NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Be good to see you back in NZ Brian! If you came back, where would you live? We're looking at North Canterbury/ Rangiora. This news keeps getting better and better! We're gonna buy a house next to yours bro and devalue the neighborhood with pro Trump signs! Just kidding, politicians are all rubbish...

Thought you were loving it? Bring all the pawn shop guitars you can find It's all good here but it's my wife's home, not mine. She's now finally realized that NZ feels more like home to her than here. We've got a whole shipping container to fill so I'll definitely be looking for some cheapies to br...

IMG_20240110_163108.jpg My total amount of pedals. 23. I don't really consider myself a pedal guy. Obviously a tuner is really useful but an appropriately gained out amp with guitar volume pot clean would work for most situations. I've got doubles here in function so I really should just make a sec...

Same board for 12 months ….. can’t be anyone on here ?!?!? Right….? Certainly not me, mine barely lasts 12 minutes before changing something... IMG_20240109_213240.jpg I've just realized I've been playing pretty much the same board since 2015! I had a Redwitch Fuzz God on there which I swapped over...

Mustang is actually a bit longer overall than a Strat, despite being a shorter scale length, though probably a little narrower overall. http://i.imgur.com/5krjn.jpg I’ve never really understood those who say a Mustang feels small, but then I’m a slim tall boy, not a beefcake. As a long time Mustang...

Who knew about this feature in the gruv gear fret wraps? What do those things do? I see them on djenty style guitars and still have no idea what they are. Bridge side of the nut you use them for tapping and sweeping to stop the other strings ringing and to make the notes of the ones you are tapping...

I’m still waiting for the post where you picked up A 50s LP Junior with a repaired neck for $300 or something similar. Hows Craigslist finds in your area? They're not great. There was a 1950s Fender Musicmaster tweed case for $50 that I missed out on. I did grab a 1960s, all mahogany ukulele for $1...

Awww, c'mon Beeg! It's only a Squier!

I just grabbed this interesting cheapie at a local pawn shop; IMG_20231221_085041.jpg It's called a 'Squier Deluxe Hot Rails Stratocaster'. Made in Indonesia, 3 Duncan Designed hot rails pickups, 2 point trem, full thickness basswood body, 22 jumbo frets on a neck with a big headstock. It's not a ba...
