the tighter[lower number]the guage, the easier it will be to bend.. so .09s would be best if you really wanna go crazy. they are a lot tighter tho, so they are suceptible to breaking easier. so you might wanna go with 0.10s instead. :)

12 strings sound like 2 guitars. they usually arent very loud but sound beautiful.a 12 string is basically a 6 string with the e,a,and d strings tuned up an octave. i personally like 6 strings but use a 12 string as a back up.i would reccomend spending alot on a 6 string and find a cheap 12. ovation makes a nice sounding 12 for a reasonable price but their 6 strings arent very good.: What are the major reasons/differences an acoustic guitar player would choose a 6-string over a 12-string, or vice versa?

The main reason of course is because of the sound. I use both a 6 and 12 in solo performances (one on Nov 19*, as a matter of fact) and in my 11 or 12 song set, I will use the 12 string on 4 or 5. The songs that I do on the 12 just do not sound right on the 6; the songs on the 6 won't work on the 12 because of hammers, bends, slides, bar chords, etc. that are very difficult if not impossible on the 12!

: I just got a three person band together. We can play less then ten songs but we plan on being really good in the months to follow. But right now we want a band name. This has become a problem. We aren't scary or mystic but we want a good name. How do you think of good band names? Dictionary? Weed?

okay, iv foudn out the easiest way to make a band name is to make up a song in ur head and think about all the words that u made up. like i was messing around in the car making up songs and i came acoss "no treatment" (that is my band name u cant use it) but i mean u can make a funny name " the fetus eaters" or watever.

FLIM is a pretty cool name.

Well, you do get what you pay for.
Think of it like this.........
Body woods. Some produce more tone and resonance. Some are made up of 3 or more pieces of wood, glued together. One piece bodies are better, exept for neck throughs. Cheap drift wood is simply cheap.
Necks.Probably the most important part. Neck throughs will cost more , but will have more comfort( at the neck joint) more tone, more natural sustain. Bolt on's are ok too. Just remember that quality wood and fretwork cost money. Do you want a cheap neck with the frets stabbing your hand when you move up and down? Or do you want a "smooth" feel all around? Size also counts. Cheap guitars have small frets, which are harder to bend.
Hardware. Original Floyds are awesome, some imitations truely suck. Again quality. Your choice, do you want to stay in tune or not? German made Schaller's are very well made.
Pickups. Some sound cool, some don't. Some sound "heavy", while some just hum and buzz.
All in all, don't get me wrong. You don't have to go broke buying a guitar. Just never compromise. Make sure you know what you want.Learn more about various woods and tone , including parts. Then you will be able to make an educated purchase.
On a final note, some guitars cost a little more because they are made in USA. The same company may offer a similar product thats made in India or Mexico.
The quality is still close if not the same, but think about it. The big guitar company's send there products to be made in "Sweat Shops" so THEY can save money!

Where do you live? My husband and I were in San Francisco last week looking at guitars. We found a BC-Rich Warlock for $350 brand new at Guitar Center. I heard though they cutaways chip really easy, and they now are cheap made. I think Twitchdoctor is right though, you get what you pay for. Try looking at pawn shops. My husband traded a gun for a Jackson. Good luck!

Ample reverb, some delay(about 2 or 3 repeats) maybe add some chorus if you like. Don't saturate the distortion too much, or you will get this ugly hissing, sizzling sound. Well, not of course if you like this sort of sound.
If you have a nice distortion/ clean sound, just try out differnt settings on the above Reverb,Delay, Chorus.

Really Korg AX100G is good.
But for good solo sound only effects are not enougf. It depends on your finger sound too.

With best regards, David.
