The Official Guitar Thread

I figured this would be the best place to ask this. I am looking for a starter Ukulele for my 5 year old niece. Came across this and wanted to ask if anybody had any input.

Haha nah. Thx. There were a lot of "toy" ukes that were on Amazon and the reviews were iffy so just found that at Guitar Center.

I have a mandolin and that's fun to play sometimes. But I just can't get into the ukulele and I pretty much hate everything about them.

Planning on fixing up my Les Pau after the new year instead of a new guitar. $350 new frets (0 frets left), $150 nut job although I may see if I can do that, new gold hardware.(but will save the old stuff obviously), new pickups by me (not sure what yet). Expensive but she deserves to be played. She's older than me, a true milf

Soon it will be like the old joke. It's all original. It has one tiny thing left on it that wasn't changed lol. Seen people apply it to cars as well.

Well I could either hang it up as is, or play it. There's not much to compromise on

While in Nashville for business I stopped by Carter Vintage Guitars. What a guitar shop! Probably the best I've ever been to. Little soundproof jam rooms with vintage amps stacked to the ceiling so you can really test the gear and an amazing selection.



Found a Taylor 714 I loved. Always wanted a Taylor 614 or better and the price on this was very respectable. Wasn't really planning on buying anything but I ended up buying it. They're shipping it to me on Monday and it should arrive Thursday. Stoked on this purchase! First guitar I've purchased in damn near 10 years.

Looks like I'd play 0% of the guitars there, but nice buying a new guitar. I've always wanted a nice acoustic

Yeah they definitely don't cater to the metal guitars. I don't even know if I saw an Ibanez. Then again, are vintage Ibanezes even a thing? It was definitely my kinda jam though.

There are some vintage ones. They caught a lot of flak for ripping off Les Paul's early on. Some roadstar models , destroyers, etc.

Duane Allman may not be the greatest slide guitar player of all time but I’d require video evidence to contrary.

I'd put Derek Trucks above him. Ian Thornley too. But y'know, they got a few decades on Duane.

When I think slide guitar I think Ry Cooder myself.

Speaking of Ian Thornley, have you seen the clips of the new Big Wreck album that's being mixed. Ian has obviously dusted off some of the "Thornley" outtakes. Make sure to click to the right and hear the solo for that same song.

Anything you're looking for in particular? Check reverb?
