guitars

My Guitars:

Fender Strat (mexican...getting my friend to fix it so it stays in tune)

PRS Tremonti SE (platinum, played this to death until mark signed it, now it's on my wall)

Olympia Acoustic (first guitar, played that thing to death until....)

Taylor 414ce (got this for my birthday, best sounding acoustic i've ever heard)




i'm not in a band, but i write my own songs (i think i have 30 now, probably more, but it's not the quantity that counts)

I use Elixer Nanoweb 10s on all my guitars, i've tried every set of strings you can think of and these just have incredible feel and tone (especially on acoustic, they're incredible). They're really slick, so they're great for sliding stuff, and they have great sustain and last a long time (left a set on my acoustic for over 2 months and they still sounded great up until i broke one)



anyways, if you're breaking new strings when you tune your guitar, you're turning the knobs way too far (or the strings were defective). If you dont' have one, get an electric tuner (your strings should NEVER break when you put them on for the first time unless you're doing something wrong)
