what is the Best amp for my 72 thinline fender telecaster. at the moment i am using a peavey valve king 112
For how much money? For not much, the Vox AD Valvetronix range is good, for a bit more I'd fancy a Fender Blues Junior, if you've just won the lottery, a Mesa Boogie or Cornford Hurricane.
The '72 Tele® Deluxe sports an alder body, famous '70s headstock and two Fender® "Wide Range" humbucking pickups with a traditional three-way switch and four skirted amp knobs (a "must have" for all Tele® guitar players).

I have a Fender '72 telecaster deluxe (reissue) that I bought second hand about 6 months ago. It plays great, except the action is quite high and hurts my fingers to play. I'm an intermediate standard guitarist, but I like guitars with low action.
I was recently told that the action can be adjusted via the truss rod. Is it safe for me to tighten the truss rod to pull the action down, and if so by how much is usual? On this guitar the truss rod protrudes near the headstock and is easily accessible. So I want to know if it is safe to adjust this myself?
Guitarists out there...any help appreciated!
Don't start making adjustments until you know what needs fixing. The truss rod is only part of the equation. The truss rod adjusts "neck relief" or the bow of the neck. Ideally, the neck should be very close to straight, with a teeny forward bow. You can check this with a straightedge....eyeballing down the neck isn't accurate enough. Alternately, you can put a capo on the first fret and press any string on one of the highest frets. This turns your string into a straightedge. At the midpoint on the neck, there should be a small gap between your string and the top of a fret.....the gap should be about the thickness of your high E string.....009 or so. As you know, this is adjusted by turning the truss rod. Be gentle. Do it in 1/4 turn increments and let the neck adjust.
Once the neck relief is adjusted, you can raise or lower the string height at the bridge. You can also check the top nut to be sure it is as low as possible. Think of it as a zero fret. The strings should pass over it at the same height as any other fret. When you're all done, don't forget to adjust the intonation. Chances are that all the adjustments will have thrown it off. Check the open strings against the 12th fret harmonic on a tuner. Move the bridge forward or back until the notes are the same. A lot of info here: http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/action.htm
Guitarists: Is It Okay To Buy A Guitar Without Buying It But By Judging on The Specks?
Because, I really want a BC Rich retro and I went to Denmark Street and I could not find it, but I found other good guitars. http://www.giggear.co.uk/home/index.php?m=shop&prodid=5306
But my question is that is it okay to buy a guitar without buying it but judging it by it's specs?
I have been playing for 3 coming to 4 years now pretty soon. And all the guitars I have got were basically a beginners things like an Encore Classical Guitar and an Encore Electric Strat but my Fender Custom FMT HH Telecaster that i own well i tried a Highway 1 tele and I liked the feel so i bought the other Fender.
So title says it all.
Thanks.
If yr looking at spending a decent amount then you really need to have a play first, you wouldn't buy a car without a test drive and this is a way more important decision than that
unfortunately it has been discontinued by fender, but does anyone know where i can find one and approximately what price they would sell at or are worth
A wide range of instrument amplifiers is now available, some for general purposes and some designed for specific instruments and even for particular sounds. Traditional guitar amplifiers come up with a clean, warm sound, a sharp treble roll off at 5 kHz or less and bass roll off at 60 to100 Hz, often with built in reverb and tremolo units. Bass amplifiers have extended bass response and tone controls optimized for bass guitars (or more rarely, for upright bass).
Higher end bass amplifiers sometimes include compressor or limited features, which help to keep the amplifier from distorting at high volume levels. Keyboard amplifiers have a very low distortion and extended flat frequency response in both directions. Keyboard amplifiers often have a simple onboard mixer, so that keyboardists can control the tone and level of several keyboards. Acoustic amplifiers are designed specifically to produce a clean, transparent, acoustic sound when used with acoustic instruments with built in transducer pickups and microphones.
Some well known brands of guitar amplifiers
While there are almost innumerable manufacturers of guitar amplifiers, we will be discussing the most important brands that have created history in guitar amplification.
Carvin Corporation
The Carvin Corporation is a musical instrument and equipment manufacturer, located in San Diego, California, well known among guitar players for their guitars. Carvin was founded in 1946 by Lowell Kiesel, and originally manufactured guitar pickups. Carvin Corporation manufactures acoustic and electric guitars, bass guitars and accessories, amplifiers, live studio sound equipments, microphones and lighting gears.
Korg Corporation
Korg Corporation is a Japanese multinational corporation that manufactures electronic musical instruments and guitar tuners. The company is one of the most widely used and respected names in the electronic music world. Founded in 1962 in Japan by Tsutomu Kato and Tadashi Osanai, Korg was originally known as Keio Electronic Laboratories because its fledgling offices were located near the Keio train line in Tokyo and Keio can be formed by combining the first letters of Kato and Osanai. Yamaha Corporation has always been a major partner of Korg, supplying them with circuitry and mechanical parts.
Marshall Amplification
Marshall Amplification is a British company which designs and manufactures electric guitar amplifiers. Marshall Amplifiers are well known and highly popular among guitarists. Marshall Amplifiers were originally built as direct copies of Fender amplifiers, but soon incorporated certain traits which made them more favorable to guitarists seeking a heavier sound. Like most professional level amplifiers, Marshall amplifiers still use valve preamp and power amplifier stages instead of solid state devices. Marshall also manufactures cheaper solid-state or hybrid devices.
Vox
Vox is a musical equipment manufacturer, which is most famous for making the AC30 guitar amplifier and the Vox electric organ. Founded in Great Britain, Vox is now owned by the Japanese electronics firm Korg. In 1959, with sales under pressure from the more powerful Fender Twin and from The Shadows, who requested amplifiers with more power, Vox produced what was essentially a double powered AC15 and named it the AC30.
Roland Corporation
Roland Corporation is a Japanese manufacturer of electronic musical instruments, electronic equipment and software. It was founded by Ikutaro Kakehashi in Osaka on April 18, 1972 with 33 million yen in capital. Some of the recent amplifiers from Roland Corporation are Roland SH 201, Roland Juno G, Roland MV 8800 and Roland V Synth GT.

