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.
So the thingy outside the jack I think? Came loose and off, and my guitar had stopped making sound before so I was tryna inspect the problem. I opened it up and it’s disconnected what do I do how do I fix pls hellpppp
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?
I was planning to change the volume and tone knobs on my guitar, but when I pulled off the volume knob, the potentiometer shaft came out with it. Is there any way to fix this without having to open up the pickguard? I literally just changed my strings today and would rather not have to take them off again :(

Really liked this guitar, would love to have it playable again. How bad is it? I moved from an arid, high altitude climate to sea level with high humidity. Could have been damaged during the move but I figured the humidity shift didnt help. The action used to feel incredible, now its mostly unplayable (atleast to my preference). String height photos included of 12th and 1st frets.
I'm pretty handy and know how to do a basic setup on electric guitars, but don't know much about acoustics. Is this something I could possibly fix on my own? I could buy it new for around $550 but I also don't want it going to waste. I can't seem to find any reputible luthiers anywhere near my town, or atleast any that advertise their services, so I'm not sure that having it professionally serviced would make sense.
Would very much appreciate some guidance on this!
Bought a partscaster cheap off marketplace. The electronics are a mess and I’m swapping some stuff out but this capacitor is coming off the center tone pot and I don’t know where the broken solder came from. What’s this supposed to be soldered to?
I just broke my guitar by making it fall on concrete, is this repairable ?
What size wrench to use to adjust the neck. I bought it used and the wrench wasn’t included. I tried a metric 3 but it didn’t catch.
I don't know if I'm doing this right? Can someone explain this to me? This is my first guitar build😅 how to I know where to install the bridge?
Hi,
This is my beloved Yamaha SA20 12 string. Since I plan on selling it soon, I'd like to do a proper job putting the cover back. I guess this is a common problem.
I hope I can pick from my glue collection at the shop. I've got : silicon glue (gel form and spray), regular epoxy, super glue, and, of course, some tubes that I don't remember the name because I used it once long ago.
Thanks for your advice!
Hi there, a few days ago I bought a brand new Seagull Entourange Acoustic CW fresh out of the box.
I only noticed this scratch or crack (?) recently and was wondering if its something of concern or if im just being neurotic. Super tiny right below the nut. Not sure if its the wood or finish but it looks pretty surface level.
Thanks!
Compared to the others when I turn they all feel solid, but that one always seems to feel like it has more give? And the High E goes out of tune a lot? I don't know how to describe it? Free play? do the gears inside wear out over time and slip or anything? Like when I am turning it down to lower the pitch, it feels like it wants to move from that position very quickly?
Thanks for taking a look
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on moisture control for guitars sitting in cases? If have a relatively normal humidity range room that I store my guitars in but still find some oxidation on the hardware. Tried different google searches and haven’t found anything concrete on how to control this. Silica packs can dry out too much and the moisture control packs sold by brands like D’addario seem like they are designed specifically for acoustics. Anyone have any recommendations?
Hey y'all. Had a little fret buzz at the first three frets. Decided to increase the neck relief. Did I overdo it?
I don't have any feeler gauge and just kept going until the buzzing stopped which in hindsight does sound very stupid. I order one but would still appreciate some advice. Thanks
Just had a string snap on my Hils HN5 (headless) and the ball end is stuck in the channel. Any tips on how to fish it out? Never worked on a floating trem so I dont want to just start taking it apart if anyone has any ideas. Would be easy if the strings fed through but they slot in to the cylinder. Also there's literally no excess string hanging off the ball end.
