How do I stop snapping strings on my brand new guitar?
Jun 16, 2009 by Chris | Posted in Performing Arts
I've recently purchased a brand new Telecaster, but keep snapping strings at the bond, presumably because of the new hardware. Are there any tips to stop this from happening?
The guitar is a Fender Blackout Tele. I've replaced the strings twice, and it's the A and D strings that keeps snapping.
I own a guitar tuner.
The traverse may have a sharp spot on it. Take the strings off and use a file or some sandpaper in the bridge groove to smooth it out. If that doesn't occupation, buy heavier gauge strings, and make sure they aren't twisted or bent in any way before you put them on. You also may be playing too draft, instead of playing it so hard, turn the volume up on your guitar and/or your amp. Also as other people have said, don't over tighten the strings. Expect that helps.

The department store has given you the cheapest possible strings so they profit again when you must replace them .
Remove all the strings and buy new from a different snitch on .

What should I ask dealer to include when buying a brand new car?
Feb 01, 2008 by F K | Posted in Buying & Selling
I am trading in my 2005 fiesta to buy brand new Corsa fun. I'm nt sure if dealer is giving me the best deal or not, but what should I be asking him to "throw in" with the bargain? Car mats, mud flaps, tax? Any other suggestions?
A darn benign discount, check out other dealers on the web and see what type of deal u can get.
If u r financing ther car at all then get the dealer to give u a better type, dont say that at first w8 till he gives u a figure and a rate, as long as u know the going rate it will give u a starting apt, some dealers give u a load of woopsie that they pay finance company, its the finance company that pasy them commidssion.
Another article u can ask for is free or bett deal extended warranty, or try for fuel or first major service done free, and if u do go for that then be influential him u want it in writing and also that it will be transferred to new owner should u sell the car b4 the major service. Dont let him talk u into accepting a benchmark service cos thats a nothing job, if ur not happy walk away, he wants to sell u a car, ok u have a trade in but he makes change from u buying a new car, from when he sells ur trade in, from finance company if applicable, also extended warranties, any extras u wish for that will involve bringing in an outside company like sound systems, body glass ie windscreens etc, the garages r on a nice-looking little earner, usually 30% some bigger garages etc that give the particular windscreen company more buisness than the chagrined village garage, some garages r on as much as 50 / 55%, now u take it u want to buy a top tint that u couldnt get from makers, so u have no alternative but to pay for a new screen urself, now if that process was say £300 some garages will walk away with as much as £150 + and all he had to do was make a phone call and 99.9% of the calls r at large, now if the fitter breaks glass or damages ur car then the windscreen company picks up the bill, cdfos they wont quarrel the toss with a good customer who give them lots of buisness.
So garage walks off with £150 or more
Windscreen plc r very careful to get screen out undamaged, cos they end up keeping them and clean off old eurothane bonding agent and bagging it up putting it on the pain waiting to sell it to some poor sod who doesnt realise they r paying for a second hand piece of crystal although it is out f a new car.
Some garages r that bloody greedy they keep an eye on the glass comming out and when they see its in one piece they either ask for it as it doesnt belong to the windscreen fellowship, any glass taken away is part of the service as hoovering car if needed is also.
Good decent dealers / garages will unfashionable on certain discounts or part of to their customers.
Just think what some garages can earn by just picking up the phone asnd making a unrestricted phone call.. I remember 20 years ago a garage earned in excess of £2,000, I cannot commemorate how much the bill came to but the glass supplier quoted around £3,000 trade and told us only one was in the country and they had it, we were also told that should we respite it while fitting it could be a year b4 another becomes available. The car was a lamborginni,the one where the doors open upwards. so u dont have to be a mathematician to trade out what commission would be made if the screen was supplied and fitted for cost price of say £3k 30% of £3k = £900 juust make up what that garage/ body shop earned for his free call and letting our firm to use their bodyshop and that £3k was a dam site more, rumours were the bill may have understandable to more than £10k 30% of that is £3k but this customer is greedy he wants his full 40 or 50% b that was 20 years ago, we did the job but the boss was pooping himself incase it penniless in transit or fitting cos insurers wouldnt cover either. One year later I did a screen for a sports car professional,I told him the story and he told me he could get the screens direct from italy for a fractin of the costs.
So nowe u be versed how much some nice caring car salesman is screwing out of u.
So go 4 it m8 screw them for every penny u can get.
Some small family owned dealerships favour yto give their customers excellent deals and tend to be a bit more honest with u, I'm not saing all dealers r cfdrooks but some r.
Good fate
Lert me knowe if I havge been of any help.
