Hey all,

I bought a guitar at an online auction for £25, and I'm starting to wonder what I bought.

The ibanez box jumps out, but to my knowledge and scanning the catalogues, Ibanez have never done a guitar like this. The second best guess is that it's a Fender/Squire Tom DeLonge Signature, however, I dont believe this for a few reasons:

1. The headstock shape doesn't contour the same as I would expect a fender

2. The pole pieces are usually black on the Tom DeLonge signatures

3. The bridge saddles don't look correct as per other reverb listings.

My current best theory is that it's possibly a frankenstrat of some sort.

The auction house will be shipping the guitar in the next few weeks, but if anyone here thinks they know I would be greatly appreciative. This is the only photo I have.

Thanks a million!

*I am not looking to sell, I will be keeping this guitar*

Hello everyone, I recently bought a B.C. Rich Mockingbird Masterpiece and a Woodstock GX-55R, and I'm looking to get that high distortion you hear from 'nu metal' bands like Linkin Park, Slipknot and Deftones, but I can't quite achieve it properly.

When I click channel switch from clean to overdrive, nothing really changes with the output, it just sounds the same.

I've tried cleaning the foot pedal plug at the back incase that was dirty and causing something, but it didn't seem to help.

I also don't FANCY buying a pedal if I don't have to.

Hello! Im new to the guitar community and i want to get a bc rich since my brother had them growing up before the passed and they mean a lot to me! I found this one after the original one I wanted got sold but I can't find anything about it anywhere so I feel like it's fake, please help me out!

EDIT: Thank you guys for helping me out!! I was def right to worry, yall are the best! I called him out and he blocked me lolol, going with my backup this Thursday! (Ik fs it's legit and will post pics of it once it's here!)

I made a post about this about 3 days ago it’s an sg that has been in a loft for a while, some have said it’s cos the necks bowed and others have said it’s cos the pickups are too high and to file the nuts down but idk this is my first guitar and it was my first time restringing.

I’ve been playing rhythm guitar on my acoustic for years, but I’m ready to learn lead guitar. My wife got me my dream guitar, and now I feel obligated to learn to play.

What is the next step in starting to learn lead guitar? Any help making a decision would be helpful! Thanks in advance.

I have no idea to anything about guitars. Its just that i have been extremely obsessed with this specific sound that I have sold my soul too but fuck , i cannot find the name for what it is.

An example would be :

Tim henson playing some song with some electric guitar , but what drew me badly was the sound, it has an electric sound (yeah no shit) but its soft , like how do i say its not grunting , but almost as if it passes through something that makes it so colourful and soft and not like razor edge. I might start to write some poems about it without having the actual knowledge to describe what this sound is so i can find this hyper specific genre and songs, so please help me out.

There is also another example of a guitar sound which is the main sample in doja cat streets , is like a vox but is played in a guitar . The main vox can be found in splice and the name is : INT_Vox_03_SoKush_100_Em.wav .

unlike the above this stuff in the actual song , it feels like a blue flame dancing , like you know when you pour some cologne on the floor and light it , it has this soft blue flame and then imagine it moves , like the sound has a movement like that plus with that specific guitar sound makes it soo cool. Freaky nerd moment but its just how i feel about this stuff everytime i hear it, i cannot miss it.

Dent on this new electric I bought 4 days back
Am I fretting too much? (No pun intended)
Should I get this guitar replaced? Or is it fine and it doesn’t matter much?

Acquired through a gear trade in a lot of guitar parts. It’s got the cutout on the bottom like vola, and the back, and the body is really well made. everything else is just weird, man. I’m at a complete loss. Headstock has a thick layer of black paint and (what looks like a cricket decal) says ‘Excalibur’.

i'm a complete beginner and im looking for an electric guitar to buy. this is an esthon, its used and i was keen on buying it because it's much cheaper than others ive found in my area.
I couldn't find much about it online, so im hoping someone who knows more can give me a suggestion.
Sorry for my ignorance lol and ty in advance!!

Unfortunately I have to downsize and am selling some of my higher end guitars. One of my Legators unfortunately have to go. I am curious what everyone’s thoughts are on these guitars. I personally love them. Legator and Ormsby are my two top brands. I only have one Ormsby so I’m not coming off of that one. So what are everyone’s thoughts on these guitars? I am pricing it around 900$
