      my husband is making flattop guitars and mandolin family instruments, his company is Cohen Muscial Instruments, CMI. we’re in richmond, va. his instruments are acoustically superior to just about anything out there.

      i’m updating his website soon to showcase all the instruments he’s making and has available.

      Depending on which Kahler you have, it will vary. As far as the flat-mount, probably the most popular Kahler, there are 3 screws on each saddle. Turn the little tiny allen-screw that is closest to the roller to adjust the height. Also, the other allen screw on the other side of the philips screw will need to be adjusted. It seems complicated, but it really isnt. Kahlers are (or were, in my opinion) the best tremelos out there. Keep on rockin!

      I bought a Kent hollow body a couple of years ago. It has a natural wood finish, bound fingerboard, which a I think is rose wood, and pearloid position markers. I have always wondered about it, and would also apriciate any information about Kent Guitars. Web site??? By the way the thing has a sort of cool sound, in a cheap way.

      I recently purchased a Kent Guitar but can’t find much info about it. Do you know of a site on the web or elsewhere where I can find out about mine?

      this is fo anybody who needs fret spacing.

      get the legnth from the nut to the bridge and devide that number by 17.817mm
      the first fret should be around 30mm or more

      You are after a clean sounding amp with heaps of tonal variation. Heaps of Power to boot. But only clean sounds. Read on. This amp has no distorted sounds at all, but the clean tones are better than eny fender twins etc., could ever be.
      I don’t know a great deal about the canadian market/ prices etc. I live in Australia.
      Generally speaking everything is the U.S. is about half the cost of over here, which balances out when you see the currency exchange rates.
      I have a really old Yamaha from the early seventies, which has the most incredible clean tones you can imagine. The amp has far more adjustment allowances as far as the Bass, Mid, Treble settings go, than most other amps. Still passive controls but they make a lot of difference.
      Over here it cost 50 so around 00-50 U.S.
      It is the old Grey vinyl covered 100 watt twin with 12"speakers. Green cloth front. Not the prettiest amp to look at if you are after the standard Black type look. But the sound is amazing, and over here at least they ain’t too rare. I have seen 2 for sale in the last 12 months. ( I own 2, one which I use on stage the other is a back up just in case) It has a built in Tremolo circuit which can be switched over to waw waw sound ( Yamahas’ version af an auto wah). You can switch this on with a footswitch but you can’t control the speed of the wah sound. It is something you pre-set. and then it remains constant. Kinda like the old surfie music trem / wah sound.
      It is large enough to use on stage and small/ light enough not to be a complete pain in the ass to carry around. The size of a typical 2×12 combo. And bloody loud! Even at full drive it is crystal clean but has a tonne of sustain.
      The only let down with it is that there is no Second channel, The tone is always clean. so you don’t have a high Gain tone, or any distorted tone for that matter. But getting a decent clean sounding amp is far harder to obtain than it is to find a decent distorted amp.
      You can put a distortion pedal in front of any amp and get a decent dirty tone. But there is no way of cleaning up an amp which is always muddy.
      If you are looking to get a good clean sounding amp, check around to see if there is one of these going that you can try out. It is in the price range. But the fact that it ain’t a Marshall or a fender is the only reason I can see that it isn’t priced as high as some of my other Amps are. It performs really well in the studio for everything from Super clean Country to Pop Ballads and with an effects processor in line you can get all the classic Marshall tones, Soldano, Fender, Vox etc.
      I also use an 87 Marshall, a 61 Vox ac-30 top boost, and my other favourite is an 83 Roland Bolt 100. If you want clean tones avoid Older Marshalls like a Plague coz they never sound clean when you crank them, and it is hard to get a 2 or 3 channel Marshall to balance out from channel to channel volume wise. The cleaner tones are always lacking the power of the Dirty channels, and as such you can’t drive them to the full extent you really need to in order to get the valves really cooking.

      Hi- I found this place by throwing darts into cyberspace so I hope someone can help or point me to:
      I need at least one machine head (for low E)for one of my 1976 Ibanez Explorers. It has a Silver Star on a black dot on the back of the base of these. While you are at it can I also get a new bridge and stop tail piece that is for the same guitar? Thank you for your help!

      : If your’e in the uk try

      : http://www.loot.com for second hand guitars,
      : you could probably get a nice Gibson Les Paul Junior or Studio for ~£400 – i.e. what you’d pay for a new Epiphone Gold top (though these do get good reviews). Note that real second hand gibsons will sell for what you paid for them.
      : Personally I like hand made British Guitars like Gordon Smiths and Patrick Eggles that offer coil tapping, etc.

      : For reviews of guitars try http://www.harmony-central.com via their guitar database.

      : : I’ve been looking at an Epiphone Les Paul Goldtop and have heard that the alnicoV P-90 pickups are better than the P-100’s, Is this true??
      : : What are the qualities of this guitar, and which other guitars do you recommend in the same price bracket??

      : I want to replace one of my 4ohm 15" speakers with 4 8" 32 ohm speakers. If I wire the 8"ers parallel, that should get them to 4 ohm. I’m just fishing here, so if I’m way off the mark please let me know. I’m also not exactly sure what the difference between a series and parallel wiring is. Thanks

      If you wire 4 32 ohm speaker in parallel you will produce an 8 ohm load.
      To wire in parallel you connect all speaker grounds to ground and all hots (positives) to the positive
      each time you connect to speakers in parallel the impeadance (ohms) is cut in half.
      two 32 ohm speakers wired in parallel will produce a 16 ohm load. add two more wired in parallel will produce a 16 ohm load. Put the two
      16 ohm loads together and you get 8 ohms.
      In a series you will connect the hot (postive) to the positive of the first speaker, then connect to
      ground (negative) of that speaker to the hot of the next speaker and connect that speaker to ground.
      This produces a doubling of the impeadance ( ohms ) two 32 ohm speaker wire in series will produce
      a 64 ohm load. 4 in series will produce a 128 ohm load.

      Hope this infomation will help you.

          :CMI stands for Chicago Music Industries Ltd. This company BOUGHT GIBSON in 1957. Yes,…shocking isn’t it. Gibson was later bought by NORLIN. These facts are tracable on the internet, but there is very little info on CMI guitars. If you have a CMI guitar you may have a great guitar…you may not. As these guitars don’t rely upon their label..they have to stand up on their own merits. I have a CMI Strat in natural, built late 70’s early 80’s I think No serial number. No records found. This guitar is a 70’s Stratocaster copy..(built by a company that owned Gibson..that’s ironic eh?)and I love the neck on it. It has the old 70’s style large headstock, with the bullet trusrod. It has a varnished maple board. I recently got rid of a USA strat ’cause I never played it. (Prefer my Patrick Eggle Berlin Pro)The USA model had texas special pickups and sounded okay. This CMI has old alnico pickups with staggered poles and they sound great. I will keep this guitar. I have so far had to re align the neck and I will need to do a complete refret on it because it has had so much use. It was in a real dirty condition when I bought it but it has cleaned up okay. The body has many small dings but structurally it is sound. The pickup selector switch is a 3 way. I may change that for a 5 way because I am missing out on some extra sound options. This guitar has a brilliant sound to it. I am really surpised. By the way, I am an ex pro guitarist and have now been playing over 30 years. I may not be brill butI know a good sound when I hear it. Any one with further info please submit follow up or email me direct. Anyone selling a CMI, contact me first.

      thanks for the digidesign tip. i had the same exact question. Does anybody know of a website or newsgroup devoted to trading/discussing home recordings?

      : Note you can download ProTools Lite FREE!!! from http://www.digidesign.com – it has 8 tracks of audio, 48 tracks of midi and EQ, Compressor, Delay, Modulation, etc.

      : I have the same Cubasis that came with SBlive platinum but don’t use it because it didn’t save sounfonts with project files, was bugged and the user interface and company support was poor.

      : I personally use Cakewalk Homestudio 9 which is beautifully intuitive and stable – unlike the Stienberg stuff. It also has really good newsgroup support – which is invaluable and can support dozens of freeware DirectX plugins (and VST plugins with VST Wrapper). You can control virtual synths through loop backs drivers though CPU overload can be a problem.

      : The more expensive Cubase lets you use synths as plugins (VST2) though with SBlive the latency is poor.
      : I have a page about recording at
      : http://members.tripod.com/acmerock/shush_recording/shush_studio.htm

      :
      : : Which is the best sequencing software for guitar based recording with a few drum loops and syths thrown in. I have SB Platinum and Cubasis VST. Is this a good package to start out on? Pro Tools are supposed to be good aren’t they?

      I just got my first Jackson Dinky Rev. and along with it came the Floyd Rose locking tremolo. It took me quite a while to figure out how to tune the damn thing(and even longer to replace my strings!!!!!), but soon I found out how to do it. You have to tune your guitar three times in order for it to sound perfect. But, whats great about this system, are the locks at the top of the neck. So, as long as you dont bend the hell out of your strings too horribly much, it will stay in tune for al least a few days. I couldn’t be happier with this system.

      nobody gave you the right answer, you would mute the string with your finger if there was an x written on it. when the tab looks the way you displayed it, you are supposed to pluck both strings at the same time with your picking hand.

      The Ibanez S series is a beautiful guitar. It produces well in the studio and at live shows. It stays in tune and holds notes exceptionally well. The only thing you must keep in mind when buying this guitar is the floyd rose. I find it very limiting when trying to experiment with different tunings and very frustrating when it’s time to change strings. If you think you have the patience to deal with the floyd rose, this guitar should satisfy any guitar player’s needs.

      I’ve played the ESP’s and in my opinion the Ibanez S series KILLS them. I play an s470 which is a pricier model than what you are looking at (it’s worth it).

      The reason I love Ibanez guitar is becaus of the articulation and clarily in the notes. every other guitar sounds fuzzy to me.

      Go for it! I recommend the Seymour Duncan Little ’59, I installed one on My MIM standard Strat, and it sounds great. The stock Neck and Middle pickups were fine, but the Bridge PU was thin sounding – as it is on most Strats, but the Little ’59 really pumps up the sound with a strong tone that has a lot of vitality to it. Plus, it didn’t lose that nice inbetween "Quack" tone with the Brige/Middle Pickups on together, it still sounds like a Strat should – it just has more bottom end punch and volume now. I think Fender should make this the standard Bridge pickups for ALL their Strats, it’s perfect for these guitars. I like the fact that It fits in the standard pick plate, so it doesn’t look like a Fat Strat, very stealthy!

      With the LTD and Ibanez you are talking about two very low end guitars. They will both sound like junk.

      : Which would be better as far as sound, durability, and quality, an Ibanez RG270, or an ESP LTD MH-100 ?
      : They seem to be very close in the set up, except for the pickups. Which would have better pickups, the ibanez or ESP?

      To keep the floyd rose bridge in good shape, the saddles should be cleaned with a Q-tip
      to keep gunk from building up. To keep a good guitar sound, strings should be cleaned
      with lemon oil, the the bridge should be lubricated with vaseline. When you change strings,
      you should put some playing cards under the bridge to keep it from moving out of a parallel
      position. The best Floyd Rose is one that is in parallel position

      you can run a compression pedal IN FRON TOF an overdrive or distortion pedal. OR you can but a "comptortion" pedal, which combines the two already for you. The trick to using a compressor is finding the right amount WITHOUT over doing it. Too much creates alot of noise ( esp at high volumes) – the right amount adds tons of sustain, and individual notes stand out much more clearly.

      The value of your guitar depends a whole lot on the condition. But a 1969 Gibson SG does have some value. If there is any refinishing or other modifications it will seriously decrease the value. I would estimate a few thousand dollars. To get a better idea pick up a copy of Vintage Guitar Magazine, it is a very good resource. Also check Ebay, as that will tell you what people are actually paying for them right now.

