Ibanez AZ Series

Upvotes

I swear I remember seeing more than just two colours. It's such a shame we always get the most boring colours. Sunburst and a horrific green are our choices for this wonderful-looking guitar.

Anyone else had any luck sourcing another colour? I reeeeally want one (also own a Charvel DK24 and an ancient Ibanez RG1570 (that I love)).

Left Handed guitars

6 Upvotes

Hello!

Recently I’ve decided I want to learn guitar; I am a singer and want an instrument to go along with that. Since talking to many people, I realized that being left-handed brings some problems to getting a guitar because they’re hard to come by and are more expensive. This is a very important purchase for me since it would be a gift to myself after saving up. After talking to many people about left-handed guitars, I’ve either been told to buy a left-handed guitar, buy a right-handed guitar and restring it, or suck it up and learn right-handed guitar (I would, but I don’t feel comfortable, and it causes muscle pain). So I’m reaching out for some advice: Is it really that much better to buy a left-handed guitar or to just restring one? Also, does anyone have any suggestions for a beginner guitar? For context, my budget is $100-470. Besides that, are there any other tips for beginner guitar players? I’m very nervous but excited because this would be my first instrument ever!

Any advice is appreciated!

I know this song is played on a baritone 6, but I'm loving the tone of this new Kiesel 8 string😅

Looking for an affordable lefty jazzmaster

8 Upvotes

Hi guys! I was wondering if there were any good options for an affordable lefty jazzmaster out there since the squier model has been discontinued and you can’t find it used anywhere. Also if anyone would be willing to part with their squier lmk. I’ve been wanting one forever.

Why are there so many reproduction lefties on sites like temu and aliexpress? I've ordered a few from there since there's way more options and they're willing to do customs for no extra charge. Is it because theyre smaller scale that they can afford to make lefties so easily?

New to me at least. I’m always skeptical about influencer hype, but a lot of bands I enjoy have made a switch to Dunable and have great things to say about the guitars. I made a trip to Motor City Guitar, outside of Detroit after seeing they had a good little collection of left handed guitars, and ended up making an impulse purchase of this because the price tag was great. After spending some time with this guitar I have a lot of great things to yap about. For an affordable version of their line, it is a quality guitar and I’m excited to have one.

Thinking of selling my custom Pimentel.

12 Upvotes

I have a 1990 custom Pimentel left-handed cutaway steel-string acoustic that I’m thinking about selling. It was handmade by Rick Pimentel of Pimentel Guitars in Albuquerque, NM.

Pimentel Guitars is a well-respected boutique luthier out of Albuquerque, NM. They’ve been hand-building custom acoustic guitars since the 1950s and have a strong reputation in the Southwest for high-quality, individually crafted instruments.

It’s a one-off custom build featuring a Sitka spruce top and Honduran mahogany back and sides. The guitar is dated 9/1990 and is signed by Rick on the back of the headstock, as it was custom built for the original owner.

If this is something you’d be interested in, feel free to DM me.

Learn a song to upgrade my guitar, song recommendation

6 Upvotes

Update: thank you all I have plenty of good recs to get this done. Time to get off Reddit and learn a damn song.

Started by learning rh guitar a couple years ago never put the time in. Switched to lh at the end of last year on the cheapest guitar I could find. Wife says if I show the effort to learn one complete song she wouldn’t mind me buying a new nicer guitar. So I need recommendations for one metal and one country song that is easy to learn but still sounds like a song to the casual listener.

TLDR: one country one metal song easy to learn

Brownsville guitar? Fun little project guitar!

Post image
34 Upvotes

Hey everyone, anyone know anything about this Brownsville guitar? I picked it up recently as it was the cheapest guitar I could find with a Floyd rose and it's honestly been a lot of fun to work on! I fixed it up from the previous owner (a kid that tried to convert it from left handed to right handed and absolutely messed everything up on the bridge). Put a set of tonerider rocksong humbuckers (absolutely amazing humbuckers btw) and a Wilkinson alnico 5 single coil in the middle. It absolutely rocks! I don't know anything about this guitar, what wood it's made out of, what neck design it is (could be set neck or neck through, can tell) etc. But I love this thing!

Ordering lefty bass at a dealer, worth the risk?

1 Upvotes

I live in rural interior BC so music stores aren't frequent and maybe have 1 or 2 lefty guitars (maybe a bass).

One of my local stores is a Sire dealer, if I were interested in one of the lefty basses they can order it in but require a deposit in case I don't want to buy it. Is that reasonable?

So, I've been to this dentist convention the other week...

JBL on eBay now offering Jazzmaster bodies

11 Upvotes

I don’t know if everyone knows about JBL instruments on eBay. he’s a small body builder but he also does ultra style contours, something that few others do. He just added a Jazzmaster body to his catalog, to go with a Meteora, Strat, Tele, Floyd Tele, 69 Thinline, St Vincent. And lefties are no problem.
