        : I need some help trying to find some blueprints fo a 1960 4 by 12 guitar amp. I don’t know your "brand name" but I know that there’s a World Class Amp & electronics Engineer named Dan Torres with a lot of info at http://www.torresengineering.com. Might be worth a try, though he can not possibly answer all inquiries. I understand he is very busy and can only work 24 hours a day. I hope you are successful. Also, a google search for specific amp schematic diagrams could surprise you and save you the trouble of a prolonged inquiry. Strat Man Dwight

      I recently won a Fender Stratocaster, made in mexico. It was raffled off at a movie premier for the festival express movie that was recorded in 1970 with Jerry Garcia and Janis Joplin along with other bands. The guitar has engraving in gold, Festival Express and a picture of Jerry Garcia and Janis Joplin engraved next to the Festival Express. The guitar is white with a light colored neck.

                  That’s fine, but options wise, the DD6 has much more to offer than the DD3 in case there ever was a time when a longer delay is needed. I don’t like too much delay either but I have the options.

                Personally, I’d go with the DD-6. It has up to 5 seconds of delay time and it has a Tap Tempo feature which really comes in handy.

      Hi, My name is Earl Laney. A friend of mine gave me a dobro about 20 years ago. I got it out of the attic to looke at it. It is all metal body, painted shades of brown, at the head of the wooden neck it has tortise covering the front of the head with the name of dobro engraved in it. It is in the orginal case – the brown is starting to peel off. The metal is bright under the paint. Someone told me it was made between 1935-l940. It still had the strings on and was close to being in tuned. I was wondering what the value of a guitar like this would be. Earl Laney

          : : I need information about a guitar named Simga guitars est.1970 model SG-7 Steinar … what would you like to know? Any specific questions besides value? I currently own one. These were made by martin of Nazareth,PA., of course, contracting out in the Orient, to make a guitar similar to their own short-lived E-18. Like the Martin, the Sigma has I believe a 9 piece body made of Maple with Rosewood splices, and a maple set neck with rosewood fingerboard. They have excellent pickups designed by DiMarzio, but made elsewhere. Martins had the real thing. There are 2 humbuckers and a 3-way toggle; no split/phase like the Martin. Other electronics are absolutely first class, with full size 500K audio taper pots and an ingenious treble bleed on the volume controls. Gotoh tuners, stop tail and a tune-o-matic style bridge were standard appointments. Workmanship is excellent throughout. These guitars sound very good, and should sustain virtually forever. All had natural finishes, and with the original Martin curly headstock they are not considered to be be the greatest in the looks department. I believe that the Martin company would be happy to provide any more info that you may require, except for value, as always. Strat Man Dwight (Canada)

      to pay for guitar lessons? The guy says he is very thorough, and the lessons are 50 mins long. He comes to you as well. Am I getting ripped off or is £20 a lesson sound about right?

        I pay £25 for an hour. Again the guy comes to me and most of the time the lessone over-run a bit. So £20 sounds pretty reasonable. The question to ask is if you need lessons once a week or once a fortnight. That really depends on how much time you get to practice.

            Bass guitars tend to be bigger, thay have a longer neck, 6 string electric will take you longer to learn, and you will find a lot of competition should you want to get into a band, become a good bass player and you can get into any band, both guitars cost about the same kind of money, and similar prices for amplification.

      I have purchased what I think is a Les Paul Japanese "studio" guitar. It has a great Tabacco Sunburst finish, gold plated gibson pickups, and the bell top decal that says "studio" from the studio line of Gibson Les Pauls. Now what makes me think it’s a copy is it has a bolt on neck (!) and no Gibson or Les Paul Studio decal on the headstock. It does although have a 3-way switch in between the volume and tone controls like the new Slash Les Paul model has. It’s serial number is "E760872". I’m thinking Epiphone but I never knew Epiphone made guitars with bolt on necks or made a model with a toggle switch between the volume and tone controls….

They were made in London by the Emil Grimshaw banjo company. I had one in the 70s and loved it to bits till someone knocked it onto a fireplace and the neck snapped. They are good instruments and if you are interested in selling I may be interested in buying.

      Hey. I just got a Fender American Series Deluxe Ash Stratocaster off eBay because I was in contact with the seller, so I thought it was a safe buy. It was, the guitar arrived today, and it’s BETTER than my dream guitar. Anyways, I graduated from a Gibson Les Paul Epiphone Special 2 and it had a stop bar tail piece, and changing strings was easy. With this new guitar, it had a preamp and a Piezo Fishman bridge installed. I was wondering, how do I change strings. It appears the strings go down into the bridge, where my fingers don’t fit. If you know how I can change the strings, thanks. I blew the high E string when I was having some fun with this awesome tremolo.

