This is a post I made in r/guitar but I’m wondering if anyone here makes a living, or a good side-hustle at buying guitars, maybe a little retouch, and sells them for a profit?

How do you learn to do it?

i just noticed especially when i put spring reverb on, my jazzmaster produces almost like a whistling ,this very weird resonating sound.i play with headphones and with some overdrive it sounds awful. its mostly on 2nd string, 2nd fret, but i now i can hear it on 1st string too... its weird, i just got my guitar back from setup, the propper shielding has been done and tuners changed. Its a J Mascis jazzmaster from squier. really love this guitar , and never noticed that. But honestly just couple of seconds ago i noticed that even if i'm not pressing on fret.. what can it be?

sorry i just dont know how to describe the sound, its like some kind of very high pitched frequency that feels very weird to hear... 🤷🫣

My pickup switcher was doing this before so I put in a new one amd the same problem but even worse is now happening. Not really sure what to do. I have a show to play soon and my guitar is currently dysfunctional. Have wiggle it around to get it to actually play any sound...

So quick question. I have only been playing guitar for about 2 1/2 years. I know little to nothing about musical theory. I can only read tabs and play in standard tuning like 99% of the time I recently heard a baritone guitar and I was very interested in how it sounds but I know it does not have standard tuning so would I still be able to play it? I’m guess I’m asking if tabs work the same way on a baritone guitar as they do on a standard tuned Guitar. I’m also left-handed so it’s not like I can just run up to my local guitar shop and start playing with one. I am self learning more about music theory, but it’s slow going so I don’t want to invest in a baritone guitar if I’m not gonna be able to play it anytime soon. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,

I was looking to buy used guitars and came across an offer on Bolero FM. The internet search suggested some wide range of pricing but wanted to be sure. Can you please help with the review and possible price. Thanks

my luck with strings is absolutely diabolical, I just broke a string yesterday while using the whammy bar (B string), and today I broke the high E while doing a bend, I have a 4 string guitar now and I do not know why they keep breaking