      : I have a sweet 1969 Gibson SG. It’s woodgrain finish and original hardware and electronics with the exception of the tailpiece – it was changed to a BadAss (works well). Thanks guys.

      i really appreciate your time, however, i tried using sound recorder and it will work with a microphone and a harmonica, but i can’t get the quitar to work. yes i know the cord and everything works, and i’ve tried revalver, total recorder, and a couple other free downloads. nothing lets me hear the guitar while i’m playing, like an amp. recording is less important than playing for this particular purpose. once again, i appreciate any hints you might have….

      Hi.. I’ve been using an L-500 for about 4 years (in a Washburn N4). I’ve found the L-500 to be capable of producing a wide range of sound. I play mostly blues (SRV, clapton) and when the mood takes me a bit of black sabbath, malmsteen. I play through a Fender M80 amp and think that with the right set up the L-500 should be able to give you the type of sound you are looking for.

      Hope this helps :o)

      I don’t have a gt3, but in my opinion, pedals are the better way to go depending on the sound you are after. I used to be into the processor thing but I got really tired of the "processed" sound. So, I completely abandoned my processors, (I still have them though), and bought stompboxes. It was a very good change. The tones sound much more real than a processed tone, and pedals are so much easier to use! Do whatever feels right to you, but at least give both world’s a try before making your decision.

      Is it a real ’77 American Tele or a ’77 Reissue Tele. If it is a reissue then that is a fair price, but if it is a real ’77 then please buy it as fast as you can!!! Even though the better part of the 70’s were the CBS years that is still a great guitar, and a great deal.

      Jackson guitars were really popular in the mid 80’s and early 90’s with the heavy metal bands. They are good guitars but are made mainly for rock simply because of their pickup configuration. They are the parent company for Charvel, which I believe are not made anymore. But, in any case it’s a good rock n’ roll guitar. They are still pretty popular but not as much as they were.

      The current range of Marshall distortion pedals (Guv’nor, Bluesbreaker 2, Jackhammer) are
      transistor, not valve powered. That said, the Guv’nor and the Bluesbreaker are very good
      indeed. The Guv’nor is more versatile, with a comprehensive EQ stack. Mesa do a couple
      of highly regarded valve based distortions,

      A bit more nifo would help. Well made guitars rthat reached their peak popularity in the mid-late 80s. Steve Vai played them for a while, as did loads of metal-type players. I think – and I may be talking absoltue rubbish here – that they were the upmarket product fo the same company that made Charvels.

      " break up" easily anyway.So I have a good clean sound
      with the 550’s.Actually,I’m using the Rythym pickup of

      Eddie G,
      Do you have any experience with the 450’s? Also, do the 500’s seem to be "perma-bright" as in they sound really bright, and when you roll back the tone or treble, just sound like shit instead of darkening some? What sort of wood is the body of the axe they’re in? Because that would have some effect for their brightness, too.

      I use that sound quite a bit. If you have seen them, you will notice that Rich Robinson uses a telecaster with a Gibson PAF in the neck position. Keith Richards also used this setup. I built one like it with a brand new American Standard Telecaster, and I put a Seth Lover PAF reissue by Seymour Duncan in the neck position, and a little tele ’59 also by Seymour Duncan in the bridge position. Next use the open G tuning (D,G,D,G,B,D). This gives the trademark Crowes rythm sound. I use a Marshall JCM 900 Dual Reverb, and that does a real good job of getting that sound. A Fender Twin Reverb might get a little closer, but I prefer the Marshall. Also, keep in mind that Jeff Cease played a standard E tuned Les Paul, and played different versions, or complimentary rythms to Chris, so this added quite a bit of thickness to their sound. Jeff also played the leads. In order to get their sound with one guitar player, most of the leads have to be transposed so you can play them in open G tuning. Some may be impossible to duplicate in that tuning. Good luck… Great choice for sound….

      for distortion my suggestion is to go for a pedal that has an acutal TUBE in it. These pedals will cost more but give great sound and sustain. My favorite is the one from Matchless–these guys make some of the best amps in the world so their pedal are KILLER!! Other companies that have a tube dist pedal are Marshall, Ibanez, and a few others. For Chorus I like the Danalectro Cool Cat. As a general rule, DOD and BOSS are up there with the "good-but-cheap" pedals. I don’t think I’d mess with the Yamaha pedals or any of those other cheapie brands. The only Ibanez pedal I like is the Tube Screamer…not a real tube but a nice distortion pedal. Have fun!

      : out of this amp,It seemed like it had more crunch
      : when I frist got the amp,Its only 9 months old.
      : does anyone have any suggestions?

      Replace your old dead strings with some good bright ones. This will change your sound alot. Good luck.

        : : have you tried re-tubing your amp? i also have a jcm 2000 dsl 401 and after about a year it sounded flat so i put all new groove tubes in it and it made a really big difference in the output as well as tone. it’ll cost you over $100.00 though, good luck !!

      Hmm.Bill Lawrence L-500’s are very hot,bright and nasty! You could probably get the Randy Rhodes(R.I.P)
      sound with those.But the powerful Alnico magnets in them maybe too bright for blues.So watch your tone control.L-500’s distort very easily.
      Hope this helps
      P.S. Might try the Seymore Duncan SH-5,CLASSIC TONE,but
      MEAN at high volumes.

        I asked a previous question about Lawrence pick-ups when I wasn’t so sure about their history. I see that there is alot of commotion between Bill Lawrence(.com) and Stew-Mac…. I was informed by an employee at Stew-Mac and I have researched billlawrence.com…. What I have found is that there is no person named Bill Lawrence(that sells lawrence pick-ups). Bill Lawrence is a licenced trade name. The company was formed by Willi Stich & E.C. Waczman… These two guys were "Bill Lawrence." Both Lawrence pick-ups are built to exact spesifications by Stew-Mac and Bill Lawrence, which are precise to the originals made by both guys. The pick-up builders at Stew-Mac and at Bill Lawrence were part of the original group as well. Willi Stich came back in 1996 to build pick-ups again as a small business called "Bill Lawrence." That’s why it’s confusing and hard to believe that both companies are the original makers. However, the best advice given to me and that I’m giving out to you; is that your best bet is to try both Lawrence L-500’s from Stew-Mac and Bill Lawrence, and pick out your favorite. Since they aren’t build exactly by the same person, the two will sound different from each other. Thanks for reading….

      I use normal delay pedals from electric gear to get some funky sounds. You can pretty much use any electric effects on acoustic it’s just a matter of experimenting.

      : Ok, are there any acoustic specific pedals out there…or multi-effect units made specifically for the acoustic guitar- something that will not just enhance the sound but actually have some fun sounds to work with? Also, does anyone know of any effect that will change the tuning of a guitar (for example, open g)? Thats something I could really use as well. Thanks.

      In your situation, I think the best choice would be something like the Peavey Classic 30. It is a great sounding tube amp and will have plenty of power to be heard over a loud drummer. You can probably find a good used one for a pretty reasonable price.

      : i am currently building a guitar in a science class. i cant find anything about fret spacing. can you help me out?
      : thanks gerald
      I didn’t build my own neck, and I’m not going to for this one either, I will for my next one, however. The 12th fret should be 1/2 of the way down the neck, and the fifth fret is 1/4 of the way down the neck. The trick is, according to Mr. Wyza’s faq (http://members.aol.com/wyzagtr/wyzagtr/docs.htm)
      that there is a rule of 17.82, the space for the first fret is your scale divided by 17.82. The space for the next one is 17.82 times your remaining scale (i.e. 25" scale, 1st fret is 1.4", the second one would be (25-1.4)=23.6/17.82, etc. I would recommend getting that FAQ, by the way, LOTS of information.

      I have a 6 string Regal guitar that I beleive is from the 1930’s. It has been in the family since before I was born. It has a short, 12 fret neck, spruce top and oak sides and neck. It is in perfect shape and has beautiful mellow tone. I play it every day. The emblem says: "Regal, made in chicago" Any ideas what its worth or where it came from?

      here is the most likely answer.
      Effects processor that most likely is a tube driven.
      here is the more important key.

      in large concerts sutch as jimmy page and the black crows live at the greek record they usally plug straight into the drop box or snake and run that to the mixer board. then using a horizontal row on the board they mix in the effects. they can still controll them ffrom the stage if they want and run the guitar effects line thruogh a direct box back to the stage to the processor or the single effects unit and thruogh another direct box back to the mixer and thus create a shake yo money maker or all my lovin tone

      : : I love that tone that the band gets on all of their albums but especially on that one. I want to start a band that has that kind of guitar tone. Sweet solos and rythm. Please help, so far all I have is a fender reissue twin reverb and an original mesa boogie mark 1.I also have a handful of pedals. Should I mess around with rack effects or processors? I reall y want that vintage tone so Im imagining Ill have to stay away from digital gear. I gues Im going through that phase every guitar player goes though for their search for tone. Im just straight out confused about where to start. Would really apreciate the help, thanx. Will

      : Not sure, except to say that processors are almost certainly out. I think they plugged straight into amps, in the old fashioned style. They probably got most of the tone by playing the amps way up, to drive the output valves rather than use the master volume circuitry to get the overdriven tone. I would have thought they’d have used Marshalls, but I don’t know for sure. Also bear in mind there’s at least one guitar there playing open-tuned – probably open G – the way the Stones played in the early 70s. For what its worth, though, I heard the following story a while ago. There was a guy who was a great fan of an English guitarist by the name of Hank Marvin. Hank had a very distinctive tone which some people love and others don’t. I’m in the latter category which is irrelevant but I need my credibility intact. Anywya this fan struggled for ages to get Hank’s tone, buying loads of gear and everything. Finally he was lucky enough to meet Hank at a gig, and noted down the exact settings of all Hank’s gear so he could recreate it at home. Result – he sounded still sounded like himself. Each to their own, but I’d suggest you get close and then do your own thing from there.

      I know it was made in 1993 but would like to know more…What series? (delux, standard, etc.) and questions like that.

      The guitar has a unique set of machine heads (tuners) and nut that I havent seen before. The tuners ARE Fender made but I just haven’t seen them before…the nut has little bearings instead of a flat metal, bone, plastic or wood piece.

      ANY info would be helpful.

      Yes, there is a difference. Maple is a very hard, dense wood. It will have a brighter tone and it will feel a little different than a rosewood fretboard. Also, unlike rosewood, maple must be finished. Rosewood is a softer wood and doesn’t need to be finished which is why it has a warmer, softer tone. I have Strats with maple and rosewood necks and there is a difference.

      Are you sure you want a distortion pedal for your acoustic/electric? The pickup is not the same as an electric pickup. But, out of all of the pedals, I would suggest the Boss Blues Driver. It will give you that dirty tone you may be looking for.

      No, it will not play by itself. The head is just the amplifier. It requires a speaker cabinet to transform the amplified guitar signal into audible sound. On a combo amp, the amplifier and speaker are in one box,"combination of amp and speaker". An amp head is only a detatched part of a combo amp.

      : : Everything’s worth what people are prepared to pay for it – guitar’s are no exception to that capitalist principle, I’m afraid. What prices are othere stores in your area asking for similar instruments. Here in the UK prices can vary a reasonable amount in different areas, depending on the number of places you can get hold of gear, and the number of active bands/musicians around. If I convert that asking price to Sterling it would be fair price, but I don’t know about where you are.

      : Sounds like a very fair price. MAKE SURE it’s original and American made. It will say so.

      I like the responce from the guy in the UK, you will pay more for guitars in New York or Nashville than you will in a rural area, And like he said make sure it is a 1977 and that it is original, good luck

It is also made in the USA. Everything original. Would someone tell me if I’m paying too much. Thanks. Oh yea I’m buying it at a music store.

      699.00 is about top buck in my opinion, Hope its nice. the book price is actually higher than that, BUT keep in mind those books are made by polling dealers. And dealers always jack it up, like they say let the buyer beware. And this really gos for the guitar stuff, in my 30+ years doing this I only met 4 honest dealers my advice is try to get it for 00. but 699 isnt real bad. I might bite on that one too. but no higher. Hope I helped you

      : hey all,

      : i was hoping somebody might be able to help me out on this. i am thinking of getting a new guitar that is easier for me to play. i have a strat and i find that the neck is just a tad too big for my small hands. i was wondering what types of guitars are better for individuals with smaller hands. i usually see female guitarists using telecasters…are they generally known to have smaller necks? thanks.

