Been looking at possibly getting an ebow and suddenly remembered I used to have one quite some time ago, can't find it nor remember what happened to it though.

Seen there are a few alternatives these days. The TC Aeon doesn't seem to be quite what I'm after but the Joyo infinite sustainer or sound stone look suitable alternatives.

Anyone got any experience with these or I am better off sticking with an ebow?

Learning guitar, some days are really bad, like every chord change is a stinker. Then you get days where everything just falls into place. Yesterday, my fingers were like sausages. Today, the opposite—a magical transformation! I’m even hitting my enemy the G chord properly! 😀

Can anyone recommend a good exercise to maintain finger position (and adjust to changing fret width) when sliding barre and power chords along the neck?

This chord is my enemy. The image shows G fretted with the first, middle and ring fingers. It feels more natural to me to use the middle, ring and little fingers. But however I do it, my fingertips miss or slip off the strings. It’s driving me crazy. What can I do but practice, practice, practice?

I picked up this electro-acoustic guitar, the action is way too high and I naively thought could sort it with a truss rod adjustment.

When I did proper research it appears to need a neck reset which I've put off because I suspect the neck is glued as well as bolted and my woodworking skills are negligible.

However, seen another one for sale today that looks nearly identical so wondering if it's a common problem with age or just how they were made.
