Use of a whammy bar will not damage a guitar. A Floyd Rose however does have the possibility of snapping a string because you can pull the strings tighter, maybe a Bigsby as well. Unless you're pulling up on a standard trem that hasn't been set up properly, a whammy bar won't damage the guitar.

∙ 14y agoWell since I've been working at the Ibanez factory in Tokyo for twenty years on the assembly line, it is in fact that the "whammy" bar does actually destroy the acoustical integrity of any guitar. So whammy bars are for people who like to constantly buy new Guitars.

Do guitars come stringed?
most guitars, if not all, do come stringed. this is because there is a big difference between the tension in the neck and body when ther isn't strings and when there is. if you have a guitar with strings, and take all the strings off, it can mess up the truss rod in the neck.
Will using a guitar pick on an ukulele mess it up?
It will certainly increase the wear on the strings. And the hard plastic will scratch the finish up faster than using fingers. But there typically won't be a problem, but most prefer to play the ukulele without a pick.
Do dings in a guitar affect the sound?
it depends on what you mean by dings. little ones no, at least none that you can hear. it also depends on what kind of guitar, and even then acoustic it still wouldn't matter too much. holes and cracks can really mess up a guitar though watchout for those.
In which temperatures can you store an upright bass in?
I would recommend that you store it at room temperature. If it gets to cold and goes to a hot room it can mess up the wood and the strings will be majorly out of tune.
How would you spell a guitar feedback sound?
Basically you play a note or chord (chord works best) and hold it, let it ring, then you go right up to your guitar amp and hold the guitar right up to the speaker then you slowly turn the volume on the amp up until you hear feedback. And, while the guitar is feeding back, you can shake the guitar, or wiggle the volume knob a little to get a tremolo effect. Just mess around and experament.

How do you care for an electric guitar?
1. If you are not comforatble, your guitar is not either. Do not leave your guitar in excessive heat or cold, such as in your car over night in the middle of January 2. Change strings as needed. If the guitar begins to not hold a tune, its time for new strings. You also know you need strings if they feel rough and uncomfortable on your hands, are rusty or dirty, and oviously if they are broken. A good way to prolong the lives of your strings is to take a soft towel and whipe down the neck and fretboard after playing. Your hands have a lot of junk that mess up strings. 3. Most importantly, do not get all caught up in the rocking and smash the guitar... you aren't Pete Townshend =]
Which will give out better vibrations on a guitar steel or nylon strings?
Steel, most likely, though the steel ones might mess up your pick sooner than you would like!

Does a guitar bridge adjustment need to be even on both sides?
No and it probably shouldn't be. Adjustment of the guitar bridge should only be done by a professional. Your local guitar shop can do it for you. You can seriously mess up the tuning and tone of your guitar by adjusting the bridge incorrectly.

What is the chord difference from a guitar and a mandolin?
A guitar has strings (from high to low) E B G D A E A mandolin has pairs (from high to low) E A D G Notice that the mandolin strings notes from high to low resemble the four lowest strings of a guitar, in reverse order. My style of mandolin playing is an adjunct to guitar playing - - these are some tips which will get a guitar player started quickly, but bear little resemblance to the mandolin books I've looked at. To get started with chords, you can make quick initial progress by thinking of it as a guitar fretboard upside down. Some typical open (first position) guitar chord shapes work well like this - G is good. The lowest open string being G, this is the "fattest" sound, like Guitar's E. C is a similar finger position shape using two fingers; done with fingers 2 & 3 this is a shape you can start to move around the fretboard with a barre. G can move around by fretting the shape with fingers 3 & 4. Try making it a minor. With a C, try adding an E-string G, like you might on a guitar, to eliminate the cheesy third. Good shape, easy to do with a mini-barre. Easy to find minors, 7ths, maj9 etc using your guitar knowledge. D is a little different as most guitarists just avoid the bottom E when playing a D shape. For D, make sure you add an A on the G (lowest) string to complete the arpeggio. Now you have another shape you can move around with a barre, Minor is fairly easy to work out - drop a semitone on the first (highest) string. This mandolin D-shape is your best bet for a useful F chord - move it up three frets (navigate with the 5th on the E-string). (Note you can leave the A string open with better results than the same strategy would give on a guitar) Guitar A shapes are strong on the mandolin, since the deepest string produces an A at the second fret and the A strings can either be left open for a big modal sound, or 4th fret gives you C# to go major, 3rd gives you C for a minor. The 5th on the E string is always easy to reach. Try doing a barre G shape then releasing parts of the chord to open strings. The two lowest strings can be fretted with a single index finger, leaving the rest of the left hand free to mess around. The tuning of the mandolin is the same as the violin, one of the most maneouvrable melodic instruments around. But one of the reasons for this melodic potential brings a partial downside for chord playing. In general, scales and shapes which on the guitar are "two frets apart", or which you can do with two steps of the left hand e.g. blues scale, will "need three fingers" on the mandolin. An octave on the guitar is usually a three string journey. On a mandolin it's two strings. This means more complex chords which are easy on the guitar can involve a bit of stretching and holding which might be tough if your mandolin has a demanding action. A powerful electric guitar sound may only need a chord of a couple of strings to give a full tone (albeit the "chord" is really only a simple interval). A mandolin, being double strung, can voice a good chord on only a couple of strings too. However the strings don't resonate for as long as the guitar, so if a long sound is wanted, the right hand has to keep the sound going. Why on earth have I put so much into this answer?? I am going outside.
What is the significance of the long strings on the American Girl doll?
the strings in the back of their necks are for if you have to take their head off. like if something happened to it and you had to order a new head, you could just pull the string and the head would come off.

This is definitely a matter of opinion, for example if you like rock music you would pick Guitar Hero Metallica or Guitar Hero 3. If you like to play other instruments, pick World Tour or Guitar Hero 5. Whatever your personal preference is.
