I`m certain that you will get a great sound with this guitar, just put a good drive or distortion in.
Try the Boss Dual Overdrive SD2, this one has as the name say to types of drive in one pedal.
Hope you got somthing out of this advise from a cold fall morning in Norway.

Jackson LTD 88 Guitar

Posted by dvdsmmrfld on Sun, 10/13/2002 - 19:08.

In looking at the Jackson LTD 88 on the Jackson Guitar website (in the Mother of all Inquiries Section), I see it shows 2 pickups (a humbucker and a single coil) with volume control, a 3 position selector switch, and also a Schaller trem. Does anyone know if any of these were made with the tone control and Jackson (JT6) trem unit or did this have to be an add-on? Dave S.

Drop D Tuning

Posted by pktiger on Sun, 10/13/2002 - 20:55.

Need help with "drop d" tuning for guitar. Can anyone help with the tunings for each string?

Re: Drop D Tuning

Posted by Ant C on Sun, 10/13/2002 - 21:27.

Simply detune the bottom 'E' string down to D. The rest of the strings are left in normal concert pitch. It's easy as you can always tune it against the pitch of the normal D string.

Re: Drop D Tuning

Posted by lespaulguy on Sat, 10/19/2002 - 02:40.

: I second that. Also, a fun tuning is tuning to open E. You can do alot of old rolling stones stuff with that.

T.C.Electronic G Major Procesor

Posted by Bull on Mon, 10/14/2002 - 10:36.

Do you anybody have some experience - good or wrong, with G Major guitar procesor from T.C.Electronic?

Re: T.C.Electronic G Major Procesor

Posted by Chris Brightwell on Wed, 12/18/2002 - 14:09.

: Do you anybody have some experience - good or wrong, with G Major guitar procesor from T.C.Electronic?

I've got one. It works great with my Marshall, which has a serial effects loop. The effect quality is outstanding. However, I just picked up a used Boogie Rectifier Tremoverb, which has a parallel effects loop. It doesn't work at all.

The G-Major doesn't have the ability to turn the mix completely wet, and remove the dry signal. It also sends the dry signal back to the amp with the phase reversed. Therefore, you get a really nasty doubling effect. Picture an analog delay set to .001 ms delay - ALL THE TIME!

Save your money and get a Rocktron Replifex. I've had one in the past, and I'm getting one again. Not only does it have all of the cool vintage effects in it, it's clean, quiet, and has a HUSH in it instead of the gate that's in the G-Major. The best part: it's $350 instead of $500. Most stores don't carry them as regular stock, but any store can order them, and Guitar Center told me I can special order one for $250 and they could have it in a couple of days.

T.C. Electronics really screwed me.

You might have to take a look at your frets, sounds like it need some dressing, or you could try to adjust the trusrod.
If you never done this try taking it to a lokal guitar shop, i ges they take a look and give you some advice for free.
I`m not shoure were you live but here in Norway it`s free.

Re: Hey Cord, I used the strings you told me to but they sound bad

Posted by Cord on Fri, 11/08/2002 - 15:10.

Hi:

I was recommending acoustic guitar strings, for an acoustic guitar. Did you buy electric strings? You should have.

There are thousands of professional musicians using Martin bronze strings, including full time studio musicians. They are fine strings, although they may not be fresh. It depends on the volume of sales in the store where you bought them. I get mine within two weeks of the factory.

Also, if you have rattle it is not the strings. There are several things that mush be checked. I do my own work, but I suggest that you see a profesional Luthier.

Flame is correct. The first thing that should be done is to have the truss rod in the neck adjusted. That will help give you some correction up to about the 8th to 10th frets.

Also, if your guitar was set up for a heavier gauge set of strings the last time that the rod was adjusted; and you have put on a lighter set, that can often cause string rattle.

While it is very true that your frets could be uneven and may need to be filed and dressed; or even some of tghem may need to be replaced, you don't want to have anybody start filing and dressing the frets until everything else has been checked, because every time you file and dress the frets you are lowering the height of those frets and they will wear out sooner.

Good luck,

Cord
