| Question: How do I replace the strings on my acoustic guitar? Posted: 16 Aug 2016 02:48 AM PDT One string at a time. That's the best piece of advice I can give. I'd start with the low E and turn to tuner to de-tune the string until it can be just removed from the hole in the barrel of the tuner. Don't cut the string, there's no point at all in doing it and it only causes problems. Then remove the string from the bridge. If the guitar has nylon strings, untie the at the bridge. If tge guitar has steel strings the string will either just feed through the hole in the bridge until it can be carefully pulled out the back of the bridge (that's called a pinless bridge). If the end of the string is held inlace by a bridge pin the you need to remove it. It might just pull out. If it doesn't do NOT use anything like pliers to grip the pin. Lever it out. I use the notch on a string winder but lots of things can be used (I've hear of people using a spoon or a knife). The string will then pull out, wrap it up and throw it away and replace it with a new string. If you have bridge pins make sure the slot is next to the string. Thepin does not need to be wedged tight into the hole. It is the pull of the string that holds the pin tight. You might need to make sure it stays in place when you start to tighten the string. As the string tightens, GENTLY stretch it (especially important with the plain strings) otherwise you will ve re-tuning for days. Most importantly, do the things a lot of people seem unable to do these days - use some common sense! Good luck. |
| Question: Does the Epiphone Les Paul sound different than Gibson Les Paul? Posted: 16 Aug 2016 12:10 AM PDT Yes to a trained ear. I've been playing for forty years but I've played mainly Fenders. I'm going to be honest here and say I don't know that I'd notice the difference between a good Epiphone Les Paul and tye Gibson equivalent. I'm pretty sure though that soneone used to playing Gibsons would notice tye difference. Of course, "better" is a matter of opinion. Obviously to some extent you pay extra for the name "Gibson" but Epiphone is Gibson's BUDGET brand. It's not the same pickups and certainly not the same wood. A "proper" Les Paul has a mahogany body with a fairly thick maple cap. An Epiphone has (probably) a mahogany body with a thin maple veneer. As Tommy says, try both and if YOU can't notice and difference in sound (and feel?) then take the less expensive option. |
