I have recently gotten back into learning,NOTE I said "learning",and find the art of picking the right strings for each guitar (I now have a New Yorker Pro.,an Aria (my fave)pro II ,model TA 30,and a Fender Starcaster,and a Harmony Accoustic),like fishing hard baits,I sometimes am attracted to the packaging when it comes to strings,but lately the only strings I have been buying are Ernie Balls,and I am curious if a manufacturer would take time to try different strings out before making a rec. as to what string worked for that guitar,if car makers had taken the time to drive,use a car before giving it a name.........what would the Pinto have been named..............just my worn and used 2 cents............

Topic: My FIRST Amp (3 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I bought a used,1982 Crate CR 212,65 watt amp,condition is good,and toooo loud,cant use it about 3,my nighbors will complain for sure,I have a question about the sockets on it, I have tried to find online a user manual,no luck,so here goes,on the front there is a socket that says "ODB" the guitar hole,next to it there is a socket that says "-6DB",im thinking microphone here,on the back,there is a "Line In",and a "Line Out",now all these sockets look alike,but seeing this is my first amp,Id hate to blow it up or get electrocuted.

Hey people,my name is Joe (really),and Im from Virginia,I got the itch to play the guitar,so I did some research,and went to a local shop,and purchased a Yamaha Gigmaster Deluxe Kit deal,the only thing in the package I have a doubt about is that paperwieght that has "QwikTune QT-11"printed on it,does anyone have any suggestion for another more reliable,not hard to use,less then $50.00 guitar tuner?
Thanks,
Joe
