One of the most frequent questions I am asked is how much is my such-and-such guitar worth. It is also one of the most difficult questions to answer, especially sight unseen, as so much depends upon condition. By far the best way to determine worth of your instrument is to have an it professionally appraised, especially if you think it may be valuable. There are, however, a couple of methods one can use to get into the right ball park. First, you need to be sure of what you have. See similar questions...

Upon inspection I can tell what repairs will be needed, the exact cost and approximate amount of time that the job will take, but you have to decide if the guitar is worth it. If the guitar is of very high quality, has great sentimental value or is "the best guitar I've ever played," it probably is worth doing the work. If you're getting it ready for resale you have to weigh the repair cost against the new resale value. See similar questions...

This is a common question and a good one, especially considering that many people have wasted money on less effective cleansing or detoxification programs and feel skeptical as a result.

Only you can decide what a reverse mortgage is worth to you. It probably depends most on what you would use one for: increasing your monthly income, having a cash reserve (creditline account) for irregular or unexpected expenses, paying off debt that requires monthly repayments, repairing or improving your home, getting the services you need to remain independent, or generally improving the quality of your life.

We are not appraisers by any means. We must say however, that we've found many of the 'official' sources for prices (Kelly Blue Book specifically) to be wildly inaccurate in terms of available models, options and costs. The best judge of value is the open market. eBay and Harmony Central often have Steinbergers for sale in varying types of condition. If you're really interested in determining the worth of your instrument, take note of what others of similar type, age and quality are going for. See similar questions...

ABSOLUTELY! We must keep track of all the reported efforts, the failures, and especially the marketers - as well as the successes that are discovered. We have all seen ads that promote devices that were previously known to not work. We need to keep accurate data on all of the devices that are reported. Let's find the diamonds among the dirt. No! Absolutely Not! The process of inserting new technology into our society has become extremely complex and very interesting. See similar questions...

First we need to know how much value does a pip have in percentage. A pip's value in percentage is calculated by multiplying the cross rate's value per 100, and then dividing the leverage value by that number. So, a pip value on the EUR/USD cross that has a value of 1.2100 with a 10/1 leverage is calculated like this: 10/(1.21*100) which would give us a result of around 0.0826%, so a pip value with a 1,000 capital, would be 1,000*0.0826, that means US$82.64 at 10/1, or US$8.26 at 1/1 leverage.

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.

If i haven't called you, its not ready. My goal is to provide quality repairs with reasonable turnaround times. Many of my repairs are done just two or three days. Some repairs take longer than expected and calling me repeatedly does not make me work any faster. See similar questions...

I've collected all the tabs I could find and that people have sent to me. See my page at http://www.gis.net/~jdimaria/tcs/tabs.html Some of the same guitar tabs are available via anonymous ftp at ftp.uu.net /doc/music/guitar and other sites that used to have tabs are no longer available. If you have figured out any tabs, please e-mail them to me and try to post them to ftp.uu.net and also to the list. See similar questions...

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...

The first guitar I ever played was a 70's to early 80's model Fender acoustic, which I still have. It is a small guitar and was given to my sister for lessons and she later gave it to me when she realized that the guitar just wasn't for her. It is listed on my gear page- She was something.. I remember her coming to Phoenix when I was just a kid.. she reminded me of Charo - she was almost "not real"..I remember she wanted to take me back to Mexico City. See similar 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...

Slack Key or Ki Ho'alu has often been referred to as Hawaiian Soul Music. Slack Key is indigenous to Hawaii, and while it is the one of the most difficult styles to master, it is one of the most beautiful to listen to. Slack Key has a very interesting history. King Kamehameha III brought several Spanish Cowboys from California to Hawaii in the 1830's to help control the cattle on Hawaii. See similar questions...