            Are you saying it is a guitar just because it looks like one? Because if that’s the reason, you are sadly mistaken. In 1946 Leo Fender crafted something called the Fender Precision Bass. It was supposed to relieve the bass player in the bands of that day from having to lug their double bass’s (or stand-up bass if you prefer)around to every gig, do you think that the double bass is a guitar? With the introduction of the electric guitar in the early 40’s by Gibson and Gretch, the ability to increase the stage volume left the bass player unheard. So, good old Leo thought he might create a bass that was more portable and one that could be amplified to keep up with the guitars. So, just because the electric bass LOOKS like a guitar it definitely is NOT.

        Changing the pickups may help. What kind do you have now? If they are single coil with 250k volume pot, you could replace the pot with a 500k. That will give you a little higher output. If they are humbuckers it probably already uses a 500k pot, in which case you could try a 1 Meg pot. I sell them all on my website, as well as pickups and control upgrades. http://www.has-sound.com

      I have a Yairi Gakki guitar, 1973, clase 9000, with what appears to be serial number 3816. label says handmade in Japan. This guitar was owned by my step-father, and after he passed away, my mother gave it to me for our kids to learn. Neither of them had any interest, so it is just sitting in its case in our house. I’d like to sell it, but have no idea of its value. It is beautiful, looks brand new (no marks). My stap-father passed away in ’86, so if he bought the guitar in ’73, its been very lightly used. Anyone have any thoughts on what its value might be? I’m planning on going to a local guitar shop, but thought I’d get some info before I go.

                thats very true, its no bedroom amp, it gets very loud before it breaks, when then there is no amp to touch it, if you need loud clean go for the AC30 then if you need overdrive stick a pedal in front of it, the Orange is the complete opposite.

      This may not interest everyone, but Nick is pictured on the cover of his album ‘bryter layter’ holding a guld m-20, and legend has it that this was his main guitar, but I have seen pictures in his songbook and other places where he has a totally different guitar – looks like at least a full size instrument, and one can see the logo of the mfr on the head, and in one shot one can see a serial number impressed on the end of the head. Unfortunately, the logo is too obscure to read, but it is definitely not a guild. Someone who had seen this logo before might be able to recognize it. Anyone have a clue as to what type of guitar it is?

      I am borrowing (and considering buying) a 77 or 78 fender mustang, and I have a problem. The floating bridge seems to float a little too much – it can sort of rock back and forth. The tremolo, for instance, causes both the tailpiece and the bridge to move forward. that seems like it would wreck intonation to me. is it missing a part or worn down or just made this way? thanks a lot for your help.

        : I am borrowing (and considering buying) a 77 or 78 fender mustang, and I have a problem. The floating bridge seems to float a little too much – it can sort of rock back and forth. The tremolo, for instance, causes both the tailpiece and the bridge to move forward. that seems like it would wreck intonation to me. is it missing a part or worn down or just made this way? thanks a lot for your help. Dave … yeah, remember a guy named Kurt, before the Foo Fighters, that had this very same problem. He even swore about it. Well, we have to patient & loving with our Mustangs. I had one and my daughter has one, also a Jagstang – almost the same. You are absolutely right in your questions. 50% of the Mustangs I have seen in the last 40 years have been missing parts. The other 50% are a little worn out, or have the parts altered or installed incorrectly and can be fixed. It is very common for players to turn their string bar upside down and "hardtail" them. But it is intended that the strings are inserted at the front of the bar, then wrap up & over heading towards the nut. Their tremolo is quite unique, and actually is not liked very well. I had to improve and construct a new one for the "Jag". You will have to remove the bridge and see what’s up. For sure the bridge plate needs tightening to the body, at the very least. Unlike stratocasters, this set up does not take very well to any form of adjustment. You could replace the trem springs and make sure they are being held properly. Then, just tighten everything up, especially the bridge to the wood. That string bar has to be just loose enough to rock, when you push or pull the arm. Mustangs & freeflyte tremolos do not keep intonation well. That’s just he way they are … but they’re not hopeless. Really … good luck. It’s great to see a Mustang that is playable, and doing what it’s supposed to… Strat Man Dwight

        1966,1969 one of those 2 years, i know one of that year in the UK would be around £2000- £2,500. being in its original case would help, also the finish has to be untouched, original wiring and all hardware increases value.

