      You can get a Marshall VS100R combo for 500. That’s all I’ve got you haven’t listed. I’m in the exact same predicament you are. Tell me once you decided. ~k

      : I’m planning on getting a new amp! The sound im looking for is the old metallica sound back in the late 80’s early 90’s! When they took all the mids out! I do have a Boss Metal Zone pedal that i can use if the amp would sound good with it! Here is what i’m looking at: a Crate GFX212 or a Peavey Special212 or even a Rogue Tuberider MHT-1000 2×12 combo? I’m on a tight budget! I can’t go above 00.00 ok if you have any other amps that i have not listed PLEASE TELL ME THANKS ALOT FOR THE HELP

      Are you recording direct input or microphone. If you are probably losing some punch that you would get from a speaker. You can get by this by using some multi effects with speaker simulation, but it still won’t have the punch. If you have to record direct try using disortion with a little delay and compression. Also if the sound is flat you can try to up the higher end e.q., but it might be harsh on the ear. The only way around the harshness might be to use an exciter. Well I hope this helps. See ya.

      Hey Jack. String tension equals spring tension. So… everything is affected by everything else. Action, angle of the bridge, how far the spring plate gets screwed into the wood etc. If you work on it for an evening you’ll have it! Stick to the same gague strings too.

      : I do agree that self teaching is good, to a point. I have been playing for about 15 years, I spent the first 6 years taking professional lessons. I learned the guitar inside and out. I studied all different kinds of guitar methods along with beginning through advanced music theory. I would not trade that training for anything in the world. Playing along with the radio is great, but it is even more beneficial when you know what is going on and have an understanding of how things work (theorywise). I would recommend lessons FROM A PROFESSIONAL GUITAR TEACHER….not a friend down the street who can pick a few chords or can play a major scale really fast. Building on a good foundation is the way to go.

      Look at Seagull acoustic guitars, one of the best for the money. If you learn on acoustic you’ll have a better foundation, develop your finger muscles and calluses. Good Luck

      : Is it true that a JCM800 is gutsier than a JCM900 ???

      I sold my JCM 900 several years ago to get an 800. I had have to say definitly yes. If you can find a JCM 800 channel switcher with reverb, and compare it to a dual reverb, will notice that the JCM 800 will eat the 900 and ask for seconds. Not only is it louder, It has all the gain you would need. An added bonus is that it is built way better (I’ve heard that the 900 transformers will burn up pretty easy). I’ve had mine for nearly 9 years with no problems, and I’ve carried it everywhere, dropped it, and basically put it through hell. However, those new JCM 2000’s sound pretty damn good…..

      : I’d like a small type practice amp, preferably tube, that I won’t need to upgrade in 2 years. A 15 watt would serve my needs. No more than 00.00. Is this doable in this price range. Guitar is an (American) Strat. Apreciate your input. Thanks!

      Thanks for the responses. I checked out the Fender Chanpion 30, written up in the musiciansfriend.com catalog. Looks promising. Also will keep an eye out for small used tube amps. May take awhile to locate a decent one. Any sites on the web selling used equipment that I could check out? Thanks!

      I recently went through the same situation as you. I decided on the Fender Champion 30,about 09. It is solid state but has a special Fender tube emulation device in it. It has clean and gain channels and reverb. I love tube amps but am VERY impressed with this amp. I highly recommend trying it. As other tube amps with these features can cost a lot more

      I agree with Rick, never stop teaching yourself but, after 25 years of playing, I started taking lessons. It is amazing how a credible teacher can open your eyes to techniques that you (or at least I) couldn’t figure out on my own. My experience has taught me that some of the best teachers are not teachers at all, just people you jam with. You learn some licks from them and vice-versa. This may sound like a no-brainer, but playing along with cds can help tremendously. My prefference is classic rock but have found that country music is easy and fun to learn.

      For what it’s worth,

      Learn some scales and practice them over and over until you don’t think about them any more. Play them straight through, or backwards, or skip notes, or play other little patterns. Eventually it should fall together.

      For around 50 you can get a used Soldano Atomic. It is only about 20 all tube watts but has great tone. Tons of gain so you wouldn’t need the metal zone. A boost pedal helps out if you want more gain. It is a little on the bright side but so was Metallica in their fine days. Scooping the mids sounds great with this amp. I use mine for death metal.

      If you want something louder, a used Rivera Knucklehead 55 can be found for about 00 with some effort. 2 channels all tube: 1 is high gain Marshall type and the other is pretty Fenderey and clean. This amp is very very loud for 55 watts. Plenty of volume for any type of gig.

      For less cash a used Peavey VMT is a grfeat deal. I’ve seen them for around 50-00. They don’t sound as good as the other two but a good quality, high gain, all tube amp for the cash.

      The Soldano and Rivera amps are high quality and well worth the money. They will keep their value unlike The Crate, Peavey, and the Rogue. Having tubes is essential for Metallicas tone.

      Hope this helps!

      It is NEVER too late!!! If you are 23 now and you are afraid that you are too old at 30 then answer this- How old will you be in 7yrs from now if you stopped playing guitar? Just a hopeful bit of encouragement to you from one player to another. The truth is that you can and undoubtedly will be enjoying music for many years to come! So forget about your "age" and enjoy the ride. (simple math proves that in 7yrs you will be 30 anyway-with or without the ability to play and enjoy the Guitar) I hope that helps – The world can NEVER have too many Guitarists!!!

      Hi Paul, great name you got there 😉

      I too have small fingers and used to have that problem of my finger slipping under the adjacent string when bending and have a few suggestions as to how to correct it…I tried a few bends just then and realised I often use my pinky or ring finger for big bends with three to four fingers on the string to help with the bend. All my fingers come down on the string quite vertically and so I find the adjacent string rests quite nicely on the fleshy bits of my fingers just in front of my nail, and if the bend is released smoothly the string shouldn’t ring and using more than one finger relieves the pain…I also used to use my index finger to control the adjacent string by either bending it aswell to keep it free and out of the way, or just making sure it mutes the string so it doesn’t sound…I hope this helps

      Hi — Are you sure you don’t mean a Gibson Explorer (the Ibanez version of which was called a "Destroyer") (i.e., the style of guitar that James Hetfield usually plays)?

      : Hello, I have a 1974 Gibson Destroyer with a natural wood finish and in good condition. Can anyone give me an estimation of how much this is worth? Thanks.

      : I am 27 years old and for some reason I spent all of my free time growing up playing sports instead of learning how to play musical instruments. I regret it now. I have found an interest in guitars and I have been thinking about learning how to play. So my questions are:
      : I am most interested in owning and learning how to play the 6 string electric acoustic guitar(I love the sound!), but is this the best thing to start off with? Should I just get an unplugged one at first? I also had someone recommend that I start up learning the bass first because there are just 4 strings to learn. Is this a good idea? I really don’t think I would have the time to buy two different kinds of guitars. Finally, what is the best way to learn to play on your own? Computer software, books, videos,etc.? Thanks to all who have taken time to read this and respond to me.

      : Mike

      : Hey.
      Mike, I am 19 years old and I have been playing for 6 or 7 years now. I am completely self taught. I think you should get any style guitar you want to learn on. If you want an electric acoustic, you should get one. You can find a complete range of beginner guitars for descent prices. You should just stick to what your ear likes and definately try to play a bunch of different ones (or at least hold them and feel them if you cant play yet) before you buy one. If you want to play guitar, by all means get a guitar and not a bass. They are two completely different animals. Just take some time and get what you want so you’ll be more likely to stick with it.

      As for learning, my advise is to just put in the time. Dont worry about getting lessons. Just go get a book that shows you how to tune it up, how to play some chords, and maybe some simplple chord progressions along the lines of Beatles tunes or Tom Petty or Van Morrison. Then, just play. Learn how to play the chords, and you can teach yourself everything else by playing with the radio.

        I am only 15 yrs old but and have never played a musical instrument, and thought an electric guitar would be a fun thing to try. Would this be to complex for me or should I try an acoustic?

