My First Guitar!

Hello guys! I just recently bought my first electric guitar and wanted to know what you think about it , I am an absolute beginner and already know some songs like Monster and Enter Sandman. I bought the Yamaha Pacifica 311H Yellow/Satin for 419€ and the Marshall Code 25 for 190€. Let me know if this is a good combo.

(PS: I don’t know if I should remove this kind of thin plastic wrap on the pickguard….)

Is My Action Too High?

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 🙏

Is this freetboard original?

Hello! I was wondering if this freeboard is original in this model? I’m not profesional but I saw bright wood on many photos as roasted maple. This one don’t look like rosewood. It looks like something between it. Can you say something about it?

Is it worth it?

Pick this up from somebody’s house. They were throwing it away. As far as I know it just needs a saddle, pins strings, and a battery. Is it worth fixing to sell or even just use?

Tuner Recommendation

I have a wonderful guitar. 2005 Peerless Epiphone Lucille. I've done the A/B thing with a Gibson 335 and a Heritage 535 and this guitar hangs with the big dogs and it's dead stock. There's only one thing I would replace and that's the Grover Mini 15/1 tuners. I would love to have some tulips on it. Would love to do the switch with the least amount of hassle possible. Does anyone have a recommendation?Thanks for the help.

What’s with the finish on 814ce?

I’ve been on a “am I finally going to break down and buy a 814ce” bender lately. They are very hard to come by locally where I live so online will probably be where I go. Been looking at the builders edition at Sweetwater: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/814ceBERWAD--taylor-next-generation-builders-edition-814ce-adirondack-spruce-rosewood-acoustic-electric-guitar-natural-with-kona-edgeburst

However, the uneven finish on the top are kinda holding me back at this point. I know they are in pieces and that is why, but dropping 5k on a guitar I kinda don’t like the top to is holding me back. Are all 814s like this?

Facebook Marketplace find

I just bought this lot of Pickups and Tuning pegs for $85 aud. Just want to see if it was worth it. The ones in the box are 80s Fender Strat Pickups and the ones in the Hot Roddex Humbucker box are Epiphone pickups (I think).

Pickup swap issue

Put a SD Black Winter and a Lil Screaming Demon in a LTD F-10. I did not change any of the other electronics, so original pots, jack and switcher. Everyone raves about these but they sound muddy and muffled in any tuning above d standard (ive been keeping in drop-d). I also have almost no mid-range from the BW. I found a pre-wired 2 500k pot set, just solder on the pups and install the hardware. Should I pull the trigger on this or do we think my issue is somewhere else

Or just remove these and sell them and put a unhooked single in the neck and a emg 81 or hz in the bridge. I want this guitar for my b or drop-a rig