Is there any way I can get rid of the smear to leave a nice polished finish. I have used this polish on my Epiphone les paul with no problems. Thanks for any advice. Have you solved your problem yet? Is/was the smear mainly on the chrome-covered pickups or on the body itself, which is nitrocellulose lacquer? Gibson uses nitro and Epiphones use an acrylic, I think. Anyhow, the cause of your your smear was the natural oil in the Lem-Oil. There should be no harm done, with a few possible remedies for the situation. Also, in what condition is the finish on the 335? Now, I believe you can remedy the situation if all the facts are known. In the meantime, do not touch it with any more oils, especially those with a vegetable base and NO SILICONES which are in some guitar polishes. I’d gladly say "use this or that" but 10 guys might promptly disagree, and nobody has replied yet, so I see no need to cause a riot. I would try suggest something on a one-to-one basis, unique to your situation at this time, based on nearly 35 year’s experience with most finishes, metals and wood … with friends who are authors, authorities and actually wrote the book on guitar finishing. Sorry, this took so long. Strat Man Dwight

I assume you are referring to the serial number stamped on the neck plate. Even if numbered elsewhere, these are quite decent Squier Strats originating in National China. Nice thing about them is they have full depth bodies, and are solid Poplar, not laminates. I use them for testing modifications, and reviewed one of them with compliments on Harmony Central. They are circa 1994. Strat Man Dwight (Canada)

      Hi, I recently bought a pawn shop cheapy strat copy that I wanted to set up for slide playing, so I wouldn’t have to be retuning my good axe, a Les Paul. It turns out this this little cheapo no name brand or maker actually plays pretty damn good. Great action on a really cool feeling rosewood neck. The 3 single coil pick ups are pretty decent. And except for the crappy tuners, the guitar might be worth investing to upgrade it. I started getting curious and trying to find out more about the maker & year of this guitar. The logo on the headstock was scraped off by the previous owner, but it looks like it might be a Lotus or Aria brand. Everything about this guitar looks like an authentic Fener Strat except, obviously for the headstock design and the more I play it, the more I want to set it up with some better hardware and tuners. It kicks ass. Some advise on how to identify it? Thanks Robert

        If it is a Lotus you would be able to tell by the soft plastic covers on the pickups that get dirty easy, plus a thick neck and the truss rod adjustment has a cover. At least the Lotus guitars are not laminates. They are made of good wood but the electronics are pure garbage. The pickups aren’t that bad but the pots, switch and wiring are sucky. Buy what you want but know what you are buying unless it’s real cheap. I have fixed many a cheapy and anything can be made into a screamer but fixing up old stuff that is cheap is a habit that won’t die easily. Save and buy what you really want next time. A slide guitar has a higher action but you still want the quality you need. : Hi, I recently bought a pawn shop cheapy strat copy that I wanted to set up for slide playing, so I wouldn’t have to be retuning my good axe, a Les Paul.

        : A lot of Strat copies have been made by a lot of companies. If the Logo that was on it used an oil base ink, you may be able to see it still. A fine mist spray bottle can be filled with water and sprayed on the headstock. The water will not stay where the logo was because of the oily residue left behind, if the wood has not been scraped down too far. Look at the headstock from an angle in the light and you may be able to see where the logo was and what it said. Of course, dry the headstock real good as soon as you finish. With as many copies that have been made it will be difficult to identify it, unless you have a serial number and model number. I have an Arbor Strat copy that is like what you say about this one. Gave $39.00 for it new in 1990 at a flea market. It was supposed to be a blemished guitar, but I couldn’t find a blemish on it anywhere.

        press down on the pedal with your foot, under the pedal is a footswitch, you need to press firmly all the way forward to activate it, then you can use the control knob on the side to switch between the various pedal expression effects.

        You just said what model it is basically but the E stands for Eighty and the 3 is the year so it should be a 1983 Fender American Standard Strat. The hardware, neck plate etc. might determine it as a specific type of American Standard Strat. There are lots of types but with what info you have given it is about all anyone can tell without looking at it. Ask your local authorized Fender dealer. Make sure the person you talk to is authorized. Of course it may be a no brainer and it could be identified by most anyone in some cases. : I have an American made Fender Stratocaster(Creme body) that I bought used back in 1987.

        : It will add to the wear on it just as using it will, but it’s not "bad". If you need a tremolo sound you should get a tremolo effect. This will save on the wear of the wah and it will last longer.

          if you do wear out the pot inside the pedal you can easily get a replacement, they arent too expensive either, cant see anything else wearing out, they are built like sherman tanks. and the effect of rocking the pedal backwards and forwards quickly is a lot different to a tremelo effect, make sure you test the tremelo effect before buying.

        It sounds more like a 1984 model since Fender didn’t have an official deal with a Japanese contract til 1982. I could be wrong but that is what I read in a Fender book about the Stratocaster.

