Sons of the Forest Guitar Not Spawning [FIXED]

In Sons of The Forest, survival is key, and finding unusual objects like guitars to use as weapons adds a unique twist. But there’s a prevalent issue where the guitar, a cool weapon, doesn’t spawn for players at the expected location. This problem arises due to bugs typical of early access games, causing quest items to glitch or not appear as intended.

Players encounter frustration when crucial items like the guitar fail to spawn, disrupting their gameplay. Fortunately, there are workarounds available to resolve this issue and ensure that these items, including the guitar, spawn correctly for a smoother gaming experience.

The Save & Reload Method

This is one of the most popular methods to spawn the guitar in the Sons of the Forest. Here’s what you need to do: 

1. When you’re in the restaurant area of the location > open your inventory > select a trap. 
2. Once you select it > drop the trap anywhere in the room > save the game. You can create a separate file if you like just to be safe. 
3. Once you save your game > exit to the main menu > then load back into the save you created just now. 
4. As you load into the > go to the bar area of the restaurant in that room and you’ll see the guitar lying on the counter. 

This is one of the quickest ways you can fix the issue of the Sons of The Forest guitar not spawning. This has worked well for me and almost everyone in the community. However, if it doesn’t work for you, check out other fixes below. 

Revisiting The Location

If the save and reload method didn’t work out for you, you can try another popular fix for the Sons of The Forest guitar not spawning problem. Just do as follows:

1. Exit the location > go to your settlement. The farther you go the better to let things reset over here. 
2. Once you settle > sleep > Wake up the next day. 
3. As you wake up > revisit the location > the guitar will spawn on the countertop at the bar. 

This method is also quite effective as it resets the restaurant area letting things spawn back in if they didn’t on the first go. You may need to do this method a few times for it to work but this will surely work for you. 

Visit The Location with Friends

Try to team up with your buddies and visit the restaurant location. If the guitar isn’t spawning for you, maybe it’ll spawn for your buddies. Here’s how to do this method. 

1. Make sure to team up with your buddies away from the guitar location; most preferably in a settlement. 
2. Once your friends join your party > head out to the guitar location together. 
3. As you reach the location, even if the guitar doesn’t spawn for you, there’s a high chance it’ll spawn for your buddies. 
4. After one of your friends picks up the guitar, they can easily share it with you via the item trade system in Sons of The Forest. 

If you’re like me and you ain’t got friends…yeah…life’s hard…then you can also do a similar method with randoms too. You can hop into the Sons of Forest official discord and team up with people and let them help you acquire the guitar.