      Good question, The 3-way toggle does select the pickups to be used. If it is in the Les Paul tradition, flipping the switch upactivates the neck pickup, in the middle activates both pickups, and down activates the bridge pickup. The knobs control the volume and tone of the pickups. The top knobs control the neck pickup ( I think, it could be the other way around)that is, the top-front controls the volume and the top-rear controls the tone of the pickup. The bottom knobs work the same way but with the other pickup. If you use both pickups, all four knobs are used, you just have to play with them to find a tone that you like. When I had my Les Paul I favored the center position with the volume and tone controls maxed. Anyway, I hope this helps!

      I bought a used Crate "Vintage Club" amp (15 watts, all tube) for about 30. It’s got a pretty decent tone with its internal 8" speaker. If you get a 16 Ohm cabinet, you can connect it to the speaker out. I run it through a 4X10" Peavey cabinet and it sounds great. There’s basically only one good tone in it, but that tone is awesome.

      : I’d like a small type practice amp, preferably tube, that I won’t need to upgrade in 2 years. A 15 watt would serve my needs. No more than 00.00. Is this doable in this price range. Guitar is an (American) Strat. Apreciate your input. Thanks!

      Start by checking to see if all the wires are soldered solidly to the controls…don’t forget to check the toggle switch.

      It doesn’t happen to the neck pickup at all? You might check the wires coming from the pickup itself too.

      I am doing a project for school but came across a problem… I can’t seem to find a biography on Angus Young. Is this because they are rare and lies, or is it because they don’t exist. If anyone has a digital copy could they please email it to me as it’s quite urgent.

      Hmm.Your problem is simple.When bending notes,place your fingers flatter(not too flat)against the fret board.This way your nail won’t slip under the other string,causing the string to slip over it.This should cure the extra ringing as well.Because the tip of your finger will mute the other string.Also,try muting the other strings with your palm heel as you release the bent note.With some practice,you’ll get it.
      Hope this helps.

      Hi, I have relatively small fingers so when I do a string bend, my fingers tend to slip under the adjacent string… but a lot. This causes two problems: (1) when I release the bend, it sounds the adjacent string, (2) it hurts a bit. The action on my guitar is pretty low–is lower the answer?

      So… is it correct technique to bend _under_ the adjacent strings, or I should I bend the adjacent string along with it? What is good string bending technique?

      Thanks much!

      What kind of details are you looking for? By the number I can tell it is a 1996. The Epiphone serial numbers are some of the most confusing out there. The company did not keep track of things until the 90’s. This is when they set up their current standard for serial #’s. :
      The first digit, the letter, indicates where it was made. Epiphone has used many factories for production. Two of the most popular are (S) Samick and (R) Aria. I’m not sure which factory F stands for.
      The second digit is the year. 6=1996. The remaining numbers are numeric codes for the company. Possibly what week (020) and the 206th guitar of the day.
      If you email Epiphone they usually will answer any question you have. I inquiured about my 80’s Epiphone and they said they have no record of it being made.

      Hope this helps!

      I think the clicking you hear are the springs being stretched.Spray a little WD-40 on them and bend the tremelo for a while,to loosen it up.The low E buzzes
      because you might need a setup done on the neck.Also,
      ask your repair man for a grind and polish on the
      frets.This should even them out so you could play with
      a lower action.
      Good Luck

      I have an Antoria Les Paul copy (cream coloured and in mint condition) that I bought new about 25 years ago. I have no idea what it is worth now, any ideas??? also does anybody know anything about Antoria?? I know they no longer exist, but can find no history on them.

        Hi, yes, although I am a woman, I am a guitarist and have played most of my life. I am looking to buy a Antoria Les Paul Custom, I would prefer a Golden Antoria as I used to have one in the 70’s, although I would consider a Sunburst. During the mid 70’s and early 8o’s I owned several Antoria Les Paul Customs and to me they played better than the original. The only draw-back is that the Les Paul, or the Antoria Les Paul Copy, is a bit heavy for a female of my build and as a result over the years I have either used SG’s or Fenders, but I just don’t get on with them at all and I don’t like the feel or the action of them although I prefer the SG to the Fender. I am not interested in modern Les Pauls as I think they are rubbish. I would like to get my hands on an early 70’s Les Paul, but unfortunately for several reasons including financial I am unable to do this right now. Therefore I really would like to lay my hands on an early 70’s Antoria as mentioned above. As far as your guitar is concerned it all depends on what you want to know? Are you just looking for a valuation? If so it all depends on the condition. But as far as a dedicated musician is concerned such as myself, the price of the guitar means nothing! It is all down to personal choice and which guitar is suited to your handling, your capability, action, and so on, and when you find the right guitar for you then that particular guitar becomes almost priceless to that musician. If you know anyone who has a Golden or Sunburst early 70’s Antoria Les Paul Custom, please, please let me know. In the meantime if I can be of any assistance to you please drop me a line. Regards. Talisa

        I need to change a pick-up switch on an old Ibanez EX series. It’s a five way switch to two humbuckers and a single coil. It doesn’t respond well when the switch position is changed. Plus I need to change my pickups also. I’ve never changed any of this before and my guitar needs full reconstruction. Does this need to be done by a local repairist or can I do it myself.

      Dude, The guy asked for some advice on buying a first electric, he doesn’t need to start thinking about upgrades and after-market pickups quite yet. I agree with you that, if he wants to play some jazz, he should stay away from Ibanez (at least their solidbody’s). But, as for your thoughts on Fender, I can’t disagree more, true, the Mexican Strats aren’t the greatest, they don’t have the same quality of workmanship that the American Strats do, but let’s not forget this is a FIRST electric. I would recommend a Mexi Strat to anyone buying an electric that doesn’t want to (or can’t) spend alot of money on a guitar. For a starter electric, I can’t think of a more versatile guitar than a Mexi or Japanese Strat. But, you are soooo right about the Squire’s….CRAP!!!

      What do you gotta be a surgeon to get one of theses things calibrated and intonated? If I raise the thing even a small amount, I cannot get the guitar to stay in tune, when I tighten the low E, all three bottom strings go out of tune and vice versa. And then the action’s all messed up and the Floyd is all tilted and angled. What the hell?

      If you spend money on a head and then try to run it without a cab you’ll be more than flat
      broke — you’ll be flat broke needing a new transformer for the head (expensive!). To reiterate,
      you cannot run a head without a cab. Moreover you need a cab that matches the impedence
      (ohms) of that head. Take Rey’s advice and buy the best combo amp you can afford. that way at least you
      (probably) won’t blow up your investment. There are some great ones out there, and you
      can still hook up an extension cab to most of them later on.

      Yes. If it’s a tremelo guitar, you may have to adjust the springs in the back of the guitar, you may or may not have to then fix the intonation. If it’s non-trem, you’ll probably just have to re-intonate it. I can walk you through this stuff if you need me to, just say so.

      Alright if your looking for a GOOD guitar then a fender strat is a bad idea. They are great don’t get me wrong but only the high-end strat — at least an american stadnard or better. The thing is they are overpriced. You are paying a lot of money for a start that you will need to upgrade to make it sound good. Ibanez sounds like a mistake if you want to play any jazz. How about a strat copy and put some really good pickups in them. You can keep the pickups when you upgrade the guitar and that it would sound as good as a 700.- strat amongst the fact that if you are starting out you prob. will not have the best amp and a bad amp will make any guitar sound like shit.
      Take a look at the entry level yamaha’s. They aren’t that bad. Don’t buy a squire strat!!
      good luck

      These amps are still around. I got mine several months ago and it is pretty cool. They won’t work in live applications,really. They are the Smokey amps. They sill come in the "cigarette" boxes, you can get them in practically every brand. They also are available in some cool hard plastic models in various colors. The cool thing is, believe it or not, these tiny little guys can power a 4×12 cabinet, or you can use it in an effects chain as a fuzz box. Quite cool!!! Musicians Friend has them, but you can find them in almost any music store, they run about 25-30 bucks. I hope this helps.

      No.I don’t think so.Guitar magnets tend to be very strong,made from metal chunks(Alnico,ceramic).I think it would take a lot more to harm them.The main concern here is the coil windings,very delicate.But another magnetic source should’nt bother them either.

