Eddie Van Halen, a rare guitar hero who pierces the heart of the laid-back generation... Let's reconsider the appeal of this great revolutionary.

2020 Buyer's Guide to Thin Electric Guitars for Electric Guitarists

However, many people who have only played electric guitars until now may not know how to choose this type of guitar. We will introduce recommended models, focusing on thin-body electric gut guitars that can be played without any discomfort even when switching from an electric guitar.

However, the storage space runs out, their family members are unkind to them, and there is not much time left in life. If you suddenly died now, have you ever thought about what would happen to the guitar you left behind? What can you do while you are alive to pass on your precious guitar to the next generation? What can you do to ensure that your family members are not at a loss? I would like to seriously consider these questions by interviewing music store staff, musicians, collectors, and bereaved families. After all, you can't take your guitar to the grave.