      Hi, I recently purchased a new laptop with win.xp operating system,and plenty of memory. It has a program called sonic stage installed on it. I am a complete novice with anything that has to do with music so bear with me on this. My husband finger picks a martin for leisure and is actually pretty good. I was wondering if there was a way to plug the jack he uses to hook to his amp. directly to the line in, or mic jack, to my lap so that we can record some of his music to a file and then burn it onto a dvd/cd. So the first question is what type of software if any is there for this type of application. Also, what type of converter would he need to hook to the end of his amp plug to make compatable to the jack on my laptop. I have read a few of the messages on this site that sound like they may be refering to the same type of question I am asking, but the answers are so technical I havent a clue to what it all means. Also what type of file format would you save the guitar recording to, so that it could be burned. Last but not least I saw a company on this site advertising a software program called "cake walk", would this be what I am looking for. I realize your answers will more than likely be over my head but if you give me a/b&c to follow I will have a starting point, and my husband can take it from there. Thanks so much for anyone who has the patience to reply.

        Hey Josh, Electric and acoustic guitar are two quite different instruments. It isn’t better to start with one of them. Just choose the instrument your feel most for. If that happens to be the electric guitar, as in my case, just start with that. Explorerfanatic

        When I got my first guitar,my mom told me to start on acoustic! She dragged me kicking and screaming to the music store."I wanna play electric music,darn it!!" So,she asked the guitar dude,"Shouldn’t he start on acoustic guitar?" The dude said,"WHY…I started on electric." I WAS BLESSED,man! As I matured a bit I slowly gravitated towards the acoustic.But I am an ELECTRIC player by nature…I grew up in the 70’s!

        I started on a fairly cheap acoustic and then moved to an electric (still fairly cheap) and I can catagorically say that electric is easier and your fingers will be extremely grateful. It’s just a lot easier to keep the strings down. You can then buy an amp with acoustic modelling (like the Roland Cube 30, which is very good and nice and cheap) and make your electric sound like an acoustic if that’s what you want (although not completely like an acoustic). I’ve been playing for about 6 months and have both and still play both but in my opinion the electic is easier and offers more versitility and more instant gratification. In the UK we have a TV channel dedicated to musicians and it has beginner, intermediate and advanced guitar shows on it that are very goood. The biggest problem I have is with Theory. I still can’t get my head around it but then I think I started a bit late (late 30’s). Best of luck, and have fun.

        Every single book out there will tell you. Cut your friggin nails.

Scratches are what add character, part of reality (nothing lasts forever). It’s a throw-away guitar anyhow (plastic back). Scratch it till it bleeds or has a Willie Nelson hole in it. What doesn’t show wear? Sex parts show wear even if you spit shine em. : Hi, I have a Standard Baladeer Ovation, made in the US.

          im with you Jorge, i think scratches add character to certain guitars, the only guitar i regulary polish is my Rickenbacker 360/V64, it a fireglow finish and its like glass, those ovations are too, he does need to cut those nails, never wear a jacket with a zip when playing as those zips can scratch the back of the guitar (although the ovations have plastic backs so thats the least of your worries). in short, if you love it then take care of it. and willies Trigger has a fantastic tone.

        Once Upon a Time in Mexico Theme This is the main theme from O’nce upon a time in Mexico’. It is taken from the title sequence as El Mariachi walks around dramatically playing his guitar… you know the one! Two guitars, although the second guitar doesnt come in until the middle section. The ending was made up to replace the horn section in the song.

        Well man, I love the guitar, and there is no doubting its diversity. But the fact that you are considering the cello must mean something. You do not say what kind of music you are into. Close your eyes and invent a tune in your head; does it suit bowing or plucking? There are squillions of guitar players out there. If you want to stand out, go the cello. Remember you can still use all kinds of effects and techniques. A cello/guitar duo works really well, as the cello can go as low as a bass guitar, but a lot higher, being tuned in fifths. You can pluck bass lines and still take moaning solos. You can also tune a bass guitar like a cello if you choose the right guages, and this is a great second instrument for a cellist. Whichever you choose, make the effort to get really great and you won’t regret it.

        : Marcus Berry makes an under bridge pickup that does a good job of reproducing the sound. I would get an "end pin jack" that replaces the strap button at the lower (south) bout of the guitar. There are several pre-amp units that plug into the jack and the cord plugs into the pre-amp. This would keep the guitar looking original and if you ever wanted to swap it in on another, you could remove the pickup, pre-amp, jack and leave no evidence of alterations to the eye. Then you could use them on the new one. The bridge will need to be cut down on the bottom to make room for the pickup, approx. 1/8th of an inch. If you swap it in later it will need to be replaced, but that is no big job to do.

