Why do guitar companies never come out with new models?

How do I plug in a guitar effect pedal?

I have never bought/used a guitar effect pedal before, but I'm pretty sure they have to be plugged into a wall socket. Some pedals I've looked at have no power cord or anything. How does this work? Do some pedals include adapters or whatever?


Answer
All of my pedals use either a 9V battery or an AC adapter. Best Buy has a universal adapter that includes 9V for about $15.

You can also get adapters that let you use an external 9V battery. Their advantage is that you can swap out a battery pretty quick.

I managed to snag two 9V adapters at a garage sale for 25 cents each. :o)

my acoustic guitar capo broke; the back side of it, and so when I put it on my guitar, the back side goes sideways. my dad cold welded the broken piece; so will that help?


Answer
You're in a better position to know that than we are. Does it work now? If not, hopefully Santa will come through with a new one :)

Well i was about to get guitar rig 3 and i was wondering if it runs through midi because idk if i have to get the kontrol preamp thing!!! I have a gk3 and a midi to usb cord!


Answer
For a deal on guitar rig 3 kontrol... I'm selling one on ebay. Its barely been used. Your guitar plugs into the kontrol pedal which is plugged into your computer. Without the pedal I have no idea how it would connect to the computer??

So I have a 4/4 dreadnought Takamine and I was wondering if it will fit in the Thomann Classic-Guitar Gig Bag (I can buy it really cheap). What do you guys think?

I measured the bottom part of the guitar and it's about 41 cm but the gig bag has only 40 cm - do you think it will fit nice? Thanks in advance!



Answer
Classical guitars typically have much smaller bodies than dreadnoughts. It's not simply the width (which you've measured as 1cm too narrow) how about the length and depth? It looks like the gig bag is 105 x 40 x 12cm What are the other dimensions of your guitar? No matter how good the price, I think I'd shy away from the deal unless you could actually try it out first.

So im new to the guitar world.So what kind of guitar should i get the price range under $200 or 300. And what other stuff should i get with the guitar.


Answer
Yamaha's are really good for beginners and affordable! They have great sound, and look great. Believe me, I own one! Some other stuff that you should get with the guitar is probably a tuner. I have a tuner and a Yamaha, that's basically what you need. But you'd always want extra strings but you might also want to see this.

Yamaha's are sold basically everywhere, and you can find them on this website.
http://www.yamaha.com/guitars/home/
http://shopping.yahoo.com/s:Acoustic%20Guitars:4168-Brand=Yamaha
I try going to the second website, it's easier to navigate.
Hope this helps!