      It depends how much you want to spend, but you might consider the Bonnie Raitt signature strat which has a slimmer neck than a standard strat.

What prices are othere stores in your area asking for similar instruments. Here in the UK prices can vary a reasonable amount in different areas, depending on the number of places you can get hold of gear, and the number of active bands/musicians around. If I convert that asking price to Sterling it would be fair price, but I don’t know about where you are.

      Sounds like a very fair price. MAKE SURE it’s original and American made. It will say so.

      : I have a Gibson flying V guitar (1983), with stock Gibson pickups. I thought about finding a compressor or overdrive pedal to give more boost. Even when I turn the gain all the way up, I find that my notes die out too soon when I”m bending strings during solo playing. I’m thinking about putting higher-output pickups in my guitar, perhaps EMG’s 81’s or an 85. Does anyone have a suggestion out there?

      : I love that tone that the band gets on all of their albums but especially on that one. I want to start a band that has that kind of guitar tone. Sweet solos and rythm. Please help, so far all I have is a fender reissue twin reverb and an original mesa boogie mark 1.I also have a handful of pedals. Should I mess around with rack effects or processors? I reall y want that vintage tone so Im imagining Ill have to stay away from digital gear. I gues Im going through that phase every guitar player goes though for their search for tone. Im just straight out confused about where to start. Would really apreciate the help, thanx. Will

      Not sure, except to say that processors are almost certainly out. I think they plugged straight into amps, in the old fashioned style. They probably got most of the tone by playing the amps way up, to drive the output valves rather than use the master volume circuitry to get the overdriven tone. I would have thought they’d have used Marshalls, but I don’t know for sure. Also bear in mind there’s at least one guitar there playing open-tuned – probably open G – the way the Stones played in the early 70s. For what its worth, though, I heard the following story a while ago. There was a guy who was a great fan of an English guitarist by the name of Hank Marvin. Hank had a very distinctive tone which some people love and others don’t. I’m in the latter category which is irrelevant but I need my credibility intact. Anywya this fan struggled for ages to get Hank’s tone, buying loads of gear and everything. Finally he was lucky enough to meet Hank at a gig, and noted down the exact settings of all Hank’s gear so he could recreate it at home. Result – he sounded still sounded like himself. Each to their own, but I’d suggest you get close and then do your own thing from there.

      you’re not going with your mom to get your new baby??? how crazy is this??? seriously girl, especially since you’re small, you need to try out some guitars. if it doesn’t fit you how you like, how are you going to play it and like it? i want to cry; go pick it out and try them out… please.
      as for models, those who know me know that i like to rant and rave about my first guitar because it really is a good beginner. washburn D10 (75), and mine was an acou/ele. i have tiny hands as well and this particular model has a very skinny neck. it’s got good sounds and i still like it emencely. as for other brands ibanez is good, as well as, of course, gibson and fender. these last two can be a little more pricey than ibanez or washburn, and the gibsons’ may be a little too big for you.
      go to the store… try them out… hold them and love them, and taste them if you have to, but be there when your mommy buys you one, ok? take care and good luck, amanda. let us know what you get.

      It’s a mid ’60s Vibrolux. Everything still works great. Although suddenly I can’t get the volume to go very high. It gets louder moving from one to 10, but it’s still not very loud at all. Tubes? Give it a sharp crack? Hit the shop?

      A while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you are now,

      and came across
      n article to this that said you could make thousands of CASH within

      week with only an
      initial investment of 6.00 plus stamps! So I thought, Yeah, right,

      this must be a scam!
      But like most of us I was curious and kept reading. It said that if you

      send .00 to each
      of the 6 names and addresses listed in the article, you could make

      thousands in a ver
      short period of time. You then place your own name and address at the

      bottom of the list
      at #6, and post the article to at least 300 newsgroups. (There are

      about 32,000 of them
      out there and thats quite a large market pool). No catch, that was it.

      Even though the
      investment was a measly 6. I had three questions that needed to be

      answered before I
      could get involved in this sort of thing.

      1. IS THIS REALLY LEGAL?
      I called a lawyer first. The lawyer was a little skeptical that I would

      actually make any
      CASH but he said it WAS LEGAL if I wanted to try it. I told him it

      sounded a lot like a
      chain letter but the details of the system (SEE BELOW) actually made it

      a legitimate
      business.

      2. IS OK WITH THE POST OFFICE OR IS IT MAIL FRAUD? I called them:
      1-800-725-2161 and they confirmed THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! (See 18, h
      sections 1302 NS 1341 of Postal Lottery Laws). This clarifies the

      program of collecting
      names and addresses for a mailing list.

      3. IS IT RIGHT? Well, everyone who sends me a buck has a good chance of

      getting A
      LOT of CASH … a much better chance than buying a lottery ticket!!!

      So, having these questions answered, I invested EXACTLY 7.92 … six

      .00 bills andsix 32 cent postage stamps … and boy am I glad I did!

      Within 7 days, I started getting CASH in the mail! I was shocked! I

      figured it would end soon and didnt give it another
      thought. But the CASH continued coming in. In my first week I made

      between 0 to 0. By the end of the second week I had a made a total

      of ,000.00.
      In the third week I had over 0,000.00 and it was still growing. This

      is now my fourth week and I havemade a total of just over 2,000 and

      its still coming in ….. Its certainly worth 6.00 and6

      stamps!!!Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you

      can get information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you

      follow the directions exactly, that you will startmaking more CASH than

      you thought possible by doing
      something so easy!

      Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or

      download it.) Follow thesimple directions and watch the CASH come in!

      Its easy. Its legal. And yourinvestment is only 6.00 (plus

      postage)IMPORTANT: This is NOT a rip-off; it is NOT indecent; it is NOT

      illegal; and it isvirtually 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 could be yours in

      a matter of days. This program remains successful because of the

      honesty and integrity of theparticipants. Please continue its success

      by carefully adhering to the instructions. Youwill now become part of

      the Mail Order Business. In this business your product is notsolid and

      tangible, its 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 CASHmade

      from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from

      people like youand 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 paperPLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST.

      Now get 6 US .00 bills and placeONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of

      paper so the bill will
      not be seen through theenvelope (to prevent thievery). Place one paper

      in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6sealed

      envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the abovephrase, 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 arepaying 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 legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following

      addresses:

      #1) Gill
      58 Moross
      Mt. Clemens, MI 48043

      #2) D. Hall
      14018 N. Florida Ave.
      Tampa, Fl. 33612

      #3) N. Maconeghy
      147 S. Rebecca Ave.
      Scranton, Pa. 18504

      #4) Vi.Vonortas
      21-67 48st.
      Astoria,NY.11105

      #5) A. Romanzi
      P.O. Box 56887
      Harwood Hts. IL. 60656

      #6) V. Dads
      15308, NE 13th PL,
      Apt# 2307,
      Bellevue, WA 98007

      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 aspossible. Now, post your

      amended article to at least 300 newsgroups. (I think there areclose to

      32,000 groups) All you need is 300, but remember, the more you post the

      moreCASH you make! This is
      perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, ref to 18 Sec. 1302 &1341 of

      the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and,

      whenever
      you need CASH, 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 a person of integrity, the program will continue

      and the CASH 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 noted
      people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service.

      (Also, it might
      be a good idea to wrap the bills 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 CASH in CASH!!! What an opportunity for

      only 6.00
      (.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add

      your own name to
      the list and youre 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 letter,
      and select copy from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter

      into the computers
      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 well 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, youll always have this file to go back to.

      Step 4) Use Netscape of 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

      posting in a particular
      group, click the post message button.

      Youre done with your first one! Congratulations… THATS 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 CASH
      YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A minimum of 300**

      Thats it! You will begin receiving CASH 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 250 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a

      very low example). So then I made 0.00 with my name
      at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me .00

      make the MINIMUM 250 postings, each with my name at
      #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is

      another 50.00 for me, now those 25 each make 250 MINIMUM
      posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an

      additional 250.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and
      post the MINIMUM 250 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies

      each, I will make an additional 260.00! OK, now here is
      the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 250 letters with

      my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies,
      that just made me 1,250.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver

      this message to 250 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if
      still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive 50,625,00!

      With an original investment of only 0.00! 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

      CASH? 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.

      **By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages with

      your name in the
      list and not sending the CASH to the rest of the people already on the

      list, you will NOT
      get as much. Someone I talked to knew someone who did that and he only

      made about
      50.00, and thats after seven or eight weeks! Then he sent the 6 .00

      bills, people
      added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had over 0k. This is

      the fairest and most
      honest way I have ever seen to share the wealth of the world without

      costing anything but
      out time!!! You also may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for

      future CASH. Make
      sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW! Also, try to keep a lest of

      every one that
      sends you CASH and always keeps an eye on the newsgroups or make sure

      everyone is
      playing fairly. Remember, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. You dont need to

      cheat
      the basic idea to make the CASH!! GOOD LUCK to all and please play

      fairly and reap
      the huge rewards from this, which is tons of extra CASH.

      Please remember to declare your extra income. Thanks once again…

      People have asked me if this is really legal. Well, it is! You are

      using the Internet to
      advertise your business. That is that business? You are creating a

      mailing list of people
      who are interested in home based computer and online business and

      methods of generating
      income at home. Remember, people send you a small fee to be added to

      your mailing list.
      it is legal, what will you do with your list of thousands of names?

      Thats up to you. So, build your mailing list, keep good accounts,

      declare the income
      and pay your taxes. By doing this you prove your business intentions.

      Keep an eye on
      the newsgroups and when the cash has stopped coming (that means your

      name is no
      longer on the list), you just take the latest posting at the

      newsgroups, send another .00
      to the names stated on the list, make your corrections (put your name

      at #6) and start
      posting again.

      NOTES:
      *1. In some countries, the export of the countrys exchange is illegal.

      But you can get the
      license to do this from the post office, explaining the above

      statements (that you have an
      online business, etc.). You may have to pay an extra tax, but thats OK,

      the amount of the
      incoming CASH is HUGE! And as I said, a few countries have that

      restriction.
      *2. You may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future CASH. (Or

      Database or
      Spreadsheet software.)
      *3. If youre really not sure or still think this cant be for real,

      please print a copy of this
      article and give it to someone who really needs the CASH, and see what

      happens.
      *4. You will start getting responses within 1-2 weeks, it depends.

      ***ALSO REMEMBER***
      SEND YOUR OUT TO EVERYONE ON THE LIST, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT
      FROM THE U.S.

      WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???

        AN HONEST WAY TO MAKE FAST CASH! Dear Friend: I’m giving this a try in faith and hope you will too! I found this idea to bring in some fast cash for hard times that hit us all. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! 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 $1.00 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 $6.00, right? Then I invested the $6.00. 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 $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it’s still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it’s still coming in rapidly. It’s certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps. 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 $6.00 (Plus postage) IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; 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. 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 with Your Name and Address included. Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent it from being stolen). 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 $1.00 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) Matt Madracki P.O. Box 1529 Sutton West, Ontario LOE I RO #2) Mike Degen 10 Deer Run Lebanon, NJ 08833 #3) Crystal Bonifer 6331 Sean Pkwy St.Louis, MO 63129 #4) Ritchie Espino 19147 Little Plain Pkwy Oregon City, OR 97045 #5) Abe Husein 2180 NE Parvin Rd Kansas City MO 64116 #6) Donna Owen 1996 Village Drive Hayes, VA 23072 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 lottery 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 $1 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 $6.00 ($1.00 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 — 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.) (Just example you log on any search engine like yahoo.com,google.com,altavista.com,excite.com then you search with this subject ?millionaire message board? or ?money making message board? or ?employment message board? or ?money making discussions? or ?money making forum? or ?business message board? etc. You will find thousand & thousand message board. (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 $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 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 $25.00 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 $125.00! 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 $626.00! 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 $3,125.00!!! 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 $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 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 $6.00 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 to share the wealth HONESTLY and this will really work for us all. GOD BLESS!!!

