Any of you ever make any d'jent sticks/guitars? Been thinking about picking up some bubinga wood and making one of these.

From a musical standpoint, the guitar work alright. The melody sits within the chords and only a couple of technique issues appear throughout the piece.
Now from a writing perspective, kinda boring. The melody and the chord changes are really safe. The best way to get away from that is to just really play and experiment. It also helps just to youtube musicians that talk about how they compose melodies.
From a production standpoint, thumbs down. The rhythm guitar sets right at the speaker. This creates an unnatural sound that just becomes grating after more than 15 seconds. Adding just a hair of reverb will help and won't take away the "intimate" sound your getting at. The rhythm guitar is up way too loud. Pulling it back will allow the melodies positive qualities to standout. The melody and the rhythm guitar have a really similar guitar tone. This causes the parts to blend together. So as a producer a couple of tools that can be used to improve severation is your mixers panning knob, careful use of you reverb, and varying the eq of each part. I could keep going but that should keep you busy.
I should point out I'm assuming you want to write rock/pop music.
