Does my cheap-ass guitar need those metal things holding the strings down at the top of the guitar Bros?

almost every guitar has that OP
Leo Foster
Oh ok thanks
Juan Peterson
why would every guitar have the same OP?
Liam Watson
Nope, glue the strings in place then remove them, they make you look like a beginner.

The machineheads that hold down the strings to the tuning pegs? Yes you need those.
Logan Hernandez
That's fuckin odd, isn't it. How does that work?. Something to do with magnets or witchery?
Caleb Cooper

Hey Yngwie

Can you share some of your gnarliest ones?
Jackson Watson
Mate, I'd fuckin love To, but what with streaming and album sales down, I need all the bucks I can get so you'll just have to do the same as Tommi ( Iommi) and buy one. Sorry, but there are some cracking 'cakes in there. Hetfields favorite is on page 37.
Blake Scott
I assume you mean the two ‘M’ shaped pieces? Those are string retainers and they’re there to increase the angle of the string at the nut to avoid buzzing. You might get away with not having them if your guitar has a properly filed nut, but seeing as how it’s cheap it probably doesn’t. Sorry to ruin the fun

Depends on what sound, play style, personal preference, etc., but if you’re looking for an upgrade to something better but not break the bank I’d recommend a mexican fender or maybe a mid level prs. Look on kijiji or other classifieds, you can regularly find used guitars in good shape well below msrp, although some brands and specific gear retain value more than others. Not sure about their guitars but godin makes good basses that can be found second hand for dirt cheap
Zachary Miller
Elaborate?
Gavin Edwards
Yea man those are gonna keep the strings from popping out of the nut. Also by removing them you’re going to change the string length and will fuck up the intonation.
Nolan Long
You don't 'need' them but they're not a bad thing, they help keep tension on the strings on the long run from the nut to the tuners, tends to help stop buzzing over the nut.
Leave them be, they ain't hurting anyone.
Juan Foster
Thank you
Ian Murphy
Thank you
Jonathan Gutierrez
Thank you bro

Along the same lines of not breaking the bank... Epiphone Les Paul's should never be left out of the picture. You have to play them though as part of the reason they're a quarter of the price of Gibsons is the inconsistency in quality. They're all decent, but play 20 or 30 and you'll find that cherry.
