hey elle!
If you have strong hands thats what counts. I have big hands but spend ages trying to master tricky stretches! G

i'm gonna throw you a few names. hopefully this is what you are looking for. Ibanez has the thinest necks on the market, the wizard and wizard 2. you'll find these on the RG,S,and AX series guitars, and on top of that Ibanez makes good quality instruments.
washburn makes a few very thin, very comfortable necks, and some good quality short scale models.
If you dont mind spending quite a bit of money, the guitar maker Taylor makes, in my opinon, the nicest,easiest playing acoustics in the world,period. the only problem there is they only have two models under (take a deep breath!!!) $1300.00. Let me know how the search goes.

Most Fender Telecasters have pretty thin necks. Little tweaking has to be done on a lot of them to get a low string hight, which is definately a bonus (to me anyway). Stay away from the Telecustom '72 - very fat neck. All the squire Telecasters have a fairly thin neck (not extremely thin though). Ibanez guitars definately are the one's to go for, for thin necks, but they cost a lot more than what you could get suitable.

First of all he uses a Fender Telecaster Plus. It's slightly modified. It has a switch in between the Volume and Tone knobs (I think) that cuts the signal, between the pickups. So he can create tremolo and tapping tremolo effects with this.

He uses a Marshall Shreadmaster, Boss Metal Zone, Boss Turbo Overdrive (I think - it might be the Super Overdrive), DOD envelope filter, Digitech Whammey, Boss Volume Pedal, Homemade Tremolo stompbox, Roland Space Echo (rack mounted), and Electro-Harmonix Small Stone This is most of them. A couple left out though. He uses a Vox AC30 for non-distorted sounds and a Fender Deluxe 85 for distorted sounds. He also uses a Boss Line Selector. Boss TU-12 tuner is also in his setup.

If your PC has a sound card and speakers just download a tuning program (there are 100's of them), they can generate tones to tune against, or you can tune 'digitally' with a microphone (for acoustic) or the guitar directly connected (electric).

You can also tune to the phone dialtone, I belive in the US it is F (again sure you can find this info on the web too, so I won't bother repeating it).

And as a minimum, just tune it so it sounds good to you and is 'in tune with itself'... being 'out of tune' isn't that terrible when practicing, you just really notice it when you play with 'tuned' instruments, and if you are then you can tune to them anyways... well that my 2 cents.

: I need to tune my guitar, where can I find a 'proper' key to tune it to with no other music equiptment but my out-of-tune guitar around? i.e. Where can I find the pitch of and E or A?

: ibanez jem 7vwh is a good guitar for clssic metal sound and lead-shred tone?

Yes,but I find it sounds so cool for fusion music...hi

: I need to change the strings on a mid 90'es strat with a fender licensed floyd rose trem. Just bought it and can't get my head around the string attachment system in sadlle please adwise

I used to have one of those. I tried: loosening everything in sight with an allen wrench; using a combination of force and the muttering of oaths, but finally just took it in and had it removed.
Surely there's somebody around here with the aptitude for this.

how can you own such rich boy's gear and not know how to get a good sound? play around with the farkin knobs untill u get the sound u like. but if you want that sound so typical of modern bullshit metal bands, run your axe into a graphic eq withth 400 hz band down. take down the mid and gun it

yeah, what do you need to know

You could just put like a leather shoelace through the hole in the strap and then secure it to the headstock, or install a 'knob' where you want it.

: I play a Yamaha FG-335 (acoustic), which has one knob at the bottom of the body for the strap to connect, but no such knob on the neck or head. My friend bought me a new strap with holes at either end, but no strings to tie. I can attach one side of it to the knob, but don't know what to do about the other end. Am I missing something? Please help!

if you're like me and you detest trems, yourquickest fix is to open up the back and jam something in there. I tend to use pennies but you can use wood blocks,rubber stoppers,and all kinds of shit. otherwise if you like your trem (cursed things) hipshot makes an awesome little thing called the tremsetter. you can order it at most music stores.
