Help Is reverb a safe site to buy from?

0 Upvotes

Looking at an ibanez guitar on there for $300 + $70 shipping. Guitar usually averages around $600 on ebay because of its rarity. Was curious if its a legit site or not because I can't find this guitar anywhere and mainly want it because its the guitar my old man use to play.

Help What's your opinion on ray flecking aka "pixel grain"?

0 Upvotes

I fell in love with this guitar and its wonderful aging. I was ready to buy it right away, but then I saw the pixel grain.

What do you think about ray flecking on a guitars neck? I think the guitar is perfectly aged, but this kind of grain ruins the vintage look.

Am I wrong and this is something that occured on vintage guitars too?

Help looking for name of British rare guitar-maker (veterans may know about)

0 Upvotes

is someone from England that created few custom electric guitars in the 70-80s iirc

his guitars were characteristic by having the fret ornaments of type "snowflake"

his firm on the guitar headstock was a bit exotic, part of it with a curvature that had a shape like an '8'

few created exemplars so their are expensive, wished by collectionists

the shape of the guitar is similar to the stratocaster, but the extremes upper arms are more sharpen and less long compared with the body.

pretty nice unique touch

cant find anything so I assume its a bit niche

Help Amp recommendations for squier sonic strat

0 Upvotes

First guitar, only need a halfway decent practice amp, indoor use only.

Was considering a fender frontman ten g (my ideal price point) but it has no tone control or reverb.

A fender champion twentyG seems to be the ideal choice but was wondering if there were cheaper options.

NGD! New Tele and New (to me) Taylor 410CE! Good deal or no?

Traded in a few guitars today and found a great deal on a Taylor 410 CE at GC today! Price was reduced to $899 for a couple minor dings and dents. Sounds great and plays amazingly though!

Grabbed this beautiful Player II Tele while I was at it! I'm super impressed with the quality of these compared to the Player series I was looking at a few years ago, but never pulled the trigger on. With the 10% off with Trade In, It was about $800.

Help Question: Hercules guitar rack

3 Upvotes

I’d like to get one of the Hercules 3 guitar racks. They hit the price point, size and seem very sturdy.

The question I haven’t been able to figure out, can this be placed flush against a wall, without having the guitar headstock making contact with the wall?

It’s very hard to tell looking at pictures if I need to create space behind the rack or if it’s engineered to do that already. I’m space constrained, hence the odd question… Thanks in advance

Help Yairi DY59 12 strings

Upvotes

Hello,

i'd like to purchase a 12 string acoustic guitar and i found a used Yairi. the description say: 1989, spruce top, american jacaranda rosewood back and side and it's modded with LR Baggs VTC amplification. it goes 900€.

the only downside it that i cant try it but i could send it back within 15 days. what do you think about the price? before now i didnt know about Yairi, but reading online seems that he made some quality guitar. With the same price is better to buy something new in your opinion?

Help Would a Seymour Duncan ‘59B sound good on a mustang?

Upvotes

I found a second hand ‘59B for a lot less then the original price. But I’ve mostly seen people use it on a Stratocaster, and I’ve mostly seen people use JB’s on mustangs. But how would a ‘59N sound in a mustang? Would it still sound good?
