A couple of nights ago the neck on my Alvarez snapped (didn't figure out what it was until the following day when i looked at the stand). This is what I did.... I took the strings of lazer leveled and remarried them with a biscuit style joint. I clamped all 3 axis's (sp) but to me it sounds like crap. No one else can tell. I have had 3 very nice acoustics that are no longer with me so instead of being ax-less i got this at guitar center for cheep. Maybe $170. My question is do vibrations get lost or is it just the body where the sound comes. It seems to me i have to play it harder (not gently) The neck looked like a reddish hardwood. Is this common, can I do anything about it? except be pissed and save up for another tak or martin or taylor

I beliueve othere tuner has the ability to adjust MHZ and I most likely changed its default setting by accident. I didn't know that it was litrerally 440 beats per sec. Cool. I did have a chuckle at the "7" reply. That was kind of funny. It sure makes since to me I must confess, makes since to me. thanks

Topic: MHZ (5 replies, posted in Acoustic)
By default one of my tuners is set at 433mhz. A different tuner (cheaper) doesn't have the ability to adjust MHZ but i asume its most likely set at 440; since the cheaper one seems to read higher. My question is this... Is there a "standard" mhz setting, or is it based on your guitar...the string gauge etc? What is a good setting for a begginer to moderate rythym guitarist such as myself? I know I'll get some good feedback. Thanks ya'll...James Clayton
