Think about it.

Any 5-string bass can have a high C. Or a low B. Or a low C. Or a High B. Or, you could tune it DADGA. You could tune it CEADA. Or ADGBE.

EIEIO. Whatever.

You could have any tuning you want on any bass, as long as you aren't trying to tune the strings up so high that they break (or ruin the action, which would happen well before your strings break), or so low that they're flapping in the breeze.

All you have to do is, buy a set of standard-tuning strings, plus one higher. For instance, Earnie Ball's come from about .100-.095 to about .045-.040 gauges, for a four-string set, EADG. They make a .028 and a .018 available as a single. I'd say the .028 would probably do for a C.

Other companies will have similar sizes; play around with a few until you find a gauge you like.

Comparing 6 String And 12 String Guitars

6-string or 12-string Acoustic guitar, which should you get? Both have pros and cons, and both are excellent instruments, depending on what you're looking to accomplish on guitar and how much you are willing to spend. In this article, we'll go over both guitars, which will hopefully help you make an educated decision on which to purchase.

The Main Difference Between Both Guitars:

The major difference, of course, is the number of strings. On a 6-string Acoustic guitar in standard tuning, there is one low e, one a, one d, one g, one b and one high e string, in that order. A 12-string acoustic has two low e, two a, two d, two g, two b, and two high e strings, all in that order. 12-string guitars have the ability to be tuned in two different tunings, while 6-string guitars don't. On the other hand, 12-string guitars also have a lot more tension on their necks, and as a result, their necks tend to warp after only a few years of playing.

Which should I pick?

That's a good question, and it depends on a few different things, all of which are discussed here:

The Advantages of a 6-String

To start with, 6-string guitars are much easier to learn than 12-strings are. This is because of the number of strings and how close together they are on the 12-string. It is nearly impossible to perform certain guitar techniques (like bends) on the 12-string guitar, and significantly harder to tune the guitar and change strings. Also, string picking is complicated by the number of strings. Thus, 6-string guitars are really ideal for those looking to play lead Acoustic guitar, that is, those who want to play a lot of individual notes (not just chords) and use guitar techniques like bends/slides/hammer-ons/pull-offs etc. Beginners will also have an easier time learning to play guitar on a 6-string than on a 12-string, for the reasons mentioned above.

The Advantages of a 12-string

Despite what was said in the last paragraph, there are quite a few advantages to 12-string guitars. 12-string guitars produce a very rich, bright sound. This is because they have twice the number of strings as a 6-string does. Chords strummed on a 12-string guitar will sound a lot richer (better) than those strummed on a 12-string. Additionally, the 12-string guitar gives you the option of using two different tunings. You can't do that on the 6-string. Beginners can learn to play 12-string guitars, but it will take a bit more practice to master than the 6-string. However, if you can master a 12-string, a 6-string guitar will be very easy to play.

What to keep in mind

Most musicians who use 12-string guitars use the 6-string guitar as their primary instrument. They usually pull out the 12-string when a song calls for a big, bright rhythm sound. So, if the songs you want to play feature mainly chords (and the songs call for a very rich sound) then a 12-string would be a good purchase, even if you are a beginner. The learning curve on a 12-string would obviously be steeper, but it would still be doable and worth it. If, however, you are looking to play songs with chords and individual notes, or simply want an instrument that isn't as complex and difficult to learn, a 6-string guitar is your best bet. You might also want to consider cost. Good 12-string guitars are usually $100-$200 more than good 6-string guitars. If you're on a budget, you'll probably want to pick the 6-string guitar.

yeah,it's bootlegged,or some manufatories they do OEM for brand guitar and they copy the brand guitar and sell them. The noraml price is about 50-80USD for fender , ST,ect brand copy.

and u don't need electricity power connect to the guitar it seems, cuz you only need to plugget the sound output to the speaks which with power or the Guitar Effect with battery.

if you want the guitar sound itself by sound , you need use a 110-220V electric transformator and consider the plug difference and you need to attach a plug converter.or you can also use battery.

but you may consider the shippment cost from china to USA. if the seller do not offer a good discount of EMS,it will take you a lot. like 50% EMS discount for 4KG package,it will take 56USD to USA. One small advice,if you really plan to buy it, you can attach some other things like light in weight buy high value to make the batch more worth.

Yamaha Electric Guitars

Yamaha electric guitars are produced by a company with more than 100 years of experience and expertise in making musical instruments. The brand stands on a good and proven record of quality products. Yamaha fabricated its first electric guitar in 1966 at its factory in Central Japan.

One of Yamaha’s core values is the absolute joy of music. For this reason, the company aims to make this wonderful discovery attainable by everyone. To meet this goal, Yamaha has a variety of complete guitar kits on the market. The Yamaha EG-112PF Electric Guitar kit is a popular choice for new beginners. This kit includes a practice amplifier, padded gig bag, guitar cable, 2 single-coil pickups, 1 humbucking pickup, 5-positiong pickup switch, a tremolo bar, and chrome hardware. Satisfied customers claim that it is the best choice for any beginner. In fact, many accomplished guitarists today began with this very kit. One of the nice things about the Yamaha EG-112PF Electric Guitar kit is that as the novice guitarists improves and becomes more accomplished, this first-love guitar can easily be overhauled to meet the needs of the growing musician.

Along these same lines is the Gigmaker EG guitar pack. This kit includes a PAC012 Pacifica solid body electric guitar, 20-watt 2-channel Drive guitar amp, Qwik Tune Digital chromatic tuner, guitar cable, gig bag, guitar strap, and an instructional DVD.

