Why doesn't my guitar stay in tune?

Frequently Asked Questions
To best explain the most common causes of this problem, lets follow the path of the strings. We begin at the tuners. If the they are poorly made, loose, or installed incorrectly, the strings will slip. Next, the strings can bind at the nut if the slots are cut at the wrong angle or incorrect width. Now the strings pass over the entire neck and this is where intonation is very important. If it has not been properly set, you will notice some chords sound in tune and others do not.

Okay then, what is "Snake Guitar"?

Eno FAQ 2: about the music
I decided to ask him about some of the instruments listed on the album's liner, with such exotic appellations as "snake guitar, "digital guitar," and "desert guitars." In the case of the first, for instance, I had often thought that given Eno's reputation it would not be out of the question for him to lay a guitar down in the middle of the recording studio and tape the sound of a reptile belly crawling slowly across the strings. He laughed. See similar questions...

How do I order a guitar?

Can I process my guitar with Synthesizers.com modules?

Synthesizers.com --- FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, if you boost the signal level with a Q118 Instrument Interface. Signal levels of a guitar are very low and need to be boosted (amplified) in order to match those of a modular synth. Synthesizers.com modules are not designed to work stand-alone, they need an enclosure such as a cabinet or rack frame, and a power supply system. There is not a module that will extract pitch information from your guitar (Pitch to voltage converter). That is a very difficult task. See similar questions...
