hi folks,
here's the deal. Just joined a surf guitar band, i have recently restrung a strat style guitar but the tremelo bridge is sitting flush against the body so i can only bend down (!) but not up !

Hi,

Is there an easy way to solve the impedance problem you face if wanting to put parts of your mix through guitar stomp boxes? Is it OK to just use balanced -> unbalanced cables, or is there more to it than that?

Okay, let me explain - I'm helping my friend who is an amazing singer produce songs that me and her have written. One of them is intended to be an upbeat pop/rock song and I basically wrote it so that there is an occasional heavy amped pop guitar and then theres a more softer lighter one thats playing like eight notes throughout much of the song.

Hey, I was just wondering what VST's you all use for straight in guitar sounds, especially distorted effects, and what you'd recommend? I have one which is decent, but it lags my computer like nothing else when I put it on multiple guitar tracvks, and it's not ideal for every song I'm doing, it's a bit heavy overdrivey. Thanks for the input!

A guitar that I am working on won't stay together XO. The screws that hold the faceplate/bridge down aren't doing their job because they have apparently been removed several times and the threads are completely worn down. I looked into wood filler and actually purchased some, but I'm thinking buying longer screws might be an easier fix. Has anyone dealt with this before?

Need a tuner to a. tune guitar and b. perform intonation checks with. It MUST be able to do alternate tunings, preferably chromatic. It must also have line level input, I'm not a fan of the 'singing tuner'. It must also be accurate enough to accurately set intonation for clients. I'm open to handheld tuners as well as stompbox tuners.

I have a G-Track USB microphone that I also use to plug my acoustic-electric guitar into. Is there a program that I can install on Vista that will allow me to sound like I'm playing different instruments when I'm playing my guitar? E.g., play note C on guitar and it will sound like different types of guitar, piano, trumpet, mandolin, etc.

Curently i have a fender blues deville 4x10 from 1994. I record using a sm57, into a firestudio project to my software. My amp sounds pretty good when i play with it live in overdive..but when i record it..it just sounds weak and fuzzy. I have about 1500 to spend, Would i be better off with a great preamp like a groove tubes SuPRe, or would i be better off getting a mesa boogie amp.

This was linked on the Make:blog, a howto of changing guitar pickups.

I myself ain't interested cause well, I don't own a guitar. Hopefully this will be of interest to someone.

I ordered a Conrad amp, it comes without a reverb unit. Actually Conrad offered to put one in it but I was concerned, because it is such a small cabinet, about the length of the springs. So I decided that I would buy a reverb pedal. I have done some research and come up with a few Boss RV-5, Holy Grail, Line 6 Verbzilla, Digitech Digiverb.
