But yeah, my guitar is no Wal Mart guitar dude... lol
Yeah i know, I like me strings tight usually. But normal strings on a guitar shouldn\'t break on the tightness I set them on, and did ever play the thing an a amp? Ugh! :o :lol:
I got a Dimebolt guitar, it was the last thing my father helped me get before he passed away, and now that dime is gone this guitar will stay with me for life! It means alot to me,

pitch is relative. as long as the notes have the proper intervals between them, the guitar will sound in tune.
btw, if you tune it one half step sharp, it becomes.
F
C
A flat
E flat
B flat
F
but it still wouldn\'t matter as long as the guitar is in tune with itself. It only become a problem if you\'re trying to play along with a tape or other people.
I always use to tune to Metallica records when I was a kid. Whole lotta open low \'E\' strings to tune to. Hell, I learned to play by playing along with the first 4 tapes. (back when people actually bought tapes. )
and oh yeah, $500. is nothing for a good guitar. I personally wouldn\'t spend less then that, but I\'m a Les Paul guy.
