The Uke is probably not going to be right in a number of ways with one string missing. I don't think you'll "slapping some new steel on there" or the uke will likely fold up. Nylon strings are required, if already steel strung it's certainly going to have issues. A set of Aquila strings with a...

I've made my choice. Having played more than I can remember I've settled on the American deluxe solid body as opposed to the initial thinline fancy. I pick it up on Sat 1st August so will post my thoughts once I've lived with it a bit. It was a combination of sound and finish, mine will be...

I've heard a lot of covers of this solo, I think you have done very well to deliver a very similar feel to the original in your playing. I suspect you've lived a little.

You have me pondering, I have a Crafter 12 archtop I don't play very often, maybe I should man up and sell it and get a straight acoustic 12 to replace it. I've never sold a guitar so it would be breaking the habit of a lifetime. I have only ever parted with one instrument which I gave to a...

Nice selection of instruments. I've got one guitar strung with DR's they actually sound remarkably sweet, just annoying that the coating chips when playing with a bit of gusto. The Hendrix mural is a great backdrop.

Thanks ausrock, as notCardio, says that's a great looking instrument with a configuration that's certainly worth looking into. Thanks for posting, much appreciated. notCardio, I see nothing wrong with OT, I think of it as a quality which demonstrates passion. I agree that getting older can...

Have you got a noise gate running? Just a thought.

notCardio, thank you, yes I have a couple of hollow body guitars with humbuckers, I use a 335 and have cheaper one with flatwounds on. I also have a couple of humbucker loaded guitars with coil tap. I'm a bit of a guitar junkie, so having a varietyof instruments to lay my hands on is already...

Thanks Guys, as I said my knowledge of Tele's is pretty limited. After reading through the replies here so far I've got a fair bit of choice to consider. I've explored the links supplied here, and googled the remainder and now I'm beginning to appreciate the vast array of variants that are...

I'm looking to buy a Telecaster over the next month or two mainly for studio use. That said I still want an instrument which looks like it needs to be played as opposed to something utilitarian in appearance. I'm thinking thinline, perhaps I'm heading up the wrong path. I'm certainly thinking...

I don't how controllable other brands of amp with midi are with a laptop, but the H&K GM36 is certainly able to be used in that way. In fact the H&K will soon have the option of a Wi-Fi add on which plugs in to the midi port allowing full control using a PC, Apple, or Android device. Like some...

Just settling new strings prior to going out to play. Well chuffed with the guitar.

I got myself an Alpine white LP custom last year having played one owned by a relative 20+ years ago. For me it was a guitar I aspired to own and I'm not at all disappointed with the purchase. The wife knows very little about guitars or their cost (just as well) however she does comment when I...

I recently bought a Hughes and Kettner Grandmiester 36. It's a four channel amp that has power soak and red box out that could quite possibly completely take over from my rack units for studio use. Certainly worth playing through one to hear what this amp is capable of while checking out your...

Should be a nice project, you have some interesting ideas in respect of the stereo option. I can't answer most of your questions but I can add some thoughts regarding the potential need of a dividing baffle. If it's a closed cabinet a consideration if using 2+2 for stereo is this. If situations...

Cheers Broken_H, It's an Ibanez Talman. Not an expensive guitar but well worth the money. I think it's Ash on the top. I wanted a compact plug in acoustic but didn't want a piezo pickup as I have that option on other guitars, the mag works great. This fitted the bill perfectly as it plays really...

I've now had a chance to do a basic set up on the second Strat. Like the HSS it needed some major adjustment although this time it was because the action was way too low. Having got the HSS pretty close to ideal for my playing style I pretty much replicated all the measurements on the FSR...

As has been suggested in respect of the HSS I began this thread with, a single coil option at the bridge is a useful one. I tried a few and settled on this one. It's immaculate as a new instrument should be, though will likely need a few tweaks in the set up department once it's settled in to my...

You could try the local hardware store? From what I remember when re loading a couple of cabs the screws were not anything particularly special. Even if you take one out of another cabinet as a sample or google the size before visiting the store.

Hello Ray, it's a bit of a tale of woe so far this year. Work has been really busy and the wife has had me making furniture and decorating. Hence a lack of time to knuckle down in the studio. Things are getting less manic now so I have planned some recording over the coming weeks which will give...