      Dear GuitarMaster, Thought this might interest your newsletter readers: Whilst 12 string guitars have a beautiful sound thay may be difficult to play on some models compared to a standard guitar due to the extra six strings. A compromise is to remove the bottom three octave strings: E A D, to leave nine strings on the guitar. This facilitates easier playing whilst still maintaining a "chiming" sound and a full bass register. Do try it, you might like it. You can read more tips like this at: <a href="http://www.houlston.freeserve.co.uk">www.houlston.freeserve.co.uk</a&gt; Best wishes, Bob

        With all respect to Bob, I have to say that the whole thing about the 12 string sound is in the octave pairs. Strung as Bob suggests, you only end up with one octave pair (G). Another common variation is to take off the TOP 3 secondary strings. I like trying all kinds of configurations. Tuning a full tone low ( D G C F A D) is quite common and you can even get an octave on the second course (A) this way. With good picking technique you can hit just the string you want without its pair, and having the lower of each pair on the opposite side to standard gives the bass to the (downstroking) thumb and the treble to the (upstroking) fingers. You need the nut and bridge remodelled of course. Open tunings really rock on 12 strings. Slide on a specially set up 12 is also very cool for pickers. Some have tuned the pairs in fifths and other harmonies, but it’s pretty weird and limiting.

Since there a brand thats not heard of by many people there usually really cheap. And really nice guitars. But there electric. Well some are. Samick also makles acooustic. So.. whcihever you choose. For amps if you choose an electric, i personally like the Roland Microcube. It’s a little bit more, but its got everything. It has about 7 different sounds for different songs. And its got a built in tuner, and runs on batteries, or a cord. Ect… Um… but look around at different stores, try and find the nest deal. Hope I helped a bit. XoXoX

        Yamaha make consistently good guitars for beginners. Second hand guitars are often good value, IF you can spot a straight neck and an unwarped top. In learning, be aware that the first steps are the hardest, and don’t assume there is something wrong with you if your fingers just won’t do it straight away. You are looking at at least a year of regular practice before you start getting a good musical return for your effort. ( it’s worth it )

        I think applying theory to your problem will prove worthwhile, though a bit tedious at first. Learn how to read in open tuning, at least on the first five frets or so. Some tunes will require retuning to Dm ( DADFAD). Ligado ( hammers and pull-offs) proves very handy for speed without stress on the grace notes and fast bits. Most Celtic music can be played against a drone chord, so your thumb is keeping a beat on the low open strings while your fingers pick the melody on the high strings. Drawing up the D scale pattern on a long fretboard diagram for D tuning is really useful. Just work out where the notes from D major ( D E F# G A B C# ) occur along each string. Using this "map" and your ear, you can work out a lot of tunes pretty easily. Do a Google search for celtic "open D" to find heaps of stuff, including lots of tunes in dadgad tuning. ( D sus 4) Your last questiion is a bit confusing, and I’m not sure what you mean. You can play any melody in open tuning, but of course the fingering is different for a different tuning. I have heard some great slide guitar treatments of celtic tunes also. Exploring modes is also useful in open tunings.

        : Sand it down real good first. You don’t need to remove all the paint, just sand it all over to give the new paint some "fingers" to hold on to. Fill the dents and scratches with wood filler. Stuff the electronics cavities and the neck mortise with a wad of aluminum foil covered in plastic to keep the paint out of them. Buy a good brand of high gloss lacqure paint and a good gravity feed paint gun. Apply about 6-8 thin coats of paint, then 3-4 clear top hard coats and buff it out. If it is an American made guitar I wouldn’t do anything to it personally, as that will ruin any chances it has of becoming a valuable guitar in later years.

      I have an American made 1997 Stratocaster. I recently noticed that the edge of the "Skunk Strip" on the back of the neck has raised a little between the 8th and the 12th frets. It is only on one side of the strip. It is very slight but you can feel the edge of the strip when you run your finger over it. There is no seperation between the strip and the neck and it is not cracked. I had it looked by a certified Fender repair tech and he said it was nothing to worry about. If it got worse, Fender would replace the neck under warranty. Has anyone ever experienced this issue with a Fender Strat or Tele?

      Hi, I have a 90’s vintage Ibanez EX series guitar that I inherited from a friend. It must have been a cheaper version because it has absolutely horrendous machine heads. (Although it sounds perfectly nice, and I’d like to use it for a while) They are sticky and feel cheap. I’m wondering how tough it would be to just buy some grovers to replace them? Do I need to worry about the hole diameter? Do I need to worry about the screw placement on the back, or do I just tap a new screw hole wherever one is needed? Please advise. Thanks.

