And now that I reread your sentence, I'm not sure if you were directing the "lots of cocaine" to srv or to something else.[/QUOTE]
I was.
My dad was more impressed by me doing a slide from 1-12 on the first fret with high gain than playing the intro to Heaven Beside You

The Alice in Chains song?
Aww man, I used to love them, their chords are great to play, major chords with open b and e for everything.

ESP Horizon's and LTD Deluxe Horizon's are the best. You won't regret it.

I don't think anyone really cares, so you should just tell us

Also a question, tied my strings up using this method
[img]http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j284/JudokaUSA/0-GBC/stringthis.jpg[/img]
Does this mean if I go down to drop C, or something that it'll lose tension or slip out?
I doubt it severely, just asking a question
[editline]3rd March 2011[/editline]
Just realized that contradicts the whole thing
High action is for playing with a slide, I think.
Typically:
High action = Full thick tone, harder to play
Low action = Prone to slight fret buzz so less sustain, but much easier to shred on
Oh wow I can tell the difference by only having one new string on
my guitar is going to sing when I get home, I think I've been abusing it by not changing the strings
According to a few people my Strat has a high action. I don't really think it does although my acoustic has lower action.

I played on one set up strings until they literally started falling apart. It was pretty interesting because the winding started breaking apart in a lot of different places and it could slide up and down a little bit.

A low action is typically 1.5mm high or so on the high E at the 12th fret. I'd put medium at a bit over 2 and high at 3 or above
Okay, I put down my guitar in it's stand, it was in E, picked it up 30 minutes later and the E was in D :v:
Also, I prefer my action at 1.75-2mm. My EX is probably at 3mm right now though.

I care. I care too much.
Also, thanks guys, now I'm going to add measuring the distance between my string at the fretboard on my git to tomorrows to-do list, which already includes re-setting up my monitors and testing cable noise levels.
Need some horn rimmed glasses since apparently this hobby is less FUCKING AWESOME and more HUGE NERRRRRRRD.

Went into cash converters (Australian pawn shop), they had the nicest Ibanez I've seen.

When I first got my dads strat, it still had gauge 10 strings from the 80s on it. I remember you couldn't bend a half step on the b string the were so old and flimsy. It was only 12 months ago that I changed the strings. Now, most people who play my guitar can't bend the strings, let alone play a g chord :v:
My strings go rusty after 2 months, makes it annoying to play.

Don't tell me you're still on the 12 month old set of strings
And if so especially don't tell me that you have an American Fender Strat

No and no.
I'm sporting a vintage tokai ripoff of a strat, and a week old set of strings that are dead now.
my dream is for. '59 strat, and keep my tokai as my main guitar.
I just want a new guitar for shredding really
No dream guitar, just want some nice gear
If I would ever buy a non-bass guitar it would be a 9 string, so many stuff I could do with it.
[url=http://www.rondomusic.com/intrepiddual930mntred.html]Awwww yeaaaaaah[/url]
16 string bass guitar <3
All I want is a Rickenbacker 4080/12. I would sell my firstborn into slavery for one of those awesome fuckers.
All I want is a nice Orange amp and a Fender Jaguar with open coil humbuckers.
:saddowns:
All I want is a Vox AC30 of some sort, a Fender American Deluxe Telecaster and a Line 6 HD500.

Wait, that one has a low F# string, so does that mean it also has a high A string?
[QUOTE=mynames2long;28400797]Wait, that one has a low F# string, so does that mean it also has a high A string?[/QUOTE]
Nope, 30 inch is too long for a high A string.
[QUOTE=SolidSnake52;28383964]Unless you never, ever plan on playing lead guitar and/or solos, yes it is what you need.[/QUOTE]
I meant I know how to fix it.
[QUOTE=Franke_R!?;28400857]Nope, 30 inch is too long for a high A string.[/QUOTE]
Octave4plus can make you a .006 for a high G on a 30". It's doable but probably not recommended, or at least I just wouldn't bother :v:
The tuning on those Agile 8's is fucking retarded though
[editline]3rd March 2011[/editline]
I've got a 1-1.5mm action on my 6 strings, gonna shoot for about the same on my fretless.
Thinking about getting a Les Paul too...
Okay so I'm recording shit with my 7-string
The thing is I want to have a bass track, but my bass only has 4 strings.
So, can I tune it down a fourth with ease?
If not, would an octaver for my guitar do the trick?