The Gibson Les Paul guitar is one of the most iconic instruments in popular music. A number of variations of the base model have been introduced over the years, including the Gibson Les Paul Custom guitar. This is one of the pricier and highest quality guitars that Gibson makes. The LesPaul was designed by guitarist LesPaul in collaboration with Gibson in 1952.
The base LesPaul guitar was a response to the Fender Telecaster, which had pioneered the single body electric guitar design that was sweeping the rock, country and blues music scenes. The LesPaul had some differences, such as the strings being attached differently than other guitars. The Les Paul also differentiated itself by coming in many boldly colored designs.
The Les Paul Custom guitar was designed from the start to be a more high quality and stately guitar. It was nicknamed the Black Beauty for its slick black design. LesPaul stated that the design was meant to be reminiscent of a tux. The guitar's surface was made from solid mahogany, instead of maple like the standard model. Starting in 1957, the Custom was outfitted with the humbucker style pickup, giving it its defining bulky and warm sound.
The Custom of today has a sharper tone due to its ebony fretboard. The frets are also somewhat lower than those on your standard guitar, which has led to some calling the Custom the fretless wonder.
Many notable popular musicians have used the Gibson Les Paul custom guitar as their instrument of choice at one point or another. Artists from Carlos Santana to Peter Frampton to Eric Clapton have used Customs.
A brand new Custom today is worth several thousand dollars. They are no longer limited to just being Black Beauties; Customs have since produced with different finished including Antique White and Silverburst.
will a blank fender replacment neck fit my squire affinity stratocaster?
i got a new two piece maple neck for my squire affinity strat. im wondering if it will fit? will it be too big? do i have to sand the back of the neck down to make it not as tall?
it should fit since squire is just a branch of fender. i don't know for sure, but it seems right for it to fit since they are basically the same.

