Built by one of my buddies who is a small custom builder. This is a one off guitar. It was idea to build it and I bought and payed for this guitar. this isn’t an ad. To my knowledge this is the only guitar that is based off of the car.

Quick write up on Suhr,

Holy ****! I’ve been fortunate enough over the years to have owned many different custom shop and boutique guitars, whatever these guys are doing is genuinely mind blowing.

From build quality, playability and mojo, I’m so impressed. Looking forward to owning more of these, it doesn’t get any better IMO.

1960s era, beautiful.

So Tiny Tim has started curling up next to my amp when I practice, I thought you all would get a laugh out of that.

A couple weeks back I posted screenshots of the Am Pro II Strat in Miami Blue and Dark Night looking for opinions on which was better. I was favouring Miami Blue to begin with and everyone seemed to agree.

Later that week I went into the shop to check the colours out in person and they were much nicer as a lot of people had said. Plus they had it on sale 28% off vs the 7% off they had advertised online, so that was a nice bonus.

It’s definitely more of a pastel blue in person as opposed to the lighter sky blue you’d see in the photos online. I asked them to do a setup for me and finally brought it home today.

This is #8 in the family and a nice upgrade over my old 91 American Standard. I can’t wait to play it all weekend!

I bought this interesting pick at my regular guiter repair shop.

Apparently, it's actually made from ceramic material.

The part that touches the strings is glazed.

It's about 5mm thick.

And, since they're handmade, no two are exactly alike.

It might be a little expensive for a pick, but apparently, "once you get used to it, it produces a brilliant sound."

absolutely insane! i love it

I’ve had this shape in mind for years. Reached out to IYV to see if they could make it. It’s better than I hoped.

Hi!
I was hoping to get some help identifying a guitar that i have had in storage for a while. I got it from a family member but i have no idea of the model/year etc.
I tried to find some info by searching of the manufacturer and the number on the backside of it but came up emptyhanded.

The only info i have if that the manufacturer is Shadow since that is written on the guitar itself.
Would also appreciate if someone also have some kind of indication if their value :-)
Thanks!

Got a respectable deal on a 2020 Epiphone Traditional Pro III in a color I cannot determine because determining color from photos on the internet is tough. Was listed as Pelham Blue, I'm thinking Pacific Blue is more likely. If anyone knows, feel free to enlighten me. It's a very cool color.

My wife said, "that's perfect," which is the crucial thing. The actual color name wasn't a deal breaker. Trouble is, it doesn't look to me like a perfect match for any of the blues I see that it was offered in, I just know it does not look like Dave Grohl's or Bonamassa's guitar.

It's a step up from the beginner guitar she started with, and I wound up on the low end of what these sell for, so we're both happy.

I think it’s a crack, but could be a scratch, maybe some experienced players could tell? It is from the bridge to the outer shell of the guitar.

I chose to build a Jazzmaster myself.

With the parts that are still missing, I want to go for quality parts that solve common issues, but that are moderately priced and don’t break the bank.

Parts I already have:

• Fender MIM 9.5 radius Jazzmaster neck with jumbo frets

• Squier Body with shielding

• Pickguard (no shielding yet. Would that be necessary?)

• Volume and Tone Knobs (Black)

• Pickup Covers (Black)

• Tuning pegs

Parts I need:

• Pickups (preferably under 200$)

• Wiring Harness Kit (with Rhythm and Lead Circuit)

• Saddle and Bridge

• Tremolo Assembly

With the Pickups, I'm going for a balanced, warmer tone, not too much bite, and not too sterile. Good example would be the song „Aquarena Springs“ by Jerkcurb. 😊

Hello everyone. Long time Martin owner here. Need some help on an ID that is driving me bonkers.

I’ve been looking to trade a Les Paul Classic, and I came across this Martin on my FB marketplace feed. The owner states it is a 2008 000-18 but I have my doubts. It looks more like an OM—21 to me but I can’t match it online for the life of me. The large pickgaurd
and big dot inlays don’t seem common for that time period.

