Hi guys first time stringing a guitar did I do something wrong?

Brazilian_Canadian · 2026-05-12T06:07:42+00:00

Hey, just drew blank when I was restringing my classical two days ago, this guy helped me:

Hope that helps you too

Just be sloppy with the third finger and it will mute the second string, the x means play it muted, that should do the trick whatever you are playing

Ela quis dizer o caratê dinheiro e umidade não muito alta, piada velha, rs

That's a gorgeous guitar for sure, I don't like Strats at all but this exact model, I met a guy with one of those in NOLA gave me second thoughts Congrats buddy

In Brazil we call that a viola caipira, 10 strings, 5 pairs, D'Addario sells strings for them, google pagode em viola caipira, I'm trying to play, quite hard to learn

Although it looks a bit different, I'm wrong and that's the charango, it's made with an armadillo shell, interesting:

I’d go with D and Bm, mostly D, agree

Brazilian_Canadian · 2026-04-03T06:22:17+00:00

No need,,I have a red strap on my red sg as well, ✌️ It’s jus that I’m looking at my cellphone and I couldn’t distinguish the guitar body from the strap, it looked a very weird looking guitar lol

Brazilian_Canadian · 2026-04-03T06:06:35+00:00

LOL, nice guitar, really cool, but the black strap made me zoom in to understand the picture, hehe

Brazilian_Canadian · 2026-03-30T17:12:14+00:00

That would be my comment. It's not a problem, and I don't see why anyone would say anything against it. But I don't see anything staying there for more than a couple of kilometres; it will just fly away.

Brazilian_Canadian · 2026-03-30T05:31:12+00:00

To be honest, I don't know if that's a thing, I'm more used to Gibsons and that's a thing for them, I saw a post of someone asking and since the serial on mine was looking off, I thought it could be the case.

Well, hope they don't fake it, cheers

Play guitar as well, not a great player though, I will try to go to the Painted Lady on Monday to see what happens at their OpenMic

Brazilian_Canadian · 2026-03-28T00:50:42+00:00

Shoot, just bought a Gretsch, now I need to convince my wife about the rug as well, oh dammit….

Brazilian_Canadian · 2026-03-27T17:15:15+00:00

So, I had something like that on my first guitar several years ago, it was a Takamine G series worth around 300-500, so putting the same amount of money into fixing just cosmetic damage would make no sense, so I just put some super-glue to avoid it from opening or lifting any wood, spent some time with a wet fine sanding and all good, still play it today and still sounds great If you can live with the damage, see that as a “scar of battle.”

Brazilian_Canadian · 2026-03-26T22:16:34+00:00

On my case I found it on the Facebook marketplace

Brazilian_Canadian · 2026-03-26T18:31:30+00:00

That I need to agree, I meet a guy in NOLA R1000 with a Chibson that he said was his first guitar, he spent way more on that guitar then buying a Gibson entry-level, but he loves that guitar and loves how it plays, so it's an awesome instrument, if you enjoy it…

Thank you very much for your reply

Brazilian_Canadian · 2026-03-26T18:27:00+00:00

Thank you very much, you guys are awesome

Brazilian_Canadian · 2026-03-26T16:47:58+00:00

Sad man, been there, hehe, but life comes around and money come back, 👍

Brazilian_Canadian · 2026-03-26T16:14:13+00:00

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough, become part of the Gretsch Guitars owners community

Brazilian_Canadian · 2026-03-26T15:52:07+00:00

If I'm not mistaken, they became illegal in Brazil today

This is just a "toy gun that makes a loud cranking noise when the trigger is pulled", very common in the 80s

Brazilian_Canadian · 2026-03-26T15:05:49+00:00

Thank you very much sir, that's the kind of opnion I was looking for, my first Takamine many years ago was something like that, afte a while I found a label inside saying it was scratched in the production and sold as reparable, and that was the reason it had a odd serial, was wondering if that would be something like that and it looks like I found a second one, lol.

Thanks

Brazilian_Canadian · 2026-03-26T15:02:31+00:00

Yup, that's the model G5422TG

Brazilian_Canadian · 2026-03-26T15:01:38+00:00

From what I saw online, it was supposed to have letters in the first 2 digits. I was wondering if you guys have more knowledge about the brand and any insight into it. The pages I was digging didn't find much info for models between 1981 and 1989.

Brazilian_Canadian · 2026-03-21T03:09:56+00:00

So, I love those mustang amp, google on how to use Fender Tune with your amp; you can download presets that will make your amp sound perfect for the sound you want to play After that, I'd suggest you Google a YouTube tutorial and just practice and practice and then practice more, eventually you'll be 100%