        Just take one off and take it to your friendly guitar shop. You should be able to find a good replacement set. Stay with the same hole diameter, but different screw placement is tolerable if the new holes are not too close to the old ones (which should be filled first; friendly hardware store will advise.) Don’t get too macho when screwing in the new screws.

        : Does anyone know how to build an ebow.How does it work? I can’t say how to buid one, but it is basically a fluctuating electro magnet. It involves a coil through which "noise" is being "played" at a high enough level to get the guitar strings moving. The signal in the coil can’t be just a note, or other notes wouldn’t get excited.

        You need to learn basic theory and apply it to the neck. It really isn’t too scary. The best place to start is to draw up a neck diagram ( like a long chord diagram ) showing all the notes in C, that is leaving out all sharps and flats. With this diagram in front of you, you can explore the neck and find bits you like to play. Any shapes you find in C will be useable in other keys by just playing them further up or down the neck. This is just a starting point for you. To draw up this diagram string by string, just remember that it is 2 frets from note to note except in the case of E to F and B to C where there is only a 1 fret difference. Along the E string for example, you will put a dot on the following frets; 0 1 3 5 7 8 10 12 13 15 0 1 is the E F semitone 7 8 is the B C semitone. all the other jumps are full tones. I hope this helps. Also there are books of scales and licks written in tab.

        If you could get hold of something like a Yamaha QY10 ( which is an old model, therefore not too expensive on ebay ) I think it would be excellent for you. You could quickly set up chord progressions and just play over drum and bass. Even a cheap old drum machine would be very helpful. There are also lots of virtual drum machines etc. for computer.

          Ebay will give you an idea of what you can sell it there but they do not represent the value of anything. Alot of price fixing and rip-off artists. Take it to a guitar show, antique guitar dealer, etc. Sure you can go to Ebay but Ebay doesn’t represent the collector community nor will it ever set the value of anything since most buyers do not really know what they are buying unless they are experts themselves. Alot of scams and made up stories so they are not a reliable place to value anything. They set up false buyers, feedback, etc. to create a false market at times. Some rip offs even conspire together to manipulate ebay market values in order to inflate the values of items. Ebay is not a reliable place to sell or buy unless it isn’t a true collector piece. A very few sell top notch collector’s items there. There may be a few but if you buy or sell in person you will always know what’s up if you do your homework. : I have one similar, a 64 model with some modifications.

      I’m failry new to this electrified guitar business and recently bought a Vintage Les Paul Special (made by vintage, not the original 1959 – I’m not that rich) and a Roland Cube 30. Both sound great but I had a real problem with intermittent buzzing through the amp. This got very loud but went away if I touched any metal part of the guitar. Whenever I took them back to the shop they both sounded fine. I did manage to get some popping on another amp and the shop completely re-wired my guitar for me (all new apart from the pickups) free of charge. I got it back and it sounded great….until…..the buzz came back. I found out what was causing it…….it’s the blasted dimmer switches in my house!!!! (a little embarrasing) I turn the lights on and it’s buzz city. Turn them off and everything sounds great again. Should the amp be that sensative? Is this a problem with the amp or do I need to re-wire my house (or just play in the dark)? Seriously, should the amp be that sensative? If not I’ll take it back and get another (same amp, because it’s fantastic) or is there any way I can ground the amp better?

        We had the same type of problem where we practiced. When the AC/Heating unit would come on everything we had buzzed. The electrical outlets of the room we was in were not grounded. So, I bought a grounding rod from a hardware store and drove it in the ground outside the window. Then I got all new recepticals for the wall outlets and enough 12 gage soild wire to go from one plug to the other. I ran the wire from plug to plug along the base boards and trim. At the plug next to the window I drilled through the edge of the window sill and ran it to the grounding rod outside whitch grounded all the plugs in the room. This was a great improvement, however, there was still some interference at times. We noticed that when my brother, the bass player, would turn just right it would quit and if he turned the other way it would increase. I bought a shielding kit for his bass and installed it and that took care of the buzz problem completly. If you know the ground is good in your room you may need to shield your guitar. The kits are not expensive and easy to do. : I’m failry new to this electrified guitar business and recently bought a Vintage Les Paul Special (made by vintage, not the original 1959 – I’m not that rich) and a Roland Cube 30. Both sound great but I had a real problem with intermittent buzzing through the amp. This got very loud but went away if I touched any metal part of the guitar. Whenever I took them back to the shop they both sounded fine. I did manage to get some popping on another amp and the shop completely re-wired my guitar for me (all new apart from the pickups) free of charge. I got it back and it sounded great….until…..the buzz came back. I found out what was causing it…….it’s the blasted dimmer switches in my house!!!! (a little embarrasing) I turn the lights on and it’s buzz city. Turn them off and everything sounds great again. Should the amp be that sensative? Is this a problem with the amp or do I need to re-wire my house (or just play in the dark)? : Seriously, should the amp be that sensative? If not I’ll take it back and get another (same amp, because it’s fantastic) or is there any way I can ground the amp better?

