its amazing what you can do when you put the effort in.
The other day I bought a cheapo acoustic guitar, I didnt really need it, but it was on some crazy sale for Ã,£40 and it looks sexy (http://jc86.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/guitario.jpg), so I thought, why not.
Its acoustics are nice but the action was high so it became out of tune further up the fretboard and it came pre-strung, with the crappest strings ever.
So today I got some new strings and whilst changing them sanded down the bridge a little to lower the action, sounds sexy now and its keeping its tuning all the way down the board. for Ã,£45 im well chuffed.
That is nice :thumbup:
Just dont sand too much off :)
Why youre a regular Gene Autry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Autry) with them mad geetar skillz. :lol:
Thats a really nice looking acoustic.
nice. you will also notice you will fall in love with the tone an then suddenly hate it as they gradually get full of skin and sweat.
my baby :D

haha I know what you mean, I dont like new strings the first few days tbh, they sound too tinny, a little bit of resting + sweat gets a really sexy sound, then after a fortnight its crap again but ill be too lazy to change them haha.
Nice guitar there red, my semi-acoustic is a cut out and I keep slamming my fingers into the side on this one haha. Bruised knuckles FTW.
haha permanent scarring is the way to go :)
after a while youll start to "pop" and slap the strings like a bass causing many interesting sounds. pinch harmonics sound like an organ :)
Dean Markley strings... mmmhmm!!! babeh! :)
I love the sound of those more than any other, the tone.. just so nice.
Does anyone know how to sort out a buzzing machine head?

If they are open heads you need to replace the post holes, that usually fixes it. Since the string is taut and as a consequence the post is pulled tight most buzzing in my experience is caused by a loose post hole. If they are closed sealed units youll have to replace the whole thing Im afraid.
You can get post holes here:

lol I didnt think about new bits, Ill get a new set of heads too :)

if looking for new heads id advise spend a fair few bob, theyre quite cheap Ã,£15ish, but if you spend more on a nice set you can tune them much more accurately and theyll hold their place better.
