I dunno what it is, but ever since I've gotten my guitar re-strung, it has been the worst sounding instrument in the world. I cringe with every strum, and I'm lucky if blood itself doesnt begin to flow from my ears. Well, I did get my strings for a very, very low price of about $3.50, but then again, my bro paid about the same, along with the re-stringing by a "professional." My brother did mine (I allowed him becuase he wanted to experiment and see if he could do it) Now, I'm not blaming him, but there is a major diffrence. His guitar sounds amazing. Every note is plesant to the ears, where mine is as if nails are being pulled on a dusty chalkboard. What could be the problem? Any ideas or suggestions would be great. |

I've given it a month, no change for the better. I think i'll just head over to the music store one day and see if they can tell me anything new/helpfull. |

Did you restring with the same old strings you had before? If not, I'd guess you got your guitar restrung.

Why do you not change your strings yourself? It's really not that hard to do. And you could be buying the strings and changing them yourself for free, instead of paying someone else to do it. And if your guitar DID get damaged by whoever changed them, you could avoid that by changing your own strings.

That's strange to me. After all, I have no set schedule for sleeping. Take this weekend, for example. Friday night I stayed up til sunrise, and slept in until 4 pm for work. Then I stayed up til sunrise again on Saturday night, but got up at 11 for work. And I've stayed up all night studying for my Physics test at 11. I wish I could go to sleep right after that, but I have another class followed by a two hour lab. I hate Mondays. |

Yeah, I get up around 6 in the morning. But I always try and wake up on that time, school day or not. |

I was just curious because it was 6:20 when you posted. Man you get up early. |

Getting ready for school, stopping by the forum, is that okay mom? |

Fleabass is right. I'll just drop some cash on a counter and see what the guys can do. But take my word for it, it sounds like complete shit.  |

I'd say take it in somewhere to be checked out. There's very little anyone can do w/o seeing it or hearing it. |

What exactly makes it sound bad? A rattling sound? Just plain out of tune? Bad tone? Is it electic or acoustic?
Oh, its an acoustic. My friend suggested it might have had to do with the bridge, and I thought of that also. The sound is just pure crap really, even tuned to it's best. Should I take it to my local music shop and see what they can do? Cause thats what i'm considering. |

It could have to do with the intonation...if the bridge saddle was moved at all...another thing could be if the new strings are too small for your nut(hehe). What exactly makes it sound bad? A rattling sound? Just plain out of tune? Bad tone? Is it electic or acoustic? |