        : A while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you are now, : and came across : n article to this that said you could make thousands of CASH within : week with only an : initial investment of $36.00 plus stamps!

It said that if you : send $6.00 to each : of the 6 names and addresses listed in the article, you could make : thousands in a ver : short period of time. You then place your own name and address at the : bottom of the list : at #6, and post the article to at least 300 newsgroups. (There are : about 32,000 of them : out there and thats quite a large market pool). No catch, that was it. : Even though the : investment was a measly $36. I had three questions that needed to be : answered before I : could get involved in this sort of thing. : 1. IS THIS REALLY LEGAL? : I called a lawyer first.

      I’m a lucky owner of a beautyful black Tokai Les Paul Custom. I bought it from my cousin and after changing the microphonic Pick-ups to seymore Duncan, my black beauty sounds like hell and I think I will never sell it. It’s a very good guitar for that price.

        Hi, i’m about to buy a 2001 Tokai LC-75S (the les paul custom replica, in black)… so far I’ve only played the ALC75, which is the Korean model, and i was totally blown away! I’m waiting for the Japanese model to arrive at the shop. I’m trust it’ll be a lot better than the Korean one, and that’s saying something! So much for Epiphones being a worthwhile Gibson alternative.. all the epi’s i’ve played absolutely suck!

      I had been dreaming about gettin’ a Gibson LP Standard for about the last 15 – 20 years. Last year I finally got one. ,900 through Musician’s Friend – new w/case. I plug it into a DigiTech RP7 and run it through a Fender Princeton Chorus Amp and it sounds AWESOME!! It looks great, has great sustain, and the pick-ups kick some serious butt!

      Gentlemen,
      Does a software program exist that will notate or tab guitar played through the computer.
      If so, what is it, and is there any hardware needed to convert analog to digital.
      Thanks,
      Steven

      If your’e in the uk try

      http://www.loot.com for second hand guitars,
      you could probably get a nice Gibson Les Paul Junior or Studio for ~£400 – i.e. what you’d pay for a new Epiphone Gold top (though these do get good reviews). Note that real second hand gibsons will sell for what you paid for them.
      Personally I like hand made British Guitars like Gordon Smiths and Patrick Eggles that offer coil tapping, etc.

      For reviews of guitars try http://www.harmony-central.com via their guitar database.

      : I’ve been playing a strat copy for 3 years and it was fine for learning, but I’m in a band now, and I want to buy a good quality guitar.
      : I have around £300 to spend and I was wondering what anyone recommends.
      : I’ve been looking at an Epiphone Les Paul Goldtop and have heard that the alnicoV P-90 pickups are better than the P-100’s, Is this true??
      : What are the qualities of this guitar, and which other guitars do you recommend in the same price bracket??

      : Thanks – Dave

      Thanks for the quick feedback! Unfortunately, both are on e-bay, so I am going to go with the later one, since it is the same guitar basically, and 100 bucks less!

      : My understanding was that standards at Fender feel somewhat during the 70s and into the 80s, but have picked up in later years. From that I’d suggest the older one. Probably more importnat, though, is what they both feel like to play. I would guess that idf you play each of them for a while, you’ll find that one feels more comfortable than the other. Go with that instinct.

        I have a red 834 with triple binding, and I’ve been looking all over for info on it… what it’s worth, how many were made, etc… I get bits and pieces and a few pics, but nothing else. Sounds like you’ve got a whole collection of these violin cutaways… Do you HAVE an 834, and if so, do you have any info (or info on where to GET info)?

        I have what appears to be a 1957 jazz bass copy, with the pickup cover and ashtray bridge cover. 3 knobs, 2 volume, 1 tone. 3 tone sunburst finish. Reply with a potential quote or to just tell me more about the kent company. This bass is so cool i want to find out more.

      Never played one, but I remember that they wee marketed at a low point for Gibson – in terms of product quality – and a lot of the music press rated them as better than what Gibson themselves were putting out at the time. Everyone thought they had a stupid name though!

      : hey all,

      : i was hoping somebody might be able to help me out on this. i am thinking of getting a new guitar that is easier for me to play. i have a strat and i find that the neck is just a tad too big for my small hands. i was wondering what types of guitars are better for individuals with smaller hands. i usually see female guitarists using telecasters…are they generally known to have smaller necks? thanks.

      Go with ecar’s suggestion – he’s spot on.

      If you’re wanting a complete change of sound then maybe consider the Epiphone – though even then I think you could do better – but if you like what you’ve got but want better quality look for a better quality Strat copy, or even a second-hand Strat. £300 will get you a decent guitar. Find a decent second-hand place and have a look. I don’t know where you are in the UK so I can’t reccomend anywhere. Buy Guitarist and have a look at the trade ads, or buy a local free ads paper and see what’s for sale privately.

      : Hello. I was wondering if anyone had any tips for someone learning on acoustic with very small hands. I can play some chords, but I can’t do barre chords hardly at all, and my reach is very difficult for some chords. For example, I have a hard time with B and F chords. I even tried "power chords" that I found on the net, but I can’t do it. For the F chord, i tried using only strings 1 thru 4, but I can’t even barre the 1st and 2nd strings because of how small my hands are and how my fingers are shaped. Any suggestions on alternate chord structure or tuning, etc. would be helpful.

      Your other option is open tuning, where you tune the guitar so that it plays a chord if you simply strum all the strings unfretted. Though this produces some lovely alternatives and has alll sorts of uses – slide guitar, for examlpe – you might consider it a bit of a cop out. Your choice. Try tuning the bass string down to a D, leave the A where it is, leave the D where it is, drop the G to an F sharp, drop the B to an A and the top E to a D. Now if you barre any fret you’ll get a major chord. Unfretted, teh guitar will produce D major. Try it and see where you get to. If you decide you like it and want more chords or whatever in that tuning, by all means email me.

      Amanda and Jimmy have already given yuo a couple of suggestions. A further point on their ideas is to bear in mind that, in terms of standard size guitars, Gibsons tend to have shorter scale lengths than Fenders. It might not sound much but it’s a notable difference and may help. Also, without wishing to deny your difficulty, your hands will become more flexible the longer you play. If I’ve got bigger hands than you there should always be chords I can play and you can’t, I suppose, but there are several chords I can play now that I couldn’t stretch to as a beginner, and the same should be the case for you.

      Posted by Guitarlover (from: ) on January 28, 2000 at 10:46:11:
      READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! AND RICH!
      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 addresses stated in the
      article. You then place your 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 lottery!! 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 that 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 rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not
      illegal; and it is virtually no risk – it really works!!!
      IMPORTANT2: The .00 for each person on the list is for keeping you
      up to date and for putting you in all our newsgroups. So you will
      make just as much as we do!!!
      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.) Robert Sham
      1039 Lamplighter Rd.
      Niskayuna, NY 12309, USA
      2.) Vlãntoiu Gheorghe Serban
      C.P. 72-21
      Bucharest, ROMANIA
      3.)GLEN RAY CAMPBELL Jr.
      919 Virginia Ct.
      Panama City,Fl 32404,usa
      4.) Heather Angel
      4244 46th St.
      San Diego, Ca. 92115
      5.) Alexander Dolstra
      Frederik Hendrik straat 37
      3143 LB Maassluis
      the Netherlands
      6.) J. Kirk
      2360 Forbes Ave.
      Santa Clara, CA 95050

      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 the 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 & 1241 of the Postal lottery 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, too.
      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 reached 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 letter to 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 bottom of the list and to change the numbers of 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 search 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 is 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 is it! You will begin receiving money form
      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, this is an additional 5.00 for me.
      Now those 25 each make 200 MININUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5
      replies each. This brings in an additional 25.00. Now, those 125
      persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3
      and receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional 25.00.
      Ok, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 people post a MINIMUM
      200 letters with my name at #2 and they receive 5 replies each. 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 react, I will receive an additional 5,625.00!! With an
      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 remeber
      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? Anyway, it is only .00 for a chance
      at thousands. 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. You
      wouldn’t want someone to cheat you the same way you may be cheating!

      hey robin, i feel for you girl; i’m in the same boat. my hands are very small, my 6 yr old niece has larger. what kind of guitar do you have first of all? my first was a washburn D10 acoustic/ele. it’s got a really skinny neck which is one of the reasons i bought it. even towards the bottom i can pretty much get my hand around it, you should check it out. many acoustic guitars, especially classic guitars, have very wide necks. i’ve always had troubles with B chords also; however, the more you practice moving your fingers to that position, the easier it gets. especially if youre just beginning. try rolling your wrist out more away from the guitar to get more finger length on it. i’ll think some more on fixing chords to help you out. let me know…

      when learning to play guitar, it’s always a little crazy. i have really small hands, something i’ve had to deal with too. if your fingers are strong enough and you are able to pinch two strings on the same fret such as in your A chord, go for it with one finger. stick with it…

      Who can help?
      I’m just learning how to play the guitar (electric). I have never played guitar before in my live.
      I’m having trouble putting my fingers on the strings and frets. When try the A major, second fret, strings 3-4-5 Ican’t seem to get all my fingers in the right position. It looks as if my fingers are to big to play the guitar.

        : How are the tuners installed?And what is that thing that loks like a rollpin? The pin is to lock the string to the post when the knurled nut is tightened. I have a set of 2×2 bass tuners that I want to convert to 4-in-line. I haven’t found a way to remove and reverse the pinion gear without feeling I’m going to break something. Has anyone out there done this. It looks obvious, but I don’t want to force the wrong parts. Bill

      Hello. I was wondering if anyone had any tips for someone learning on acoustic with very small hands. I can play some chords, but I can’t do barre chords hardly at all, and my reach is very difficult for some chords. For example, I have a hard time with B and F chords. I even tried "power chords" that I found on the net, but I can’t do it. For the F chord, i tried using only strings 1 thru 4, but I can’t even barre the 1st and 2nd strings because of how small my hands are and how my fingers are shaped. Any suggestions on alternate chord structure or tuning, etc. would be helpful.

      I’ve been looking at an Epiphone Les Paul Goldtop and have heard that the alnicoV P-90 pickups are better than the P-100’s, Is this true??
      What are the qualities of this guitar, and which other guitars do you recommend in the same price bracket??

      : I was out at a shop looking to buy a good distortion pedal, I was
      : recommended a certain overdrive pedal. Is there any difference???

      Most players would probably agree that overdrive generally refers to a milder effect than distortion. You would get overdrive on an old valve amp simply by turning it up louder than it was originally meant to go. You’d hear this sound a lot on albums by people like Clapton, the Stones, the Who and so on from the late 60s, early 70s. Distortion is more severe, and you might associate it more with heavier stuff, and the metal sounds that came later. Which is suitable for you deopends on what you’re trying to play and how you want it to sound. Try both and see. If yuo’re gonig to be gigging then you need to try them out at volume, as they willl produce very different sounds through an amp played at bedroom practice levels and the same amp cranked up with a band. Either way, you should be able to have a giggle with them!

      : I am new to guitars. Is there any difference between a maple and rosewood fingerboard except the type of wood used? Does it affect quality or sound or anything like that? Thanks!

      I’d go along with what Joe and Gil have said. Personally, I’ve never felt particularly comfortable with any maple boarded guitar, so that though I was originally quite scepticval about there being much difference I need to acccept that there is. It’s more about what it feels like to lpay, though for me. Maple necks do sound a little brighter, I think, but I don’t dislike that sound when others play it, so its not the sound that’s putting me off. Try a few and see what you think. In any event, as one of the others said, the board is not going to be a crucial issue – your amp, pickups, playing style, whether you use a pick or your fingers, all of those things will fundamentally influence your sound.

      This is going to depend where you are. If you’re in Northern England, probably £1000 to £1500. A little more, perhaps, around London. Elsewhere, no idea, I’m afraid. If you’re near Leeds and sellling it for under £600 though I know someone who might be interested (which is also why I have an idea how much they cost!)

