Hydra19

i personally think there a better guitars out there than fender and gibsons, but even though they are cheaper they are still not cheap. Anyway, i lucked out in getting a really high quality guitar for cheap. It cost around £3k new, but i got it for less than 900. After that, I made sure I improved my playing and was worthy of such a guitar, I started learning stuff off youtube. 2 months later I was in a band playing lead guitar with that guitar. I have played since I was 13 but getting a really good hihg quality guitar really made me kick my own ass to learn how to play it and be worthy of it

i'd go for a used yamaha. just make sure the action is not too high as that might indicate it needs a neck reset which costs more than the guitar itself. I've had a few FG's over the years and still have a FG335 or something like that, looks great. sounds massive and cost 180

i've been obsessed with strats recently, and it's funny because 10 years ago I had a bunch of Mosrites and swore I'd never have a Strat. Now I have so many of them, I'm always selling them off. Maybe it's because i had a stratocaster growing up, so it does feel comfortable tp play. What I like about them is there is so much scope to set it up to your own personal playing experience, from the tremolo springs, to the screws on the 6-point bridge and action. relief and strings, as well as pickups. I find my own comfort space is with the tremolo slightly blocked, I don't use it much and want the gutiar to stay in tune. But of course I tinker and try all kinds of things. I found a video of Hendrix where he definitely has his tremolo floating, so I set one up like that, and then tuned it down to D standard, now that Strat plays amazing and sounds so much bluesier and better. I love Stratocaster, but I think I love Telecasters even more. Anyway, I always wanted a green strat, and finally I found a green body, now I'm waiting for the right neck to come along. Over the last 5 years, I probably had 10 strats that I sold, mostly japanese - Navigator, Crews Maniac, Seymour Duncan, Tokai....All good./ Now I'm trying to cut down to one or two really nice Strats! Favorite colors are metallic green and 3TS

I had a block that was non-magnetic so it wasn't steel. not sure what it was but it sounded good, only after researching did i find out it didn't have a steel block and I added one. I did notice a bit of a brigther sound, but nothing drastic and it didn't change the voice of the guitar too much but it was an improvent to my ears

Greeting everyone, glad I found this place! I'm a guitarist who's started playing bass as well around 3 years ago and I really enjoy both instruments. I do my own setups, repairs and part exchanges so am often selling parts off to buy new ones! I'm looking forward to sharing knowledge and tips about guitars, setups, pickups and pedals!

I got this from Japan brand new but have since moved home and have bigger bills so am selling a few of my guitars. This one is brand new from Japan, comes all original and stock. I do have the back cover as well as the fender gigbag it came in.
