i believe i have to take out the nut that is already there for the strap and replace it with this screw?
im not sure though. please help.
Easy.
1) Unscrew the existing strap buttons and replace them with the straplocks. Be careful when tightening the screws to avoid stripping out the holes.
2) Put the locks onto the strap... take the nut and one washer off the U shaped piece, slip the threaded area through the end of the strap (where the guitar gets attached), then reassemble and snug the nut up. Make sure that the open end of the lock faces towards the center of the strap.
I would personally NEVER let the Guitar Center techs touch one of my guitars... ever.
Gibson Electric Guitar Facts I need recording electric guitar tips?
I'm new to recording. I use garage band as my software and an audiobox usb audio interface to plug into my mac. I have a gibson les paul studio and i use a line6 podxt live for my effects/distortion/amp models and what not. When i record my guitar, it usually doesnt sound the way I want it to. It doesnt sound full and complete. In fact it sounds pretty weak. Is it my tone thats the problem or is it my equipment
A good way around this is to use a mic instead of going direct to the USB interface. Connect a mic to the XLR mic input on the interface and use that to mic your amp:

Put the mic right in front of the amp - you'll probably get a more real sounding recording.

What is the best electric guitar to buy for under £200?
i am looking to buy an electric guitar for under £200
any suggestions?
I recommend a used Schecter. I have a C1 classic I bought two years ago for $300 US. They have single body construction and a string-thru bridge with nice components, especially good stock pickups, and a five-way switch. Excellent sustain, great look, and very durable. Not to mention a damn sexy inlay. Looks like it's worth thousands.
The only thing I have done with it is replace some of the inside wiring with thicker guage wires. If you read reviews on musiciansfriend.com, you'll see that the ONLY complaint is that the factory wiring is a little sloppy. I did the work myself for $5 of wire and some time.
I have an American tele and a Les Paul custom as well as a few acoustics, and the Schecter is still the one I go to first because I find it can play just about anything.
Read some reviews, then check out ebay or your local shop. Enjoy!
Today I bought the Cherry Red Fender Squier Strat electric guitar that I've been wanting FOREVER. Now, I like naming my guitars to make it more personal.
Should I name it:
Kurt (after Kurt Cobain)
Beck (after Jeff Beck)
or Emerson (just a name that I like)
Please help !
I wanted to add Jett into the mix ...
Between Emerson, Kurt and Jett ♥♥
Think of the song you love the most, the one that has the most meaning to you, not the one that is the most catchiest. The person who wrote that song, take his last name and name your guitar.
