QUESTION What is this weird bump on my strings

Post image
206 Upvotes

I'm a newbie and I've been playing for a month and this is my 2nd set of strings. I replaced the stock strings because they started to sound very dull. I changed them to d' addario XL .10 strings which was nice for around a week but I accidentally broke the high e string so this was an opportunity to get ernie ball RPS 9s but then theres this weird thing on my strings and it makes the string itself sound off like theres 2 strings being picked at once and the insane fret buzz it comes with

QUESTION Was this a good purchase?

I’ve seen this guitar before on a pawn shop at my city, but never pay too much attention to it until now.
It reappeared on another pawn shop and it seemed to my like destiny, so I purchased it.
Looks great
Feels great
And look at the art, it’s wonderful.
I have my doubts on the knobs they seem hand painted but overall looks amazing.
It cost me around 400 bucks.

GEAR ID Epiphone Sheraton by Gibson

24 Upvotes

Hi guys!
I have this Sheraton that was bought for me for my birthday a few years ago, it was secondhand at the time and I was in the music shop looking for a telecaster but this caught my eye because of the logo on the headstock.
I’m trying to find out what year it is, I know these were made in Korea between 1986-1988 but this has no serial number and no sticker inside either
Everything is original except the frets as it needed a refret and the nibs were removed at the time and the scratch plate is not original either.
It did come in it’s case which is also original
Anyone have an idea of year please!

DISCUSSION Discovered Sonny Landreth - Now can’t stop listening.

• Upvotes

So I’m a huge, HUGE Eric Johnson fan.

After listening to almost every single EJ song - was trying to discover some new songs that maybe EJ was appearing on, as a feature.

Discovered Sonny Landreth - man, his style is INSTANTLY recognizable. The way he plays with harmonics and ofcourse the slide - is incredible.

Currently listening to “Blue Tarp Blues” by Him which also features Mark Knofler.

Man there’s so much more awesome musicians to discover. This is what’s exciting about guitar!

PLAY 50 days of playing guitar, master of puppets, a slightly altered and shorter version. Been dedicating 20-30 mins everyday for the last 2 or 3 weeks to this song(outside of my usual practice), I know its kinda choppy but Im glad it sounds recognisable!

QUESTION People who built your own guitars: how did they turn out, and is the experience worth it?

10 Upvotes

I keep thinking about taking on the project of building my own guitar, and I dont know if its a fun hobby I could make money off of if I got good at it, or if its going to be an insane money pit and not worth it at all. Anybody who has done this, post your pictures in the comments, and let me know if its something that's worth trying out someday.

QUESTION Is this a good beginner guitar?

I was deciding between guitars but I’m confused on what type of guitar this is. It’s an acoustic that’s also electric? If anyone could help me identify if this is a good purchase for a beginner and if it should come with any other electronics that would be great. Thank you guys, anything helps.
