So the glued up Epiphone Les Paul studio is done. Still rocking the heavy gauge strings tuned to drop B. Changed all the hardware to black it out, because I chose to stick this random set of EMG 60/81 that I had sitting around. Just a pickup selector and a single master volume. It’s pretty dope. I really enjoy the simplicity of one knob.

My strap "lock" broke. What do you all think a repair like this goes for, roughly?

Need advice on setting this up please. The frets above 13 are slightly outta pitch. I tightened the trus rod 1/8 clockwise I messed with the intonation and the action is where I want it. Problem is the guitar also was feeling to stiff, I'm not sure how to explain. Like perfectly straight, chords and shredding felt off. I have been playing fender stratocaters for 10 years this is my first (Gibson related) guitar

From what I've read you're supposed to just turn the screw posts to raise or lower the bridge. As you can see in this picture when I turn the screw post counterclockwise to raise the bridge it is staying exactly where it is. It appears that there is a hex nut below the bridge. Do I need to turn that in order to raise the bridge?

hello I just got these artec active humbuckers for cheap ,they are really good but a bit microphonic nothing crazy,i was wondering if the can handle a 24v or 18v mod

I bought this the ESP LTD EC-256 on eBay with that crack. I didn’t know about the crack. Can it be saved an how much would it cost (round about?)

I can use the guitar but it looks horrible.

Just got this guitar and the clear coat on the binding is flaking off in a few spots. I’m thinking maybe taping off the fretboard and neck then applying clear coat nail polish and then sanding it down? Idk any advice?

Bought this nice Fender 12 string last year. A few weeks ago, I noticed a crack where the neck attaches to the body.

How do I repair this?
