What Electric Guitar(S) Have The Best Tuning Stability?
Apr 12, 2015 · Luckily for me, all of my guitars are pretty well set up at this point. Even my Jazzmasters are super stable.

Not sure if it's my technique or not, but I have trouble keeping them ...
Optimal electric guitar body shapes for seated playing?

Best ES-339 Style & Size Guitars - The Gear Page
Feb 3, 2022 · These look pretty great. It sounds like it has a pretty thin neck, which is probably the main negative for me, but I could probably deal with it.
