Currently I have a Strinberg EGS 216, I've been playing it for about a year, and I want to change guitars because my current one buzzes on the sixth string, goes out of tune very easily with bends, has little sustain, etc. I even took it to a luthier, had the frets leveled, set up, and put a Little HH777 in the bridge, but it still doesn't satisfy me with the sound. My current setup is: Meteoro 35GS, BOSS DS2, Small Clone, and TM300. I mainly play Nirvana most of the time, but I'm interested in and really want to learn Hendrix (I play Hey Joe and Purple Haze), jazz, some Michael Jackson riffs, etc.

I'm undecided whether to buy a Squier Classic Vibe 50 Stratocaster, or a Jaguar or a Mustang (Classic Vibes).

I really like Nirvana's sound, but I think I'll get tired of it eventually, and I'm afraid that if I choose the Jaguar or the Mustang I might regret it because they might not sound as good for the other styles I want to play. But at the same time, I think I already have a Stratocaster and I should get an offset now that I'm going to evolve my guitar playing. I don't know, I'm very undecided, which is why I came to Reddit to gather opinions.

Hey all. I have a solid body LP style guitar and I've noticed a strange phenomenon on the 12th and 14th fret of the G string specifically. When I hit those notes hard I hear what sounds like a minor second doubling the note — almost like a ghost pitch alongside the fundamental.

The weird part is how conditional it is:

• Only happens on the bridge pickup
• Only with hard attack — soft playing it disappears completely
• Only on a cranked Marshall emulation with specific EQ and mic placement settings
• Adding a Tube Screamer makes it disappear entirely
• Turning down the bright channel volume on the amp sim makes it disappear
• Clean signal — totally gone
• Unplugged the guitar sounds beautiful on those frets

Took it to a tech and the setup is clean. Intonation checks out fine on a clip-on tuner.

My current theory is sympathetic resonance from the G string saddle being excited above an activation threshold by hard attack, then amplified by the presence peak in the Marshall emulation. But I'm not certain.

Has anyone experienced this on an LP style guitar? Is it the saddle? Tailpiece height? Just an inherent characteristic of a resonant LP style guitar interacting with certain amp settings? Any fixes that worked for you?

Where can I find music that only requires the guitar. Most of the songs on sites like songsterr require a whole band + vocals to be played. I just want to be able to pick up a guitar and play a song from start to finish without needing any backing tracks. Where can I find music like that and tabs for them?

I'd like to buy a new telecaster. Now I have a Squier Sonic Tele (I started to learn play the guitar 1 year ago), but now I want a better one. I can't decide which one would be the best choice.

Fender Standard Telecaster

or

Fender Squier Classic Vibe 50s Telecaster

These two guitars are in the same price, so please help me which one would be better. :D

So I have 2 electric guitars that buzz when I fret them. I have a notches straight edge and they both have slight forward bow. The catch is I use a 74-12 on one and 70-12 on the other. ( drop A# and C standard ) the strings are not balanced, 74,44,32-. This is how my favorite guitarist does his strings but I can not figure out why I’m getting buzzing. Any advice would be appreciated