Can you put a DiMarzio DP110 FS-1 Guitar Pickup on a Fender Telecaster?
As a direct replacement no. It would be necessary to route the pickup cavity slightly bigger to get a Strat pickup to fit. Also the hole for the pickup in the pickguard would also need to be enlarged.

Icon. Not a word to be used lightly. But the Stratocaster® is just that. The new American Standard left-handed Stratocaster® guitars are beauties to behold in sound, look and feel. We kept the hand-rolled fingerboard edges, Alnico V pickups and staggered tuning machines for playability, tone and stability, and added several new features, including: A new bridge with improved bent-steel saddles and a copper-infused high-mass block for increased resonance and sustain. A new neck treatment tinted for a richer presentation, with the maple or rosewood fingerboard buffed to a high gloss. The back of the neck still has that silky satin finish. A thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance.

Learning how to play piano requires that piano player to learn many skills and techniques. These skills and techniques takes months of practise. Once such skill to know is having great hand coordination.
What exactly is hand coordination in the context of playing the piano? It is how coordinated that hands are when playing with both hands at the same time. Most people find it easy to play the scales with one hand at a time. When it comes to playing with both hands, the left hand and right hand just don't seem to get along.
We can develop our hand coordination through a series of exercises. As we train more and more with these exercises our hand coordination should improve and we will be more confident in playing with both hands at the same time.
The very first exercise that you should learn to do is playing the scales and practising every day till you are extremely confident with them. Use only one hand in your practising and make sure you learn them all by heart. Practise till your fingers just play naturally without much thinking going on in your head.
After getting the scales all mastered with individual hands. Try sticking them together and playing with both hands simultaneously. It will take some time getting used to but you should be able to slowly play the scales with both hands. Play slowly until you develop more confidence. As confidence increases you can increase your tempo.
Making use of a metronome in your exercises is a very smart move. A metronome will help you keep your tempo right as you are playing the piano.
First things first, you need to learn scales and practice these every day, so find some that you enjoy playing. Make sure you are confident of the notes, and where they are on the piano, so you have all the layers in place, if you are 100% of what you are doing hands separately then when you put your hands together it will be a lot easier.
Another exercise to try is playing a very simple piece that requires two hands. Practise one bar at a time and play as slow as you need. Don't rush into the next bar of the piece until you have mastered all the bars before hand. Learning things in pieces helps you to learn faster.
Everyone learns at different speeds, so don't get too hard on yourself if you don't succeed at first. Take everything one step at a time and it should just click over time. It's a bit like rubbing your stomach and patting your head at the same time. It requires practise for many and you need to practise to get used to the feeling of using both hands at the same time.
The hardest thing that I find when playing with both hands is controlling the tempo of both hands. Both my hands try to play in sync which is a problem when some pieces require you to play out of sync. It takes time to practise and with everything practise makes perfect.
Stick to your game plan, and practise learning how to play the piano as much as you can. Learning how to play the piano is a lot of fun and the improving hand coordination is quite possible. Believe me, it is possible. We weren't born knowing how to walk, it took us lots of practise and hard work.
In conclusion, you can improve your hand coordination over time and learning how to play piano is a lot of fun. Take your time with everything and believe in yourself. Everyone can learn how to play the piano and you should believe that you can too.
Hello all. I've recently been learning alot of songs on guitar that have tapping in them. However when i tap from one string then move down or up a string i get the sound of the previous string which totally covers up what I'm just then playing. I am not sure if it's feedback, but possibly?
For example: I tapped 10th fret on the b string and have the 3rd fret fingered. when i move my left hand down to the g string i get the sound of the b string blaring which covers up the next notes.
I am playing on a Fender Stratocaster with an Invader bridge humbucker through an Ibanez tubescreamer pedal into my Line6 SpiderIII 150 watt amp
Tie a sock around the first fret/nut, this will dampen any strings which resonate whilst you're tapping. Check out Jennifer Batten who used a similar technique!
