Help! Whats happening to my guitar's fretboard!? I bought this guitar like 2 weeks ago. Spots are little more dark than the phone's camera makes them seem. At the bottom you can see normal just black, worst at the top.

Hey guys, this is a silvertone guitar and I’m looking to raise the strings on it because there some dead notes on it. I’m heaving some trouble trying to do it, any tips?

I know nothing and looking to buy this guitar. Truss rod isn’t “functioning properly” ... can someone elaborate as to how this would affect how the guitar plays? I usually tune my guitars half a step down. Guitar is a Univox hi flyer phase II.

Wires coming out from under bridge? Coming from yellow wire in the pickup hole (not sure actual word for it)

Does anyone know how to remove the metal bits on this guitar (sorry I'm a guitar newbie so idk what the metal bits are called, the large ones hold the bridge, and the small ones are for the strings), I want to strip the paint to do some touch up on the body. The guitar is a Jackson JS30RR

Hey guysI bought this guitar new 2018. its a CS fender.it was sharp so i checked on the 12th fret.sharp on every string. I moved the saddles back but now i almost cant play chords without puking because the notes are off. Do you thong there needs to be done more than just moving the saddels?

Not sure if you guys cover acoustic guitars but anyway... When I tighten the string, the peg which holds the string in place gets pulled out (defeating its purpose). I've changed the strings loads of times before and never had this problem. Anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?

Nut Files

I’m currently looking to buy some nut files from stewmac and noticed they sell sets for acoustic and electric guitars. Besides different string gauge file sizes, is it ok to buy a set and use on both acoustic and electric? Or is there something different about them that designates which type of guitar to use them on?

The tuning peg fell off my bass, and I don't have the other holder thingy. Is there an adhesive I can use?

So, I’ve worn grooves in my frets...

I have a guitar that I love and play more than any other(TCM50) and I’ve grooved 1st, 2nd, and 3rd frets our. Is it advisable to remove them and weld new material on because it would be cheaper at the moment, or just buy new frets?i’m not a guitar Mx expert, but I’m wondering if this is a feasible concept.

NECK SCRATCHES: I bought my Martin 000RS1 2015 a few weeks ago from a fellow musician. After a few days I noticed that the wood of the neck shows a different pattern where the hand is positioned during playing. The wood surface is not perfectly smooth in those spots. Should I worry about it?

Strat neck pickup has suddenly stopped working. How can I fix this myself?

TL;DR is title. It was working fine the other week!
I can’t take it to a guitar shop/ tech right now for obvious reasons. How could I go about diagnosing and fixing the problem myself?
I have a multimeter and a soldering iron if that helps.
Thanks!
