How much would a used-acoustic guitar cost?

I'VE GOT A 1999 LIMITED EDITION TAKAMINE. IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL... PLAYS BEAUTIFIL.... SOUNDS GREAT...
THE ONLY DRAWBACK I HAVE FOUND WITH IT IS THAT IT GOES THROUGH BATTERIES
LIKE CRAZY ( NORMALLY FOUR HOURS OF CONSTANT PLAYING AND YOU HAVE TO
REPLACE THEM SO HAVE LOTS OF SPARES !! )

: this is my first post, but i have a question about used guitars. i'm considering buying a used takamine limited edition '00 guitar for $999. i really like the feel and play of the guitar, but my father is worried that the electronics on a used guitar might fail on me.

: so, does anyone here have any experience (good or bad)with used guitars? or better yet, with takamine a/e guitars? thanks in advance...

: Can anyone tell me how to tune my guitar on CGEGCE??
: i can do everything except the 4th string on E
: thanks

Well, you should can. ¿Have you got an acoustic, a hardtail system, a floyd? ¿What string gauges do you use? Don't be scared if you feel the tension is excesive, the guitar should support it easily and the string won't blow away. Anyway, try using another 3rd as a 4th, maybe a 3rd of a higher gauge to equal tensions. (It's just an idea)

Congrats on a great guitar!
Where on the neck is the laminate cracked? If it's on the joint where body meets neck you may have to adjust the truss rod. Have you changed string sizes or anything else like that lately?

what sort of stuff do you want to know? i play electric and acoustic, which do you play? i'm quite familiar with both. my email is [email protected] if you want to ask me anything

Your best bet is to check out www.musiciansfriend.com.

: i know you all think i cant play, so as a special treat, if you give me your email address, i will send you an mp3 of my playing. i am not crap, i am god
...
please send me your mp3; I play too, and I wanna hear your play; with best regards bj

This is pretty much a loaded question, because everyone has their own opinion. I'd have to say D'Addiro's handle the most abuse, but tend to go dead long before they snap. Still, it's easier to finish a gig with dead strings than to have to change one onstage...

I tend to play hard and have found I like the DR tite-fit strings to handle pretty well, but I still have t change them once a week.

Dude.AS far as I'm concerned,D'Addrio's are the industry standards.Most pro guys I know use them.
Good Luck

I think it is the first and 5th number that dictates the year. If so that would make your les paul 1980. I hope ive been of some help

hey! I played for a church twice. I decided that wasnt what God would have me do with my talent.
i have been in a christian metal band for the last 4 years and quit last summer. I am now working on a solo cd tthats mixed of praise and worship stuff redone and originals as well as about 5 steve vai-ish instrumental lead stuff.

drop me a line and we can chat.

peace and blessings, bro

: anyone out there who r playing for church..perhaps we can share some insights, encouragement or a ministry tip or two...

I've never heard of Tradition, but I know that Yamaha makes pretty good guitars and their customer support is excellent. From a musicians standpoint I still believe a good acoustic is the best to learn on if he's never played before.

Use your word search an see if Mike Metz from Thesis Audio is online. He should still be at Garten's Music in Wichita Kansas. The guy thoroughly understands Marshalls. I occasionaly use a Original 60's model 59 that he did a front end mod job on,, it kicks! He uses a ready made kit,,fromwhere,, I dunno
Good luck, Maxz

: Would anyone know where I could find the head of any fender twin reverb. I need the chassis only with all of the guts. I have the box with speakers but no brains. If anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it. Thanx, will
