It seems as though every time I go to play out live, there never are enough Direct boxes to go around. I am fairly new at playing live with a bunch of other musicians so if anyone out there has any…Continue

Is it ok to remove all the strings at once when you are changing your strings on an acoustic guitar?

I've heard two different ways to change strings. One way is to remove and replace them one at a time. The other way is that you remove them all at once. What is your experience in this matter? I…Continue

I'm playing live this Friday and I need a good direct box."As I have said to a few others asking about DI Boxes, I have tried numerous ones, and actually the cheapest one I have found does the best job that I have seen.

Robert Sheer replied to Robert Sheer's discussion Help! I'm playing live this Friday and I need a good direct box."When you say 48v phantom power, does that mean it is powered from the mixing board back down through the mic cable? I have a condenser mic that has phantom power and have always wondered how it actually worked. And is this the same process with the…"
Robert Sheer replied to Robert Sheer's discussion Help! I'm playing live this Friday and I need a good direct box."Thans everyone for the input. Do the cheaper di boxes work or should I spend the bucks on one? I have seen a bunch on amazon for around $20 to $30 and was wondering if they would be work ok.

tom blegen replied to Robert Sheer's discussion Help! I'm playing live this Friday and I need a good direct box."It's the most overlooked component of the signal chain!

Charlie Simpson replied to Robert Sheer's discussion Help! I'm playing live this Friday and I need a good direct box."Robert, check out the LR Baggs para-acoustic DI. I've read a lot of good things about them and a buddy said that's the one to get. Good luck Fri.

It seems as though every time I go to play out live, there never are enough Direct boxes to go around. I am fairly new at playing live with a bunch of other musicians so if anyone out there has any advice for me, I would greatly appreciate it. I have two or three guitars that I take when I play out. The first and my main guitar is a Fender solid top acoustic electric. The next one is my Taylor GS Mini with the EsGo pick-up. I also on occasion bring my Cordoba classical guitar with a Dean…See More

Richard Ellis replied to Robert Sheer's discussion Is it ok to remove all the strings at once when you are changing your strings on an acoustic guitar?"I always take al the strings off of my classical, clean it up and restring it. A classical with no truss rod will use nylon strings so while the neck may not be as strong, it is under much less tension than a typical steel string accoustic"
Roland Vinyard replied to Robert Sheer's discussion Is it ok to remove all the strings at once when you are changing your strings on an acoustic guitar?"I have been told by luthiers to do one string at a time when you can. It puts less stress on the instrument. I do one string, tune it to near pitch, then the next, so the stress stays relatively the same. But even a finely and delicately built…"
Judgestone replied to Robert Sheer's discussion Is it ok to remove all the strings at once when you are changing your strings on an acoustic guitar?"On my acoustics, I change them all out at the same time. On my electrics I do them one at a time, only reason I do them one at a time, is because the bridge will fall off if I don't. The strings are what holds it on. I could…"
Bill Kile replied to Robert Sheer's discussion Is it ok to remove all the strings at once when you are changing your strings on an acoustic guitar?"Thanks for the reply, Ship. I just took a close look at my fretboard and, although I wipe it down regularly after long playing and practice sessions, ... well, let's just say all the strings are coming off for the next changing."

- Thanks Walt and thanks for the nice welcome. I am looking forward to any input that I can get. I absolutely love playing guitar and I can't get enough. I think that I am driving everyone around me crazy, but that is okay, because with each practice I get closer to more fluid playing.

Welcome to the Acoustic Newb group. There are players of all experience levels here, which is nice because we new players can learn from some of them as well as from each other. We have a lot of fun, so jump in wherever you like. There's no deep end!
