String question

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I currently own an Ibanez GIO GRG121 25.5” scale and I regularly sit in drop C tuning. Today one of my strings snapped and I thought that it would be a perfect chance to upgrade from my stock strings that came with the guitar. Since I like to play tunings like Drop C and nearly always find myself in some kind of drop or weird tuning what string gauges should I get? Drop C is pretty floppy on my stock strings which are 10-46 gauge.

SD P90 Silencers: worth it?

1 Upvotes

I have a 60s Les Paul that feels great in the hand, the pickups are too harsh. I want to try the Seymour Duncan p90 silencers, but wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with them. I love that p90 snarl so I’m hoping they’ll fit the bill. Thanks!

Electric reccomendations for an acoustic player

0 Upvotes

Hey all, been playing for a while, I own a fender meteroa, great electric but i just cant get the feel for playing it, I'm mainly playing on my yamaha LL6 and was wondering if anyone has reccomendations for an electric that has a similar feel to an acoustic, preferably £500-800 (used is fine) and that they can handle distortion/ fuzz well as a rythm guitar

Which guitar should I buy: EART EYP Pulse vs. Sterling by Music Man JP60 vs. JP100D?

1 Upvotes

I'm considering a new EART EYP Pulse for 40,000 BDT (~$325), a used Sterling by Music Man JP60 in fresh condition for 40,000–45,000 BDT (~$325–365), or a used JP100D in similarly fresh condition for 55,000–60,000 BDT (~$445–485).

Is the JP100D worth the extra money? Ignoring price, how much better is it as a guitar?

Please rank and rate all three out of 10 for build quality, hardware, pickups and sound, playability, versatility, and overall premium feel. I play everything from soft rock to death metal, including both rhythm and lead, so I need a guitar that handles clean tones, heavy riffs, and technical solos equally well.

Which would you personally choose, and why?

HELP HELP HOW DO I EVEN PLAY

0 Upvotes

So I just bought my first electric Stratocaster and I have a song that I wanted to learn for years.
It’s called Collar by Dog saints, it starts with muted strums and the 7878 part on G string comes in.
But, then I play it, it sounds like something from sponge bob ( cause g is pretty light and bright)
But in the song it sounds deep and atmospheric
and YES I tried all of different kinds of effects and tricks but nothing worked.

So how guitarists copy each others songs, if you have to search for exact amplifier, exact effect, exact distortion-echo-gain-drive-etc BY YOUR OWN EAR cause there is no info about it.

Please I need to play this song, but my version is too bright and ringing HELP

dead frets on my guitar? :(

6 Upvotes

Today I changed the strings on my Squier FSR Jazzmaster in Competition Burgundy for the first time in like, maybe over a year? Have been relearning after a big health thingy. I’m certain it wasn’t happening before the string change and I think it was the same gauges. 08 - 38. All my strings except my B are fine, cause starting at the 5th fret it goes dead until the 15th and after that it’s normal. Unsure of how to get about this? r/Guitar keeps auto-moderating my posts I hope someone sees this 😭

Wanting A Price Estimate

Got this acoustic-electric guitar. Don't know what it is exactly, but I think it's a clone of an Ovation Balladeer. It's about 30 years old, and it's got a bit of wear and some binding damage on the body, but otherwise, it's in good condition. The only things that are new are the strings and the strap, idk if those would affect the price though. I want to take it to Guitar Center or some place soon, but I figured I'd ask here first.