      I’ve just bought a lovely 335-type semi-acoustic made by a company called Hotaka. All I know about them is that they are/were a Japanese company and that the guitar was probably made in the 70s. Does anyone have more information about the company and their guitars? Does anyone own a Hotaka? Mine has a flametop maple body with rosewood fingerboard and gold-coloured hardware. It looks great and plays very well!

      i remember seeing years ago, there was a company that hand-made amps that fit inside a cigarette pack… you could even send them an empty pack of your favorites and they would fill it with the amp! i also seem to remember that the group Boston used these amps (or something like them) to record an album in 87or 88….. i need to know what company it was/is now.. and/or if there is anything that small still on the market!…. please any help would be WONDERFUL! thanks

      That would be an ES-345, not a 245. I don’t know the price of them, but if it plays nice and sounds good, why worry about it? If it’s for insurance purposes tell them it’s worth about 500 or so.

      You may check prices at Elderly Instruments, see if they’ve got one similar, they’re online, just a do a search on their name. There’s also an online place called Vintage Guitar Buyers, or something very similar…you might ask them.

      : My father purchased this guitar in 1962, I believe the model is 245 and is still in original case. I have a good idea it’s value, but would like another opinion. The guitar is in mint condition and is cherry in color.

We do live interactive webcasts… One of our shows is a guitar show. It is totally interactive, with live audio and video, and also has slides that go with it. It will work and any internet connection, from 28.8k to cable and dsl. We have live shows every friday at 4:00pm pacific time, but (and this is part of my job) we archive every show so you can watch it any time of the day any amount of times. We have no advertisers, and we don’t make you pay. It’s totally worth checking out….

      There’s nothing wrong with my amp, I’m just thinking about changing them for two reasons. I’ve had the amp for over 10 years and never changed them, and I am interested in changing the tone slightly.

      : : Why new tubes? Are the originals broken – maybe dropped your amp. Vacuum tubes are very durable and your problem is probably not the tubes. Many years ago I thought I needed new tubes and took my amp to the "electronics" guy. He replaced the "fuse" and charged me 5.00. Ouch. I always check the fuses first.

If your really up for some industrial poundage….then go for either Line 6 products… or Roland. Roland is expensive, but they have awesome effects that will blow you away. Check some stuff out on ebay. I know a guy who has had his Roland Amp for over 10 years, and it still sounds perfect. Roland is the way to go, trust me. But it cost $$$, goodluck.

      : Good stuff, but fear not. Learn them note for note. Your style will be reflected in your tone, vibrato, timbre, etc. Your individual style will truely come out in your song writing and song selection.

      : Why new tubes? Are the originals broken – maybe dropped your amp. Vacuum tubes are very durable and your problem is probably not the tubes. Many years ago I thought I needed new tubes and took my amp to the "electronics" guy. He replaced the "fuse" and charged me 5.00. Ouch. I always check the fuses first.

      : never played guitar before? eh. Don’t by a powerful head and cabinet. Get a combo amp. Then learn to play. Heads and cabinets are for large venue gigs. I’ve played in many clubs and concert halls and have always used combo amps.

      Hi; Solid top means the front of the guitar is real wood as opposed to plywood. You can usually tell by looking at the edges of the soundhole ( the round hole beneath the strings). Of course, the salesperson should be able to supply that info, but this is the main difference, if it is plywood you should be able to see the laminations, if it is solid wood you should be able to see the grain. Solid top guitars are usually more money and better guitars. Happy shopping, Jim

      If you like these solos and want to learn them,then that’s cool!! Nobody learns in a vaccum. We are all influenced by our guitar heros,anyone who says they’er not is lying! So,instead of worrying,tape some chord progressions and solo to them.While you’re doing this,
      throw in some Iommi and Perry licks.You can also create
      variations of these riffs and make them your own.My point is,develope your style on your own and use what you’ve learned from those guys!This is how we do it.

      Hi folks,

      My name’s Lindi Hobbs, out in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I don’t play any instruments, but my 12 year old son has turned into quite a talented classical guitarist. It’s time to get him a "serious"
      guitar, as opposed to the little learning piece he has now. I’m going to be in Albuquerque next month, and I understand one of the best guitar manufacturers, Pimentel has their headquarters there.

      Anyway, I’ll be, as they say, a "babe in the woods" doing my shopping. My brother will be with me, but while he plays, he insists he doesn’t know much about purchasing guitars either.

      Question: I’ve been told to make sure the guitar has a "solid" front and back … but how the heck to I tell? I’ve seen nice guitars that look like they have two kinds of wood on the back, but they’re "solid
      back" anyway. So what does "solid" mean? no holes? well, I hope not!

      Anyway, if you folks have any pointers on what to look for and what to steer clear of, I’d be grateful.

      Thanks and take care ~ Lindi

      : I am a blind guitar player. Because of this, many instructional tools are not the best for me, because they usually depend heavily on the written/printed part of the instruction. Do you have, or know of any instructional material, that gives good spoken direction, on CD, video, etc?

      Paul’s reply:

      The only thing I’m aware of is a set of PC based software packages from a company called Dancing Dots:
      http://www.dancingdots.com/

      I don’t know if you are already aware of this software. But from what little I do know about it, they provide a way to use the Cakewalk sequencer, which itself can generate or import MIDI. Once the music is in MIDI it can be imported into their GOODFEEL package which can create brail transcriptions.

      This is about all I know about it and I really can’t say I’ve run across any other alternatives.

      I hope that is of some help.

      So, do you know what kind of FX they use to get this sound, and how to hard-disk-recording it?? Do i need a special software or just equalize in some ways the signal from my multi FX processor?
      And what kind of FXs do i need from my multi FX, and in which way do i need to chain them??

      I would like "I will then fret the A string on the fifth fret, and slide it to the seventh fret, and then pull off back to the fifth", rather than "watch what I’m doing, and you’ll get the idea". I have been playing guitar for around 20 years, so I am somewhat comfortable with the basics of the instrument, but just don’t always understand what is being demonstrated, when the spoken word is not given.

      Thank you for your help!! By the way… I primarily play acoustic finger style guitar, and love the blues, folk, and jazz.

Lately I’ve been jamming on songs like Paranoid by Black Sabbath, and Walk This Way by Aerosmith.I try to play the solos note for note from the album. When I’m soloing am I developing a Joe Perry style and Tony Iommi style of soloing by learning the solos note for note. I think by playing note for note it will have an adverse effect on my soloing style.Know what I’m saying?What should I do?continue learning note for note on the solos or should i somehow learn to play my own patterns???

      AnthonySS, I just purchased one through a mail order gig in PA.
      The Guys Name is NEAL of Neals Guitars. He has a web site in the
      classified section of guitarsite.com Prices range from 1800 to
      2400 from what I have seen. I spent about 3 months looking for one.
      There where 2 in NYC that where trash. Bought where too much money
      for what they where. I can tell you though when you try them out
      in strumming the 6 or 12 string the whole body of the guitar should vibrate
      to me that says it has a true heart (quality wood). Take your time to look
      There are some beautys out there. The ones made in 71 my understanding are
      the real popular year. Then when they re-issued them in 91. Gibson took
      there time and made a quality guitar. I also found out that the cherry
      colored ones are the better ones for resale. Then the brown then the white.
      If there is anymore I can help you with just EMAIL me. Happy hunting PEACE

      Hi,

      The professional series was made as Japaneese production copies of American models. They discontinued them cause they were less pricey, but similar quality to the US stuff and people bought them instead of they more expensive USA Jackson. They are excellent guitars and demand a bit more than other Asain Jacksons.(Like the current production PS models.)
      As for which model it is I would say it is a Stealth. It came in deep metallic blue. It usually had the sc, sc, humbucker pickup config, but a few had 2 hums with a sc in the middle. Are the dot inlays ofset or in the middle of the fretboard? What type of wood is the fretboard?
      I have seen these go for as much as 00 in near mint condition.

      Check out some of these Jackson/Charvel web sites. These guys know quite a bit about Jacksons and have allot of info on their sites.

It is very dark transparent green with rosewood fret and maple neck. The headstock is black and so is the hardware. It has two twin coil Jackson branded humbuckers and says Jackson Performer on the head. I think it is a 1993 model, and the number on the plate that connects the neck to the body is 9605126.

If you tighten it too much you could do a great deal of damage to the threads on the bar and bridge. I like the plumbers tape idea. That could actually do the job put you’ll have to replace that pretty often as you unscrew the bar. I seriously doubt you need a new one!

