: hi i want to get a gutair aucstic and with nylon strings can you give me prices.
: & i wanna do the drums how much for a cool drum set.
: thanks Megan

I want a black gutar that dosen't cost alot

Yes I have it... I also think it sounds really beautifully... We're probably two of the few lucky owners of that pedal...

: I need the history of Robert Flemmings Jr.'s claim to have invented the guitar on March 3, 1886

Inedd to know what inspired Robert Flemmings and how he enhanced the guitar string

: Tom delonge actually uses a mesa boogie triple rectifier on the red channel with gain at about 5 and a marshall jcm900 dual reverb for the clean sound with the gain at 10. but the reason hid guitar is not so distorted is because he only has the volume on his guitar up a little as i was told. but as for your boss gt-6 im sorry but i cant help you get a sound like toms from that. sorry!

Firstly, you need a guitar with a humbucker, don't bother using any distortion pedals; his sound comes straight from the pickup to the amp. Try a marshall amp with these settings:

Drive - 4/5
Treble - 6/7
Mid - 3/4
Bass - 8
Volume - 5
Reverb - 1

P.S. A Mesa/Boogie Triple rectifier also gives a great sound

Just pull em out (gently) with a pair of pliers

: i ve taken the strings off, but i have these pegs and they won't come out of the guitar but my strings go through them, what should i do?

: 1968: 0016c == $675 mint
: 1996: 00028ge(golden era == $475 mint

Does anyone have an idea of the value of a Martin 00-18G guitar? It is in fair shape for the shape it's in. It is appox. 40 to 45 years old. Uses gut strings.
Serial number is 167097.

It mostly depends on the type of music you play and the sound you're looking for. If you like the blues, I my opinion you can't go wrong with a Duncan 59 for the bridge. If you like metal and/or punk type music I'd lean towards a higher output like a Duncan Invader, Duncan Custom, or even a Duncan Distortion. (can you tell I'm a duncan fan?) You could also look at the Dimarzio line. Both companies also make some pretty decent mini-humbuckers...browse their web pages and seymourduncan.com and dimarzio.com. They have tone charts that can help you pick the right one. Also, if you're on a budget check out customshopparts.com He doesn't make the greatest pickups in the world but for the price they can't be beat. EMG makes some really good passive pickups as well as their actives. I have an EMG noisless single coil in one of my guitars and it sounds real good, w/o any of the noise associated with standard single coils.

Good luck. The hardest part of selecting pickups is that you never seem to get a chance to hear what they sound like before you install them. If you have the money to spare, Guitar Center will let you make returns if you don't like them and try something different, but they charge more than other sources.

If you go the the above address you can look at Seymour Duncan's tone chart. It will help you compare output as well as the tone strengths and weakness.

Matching the right pickup to the wood can be tricky. Below is some information I've collected on basswood. I hope it helps:

Basswood
Several [Fender] Japanese reissue models use Basswood [as body material]. Produces a light (body wt less than 4 lb.) guitar though some people find the sound to be too "dark". Basswood is a very soft wood and cannot handle a lot of abuse (though who among us would abuse our guitars?).
Ideal for loud high gain tones [when used as body material]. The sound is smooth, without many sharp edges. Attack is moderate and sustain is round and even. ( Rich Lanser: "The Quest For Ultimate Tone"; Guitar Player magazine; February 1992; quoted acc. to Michael G. Peck (pe[email protected]); rec.music.makers.guitar; February 7, 1994)
For a solid color guitar it is one of the better woods. It is used by many well known large manufacturers. It comes from Northern U.S.A. and Canada. (exoticwoods.com; 1998)
This is a lighter weight wood offering Strat bodies usually under 4 lbs. The color is white, but often has nasty green mineral streaks in it. This is a closed-grain wood, but can absorb a lot of finish. This is not a wood for clear finishes, and it is quite soft, not good for much abuse. Soundwise, Basswood has a nice, warm tone. [As body material.] (warmoth.com; November 1998)
Strong Midrange, balanced tone and light weight. Light color and almost no grain patterns Basswood is best suited for solid colors or is excellent as a backing wood for a maple top. [As body material.] (www.suhrguitars.com; January 2000)

I have an old fender blackface not hotrodded but a good amp. I use a Ibanez DS10 Distortion Charger and it workds great (as do others see reviews at http://www.harmony-central.com/Effects/Data/Ibanez/DS10_Distortion_Charger-01.html). Hard to find in local stores though. Worth the small price if you get one.

: I've got a brand new Fender Hotrod deluxe amp and it sounds great when i'm plugged directly into it. But for the style of music i play, I need a different kind of distortion, more like a marshall style. The pedal i'm using now is a Korg GFX1000 or something. it has lots of digital effects that i don't use and it sort of covers up the tube sound. any ideas?
