I guess it would make since if some terrible driver was driving a professional NASCAR vehicle around town. But I think that's illegal so it doesn't work either...

Originally posted by tiger roach I see people every day with really nice cars that can't drive worth a damn. I'm not sure if this is a good argument.

Wouldn't it rock if Guitar Center or wherever, tested you before you could buy the high end gear? They had a panel of musicians (albeit dead end ones, considering they work at GC) that critiqued your playing, and based on your score, you get to buy a Crate and a Squire, or a Les Paul and a Triple Rectifier. If the Sonic Youth type guys liked your playing, they'd let you buy a Jazzmaster and a Vox.

Originally posted by Space coyote do it yourself, all you need is a decent tuner,....... there is a book called "the guitar handbook" tells you pretty much anything you need to know about general guitar maintenence and set-up. No guitarist should be without it. Is the tuner on this 'decent' enough?

I have a Jackson DXMG(?), you know--the cheaper dinky looking thing with the EMG-HZ pickups... Anyways, if I want this to be tuned to drop C, should I take the guitar to the shop and have him set it up? I'm guessing the intonation will be off.
