    String Trees???

    Fender started using string trees on the 1st 4 strings in 1972. (They used only 1, on the 1st 2 strings, prior to this time.) What year is your strat? Take care, Tony

    Tuning issues...

    Hi Kramer, I'm really not trying to argue, I just didn't want there to be a misunderstanding. Here's my original quote- If the harmonic is higher, then the note is flat, and the string length needs to be shortened, which we both agree upon. To do this, you must move the saddle towards...

    my 64' sg

    Hi, Very cool guitar! (I'm a sucker for vintage guitars.) By any chance, did you actually mean '74 SG? (The block inlays, and bridge style, are from the 70's) In any case, it's a great guitar. Have fun with it! Take care, Tony

    Tuning issues...

    Hi, I just re-read my post, and I have to repectfully disagree with you.(I have also been setting up guitars for years, 27, to be exact) ;) I've also just visited the fender link, and here's what they had to say about it. "If the note is sharp compared to the harmonic, lengthen the...

    Tuning issues...

    Hi, You will need to use a tuner (strobe tuner if possible) when doing your intonation, as well as a screwdriver to adjust the bridge saddles. When setting intonation, you are trying to get your 12th fret "harmonic," to be the same as the 12th fret "fretted note." If the harmonic is...

    Drop D tuning

    Hi, Since you're happy with the way that the 1st 5 strings of the 10/46 set feels, why not just buy a few single 6th (Low 'E') strings (between .047 and .051) and experiment until you find a size that feels good to you. Good luck! Take care, Tony P.S. If you only want to buy 1 string...

    Tuning issues...

    Hi, Since you have a hardtail Strat (My favorite kind of strat, by the way), it sounds like you need to have your guitar's intonation checked. If you've never done this yourself, look for a guitar tech in your area. Take care, Tony

    string buzz

    Re: slots Hi Jacquelyn, The nut is the piece at the end of your fingerboard before the 1st fret. The slots are the 6, or 12 in your case, little grooves that guides the string towards the machine head. Larger strings require a deeper groove (slot) than a thinner string. If the...

    string buzz

    Hi, Besides having the frets dressed and/or a set-up, there is one other possible cause that I can think of at the moment. If there is a major change in the size of the strings (For Ex. A .056 low E being replaced with a .042) perhaps the slots in the nut are too "deep" for the new strings...

    Jackson Guitars??

    I have a 1986 Jackson Kelly (Neck through body / Kahler / EMGs / Lightning Graphics). It's a great playing guitar, that also records very well. I've just recently traded an effects unit, for a Jackson PS-2. It's a nice guitar as well. Take care, Tony

    Bass Amp with 1000 Dollar Budget.

    If you don't mind "older" amps, I'll tell you about the set up that I've had for 15 years. i've found amps that sound just as good, but never anything that sounded "better." Gallien-Krueger 200RCB Head through a Bag End single 15" cabinet. (It made me stop using my 70's Ampeg SVT with 2...