        I don’t have one of these amps (yet). I saw an ad for a used one ($400.00) in the paper this morning. While researching the amp, I found another post in a different archive on this site. https://www.guitarsite.com/discussion/messages/15824.shtml The configuration of this amp seems perfect for what I want to do, but am having second thoughts. Do you still think this is a decent amp? Thanks, ("another Wes" : Have problem with HUM from Stereo line outputs. Seems to occur when I use the stereo effects return jacks. Anybody else had this problem? What did you do?

      pick something that you like, and that characterizes your music, with disregard to what anyone says, because the public doesnt understand, and will never. they just want to sing along like the mindless drones that they are. youre the artist, youre in control. they will like whatever you tell them to like.

      is your guitar sanded or are you going to paint on a finished guitar? That makes a big difference on what type of paint you use. nick is right, use an air brush. Any thick layers of paint will probably alter the sound. Try putting your hand where your going to paint & strum.

      My father purchased this guitar in 1962, I believe the model is 245 and is still in original case. I have a good idea it’s value, but would like another opinion. The guitar is in mint condition and is cherry in color.

      My name is Greg Paugh and I have just completed my first CD made 99% with guitar synthesizer. My Project/Band Name is "Radiowave" my CD is "Journey Thru OZ!" Listen or download my music for FREE @ http://www.mp3.com/radiowave or feel free to buy my CD.

      I created all 9 soundscapes and performed and recorded them in my State-Of-The-Art, home based, project recording studio in under 3 weeks time (part time) in the month of February, 2001.

      I used a Godin LGX-SA midi guitar into a Roland GR-33 to control my Roland XV-5080 rackmount synthesizer. All playing on all sounds, tones, sound effects and atmospherics were played on the guitar – without sequencing. Steinberg’s "NUENDO" was my digital audio workstation recording platform. My amplification was a Johnson JM250 1/2 stack run direct into a TC Electronics "Gold Channel" channel strip into a RME "Hammerfall 9652" audio card.

      I have already been getting good placement on the charts of mp3.com all 9 soundscapes are in the #13-104 ranking on their charts by various categories and over 4,000 download/plays in under 7 days time since I uploaded my CD and started the mp3 account on 2-28-01.

      I have also had several contacts regarding possible film scoring work and radio station play as a result of my unusual soundscapes.

      It’s been really surprising for me to say the least.

      My soundscapes are all played on guitar synth (99%) or regular guitar (1%).

      My sound is unique and involves a tremendous amount of modulatory wide-stereoscopic tones that are often combined with traditional sounding instrument tones and dark choirs in addition to unique ambiences and natural and un-natural environments. The soundscapes have been described as "Powerful", "Mellow", "Relaxing", "Scary", Sci-Fi", "Meditative" and "Unusual". Indeed, an unusual Yin and Yang of descriptives.

      All artwork on my CD is also designed by me and is descriptive of the title "Journey Thru OZ!" since I am based out of Wichita Kansas…The land of OZ.

      Check out my site at http://www.mp3.com/radiowave and feel free to post a link to it and this info on your site for any references to guitar synthesizer musicians if you are interested.

      Please email me at [email protected] and let me know what you think of my first project "Journey Thru OZ!" and it’s use of midi guitar.

      Sincerely,

      Radiowave – Greg Paugh

        I don’t know when this was posted, do maybe you’ve already figured out the solution to your problem, but I’ve had the BR8 for awhile and pretty much no everything there is to know about it, so I thought maybe I’d drop a line for the fuck of it and see if maybe I can help: Yes Roland has definitly gotten their shit together as far as providing extended software online for the BR8, and yes they do have downloadable applications that will give you what your looking for, but for my money the easiest way is through wave studio. It’s an extended application, part of the latest version’s of SOUND BLASTER LIVE, and I use it becuase it gives me greater freedom in that I can cut and paste any area of the song, and you can also add effects. When I’m finished with a piece of music, I’ll line out the BR8 into the audio input jack of my computer, open up wave studio, simply press record in the program and press play on the BR8, after I’ve mixed all the tracks down. If you have any other questions about the BR8, feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] – P.S. I play guitar in a band and we record strictly on the BR8: I think you’d be surprised at the quality of our work and if you’d like to hear something then let me know – NEWT

        I have the same problem but I would not want slimmer fingers. I always buzz some of my strings. I am thinking the PRS wide thin neck might help or a guitar with a wider neck. You can also have a custom neck made to compensate for this. This is what I will eventually have to do. See if there are any wider necked guitars already available.

      Ummm, I sound like an asshole, but your best bet is a new trem.. sounds like yours is worn out. Is it the bar, or the trem bar cavity that is duff? a new bar may help but if you’ve whammied\screwed the internal grooved, you’re up shit creek with no paddle. time for a new unit or a lot of tolerance.. the previous post is a good idea, but ive never tried it.. maybe detrimental to your guitar’s health..

      I was told that the 85 and 60 models are the most natural sounding EMGs. Do they respond well with picking dynamics? The 81 is described as being really hot, with alot of presence, so I doubt that particular model ahs the dynamics and overtones I’m looking for. But what about the 85 and 60 models? I recently bought an old black Jackson strat with an alder body, maple strat headstock neck with a maple fretboard, floyd rose and one jackson J-90 pickup from my brother in law. It’s in pretty good shape, so I want to replace the super cruddy J-90 and make it my main guitar. I’ve been researching all kinds of pickups, trying to find the right one for this ax. I’m thinking, from the descriptions I’ve been reading on 85 and 60 model, that one of these might work nicely in this ax. But the picking dynamics issue has me wondering. My benchmark for a lead tone is what Adrian Smith got on "Somewhere In Time". I’ve yet to hear a lead tone in heavy metal that’s a dynamic as that. It’s so clear and crystally sounding. You can hear the plectrum hitting the strings, and the overtones just bloom with each note. When he hits those natural harmonics it makes my hair stand up. I realize that a big part of his tone is his outstanding phrasing. But if I could get close to that sound, I could die happy. So I guess the lead tone I’m looking for could be desribed as, icy, but warm, crystally, very clear with excellent picking dynamics and overtones. Will EMGs work for me?

        I’ve found that by simply chipping at the paint with a sharpish flathead screwdriver until you get close to the wood grain is best. But scrap carefully and with the grain of the wood (i.e. from the back of the guitar to towards the neck and NOT up and down). Once the wood starts to get exposed sand the area with a fairly abrasive grade of sand paper and then use some low grade wire wool on the area to really smooth it out. Also, rub the wire wool onto the paint surrounding the very edge of the exposed area to get a less obvious look. Once you have the shape of the area exposed you are happy with use a pine/vintage coloured wood stainer on the area to darken it up and it’ll look great. I also suggest putting a few other very small nicks and knocks on the guitar around the bottom and edges (pretty small) using the same method. I hope this helps, Marc

      This is one of the hottest passive pickups you can get. I had one in a Fender Strat a long time ago (wish I had kept it too) wired to a switch that would split the coils. This pickup doesn’t clean up well and has a very cutting high end to it (that can be both good and bad depending on the person). You’re amp will have a lot of say about this as well. If you’re playing Metal, the X2N or Superdistortion is the way to go.

My step-dad is a professional artist, who used to build movie sets and such –he knows materials, but I just want to find out and info possible, as he as never painted an acoustic guitar before.

      Kim, I think your best bet would be to use an airbush. Whatever paint you use you must make sure it is not as hot as what is already on your guitar. You’ll probably want to take a drop and try it somewhere where it will not be noticed to make certain there is no bad reaction between the two paints. Createx makes some very good waterbases acrylic paints. I have found a good deal of information from a company called Airbear that supplies all sorts of paints for all sorts of applications. Try to find the paint with the smallest pigment particles possible so the layers of colour will be as thin as possible. Good luck, Nick

      : You need a Vox AC(15 or 30), a compressor, phaser and a single coil guitar(preferrably a brian may model guild). Then you’ll be close. He also uses an english coin(sixpence?) to pick with. Remember, he overdubbed many tracks with slight eq tweaks to get those juicy tones.

        To get that May sound is easier than you think. The most important aspects are in my opinion the Kent Armstrong Tri-sonic pickups and the treble booster. Any other single coil guitar used with the treble booster will get close but not exact. Brian’s sound is a combination of things. The treble booster is key.

