Floyd Rose tremolos are such a pain in the ass to reset, but are pretty good for a designated Drop D/Standard E guitar. Is there a way for them to not be shit?

Block them, or whatever. You can tune to anything as long as you balance it.
Anyone know the best way to buy something off eBay on finance? Looking at some oldish guitars 1960/70 but its like ibcsn whorde enough for a deposit but could do with finance for the rest. I've seen stores sell gear with 0% over say 9months which would be hella good for me.

Craigslist has some pretty cool stuff if you know where to look and have something to trade. Guns seems to be the hot item here.
[QUOTE=war_man333;45396656]If I wanted a Kaoss Pad in my guitar, what would you guys recommend? I asked some guy from Denmark, he says it would cost about $360 not counting the Kaoss Pad itself which is $190.
What do you think?[/QUOTE]
Kaoss Pads are literal toys. They do a whole lot of gimmicky shit, none of it well, enough to entertain casual electronic musicians and bore competent ones. Choose as best describes you.

Personally, I'd sooner duct tape a Beat Thang to my chest and tweak my robo-nipples to trigger effects than ever carve up a guitar to load it with one of those, but different strokes for different folks. Some of us know how actual synthesizers and effects modules work, and others have to make their guitars blink.
yeah I have a KP3 and it's only good as an effect device to fuck with people over voice chat
with that said it is pretty good at making dubstep with just about any sample on the fly
That Ibanez at NAMM with one hacked into it was pretty hot though.
[QUOTE=Rapist;45395368]Been playing guitar for 1 year. I got my second electric guitar about 8 months ago now, a Squier Vintage Modified strat, it's lovely but it doesn't stay in tune that well.
Should I consider getting an actual fender or something similar or just messing around with this thing until it works properly?
also thinking of buying a steel-string acoustic, I only have a classical.[/QUOTE]
you could also check out G&L's Tribute series, they're fantastic quality guitars on par with some American Fenders but comparable in price to a MIM Fender. i recently got myself an ASAT Special and it pretty much blows my Am Std Tele out of the water.
[editline]question[/editline]
has anyone had any experience with those Squier VM Jags? i'm really digging them but i've heard the bridges on those are pretty shitty
I have a Rocksmith cable, a desktop, and a guitar. What's the best software amp to use? I tried using Asio4all and some amp program that I forgot and it didn't work.
Figured I would put this here, I grabbed a quick picture of the tools I use most common when repairing or setting up guitars for a friend who is trying to get into repairing guitars.

It's not all that expensive for all this but man it has made my life much easier to just get proper tools to repair guitars. I remember back when I first started repairing my own guitars I had a multi-tool and a set of allen wrenches.

Guitar Rig
Amplitube is pretty nice aswell.
Also graphite helped, woo!
One screw on the neck was a tiny bit looser than the others too, however it still does a little pop sound sometimes during a big bend.

Sounds like a burr in the nut slot, cheaper guitars use cheap nut material which is prone to being messed up by wound string and even unwound strings. Most common is for wound strings to leave grooves in the nut slots that the string catches on. I usually just take an old string and run it back and forth through the different nut slots to smooth things out a bit.

Almost have Singing in My Sleep by Semisonic down except for this part.

Or how, for that matter.
hey all, kinda new to the music subforums and wanted to ask a kinda stupid question, but I wanted to be sure
I wanted to get a Lundgren M8 for my Ibanez RG8. The stock pickups in the RG8 have covers on them but I wanted to get the M8's without covers. If the original pickups have covers, would I have to get the covered M8s? Or can I get the regular non-covered ones
Thanks guis c: Great thread btw
You should be fine with the uncovered M8s :)

welcome
you'll prob have to route the guitar since the stock pickups and M8s are different sizes. correct me if i'm wrong here
I'll buy the uncovered ones and I'll just alter the guitar if theres any adjustments needed to be made c: THANKS GUYS I should really come here more often

Ok that bums me out, RIP.
welp the addiction has taken hold completely I just put this [url]http://www.deanguitars.com/query?upc=819998160739[/url] on layaway at my local music shop for 250$ put 100$ down on it. So much easier to play then my classical and a whole hell of a lot punchier too
today I picked up the bass for more than an hour, probably the first time in 6 months that I've done that and I was able to play stuff that I wasn't able to play back then
how does that work
JustinGuitar is doing a "Finger Gym" lesson book
[editline]17th July 2014[/editline]