Another unique electric guitar made by Yamaha is the SLG100 Silent guitar. This guitar is perfect for people who live in populated areas such as student dorms, apartments, and condos.

Then, just hook up to a sound system and you are ready for public performances.

Yamaha electric guitars are recognized for their through neck system whereas the neck is set deeply into the body instead of being bolted onto the body. Yamaha electric guitars are also known for their patented “T-Cross system” and “sustain Plate”. These new features resulted in a powerful yet warm tone quality. Known as high quality, yet affordable for the beginning and intermediate guitarist, it is often said that a Yamaha electric guitar is the optimal choice because it is both affordable and easy to play.

Like all the famous electric guitar manufacturers, Yamaha makes a variety of models. The Pacific series is significant because it was the first to be designed and built in the American Custom Shop in Hollywood California with the input from professional players.

Guitar - Beyond the Chord Chart

We've all been there - soon after we get hold of our first guitar we know that to play anything people are actually going to listen to we need to "learn a few chords". These first few chords for most beginners end up being the open position chords, down at the first few frets.

Soon, we begin to associate these basic chords with shapes - E, A, D, C and G shapes. These 5 shapes are way more fundamental than we initially think, because once it comes to mastering the dreaded F chord, or more accurately, the "E-shape barre", we immediately feel liberated - we can now create major and minor chord variations up and down the neck.

Some stop there. Some may even go on to realize the "A shape barre" (based on the A string) can widen our scope of tone and voicing that little bit more. True, these two movable shapes are indeed enough for most of today's middle-of-the-road rock music. You can write great songs with a mix of the 5 open position shapes, and these two barre shapes, even epics!

But why stop there? Why limit yourself at all? There's so much more to discover on the fretboard. Different voicings - voicings that can make a chord on its own sound 10 times more intricately lush. The truth is, as guitarists get into their 2nd year of playing, these fixed form chords begin to sound, well...a little dull.

Too many guitarists are missing out on producing music that will astound themselves, let alone others, because of their love affair with the quick-reference chord chart, learning parrot fashion, shrugging off any understanding of "what that chord would sound like voiced...here" and knowing your several options.

You may be thinking "this sounds complicated, where do I go from here? What do I need to learn to be able to think outside the box when it comes to constructing interesting chords?"

Two words that will make some jump into their guitar case - chord theory

Chord theory is a subject area of guitar that doesn't necessarily have to be pretentious, elitist or just for jazz/classical guitarists. Explained and learned the right way, knowing some basic guitar chord theory can open up a songwriting factory in your head, producing its goods right on your guitar.

There are 5 steps you need to go through to reach your guitar chord nirvana (and I DON'T mean the band!), the first 3 you probably already have...

1) Learn the 5 barre chord shapes (E, A, C, D and G)

2) Learn the major scale in 8 (yes, eight) different positions based around these barre shapes

3) Use your knowledge of the major scale to create triads, 7ths and extended chords in several positions on the fretboard. This is the foundation for building unique and interesting chord voicings.

4) Use your knowledge of chord construction to create unique chord voicings with inversions all over the fretboard.

5) Don't forget to "float" chords occasionally with open strings.

Once you invest a little of your practice time learning chord theory basics (it doesn't take long to pick up), you'll start to investigate the fretboard as second nature. You'll come up with chord progressions and really use your ears to identify the "right" chord for the change. Your playing will open up to a diverse range of styles.

Most of all though, creating unique original music that is truly "you" won't be limited by the size of a chord chart - it will only be limited by the 6 strings on your guitar.

I hadn't heard of them, but it seems like something you might want to research further and hang on to. It might be a collector item someday! I did find a picture of one here:

Does yours look like that?
It seems, from what I've found though, that Giles Guitar company stopped making guitars in 1998. Probably why you can't find much info on them.

Sounds pretty nice. Hope you got a good deal on it.

BEST GIBSON GUITAR SALES

Gibson guitars are well-known and respected in the guitar industry. But although Gibson is an enduringly popular and top guitar brand used by many famous musicians, Gibson guitar sales have had their ups and downs over the years. In 1960, Gibson guitar sales decreased due to competition from Fender’s Stratocaster line. The increasingly popular Stratocaster was cutting heavily into Gibson guitar sales.

In response, Gibson redesigned its guitars to be lighter and thinner with cutaways, which helped the company regain market share and increase Gibson guitar sales. The company’s fortunes also suffered in the 1970s and 1980s, but the company regained prominence when it was bought by its current owners, Henry E. Juszkiewicz, David H. Berryman, and Gary A. Zebrowski, in 1986. More recently, the company has been hurt by the worldwide economic recession, and in March 2009 the company laid off 50 employees worldwide, citing a 20% worldwide drop in musical instrument sales in general, including Gibson guitar sales.

If you’re looking for discounts and sales on Gibson guitars, now is a good time. The poor economy has caused both the Gibson website and guitar stores in general to drop prices and put many Gibson guitar models on sale. Right now on the Gibson website, one can find special sales on many Gibson guitars.

For example, the site is running a special Gibson guitar sale on Gibson SG Standards and SG Specials. A Gibson SG Special is on sale for $1,665, slashed from $1,799. An even more tempting sale price is available on the Gibson USA SG Standard: its price has been slashed from $2,517 to a special low sales price of $1,998.

Other Gibson guitar sales and discounts can be found at many other guitar stores and online musical instrument sales sites. These drastic Gibson guitar sales and discounts make this a good time to buy a Gibson guitar at a low price, getting a top-quality guitar at affordable prices during this tough economy.
