....i found at a local music store a made in Japan Boss DS-1(used) and he was asking 130euros(about 160$)......He also had a boss DS-1 made in taiwan i think, and he was asking 35€(that's about 43$).......Are the made in japan so much better than the taiwan(???) ones???What's the difference?

Having a bit of trouble getting my guitar to stay in tune. I just bought a PRS 20th anniversary CU24 on August 5th. It comes strung with 9's so I installed a set of D'Addario 9's and lubricated the crap out of the nut, saddles and tremelo pivot points with Big Bends Nut Sauce. Not too sure how well the nut sauce got into the pivot points since you can't see them. And yes, I stretch my strings quite thoroughly. My problem is this: I can use the bar no problem and all the strings come back to pitch everytime. But if I do a few string bends and then play a chord, there is usually 1 or 2 strings just out of tune enough to sound like crap. The G string is almost always one of them. Then, if I drop the bar and bring it back, everything falls back in tune. Does anyone think the guitar just needs time to break-in or am I maybe looking at burrs at the pivot points? When I take the guitar to my luthier, I'm going to have it setup with 10's. Will this help with the tuning issue? This is driving me nuts since I love everything else about this guitar and happen to bend strings alot so you can well imagine how annoying this is. Thanks for reading and any responses. P.S., I've been playing since '77 so I am fairly experienced.

Its the same exact model as mine!!!!

Hi guys!

I have a really nice w/b/w 3 ply Strat guard off of a MIM Standard Strat. I'm looking to trade it for a b/w/b one that maybe has a bridge humbucker, but 3 singles is fine too...

I am about to pull the trigger on a 1970 SF Twin Reverb. It is pretty good shape. The guy says that it has a slight hum and a couple of pots that have static, but over all he said it sounds good. I plan on having to retube and may have to change the speakers. I don't plan on going to deep into the bowels of the amp since I am not qualified and I don't want to die. What are some good tips on cleaning up an old amp like this, specifically pots etc.? If you are interested there are a few snaps of the Twin in the link of my signature.

What I Like better about the Vox over the Cyber Twin...

i really need a wah pedal please offer, looking for something around the neighborhood of 40$( im on a budget). although if its a great wah, and u must go over that limit to be fair, offer anyways i must get a wah.

I am building a quot;Stratquot; style guitar from scratch. The pick-ups that I would like to use are the quot;SHR-1 Hot Railsquot;(middle), quot;SH-2N Jazzquot;(Neck) and the quot;SH13 Dimebuckerquot; for the bridge. Can anyone tell me if the configuration will fly?