      To All:

      I have a 25 year old accoustic steel string guitar, a Conrad. My question is that: the surface of the guitar behind the bridge is not, or no longer, perfectly flat (not in plane with the guitar top). It almost looks like the bridge is pulling the top of the guitar toward the nut, like maybe from the string tension over the years has separated the top from the inner supports. Any thoughts on what it is, or how much it will cost to repair? Thanks to All

      You really can’t go wrong with a Marshall, but here we go again, you need to try out the amps with YOUR guitar at the store and decide which one sounds the best for YOU, OR, Better yet, if you can buy one(or both)on a credit card and try it(them) out for a week with the stipulation you can bring it(them) back if you don’t like it(them), you can test BOTH amps at home or gig this way & decide. I do it all the time when I’m not sure what I want.

      I’m into modern punk, and I need a new amp. I have 00 to spend. I was thinking about either a marshall vs102r(40) combo or a kustom trt50(00) all tube head and a 2×12(50) matching jenson cab. The trt50 isn’t an old one from the 60’s or 70’s, it is part of a new line geared to modern music(I heard it sounds comparable to a jcm900). Which is better for my style of music? Oh yeah I almost forgot, I use a mij 69 reissue mustang(NO, I’M NOT INTO NIRVANA), and a roadhouse strat with a jb junior in the bridge.

      If your practice amp has distortion, try a chorus pedal. You should be able to pick up a new one under 0. Delay pedals are fun too, but a little more $

      I think you hit on it. I Have been playing my strat for so long it would be difficult to change. Although,like a scalloped fretboard, I have heard that by not pressing all the way down on the fretboard, may cause tendonitius?? Or it may be just a story. Maybe someone has more info on this.

      I would go with the Fender. I know the crate will sound weak, I have tried them before. A little trick I learned with practice amps is to use headphones so that you bypass the cheap speaker they use in them.

      : I bought a 7-string washburn a couple months ago and i have noticed for some time that on the floyd rose were the whammy bar goes the screwing on the floyd rose is saw’ed off, now i have no clue why this is but the peice that sticks out that u put the whammy bar in half the part is sawed off, is it because the whammy bar couldnt fit and they saw’ed a part of it off? Im wondering because when u turn the whammy bar *180 degrees* as im turning it it gets harder to turn at a certain point and i know its because of this, now i want to know how much 7 string floyd rose’s are and are they easiy to replace

      If it does not affect the playability I would not mess with it. Just be careful when you buy the next one.

      Sounds like you need to check to make sure you have a good ground for you wiring. Don’t use any plug adapters or cheap extension cords.

      : this happens to me and the other guitar player in my band. when we have our guitars plugged in and touch an amp i get a electric shock-not too painfull but a rattle nonetheless. i guess since it happens to both of us, its not the guitar-is it the mike, or is this normal?

      : How do you get at the volume and tone pots inside a Riviera? I need to re solder(or replace) one and dont know how to get in.
      : Also the neck pickup some times doesnt work but everything seems connected properly(without seeing inside)any suggestions?

      Phil,
      Dan Erlewine’s Guitar Player Repair Guide book has a three page section on re-wiring
      a GIbson 335 that would probably be helpful in explaining how this is done. Basically you
      remove the rear pickup and pull all the guts through hole, rewire it and replace it. That’s
      how they do it at the factory.

      I think you’ll probably find the neck pickup problem is a bad switch, especially since
      it’s intermittent……

      The Erlewine book is highly recomended, even if you don’t do your own repairs…..

      I’m fairly new to guitar, and I’ve been playing tons of electrics in shops to find what I should buy. I’ve noticed on some guitars (many Jacksons for example) they have Jumbo frets. As you know, these frets are very tall and flat on top. If you push the string all the way to the board, it will sharp your note, so I assume that they’re designed to just push down a little. It seems like if I learned on jumbo frets it would do me a service, because you could probably get the notes to flow easier as well as improved speed. Some people in the guitar shops critized them but never give good reasons – perhaps if they’ve played all their life with smaller frets, jumbo frets might seem cumbersome etc.
      Anyway, what are the real pros and cons here? Is it purely subjective, or is there a general consensus among the wise/expierenced players out there on jumbo frets? (off topic: anyone know who sings a song that goes "I can see the red moon arisen"?…not CCR’s Bad Moon) Thanks.

        It’s definitely a great amp! Wide range of sounds from clean to heavy distortion and everything in between. You can change between the clean/crunch and ultra (lead) channels by footswitch. The only dislike is the weight (71 pounds)

        What a bizarre thought….do you mean to say that they’re telling you to play the chord wrong? Are you tuning your guitar conventionally, i.e. E, B, G, D, A, E High to Low? A regular B chord is played thusly: Use your index finger to bar at the 2nd fret, and fret the B, G and D strings on the 4th fret. It’s like an A chord moved up two frets. : Hey, anyone out there know of a site that has a correct chord chart?

      hey guys, the new John Frusciante album,
      "to Record Only Water for Ten Days," is out.
      It is beautiful. If any of y’all dont know
      who John is, he happens to be the guitarist
      for, arguably the all-time coolest rock And
      funk band, the Red Hot chili Peppers. This
      album is his third release as a solo artist.
      It is probably the most accesible to virgin
      ears, however, his other records are very,
      very special too. If you are interested in
      hearing what he’s all about, you can go to the
      house of blues online, and listen to 30 second
      streaming audio clips here:
      http://www.hob.com/live/cdpreviews/010206johnfrusciante
      I highly recommend the album to anyone who feels
      like it is finally time to get up off the floor
      and start stretching those angel wings.
      Make the pretend Real. Love & A LO HA, John e.

      : while i was tuning my guitar i broke one of the strings. i didn’t think it was a problem but then the other 5 strings would only play on certain frets and it seems like they’re muted. has anyone ever had a problem like this and know a solution?

      hey, sounds to me like you need to adjust the height of your bridge by your pick ups. when you tighten your strings it pulls the neck of the guitar a little so when one breaks and your bridge is too low the first few frets touch the strings. If you have an acoustic guitar the nut that your strings rest on may be worn down so you’ll have to get a new one, you can buy them at a guitar store. but anyway, just get the right tools raise the bridge if you have an electric guitar.

      I bought a 7-string washburn a couple months ago and i have noticed for some time that on the floyd rose were the whammy bar goes the screwing on the floyd rose is saw’ed off, now i have no clue why this is but the peice that sticks out that u put the whammy bar in half the part is sawed off, is it because the whammy bar couldnt fit and they saw’ed a part of it off? Im wondering because when u turn the whammy bar *180 degrees* as im turning it it gets harder to turn at a certain point and i know its because of this, now i want to know how much 7 string floyd rose’s are and are they easiy to replace

      one important thing to remeber is that when your changing the strings you want to cahnge them one at a time and to never take them all off, take off one string, put it on, ***TUNE IT*** then take off the 2nd string and repeat this, if the bridge starts to stick out from the guitar or sticks in, you need to take the back cover off and there should be screws that go in your guitar *pointing towards the neck* and u just need to adjsut them by tightning them to get ur bridge center with ur guitar, hope this helped

      are tex-mex pickups better than normal fender pickups?Why?

        : are tex-mex pickups better than normal fender pickups?Why? Well, Tex-Mex pickups are slighthly overwound (as were most 50’s and 60’s pickups, in comparison to modern standards). That extra wiring makes them "hotter" pickups, more responsive and having a better noise/signal ratio. Granted they are passive single-coil type, and they will still produce a good amount of typical hum … to avoid that, you will have to try Fender "Noiseless" pickups that are not hotter but simply better shielded, or EMG’s active pickup system (though these don’t suit every type of music, they are the best for gilmour-type solos…). I personnally try to minimize the hum (often using mid-settings between pickups), but a small amount is fine and can even at times bring an organic quality to the sound (as opposed to sterile). I use Tex-Mex pickups cause my axe came factory-equipped with them (mexican Nashville Deluxe Telecaster) and because I like both this instrument and its voice. And to answer your question: YES, I consider them to be better than standard pickups.

        I’m no professional by any means, but I really like my tex mex pickups in my california strat. I had the oportunity to try the tex mex pickups against the texas specials, in the same guitar. the texas specials were definatly stronger, better high gain, but the flavor of the tex mex is what I like, subdude, warm, and the best blues tone I have tried, I have a broder range of tones below the fully distorted level which gives me a overdriven sound rather than all out distortion. 2 million guitar players will have 2million different tastes in tone, but I like them.

