I only have one guitar pickup How do you install a second guitar pickup?
You may have to route a new hole in your guitar to fit the pickup you want inserted, or have it done for you professionally (Advisable!!). Put the pickup in place and wire it to the volume pot, which should connect to the tone pot and then to the output jack of the guitar. Alternatively, if there is space, usually if you have a higher action on your guitar, you could simply screw the pickup to the body/pick guard and the wire it up (or the other way round).
Can you clean guitar strings and if so, how should it be done?
Yes, you can clean guitar strings. To do so, you can use a soft cloth or a string cleaner specifically designed for guitars. Simply wipe down the strings after playing to remove any dirt, oil, or grime that may have accumulated. This can help prolong the life of your strings and maintain the quality of your sound.
Can you use acoustic guitar strings for acoustic electric?
using acoustic strings on an electric does not damage the guitar. tightening them too tight does. acoustic strings tend to be thicker than electric strings, so all you have to do is just tune lower to avoid putting too much stress on the neck. i just want to know why they use different materials to make them. ============ Answer No the strings are completely different. It would be much harder to play an electric even if for some reason you did put them on. And you definitely don't want to mix the two! ================ I'd be inclined to think that stringing thicker, shorter acoustic strings on an electric guitar would actually damage the electric guitar. It wasn't built to withstand that kind of string tension. The reverse can be done -- using electric strings on an acoustic guitar -- but you won't get a great deal of tone or attack. Great for a very easy-playing acoustic guitar for songwriting and low-volume playing, though.
Do you tune an electric guitar with an amp?
No, you do not tune an electric guitar with an amp. Tuning an electric guitar is done by adjusting the tension of the strings to the correct pitch using a tuner or tuning fork. The amp is used to amplify the sound of the guitar, not to tune it.
Lead guitar has high sound?
True and False. Most of the time the lead guitar is louder, however most guitar solos are done high up on your last four strings and usually high up on the neck.
How do you raise the bridge on a Floyd Rose guitar?
there's two mounting studs you can adjust with the same allen key you lock the strings in and lock the nut. One on each side and it can be done on a perfectly tuned guitar.
My guitar is making vibrations with the neck and sounds horrible because the strings are too loose on drop tunings?
If the strings are hitting the frets and making noise that means that either your action is too low on the instrument or the tension of the strings might be too low. The easiest thing to do would be to try another set of strings with the higher tension. If that does not help, you have to take your guitar to a repair shop and they can adjust the action (easier done for electric than for classical guitars).
Restringing an acoustic steel string guitar with nylon strings?
You can do it, I've done it. Your neck will need to be adjusted. The sound level will be greatly reduced. Still it will be much easier on your' fingers. Remember to buy the strings with the little balls on the end.
How do you install an emg pickup on a guitar but the guitar has one pickup only?
through a guitar with passive pickups , take out the old pots (things under the knobs in the guitar) , take out the old input jack and replace them all with the new active pickup ones. After words put in all the new stuff, connect the pickups and you're done. I recommend the X series ones as they are a lot easier to do, plus once their in properly you can switch them any time you want. If its hard just pay the 50-100$ for a guitar tech to do it. Craigslist has some cheap ones.
How to record an acoustic-electric guitar best?
If it has any kind of electric pickup or built in microphone setup, then the best and most clearest recording can be done using a guitar cord to USB interface and record it directly to software.
Who plays a twelve string guitar?
Between none and 12 depending on how many are missing! And that's not as daft as it sounds. An unusual but not unheard-of technique is to remove the octave (usually e, a and d, sometimes also g) strings from a 12-string, leaving only the unison strings and resulting in a 9-string or 8-string guitar. This retains the chorused sound of the higher strings but removes the octave doubling of the lower strings. Another technique is known as "Nashville tuning". This can also be done on a six-string but there is no reason why it shouldn't be applied to a 12-string. It consists of using ONLY the octave and unison strings from a 12-string set, giving a 6-string with a re-entrant tuning which can be used to double a conventional rhythm part, or to produce a less bass-heavy chordal part.