      I bought a Takamine Acoustic/electric and would like to put a set of 9’s on it. I play Boomer 9’s on my strat, and find them very comfortable, but on the Takamine, they sound too "cold". I would like to find an acoustic string, preferably 9’s, that plays soft, (like the boomers), but gives the Tak a "warmer" sound.
      I tried Martin 80/20s..(10’s) but they played too hard. Gotta have 9’s, if I can find some.

      Try Ebay auctions. Go to the electric guitars section and perform 3 searches.

      Search for "lefty" then "left-handed" then "southpaw"
      These searches should give you lots of choices.

      : I own a 1983 Gibson Flying V and I want more edge for solo-playing. What should I do? pickup change? an overdrive-compressor box? poor technique?

      Before you go spending any money on new amps, new pickups, brass nuts, overdrive units, on-board preamps or any other gizmos, just stick a heavier set of strings on it. You’ll be amazed at how much bigger the sound gets. The strings drive the pick-ups, and the heavier they are the more weight is vibrating there and the more signal gets pushed out. These days people tend to play with 8, 9 or 10 gauge strings. Stevie Ray Vaughan oplayed with 13s. Yes, that’s extreme, and yes he tuned down a little to accommodate, but my bet is that you could easily go up a gauge or two without going that heavy. You’ll find it hard on your fingers but you soon get used to it, the same as you did when you first learned to play. I’ve played with 11s on a my Telecaster, 12s on an old Hofner and 13s – downtuned – on a 12-string for years now. The main drawback its that its difficult to evaluate guitars in shops any more because they all sound toneless in comparison. Give it a go.

      : <3/ Niko

      Don’t be too worried about messing it up – they’re a lot more robust than you might expect. If it hasn’t been played in a whilem though, it would definitely benefit from some new strings. Pop into a guitar shop, ask for osome advice on strings, and ask them if they’d show you how to sstring and tune it. You’ll need to know how to restring it sooner or later anyway, as you’ll need to do that every few months or so. Try not to pick a time when they’re swamped with cutomers, but if they’re not too busy you’ll probably find they’ll help you out. If this isn’t feasible, and you really are having to do it completely alone, by all means email me and I’ll try and guide you through it. It’s simple onece you know how, but explaining it feels tricky.

      : thanks for your help

      : jon

      You’ve a few options here, depending on how creative you want to be. Most people would do the following. Top pair – or course, as they’re known, to E, the same as the high E on a standard 6 string. Next course both to B, as above. Next course, tune the heavier of the pair to a normal G, with the lighter of the pair to the G, top string 3d fret, so that this pair are an octave apart. Repeat that pattern for the D, A and E pairs. Alternatively, you could tune it to an opening tuning. This is how I play mine these days. Email me if you need to know about that and arte interested. Depending on the gauge of strings you’re using, you may want to downtune a tone to make it slightly easier to play. Have fun.

        There may be some confusion between Chicago Music Industries and Cleartone Musical Instruments. Jim Marshall got finance from Rose-Morris to produce amplifiers and PA. In return, Rose-Morris got a 15-year exclusive deal to market Marshall products. By 1965, it was obvious that Morris had got the better part of the deal. Marshall then set up Cleartone Musical Instruments to sell his amps in different boxes under a different name (Park came about for the same reason). I have a CMI 100W lead/bass valve amp that was made in England in the 60s. It’s pretty much identical to the JTM 100 Mk1, but in a much squarer box. At some point, CMI guitars came about. Very early ones were made in England. Most of them, though, were made in Japan and imported (Jim’s wife was responsible for this line of business). Pretty much when the Rose-Morris deal expired, the CMI brand died off. Park was brought back for the cheaper, imported combos. Look at the logo on the headstock of your guitar. If the ‘C’ is squareish shaped and extends over the ‘MI’, then you have a Cleartone Musical Instrument, probably made in Japan in the ’70s. I saw a CMI 4001-style bass in a studio, with the logo exactly the same as my amp. At the time, I worked for Britain’s ‘Making Music’ magazine and asked them to find out for me. Their amp expert, Richard Studholme, provided the above info which was published in their technical letters page, "Dr. Knob".

        I own a flat double cutaway les paul (LS6??) copy cmi guitar with what sound like p90s …and i mean sound exactly like p90s fat, sweet tone, bags of sustain and beautiful plumby overdriven rythmn sound. It plays like a dream although the frets are a tad chunky the neck is smooth. Through my line pod 6 or my hiwatt 70s 100 top it has a beautiful tone. Anyone with any more details on the brand would love to hear from them. I also believe that, as new ,in about 1974/5 the guitar i have retailed at £150 sterling as i remember playing one in a shop and being mighty impressed.15 yrs down the line i paid 80 bucks for mine.

      depends on what kinda sound youre looking for- the les paul’s a big beefy tone, and the ricks more jangly. if youre going for nice lead sounds eventually, I recommend the les paul. (although honestly, if you want a nice mix of beef and jangle, something that switches well between rhythym and lead, look at a strat. just my opinion.) good luck.

      : A method of plugging holes that I have read a few times is using wooden dowels to plug the holes. Find a diameter that fits snugly and glue them in place. Cut the dowel flsh with the top of the guitar. Then you can paint the dowels. This technique works best if you are refinishinh the guitar.

      Thanks Clyde. The guitar is way too pretty, standard, authentic to refinish. Matching the grain would be impossible as well (because it is sunburst the grain shows in the middle).

      Hi, I’m looking for a X-mas present for my husband. He’s got everyhting on Steve Vai, Satriani, Gambale, Johnson, George ynch, Stevie Ray Vaughn and the likes. I’d like to surprise him with an artist/artists who are similar in genre, and pretty good, and that you are sure he has never ever heard of. We live in beirut, Lebanon, and are pretty sheltered as to what is going on outside with guitar music, but he stays in touch through CD Now, so anything featuring explicity on that website will probably have caught his attention already. Any ideas? Thanks a lot

      I have question for the recording buffs out there. I just boughta four track recorder. I suse an electric guitar and an electric acoustic to record with. I have a horrible practice amp and so have decided to just record by plugging my guitar directly into the four track recorder. the think is I of course only get a straight forward guitar sound to record with. i was looking to buy an effects box. I am basically looking for reverb, tremolo, and etc. The basic effects. what i want to know is is it possible to buy an effects box like you were going to plug it between your amp and guitar, and take that same effects box, and simply plug it between your guitar and four track recorder, and get the sufficient effects.

      I want to do this since I have a horrible amp, so i can get some variety and experimentation out of my recordings.

      So out of all of this convolution I mainly asking if it is possible to buy an effects box that giives basic effects and plug it between the four track and guitar to get what I want.

      Whew!

      Thank you for your help. 🙂

      It depends on the guitarist… I learn the same way you do and I have found that many guitarists (SRV for example) tend to pluck the higher string with the middle and/or ring finger while picking the lower note. You can usually tell if you have both the tab and the recording the pick/pluck technique is a bit cleaner, rings truer and sounds more simultanious. Give it a try.

      Posted by Guitarlover (from: ) on January 28, 2000 at 10:46:11:
      READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! AND RICH!
      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 addresses stated in the
      article. You then place your 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 lottery!! 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 that 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 rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not
      illegal; and it is virtually no risk – it really works!!!
      IMPORTANT2: The .00 for each person on the list is for keeping you
      up to date and for putting you in all our newsgroups. So you will
      make just as much as we do!!!
      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.) Robert Sham
      1039 Lamplighter Rd.
      Niskayuna, NY 12309, USA
      2.) Vlãntoiu Gheorghe Serban
      C.P. 72-21
      Bucharest, ROMANIA
      3.)GLEN RAY CAMPBELL Jr.
      919 Virginia Ct.
      Panama City,Fl 32404,usa
      4.) Heather Angel
      4244 46th St.
      San Diego, Ca. 92115
      5.) Alexander Dolstra
      Frederik Hendrik straat 37
      3143 LB Maassluis
      the Netherlands
      6.) J. Kirk
      2360 Forbes Ave.
      Santa Clara, CA 95050

      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 the 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 & 1241 of the Postal lottery 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, too.
      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 reached 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 letter to 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 bottom of the list and to change the numbers of 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 search 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 is 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 is it! You will begin receiving money form
      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, this is an additional 5.00 for me.
      Now those 25 each make 200 MININUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5
      replies each. This brings in an additional 25.00. Now, those 125
      persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3
      and receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional 25.00.
      Ok, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 people post a MINIMUM
      200 letters with my name at #2 and they receive 5 replies each. 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 react, I will receive an additional 5,625.00!! With an
      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 remeber
      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? Anyway, it is only .00 for a chance
      at thousands. 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. You
      wouldn’t want someone to cheat you the same way you may be cheating!

      if it’s for home use go just with the acoustic. to add a cheat and plug-in to an acoustic runs about 85$; depends on what you think is worth it. have fun. that’s the main point. go for sound and what fits you. go for what you like. the price will pay off in the end. good luck lyle.

      I have a beautiful Sunburst 1962 Gibson ES-335 TD. Bought it new. (Yes I am an old guy.) It came with a Gibson tremelo, dealer installed. Works fine but there are two little black eyesore plastic plugs that cover each of the mounting holes from the original bridge. Does anybody know of a clever, classy, way to cover these holes? I can’t re-install an original bridge because of the hole that would be left from the Gibson Tremelo. (Would also like to trade that out for a Bigsby, or whatever.) Is there a common way to cover these holes? Is there anything made specifically to cover these holes? Does anyone know of anyone who would make a custom nickle mini-bridge, etc.

      Thanks,

      Yngwie uses a trick to simulate bowing the strings. It is difficult to do unless you have a guitar
      where the cloume know is near the bridge ( like on a strat). What you have to do is roll the
      volume to zero, pick a note and then roll the volume up. You then roll the volume down pick
      a note and roll back up, etc… Use your pinky to roll the volume. It is tricky. You can also use
      a volume pedal for the same effect. Yngwie throws in some delay to give it an even cooler
      effect.

      Deadning strings is very common. You can also play the upper string with a finger that is not holding the pick. A better solution is to get a thumbpick and play fingerstyle, then there are no limitations.

      I’m a lefthander looking for a tele. Can’t stretch funds to a pukka Fender. Does anyone know of a Squire leftie tele, as I can’t seem to find trace of one anywhere. Alternatively, any secondhand leftie teles out there (3-500 quid)?

      What style are you playing – rock or metal you pick up a good Marshall- IMO you can’t go wrong w a Marshall Head – you can also pick up a used 4X12 cab if these are the styles you are playing- it all depends on what you are going after- I know you can pick up a Peavey 5150 used for cheap also.

      I want to replace one of my 4ohm 15" speakers with 4 8" 32 ohm speakers. If I wire the 8"ers parallel, that should get them to 4 ohm. I’m just fishing here, so if I’m way off the mark please let me know. I’m also not exactly sure what the difference between a series and parallel wiring is. Thanks

      : Has anybody used one of the new tonelok tubescreamer pedals (ts7). I am torn between paying 0 for the ts7 as compared to ~00 for a ts9 reissue. I have also found a mint used original, ts9, but again in the 200 bill range.

      First of all, don’t pay 80 bucks for a TS-7. I only payed about 30 for mine at Sam Ash. I don’t know where you’re looking at one, but keep shopping around. The TS-7 is exactly the same as the TS-9, except its got the "hot" switch on it. It’s probably a better idea to go with the TS-7 because its more versatile than the TS-9.

      : I am still in learning mode as far as effects go, so any input is appreciated.

