    Ummm...let's see what else...Oh! How about Guitar Cakes? Why not.

    Post guitar cakes. Why the fuck not? 😅 In celebration of the reunification of the man and his thought-stolen-but-really-just-misplaced guitar: https://fb.watch/rmZFIdkNvF/

    Truss rod length and scale length, and is there a difference between headstock-adjust and wheel adjust?

    Something I've always wondered...and may seem a bit rambly as I talk through this, because in regards to my understanding, there's a few holes that I'm looking to get filled. I know truss rods come in different lengths for different scale lengths...but I see that there's pretty big jumps in...

    Piezo-only "electric" guitars

    Stretching the definition of the "standard guitars" forum section, I admit, ha! How about guitars that appear to be constructed like a traditional electric guitar, but just happen to have no magnetic pickups, and only piezo systems. (Both simple "acoustic" preamps and Synth/midi allowed.)...

    Worst guitar brand names

    I had this idea for a thread after stumbling across this Reverb listing for a guitar made by Roidz. https://reverb.com/en-gr/item/80150576-roidz-dark-singlecut What are some other terrible names for guitar brands? *Krappy Guitars doesn't count. They know what they are, and living their truth.

    "If I had a Hamer..."

    I kinda sorta want to perhaps consider maybe starting a half-hearted attempt to find an example of my first electric guitar. But after tickling the Google a bit, I'm not really finding what I'm looking for. It was a Hamer, their Explorer-type model. We rented it in either 1988 or 1989. I...

    Unique looking pickups

    I just stumbled across these pickups that I hadn't seen before, and thought it could be cool to see some more unique looking pickups. What comes to mind? These are from Righteous Sound Pickups

    A.I. generated content: share it here

    There deserves to be a thread for conversation about the ethics, morals, legalities, and capabilities of artificial intelligence... And to keep that thread focused on the conversation...here's a separate thread (quarantine) just to share stuff you convinced the electricity-haunted rocks, that...

    Packaging gear for shipping

    What are some of your best practices for packaging gear for shipping? Probably my best idea was when I shipped an amp head. I used plumbing insulation tubes to protect the long edges. They came with an adhesive strip along the cut length, so to be able to use that to keep it in place without...

    Guitars Built With Unconventional Materials

    There's a guy I've been following for a long while on IG who makes "quilted" carbon fiber panels, and this recent post from a guitar builder about a guitar using his material for the back and sides of an acoustic inspired this thread: Some photos of it: Here are a few other guitars that...

    Anyone have any experience with Baum Guitars?

    I think I got on their mailing list because of a social media giveaway or something like that, but really dig some of their designs, reminding me a little of Reverend and Guild a bit. I especially dig this "Wingman" model. It looks like (and I might be wrong) that they have a line of production...

    Boutique cables

    What are some of your favorite boutique cable brands? Do you find any of them have features/construction better than the higher end "mass produced" cables from Mogami, George L, etc or mid-tier Fender, Monster, etc? Have any of you gotten your hands on multiple boutique brands and been able to...

    NGD (yesterday): Kiesel A2...because everyone should have a purple guitar

    The finish: I was aiming for dark, and I knew there was a risk that it could be TOO dark, but this is goddamn perfect. It arrived the most in-tune of any guitar I've ever had shipped, despite this being the first trem-equipped guitar I've had shipped to me in 34 years of playing guitar...

    Do/would you baby a "relic'd" guitar?

    Only for those who do (or plan to) own a guitar with a purposefully-relic'd finish on an otherwise "new" guitar: Do or would you treat the guitar the same as you would as another pristine guitar of the same price? Or would you maybe be purposefully bit more reckless/careless with it in regards...

    Guitars as fine craft/art pieces

    Thought it might be cool to have a thread for some pics of guitars that are almost more "art" or "demonstration/showcase of fine craftsmanship" than a guitar. First up: lots of photos of this one here: https://www.instagram.com/johnpageguitars/?hl=en

    Japan, then Mexico/South Korea, then Indonesia, then China...who's next?

    Over the decades, at least in the US, there's always been importing "cheaper"-made versions of guitars. Then, as those nations start to improve their quality, they also increased their costs. Then, someone else comes in to fill in that lower-cost pricepoint. Then the same thing happens again and...

    In need of cheap-ish, wired, decent-ish sounding earbuds, with some sort of ambient sound pass-through (passive or active) and some sort of ear hook

    I think I need to figure out how to Google for earphone reviews from 2005, because every article these days is all about wireless. Even adding "wired" to my search terms just gives me articles shitting on olf-fashioned wired before getting to their wireless reviews, or reviews of wireless...

    Proton Guitars

    Anyone know anything about Proton Guitars? Stumbled across them on IG. Pretty ugly headstock, seems to be made in the US.