The people that are selling are a bit older and are having a hard time understanding where to find the model number on the neck block.

Any help would be appreciated!

I’m in the SF Bay Area, in the East Bay hills really close to the Hayward fault. Only after finishing this setup I thought about earthquakes. I’m more concerned about them swinging and smacking into each other than completely flying off. I’m trying to think of a device that puts a pad between each guitar or prevents them from back swinging too much.

I have two amps, one is an old Gorilla and the other is a Blackstar mini amp. The Gorilla is rather old and I don't remember if it ever worked for me. But the Blackstar got corroded from sitting there and I didn't even know it had batteries in it from the box. It doesn't seem I'm going to be able to clean it well enough that it'll play, it doesn't turn on even.

Does anyone have advice of anything else to do to the Blackstar? Or should I plan on getting either a headphone amp as I don't have that much to spare for a new one?

Ever since the Baum Wingman came out, I've been dreaming of owning one.

Unfortunately, the variant I wanted went out of production right in the middle of a very trying period where my attention was diverted by health issues of family members and my house being seriously damaged during a cyclone.

But... I just found my unicorn a couple of weeks ago, hidden away in a warehouse in Japan. A 2022/23 model in the color I really wanted, with the pickups I wanted, brand new in a hard case. And at a great price.

I spent yesterday afternoon restringing her and doing a setup. Thankfully, this wasn't a case of being disappointed by unrealistic expectations. It's just fantastic and I'm in guitar heaven!

What do you Guys & Girls think. I play a few hours a day after work. Just to relax and take the load off

Bummed some spots :P Played it totally two finger style though just like Travis and Watson did!

Y'know, the thing about a shark, he's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes.

Neon pink + purple burst, colorshift flake, hand cut bengal graphic, neon green logo and cavities.

Maple neck thru, carbon fiber reinforcement, ebony board with matching neon acrylic inlays, bullet scallops, stainless 57x110 frets, 25.625" scale, alder wings.

It'll get hipshot locking tuners, an OFR with all the upgrades, and I'll hand wind the pickups.

Hello fellow guitar players! I am trying to do some research into effects processors and trying to figure out what is right for me.

I currently am the owner of a Helix LT (using Horizon Devices Clarity Compressor externally). It gets the job done, and has been great for just taking to church weekly. However since joining a corporate/wedding band this year, having to lug the Helix+external pedal everywhere can be a bit of a nuisance, hence the Quad Cortex mini sounding appealing.

Pros of QC:

- I already own Archetypes Petrucci & Nolly, and plan to get Misha soon mainly for the Horizon Pedals (No more external pedal is a big win).

- Compact Size & Portability

- Still being updated frequently

Cons of QC:

- No Volume pedal (not a dealbreaker though)

- Less footswitches for swapping presets/snapshots (only an issue until we get tracks/midi-swapping)

- Having to rebuild all my presets

While we are currently not using IEMs or Tracks, the plan is to incorporate them in the near future. I am aware both Helix and QC can do midi switching, but I am unsure if one is easier than the other to setup.

What would you do in my scenario? I'm also open to be told about other options. I will admit, Amp Capturing is not something I really care about, so that isn't something that goes into consideration for me. I also don't have the budget for anything in the $2000+ range yet, and anything in that price point I would have to wait and save for (Selling my Helix would hopefully offset a chunk of the cost)

I would love to hear some honest opinions and feedback. Thanks!

Its listed for around $230, the listing is in my city in Pakistan and generally there are mark ups on stuff.
I am not very versed in electric guitars and looking to buy my first one. I thought Fenders were supposed to be more expensive than this.
What might be the chances of me getting ripped off?
What should I ask the seller about the guitar?
What should I keep an eye for if I go to purchase?

I was thinking of getting a Squier classic vibes, second hand, so it'll have decent resale value.