      Ed,

      I understand your situation, cause many of my past guitar students had various problems
      with their fingernails. I will only try to be as helpful as I can: take calcium tablets or drink more
      milk to promote growth, don’t bite them (many people do this), use a nail hardener to protect
      what you have, and just concentrate on not breaking them with your daily activities. In your
      business, this may be near impossible! You may look into fingernails that you can glue onto
      the ones you already have, or even using fingerpicks that sort of clip onto your finger.
      Hopefully, this info is a little helpful. I am a professional fingerstylist and have just released a
      CD at GuitarSolo.com, so I know how important our fingernails are for proper tone. Good luck
      with them…Bob

      : I am a motor mechanic and part time musician and hoping to move on to finger style picking but I am unable to because of soft and damaged finger nails.I have tried many "beauticians" products without success – any tips would be appreciated.

      They make a pedal version of a chorus that sounds GREAT-very very sweet

      : Hmm.I don’t know how to explain technically.Choruses, flangers,phase shifters are really types of delays.They
      : generaly work on SINE WAVES manipulation.They are classified as signal modulators.Choruses give you a bath-tub type sound with a swirling effect.Andy Summers
      : (Police),Robert Fripp(King Crimson),Funkadelic,Prince,
      : and a host of others used this sound.It was the main
      : effect used back in the 80’s.They are VERY useful,
      : especially for vocals! If I’m not using reverb on vocal
      : tracks,then I’ll use Chorus to give them depth and color.Voodoo Labs makes a very good chorus,Maxons are V.G.,Small Clones are wild little gizmos!I also like the Boss CE-3,but I think the old MXR(big,yellow)are the best ever!

      Hello,

      I am new on this board.

      I have been playing professionally for 11 years now. I used to play guitar for Emilio(BMG).

      Here is a tip that helps a friend of mine and you…

      a friend of mine ,Don Macias Rippy makes what are called Bajo Sexto s and Bajo Quinto s—these are Mexican 12 and 10 string baritone guitars.

      He also makes acoustic guitars. These are HAND-MADE guitars–not too many of us have seen a truly hand-made guitar—companies like Taylor, martin, etc who make hand-made guitars only use the hands to move the guitars parts from 1 machine to another–and it shows–their work is beautiful.

      Don’s work is just as beautiful, but he makes these gutars on his kitchen table!! BY HAND!!

      The sound is INCREDIBLE!! My guitar is a high grade Spruce top, with Rosewood sides and back–mahogany binding on the front of the body—–mahogany neck—–Wenge bridge and fretboard. The sound is so open and clear and full, and crisp.

      I bought this because it was made for sound–the sound hole has no rosette decoration( the decoration kills the vibration and tone of the top)-it is just plain—and the finish minimal in order to allow the top to ring freely—all that heavy clear laqueur on a gutars KILLS the tone.

      Anyway, Don is always willing to take an order to make a guitar or bajo and he has 2 in the works right now for the Dixie Chicks—and 1 that will appear in the Jan 2001 issue of PlayBoy as a background prop for Rebeccas Ramos, 3 more local Tecas customers, 1 more for me–this will be my 3rd instrument, second guitar from him.

      This is the best sounding acoustic guitar I have heard and I have tried a few…

      anyway for anybody interested, the prices are more than reasonable–I keep telling him to go up on his price , but he lives in South Texas–nobody charges well in Texas–I paid 500 for the bajo quinto and only 400 for the acoustic—both should be 500 a piece for the quality of the sound.

      If anyone wants to see pics, please let me know.

      Give him a call at 210-922-0245. I thought I would pass on this Bargain of a price a hand made acoustic — just don’t freak out–his name is Don Macias RIPPY–he is in his 30’s –he has Blonde hair and blue eyes–yet he has a thick Mexican accent–go figure–it is south texas!!

      Thanks,

      carl

      As long as the distortion is good, I guess I’ll get it. It is a good deal for 00. I’ve looked them up on some sites and they were being sold from 70-00. I’m going to do a green day type of distortion for the majority of the songs, as for anything clean,looks like I’m screwed. I might be able to borrow my other friend’s fender princeton amp if I do any clean stuff at a gig. I’ve let him borrow my gear before so he probably will let me borrow his.

      : Hey guys,
      : Can anyone make a suggestion on amp. I curently have been using a practice amp, and was looking to purchase a more expenxive amp. The problem is I have a very strict budget and was looking to get something in the 200-250 dollar range.

      : My question is, is it possible to get an amp in this price range that can still allow me to explore many different tones and settings? The kind of music I am looking to play is clean jangley Indie sound so and I own a Fender cyclone with Tex-Mex pick-ups.

      : I supposse I would be looking for a Fender amp for that really clean sound, but if anyone else can make any suggestions on what i can get in this price range, and also for what sound I am looking to explore.

      : Thanks for your help.

      Have both a small Marshall (lead 12 ss) and a Fender blues Junior (15w all tube). It is unbelievable the difference, between the tube and the solid state. The tube amp is so much warmer sounding(?). As far as price picked up mine used for 50 cdn. Hope this helps. P.S using 50’s re-issue with single coils, and LP copy with humbuckers love them both on the Fender.

      I’m a self taught guitarist, I teach myself by looking at tab books & listening to the music to figure out what to do. My question is when a tab book tells you to play 2 strings that aren’t next to each other at the same time, but WITHOUT playing the string in between them how are you supposed to do that? I just rest one of my fingers lightly on the unwanted string so it doesn’t make much noise when I play it. Is that what you’re supposed to do?

      eg:

      ———-5——–
      ——————-
      ———-7——–

      I recently purchased a 1991 Gibson Les Paul Studio with some unique features. It is the "lite" model and has the appointments of a custom(Gold Hardware, paralellogram inlays) with a stunning two piece amber top(I would rate it a AA, according to what Gibson calls AAA). It does not have binding or an inlayed Gibson logo. Can anyone give me an idea of how rare this guitar is? I have seen hundred of studios, but never a lite with a flame top and gold hardware. Any help would be appreciated.

      : 1960 Rickenbacker; Where is a good place to find out the value of this item?

      Try the Rickenbacker Forum or the Rickenbacker Research Ring.MSN browser can find these easily.

      Here’s a guess:
      300 series- 000 to 000 depending on condition and model.
      600 series-500-000
      Combo’s-Anywhere from 50(tulip shaped or student) up to 000(if you have a 325 shaped Combo)
      400 series-00 to 000

      if it has anything to do with Beatles(i.e., you have a Rick shaped like a Beatle Guitar) add some 4164380. Also, Rickenbackers made before 1964 are very rare so you probably have a nice axe on your hands.

I want to keep the clean strat sound for blues etc. The problem I need more choice for harder rock. Is the humbucker the only way to go. This strat is not a hard rock player as is.

      In order to get that flat frequency response you should use monitors. You can get a set of Alesis for about 25. You can use your stereo as an amplifier. No need to buy an extra one.

      The nylon strings have much less tension than steel. I wouldn’t recommend this. Your guitar was not designed for this. If you are just a beginner don’t worry. Your fingers will develop calouses and you will be able to play longer without pain. You might want to try a lighter guage string instead. Have a music shop set-up your guitar for you when you change guages because the neck wil need to be adjusted. You might also want to try Silk and Steel strings. They have less tension on them.. Good luck

      I tried Revalver. It’s cool, but I wouldn’t part with 00 for it. The POD and Cakewalk I agree with. If those are out of your budget, Power Tracks Pro Audio (0) and the Digitech RP100 effects unit (00) are extremely usable.

      Depending on the drummer, of course, typically I would expect to get by easily with a 40 watt amp. I’ve seen plenty of servicable specimens used for 00 or less, i.e. Crate and Peavey.

      If you’re looking for a budget piece, check out the Digitech RP100 for about 00. Hard to beat for the money.

      It takes a little investment in time to learn to program an effects unit, but I’ve found it to be very worthwhile. I haven’t used an actual guitar amp on a gig for years now.

      Note you can download ProTools Lite FREE!!! from http://www.digidesign.com – it has 8 tracks of audio, 48 tracks of midi and EQ, Compressor, Delay, Modulation, etc.

      I have the same Cubasis that came with SBlive platinum but don’t use it because it didn’t save sounfonts with project files, was bugged and the user interface and company support was poor.

      I personally use Cakewalk Homestudio 9 which is beautifully intuitive and stable – unlike the Stienberg stuff. It also has really good newsgroup support – which is invaluable and can support dozens of freeware DirectX plugins (and VST plugins with VST Wrapper). You can control virtual synths through loop backs drivers though CPU overload can be a problem.

      The more expensive Cubase lets you use synths as plugins (VST2) though with SBlive the latency is poor.
      I have a page about recording at
      http://members.tripod.com/acmerock/shush_recording/shush_studio.htm

      : Which is the best sequencing software for guitar based recording with a few drum loops and syths thrown in. I have SB Platinum and Cubasis VST. Is this a good package to start out on? Pro Tools are supposed to be good aren’t they?

What you want is the pearloid pickguard from the tom delonge strat. Am I right? Well if so, what you need to do is go to your local music store w/ guitars(ex- melody music), and show them a picture of tom playing his guitar. A really good one, and they will order it for you, but since toms guitar, it will have to be made custom. So it will be around $50 dollars. I need a seymour duncan invader humbucker(1) please email me on how you got yours, and the price. I hope I have been a help to you. Bye.

      Fast Eddie Clark, who used to play with Motorhead in the early ’80s used a standard strat.
      Iron Maiden used to use strats with humbuckers fitted in the bridge position. I’d tend to think
      that the "metal sound" is more to do with the distortion effects and amp type than being due
      to one guitar or the other (though that is of course important).

      The guitar tone…
      Firstly I did a little research in the past on how the Youngs from AC/DC achieved their sound.
      This is what I got….
      They used an old Neve desk at Albert’s Studio in Sydney (I have had the pleasure of recording
      through it in the past). Now when you overload the inputs of those desks, the transistors snarl at you
      (distort) in a pleasant way. I was told this is what they did to get their unique sound.
      I thought I would put it to the test with my Behrringer desk….it sounded bad…those IC’s don’t dig
      overload…so I got thinking..why don’t I slave the preamp from my Marshall JCM 800 into my Solid
      State Fender 185 amp and mike that up.
      Bingo! there’s the sound. The transistors in the Fender snarled cool. No output valves in sight and
      only 1 12" Fender speaker in an open back cab miked.
      The other thing is the old crappy Shure Uniden (SM57 predecessor). Many an old gutar recording
      was made through these things.

      : the best option and why so?
      Distortion should be through the input of your amp, and time domain effects [reverb,delay,chorus] should see an effects loop of your amp. The M-ONE [TC Electronics] is a great effects loop device, but would sound wierd if you were pushing a dist pedal through it. So mix and match your overdrives in pedal forum to the input of that amp, and leave the coloring to the digital processor. This works the best. Trust me Buddy, I’ve tried it all! Stamps and Justin Everman [Fuzz drive] are very tuff to beat…..

      Easy fix Ed! First decide if you would rather have 3 springs or 2. I prefer 3 but you may want the bar less stiff so use 2. The secret to getting the Floyd level is adjusting the spring claw. There should be 2 screws near where the springs attach to the body of the guitar (near the neck). If your bridge is to far off the body, tighten them. If the bridge is too low, loosen them. Keep trying until the bridge is level. You will then be all set. Of course you will need to do this with string on the guitar and it will cause them to go out of tune when you adjust the claw. So just retune and keep adjusting the claw till you get it where you want it.

      Roland JC amps are very good CLEAN amps.Their tone is very bright,the chorus is quite nice as is the vibrato.
      When using distortion,however,they tend to be too shrill and glassy,because the basic clean tone is set up that way.You might want to turn down the tone on your distortion for soloing(I do). I’ve seen Santana use TUBE amps,Boogies mostly.His tone is punchy and full of mid-range,so a Roland JC(very good)solid-state amp might not give you that tone.Fender Twins,on the other hand,are very powerful,warm,and sturdy.They don’t
      "break-up"(overdrive)like Marshalls,but with the right
      distortion box…she’s all the amp you’ll ever need!!
      Hope this helps
      P.S.The Fender Twin and the Les Paul is beautiful marriage!

