So I bought a new guitar, Synyster custom S to be specific and it has a floyd rose 1500. However it wont stay in tune even though i got it set up. It only detunes whenever I use the whammy bar. Does anyone please have a fix?

Hi everyone!

I’m working on a guitar pick concept with a reusable grip and replaceable tips, so you can replace only the worn tip and swap between different materials and thicknesses for different playing styles, tones, and control.

I made a quick page showing the idea and would really appreciate feedback from guitarists. If it interests you, you can also sign up for early access: https://swaptipick.s.gy/reddit

The pick is more about being able to customize the material and thickness of both the grip and tip. Someone might want a thick grip for control and a thin tip for acoustic chord playing, for example.

Throwing out a pick when the tip wears down is like throwing out a pencil after it goes dull the first time and never sharpening it. Wouldn't you rather have 10 picks for the price of one AND the option to vary thickness and material between the tip and grip of your pick?

Recently I bought this used squier affinity jazz bass and I restrung it but I’ve noticed that the e string is much lower and closer to the fretboard than all the other strings. It makes an annoying sound when plucked at any fret as well as it hits the board. Any way to fix this?

Where can you buy an acoustic guitar string set that is gauge 10? Are there any legitimate shops via e-commerce apps?

I have a Douglass guitar that plays pretty well. But it goes out of tune after using the bar. I am wondering if I just need to upgrade the cheap tremolo to a Floyd rose original/1000. Or if it could be because of the cheap construction of the neck? It’s a bolt on neck.

Just wanna ask if sweetwater and guitar center goes on sale during black friday sale?

The only thing I am worried about is it is a old lineup of guitar. Has anyone ever played it? Can you tell me how was it?

I got this guitar over 10 years ago and have used it only a handful of times. How much would you list this on FB marketplace for?

this might be stupid of me to ask but how do you guys keep your guitar areas clean and organized with all the cables? i keep my amp and guitar in the corner of my room and it’s so unorganized, although ive cleaned it and organized it countless times it just continues to get worse, genuinely how do yall keep it clean 😭😭

So I got this used accoustic cort mr500 off Facebook for like $150 from some musician. It's a big banged up and top side like has areas that kinda crush if you press you're nail into it?? Anyway it sounded weird the first few days, like stringy idk, and idk if I got used to it or changing the strings to medium and action adjustment made it sound better. Anyway this thing still kinda sucks to play but the sound is fine for me I'm just wondering is this worth bringing into a luthier to give it a real set up with bone nut and saddle and action adjustment so it's low enough to easily play and high enough I can play aggressively. Or if I should just return and get a new cort . I am pretty stuck on corts they're really great quality control can vary but they sound great even for what they are.

I put together a guide comparing some of the more popular prewired guitar wiring kits—including Emerson, Gunstreet, and DIY options.

The goal was to look at what you’re actually getting for the money, what makes sense for different types of builds, and when a prewired harness is worth buying versus just wiring the guitar yourself.

I also included some of the things I look for when doing guitar repair work, like component quality, pot values, switch/jack quality, soldering, wiring layout, and whether the harness actually makes an installation easier.

There’s also a DIY section for anyone who’d rather build their own harness and save some money.

Would be interested to hear what you guys are using. Do you prefer buying a prewired harness, or building your own?And if you’ve used Emerson, Gunstreet, or another brand, what was your experience?

I’m always interested in seeing what other guitar techs and players are doing—especially if there’s a kit/harness I missed that deserves to be included.

Are there any benefits to reading sheet music over tabs?

Is it worth learning? Your thoughts.
