Author: I have had my electric guitar for 5 years now. Recently it sounded awful and I put new strings on. Well, when i play rock acoustic songs, it sounds fine, but the amp hasn’t sounded good here recently. Is it about time to buy a new amp or is 5 years not long enough for amps to start messing up?
I have an ARCHER electric guitar and a JOHNSON amp.
I say it’s time to get a new amp. You say yourself the guitar sounds fine when it’s acoustic. Acoustic means not using the amp. Yet when you use the amp, that’s when it sounds bad. So you definitely need a new amp. 5 years is long enough. I bet if you get a new amp it will sound as good as new.

it’s probably the amp rather than the guitar. it depends on what settings you’ve had it on and how loud/frequently you’ve been using it. these things will affect sound quality and it could be time to get a new amp. also check out Always Searching, they’re really good- they’re kind of a metal band but the singer is in musical theatre, it’s unique but people who like all different types of music love them. Hope I helped!
