This post reminded me of something I've wanted to ask for a long time. Has
anyone had trouble with Mr. Sholz's contraptions.  I've owned two rockman 
portable units and both of them have fallen apart(I have to bang on it
to get it to work).  They work great for 4 tracking(and not bothering the
bitch next door at the same time) but I don't think I'll ever invest in
another Sholz product.  Has anyone else noticed shoddy construction?

Subject: Buying a GOOD guitar.. any suggestions?
Date: 10 Apr 92 20:07:17 GMT
Organization: University of Alaska Fairbanks

I am in the process of buying a new guitar, hopefully one I can stick with for
a while and wanted to get some comments from everyone who has had experience
with (average prices would really help me out if you have them!)

1) Paul Reed Smith (I played one and fell totally in love with it... but they 
                        are SOOO expensive)

2) Carvin (I used to own a lower end model, and for the money it was 
              hot, anyone own/owned a nice one?)

3) Hamer (Jeff Watson is great, but anyone can be bought)

4) Gibson LesPaul (I love that sound through a Marshall)

I have owned various Fender, Kramer, and Ibanez guitars, as well as a Carvin
and some no-name brands. I am trying to avoid making the mistake I made for so
long in trying to save money and gettingh something I become unhappy with in 6
months. Any comments on any guitars would be great though, even good models of
makes I have owned before... 

Oh yeah, I play blues and rock, some heavier metal and sometimes fool with
jazz/fusion. I really want a fast fingerboard with a low action, something to
compensate for my lack of finger speed (Malmsteen I ain't)

thanks in advance for any information you can give me...

The idea is that the first tune stage is where the low level signal from the
pickups is kicked up, so this is the most sensitive to noise.  The special
12AX7s are basically hand-picked for low-noise specs.

It's gonna help in applications where you have the gain cranked (i.e.
lotsa distortion) or in recording, where the noise is going to be most
noticeable.

David - 

Your tuning problems could be the result of several things going on.  First, I
would check that your guitar's intonation is still set correctly.  If you can,
lock up the nut and the trem, and check the harmonic at the 12th fret with the
actual note produced when you press the string at that fret - do this with a 
quartz tuner with a good display, and do it for each string.  

Adjustments are made to the bridge saddles:  moving the saddles toward the neck
shortens the string, thus raises the pitch of the fretted string if its flat;
moving the saddles the other way does the opposite.

Second - and another VERY likely candidate:  check that the strings are not
getting bound up at the nut or at the saddles.  The smaller guage strings will
have worn some groves into these parts, and its is possible that your larger
guage strings are not sliding across the metal or graphite when they need to
be.  

Third - and yes, another contender:  replace the stock springs in your
trem with aftermarket springs.  This should be done regularly to any guitar
with a trem, because after a while the springs lose their ability to recover
from those deep dive bombing trem drops.  Once a spring loses its stuff,
there is not a lot to do except replace them.  I suggest that you talk to
a respectable tech in your area.  I personally prefer very heavy springs, but
that prevents me from bending my trem "up";  the springs literally pull the 
trem all the way back.  Keeps me in excellent tune, but I can't do any of that
Steve Vai shit - my trem don't "float"...

Hope that helps...

******************************************************************************
Well Chris, I used to work in a music store in Tasmania, Australia, and they
had a Really good brand of guitar that he was importing. The guitar comes from
Switzerland and goes by the name of BLAZE.... Beautiful sound, lowest action 
that i've ever experienced, and The Lowest most people that I've talked to have
experienced. Comes with a variation of pickup combinations and they have made
improvements in the bridge, It's a two way rocking tremolo, hard to explain,
but here goes...... The tremolo rocks forward on one axis, and rocks back, on an
other, so if you were strong enough you could actually make it do both at once.
The Dude who invented this guitar(Paul Levinson) or something like that, used
to work for Fender. Anyway If you want to find out more, mail me @

Just a small quibble here.  Some players prefer a higher action.  It
lets you strum harder before the strings buzz, and according to a
book I am in the process of reading, the tone is better with a higher
action.  (I don't see how that can be, I am just re-iterating something
I read here).  While I prefer a very low action myself check out a
Stratocaster, for a classic guitar with a high action.  At the same time
check out the industrial grade pick guard.  Stats are intended to be 
played - - - HARD!!

............which, in my mind, adds up to more than just a difference of
"scalloped braces" between the HD-28 and the D-28. That was the origianl

absolutely everything about the differences in design of these two types

better", let alone from trying to understand them from an acoustician's
point of view.

A question for Martin afficionados: how much variation do you find
between different instruments of the same design? Are all HD-28s as good
as each other? Are they *always* better than D28s?

With classical guitars, there is normally a discernable difference
between instruments made of the same design at the highest level (eg
Julian Bream or John Williams are meant to test out many guitars made by
their favourite luthier before choosing one). Maybe there is more
consistency with steel-string guitars (or maybe not)? Could the fact
that a steel-string guitar is more "solidly" built (in my mind anyway,
or perhaps I'm wrong??) due to the more constructional considerations 
of higher tension strings etc?
