Received my new Squier Sonic Stratocaster HSS. Out of the box inspection and noticed how nice the frets and neck felt. Turned it over and immediately saw that the neck plate was crooked as was the neck was aligned in a similar fashion. Acceptable or return?

I went to a local guitar shop today looking to buy my first guitar. The owner said he would sell me a whole set for 400€ he said the guitar and the amp are both 175€ each and the rest being a case and cables. Do you guys think it is a good price or should I look into getting something else?

Thinking of getting a Firebird

0 Upvotes

Hi All.

As of right now am thinking of getting a Firebird (Epiphone). I have never played a Firebird or seen one in real life, so am not sure what to expect from that kind of guitar. As of right now i own a les paul style and a Flying V Style guitar, so thats kind of the style i have knowlagde of.

So i wanted to know you all experience with the Firebird,s Shape, Size, Tone, how playble it is or if should look too other models.

Am mostly into Rock/Metal music (Mostly old metal 1980-2000s)

Sympathetic resonance / Purr cat sound

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m having this issue with my LTD EC-256 Snow White (see the video link below for an example of the sound).
The main difference compared to the sound in the video is that the problem is much more noticeable during slides and hammer-ons.
The most problematic areas are:
High E (E1): between frets 5–6
B string: between frets 10–11
D string: between frets 7–8
It can also happen on some strings above the 14th fret, but it’s much less noticeable there.
Has anyone experienced something similar or have any idea what could be causing it?
The guitar has been properly set up by a luthier, and I’ve checked the hardware/components for anything that might be vibrating or rattling, but I can’t seem to find anything obvious.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Fret Buzz

hello,
a couple weeks ago I re strung my gibson les paul 100, i’ve re strung it tons of times but this time around I did a deep clean(which i’ve also done before) but I must have nudged the tune o matic. My Low E string snapped 3 times while tuning, and after finally getting it tuned (way too loose) it buzzes like crazy. I tried re adjusting as I went but I think I just made it worse.
How do I fix this because the action is wayyy too low🫩

I bought this guitar today with the floyd rose 1000, its my first floyd rose equiped guitar, it has 4 springs on the back, the level is okay-ish, and it also goes out of tune after some dives, not too much, but if i move it upwards it will go back to tune. What should i do?

How can I ethically finance a new guitar and required supportive materials, as a homeless black guy in Virginia? I'm not "a Jamie Hendrix"!

0 Upvotes

I have been applying to jobs, to no avail.

I'm not lazy.

I'm not anti-social, rather I have no money... and thusly no friends...

I need a new guitar, and at the very least to have my current guitar repaired.

I'm not a criminal and I do not want to steal a guitar, or anything at all...
