    Hi ive had my tanglewood sg since xmas now and its definately sounding better than my other guitar and picks up the sound better. but however some songs like the solo in miracle man are impossible to play whether its the way my guitars set , pickups or my amp but i just cant play paterns like that as i just get loads of string noise or feedback which just builds up to one big noise 🙁 . id much appreciate any replies or suggestions of how i cud lesson some of this noise while im trying to play 🙂 . the amp ive got at the mo is only a zoomfire-30 (has all the wah effects etc on it) also ive been wanting a marshall so bad but theres just so many to choose from ive no idea where to start lol 😯

      thanks for the replies 😛 get there eventually lol ill just have to keep tryin everythin , the whoile reason i puit 9’s on really was becos 10’s where harder to move but i got the string noise even worse with them . plus tryna do a bend with them was hell had to put more effort in and most of the time ure finger would just slip off and cause loads of noise :/

      I once worked in an office for BT, and i offrered to make the tea and i asked everyone what they was having, there was an girl called Jhoti who said i’d like a cup of tea, i said how many sugars? and she said 6 1/2, as if the 1/2 makes any difference!
      You are not going to try and tell me theres a big difference between 9 1/2 and 10’s are you?
      Pull the other one it’s got 10 Rothmans on it.
      I have a Strat which has 10’s and i broke the 10 E string on it, couldn’t find a replavement set of 10’s so i just took of the broken string and replaced it with a 9, lots of people have played it, and nobody notices the difference.

      Quick easy soloution? put the 10’s back on, but were they 10-48’s? or 10-52’s? you can also get a ‘Heavy bottom’ set.
      Lower your bridge to the amount you raised it to, and you have your guitar back in it’s original setup.

      ah i see, i changed from guage 10 to 9 few weeks back, 10’s are hard on the fingers lol, ive raised the bridge a little then retuned my guitar, its helped a little but ive noticed that certain settings on my amp change the feedback too, for some reason when i put it to metal theres not as much lol but that channel sucks for solos :/

      Dont know where your nuts are, but mine are nowhere near my guitar strings. 😆

      Action is set by raising or lowering the bridge, but its not as easy as just moving it up and down, there is truss rod adjustment to made too.
      A recent string change to a heavier or lighter gauge can cause action problems.

      Could it be that the action is set too low?
