Where can I buy a Fender Jaguar?

A Quatorze · 28th July 2004, 07:59 PM

Jaguars are cool. I wanted one for ages. I think there are some in Sound Control.

A Quatorze · 28th July 2004, 08:51 PM

My guitar, telecaster, has quite high action. It is a really fun guitar to play. I`ve played other guitars but my guitar just has a good feel. Others agree. But other guitars I`ve played are easier to play.

My Question: If I had my action adjusted, is it likely that the playability would go down?

no

depends what you mean by easier to play man, if you're mainly doing lead then a lot of people prefer lower action cause it makes it easier to play fast runs, whereas if you a clean rhythm player a higher action will make it easier to play chords.

I was wondering if it was the higher action that made it a fun guitar to play? I don't really play fast runs, but play the odd lead part.

Right my Guitar's been sassing me.

I've got a floyd rose trem. I used to use guage 9 strings, but recently fired some 10s on. I'm gonna progressively move up to a thicker gauge. But even with the lock nuts in it's not staying in tune. It's downtuning slightly all the strings, almost evenly and by the same amount every time.

This means i need to adjust the string tension, right? Increase it? And this is done by tightening the screws inside the guitar, that are connected to the springs that are connected to the bridge, right?

I'm just checking, I don't want to totally fuck it up

deadmike · 30th July 2004, 09:22 AM

could be cheap strings or crap machine heads?. mines do that when i play too aggresively, so i just go with it and keep them a fiull step down to reduce the tension thus preventing them snapping.

my question is. how hard would it be to replace a nut on a bass. and what are the steps to go about it?
