and maybe play together--he has a Martin acoustic that needs repairs. When we were teens, he was into Fall of Troy and (Peter Green's) Fleetwood Mac. I want him to get a guitar, but not sure what to get him since I haven't talked to him in years. There's a guy where I live selling an Epiphone Casino for like $470 on Reverb, and I can pick it up myself. An Epiphone Coronet, however, is a unique guitar and is like 500 bucks. Gibson is located in Nashville, which is a 3-hour drive, so it'll take two days to get here. I was thinking of a Casino and a Coronet, just because I feel like I wanna get him something unique. Any other suggestions are welcome, but preferably not more than 500 bucks. Maybe a payment plan on a really nice one, but that's too much commitment right now.

Note: I have an Epiphone Casino, but it's left-handed, so that would be cool to match.

quiero comprar alguna guitarra tipo Jazzmaster o jaguar pero la verdad no tengo mucho dinero, es un estilo de guitarra que me gusta y quería preguntar sobre si había algun modelo barato de Fender o alguna otra marca que haga guitarras de ese estilo con un costo medio/bajo, alguien me podría decir?
