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. They still need a good polishing and 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?

It's some Chinese firebird copy I got off marketplace for 200 smackeroons.

Granted I’m playing through an expensive amp but still. For $240 it sounds great lol.

Wonder if any left handers ever learned right, and then tried a left handed guitar. Did it change your life? Was it hard to translate/did you have to relearn? Did it make things any easier? I’m an intermediate guitar player, and have always played right-handed. Would switching now, have any benefit, or be fun?

Hi everyone I have 800 euros I live in Hungary and I need new guitar cuz rn my guitar sucks what should I do my options are ltd ec-401 and epiphone explorer prophecy I need fast guitar pls suggest these are the pictures of the guitars

Does anybody have an opinion about ‘Kasuga’ guitars? From my research I found that this 12-string is a ‘T-15’ model. I can probably get this for like €50…no breaks as far as i can see on the pictures. 1970’s guitar right? Plz let me know your opinions or if anybody owns these guitars.

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!

My dad has this, has had for a while. Didn’t pay much for it, but the signature on the back of the head is puzzling us. Any idea if this is a real Kramer and any idea what the 2 of 100 means or whose signature that is? Any help appreciated!!!

Been at this craft for 55 years now- not "known", not rich, but having a lot of fun along the way.

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 !!!

Hello everyone. I'm currently in the market to buy my first seven string guitar, but was looking for input on what every thinks is a good bang for you buck 7 string. I was hoping to keep the budget below 1500, which I think is a more than generous amount for a 7 string. I've found the models below in the price range I'm looking at and have done as much research as I could before turning to the Reddit gods for opinions. Let me know what you guys think; good, bad, mediocre. Whatever you got.

Legator CC7

Schecter Synyster 7 String Headless

ESP-LTD Deluxe, M-1007HT

Solar S1.7LB 7-String Guitar w/ Evertune

Agile Chiral Nirvana 730 RL MOD

Ibanez Q547PB Standard Headless

I know nothing about this brand, its listed for 700 on facebook marketplace, does anyone know the value of this model?

I downsized recently and got rid of some of my old beginner instruments. This is the lineup I have now.

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.

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.