        This was long ago, but i have one. It is REALLY high output, like, if u strum hard on your clean channel, it will distort, the harmonics r very easy to sound, they jump right out at u. It’s just a very hot sounding pickup, i use it with a dimarzio breed in the neck, it’s great. But the X2N just has a high threshold really, it can pick up higher and lower frequencies than other pickups.

      well first of all im gonna assume that you put the 6th string back on and then you had the problem. When you get that sound like the string is "muted" its called "freting out" its not cause by your strings, although sometimes it might, i know how to fix your problem but i need more info on your guitar.

      try turning down the gain on the amp, lowering the volume on your guitar a bit, or lowering your guitars pickups slightly.

        it is possible to make the gain less aggressive by changing the tubes. At the moment you will probably find that your amp is fitted with fender groove tube valves, by changing these to the fender standard valves should enable you to lose some gain. i also have a fender prosonic an i usually operate with gain 2 set to zero, i have the gain 1 set to about 2. this should help. j .lee

        : it’s a much better instrument. sounds better, not so twangy and annoying. hahahaha… you know very few people choose to play bass- "..there are people in the audience who like to LISTEN to the bass, because they love those low frequencies, and the way they make their bodies feel- but the role of the bass player in the band is not usually the most exciting role, because he has to play repeated figures. "…Electric bassists are often failed guitar players, demoted to this duty after a band meeting in the garage when they where thirteen." Frank Zappa OK- there is a point in that. Most bass players seem to be frustrated guitar players -specially those playing 6-string but only use one or two and play it like a guitar solo… (on the other hand the REALLY frustrated guitar players are the keyboard players. Remember those synths you could hang around your neck, they were sooo hot in the 80´s?) This raises the question "Why?" and the answer is simple- since we all believe that the only way to get the blow-job after the show is to play Lead guitar. "what?! you´d rather blow the guitar player? Hah! look at this high-tech dork I`M wearing.."

      Most FUZZ pedals will change your tone.Fuzz is the meanest high gain there is,more than overdrive, distortion.For fuzz try the Danelectro Fab Tone,the saturation is ridiculous! The BIG MUFF is cool,but I get more clarity from the Ibanez Smash-Box or SM-9.I use an odverdrive and a distortion pedal.By the way, Jimi didn’t use a Big Muff,it was a Maestro Fuzz something.In Jimi’s own words!!

      How to turn into ,000!
      READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! SO, JUST DO IT!
      This really works!

      Hello,
      I’m like a lot of others out there who have financial woes and I decided to try something new. If it works for me then I will be able to get myself out of a very difficult financial situation. Please read and see what results another got, it’s pretty exciting! It REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT WORKS!!! BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER FOR IT TO WORK!!!!

      I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little
      while back, I was browsing through newsgroups
      and came across an article similar to this that said you could make
      thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of
      .00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but
      like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said
      that you send .00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the
      article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of
      the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups.
      (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it
      over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I
      figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and .00,
      right?" Then I invested the measly .00. Well GUESS WHAT!!…
      within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I
      figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my
      first week, I made about 5.00. By the end of the second week I had
      made a total of over ,000.00! In the third week I had over
      0,000.00 and it’s still growing. This is now my fourth week and I
      have made a total of just over 2,000.00 and it’s still coming in
      rapidly. It’s certainly worth .00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more
      than that on the !! Let me tell you how this works and most
      importantly, why it works….Also, make sure you print a copy of this
      article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it.
      I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you
      will start making more money than you thought possible by doing
      something so easy!

      Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or
      download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come
      in!

      It’s easy. It’s legal. And, your investment is only .00 (Plus
      postage)

      IMPORTANT: This is not a – ; it is not indecent; it is not
      illegal; and it is virtually no risk – it really works!!!!

      If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive
      extraordinary dividends.

      PLEASE NOTE:
      Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and 0,000 or more can be
      yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of
      the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its
      success by carefully adhering to the instructions.

      You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business
      your product is not solid and tangible, it’s a service. You are in
      the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are
      happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made
      from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from
      people like you and me asking to be included in that list.

      Here are the 4 easy steps to success:

      STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on
      each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now
      get 6 US .00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of
      paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent
      thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal
      them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of
      paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a .00
      bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
      LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for
      it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried
      about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.
      Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed
      legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

      #1) Annie J
      716 39th street
      Des Moines IA 50312

      #2) BETTY K.
      404 6th street Suite B-3
      Coralville IA. 52241

      #3) Gordon Kuan
      7648 Highcliff street
      Rosemead CA. 91770

      #4) Kimberly R.
      P.O. box 7048
      Stateline, NV 89449

      #5) Maria O.
      1275 Angora Lake Rd.
      S. Lake Tahoe, CA. 96150

      #6) Dan R.
      695 E Patriot Blvd #69
      Reno, NV 89511

      STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move
      the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc…) and add YOUR
      Name as number 6 on the list.

      STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
      close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
      least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All
      you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
      make!

      This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18
      Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal laws.
      Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money,
      you can use it again, and again.

      PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the
      honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully
      adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of
      integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many
      others have received will come your way.

      NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,
      either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you.
      This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might
      be a good idea to wrap the bill in dark paper to reduce the risk
      of mail theft.)

      So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed,
      six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List
      Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list
      geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will
      be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for
      only .00 (.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send
      it now, add your own name to the list and you’re in business!

      —DIRECTIONS —– FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS————

      Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
      posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and
      drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select ‘copy’
      from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the
      computer’s memory.
      Step 2) Open a blank ‘notepad’ file and place your cursor at the top
      of the blank page. From the ‘edit’ menu select ‘paste’. This will
      paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name
      to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If
      you want to do your postings in different settings, you’ll always
      have this file to go back to.
      Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for
      various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
      discussions.)
      Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new
      message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste
      from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that
      everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a
      particular group, click the post message button. You’re done with
      your first one! Congratulations…THAT’S IT! All you have to do is
      jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of
      it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE
      MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL
      MAKE!! BUT
      YOU
      HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That’s it! You will begin receiving
      money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to
      rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If
      you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as
      the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE
      CORRECT.**

      Now the WHY part:
      Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
      example). So then I made .00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now,
      each of the 5 persons who just sent me .00 make the MINIMUM 200
      postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each
      of the original 5, that is another 5.00 for me, now those 25 each
      make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I
      will bring in an additional 25.00! Now, those 125 persons turn
      around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5
      replies each, I will make an additional 25.00! OK, now here is the
      fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with
      my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me
      ,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200
      newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200
      newsgroups react I will receive 5,625,00! With an original
      investment of only .00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the
      list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send
      out another .00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6
      again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you
      realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the
      internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are
      now!! So, can you afford .00 and see if it really works?? I think
      so… People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no
      one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that
      happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest
      people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are
      willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new
      users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual
      internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really
      work. God bless you!

      How to turn into ,000!
      READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! SO, JUST DO IT!
      This really works!

      Hello,
      I’m like a lot of others out there who have financial woes and I decided to try something new. If it works for me then I will be able to get myself out of a very difficult financial situation. Please read and see what results another got, it’s pretty exciting! It REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT WORKS!!! BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER FOR IT TO WORK!!!!

      I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little
      while back, I was browsing through newsgroups
      and came across an article similar to this that said you could make
      thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of
      .00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but
      like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said
      that you send .00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the
      article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of
      the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups.
      (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it
      over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I
      figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and .00,
      right?" Then I invested the measly .00. Well GUESS WHAT!!…
      within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I
      figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my
      first week, I made about 5.00. By the end of the second week I had
      made a total of over ,000.00! In the third week I had over
      0,000.00 and it’s still growing. This is now my fourth week and I
      have made a total of just over 2,000.00 and it’s still coming in
      rapidly. It’s certainly worth .00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more
      than that on the !! Let me tell you how this works and most
      importantly, why it works….Also, make sure you print a copy of this
      article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it.
      I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you
      will start making more money than you thought possible by doing
      something so easy!

      Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or
      download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come
      in!

      It’s easy. It’s legal. And, your investment is only .00 (Plus
      postage)

      IMPORTANT: This is not a – ; it is not indecent; it is not
      illegal; and it is virtually no risk – it really works!!!!

