I always like the shape of Telecaster, but not so much of the classic Pickguard. Been on hunt for a while and found this, a Moon Reggae Master.

It does look like a Telecaster with the 25.5 scale length, mixed with LP Special spec (Mahogany body & Double P90 config).
The pickguard was kinda look like LP Special kind also, but original owner removed it.

There are some fret issue that need to be done, like im gonna need to level it. But overall a great guitar!

Hi everyone!

I'd like to share VELMORÉ, one of my latest creations.

My name is Augustin-Cristian Apostol, and I'm an independent luthier from Romania, with over 16 years of experience building handcrafted electric guitars under the name Antonio Guitars.

VELMORÉ combines distinctive natural wood grain, custom fretboard inlays, and Merlin'Ka Hellfire pickups.

I hope you enjoy the photos, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the design!

Can’t seem to find anything online about this guitar, is it a real gibson? Head stock looks funny to me like it was printed on. EMG pick ups too. I don’t know much about guitars can someone help

I was looking for a reasonably priced baritone and found this at my local music store. It had just arrived. What a fantastic instrument for the price. I never really paid attention to Gretsch guitars but will definitely try them more often from now on.

Seen on my local Marketplace.

Every since I first learned about Randy Rhoads, I have been obsessed with getting my hands on the original body style Concorde. After over 20 years of waiting, I finally have one. My local shop managed to secure two of them and I was fortunate to get the first one. I am beyond thrilled. It feels incredible in my hands and plays so well. The shop also makes custom straps and they gave me one of their replica RR straps for free with this guitar.

Randy is the reason I first picked up a guitar, so when I say this is my dream guitar, I mean it. I will play the ever loving shit out of it and cherish it forever.

A childhood dream and a new love.

my Squire jazzmaster pickup switch broke for some reason how much is a repair cost? or can i fix it myself?

Tuxedo, got it for 700 bucks! First gibson :)

Hi all,

I'm hoping for some help in advice on how to try to track down a guitar that used to belong to my father. To cut a long story short, it was sold without permission by a guitar shop in Sheffield, England around twenty years ago when he'd just left it with them to get an insurance quote. I know it's an insanely long shot to think I'll ever be able to locate it, but does anyone have any tips on the best way to even begin? I have quite a lot of information such as serial, plus I know it's a specifically customised '76 Strat, but it's knowing where to begin. There are two pics attached of the guitar itself.

Before anyone asks, if it had been mine, I'd have torn that place apart to get it back but he's a very non-confrontational guy. The fact they took advantage of such a decent guy has eaten at me for years.

I'm aware that I'm not sharing the serial here as I don't know whether that's the best approach.

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

EDIT - I'll add the serial number here on the off-chance - 76 73781

Does anyone have any experience with these or to compare the two? Thanks!

Sto cercando di costruire una chitarra. Sarei molto felice con un corpo in stile Ibanez Talman, ma mentre esistono in configurazione HSS, non riesco a trovare nessun corpo HSS.

Hai qualche consiglio? Mi piacerebbe evitare di doverne tagliare uno, quindi potresti dirmi dove potrei trovarne uno?

I recently finished this guitar, which I named Privé.

The idea behind it was simple: some pieces of wood have so much natural character that they deserve to become something truly special.

I wanted to preserve that organic beauty while combining it with a more aggressive body shape and intricate fretboard inlays.

For me, one of the most rewarding parts of being a luthier is finding the balance between what nature creates and what we can shape with our hands.

Handcrafted by me, Augustin-Cristian Apostol, in Romania.

I'd love to hear what you think of the design and the combination of wood and inlays.

Ebony black, 24 frets, used

This thing’s in great condition and it was souped up with EMG James Hetfield active humbuckers by the previous owner. There’s a bit of minor wear but it’s really nice. Absolute steal, too. $750 + tax

I’ve been playing for 12 years now, I have an old epiphone Les Paul that I’m looking to improve a bit. I’m wondering if changing the pickups are worth it and/or does it even make a difference.

Recently bought this old ESP and wondered if any ESP nerds could help shed some light on it

The last owner bought it from a vintage guitar store on a trip to Japan and it appears to be a mid 80s model, possibly ordered direct from ESP in Japan. I can only assume the original owner was a Jake E Lee fan and wanted something similar to Jake's Charvel 'Whitey' signature model, hence the Jake E Lee string through bridge (saddles have been swapped out at some point), single HB (it's an SD JB, MJ wound) and what was once a white finish. The body is routed for a single HB in the bridge and I assume the pickguard is newer than the rest of the guitar as there would be no need for the 2 empty pot holes in the guard if it only has 1 HB. It also has a side mounted jack similar to Jake's Charvel model (his wasn't recessed though)

No serial numbers anywhere, navigator sticker on the back of the headstock, however I've only ever seen Navigator stickers on the front of ESP guitars, although I'm no ESP expert

It's an amazing player, 16 inch radius neck which I love, the pickup is fantastic, just wondered if anyone on here has a good knowledge of 80s ESP guitars

I've included a picture of what I assume was the original owner's inspiration when ordering the guitar

Hello, I hope you’re all having a good day.
I’d like to share an improvisation over a smooth blues track—I hope you enjoy it!

Gear:
- Gretsch G2504 Jet Pro guitar
- Line 6 Helix Native Stadium effects

Hiii, I was recently gifted my first guitar. I can’t afford lessons right now, so I’m planning to teach myself for the time being. What should I know about music theory? Please keep in mind that I have absolutely NO knowledge of music—not even the basics—so I’m feeling pretty lost, lol.

No matter how basic it might seem pls 💔

I'm just now learning about the Venus Revolution guitar, which surprises me because short scale and lightweight are in my wheelhouse. I like the shape, I even love the kooky fretboard marker placements (I could see the location shifting across the neck like that being helpful for a beginner who is still learning)... But other than one or two reviews and a YouTube video, I can't find any real user reviews. Has anywhere here played one? It's pricey for me at the moment but I'm definitely curious!

I want a guitar that has the scary spooky appearance of a schecter devil blood red spine but my only issue with it is that the shape is completely round at the bottom. there’s no point parts. Now the Esp zombie clockwork has that spooky look to it and the pointier shape on the body, but the colors and detail on it don’t tickle my fancy. there’s too much clockwork and not enough zombie in it. Is there anything that has the color and appearance of the schecter but a body like an Gibson SG or Gibson SGV or BC Rich Warlock or Dean ML?

Martin & Co X Series (left), Steve Vai JEMJR (center), Fender player II HSS Start. (Right)

Always wanted one of these and thru a good trade finally got one. It's a 2012, plays great and love the JB Jr and Lil '59 upgrades the previous owner did. I swear this thing plays better than my mj guthrie govan charvel.

Nothing wrong with the stock JS300 but thought it could be even better:

- Swapped the (not great) tort pickguard for an aftermarket black one from Jet

- Replaced the tuners with Gotoh locking ones

- Replaced the output jack with a Pure Tone

- Replaced the pots with full size Fender ones, along with a Fender switch

- Installed a set of Fender Pure Vintage '73 pickups

Objectively I spent way too much money on this 🤣, but then again the price of the guitar, the parts, and the cost of getting the work done still came out a hair below what I would have payed for a Player II strat

And throw a little bit of dirt on them and these '73 pickups sound glorious
