So I’ve seen posts of people asking how to darken a fretboard. This weekend, I decided to buy a minwax wood stain pen and have a go at it myself. Overall, it turned out decent. I was hoping for darker, but the grain on this fretboard is super small, so 🎸

Yamaha APX-6C from the late 90s. Everything else on it checks out. https://imgur.com/a/pAeNQvd Is this worth 300 bucks? submitted by /u/smugglingcats [link] [comments]

I had never heard of the brand but I came across a really nice looking PRS style semi-hollow guitar on Facebook marketplace by Harley Benton. It’s $250 but I have no clue if that’s a good deal or not submitted by /u/Used_Eraser [link] [comments]

I have been listening to the same 5+ guitarists that I consider the greatest, for all my life (Paul Gilbert, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Joe Satriani, Steve Morse, some others) and just realized most of them are 60+ years of age. I’m turning 40 next month. Are there 🎸
