Strat Pickguard
Hi.
I'm modifying my old, but extremely good Ibanez guitar. I want the sound of a Strat, and the playability of my Ibanez.
I bought 3 vintage low noise single coils as replacement for my old pickups, whish were 2 single and 1 Humbucker. Of cause I needed a new pickguard as well, but an original Strat pickguard would not fit my Ibanez, so I bought a rectangular pickguard, and now I’m about to cut the shape and the holes for the pickups. The shape is not the problem, but placing the pickups exactly on the right spot I find very difficult. Does anybody know where I can find measurements or a 1:1 blueprint of an original Fender Stratocaster pickguard.
Best Regards
Sjøgge.

Thanks,
Jerry
Re: Boss BR-8 drummer??
Hey Jerry,
I just purchased my BR-8 and am trying to figure out how to hear the drum track on playback. Have you figured it out yet? Let me know if you do. This little box has so many features it is incredible.

MARSHALL SLASH HEAD 100 WATT
I can buy a second hand Marshall Slash 100 Watt Head. Is this a good amp?
Re: MARSHALL SLASH HEAD 100 WATT
: I can buy a second hand Marshall Slash 100 Watt Head. Is this a good amp?
I happen to think so - but if you like reverb in your amp look elsewhere. I have one, but don't use it much - just takin' care of it. Don't forget to match it up with a cab that contains celestion greenback speakers in it if you want to hear the complete setup. How much are you looking to give for this one? Since they don't make them any more, they all must be somewhat used....I'm not even sure what they're worth these days.
Re: MARSHALL SLASH HEAD 100 WATT
: I can buy a second hand Marshall Slash 100 Watt Head. Is this a good amp?---YES who are u buying it of i want it loldude its a pretty sweet amp
dystonia-focal
Dear Tommy,
I have reviewed your site and unfortunate circumstances with focal dystonia..It appears that you most likely
have action induced dystonia- dystonia caused by repetitious finger movement. I am a nurse at Columbia
with dystonia and have just established a new patient advocacy group called Care4Dystonia in NYC.
I myself have dystonia but I still work in critical care
despite abnormal movements..Currently I get treated with the new toxin..
Botox has been beneficial in musician induced dystonia.
We have one specific MD who primarily deals with musicians with focal dystonia.
He is a musician as well- the Julliard Scholl in NYC..
I am interested in helping you get the right treatment.
Please email me via our new www.care4dystonia website..
I would love to hear from you. Dystonia is at times difficult to live..
especially on a daily basis..
best wishes,
beka

helping out with musicians and dystonia
Would any of the on line guitarist-musicians be willing to
come together and "jam' in a benefit concert to help those with focal dystonia as in Tommy's case..
If so, please contact us ..at www.care4dystonia.org.
Your help would make a big difference..to empower many with focal dystonia as well as musicians with the disorder as it is very common..Learn more about on our site...

Goya G125
Bought my guitar around 1980. Even though it's been used quite a bit, the body is in excellent condition as I've taken good care of it. Can anyone give me any info on value of it? Also, any history of Goya guitars would be appreciated. Thanks so much, Ellen

A free guitar teaching newsletter
Hi:
I write a free monthly teaching newsletter that visually examines
theoretical concepts for guitar. Anyone can sign up to receive it and
the sole focus is to help guitarists make connections to become
better guitar players.
There is no cost, you can cancel anytime, and it is loaded with
graphics, flash and gif animations, chords and scale diagrams. You
can ask questions, chime in with your opinion and join a community of
guitarists that are actively improving. We also have a very strict
privacy policy.
If you are trying to expand your knowledge base and understand the
guitar, you will find valuable answers here. Everyone who subscribes
immediately gets all the back issues too (over 50 pages). This
newsletter focuses only on teaching and it is FREE.
You can check out the October 2000 edition without signing up at the
page listed below. The next edition will be published on the 15th of
the month.
This month we will look at seventh triads and how they cascade across
and down the fretboard. Also we will examine the blues scale and key
signature.
Thanks, I hope this helps.

What's up with this "BIG MUFF"?
Is the 'Big Muff' Fuzz-pedal really worth buying? Please, does any of u guys have one? Please tell me about it, I don't want to spend so much money on a pedal if its crap.
Re: What's up with this "BIG MUFF"?
dear samir,
the 'big muff' is a real fuzz pedal. it has a very tense, thick, but also muddy and searing tone. it's similar to the sound of the main themes of "satisfaction" or "spirit in the sky".
i have a demo on my homepage at
http://www.designwerk.de/franjo/pages/home.ram
with the sologuitar through my big muff.
another great record with a big muff on is danny toan - big foot. he uses a big muff all the time.
in the most cases, it's not recommendable for rhythm work, but if You're into mudhoney, it'll be great!
franjo
Re: What's up with this "BIG MUFF"?
O-ya, if you want some FAT fuzz, big muff is awsome, its very enjoyable with powercords too
Re: What's up with this "BIG MUFF"?
What's up with Danny Toan? I had an album of his called "First Serve" back in the late 80's I would like to hear it again. Anyone know where I can purchase it from?
Danny Toan
Still looking? It is not available on CD. Write to me via email. I have a copy that was made from the vinyl.
Re: What's up with this "BIG MUFF"?
The big muff is a bad dude. You can blow up cheap amps with it. If your looking for the most unbridalled out of control distortion the BM is for you. Ipersonally found it to be just to much. compression might help.
Re: What's up with this "BIG MUFF"?
BUY A JCM 900 WITH 5881 POWER TUBES IN IT, PLUG IN A STRAT AND A BIG MUFF AND YOU´LL HAVE A BUNCH OF TRIPLE RECTIFIERS BEGING TO HAVE A TAST OF THE LOVIEST DISTORTION ON EARTH

How much is it worth?
I received a Sigma DM-4CV guitar about 5 years ago I cannot find anything about it, not even a price. I'v seen DM-4 around but never a DM-4CV, serial #:60315002
It's an acoustic. Any info would be great. Thanks.
Re: How much is it worth?
A DM-4CV will range downward from $400 depending upon age & condition. 5 years old, in good condition, I would say about $275. Sigma is a division of CF Martin, the guitars are assembled overseas, with finishing and inspection done by Martin.
Re: How much is it worth?
I purchased a new DM-4CV in 1990. I paid 319.99 plus tax.
case for Ibanez AR250
The Ibanez AR 250, a LesPaul-type double cutaway guitar, usually comes without a guitar case, so that is why I'll need one. My local Ibanez dealer told me, though, that it won't fit into those inexpensive standard cases for LesPaul-type guitars. Is that true, and does anybody know the dimensions of the body?
Re: case for Ibanez AR250
Try these ones:
You'll find GATOR cases on www.attrade.ru

Re: how to tune a 12 string guitar
Tune it as you would a six string. The smaller/thinner strings should be tuned to an octave, or twelve notes higher than the thick/normal string. You do know how to tune a six, right?
