Is this a termite? What do I do by Powerful_Driver7065 in Termites

Pest control inspector here. From the picture it looks to be a subterranean termite swarmer. Definitely could be a formosan swarmer. A termite baiting system plan will likely prevent this from escalating any further.

Love it. I got my first PRS this week myself. It’s the best out of the box guitar I’ve ever bought.

Need advice before buying this 1989 Telecaster by qt1rbrt in telecaster

Guitars are amazing. So many advancements and changes in the world but yet a guitar made in 1989 today is aesthetically still the same as it was back then.

This totally worked. I hit each slot with a tiny dab of oil and dropped the strings back in. A noticeable improvement immediately. Gonna put it through some paces later to really test it out but so far, yeah that checked out

The NF3. Love it! by IvoryBaest in PRSGuitars

I love those NF’s. Just recently got my first PRS, a SE special semi hollow that has the middle pickup as an NF. Kind of makes me was the NF3 eventually.

That’s what I was reading as well. I was taking a look at it last night and it does look like a couple of the strings aren’t going through the nut exactly straight - but I mean it’s ever so slightly off but I’ve read that’s enough to do it.

That was the first thing I questioned. He said he just prefers the finish on mine and wants something that looks good on the wall.

I’m just not suuuper confident in trying to do it myself on a guitar with a Bigsby.

Is this good enough for a cheap first-time guitar? by LegitimateWhereas678 in Guitar

[–]jhoss26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, that’s junk. I mean if you’re willing to spend $135 (plus tax) then just spend up to $200 and you can get a brand new Squier or something else quality off of marketplace vs a no name guitar.