      Does anyone have a Roland Jazz Chorus amp?
      I am considering buying a roland jazz chorus, probably
      the JC-90 because it is a little smaller than the 120.
      I’ve heard that these are one of the best clean sounding
      amps, which sounds appealing to me. I am a fan of the
      Knopfler and Becker tones. But how would this amp sound
      with an overdriven Les Paul? I’d like to be able to get
      a Santana-like tone as well as the clean strat sound but
      how do these amps handle a tone like that? I use overdrive
      a lot so I would want a good versatile amp to get clean
      and overdriven sounds. Any help would be appreciated.

      Using separate pedals will give you a pure guitar sound but its more expensive.
      Using one unit with all the effects will give you a plastic unatural guitar sound, but you get a lot of effects for relatively little price.

      Hmm.It’s hard to say which option is best.The multi-effects units are pretty good(some of them).You’ll have
      all your sounds in one unit,good for gigging and very
      compact.But I generaly prefer my mixed bag of stomp-boxes.When you mix MXR,Ibanez,Mutron,Boss and E.H.,the
      different curcuits that make these boxes gives you a
      unique sound.As opposed to having,say,all Digitech components.They both have good and bad points,so I use
      both multi. and boxes in different situations.I LOVE MY
      STOMP-BOXES!!

      yeah there are diferences. rosewood needs to be kept clean as does maple but rosewood should be oiled once in a while . i’ve been playing for twenty some years and have found difference in player comfort but not nessesarilly a lot of difference in sound although some swear that roewood sound warmer or something.i personally like the feel of a lauered maple neck but i do own a strat with roewood that i love tremendously . fret jobs have to be done with much care in either case;rosewood can be chippy whearas one must try not to chip brittle laquer on vintage maple necks tooi i have found that removing frets by driving them out sideways is neater removal as apossed to pulling them straight up

      Hmm.What kind of amp do you use?What kind of pickups??
      What kind of distortion?How do you hold pick?I’ll assume you’ve had the axe since 1983.Does it have a brass nut?Is the fret board clean? What person’s sound come to mind(sustain/bite)?

      For a FREE PC based multitrack recorder (eight track audio + effects + midi sequences) try Pro Tools. Theyve just released a free version to download from http://www.digidesign.com
      I havn’t tried it but it’ll be one a par with Cakewalk Home Studio and Cubasis.
      Once you get into recording via a PC (with Pro-Tools, Cakewalk, etc), you’ll never look at a four track again.

      Ive done a page about how we digitally record, including guitars at
      http://members.tripod.com/acmerock/shush_recording/shush_studio.htm

      : can one plug into the "line in" jack on the back of the computer and utilize a program to play the guitar through the computer and computer speakers. customize messages for online answereing machine, record wav file for various purposes, etc. Could someone please provide, in detail, what is needed to make this happen.

      Hmm.I don’t know how to explain technically.Choruses, flangers,phase shifters are really types of delays.They
      generaly work on SINE WAVES manipulation.They are classified as signal modulators.Choruses give you a bath-tub type sound with a swirling effect.Andy Summers
      (Police),Robert Fripp(King Crimson),Funkadelic,Prince,
      and a host of others used this sound.It was the main
      effect used back in the 80’s.They are VERY useful,
      especially for vocals! If I’m not using reverb on vocal
      tracks,then I’ll use Chorus to give them depth and color.Voodoo Labs makes a very good chorus,Maxons are V.G.,Small Clones are wild little gizmos!I also like the Boss CE-3,but I think the old MXR(big,yellow)are the best ever!

      The technology was very limited in Hendrix’s day.He got
      amazing results from his Marshall Stacks and Fuzz-Face
      pedals.But if you listen carefully his sound is not the same as the heavy crunch of today.Stevie Ray Vaughn
      is really a blues-man,nuff said.Eddie Van Halen used a
      Strat body with a Seymore Duncan (SH-5)humbucker! So,
      a person could spend 00.00 on a Marshall stack,or get
      an axe that’s really BUILT for shredding! The higher the output of your pickup,the more CRUNCH you’re gonna
      get!

      Overdrive and distortion are based on the same priciple
      …the square wave,which is produced when volume of a signal is "over-laoded"(too loud).Overdrive is the 1st
      level of square-wave distortion.Distortion is the 2nd
      level square-wave.It’s hotter(more gain)than overdrive.
      Fuzz is as mean as it gets.This is the highest level of
      saturation (gain)there is.It is much harder to manage and can change your sound tremendously!Overdrive,
      Distortion and Fuzz are all useful in the right situations.I can’t give the technical definition of square-wave,but OD,Dist.,and Fuzz are all based on the
      sqaure-wave.
      Hope this Helps

      Maple will be a bit brighter. Rosewood is a bit more mellow sounding. Necks don’t make or break the sound of a guitar though. It has to do with the combo of the type of wood used in the body, the hardware on the guitar, scale length, strings etc…

      Overdrive occurs when an amp is over-loaded by turning up the volume. Natural, tube-amp overdrive is considered by many to be the sound a guitar can produce. When an amp is overdriven, distortion is produced. So to answer your question, overdrive and distortion are the same thing. With pedals, however, overdrive implies a natural, tube-amp sound while distortion and fuzz produce harder, more unnatural sounds. I hope this helps.

      Hi all. Any suggestions how to increase my picking stamina? I play death metal and after two or three songs my right wrist and forearm are so tired that its impossible to maintain picking rythm with my fellow guitarist and my playing gets sloppy and noisy. If i use only very light palm-mute i don’t tire that easily, but its necessary to really lay my palm on the strings to get an aggressive sound. Should i build my forearm muscles or do i just pick the wrong way? Know any good excercises?

      Dude, I’m a big fan of Ibanez guitars. I feel that you get an awful lot of guitar for your money. Quality woods, excellent workmanship and great sound for often half the price of an identical guitar by another manufacturer. You would do well to visit your local guitar shops and play a few, and compare. I can’t speak for the pedal you refer to, but I love my "vintage" TS-9 Tubescreamer, and the re-issue is just as good.

      : well, there’s lots! some are footswitches, which just switch from one channel to another on an amp or turn on reverb n stuff. but they are specific to the amp.

      : the others are stompboxes. they mostly do their own thing in terms of sounds. like some are distortions, overdrives, flangers, reverbs, delays ect ect ect. there are also multi-effects pedals. these are bassically some of those stompbox effects all in one big odd looking pedal eg boss me-30. they’ll do pretty much the same job as the stompboxes. the multi’s are good if ur starting out, cos u get lots of stompbox tones for the price of about 3 stompboxes. the only sacrifice is a little quality and control, but its damn, DAMN better to have something than nothing at all.

      : why do you say quality and control is compromised. i’ve heard a lot of other guitarists say that switching on a multi effect pedal is a lot cleaner than with individual analog effects

      I think I understand your question,I’ll give it a shot.
      Sometimes the magnet inside the speaker coil can get weak with age or usage.They’ll start to sound strange,
      losing tone and other weird things.Someone else could
      probably explain this better than I can.But I’ll say this…THE SPEAKERS ARE YOUR SOUND!! All speakers are not created equal!Some are better than others for different reasons that vary with personal taste.GOOD
      SPEAKERS=GOOD SOUND,BAD SPEAKERS=SHITTY SOUND.Example:
      took my Twin to get the speakers RE-CONED(paper replaced).I told the tech,make sure you use the SAME TYPE OF PAPER that was in them originaly.I even took a sample of the original paper for a referrence.SO,while
      your amp may be well built,you could replace your speaker with a better one for better sound.YES,it DOES
      MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

        : Most amps I know of are, just amps. I heard that you need a : speaker for certain amps. When do yo need a speaker for them? And : why?Couldnt you just have ,like, 1 amp????? I agree with the others, especially Cranium Cruncher (who names their child Cranium Cruncher – poor guy). If you’ve got a combo – and it sounds like you have – then don’t be worrying about the speaker issue unless and until you’re thinking about changing your set-up. If you’ve got a separate amp head and speaker cab then choosing speakers would be an important issue. It is, at that point, very important, and frequently overlooked. Eddie G is quite right that your speakers can fundamentally affect your sound. Different speakers are designed with different styles in mind. Some are designed to distort early – good for playing blues/rock type stuff – while others will stay crystal clear up to quite high volumes, for clean jazz or country stuff. By all means get more specific about your present set-up and style and we’ll bore you further on the subject!

        I kinda got the different impression of what you’re actually asking than Eddie, so i’ll try… : Most amps I know of are, just amps. – you’re talking about a Combo? Like a box with a speaker and knobs for volume, tone , distortion etc. A combo is actually a combination of the amplifier (head) and the speaker. The head does the amplifying and the speaker just converts an electric signal into sound. :I heard that you need a speaker for certain amps. When do yo need a speaker for them? – when you want a powerful amp you get the head and the speaker cabinets separately, as you’ll propably want big speakers so you can make use of all that power your monster amp dishes out. Besides combos are heavy and burdensome to lug around,you could have smaller speakers at home for practice and big huge ones at rehearsal place for playing with your band, and you would only have to carry the head around if you didn’t want to (couldnt afford to) buy two amps.

      : : I have been playing songs recently, by blink 182, greenday,nirvana
      : : and so on, and I am wondering, what exactly is plam muting. I also
      : : would like advice on power chords(on three strings).
      : : I always hit the wrong strings, and my top string always buzzes when
      : : I hit it. Is practice the only answer to my first question or is ther an
      : : easier method of playing power chords?. If there are any experts on
      : : power chords out there, please give me some advice

      :
      : Palm muting is a technique where you place your picking hand and lightly rest it on the strings where they meet the bridge. This causes a percussive sound when you strum the strings. If you are playing a lot of Blink182, the song "all the small things" has palm muting throughout it. It can be heard during each verse. Most metal songs have some sort of palm muting going on as opposed to just strumming the strings and letting them ring.
      : As far as hitting the wrong strings and buzzing, these will get better with practice. Slow down and make sure you are pressing the string all the way down to the frets.

      The man is correct. Also, depending on your guitar your action could be too low. By that, I mean the distance from the open string to the fretboard. The distance is considerably LESS once you fret a string. Look at your neck from the side to see this. The buzzing sound you hear could be the string from your finger to the bridge rattling against the unplayed frets.

      gibson is selling a new line of kramers at very low prices. i have toyed with several of these as they are selling like hotcakes. i agree with the previous post – go with a simple guitar – no locking tremolo – and move up as necessary. the kramer line can be found at musicyo.com. keep in mind these new kramers are geared towards beginners. i’ve been playing for 15+ years and i had to get the kramer "V" for the fun of it and i was fairly impressed with the guitar for the sub 00 price tag. the fender strat you see at the stores for under 00 is also a great beginner guitar. my buddy has one of those he refuses to replace – a few minor modifications and he has a pretty nice axe.

      How many watts would I need to find in an amp, if I was ,just jamming
      or playing in a relativly small venue? What price ($) would I be lookin
      at?. I dont realy have any more than 350-400$ to spend. Do I need
      more money?

For some reason – don’t ask, because I don’t understand it! – valve amps seem to push out more volume than transistor amps of apparently equal power. I get the impression your living in the USA, where I understand things are cheaper than her e in the UK. I would expect to be able to set myself up a second hand 50W valve head and 2×12 speaker cabinet for about £250, which I believe is around $150. Check out some second-hand stores.

      If you already have a computer with soundcard all you need is a cheap jack adapter. Just plug the guitar into the linein of your sound card and run…

      Program->Accessories->Entertainment->Volume_Control to select linein via Properties…Recording

      And then

      Program->Accessories->Entertainment->Sound Recorder to create a wav file.

      If you have an SBlive, you’ll find it has built in realtime effects like chorus, flange, phaser, delay, autowah and a crude overdrive.

      If youre serious about DI recording guitars with a PC get Cakewalk9 and a Pod – for amazing professional results.

      Also check out a demo called Revalver – via http://www.hitsquad.com/smm

      : can one plug into the "line in" jack on the back of the computer and utilize a program to play the guitar through the computer and computer speakers. customize messages for online answereing machine, record wav file for various purposes, etc. Could someone please provide, in detail, what is needed to make this happen.

