How do you move the saddles of an electric guitar and how do you know when to move them?
Saddles can be moved in four directions and it is for two purposes.
purpose 1
To adjust string height also known as string action. The lower the strings are the easier to play. This would be going up or down of course.
you may notice some buzzing in the neck around the 1st to 12th fret so loosen the trussrod by placing the right allen key inside the trussrod and moving a quarter turn towards your feet in playing position. Play the guitar again and see if the buzzing is gone. If it goes across the neck get a professional to look at the frets.. or ... simply just put the string height up slightly higher. Getting frets worked on costs around 100$ because of the work and precision required.
Purpose 2
Now before you move your saddles on your bridge whether it be a tune-o-matic , floyd rose to a strat bridge do this simple test. Put your guitar perfectly in tune where the needle goes perfectly to the center of the tuner than do this:
hit an open note - make sure it's still in the center of the tuners pin
a fretted note anywhere on the neck - make sure it lines up with the open note
and a harmonic (not pinch harmonic)
if all three line up don't move the saddles closer or further away
That was called intonation that you checked
now if your string is a little flat , left of the needle of the tuner going towards a lower note you want to move it closer to the bridge. Put the guitar perfectly in tune and try again to see some improvement.
if the note is a little sharp which is the opposite , right side of the needle in this case move the tuner going towards a higher note move it away from the bridge and a bit closer to the bridge pickup.
I joke with people and say imagine someone chasing you with a knife or something like that. Good luck.

Electric guitar or acoustic guitar for newbbies?
accoustic coz u only need the guitar and plectrum and nothing and practise, but if u gettan electric 1 1st ull need like an amp and lead but @ least learn an acoustic 1 1st then gettan electric 1 when u know how coz if u give up u wont waist as much money. ===================== You have to start on the instrument you love. While it's usually easier to start on acoustic and then move to electric (Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple, one of the greatest guitar players, has admitted to having a hard time when he started playing acoustic Medieval music), it doesn't matter to a beginner. Starting out, you have to play the music you love. If you want to play Korn or Metallica, getting an acoustic guitar may simply bore you to the extent that you'll give it up. And if you want to play Jewel or Jack Johnson, you should get an acoustic. Start out on the instrument that gives you the sound you love. You can always move to the other sounds when you've matured more as a player.
Can you start out with an electric guitar or an acoustic guitar?
electric for two main reasons: easier to play you can get thinner strings which are easier on your fingers , the necks tend to be thinner as well so if you don't have big hands this makes things easier to start. You can lower the strings closer to the neck very easily on an electric as well. they are also quieter if you live in an apartment or noise is an issue lets face it none of us are Van Halen or Yngwie Malmsteen good the first year or two learn guitar tabliture fast and scales really do help
What is the compound radius on the fretboard of a B.C. Rich Bronze Warlock electric guitar?
The B.C. Rich Bronze Warlock electric guitar typically features a compound radius fretboard that ranges from 12 inches at the nut to 16 inches at the body. This design allows for comfortable chord playing near the nut while facilitating easier string bending and soloing as you move up the neck. The compound radius enhances playability across different styles, making it versatile for various guitar techniques.
Do you have to know how to play the acoustic guitar before you play an electric guitar?
No, you don't. It's perfectly fine to start with the electric guitar. My first guitar was electric, and my guitar teacher says that it makes no difference either way. Just get what you like. There is one factor to consider though. You don't want the strings to be too far from the frets, or after a while it will end up slicing through your fingers and making them bleed. I suggest you go to a local music store where you are allowed to try the guitars before you buy one. As a beginner, you obviously don't know how to play, but you can still see how hard you have to press your fingers on the strings to get the strings to touch the frets (frets are the metal bars on the guitar neck). Pick a guitar that doesn't make you press your fingers too hard. But remember, it still makes no difference whether it's acoustic or electric; that is your preferance. If you need additional help in choosing a guitar, ask an employee at the music store. Most music stores have employees that are musicians themselves, so you'll probably be able to get some good advice from a guitarist who works there. All the music stores in my area have some very helpful guitarists working in the stores. Don't be afraid to ask them for advice.I've found that, no, you don't have to know acoustic to learn electric, but it sure helps to start out on an acoustic. The strings are fatter and usually the action is higher relative to an electric. Yes it's true, your fingers are going to hurt, and they probably will bleed, but things will only get easier with persistence. Starting on an acoustic guitar will help strengthen your fingers (ESPECIALLY for string bends) and build the callouses up on the tips of the fingers on your fretting hand a lot faster. You'll need those, or else every time you pick up the guitar it will feel like you're just starting out, and it'll take you longer to get used to it.Pain in your wrists and other joints can be a sign of poor technique and you can hurt yourself this way, but it's going to hurt a bit regardless if you're just starting out and you're talking about developing your fingers, and the muscles in your hands that you probably never used in that way before. Once you get proficient enough on the acoustic, you'll be flying on an electric when you make the switch. Trust me it works.well it all depends on whether you can actually play it and you may need lessons and who knows how long it will take you to pick it up some people have natural talent.
Brand new guitar and it has been tuned when playing chords they sound very low and out of tune even though chords are right what is wrong?
When you say "it has been tuned", you make it sound like it has been tuned only once. You realize that a guitars go out of tune all the time and have to be retuned, right? If the guitar still sounds out of tune even after proper tuning, then there are a couple things which could be wrong. It could just be a lousy guitar that doesn't have the frets in the right place. In particular, sometimes you run into a guitar where the nut isn't in the right place relative to the frets, so that the open strings aren't in tune relative to the fretted strings. The other potential problem might be your bridge: the intonation might be off. If this is an electric guitar, you probably have individually adjustable saddles to adjust the intonation on every string, so this is a relatively easy problem to fix. You check the intonation by playing a note on the string, and then playing the same note one octave higher, and making sure it sounds like a true octavie. For instance, play each string open (unfingered), and then at the 12th fret (should be marked with a double-dot). The 12th fret note should sound exactly one octave higher than the open string. If it doesn't, you've got an intonation problem and your bridge needs to be adjusted. If it's an electric with an adjustable bridge, then you'll see that the bridge is made of six separate saddles (one for each string), with a screw at the end that can move each saddle forward or backward. Turn the screw to move the saddle forward or backward until the octave is true. If you have an accoustic with an intonation problem, I'm not sure what can be done. Take it back to where you bought it.
Is a acoustic guitar the easiest to play?
No, but it's best to play acoustic then move onto electric, because if you learn electric first, then transition to acoustic your fingers will be used to electric guitar strings and won't be tough enough to play chords well on an acoustic.
What guitar is easyer to learn electric bass guitar or electric guitar?

The notes on an electric guitar are arranged in a repeating pattern on the fretboard. Each fret represents a different note, and as you move up the fretboard, the notes go up in pitch. The standard tuning for a guitar is EADGBE, with each string representing a different note. The notes on the fretboard are arranged in a sequence of whole steps and half steps, creating a musical scale that repeats across the fretboard.
