Great Job! Way Cool Guitar Too. I have a mid-80′s Squire with the tele neck and mini-strat body and I put some red,silver,blue lace sensors in it, moved the vol know into the tone position, and slightly scalloped the neck for a little more control. It’s one of my favorite guitars.; sounds great, small neck, solid as a rock. Great japanese quality and tuners with the holes in the middle so no strings ends stick out to make your fingers bleed. I also use mid-80′s strats with the system I tremolo.

@Guitarwizard55 Its a personal preference dick weed, go share your opinion somewhere else were someone might actually care.

THX!!

buy an electric tuner

no, it’s a squier 51

Is that a Tele/Strat hybrid?

ur well good

Thanks a good quick lesson

Why not just tune for a Stones set, then retune before your next set? It’s not that big a deal.

Put me down in the nobody cares camp.

nobody cares.. perhaps you have this all and you can play the guitar at all :=)

well like you said.. nobody cares…

Always wanted 2 learn this

thnx man you are great,but i have to play this stuff in a real cover band in a pub , at the moment ive only got one electric guitar, so i cant do one song in “g” tuning and then retune to standard for the next and so on, so i have to learn all of these songs in standard tune and the pub crowds never know the difference.

no one cares

ive got a gibson standard sg with a maestro whammy tailpiece

a 1955 goldtop les paul

and a tayor t-5

i got a fender strat and a slash gibson sig les paul goldtop… =P

i think it’s all about taste. how the guitar sounds to you, and how you want it to sound. who cares how much it costs. money doesn’t make an awesome sound.

No doubt Gibson guitars are high quality guitars and offer a very special sound, but Fenders do as well. You have to be kidding me to think guys like John Mayer and Clapton and Richards would continue to use Fender guitars because they “settled.” c’mon man

MAKE A ZOOM!!!!

thx!

fender is actually one of the least quality guitars, the reason it is used by so many bands is because when they first started out they could not afford gibsons, so they settled for fenders and continued to use them, but when you listen to the album, they are usually using gibsons

retune to open g and you got the stones!

Fender is the best guitar on the market. You need to go high end though. Don’t listen to these guys who buy Garbage built epiphones or production line Gibsons. Telecaster or Stratocasters are the guitar used by more pros than any other guitar. And by the way mahogany is not the best tone wood.

You won’t get the sound if you don’t retune your guitar to an open G. No matter what. And as far as Epiphone goes, you’d be better off with a Greg Bennett, at least his guitars are SOLID mohageny, not alder of pressboard! Unless you are buying an Epi master (and why would you??) then it is all NAME you pay for, not quality!

or get a better guitar than that…go gibson or ephiphone.

Can’t get the sound on my amp:(