      Richy Blackmore and Jimmy Hendrix had no trouble getting heavy metal out of standard strats. Eddie Vanhallen replaced the bridge pickup with a humbucker to get a heavier sound. Jimmy Page mainly recorded with a telecaster.
      Ive found single coil pickups work great clean – though end up fuzzy with overdrive – whereas humbuckers sound muddy clean and smooth overdriven.

      A good comprimise might be an American ‘Fat Strat Texus Special’ with a Ducan Seymore at the tail.

      : Are the Ibanez S series guitars good? Specifically i’m looking at the SA160 and GSA20. Does anybody have any unput about these as far sound, durability, quality, and value? And do these stay in tune very well? And How well do these guitars (Ibanez in general) match up to the ESP LTD MH series guitars?

      I’ve been playing Ibanez for years and they are my favorite. But they are the same as everybody else. You get what you pay for. A 00 guitar is not as nice as a 00 guitar. Just buy the best you can afford and remember to play as many guitars as you can before you decide. Personally I would by a used S-series before I would buy a new SA or GSA. The action on the more expensive model is alot better as well as the pickups.
      Good luck.
      The ESP guitars are good to. It all a matter of what FEELS the best to you.

      The most important thing when buying a guitar is to play as many guitars as you can. Don’t worry about names and shapes and colors. Buy the guitar that FEELS the best for you. Personally, I’d rather play a 00 Ibanez than a 500 Strat. It’s all a matter of what FEELS right to you. Once you find the right guitar, then you can start looking for pedals that give you the sound that you want. Take your time. Don’t rush into a decision that you might regret later. Good luck.

      Remember. Play LOTS of guitars first.

      I myself have Classic plus les pauls (love the thin neck). They rock, but you wanna know what really kicks?? I have an American Standard Telecaster, also with a little ’59 in it. I put a Seth Lover PAF in the neck position, and I got a killer Les Paul with a Tele price tag. You are absolutely correct about losing the Strat sound with the little hum’s in the Strat, but I feel that it is the only way to make it crunch. I have moved on to a SRV Strat for that natural Strat tone. Love it!!

      Hmm.Strats and Squires are cool.But single coil guitars can be a little noisey.Ibanez makes pretty good
      budget guitars,also ESP and Carlo-Robelli.For a beginner,I would stay away from locking tremelos.They
      still give some problems,especialy with tuning.For distotion,I’d probably go with the Ibanez Smash-box(0).It’s got lots of gain,but is easy to use.Old pedals are really for experienced guitar guys,who know
      the’re capabilities and uses.Also,if there’s somthing
      wrong with it,repair jobs can be expensive.I’d get him
      something thats more disposable than vintage.

      Hmm.Even cheap guitars can sound good.I think the problem could be 1 of 3 things.On a 7 radius neck(old
      strats)the neck curvature is greater.So the neck tilt
      (truss rod)might need adjusting.The nut of the guitars
      might be worn down a bit,causing the G (middle)string to vibrate off the frets(rattling).Also,check your bridge saddles.They might might be worn down also, causing the string to buzz on the frets.
      Hope this helps

      with my strats(I’m a born strat-man),so this bothered
      me.I went down to my favorite shop ,asked a bunch of

      the strat tone.Went to EMG single coils,gave them THE

      some times you may find that the pickups can be to close to the strings and actualy stop them from vibrating for as long especialy when you are using ultra light guage strings which most players of metal and hard rock prefer. you may also be bending to far and the next fret up may be stoping the string from vibrating if this is the case more relief is needed in the neck. one other problem may be poor technique

      I’m refering to an annoying fuzzy sound I get when I play any fret on a G string (and to a lesser extent B and E) – it sounds particularly bad through certain overdrive/amp settings.
      I have a number of nice – though inexpensive guitars – all with the same problem regardless of action settings – and the necks all seem fine.
      I’m just wondering if you get the same annoying fuzz with really expensive Gibson Les Pauls, Delux Strats, PRSs, etc – or are they fuzz free?

      Also will a different set of strings sound better without going to a heavier guage (I use ernie ball super slinky 9s)

      Palm muting is a technique where you place your picking hand and lightly rest it on the strings where they meet the bridge. This causes a percussive sound when you strum the strings. If you are playing a lot of Blink182, the song "all the small things" has palm muting throughout it. It can be heard during each verse. Most metal songs have some sort of palm muting going on as opposed to just strumming the strings and letting them ring.
      As far as hitting the wrong strings and buzzing, these will get better with practice. Slow down and make sure you are pressing the string all the way down to the frets.

      Flamingo is a big pink bird, Flamenco is a genre of music from Spain. As a genre of music Flamenco stands apart from
      other Spanish music. The confusion is partly due to people relating anything that sounds

      I have a Gibson flying V guitar (1983), with stock Gibson pickups. I thought about finding a compressor or overdrive pedal to give more boost. Even when I turn the gain all the way up, I find that my notes die out too soon when I”m bending strings during solo playing. I’m thinking about putting higher-output pickups in my guitar, perhaps EMG’s 81’s or an 85. Does anyone have a suggestion out there?

      That guitar should stay in tune perfectly. There is quite a bit to keep an eye on with a Floyd Rose. First think that I have found with unproperly set up Floyd’s is the fact that the bridge is not parallel with the body. As you sit with the guitar in your lap, look down the guitar to see the gap between the bridge and the body. You want this to be perfectly parallel with the guitar tuned to whatever tuning you use. This is adjusted with two fillups head screws. You have to open the back plate, and you will see three springs going from the bridge to a metal anchor that is screwed to the body. To bring the back of the bridge towards the body, screw them in, and vice versa. Also, before you lock down the nut, you want to tune it, stretch the shit out of the strings, and tune it again, and keep doing this until it stays in tune without the nut locked. Then lock down the nut. This is all a big pain in the ass, but your guitar should stay in tune better than any other bridge made. I don’t use tham anymore, but I do respect the stability of them. If this is too much trouble, you should consider a guitar without a tremolo, and has locking tuners. That is the easiest setup.

      You can get a great heavy metal sound with a strat. I have been doing it for years. The biggest problem with using a Strat for this kind of music, is the sound gets a little muddy with the stock single coils. If you listen to Jake E. Lee on the Badlands cd’s, he is using a Strat with single coils. I have upgraded to Seymour Duncan PAF style pickups. They are double coil pickups that fit into the Strat’s single coil pickguard. They sound fantastic. Also, if you are going to use a Strat for Heavy Metal, I strongly suggest using Schaller locking tuners.

      Hmm. I’m not sure which model Kahler you have.In your
      case I think there are some screws near the saddles. You’ll need an allen key to turn them.My Kahler has
      traditional allen screws on each saddle,so yours might
      have just one big screw in the center of saddle.
      Hopr this helps

      I have a 1983 Gibson flying V with a Kahler locking tremelo and I want to make an adjustment of raising the string height. How is this done?

      : Can you make your fingers thinner by losing weight?

      Weight isn’t an issue. My ex guitar teacher weighed 350 lbs. In ’69, he was rated the 2nd best jazz player in the stater,behind Joe Pass. So, maybe you should practice more.

      : You can get a cheap (cost) guitar at any music store. I would recommend a Mustang. They look like Fenders (which are expensive) and sound OK. Try to avoid something serious until you know he is gonna stick with it. Best website I have seen is

      I have a sweet 1969 Gibson SG. It’s woodgrain finish and original hardware and electronics with the exception of the tailpiece – it was changed to a BadAss (works well). Thanks guys.

      Hey Fred, I have very acidic hands and the only strings I’ve found that really last are Dean Markley. Now that’s just me. I think they last longer and keep there tone longer also. Just keep trying different ones until you find what works for you. Jim

      well, there’s lots! some are footswitches, which just switch from one channel to another on an amp or turn on reverb n stuff. but they are specific to the amp.

      the others are stompboxes. they mostly do their own thing in terms of sounds. like some are distortions, overdrives, flangers, reverbs, delays ect ect ect. there are also multi-effects pedals. these are bassically some of those stompbox effects all in one big odd looking pedal eg boss me-30. they’ll do pretty much the same job as the stompboxes. the multi’s are good if ur starting out, cos u get lots of stompbox tones for the price of about 3 stompboxes. the only sacrifice is a little quality and control, but its damn, DAMN better to have something than nothing at all.

      There’s not really a contest. As long as you can get hold of a pre 1986 strat your happy. All these were hand made by fender. After 86 Fender were bought out by Arbiter and your not going to get a hand made model (only a crappy factory model).

      If you’re going to choose, don’t bother with any modern day strat no matter what country. Make sure it’s a pre 86 US Standard or better, then you’ll begin to notice the difference, I promise!!

      Personally I go for Tele’s, a much better, fuller, bold, fat, bluesy sound. They are the dogs, especially with Lace Sensor Gold pickups on ’em!

      Howdy. The biggest differences between the American and Mexican Made guitars are primarily in workmanship and materials. The mexican models in general have poor fret dressing. Run your hand along the side of your neck. Ten to one, you will have a very rough feeling along the side because the frets stick out past the fretboard. The only reason for this is that the mexican plants don’t take the time to properly dress and polish the frets. In general, the wood used in a Mexican guitar is of lower quality, with a looser grain, and higher warping tendencies. In addition, The pickups in an American made guitar will be of a much higher quality than a comparable Mexican-made. If you’re worried about the cost, you might want to check our Musician’s Friend http://www.musiciansfriend.com Instead of 00 for a mexican guitar, it will be closer to 400. You can also find good deals on American instruments. If you have more questions, feel free to e-mail them to me.

      Could anyone tell me off the top of their head what kind of pickups Squier installed in their Pro Tone Series Strats? I already tried to find out on Squier and fender’s website, and MrGearhead had nothing. Thanks!

      Rick, Like I’ve said before I’ve owened mainly Strats but i do own a couple of Ibanez’s. There not Basses but to tell you the truth, I’ve never owened a finer guitar as far as quality and tone. Great playing guitars! Like I said, I do know that my old Bass player played an Ibanez 5 string and it had really great tone and I don’t remember him ever having a problem with tuning. Anyway Good luck on your choice. Jim.

      I’m currently in the process of shopping for a new Strat. I’ve owened several over the years but have never been able to buy an American model. To be honest, after playing both I really can’t see the 500 to 600 dollar difference. I mean I’m not a collector, I’m a player and if the Mexican plays and sounds as well as the American then shouldn’t I stay with the mexican model? Comments?

        The reason why you cant get it to sound punk, is cos its called Metal Zone. Its for Metal and Heavy style guitaring. You should get a Boss OverDrive pedal or just a plain Boss Distortion pedal. You’ll get the punk sound out of that

      Hmm.I’ve never been a big fan of active pickups,cause they have their own sound.The Dirty Fingers pickups had
      a great reputation back in the day.Pickups this old
      tend to lose their wax(potting)over time.Check the back
      of the pickups to see if they still have wax on them.
      If not,then have them repotted,PROFESSIONALY!! Also
      make sure the volume pot cavity is sheilded properly,in
      addition to the usual grounding techniques.
      Good Luck

      I bought two of these pickups 10 years ago. They were factory lasts, 2 of the last 7 the factory supposedly had.

      These pickups have a wonderfully fat tone (the fattest I’ve ever heard from a humbucker), but they have a very annoying high end squeal at close range to the amplifier with high gain. I have each one individually installed in a 79 Les Paul Artist and an 89 Les Paul Studio, both in the bridge position, and I am getting the same result out of both guitars, through different amplifiers.

      Any passive electronic modifications I can try to alleviate this annoyance? Or will I have to go the active route?

      Any input would be appreciated.

      G.F.

      A couple of years back, my spouse and I went through some very rough times. While I was travelling in the states she found it necessary to sell my whole collection of instruments. These last 2 in question are the older aluminum necked Kramer basses. One was fretted and the out was fretless.
      If anyone hears anything, please let me know but dropping me a note at [email protected]
