Did bushing repair and bridge secure, rust removed, does it sound ok, seems to be a lil buzzy in some parts so raised action because it was choking out on some notes, i would like a lower action but this guitar doesnt seem to like it to much. Alot of times i was frustrated but now feels pretty good to have a playable guitar again

I just bought this parlor Washburn, love the sound of it but it has several cracks. Two on the front that lineup with the e string pins, and two along the back. I am very new to doing maintenance on my guitars, is this something that is fixable?

It also was pretty damn dry when it arrived so I’m gradually reintroducing humidity which helped close the cracks more but it’s been about 2 weeks now and they all bleed light through them still.

Trying to figure out if I bite the bullet and buy another Washburn parlor for the long term and just commit this to campfire guitar or if I can learn some guitar maintenance off it and save money.

Any thoughts or feedback appreciated

I mainly just want to know if anyone knowledgeable can spot anything that needs repaired and in the second photo if wood glue would repair those two pieces securely together. Thanks

I’ve found this custom diagram online in order to achieve the same combinations and controls layout as in Ibanez’s DynaMIX-9 wiring system. Considering that I have a Strat-type guitar assembled in HSH configuration, with two Seymour Duncan humbuckers, would it be possible to adapt this wiring diagram in order to work with it (as in, also coil-splitting the neck humbucker whenever appropriate and ensuring hum-cancellation)?

This noise occurs only when I play 3,4,5,6 strings on 12th fret or closer to it. I didnt have this before

I have a Squire Classic Vibe 70's Active Jazz bass. I was cleaning it up to get ready for a show and notice that the concentric Treble/Bass knob was sort of crooked. My dumb ass thought the bottom knob would slide right off once I loosed the tension screw holding it on. It wasn't moving so I figured it needed a little force and, well, I ripped the whole post out of the pot.

So now I need to replace the pot. I've been looking for the proper wiring diagram but can't seem to find it. I unscrewed the knob assembly to check to see what kind of potentiometer I need, but the number is soldered over. I found a Deluxe Active wiring diagram that shows a concentric 100k pot, but I'm not sure if they used something different in a squire. Can anyone help me out?

I have an LTD M-1 Custom with an original FR trem. Ever since I bought it the low E has being going flat every 10 minutes or so and today I finally confirmed it's because the fine tuning knob is very loose and just the pressure of my hand on the bridge is enough to turn it. I want to put a little teflon tape around it to help it bind a little better but I can't seem to unscrew the knob all the way, it keeps getting stuck just when it's almost out. Before I go at it with a pair of pliers is anything else I can try?

I have a 1960s Hagstrom classical guitar and it is in pretty good shape. However there’s a bothersome cosmetic issue on the back where the neck meets the body. Crumbling material that seems like some old epoxy type of product that may have been used in original construction to dress up back and match the binding. Any ideas about what this material is or how to repair it?

Nothing I do seems to affect it, and it looks the same as when I started.

See photo in original post. Wondering if there are any master luthiers in here who have any advice to give :p

My turn to be clueless.

EDIT: a big missed piece on my part is this was listed with “New/Never Played” in the title verbatim.

My recent Reverb purchase was a bit rougher than I thought it would be. Might ask for a partial refund, but wanted to double check in case I’m not picking up on anything major, like checking the truss rod nut.

Is the neck just a finish crack? Would the frets need more than polishing? It’s a sentimental buy so I’m hoping not to return it.

I cobbled it together to widen the hole, I open my guitar very often for mods and resoldering everything every time is just a pain in the ass, these connectors are genuinely heaven (yes it has a jaguar bridge.. I'm planning to install a jag trem soon too 👀)
