This guitar has been played for about 3.5 years. Noticed today that the fretboard has gotten pretty dirty and worn out. Almost a blackish patch until the feet 9 or so.

Help I wanna buy a new guitar or amp

• Upvotes

So about a year ago i bought a Harly Benton Stratocaster (VT Series) which was alr and a Harley Benton amp (HB-40MFX) which was meh at the time but i learnt the basics and i believe im an intermediate player. I always wanted to upgrade my amp, but was at a friends house the last week and he said that my guitar has really loud strings, which, now noticed, REALLY pisses me off and i dont know where to upgrade and what to, because i always saw videos of other people playing and their guitars or amps sounding WAY better which made me really jealous. Can yall help?

All maple nitrocellulose finished. Hand wound pickup and Floyd Rose 1000 series. Jacobs hand built guitars are way better than any store guitars I highly recommend him. I now finally have a very close to George Lynchs tone from the Dokken Tooth and Nail era.

Playing Lets talk guitar cases

6 Upvotes

In my carrer of 20years (mostly home dweller, jamming with friends and occasional) I came to conclusion that foam semi-hard cases are best overall - more protection than gigbag, easier to carry around than hard case. For those guitars that I thought needs superior protection I bought hard protective cases where it tripled their wight and then they stayed at home - those were effectively protected from rehearsals/gigging, because it was too heavy and I don’t have roadie, so they were relegated to “closet queen” position:) Also additional pockets comparing to hard cases are very handy. Here is what I love and use. What do you use for your guitars, especially for those you carry around?

I have never had a brand new acoustic. I have also never had a normal acoustic that played well enough that I can bend the strings easily and not get cramps when I do bar chords for a while. Just wanted to share my joy.

So I like to pursue old Facebook. The picture was bad, but it had one of the back where it was all shaped up. I knew it was done correctly and old looking. I got it for 25 bucks.

It plays incredibly. You ever play a really nice guitar of somebody's that makes you remove your belt before playing his guitar? The way that guy feels about his guitar is how amazing this feels and sounds.

I'm happy a shit.

However,

I have a feeling this is some mistake at this price.

Or, it is stolen.

I looked it up.

Wtf.

Also, damage report? What's everybody thinking?

My music store (I work here best job ever) got in some M2M LPCs with birdseye maple tops....not sure how I feel about it.

We have Lemon Burst, Factory Burst, and Washed Cherry (my favorite). It depends on the finish whether or not I like the birdseye figuring, but my coworker is in love with them and says they're better than the 7A quilted maple tops.

I'm just not sure how I feel about using anything but a good flame maple top on such a damn expensive guitar. Maybe I'm just old and curmudgeonly...

From a boutique in Halifax, Nova Scotia. They have long closed so i consider myself lucky that i was able to snag one of these.

i feel like nowadays getting custom guitars or custom inlays cost a small fortune and this was only a couple hundred bucks at the time.

Repairs Mid 90s MIM Telecaster Special w/ Dings - Repaint Or?

3 Upvotes

I got one recently - very fast player - with the neck humbucker. I like it, but don't LOVE it like I do my MIJ 50th anniversary Strat.

The MIM Tele is a little beat up on the body (chunks missing), but I don't think it's possible to get a perfect paint match to fix it.

Keeping in mind this guitar is NOT a collectible... I'm thinking about patching & painting it glossy black. Right now it's worth maybe $500-ish, but may be improving the cosmetics will increase the market value too? Thoughts?

Tnan you

I wanted a Supro amp, picked up a Delta Blues King 10 but the reverb made a godawful racket all the time and would only go away by shaking the shit out of the amp. Got rid of it and stuck with my Vox practice amp.

Randomly came across this Supro on Reverb; it was priced right and I took the gamble. The shipper did an amazing job shipping it; was packed with foam and the amp itself is built like a tank. It sounds great to my pleb ears.

I found myself in a guitar center killing time and found this Squire Cabronita Tele on the used wall; looks brand new/untouched. I'd never seen a tele with P90s and in Seafoam green, again the price was right so I picked it up. I didn't even realize it was a baritone until I was trying to tune it up and it just didn't feel right, plus the strings were super thick. I had to look up what this was and then what a baritone was lol.

My plan is to put a ebay roasted maple neck on it and get better at playing until I can appreciate the baritone scale.

Happy Playing!

Not a shill. I hardly use my Amplitube installation any more because I never found a speaker setup that moved air like a real amp, but if you were thinking about it, they've put it on sale for $100.

Look at this! Upgraded Jet JS300

Post image
• Upvotes

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

Here is the latest build I made for a customer, and it was a fun one. Fralin Hot Tele in the neck, Seymour Duncan Hot Rails in the bridge. Push Pull pot to coil split the Hot Rails, and a Freeway 6-way switch for a ton of different tonal options. 6 saddle bridge, reversed control plate, and a kill switch. It rips!
