Dear Pactric;

Everyone who uses a Floyd has to learn how to set up a floating bridge. Don't give up. Search for the topic KAHLER TUNER ON CARVIN answered by mike, 10/16/00.

This responce does not address bridge set up, but it is the place to start learning the secrets of tuning this bridge.

I you need more specific directions send me an e mail.

: I like to play rock, hard rock, metal and clean stuff. What would be a good guitar that fits those styles (nothing with a floyd)

Hey Mike whats your budget? There are lots of great guitars out there so I can only give you my opinion.
I have been playing Carvin guitars for 15 years,the first one I bought used and the second two I bought new.. I also have a 1983 Fender American Strat that I bought used a couple of years ago. And I bought and sold a Gibson Les Paul Custom after I played it against the Carvins. I like to see some bang for my buck and you can buy a nicely adorned carvin thats made in America and is consistantly rated high by the guitar magazines as far as value ,tone, and worksmanship. They are great for Rock,Industrialstrength metal,Jazz and blues. I havent found anything that mine couldnt do well for alot less money than alot of brand name axes.
I love my strat but its just not versital enough for my band. Mine has three single coils so I'm shure if you got one with a humbucker (for rock) you would probably be fine. The Les Paul looked great but was to heavy and didn't sound as good as my Carvins yet lots of folks lovem. They are pretty much the International symbol for Rock. If I could have my pick of expensive guitars right now I would probably buy a Tom Anderson next they are versital and well made but expensive. If I were you I would check out Harmony Central guitar section and read some reviews.Also Check out Carvin Customshop and check out their goodies They are a Mail order company but dont let that bother you You can try the guitar out for ten days and if you no like send it back!

: i need to know how to accurately check if the intonation is correct on my sg

The best thing to do is take your guitar to a guitar tech with a scope and let him set it up. Most guitar shops have someone they use and it doesn't cost much.

: I say if you're having a real hard time with sweat eatin' up your strings, try some stainless steel strings. I hate changing strings and at one time I had too many guitars. The stainless strings, (ovation brand) lasted on my Guild Starfire 5, for four years of intermitent play. They don't sound as good as new regular steel strings, kinda' toned down a bit, but they don't get worse over time, like the regular strings do. If you prefer regular strings, It also helps to wipe the neck off after each session. They will last a lot longer with some simple care.If all else fails, try playing your guitar on top of your barn during a lightning storm.You won't have to worry about strings any more.

I agree with wiping your strings off. If you produce that much sweat, wipr them off between
songs. But DON'T USE WD40!!!! I have used it before and residue will build up on the neck
over time.

FOUR YEARS????? you left strings on your guitar for 4 years??? you must not play much.

Go to Fender.com, its one of their highest priced models

: Can someone please refer me to a "good" guitar scales instruction book written in all tabs? ( beginner - advanced) doesnt matter, just need to find one on paper. Thanks. Please post and name and Pub so I can find it..

Just go to your local guitar shop. It will have scale books written in tab. They are usually inexspensive.
Good luck.

Did you ever get any relpies?

What do you want to know specifically???

Hey mate!! I have a super 80's too, and I dont know too much about it, but I will give u a little history lesson on it. A while back Ibanez got the bright idea to mimic Gibson's style of the Les Paul, and that they did, until the guitar got too close to the design of the Les Paul. Ibanez ended up getting sued by Gibson over this guitar. I dont really know anything else, except that a buddy of mine @ a shop said that he would pay me two grand for it, so yea, it's expensive!!! If you know anything else, please email me!!!!!

: I have a design I want to stencil onto my guitar with an airbrush and I need to know what I need to do to prepare the guitar, what type of paint I should use, and what I need to put over the paint to protect it.

Hope dis answers your questions. (in order)
1) Prepare the guitar carefully.
2) Use Rustoleum (doesn't rust)
3) Spread grease over the guitar (where you don't want paint)
wash off with laquer thinner or any other hash stuff use sandpaper #60 on hard to clean areas.

Also- Foget the air-brush, just get an old broom and go for it. (Gives a texture look)
Good luck in yer project.
