    Guild D-17m vs D-25

    There's 2 Guild acoustics on the used market for similar prices, both made in 1985. One is an all-mahogany D-17 with a gloss finish (looks near-mint) and the other is a Spruce-top D-25 with a pickup and B-Band preamp (definitely has been gigged). Both come with their original cases. FWIW I...

    New Free Song: The Government Game (Newfie Folk song)

    Feedback on the recording is why I'm posting this here. ​​ This song was written by a Newfoundlander named Al Pittman about his coastal fishing community which was resettled further inland. The original recording is acapella. A friend of mine who lives on the rock asked me to cover it to give...

    NAD: Mesa Boogie F50

    I traded for the F50. It has that classic Mesa clean sound and a Mark IV style OD channel. Pretty simple for a Mesa. Sounds great!

    NGD: F-Hole Content

    I bought a used Squier Classic Vibe '70s Tele Thinline. It's from 2020. The body is maple as is the neck but it's still fairly light, and looks similar enough to Ash. I haven't put it on a scale but compared to my 8 lb Baja it feels like it's about 6 lbs. I've never played a Tele with real...

    Post your worst guitar

    This is my campfire acoustic. Bought it for $80. Sounds okay, plays okay, perfect for camping.

    How to pick a good 1st Les Paul?

    Lots of great advice already. If you want a Les Paul to discover why it's inspired generations of guitarists, I'd suggest opting for a Historic. I have an R9 and it's hands down the best Les Paul I've ever played. It's also 8 lbs 3 oz with no weight relief. If you can't afford a Historic, then...

    Post your best guitar

    My R9 is my best sounding and most enjoyable guitar to play. I grin every time I play it.

    Let's REVIEW those pedal boards you are using right now.

    I updated my board based on the advice received in this thread. Tuner at the start of the chain instead of the end. Compressor before pickup booster (RIP resonance switch I never used) Phaser after Chorus

    Let's REVIEW those pedal boards you are using right now.

    I agree it's a very clever and useful switch if you want to bring one (kind of) guitar to a gig. That said I just haven't explored it much myself, having a Tele and a LP . If I only had a Strat or a LP I'd probably use it lots. I updated the board after considering Ace's advice. I might have to...

    NAD: Ace in the hole! Mesa Stiletto Ace 2x12

    Hence why it will likely be an amp I crank in my house and record, not one I take to gigs. The Classic 30 with a neodymium Celestion UK Dog 12" speaker will be the main gigging amp.

    NAD: Ace in the hole! Mesa Stiletto Ace 2x12

    UK V30s. :bling: I may replace these with Eminence Wizards or Governors if I can find at a good price.

    NAD: Ace in the hole! Mesa Stiletto Ace 2x12

    So I had the shop agree to $600 USD cash out the door, but then for some weird reason I couldn't withdraw my money from any ATM so I ended up taking it for $675 out the door, on the credit card. Thank you to everyone who's been talking down these amps as it enabled me to get one for a bargain! I...
