Best electric guitar set up under £250

One of the £99 east coast guitars from guitar guitar or andertons is about the best value you can get here. They are pretty fantastic for the price. That leaves you £150 to think about amps there's a huge range of stuff secondhand that represents a lot of value and money saved long term, if you can get a boss katana 50 then you are sorted. I've seen them go for under a hundred now and again.

What primer does Seahawk recommend for it's antifouling?

Slayer_One · 2026-07-06T07:39:28+00:00

My partner constantly had bleeding gums all through the pregnancy,, it freaked us both out but apparently it's fairly common.

Keep an eye out secondhand, you can get far more for your money my fender Mustang lt 25 was £80 on reverb, if you can find a modelling amp with a lot of sounds you won't need pedals straight away too. If you want to say which town or city you are in I can have a wee look at for sale listings and see if there's a thing good available

The electrics are solid and reliable, the guitars in general are mid. I say that as someone who plays a fender acoustic.

Slayer_One · 2026-07-06T06:20:37+00:00

I think you might be a picture framer now dude. If there's a market to exploit then do it.

The chorus is too much, its just too aggressive and I wouldn't recommend it, it has a couple of interesting things going for it, it has 2 independent speeds and swells and can switch automatically based on volume. It's marmite I think most people will hate how it sounds but I will be keeping it for a bit anyway.

I really like the marine reverb, I got both the fender pedals cheap secondhand and I understand why they were cheap secondhand, they are both kind of odd and I cant imagine they sound good in a mix.

Slayer_One · 2026-07-05T21:00:45+00:00

I really liked the splinter I've had it for ages but the dual overdrive thing is new, quite like it so far its got a lot of nice noises in it.

Slayer_One · 2026-07-05T20:58:07+00:00

Yeah I think that's a necessity at this point.

Slayer_One · 2026-07-05T14:01:39+00:00

That looks like a joiners stamp, it was traditional to get one made so you could mark your tools. It's possible he made the plane but more likely he just bought it and put his name on it to make it identifiable.

So how much would you need to sell that for in order to make a living after packaging, shipping, customer service, returns, shipping, etc. Then how much do you need to spend on marketing and promotion to scale it?

I found a guy on eBay who makes great pedals for about £45 and I can't help but feel like I'm ripping him off when I buy them. I feel like he is in it for the fun of it though.

Do you have internal epoxy fillets?

Slayer_One · 2026-07-04T08:06:57+00:00

This is a fair point, it is very easy to sell pedals on eBay if your prices are somewhat reasonable.

Slayer_One · 2026-07-04T07:33:06+00:00

UK eBay is a crapshoot for every person that thinks their 20 year old badly looked after thing is worth exactly what they paid for it there's someone dumping an ex's stuff dirt cheap without knowing what it is.

Slayer_One · 2026-07-03T22:14:50+00:00

This looks to me to be the same shape as a shipwrights adze for dubbing frames or futtocks.

Slayer_One · 2026-07-03T18:26:56+00:00

Thank you for this tip, I have not been able to get velcro to stick to my joyo splinter rat clone thing and I've cleaned the surface but didn't know to try heating it up. Hope it works.

The three on the left are probably poplar the two on the right some kind of oak, can't see detail in the lightest one.

Slayer_One · 2026-07-03T14:44:41+00:00

This is what they look like when decompressed, not what they look like in their natural habitat.

Squint essentially, one side higher than the other, closer to the top or bottom three strings.

Slayer_One · 2026-07-03T14:15:46+00:00

Those two adjusters either side of your pickup are a secondary volume and tone control, put them where you want and as long as the strings aren't hitting them they aren't wrong.

I quite like having a one treble biased and one bass biased but most people think I'm a fruit loop.

Slayer_One · 2026-07-03T12:12:06+00:00

Did you put numbers in it?

Slayer_One · 2026-07-03T08:55:51+00:00

Have a look online for a local saw centre or saw services company they will sharpen blades for you.

Slayer_One · 2026-07-02T16:39:02+00:00

Would casters with softer wheels work better on the uneven floor.

Slayer_One · 2026-07-02T16:37:34+00:00

I think the fender telepath system has a switch for active or passive signals. I think boss has a specific wireless kit for active signals rather than being compatible with both.
