Guitar recs for my musician fiance

Hi guys! My boyfriend proposed to me and I accepted. Thinking of getting him an engagement gift and possibly proposing to him back with a higher-end guitar.

Thinking of getting him a Takamine but not sure which model. I have no idea whether acoustic or acoustic-electric is better either. My budget is in the 50k range :) thank you so much!

Looking for a Multi-Effects Pedal Around ₱5,000–₱15,000

Hi! I’m looking for a multi-effects pedal around ₱5,000–₱15,000 and would appreciate some recommendations. I mainly play blues and funk, but I also occasionally play nu-metal and 80s rock, so I’m looking for something versatile with good clean, crunch, and high-gain tones.

Which one should I choose?

I am looking into learning electric guitar. Pag sa jamming kasi, hanggang "Tininiw" os boses lang guitar solo hahahah.

LF entry level guitars na budget meal, pero future proof na, di masakit sa ulo, at kahit di na iupgrade, maganda After sales at Quality Control.

--- Bone nut, stainless steel frets, a plus kung Al Nico V.

Below are my options:

- Ligaya Vintage Vibe

- Smiger LG2 pro custom

- Tagima 530 HSS (kaso nickel pa frets)

- Jcraft S3 (kaso out of stock pa rin)

Which is the better option?

2nd hand sx custom vintage series(early 2000's/fender style headstock)

Or

Altura as classic

Si SX na quite established brand na, o si altura, started last year lang ata pero modern specs na (roasted maple neck, stainless steel frets)

Sharing my first project (beginner)

Bought this smiger pp-t21 bridge off the orange app

i'm still on the process of test fitting it and ensuring it's within the scale length of the guitar. i'm no expert on this but i know my way around tools and a bit of wood working

bought this guitar secondhand for only 1,350 and i'm pretty happy with it, my cousin (sound tech) said the pickups are okay and seem decent but i'm looking to change the pickups with maybe a alnico v pickups

Guitar + audio interface + laptop combo?

Been thinking of this lately, may balak ako bumili ng strat. But buying an amp (my room is not that big) seems pretty impractical. Then I saw yung mga amp sims online na naka-saksak sa guitar na may audio interface. Thoughts on this setup?

Meron din ba ditong mas prefer yung "song drummers" kaysa sa "instagram chop" drummers today?

Di to bash ah. Alam ko people can do both and kung san masaya, basta natugtog ka eh di go.

Pansin ko nagiiba na ang trend ng drumming today ah, as with technology. Parang uso na ngayon is yung maglagay ka ng generic lofibeat tapos magshed ka for 1 minute sa insta. May mga drummers na dito nakikilala. And to be fair, ang skill dito is improvisation.

For me, mas naappreciate ko pa din ang drums/drummer sa context ng kanta eh. Dun mo makikita yung dynamics, arrangement, locking in at di pagbangga sa ibang instruments especially the vocals. At saka as a drummer, iba pa din kung may kanta kang mapagmamalaki as sayo eh (parang si Jeff Porcaro, Rosanna or si Vic Mercado sa Hallelujah)

Si Michael Alba and Rickson Ruiz, okay din. They took old school songs (Rosanna and Weak) tapos binigyan nila ng magandang takes kaya naassociate na sa kanila.yung songs na yun

How much should guitar lessons cost?

For context, I found a place with guitar lessons that cost P10,800 for 12 sessions and one hour per session. Price is crazy high, to be honest.

What should I look for? Considering price range and expertise, as well as my current stat as a beginner.

I've been playing for 2 weeks.

Any advice?

Is it weird that in my first concert and I was recording videos of it, I was singing and talking too much while recording?

I was at the Mateus Asato tour nung July 30 and it was my first and I noticed I was singing and talking way too much when I was recording his performance at stage? Do you guys think sometimes that it is pretty weird for that? I still think that it i wish I was bit more quiet recording so I can reminisce for a bit you know..

Leonardo Apa guitars

Anybody knows Leonardo Apa luthiers? Saw in an FB post that they were located in Lapu Lapu City. I was given an old damaged classical guitar and was wondering about the specs and if the guitar is worth restoring. Model is Luka Liana Josie and no year manufacturing indicated , probably 90s made.

Thanks!

is this guitar string brand on shopee legit and is it worth it?

nag-aamag na kasi ata ‘yung current kong gamit na string kasi ang tagal na. balak ko sana palitan kasi ‘yung gf ko nagpapractice sa gitara ko. though for fun lang naman. strumming lang ginagawa ko/niya. not really practicing songs na may plucking (if important info yon). whats better din if this is good?

budget is 200-300 php.
