Topic: New Gadget Day
Do you remember the Fender Strat I acquired at the end of October?
Well, while my back was turned it went and got itself a new gismo:

I hate when that happens! These instruments think they can do what they want with no input from us.

Re: New Gadget Day
It is a great addition. OK it is not that cheap, but tuning and keeping in tune is an absolute doddle.
It is also fun to de-tune it just to watch the tuners turn themselves

Re: New Gadget Day
Now if only someone would come up with a gismo that would remove and install new strings.

Yes it is I get a kick out of it, dose this tuner also feature stored tunings like DAGDAD or Drop D like the Gforce on my LP?

Re: New Gadget Day
Impressive. Nice Strat, too. Can it be programmed for alternate tuning options?

They have Nela, it's called a good friend who wants to have a go at playing that beautiful strat.

Re: New Gadget Day
Yes it can be set for alternative tunings, but I have not yet learnt enough about standard tunings to want to get into that.
The only downfall with it is that there is not a proper instruction manual with it but one can be downloaded from their website.

Same with the Gforce I had to download a pdf file that explained everything I printed out the most important things I needed and put them in a folder for easy access. I am going to try and install the Stetsbar tremolo on the Les Paul it was designed for it I will see how it works out.

Don't say things like that in hearing distance of 'Uncle Sam' (her name ) she might get ideas about a different whammy bar......

No need to worry I mounted it back on the Douglass and put some heavy guage strings on I will use this for slide and maybe some lead work but the Les Paul will remain a untouched virgin I decided it don't need nothing its perfect they way it is

Nice. Now if they would only make one for a 12-string slot-head!
Re: New Gadget Day
Yep ... that there's a bona fide gadget. Hope you enjoy using it!
Re: New Gadget Day
All those years of "ear" training for nothing.... replaced with electronic tuners, and now automatic tuning machines.
Pretty soon our technology will make us obsolete (at least according to Stephen Hawking). So I suppose the next big thing will be just to let your computer know what you want to listen to and it'll play it for you??? What's that Cortana? No I would not like you to connect to Pandora at this time Thanks.....
Have Fun!!