      If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive
      extraordinary dividends.

      PLEASE NOTE:
      Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and 0,000 or more can be
      yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of
      the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its
      success by carefully adhering to the instructions.

      You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business
      your product is not solid and tangible, it’s a service. You are in
      the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are
      happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made
      from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from
      people like you and me asking to be included in that list.

      Here are the 4 easy steps to success:

      STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on
      each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now
      get 6 US .00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of
      paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent
      thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal
      them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of
      paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a .00
      bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
      LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for
      it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried
      about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.
      Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed
      legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

      #1) Annie J
      716 39th street
      Des Moines IA 50312

      #2) BETTY K.
      404 6th street Suite B-3
      Coralville IA. 52241

      #3) Gordon Kuan
      7648 Highcliff street
      Rosemead CA. 91770

      #4) Kimberly R.
      P.O. box 7048
      Stateline, NV 89449

      #5) Maria O.
      1275 Angora Lake Rd.
      S. Lake Tahoe, CA. 96150

      #6) Dan R.
      695 E Patriot Blvd #69
      Reno, NV 89511

      STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move
      the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc…) and add YOUR
      Name as number 6 on the list.

      STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
      close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
      least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All
      you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
      make!

      This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18
      Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal laws.
      Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money,
      you can use it again, and again.

      PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the
      honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully
      adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of
      integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many
      others have received will come your way.

      NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,
      either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you.
      This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might
      be a good idea to wrap the bill in dark paper to reduce the risk
      of mail theft.)

      So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed,
      six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List
      Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list
      geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will
      be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for
      only .00 (.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send
      it now, add your own name to the list and you’re in business!

      the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE
      CORRECT.**

      Now the WHY part:
      Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
      example). So then I made .00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now,
      each of the 5 persons who just sent me .00 make the MINIMUM 200
      postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each
      of the original 5, that is another 5.00 for me, now those 25 each
      make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I
      will bring in an additional 25.00! Now, those 125 persons turn
      around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5
      replies each, I will make an additional 25.00! OK, now here is the
      fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with
      my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me
      ,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200
      newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200
      newsgroups react I will receive 5,625,00! With an original
      investment of only .00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the
      list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send
      out another .00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6
      again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you
      realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the
      internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are
      now!! So, can you afford .00 and see if it really works?? I think
      so… People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no
      one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that
      happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest
      people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are
      willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new
      users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual
      internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really
      work. God bless you!

      Hi,
      I think it’s aok to mix and match speakers, just as long as you match impedances of the speakes, as well as the total impedance of the speakers to the amps desired load impedance. In short, make sure your new speakers have the same value (in ohms) as what you’re replacing. I’m not sure about wattages though. I don’t think wattage matters as much.

      Do a little of both. You should have someone teach you the basic stuff because it’s frustrating enough as it is at first, and then you should teach yourself. Lessons might get you sharper on technique and theory and speed, but teaching yourself beings more creativity, innovation, feeling and style.
      Just my two cents.

There’s little info on this brand other than it’s an import, but it has a solid spruce top. I’m looking for non electric acoustic guitar, somewhere in the price range of 50 and the type of music I "hope" to play would be rock.

      Any physicists out there? I’ve been experimenting with a cheap sound hole pickup in my Larivee 12-string. It comes close to giving me the fat jazz sound I’ve longed for. BUT it seems to induce a static charge on me and the guitar. A 60 hz buzz builds up until I ground myself somewhere. I’ve become conditioned to wince every time I touch metal. My current solution is to attach a wire from my wristwatch to one of the tuning machines, and then on to a grounding post on my ancient Tascam M30 mixer. This works, but is going to look ridiculous on stage. I have a similar problem with my Washburn acoustic/electric. No static discharge, but a pure 60hz hum unless I’m toucing the strings and a ground at the same time. This makes playing difficult. HELP.

      : For that old sound the standard would be a Big Muff or Little Muff pedal, Jimi used the Big Muff. There were others but this one is Fuzzy!

      Jimi used a Fuzz Face ( the pedal that put the "stomp" in stomp box; the only way the damn switch would work was to jump up and down on it);
      most of the Electro Harmonix stuff came out after Hendrix passed away. The reason that people think of Hendrix and E-H is that in the early-mid
      70’s they ran all sorts of ads that used Hendrix’s name. They never actually said that Hendrix used any of it, they just tried to connect the two.
      Stuff like " Jimi used a box called Octavia to get his octave sound; now you can get the same sound with……" Nowadays Janie Hendrix’s lawyers
      would rip a strip offa MIke Matthews in a heartbeat. But back in the 70’s endorsement was just another big word :^)……..

        Although Ibanez have been making cheap copies for years, it was during 1976-1979 that they started producing specific ‘Gibson’ copies: these included the Flying V, the SG, the SG Double-neck, the Melody Maker (!), the Moderne, and of course.. the Les Paul. They were produced cheaply and exported all over the world to fight with the low-end market.. and they did good, as later success proves. I think you’re guitar almost definately comes from this period, but I’d like the Serial No. if that’s possible, so I can verify the date and production batch (just curious). In terms of ‘worth’, its the same old case of ‘one man’s junk.. another’s treasure’. Most may not be interested, but collector may kill for it. DONT SELL IT TO A MUSIC SHOP! They may con you. I’m pretty curious myself about this long-lost period, If you give me the serial No., I’ll do some research. ~d [email protected] Goto http://www.insaneguitar.net for the best free shred lessons..

      Check with http://www.stewmac.com for genuine Gibson P-90s, or you could look on http://www.musiciansfriend.com for the same. At Stewart MacDonald (www.stewmac.com) you might be able to find a pickguard as well, but there’s no guarantee. You can get the material to make a pickguard there though. Better yet, buy a pair of Gibson P-100s. They’re P-90s that are physically configured to be the same size as regular humbuckers. Meaning that they sound like P-90s, but you can drop them in the regular humbucker’s slot. Re-wiring is fairly simple if you know how to use a soldering gun. Just make sure you do one wire at a time and/or make very good notes of what goes where when you unhook the humbuckers. You don’t need to change any of the other controls, the pots and switch will work just fine with the single coil pickups.

      The "Second" stamped on the headstock also indicates that there was a cosmetic flaw in the instrument when it left the Gibson factory. Don’t freak out and think it’s worthless because of it, but it will lower the value. Also, don’t freak out that there’s a flaw, because as I said before, it was only cosmetic. Structurally flawed guitars only left under special circumstances, usually sold to Gibson employees who would repair the guitar on their own. Structurally flawed guitars also have the initials BGN stamped in the headstock, it stands for "Bargain".

      Probably more info than you ever wanted to hear about a Gibson.

      Like JJ said, look a little closer at the serial number and see if you’ve added or subtracted a number…it seems odd to have seven digits on it….if you go to http://www.gibson.com/downloads/bluebook/GibsonSERIALNUMBERS.pdf you can get pretty much all the info available on Gibson serial #s. You need Adobe Acrobat to read it is all.

      If it sounds good and plays nice why bother selling it? Hold on to it for your kids or something.

      : I have a Gibson explorer and i have no idea how much its worth and what year it is. On the top where the strings are it says its an e/2. On the back it says that its made in Usa, has the serial number 8032212 and has the words second near on the top of the head of the guitar.

      Hi Joe,

      I fixed your question…. Gibson Company specifications from when they were in Kalamazoo are:

      1st string height at the 12th fret – 3/64"
      6th string height at the 12th fret – 5/64"

      Except on a Les Paul Custom it was 3/64" and 4/64" that’s why they called it the fretless wonder.

      The string heights are with the neck adjusted to be straight (no hollow or "relief"), and of course the strings were supposed to gradually go from 3/64 to 5/64 from the little one to the big one.

      Flattop guitars (acoustics) are 5/64 to 7/64.

      Archtop electrics are the same as regular electrics (this includes ES style guitars like the 335, or BB King Lucille, and the big jazz boxes like L-5, Super 400 and Johnny Smith).

      I don’t precisely know Fender’s specs, but I usually set mine up at about 4/64" and 6/64", because I play with light strings (.009-.046) and bend a lot.

      Hope this helps

      : Does anybody know the standard height between the strings and neck on your average Fender/solidbody type guitar? Thanks.

