SRVs setup SRV used seriously large strings, they say up to 0.016 in his young days, then from then on when his fingers used to take beatings he used to lighten the gauge so it would be easier on his fingers then thicken the guage when his fingers got healthier. Towards the end he used 0.011s...

thanks for all your REPLIES! yea this neck is going to go one a custom strat body, i will be carving myself. i am going to start a little blues-rock group soon and i wanta have a really nice guitar to bang around with. Going to either have Texas Specials, Samarium Cobalt or Seymour Duncan(2...

hey guys... i'm back again... finished a workterm and stuff...and after screwing around with other peoples gear for a year i am finally gona upgrade my own stuff... only i need some of you older guys to give me a hand. of course I am looking at a warmoth neck and a 10-16" compound radius is...

man for the $70 you can buy yourself a decent cheap electric and play these tunes... then you may actually become a guitar hero... its hard to show off to real guitarists if your nerding it out on a PS2.

i only use 3 picks... one is a 1.5 mm mandolin pick... another is a 1.5 MM rounded jazz pick... and the other is a cross between a jazz and a mandolin pick... its a teardrop jazz pick.. 1.5 MM.. with a kind of pointed and sharp end on it... only one i've found like it... anybody else come across...

I actually burn the tips of my fingers with knives i heat with the stove element... its true guys... works like a charm... i always got nice smooth but stiff finger tips... I quess i'm just that hardcore... ugh... just went back and read Vood00s acid solution... maybe my way isn't so bad ***...

sorry correction I was looking at the recording i made when i adjusted my squier '51.. 3/16" refers to the wedge installed to change the neck pitch. sorry guys. brain fart.:p

hey a good remedy to trouble shoot is to line your routed pickup holes with a layer or two of copper foil... see if that helps. if not, it may be the 12db done circuit involved in those guitars... be a shame to disconnect it after all... thats why its a powerhouse strat... check the quality...

PC. Inter Celeron and Windows XP

A friend and I, have been looking for good recording software... maybe where we can record some demos? or better quality works.... I have guitar rig 2... but thats not what I assumed it was... pretty much useless to me without the switchboard.. so tell me what kinda software you guys...

I always found Jimmies playing to be well thought out and clean and precise. His music is more soothing and makes you wanta relax, while Stevies is the kinda music that could raise the dead and make them do the twist. I think, each deserves their own respect

hey sounds a whole ton better, i dunno anything about soundcards or realtek... but it definitely sounds less muddy. Good work man, envious of those people who play SRVs stuff with EMaj13 and other daunting chord grips.

Hey you folks... i quess everyone here knows Stevie Ray Vaughns albums really well.. but are you guys into Jimmie Vaughan at all? I found his blues with the Fabolus Thunderbirds and then his solo blues albums to be great. Especially his solo albums. Infact, I am strongly considering buying...

I always found mary had a little lamb, I say i got at least 7 versions maybe more that i heard and don't own... guarenteed... every song has a totally different instrumental that he improvised on stage. Its a song for the few who can graspe his style I think... SRV WAS THE MAN, no ifs and or...
