problem with G-string (guitar string not the other one)
Hello, I've been playing guitar for one year and I bought an electric guitar just one month ago (a cheap Squier Fat Strat). I've noticed a problem with the G string. It's perfectly tuned when I pluck the string open but when I play it on frette 1 or 2 and check with my tuner the note is not what it should be . Also, basic…

Bridges on a Tele Bigsby
Has anyone put a B5 Bigsby on their tele? I did recently and the bridge that came with it seems like it sits way too high. Right now I have the poles for the saddle-rollers taken out completely. When they are in, it seems unless the strings sit exactly in the middle one of the poles will unscrew on it's own while I'm…

How do I know if it's "the one?"
I read a lot that people say, "Once you play it, you'll know." but what if I don't know much about playing the guitar? :o I play the bass so I have a pretty good understanding of scales (only for 4 strings though) and very few chords but I don't play with a pick so I've gotta get used to that. but when I'm at the music…

Binuaral Recording. What is it?
Can somebody dumb this down from me.. I understand it makes you feel as if you are in the room.. while they are recording. Since the mic's are in each ear do you hear things with the left that you would hear if it was happening in your left ear in the studio? I know Sleight of Hand, Of The Girl, Rival and others were…

little bit of help

Its got a "Made in the USA" on it, and it has an 8 digit number inside the guitar. I thought this number might be a serial number. It could also be a…

reel to reel
I have a few old reel to reel tapes that I want to transfer into something that I can listen to. Does anyone know where I could take these tapes to have them converted into something more modern? Also, how much could I expect to pay for something like that? They have some sentimental value, and I don't want to lose the…

Tuner Freq.
I have a krog CA-30 tuner, and the directions don't really give you a good idea as to what Hz to set my tuner to. It goes from 410 Hz to 480 Hz, but so far I haven't found a setting I like. Is there any set freq. for different styles of playing?

Vintage Hot Rod 57 Strat
The Hot Rod 57 Strat has peaked some of my interest but none of my local music stores have them in stock so I haven't tried one out yet. I really like the color and the shape of the neck. I was wondering if anybody has played one of these and what you guys honestly think of them. It's about $600 - $700 more dollars than…

Musicians Friend
I was just checking out some Strats on Musicians Friend and I noticed for the American Deluxe Strat they had a color that I really liked.

Java Boost
Finally gave in and ordered my Java Boost. Figured I better do it now before they discontinue these for lack of available quality germanian transisiters like Fulltone has done on the Soul Bender and the '69. Now I no longer have to borrow one!