      Hi,

      There is something strange with your axe. The E2 indicates that the model is an explorer 2. They were only made from 1979-1984. Are you sure that there isn’t another number at the end that may be difficult to see? If so, it would indicate a 1982, made on Feburary 1, which makes sense. I don’t know of 7 digit numbers on that era Gibsons. They were 6 digits til 75 then 8 digits from then on.
      Is it natural finish? This would also indicate an Explorer 2.

      Hope this helps.

        OK… so you wanna sound like the 70’s. There are 2 ways that you can accomplish this: 1 – Get the actual pedals and stompboxes that these guys used back in the day; like a Maestro Fuzztone(???$), Big Muff Pi(100$), Fender Blender(this is extremely rare, i just found one after 3 years of searching, it has more fuzz than any amp can handle 200$) Ibanez Fuzz boxes are decent as well. or 2 – Get an awsome ANALOG multi-effects pedal, i have an old one like this but it is scratched to shits and i cannot tell what model it is, but it is great. So there ya have it…

      My big muff says "electro-harmonix/sovtek" on it and came in a wooden box with "distortion" written on it in russian. My guess it that they all have the same guts.

      Tape echos are probably the best sounding.But they can be inconsistant,bulky and need repair after a while(4164380$).I use a Boss DM-2 or Memory Man for live gigs.The
      DM-2 has balls but you can control the Memory Man with
      your feet.Used a Roland Space echo(not mine)for a while
      But it got knocked around and the tape motor got screwed up.

      Troy, I own two Taylors now and am looking into a third one. So far I have played, probably 30 different Taylors for an hour or two each and have found them all to be consistently good. Very fast neck, correct intonation all the way up the neck and a very good tone. Each one was a pleasure to use and hear. I don’t think you could go wrong with any Taylor. Good luck. Oh yeah, I currently own a 714 and a 750. Whimsmith

      Hi,
      I am a metal player and I string up with 12s or 13s. It is much easier to play fast with 9s or 10s but tone is sacrificed. The only thing I am unable to do well with the heavy strings is two hand tapping. I’m not a big fan of that style anyways.

      Some of the 80’s speed demon metal players used 008s!!!! Crazy!! Some guys like Josh Homme from Kyuss use very heavy strings, but I think 10s are the most popular.

      Hey,

      I play metal and tend to stay away from the Ibanez stuff. The cheaper models are made out of plywood, have terrible pickups, and don’t sound all that great. Take a look at some of the cheaper Jacksons. The JS 20 is about 00 and is made out of solid Basswood or Alder, maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard. Much better sounding and durable. You can even find used Jackson Performers or Charvels in your price range that are solid wood, have a Floyd Rose type trem if you dig that, and much better pickups. Even the cheapy BC riches that go for 50 are made out of agathis. Agathis is not the best sounding but are better than plywood. Don’t mean to be redundant but stay away from plywood!

      I am 95% self taught. I’ve taken lessons from 3 or 4 different teachers,
      but mostly I learned from reading and listening. Reading books that is, and listening
      to music. I also learned A LOT by jamming with other players, and joining
      a band. That is probably the THE MOST effective way to learn.

      I should start by saying I love Martins, but I am impressed by the tone and balance of the Taylors I have played. I do think they are over priced somewhat.
      Try some other brands in the same price range before deciding. If you do buy a Taylor, you won’t get a bad guitar.

      I started playing guitar when I was 14 yrs. old. I started taking lessons from a guy Jeff Cohen for my first 4 years.He also held group guitar lessons and had
      Guitar Therapy classes.Later,I studied while in college
      and then went to Mannes for two years(expensive).
      Learned classical counter-point(loved it),amoung other
      things.Gigged with a lot of bands.Took more lessons with this cool mofo(what’s his name)three lessons with
      this cat changed my whole perspective of guitar.When I
      first started with lessons I wanted to learn everything.My teacher said,"slow down kid,nobody knows it all." "There’s simply too much to know." So I’ll just keep playing and keep learning.

      I have one of those little Crate 15 watt Club series amps. It’s class A power with an 8" speaker. By itself, it’s only useful as a practice amp at home, or maybe for recording….the 8" speaker is a little shrill for my taste. I plug it into my 4X10 cabinet though and it has this awesome overdrive sound. My singer uses it onstage for his Stratocaster. I play through my Mesa/Boogie because it’s way more versatile and sounds better, but there’s no sneezing at the tone of the Crate.

      Food for thought. By the way, part of the reason it sounds so good is it’s all tube, not that cheesy solid state crud tone. I bought it used for 29.00

      I wouldn’t hang one guitar over the other for the simple fact that it kinda makes it impossible to play the one underneath, without risking having the other one fall off its strap.

      The stand you want is called a Gracie Stand. I’m not certain where you can buy one, maybe on Musicians Friend (www.musiciansfriend.com). It’s a stand for an acoustic guitar that you can adjust up and down and play on, then walk away and play the electric guitar. I use one on occasion.

      : It is a pain in the butt, however I recommend teaching yourself. The reason: because you will have no pre-conceived notions of how to play. Everything from a noise to a great arpeggio can be a great part/song. I found that after I taught myself and then later took some lessons(with different teachers)that the teachers were trying to pigeon-hole me into "a guitar student" rather than a musician. It’s tough to put into words, but I think self taught is the way to go. Just use your friends for free lessons and jam with lots of people. It’s more fun that way.

      Started learning from dad on his guitar, then I got my own in 6th grade. I’ve been playing plenty since. I took some lessons on and off, but I do think after you learn the sounds of things, figuring out songs and how people you like to listen to do what they do ends up being the most helpful. Practice helps tons too, I spend most of my free hours here at school playing guitar.
      Some of the best were entirely self-taught, which seems like a slow route to me, but maybe it’s better in the long run.

      I use 10’s and am putting on 11’s next set. Your fingers get strong enough to do it. Mine sure have. You also build up some left hand stamina. Go play on a set of 11’s for a week and then try some 9’s on different guitar. You’ll see what I mean.
      I do, by the way, play some Metallica from that era, and with some time you can surely use those big strings.

      Hi,
      my band is doing a cover of fade to black by metallica and im playing james’ parts. I was thinking about playin the clean on acoustic and the distorted on electric. I was planning on hanging the two guitars at the same time. Is this a bad idea and a recipe for humiliation?? I was also thinking about finding a stand where i could walk up to it and play it and then walk off to play the dist. Any ideas or comments please

      I’m looking for information on a guitar I bought at a garage sale. I believe it is a steel lap guitar. Color primarly black with white. Written on the guitar front is the word Airline. On the black felt back is a metal label with: T41887 engraved. Any information would be welcome. THANK YOU !!!

      Does Anyone know why my speaker warps (thats the only word I can think to describe it) it sounds like it cant take the load, but does it does it when I play quiet too, am i using too much bass, I cant stand the sound with more treble, does any1 have this problem also – I also sometimes get a problem with the distortion channel, it happens on VIBE and off, but it doesnt come on for ages (longer than a valve warming up) it then crackles and cuts out a lot. Any help would be appreciated, thanx

      : 1. i need your answer on the best set of pickups…..whether a single coil is good enough, two single coils, a coil and a humbucker, two or three (does that exist) humbuckers or a combination of two humbuckers and a coil etc….there just seem to be too much choices to be made…..if music style is of any concern to this, i play mainly blues and rock (a bit of metal too)…………..

      Well, this is very subjective. But if you play rock and metal, humbuckers are the way to go. For some blues applications, single coils do the trick. You can try to find a guitar that has a coil split which will change the humbuckers to singles for even more sound options. Play lots of guitars and decide what you like the best.

      : 2. how good is kramer? while the price is ridiculously attractive, i’m quite curious about the product and the workmanship ie. the coil, the wood, the bridge, the durability etc……one more thing, how can they sell so cheap?

      The new Kramers are not very good guitars in general as far as their quality. But I did play one and was quite impressed with the sound and playability of it. They are good starter guitars but probably not something you will want to keep for a long time if you decide to continue playing. I just don’t think they will hold up. I personally think you have to be up in the 00 range to get a decent instrument. I would recommend Hamer, Dean, or Washburn guitars. Stay away from Epiphone, Rogue, lower priced Ibanez, and brands you never heard of.
      You wont be happy in the long run.
