  1. Well, I shouldn't speak too loudly, since i've never done alot of work on a guitar, but here's what i've seen(on projectguitar.com tutorial i think)as far as cover plates.

    plastic trash cans cut up to shape. Rout a small ledge(thickness of cover) to put screws into. Usually cans have a shiny sideAND a dull side, and lots of colors to chose. By the way, whatever happened to your destruction pix? :D

  2. Thanks all. I tried loosening the screws, without going far. By the time I had gotten rid of the noise, my strings were, obviously, tuned down too far. I retuned

    and the noise returned with the string tension.(This had crossed my mind, but I figured I could try without damaging anything) So I loosened the strings, tightened up the screws, retuned.

    So I spun off the cotton ball idea and used some foam stuff. I cut a nice little square of black foam that ABSORBS SOUND. thank you very much. Caio!

  3. Although my experience with various guitars has been somewhat limited,(Hey, I'm

    just 17), I have plaved some Fenders, some of the nice Gibsons, and a few others.

    So I will take this moment to brag about my axe.

    I REALLY like my Ibanez SA160. It feels awesome, and is very comfortable at any position. It only has 1 humbucker, but I like the bridge pickup most of the time

    anyway. I didn't expect the tone out of such a thin, lightweight guitar (Then again,

    all I had before was a off-brand affinity strat copy). I was never looking at Ibanez,

    (I was saving for something Gibson) the prospect of a $400 guitar at a pawn shop

    like new for $175 just couldn't be beat.

    All that to say: Sweet tone, Sweet feel, very comfortable.

  4. Thank you very much. :D  That's just what I needed to know.  I think I'll probably go for a more expensive power source as it seems like it's going to be more beneficial in the long run...

    Just use a normal power supply and by a 1spot daisy chain, now you got up to

    5 pedals on 1 outlet, and its easy as pie.

  5. I noticed that after a quick strum, then muted, I hear an echoing ringing sound.

    I first thought that my amp speaker was loose, but I heard the same thing on my

    friend's amp. Deeper investigation narrowd it down to no peice of equipment, but

    my guitar. I also just put on a heavier guage of strings. This may be added some

    tension of my tremolo bridge. If I run my fingernail across the trem springs I hear

    the same sound.

    ANY IDEAS??
