We need more active/new members in this community. SixString themselves put more posts on the feed than the few actual SixStringers this place was meant for. What can be done about that I wonder. Any suggestions anyone ?

Hello everyone. I just would like to ask you all a question. I am 1.5 years into my rhythm guitar journey. I only have an off-brand acoustic that I tune down to Drop C#. At some point, I am wanting to buy an electric that also comes with an amp. What would you all recommend for an entry level electric for me that is not so pricey? Thank you…

Surprisingly enough, nobody tried (or at least, documented) this simple and straightforward mod on Danelectros: a Free-Way toggle switch allowing for seris/parallel pickup engagement, desptite the 4-position switch being a fairly common upgrade on Telecasters.

The “quack” is there, even with lipstick pickups.
