Whew. So. I went and actually did it. I bought one of those cheapo chinese knock off guitars. I had been seeing these things a bunch kicking around YouTube - some real pretty looking Strandberg ripoffs. This one is by a company named EART... Which somehow I'm told stands for Electronic Audio...

I'm looking to trade a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails Neck pup (white) for a Little 59, preferably also white. Looking for a straight swap. Pickup has all original hardware and packaging, in absolute mint condition, was installed once and will be coming out if I can strike a deal. Thanks much, Jim

Well guys, it's 2021 and I JUST found out what a Klon Centaur is, the crushing realization that I can't get one, and that I need to have one so I can get more better at guitar. I was always an amp guy and only recently got into pedals at all. The Arion Tubulator collecting dust in the back of an...

OK sorry in advance for no pics... I don't own the guitar but will get pics as soon as I can. A buddy at work casually asked me if I knew where he could get a guitar appraised. I asked what he had. He says his mom is in a retirement home and money is running short so they need to sell some of...

So I have my eye on a Les Paul Ok... Serious GAS. Problem is, my wife says "how many guitars do you need?!" ... I happen to have two guitars BTW.. A very nice fender strat and an epiphone acoustic. So I had this idea that I would ask all my good fellow guitar players here on the forum ...

So here's a question that probably doesn't get asked too often. I know the trendy thing to do nowadays is relic your guitar and, while I appreciate the art and find it interesting, it's not really for me. So I have a strat that I love which has a maple board with lots of wear. And I happen to...

Anybody out there own one of these? I'm considering buying one and I'm wondering how the hardware is and if anything should be upgraded. I have a buddy who used to have one and I remember loving it but I was much less experienced back then. Thanks in advance

So last week I jammed with some dudes from work and there was this gold Top Les Paul in the back corner. My eyes kept wandering over to it been songs... I guess a pile of dust and cobwebs on a guitar perks my interest more than any fancy showcase or lighting :) Anyway, I asked about it after a...

I'm looking to trade two white fender strat single coil pickup covers for two black ones. I recently got a black Duncan in the bridge on my strat and I want the p'ups to match. Thanks all.

Recently got a Lil 59 for my strat and was wondering what the popular opinion is: is this pickup better in the neck or the bridge? Originally I intended it for the bridge but some videos I saw are making me think twice.

Re: Question about fret wear I adjusted the truss appropriately when I lowered the string gauge. Trust me, i don't like the thought of replacing frets better than a truss adjustment, new skills or not. It played well at the store but I think it possibly could have slipped past me. This isn't...

Hi there. I have used a ts9 for some time now and it's one of my favorite pieces of gear. I have always heard about modding them but I know nothing about it. Google searches have shown me how to do it or where to buy them but I'm not sure exactly what the mods actually do? Is it a larger mid...

Hey all. I came home today with a used stratocaster and when I tested it out at the store it was awesome. Sounds great, plays great, all good. So I got home took off the crappy old strings and cleaned it up and noticed that the first fret, and only the first, is worn really flat towards the b...

Just as the title says. Asking $50 obo. Had a short wire when I got it so I had it extended by the guitar shop. Thanks for looking.

Hello everyone. I gave a schecter hellraiser c-1 fr crimson finish that I'm trying to trade/sell. I'm looking to downgrade to something a little less complicated such as a fender strat. The guitar has EMG pickups, coil taps, original Floyd Rose, Grover tuners. A few chips / dings by the output...
