A Friday sketch I just finished!
He looks a bit angry, but my husband (who knows more about Nirvana than I do) says he wasn’t always in the happiest moods..so maybe it fits? 🤷🏻♀️

I am in love.
The new Gretsch Premier Jet. This one plays even better than the one in the store. The sustain blows me out of the water too, the strings ring for so damn long. This is my first mid range guitar, although I'm kinda inexperienced I can tell this will be a dream to continue learning on.

Just curious what guitars you guys own
Random question but I’m curious what everyone here is playing. What guitars do you currently own, and which one do you end up picking up the most? Doesn’t matter if it’s budget, custom, acoustic, electric whatever just interested in seeing the variety. Also if you had to keep only ONE from your collection which one are you choosing?

Can somebody identify this Martin acoustic?
Each of these guitars are being sold on the Facebook marketplace for extremely cheap. The seller hasn't replied to my messages asking for more information. Judging from the lack of response, I'm almost certainly not making a deal. However, now I'm just interested in the idea of an affordable Martin. Does Martin make a guitar that resembles this that would normally sell used for sub-$200

NGD: Donner Hush X Pro in Midnight Glow
I wanted something to use on the couch while my wife is watching TV, small with no headstock hitting her in the face and as quiet as possible in the room.
I like learning using Rocksmith+ on my iPad and the Hush X Pro has a USB-C port for charging but it worked flawlessly with RS+ : simply plug USB-C to USB-C and plug headphones into the Hush X Pro and Rocksmith can "hear" the guitar but also sends it's output back to the guitar so you get the full mix with no latency. It works far better than I expected!
Finish on the guitar is really nice, colorshifting in different lights and having onboard effects/amp modeling and a tuner is great for just noodling at my desk when I need a break from working.
Here's a cool video of Herman Li showing what this travel guitar is capable of - https://youtu.be/rmuPWOYiyKQ

Help identifying exact Washburn Nuno Bettencourt model
Hi,
I've had this guitar in my possession for about 15-17 years now, bought it off my guitar teacher when I was in my early teenage years. He switched the pickups to these Catalysts, and I'm not sure if he did anything more.
Searching online I can't seem to trace it to a specific model number. It looks like an N2 but every image I find has some small differences that make it hard for me to confirm what exact model or configuration it is.
The serial number also doesn't help. Washburn FAQ states the first two numbers typically represent the model year, but of course this thing is not from the forties.
Would someone know a bit more about this model and price?

Hello friends! Drummer here that dabbles in guitar with a question.
Let the drummer jokes fly! But I do need help with something.
I have a cheapish Ibanez acoustic that I play a bit. I can strum some open and bar chords and harmonize the 3rd and 5ths fairly well. The guitar sounds great, but the action is ASS.
I want to have someone work on the action for all the reasons I dont need to list...so here are my questions:
The guitar is about 8 years old and cast me $250. Should I even bother having it worked on?
If I do, what's a fair price to pay for a workover? What should I ask to be done outside of getting the action reworked?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Peace be with you all, and Happy Easter!

Dangelico mods
Hey guys I have a dangelico boardwalk semi hollow with humbuckers. One of my favorite guitars I’ve ever played, I really love the neck, but I’ve been having some problems with tuning stability. I need to tune it multiple times a day even with only occasional playing. It still sounds great but I was wondering if there’s anything I can do to improve tuning stability without breaking the bank?
I’m also a little unsatisfied with the jazz tone. I’m pretty sure it has a jazz humbucker in the neck but it doesn’t have a thumpy character to the low strings that I like for chord playing.

Classical nuts on electric guitars?
Hi all!
I was playing a friend's classical recently and found myself really enjoying the wide fretboard!
it's the first time I've played a classical since I was a teenager at school, and was wondering if there were any electric guitar makes with similarly wide nuts and a classical feel?
Thanks all!

Help with new pickup sounding really weird
I got a Dimarzio Super Distortion S in my mustang, just had it installed, I brought it home and plugged it in and it sounds like shit, it's very weak and thin sounding, it's very quiet and all treble, no mids or bass, I don't know if it was a wiring mishap or the pickup itself, I've tried raising and lowering it but that didn't help

First guitar
Hi, im a total beginner at guitar and I am currently looking at used guitars on market place. I saw a used squire stratocaster affinity 2024 for 280 CAD. I also saw a squire telecaster standard 2011 for the same price. From what I saw, the standard would be the "better" guitar, but I'm not sure about my choice. Can someone who knows a lot about guitar guide me with what guitar would be the best for me please? I don't really have a specific type of music that I want to play with them. Also, I like the look of the affinity slighty more, but If the telecaster standard is a much better guitar, I think i'd rather have it.
