Should I buy or not?

I found this ESP LTD F-50 Red Electric Guitar online locally and he was asking 200$ for it. I offered 100$ because of the damage to the head and the paint underneath. Is that a good price to buy it at as he agreed to 100? Ive played acoustic a while ago and want to get back into playing so Im going with electric now. It looks really sick besides the damage and if it works Id like to buy it unless yall think its a bad idea.

good, affordable guitars for different emo genres as an intermediate player r/guitars

So, ive been playing guitar for about 3 years, all with my shitty squire strat(the pickups are awful and it just never gives me a good tone). I am in an emo band, and our songs tend to be pretty versatile. Im really looking for a guitar with good pickups and that can give me a nice gain tone that can still really refine the melodiness. Any suggestions?

ESP VIPER Custom Order See Through Red Quilted Maple

Ever since I bought this guitar from Japan. I've been eagerly anticipating its arrival. The wait was agonizing because it's so beautiful; I couldn't wait to hold it in my hands and admire it. And when it arrived, it certainly didn't disappoint.

This is a Takada Custom Shop. The craftsmanship is exquisite, and it's in 95% good condition. The only minor flaw is some oxidation on the bridge. The weight is similar to a Gibson, being quite heavy, rich in detail. I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase.😍

Why guitar

Why my guitar sound bad

Like not bad,but silly or i don't know how to explain it.

As a piano player i can explain that is like playing something without a pedal,that's how it sounds my guitar.

When i press a note and changing,it is like a pause between them and i don't understand as a begginer when i have delay on.

Do i need a pedal or something else?

I only have yamaha pacifica 012 with boss kitana mini

New Approach

Hey,

I am trying to learn „your love“ by the outfield. I can get the strumming muting right but as soon as I try to change chords and strumm palm muted and accented everything completely falls apart.
I tried doing it painfully slow but even that doesn’t seem to help. I can’t get it even or right while changeing chords.

You guys got any idea more ideas on how to approach learning this kind of riff?

Which first guitar should I get?

I borrowed my friend’s guitar a while back to try it out and a few years later I’m wanting to buy my own. I don’t know too much, and am just wanting to pick it up as a hobby so looking for something affordable.

I originally wanted a jaguar body simply because I love the look of them, and came across Harley Benton. Reviews and price seem good, and for a casual hobby I don’t want to fork out loads. I’m now stuck between two models and want people’s thoughts. What are the pros and cons please (in simple terms lol) cause I need help choosing.

Like I said, I really don’t have that much knowledge, and don’t know what makes a guitar ‘beginner friendly’ or if that‘s even a thing. It might just be a case of picking the one I like the look of the most but I’d still love to hear what people think.

Side note: if anyone has any pictures please share, I’d love to see them!

Would just like to add that I can’t decide which one I like best as of yet, so I’m kind of hoping the pros and cons will sway me lol

Refret or replace

So my first guitar was a squire affinity hss Strat - one of the Indonesian ones. I’ve had it for 6 years now, but really have only been actively playing this last 2.

Somewhere along the way the second and third frets have gotten a little dinged around the g and b strings.

I’m wondering whether it’s worth it to go and get this refretted/crowned - which would probably be the price of the guitar itself… or if it isn’t worth it.

I do have a new Epiphone riviera but even still - I find myself grabbing my squier much more often due to its comfortability and size.

It does carry some sentimental value in that of my first guitar, but I really can’t see myself upgrading the electronics of it in the future as sinking 2-300 into a 100 euro guitar is a bit mad imo, and likely will buy a player 2 fender Strat in a year or two anyway.

What would you do…

Virtual amp vs real one for beginners?

Hi! I’m planning on getting my first electric guitar. I am a beginner and have never played the guitar before. I was wondering if I should get an actual amp or start practicing with virtual ones first?

I am on a tight budget and have limited space. I am planning on getting an interface so I can record and use the amps on GarageBand. But I have read online that some people complained of latency.

After researching, I have found some options that work with my budget. The guitar I want to get is a Squier Stratocaster. I need help choosing the amp situation. Should I get the Marshall MG10 combo amp or the iRig USB interface to use for virtual amps?

First strat in 15 years ♥️

Went to all guitar shops in Vienna and around, this was the best strat I could find!

Plays and sounds amazing!

Even though it is a true replica of the 54 strat, I think I will make some small Changes. Gonna install that 5 way switch that came with the guitar. Get rid of the Tremolo, don't need that. Maybe even get the tone knob work for the bridge pickup. Maybe even gonna change the pick guard to Black. Seems weird to to this to a reissue of a classic, but that guitar felt best in my hands and I'm gonna make it mine 😁 exciting times

Ребят, помогите гитарку выбрать

Стоит вопрос между Jet JS 400 и Ibanez GRG 121.

Музыку играть буду разную, в основном рок, альт, металл и фанк.

Это первая электро будет, но надо выбрать хорошую, т.к. буду выступать с разучеными песнями и создавать группу.

И комбик какой, что получше будет, думала Marshall DSL20 Combo либо же к ибанезу ибанез на 30 ватт

Which would be best for an absolute beginner?

So after doing some research i have drifted towards an ibanez and now just need to figure out which type would suit me best as an absolute beginner

GRX70QA

GRG121DX

GRGR131EX

i love the aesthetics of the GRX however i is said to have 22 frets not 24 and is a bit thicker i am unsure if that is a deal breaker

i am unsure what the differences are between the 121DX and the 131EX

could someone let me know so i can have an idea on what would be most suitable

also are these all right handed?

Two Slash Les Pauls

​

I took the probuckers out of the Anaconda Burst and put a JB/Jazz set in. Replaced the JB's a5 with a c8 magnet. November Burst has a Perpetual Burn in the bridge, and soon to have a screamin demon in the neck. I'm running through an Axe-Fx II XL+ using the VH4 and Rectifier for rhythm and the Mark IIC+ for leads. Tune is Brute Force by Rabea Massaad.
