Now Im going to cover another topic when it comes to out of tune guitars: tuning machines. Not all tuning machines are created equal. A good set of tuners should respond to the subtlest of adjustments. If you find that you can tweak on a tuner for awhile without hearing a change in pitch, thats not good. Sperzel and Gotoh are two examples of manufacturers that offer high gear ratios. The gears in these tuners mesh really well together and hold tuning reliably without backlash.
In addition, you dont want more than three to four neatly wrapped winds around the post of a tuner. Messy winds in excess of three or four can introduce slop and stretching problems. Regardless of what kind of tuners you have, you can always tighten the screw on the tuner buttons to reduce backlash.
I will post the 3rd and final part of this topic soon, till then Keep Rockin!

Digital VS Analog
Im taking a poll, or asking for personal opinions as your way to help others who come here. Its digital vs analog. Which do you prefer and why? This pertains to recording music, as well as amplifiers.
Some will say there is nothing like the sound of analog and digital reproduction doesnt even come close, just as some say records still sound better than compact disks. Can you tell the difference as far as digital vs analog recording? some can Im sure, who know alittle more than others, and might record music for a living. Others probably cant tell the difference, and what it comes down to is personal preference. As far as Amplifiers go, I would say the difference is much more noticable.
While digital offers much easier methods of copying and pasting for recordings, mixing things up, easy clicks on a computer screen, or having all your guitar effects right in your amplifier, it can have its downfalls as well. I used to use a Line 6 Vetta playing in a band with a guy who used a Mesa Duel Rectifier and believe me, the difference was very noticable. Talk about getting blown away everytime we played. Yet my amp still held its own, and was very convenient, I find it more satisfying playing through a good ol solid state.