          You might also try using Beldon sheilded cords for your guitar, they are slightly more expensive but work well. Another reason may be fluorescent lights, the ballast in some fluorescent lights creates buzzing. Last, there can also be some feedback occurring through the guitar and bass pickups. As you mentioned the wiring and the potentiometers on dimmers switches don’t help.

            I noticed in the manual it actually says dont use on the same circuit as "vairable lighting". I borrowed a marshall amp and a washburn guitar and it did the sasme thing so it’s definately the electrics in my house rather than the amp. Will a shielded lead actually stop this as it sounds like the interferance is coming through the power lead of the amp.

              : They suggested looking on the internet for advice on shielding the guitar. :Shielding a guitar is very simple to do and the kits are relativly cheap. I belive I can walk you through it no problem. All the guitars I own are shielded and grounded (earthed). Guess I helped the makers of the kits earn a few buck…..lol. It’s easy, really.

                Can you suggest where to get the shielding kits from? I’ve looked (admittedly not very hard) and haven’t seen any. I noticed the evening that I can actually get it to buzz without even having the guitar attached. If I turn on the amp without plugging in the guitar and then hold the lead anywhere near a light or a dimmer switch (within about 3 ft) I can get it to buzz quite loudly.

              :Probably not, what you are more than likly hearing is called AC line noise and is usually caused by a faulty ground or earthing in the electrical wiring. Here is a simple test: If your amp has a three prong plug on it and the wall outlet is only a two prong type, then you need an adapter to plug it up, right? Ok on most adapters there is a metal loop or a wire with a metal clip on it, take a long enough wire to go from the wall outlet to a gas pipe or a water pipe, tie the wire tight to the pipe (a hose clamp or vicegrips is good here) and tie the other end to the plug adapter loop or wire. Pipes usually go into the ground at some point and this will make a temporary groung for the test. If the wall outlet is a three prong type and not grounded, connect the wire to the green screw on the back of the outlet. You will need to take the plug outlet out of the wall to do this, so be sure to turn off the electricity to that plug before removing the screws that hold it in the wall. If at all possible try to plug the amp into an outlet that is not on the same circuit as the lights, this is a problem with that kind of lighting. If you want to e-mail me I will explain in more detail how you can ground a few plugs and save some money on doing the whole house.

                I live in the UK, we only have 3 pin plugs and 3 pin sockets. everything has to be earched by law (nanny state and all that). I phoned Roland UK today and they said it’ll always happen if I have dimmer switches. They suggested looking on the internet for advice on shielding the guitar. I also phoned a large music store in Portsmouth and when I explained the symptoms, the first thing he asked was if I had dimmer switches in the room. All he could suggest was getting a lamp! Oh well……

                i cant be bothered reading through all this, but have you tried taking the amp to a studio and plugging it in? or a friends house? at least you could rulle out the lighting/noisey AC outlet.

          Thanks. I’ll get the electrics checked out. the house is 1920’s and I’ve no idea when it was last re-wired so it could well be earthed badly.

      Many players over pay for quality guitars. There are small shops in the United States which are happy to create instruments of high quailty with great value points. Of course, Falk Guitars is one of them. See falk guitars in the GuitarSite.com Makers Database. Manufactured guitars are a general compromise between the practicality of production techinques and profit. Contrast that with the attention of quaility found in the handmade guitars and you will hear and feel the difference. More time and attention to the sound board produces better dynamics and greater playability.

        I agree. I recently purchased a Timothy McKnight acoustic that he made using the Martin D28 Pattern and I must say there is no comparison to The manufactured Martin D28. My McKnight guitar plays clean cand crisp all the way up the fretboard and has tremendous bass and sustain. Check out mcknightguitars.com

          That’s good. I’m happy to see other players that hold this value. I suppose the cost of the guitar was much less than that of the Martin. Other players need to get the word about quality privately made brands to help support the McKnights and Falks of the world. That’s for the comments. Dave : I agree.

      Despite playing a long time, I’m unable to master the various techniques for getting really nice vibrato. Any advice? Is there anywhere on the web with good advice on this?

        Using too much pressure to fret the note will make it difficult to get good vibrato. The position of the left hand thumb is also important in providing a pivot point.

