This may be a really dumb question but I am new to guitars. Do you have to replace your strings with others that are the same brand as the guitar? I found a...
... finding ... JM, Nope...you can buy whatever strings you want. It might take a while to find your fav brand and type, but at least strings wont break you,...
I've been playin fer a few years. Every time I've ever replaced my guitar strings I have used Blue Steel. But I lately think they are a little bit to tinny...
Be sure to get acoustic strings, not electric guitar strings ... phosphor bronze, 80/20, whatever. You'll figure out what you like. Dean Markley strings are ...
My kid uses Dean Markley Blue Steel 12's (medium-light) on his Larrivee and likes them alot. It has a red cedar top and mahogany back/sides, so bright is good....

Yes! There is no possible way that a small-bodied guitar can deliver the tonal spectrum of a large-bodied guitar. Now, I have played some jumbos that should...

Some good reading on the subject on the D'Addario web site, http://www.daddario.com/guitartips/home.html Of course, also check Gman's site, I'm sure he's got...
My guitar is about 2 1/2 years old. When it was new, the action was a little higher than I wanted, especially since I was a beginner, so I had a local luthier...
I wouldn't, not unless you really know what you're doing. If I were you, I would go back to that reasonably competent luthier you mentioned, and see if he...

Jay has a good point about the possibility of messing up your guitar but, wise or otherwise, I do it all the time. I became much more comfortable about truss...
By "popped rod" do you mean breaking the truss rod? Also, I guess there is a question of which way to turn it. Do most have right-hand threads? If I want...
I have had a buzzing problem on my guitar a few weeks after I bought it. It usually only happens when I am playing the C and G chords. Sometimes it won't...

I haven't seen one as yet but being left handed presents a problem for me. I own a 514ce, does the neck on the nylon feel the same or is it wider? Thanks in...

<P>Acoustic guitars require more pressure to produce sound than electric. That is why your fingers are as sore as they are. One suggestion is to not play for a...
Hey what's a reasonable price for a refret job on an acoustic steel string (Yamaha) with bound finger board? So far I have only found one shop in Alaska that...
Hi, I'm a fairly new, novice player & new group member. Having never played guitar, I was given a Yamaha 12string when I was 18 -- tried & tried & never could...
It also probably depends on where you live as well and who does it. It is also harder to refret a bound fret board so it will cost more than usual. Depending...
