"I can't get that guitar in my country"
Something that genuinely makes me feel bad is whenever I feature a guitar - especially one that I own personally - and get a comment on this blog or my YouTube channel from a fan that says, "I like the guitar you're playing, but I can't get it in my country."
It was either this past week or the week before that I was working on something in my place and I heard a loud THWAP! outside, and then heard a vehicle driving off. So I go outside and in front of my front door...
Recently I bought two guitars, the Fender Modern Player Stratocaster HSS and the Epiphone Les Paul Special I P90. Both guitars were selling for discounted prices when I bought them, and as of now they've both gone back up in price.
A common belief that every guitar should have the action (which in general terms means the string height) set as low as you can get it without fret buzz.
The logo on a guitar's headstock (or pegboard in Fender vernacular) matters to me; these are a few of my favorites and I'll explain why I like them.
