Looks like I'll have to do that know. I've found out that the rust has damaged the pickup as well. I've also found out that the guitar body is made of fibreboard, so I might have trouble adding single coil pickups to it.

I have a PANDORAS BOX as well but I can't split the output to go to the mixing board and to my amp used as a monitor.
So....I have no choice but to plug directly into the amp and MIC the amp into the mixing board so that everyone can hear my crappy little 10W ibanez amp.
Also, I don't have enough time between Sunday School and church service to get my gear setup for all the different sounds that are available when using the effects pedal. 10-15 minutes just isn't enough time to get your sound right...

Go and get yourself a Zoom G2.1U and a cable splitter. Then you can play through the Mixing Board and the amp at the same time.

That's the parts I mean. Since I'm in the UK I can't get the parts from stew-mac. They are the same parts though.

I was thinking of getting one of the Squier strat pickguards with pickups and using the electrics from that. (you can get them for about £20 on ebay in the UK)
In which case I would use all of the electronics (minus the wiring) instead of the originals.
Another guitar-building question: How difficult would it be to change this guitar to a coil-tapped HSH layout?

True. The person below me listens to Green Day.
Right.
The guitar is an Encore electric with one humbucker. It's about 14 years old. For most of that time it has been stored somewhere around the house. All of the metal parts have at least a small layer of rust on them.
The hissing noise only comes when I'm not touching the strings. It's strong enough to get through the noise reduction on my G2.1U.
I'll have a look at the wires tomorrow, I think I've got a soldering iron somewhere.
I'm still getting the hissing, and there aren't any loose wires. I think I might need to replace the jack.

Thanks!
"Have a Nice Day" by Stereophonics
"Sing" by Travis
Both capo 2. There's a few capo 4 songs that are fairly easy as well.
I've found that I can't play open chords on one of my guitars because the strings are too thick.
I'm sure I mentioned this before, but:
Angel Interceptor
There's a Star
Both by "Ash". Not sure if you guys would class them as "christmassy" or not though.
False.
The person below owns a Strat Copy.
I was playing that a couple of days ago! I didn't even know it was a proper scale, I was just improvising a solo!
Thanks SouthPaw, I'll have to print that one off.

I've never heard of Egyptian. Could you give me some more information about it please?
There's a LP copy in Yellow Resin at Wesley:

I think I'll stick to wooden guitars though.
shredfiend wrote:I know what you mean... A couple years back, I got a digitechRP100 and I couldn't help but play with all the effects and different sounds every time I plugged in my electric guitar. I found that if I had the effects plugged in, it was always a bit of a distraction because rather than learning new scales and techniques, I'd just mess around with the effects. Lately, I've been trying not to use too many effects so that I can focus more on playing. At the moment, all I really use is a wah, distortion, and my amp. I'd just advise that you pack up most of your effects and play a simpler set-up. It might seem a little weird at first, but you'll get used to it quickly and your playing will improve quickly.
Same here with the G2.1U. A brilliant Multi-Effects unit but I've found if I try to get the sound right for whichever song I'm playing I end up not playing it!
I just use it for Amp modelling, Distortion and occasionally Wah.
Nice song, I played the old version last week, sounds brilliant. I'd give you a hand with the solo if you want but I can't even PLAY the things let alone write them!

ONE QUESTION, DO YOU HAVE TO DECLARE OR ASK PERMISSION TO BUSK THIS, BECAUSE A TAXMAN CAN BE A REAL PAIN IN A BODY PART? SMELLING MONEY
I don't think you can get permission to busk. It's sort of semi-illegal, in that it's not legal but no one does anything about it. You see you need permission to play the songs, but if you get it you won't earn enough for it to be worth it.
That sounds like it to me. Thanks mhick.
I've found a very nice new guitar on the wesley website:
http://www.wesleyguitars.co.uk/storefro … =197674186
Thing is it has P-90 pickups. So I thought someone here might be able to explain something: Are P-90s Single-Coil or Humbucker?

That's the one they use in "Guitar for Dummies".
How about the Hayseed Dixie cover of Green Days "Holiday"?
@last_rebel: If you check this website:
http://www.whatson.com/kerrang/
There's a live acoustic version of the song I posted the link to.
Scroll down on the right-hand section until you find "Live & Lowkey". The song is listed there.
last_rebel wrote:And yeah I looked up that song, i'm not really familiar with the band, they're some kind of rock music?? The lyrycs were good anyway....
Do you mean Lostprophets or Less Than Jake?
Lostprophets are Alternative Rock/Nu-Metal, and they're from Pontypridd in Wales. One of my favourite bands.
Less Than Jake are Ska/Punk-Rock, from Gainsville, Florida. Another of my favourite bands.
I'll try this song tomorrow, it'll make a nice change from all of the Green Day songs I've been playing.
Sounds good (well looks good, I don't have my guitar at the moment). The section you've posted is a bit like the song in the link I posted.
Are you going to tab a solo for this as well?
