Read the thread:

Donate it to a youth group.

We are all given free will,

per your statement that he would

be more blessed if he donated it

is true. But as far to your statement

why should you keep something that maybe

useful to others let me ask you this.

Do you own more than one pair of shoes?

If so why you only have one pair of feet.

Donate your shoes and be blessed.

If he choses to give or keep the guitar

will not stop him from being blessed. It may

stop him from the bacca blessing (God's full

blessing) but he will still be blessed. Are we

to be like the rich man showing that he gave to

be noticed or like the widow who gave all?

Of the pulpit now.

God can't have it unless he pays me the asking price,and then I want to see the money before I hand it over,remember all that pushing over of tables belonging to money lenders in the temple.

Seriousley I think God would play acoustic

All joking aside - donating a guitar to a group (any group) of people is like signing a death warrant on the instrument.  It will only be slammed about and be in sad tatters soon.

People who don't play have little or no appreciation for the fact that instruments don't heal . . . I cringe anytime I see a non-musician grab any instument - it's like watching a curious child mangle a butterfly.

Better for you to find a deserving individual who is wanting a guitar - somebody who would truly appreciate the opportunity to play and enjoy the instrument.  Ask around - somebody will know someone who will feel that your old guitar is like manna from heaven (to continue the biblical theme).

It's a great opportunity to spread some joy - don't waste it by giving the guitar to a 'group' - give it to an aspiring player.

I think you misunderstood ,I wanted to know of the two guitars which one would be better for a novice to learn with then I would sell the other one.Anyway I've kept the Tanglewood.

I ditched a gibson for a ibanez some may think im crazy, but I never played gibson much really compared to the mexican made telecaster I played for 7 years. The ibanez the reason I bought ibanez I owned one in the past, and like how easy it is to play compared to gibson.  Telecaster on mine got a female sound to it with a little bite to it im keeping her. The gibson had good sustain, and warm sound, but it lacked the grab and bite afffect I desired out my guitars.  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_cool.gif" border=0 alt="Cool"> I traded to lazy on maintence of a inbanez with no tremolo bar, just bought a honda of guitar really.  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">

dchewning, you can hot rod the strat to get a

better sound it would have cost less than the

price you paid for your used RGX. The MIM strat

body is more than likely an alder body while

your yamaha probley basswood(?). I have a

23 year old Guild C45F ac/el that I relpaced

the original pick up with a B Band set up that

I would use for worship. (last band I played in

for 5 years)

i think that sometimes (not every case) playing a harder instrument will develope muscles that ought not to be developed. 

I know that perfect technique is as elusive as absolute zero, but truthfully, one should play the exact same way on high action that they would play on low action too.  on the left hand you really just have to keep a straight wrist and let gravity do most of the work for you...try this:  Play a scale, any scale...but here is the exercise, try to buzz every note.  You will see how softly you have to press to actually get the note out.  Gravity is your left hands best friend!

Chances are that the body routing on your is

what is called a swimming pool route.(a big

square hole) If it is than you have a few

options #1 use the traditional 3 single coil

pick ups. #2 use (2)humbuckers wired with a 5

way switch which will give you the capabilities

to play both humbucker sound and split coil

(single coil) sound from a humbucker. A wiring

kit, new pearloid pick guard (my usual pick)

and pick ups should run about $125.00. If you

know how to solder and read schematics, other

wise you need somesome one to wire it for you.

Try GFS pick ups (www.guitarfetish.com) their

prices are reasonable and quality product. If

you want high end check out rio grande pickups.

(www,riograndepickups) When you ready (I

usually have to save or do a repair for spare

cash) let me know if I can help.