        A nice vibrato starts in the wrist.Some guys tend to push the string up and down using their elbow.Thats O.K…but I’ve found that by twisting your wrist left to right is much more expressive.I call it a waggle. For deeper vibratos I just hold the note and pull the string DOWN/UP. Don’t rely on your bicepts…it’s way too stiff. It’s difficult to verbaly describe the technique.Get some film footage on B.B. King or Albert Collins.B.B.’s soulful vibrato is what made him famous in the world of blues-men! Hope this helps

        The Trini Lopez models, Standard and Deluxe, were manufactured from 1964 to 1971. Serial numbers between 897000 and 898999 were made in the year 1967. The serial no. you give here shows it to be a ’67. : I have a Gibson Trini Lopez serial no. 898131, but don’t remember what year the guitar is.

        Telecasters are more of a country guitar as they have a cleaner sound and Strats are more for rock. This is not definite though, it depends on the personal choice of the player. : what is the difference between strats and telecasters?

          wouldnt you say the strat is better for the softer side of rock? certainly a great blues guitar, and it too has its place in country sound, same goes for the telecaster, they both have their unmistakable sound and qualities, but hard rock/ heavy rock? surely thats where the Gibson comes in, humbucker pick ups driving a valve amp, thats heavy/hard rock.

            :Yes, I would and I agree, but to a point though. When invited to play with a band, I ask for a copy of the set list they will be using and what their guitarist will be playing. If it’s for hire at a studio, I ask for a little back ground info on the type of music to be played, what guitars are being used and the person I’m playing for. Then I will select the guitars to take with me. This way my sound can be distinguished from the others and I’ll have a better idea of what is expected of me. You are right, Gibson’s are great guitars for heavy/hard rock, I have several. Personally, I don’t want to sound just like the other guitarist, or any other guitarist for that matter. Nor do I want to sound better than any of them. I only want to lend my ability, style and sound to what’s being played for the sake of the music. Besides, it’s all about the music, so diversity and the ability to adapt to what’s needed is paramount. wouldnt you say the strat is better for the softer side of rock? certainly a great blues guitar, and it too has its place in country sound, same goes for the telecaster, they both have their unmistakable sound and qualities, but hard rock/ heavy rock? surely thats where the Gibson comes in, humbucker pick ups driving a valve amp, thats heavy/hard rock.

            That depends on what I’m going to play. If it is a straight up country sound, the Telecaster. If it is a soft-medium rock sound I may use either, the mood of the song and chords used would decide which. Hard rock or metal, the Strat. I have one of each and use both, again depending on the venue I’m playing. Some times the Tele delivers what I’m looking for even though the sound is hard rock because of it’s tonal qualities and vice-versa. I have done a lot of tweaking to them so they will perform to my needs. : pookster, which one do you prefer? : : : what is the difference between strats and telecasters?

      HI i just built a pedal board im running a rotovibe,crybaby,yngwie malmsteen dod od pedal a tubescreamer and a compressor. powered by a signalflex dc adaptor when i switch on the yngwie pedal the hum is INSANE and i noticed when i have the effects hooked up it screws the natural tone of my amp up its a hot rod deluxe…please please help the hum is crazy

        Possible solutions: Make sure your power supply is regulated ( I don’t know about signalflex ) and provides enough amperage. Total up the amperage of the pedals and compare with the power adaptor rating. Make up a patch lead that has the earth disconnected at one of the plugs, and try it on the input or output of the yngwie. Too many earth points cause an "earth loop" which acts like an aerial picking up interference from transformers etc. Have your power supply (and amp) at a distance from the pedals, and don’t run mains power leads near signal leads. Use high quality leads. Most distortion pedals are noisy, and compression makes it worse. If it’s just as noisy running on batteries, the problem is harder to fix. A good techie can quieten some pedals down by upgrading the capacitors. If the noise is in the pedals themselves it usually wouldn’t sound like hum, more like surf. Pedals sure can screw your amp tone. You might consider having true bypass mods done on the pedals.

        Somewhere along in 1953, when solid body guitars began, Gibson started to ink-stamp the ID numbers on the back of the headstock. They were 5 or 6 digit numbers and the first number designates the last digit of the year it was made. The rest of the numbers are production numbers and run in consecutive order. They used this system until 1961. The number you list is, 0 7774. This would mean it was made in 1960 and was the 7,774th one in production. : HI CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YEAR THIS LES PAUL JUNIOR I HAVE IS..SERIAL NUMBER..0 7774…IT WAS GIVEN TO ME BY MY SISTER IT BELONGED TO MY LATE BROTHER IN LAW HE WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER…MY SISTER TOLD ME IT WAS A 1959..BUT IM NOT SURE..IF YOU CAN HELP ME I WOULD BE GREATFUL…THANK YOU
