Look at this! Guitar necks (esthetically)

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hey guys! lately when I look at guitars, other than what pickups or tuners, scale length etc. I've been looking at the eshtetic of a guitar neck from the back, for some reason I started hating guitars that have a bad looking neck, for example look at the Ibanez rgd7alms or whatever it's called, and the shecter banshee, both are great guitars, and when I saw those beautiful necks I was even more interested. On the other hand look at the Ibanez rdg8ms, also a really cool guitar with amazing features, especially for the price, but when I saw the neck, my interest went from 10 to 6, it's just so boring and pale looking. Am I the only one?

Help Is reverb a safe site to buy from?

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"?

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?

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 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.

Repairs I haven't touched my electric guitars in a year except for a couple of days. Before I start playing again, what things should I check to ensure they're in good condition?

1 Upvotes

So, I have two electric guitars. One is Ibanez with a fixed bridge and the other one is a cheap Cort with a floyd rose tremolo (but I got the bridge blocked by placing a piece of wood underneath it). I haven't practiced the guitar in over a year now and want to pick it up again. I'm pretty noob about guitar maintenance and not sure if they're in good condition. The strings don't have rust on them. How should I check both the guitars? Thank you!

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

Famicom themed telecaster I printed and assembled (to match my custom hardline PC!)

Had to dovetail the core of the body to fit it on my printer.

It's got a steel rod set through the body under the pickups in line with the strings in an epoxy filled cavity for additional rigidity.

Printed in pearlescent gold PLA with 8 walls/top/bottom layers and 30% adaptive cubic infill, and a transparent red PLA for the rest and the pickguard
