What strings would yall recommend for that acoustic we bought? The strings it came with seem pretty janky. I would prefer no nylon.

Isn't it a classical style guitar?
I think you might want to stick with nylon.

Lol I know nothing about guitars and maybe nylon is good, its just the particular nylon strings on the guitar currently that suck.
StewMac order arrived!
Thank you Santa for the gift card!

Single ply pickguard... 1/10, WNB.
I know
I've read some reviews that recommend swapping the electronics out of this pickguard into the original because the one-ply doesn't fit well.
I'm going to see if I can find a pearloid replacement that will work.

What kind brand pickups, pots, cap, switch?
I think they are Golden Age. The StewMac house brand.
$77 for the whole loaded pickguard. Read a lot of reviews. It's supposed to be an upgrade over stock Squier electronics of this age/model.
It's not Gilmour or Texas Special or 57/62, but I wanted something to upgrade while I get experience working on a guitar.

I learned something new on the slide video. I'd never heard the cat call noise made with guitar. Pretty cool
Like Steve Miller does in The Joker?
Idk I can't stand Steve Miller
sacrilege! Steve Miller was an innovator and cool dude back in the day.G.I.Bro said:

If it came strung with nylon, keep using nylon. Putting steel strings on that guitar will tear it up. The neck isn't built for the tension steel strings create.Sea Speed said:

And the bridge might rip right off the top of the guitar.Slicer97 said:If it came strung with nylon, keep using nylon. Putting steel strings on that guitar will tear it up. The neck isn't built for the tension steel strings create.Sea Speed said:

Hoping this works
It's a beauty!
Love the snakeskin strap with a Charvel Strat! Satchel would approve.

Friend just shared an estate sale listing from these people. Supposedly in Houston.
Lots of odd guitars.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Interesting--he was either a collector/dealer or both of signed items.maroon barchetta said:

That Eagles Strat signed by Glen Frey, Don Felder, Don Henley, Timothy Schmit and Joe Walsh looks pretty cool. Not sure if someone would actually play that onstage or just keep it as a keepsake...
All the double neck guitars. Tons of signed sports merch too.
So if that was my grandpa or dad who died, I'd be pissed if that went up for auction. Or maybe there was even better stuff that was already claimed and this is the excess

I'm trying to liquidate my more expensive guitars and generally trying to cull my herd, but I couldn't resist grabbing this thing.
Back in the day Robin Guitars made The Artisan, which was an SG shaped axe that was built more like a Les Paul. Thicker body, binding, etc. I played one in Houston one time and thought it was cool, so I'd always wanted one. The other day I found this replica on Ebay and couldn't pass it up. Should be here Friday.

So the cord comes strait out the front. What is that other silver thingy above the volume tome knobs?

Pickup selector?
Used Strat at GC in Aggieland.
Checks off the maroon/Aggie box and the praise and worship graphics box.
Perfect for your praise band at your local Aggieland church!

I remember around 2002 or so there was a shop on University that would sell their "Aggie Special". It was a lefty strat stung right handed with an Aggie sticker on the pick guard. Can't remember what they wanted for that.
That would be ironic for my Satanic Metal Band just started

You would have to play it left-handed so the crosses are upside down.
This is from that same estate sale. To say the collection is all over the place is an understatement. I would not have guessed a framed Madonna thong would be among the items.
Yikes!!
I think this is either called eclectic, hoarder or a dealer of some sort. Maybe all three...

I did not look that deeply into the collection.
Who the hell was this guy?!
No idea
How does one even have room for that many guitars?
Although I know a guy that has 40+ hanging in his house and most of those are signed.

His last name Ring by any chance?
I followed the Facebook page posting it and they posted that Madonna pic. Seems like they're still sorting through it all.

No. Not the same guy.
This guy is currently debating whether to take his Mr. Big bass to the Mr. Big show tonight in Houston. Paul Gilbert is the only one in the band that has yet to sign it but supposedly won't be signing any outside merchandise at the meet and greet.
I told him he's going to end up lugging around a bass all night for nothing if he takes it.
