Hi guys,

I have this old guitar that i have been fixing up. I have the back open and i am looking at all the soldered pots and such. However, when i am playing, one of the pickups is dead (out of the two humbuckers). How can i find out which one,without putting them in a different guitar and testing them?

Thanks!

Robbie

Hey guys!

I'm having some real problems with my strat lately. Firstly, the bottom e string (i think to all the pros its called the high e string, the thin one) is impossible to get in tune.

When i tune it, it is in tune pretty much for the first 5 frets starting from the nut and working upwards. How can i fix that? If i tune the string a bit lower, then its in tune for the high frets, but not any around the nut or so anymore!

Also, if i can get this corrected, i was playing at a music store, and a guitar tech there was explaining how to get a guitar in perfect tune. It mainly revolved around the G and B string relation so that chords like this sounded nice:

E------------------------

B----7--------5---------

G----7--------5---------

D----7--------5---------

A------------------------

E------------------------

So.......anyone able to explain in the basic idiot language how to fix my string problem and how to perfectly tune?

Thanks all!

Rob

I have a crappy Fender Bullet Reverb Amp that gives of a weird and loud hum when i have the DRIVE on. Is there anyway to get rid of this so that when i crank her up louder its gone?

thanks, rob
