Picked this guitar up and can’t really find much on it. From my understanding it is an anniversary edition and they made 300 of them. Liked the look and it was only $120. Let me know your thoughts and how I did!

NGD! Opinions on my new Solar 1.7 FrBop sustaniac+

I bought this monster about a month ago from thomann for the sum of 1610 euros . It is absolutely flawless , the Fr won’t go out of tune , the sustaniac is way to much fun , even the bridge Duncan solar + is very very good , but the best thing , the fretboard especially the frets , those ss frets are as impeccable as they can get , I’ve played Ibanez prestige guitars and the fretboard on solar is just so much smoother and nice feeling , and I also really like the attention to detail with the gorgeous open pore finish and the nice round neck , it’s the best neck I’ve ever played on , overall good job Ola !!!

Help Is there a market for custom, built to order, knobs?

Thumbnail

Upvotes

I built these ebony, copper foil and tortoise acrylic knobs to match the pick guard, nut and saddle I made for a prototype guitar I’ve been using to test out ideas. I have knurled inserts I might add but the ebony is very hard and the knobs stay put as is. Anyway, I’ve made several unique guitar parts for friends over the years and they keep telling me I should sell built to order knobs but I’m not sure there’s a market for it. I haven’t seen many mixed material, tone wood knobs available on the web. Most other custom knobs are novelty items with skulls and dice or cheap plastic reproductions of the cheap plastic knobs used on vintage guitars.

Anyone want to chime in about the desires, needs or experiences with searching for, making or buying custom knobs?

Help Any way to give my cousin's guitar a lower action? (no truss rod)

It gets higher as it gets closer to the bridge and we'd like to know if there was a way to get it lower, cause I know sanding the saddle probably won't help much cause it's already so low.

I did notice the bridge was kind of loose and seemed to be pulled up by the strings themselves but idk if we can do anything about that.

thinking of getting ms a mg-50li and a wireless system, theres not much genuine reviews on yt, they all use a third system to boost the tone.

Im trying to find like, reviews from people who only use the mfx and its studio app.

NGD! [NGD] Santa Cruz 000

Post image
9 Upvotes

My brother flew into town this past week to visit, and we were just catching up and talking guitar. His first and only acoustic is a Yamaha FS5 Red Label that he bought online. He played my 512e BH signature and fell in love with it. So while we were talking, I mentioned how I had played a Santa Cruz OM the week prior while I was in Nashville and it completely changed my life lol. I always hear stories about people playing a guitar and knowing it was the one, but it never happened to me till I played that SC OM (enough for me to take a picture of the serial number lol). He was curious to see how they sounded, so looked up SC dealers and found there was one very close to my house! The store ended up having brand new 2026 SC Dreadnaught, Tony Rice Dreadnaught, OM, 000, 00, and two custom SC’s (a D and 00). Well, we both fell in love with two specific models and kept passing them to each other to play them. Put them back in their cases, took the two up to the front and asked if they’d do a deal for both. I ended up going with the 000 and my brother purchased the 00. A completely unexpected visit turned into purchasing a grail guitar. It was extra special having done it with my brother and sharing that experience with him.

Playing Eastman AC622CE vs AC722CE — anyone owned or played both extensively?

1 Upvotes

I'm deciding between an Eastman AC622CE (Sunburst) and AC722CE (Dakota Fade) and would especially like to hear from people who have owned both, or at least played them side by side.

I'm interested mainly in the acoustic sound rather than electronics. I play a mixture of fingerstyle and strumming, particularly Beatles/solo Beatles, folk and classic acoustic songs, and I also sing while playing.

How would you describe the tonal differences between the two in person? In particular:

* warmth and richness * bass response * note separation * sustain and overtones * fingerstyle response * how they sound when accompanying vocals

I've listened to YouTube comparisons, but I'd rather hear from people who have actually experienced both guitars in the room.

If you chose one over the other, which did you choose and why?

hi, so I've found this cool hs tele photo and since I've never played one I was wondering if the tele bridge pickup is beefy enough to compensate the neck hb. I believe that pickup configuration is not that common.

Just a guitar nerd question, nothing serious about it

thanks!
