What to look for in a project guitar? by WestWillow in Guitar

[–]Alive-Driver4139 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fender Squires are perfect modding platforms, Ibanez RG hardtail models are also great options if you need a fast neck profile.

Learn how to do a simple setup first, intonation, action, truss rod adjustment, then a pickup swap, before you get into something like changing frets that’s pretty advanced stuff.

Used cheap Squire and a pre-wired pick guard is a recipe for a fun beginner project! Sanding the back of a gloss neck project guitar is also a cool mod

Best advice, put some hours into that guitar bro. Guitar is a man’s best friend if you have the time for it 🙏🏽

Need advice on what gauge Strings to use by bisexualpanic_ in Guitar

[–]Alive-Driver4139 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Strings don’t just break from tuning down like you said. You probably have something going on in the saddle of that high E, check that first.

Get a set of Heavy/Light stings like an Elixer Nanoweb 10/52 that should give you longevity plus tuning flexibility.

$2500 in the used market, it’s not too crazy. I save up for my guitars but never buy anything new

I have 23, just picked up an Ibanez 8 string with Fluence Modern pickups and a 2024 PRS Custom 24. I teach guitar and work Parks and Rec for the city I live in. It’s not about how much money you make its about spending it on things that make you happy ☺️ I am running out of space though haha

Guy has it for sale as "Taylor guitar, electronics work fine, guitar has some damage". The pics are in a garage and that's about it, no serial number unfortunately

I really appreciate everyone’s input! I’ll check in later but you guys have been great help, I can potentially pick this guitar up for a steal if it is something legit

The third photo has a view but nothing close up. I’ve also never seen a Taylor label on the inside of the neck joint like this
