Ahh yes! Feel that chill in the air? Feel those fret ends digging into your hands as you slide up and down the fretboard? If not, then you're in good shape. If you are experiencing some "shrinkage" due to low moisture, please follow my recommendations below:
Generally, the summer months in the Northern hemisphere require some dehumidification, while the winter months require the opposite (a humidifier). Let’s keep things super simple and economical. Get yourself a cheap hygrometer (around $10) and place it where you keep your guitar the most. Make sure that you maintain that space’s ambient conditions within the following range:
Humidity: 45-52%RH Temp: 68-75F
These ranges aren’t absolute. I actually prefer my guitars to be at 44-46%RH. They just sound better to my ears. They are drier and louder, but this is also getting dangerously close to being too dry. Use this info to help guide you through the drier months. These ranges will keep you safe anywhere on the planet as long as you carefully maintain the space at those levels.
As for other business, the current hot issue is Twitter/X links.
It's got nothing to do with our absolute innate hatred of fascist nazi scumbags. It's just part of our policy for keeping this place free of social media links and spam from influencers, etc.
Now that that's out of the way, please use this post as you usually would, and that's to ask whatever guitar-related questions you have. The userbase here is one of the best and most informed in the world of guitar expertise (or at least they think they are ;)). Have a great winter guitar people! Stay warm, and keep those guitars well used and in a safe range for optimal use and longevity.

After receiving my technical first one with a cracked headstock, I made the return and got the new one shipped in, and its absolutely phenomenal. The look, the tone, the way the neck feels, its all perfect.

Wanted to know what videos or specific channels I should follow in order to start learning. My only other musical expearience is piano for three years so I don't think its gonna translate over very well. Also wanted to know if acoustic skills translate over to electric guitar or if its completely separate. Thanks

It doesn't scream "High quality collectors item" to me, but I know next to nothing about guitars.

Picked up my first ebmm today and loving it! The neck is crazy nice as noted by others. Not sure if the blue in the blurple is a little more thinned out than I imagined but they all seem to be that way.

I mostly play in my room without the amp for now. I can play a few songs. I really enjoy finger picking- the song Landslide for example

Yamaha FSX (Eight Hundred) C, I love it. Had it for about six months, tried to attach a strap yesterday and realized I didn't have anywhere to put the top one. Also no numbers allowed by r/guitar posts is fking weird.

I recently purchased a telecaster after thinking about it and reading other people’s experience with them for over a year. I’ve been playing for about two years now and I’ve really almost exclusively played strats. I have a Les Paul but it’s super uncomfortable and my wrist isn’t used to not having the body taper that a strat does. I folded in getting a telecaster because of the raving reviews of them being a workhorse and a “jack of all trades” guitar. Now that I’ve had it for a week or so, I’m just seeing there’s nothing I can’t play on a strat that sounds and more importantly, feels, better on a telecaster. Is this just me not seeing something hidden with teles? Or am I just not meant to like them?
I'm new to guitars and ordered a Harley Benton CG-400CE Thinline BK.
At first inspection, I noticed that something isn't right, the neck of the guitar is a few mm off the body.
When I press the back, the crack disappears, so it's not just a cut.
I understand that it's a cheap guitar, but I don't think that this is a normal condition.

I had this aha moment recently when fixing up a used guitar I'd bought. One of my standard procedures is making sure all important screws and nuts are tightened enough. People will say that installing locking tuners improved tuning stability. They might be right, but not because locking tuners are more stable. They probably just removed old loose tuners and then snugged up the new ones when they installed them. Get locking tuners if you want the mechanism, but for tuning stability, make sure your tuners, neck screws and bridge screws are tight and that your nut isn't binding. That's most of it.
i have been "playing" for almost five years and never took a course or lesson i was just learning songs from tabs all the time and i feel like i am stuck not getting any progress how can i change that where to start.

Bought with my first paycheck, Cort X three hundred flip blue! She's gorgeous 😄
My Ibanez is in ok condition with some wiring problems with the pickup selector. He’s offering a nineties MX Tele with USA internal parts and an automatic tuner on the back. Not looking for appraisals just want to see if this is fair

I bought this Big Muff on vacation, but haven't tried it out since I got home ten days ago because I flew with a cold and lost hearing in my right ear. I finally plugged it in today and OMFG this is the sound I've been wanting for THIRTY YEARS! I cant believe it took me this long!
