Ibanez SGT122 SAGE SERIES

Ibanez SGT122 SAGE SERIES 12- String Acoustic Guitar Natural



Ibanez SGT122 SAGE SERIES 12- String Acoustic Guitar Natural



Luxury appointments at a down-to-earth price.

Check out the Ibanez SGT122 SAGE SERIES Acoustic Guitar and you'll be amazed at the retro look and feel, inspired by the 1st Golden Age of Ibanez acoustic guitars. The shape of the headstock, body, pickguard and bridge recall a time when things were just a bit more ornate, and pride in craftsmanship was much easier to find.

There's something almost magical about the sound of a 12-string. There's nothing quite like the natural chorus sound. The dreadnought body shape is particularly well-suited for making yourself heard in a group, but the tones are certainly sweet enough for it to stand on it's own.

Ibanez SGT122 SAGE SERIES 12- String Acoustic Guitar Features:

* 12-string
* Dreadnought body
* Spruce top
* Mahogany back and sides
* Pearloid rosette
* Ibanez chrome die-cast tuners
* High gloss finish

What Is A Humbucker?

What Is A Humbucker?

There are two main types of electric guitar pickups: single coils and humbuckers. Single coils were the first pickups invented. They consist of a single bobbin (spool) containing one or more magnets. Humbuckers, developed by Seth Lover while working for Gibson in 1955, are two single coils that are wired together. By hooking a pair of single-coil pickups together, you get less noise than a typical single coil, and you get fatter, richer tone. You also get much more output than single-coil pickups, so they overdrive amps much differently. Humbuckers usually have two bobbins side-by-side, but there are also "stacked" humbuckers that are actually two single coils stacked on top of each other. Stacked humbuckers require no new holes or modifications to a standard single-coil guitar, and they deliver the same fat tone as side-by-side humbuckers.

Care And Cleaning Of Guitar Strings & Fretboards

Care And Cleaning Of Guitar Strings & Fretboards

Cleaning your strings and fretboard is one of the easiest and most overlooked areas of guitar maintenance. Take a good look at your strings. Are they accumulating a film? (You may need to look on the underside to see all the dirt you have on them.) There are a handful of products designed to extend the life of your strings, but if you want to go the economy route, simply wiping them down with a slightly damp cloth will be better than nothing, and you’ll find you won’t have to change your strings as much.

Do you see dirt and grime building up on the fretboard? You might as well clean this surface during string changes. Use a slightly damp cloth or a good guitar cleaner. Some people recommend using the finest grade of steel wool to abrade extra tough dirt off your fretboard. I haven’t had to go this far yet, and would urge caution. Go easy on the elbow grease as to not scratch the finish on the wood. Long sweat and dirt buildup can eventually damage glue joints and warp your instrument (this would be after a long period of exposure without any maintenance). An occasional cleaning of the fretboard will extend its life and keep your solos blazing.

How Can I Keep From Breaking Strings On My Guitar?

How Can I Keep From Breaking Strings On My Guitar?

First, always handle new strings with care. If you bend or put a kink in a new string when you're taking it out of the pack, you can create a weak spot in the string that will snap in the middle of your first solo every time.

Breaking strings on electric guitars is usually caused by two things: technique and worn bridge saddles. When you pick the strings, they move slightly across the saddle before sounding. The length of travel depends on where and how you pick the string. A tiny burr or groove in the bridge saddles can catch the string and cause it to break. If you're breaking a lot of strings at the bridge, it's probably caused by a funky saddle. Replacement saddles are relatively inexpensive and easy to install at home. Make sure replacement saddles are stainless steel or some other hard metal designed to reduce string breakage. If replacement saddles don't solve the problem, you'll either have to get used to busted strings or change your playing style.

On acoustic guitars, there can be sharp edges near the end of the pin that catch the strings. Sometimes an emory board or fine sandpaper can be carefully used to fix this problem.

DigiTech
Up to 89 total models and a unique way to blend them together fast. Accessing superbly detailed new amp models has never been easer than with the DitiTech RP250 Modeling Guitar Processor! There are three easy steps to dial in the perfect sound with DigiTech s new Tone and Effects library knobs:

1. Pick one of 30 tone presets,

2. Pick one of 30 effects chains,

3. Dial in your effects level and rock on.

You may never go any deeper into the infinitely-tweakable RP interface. New RP tone and effects libraries let you access pre-designed combinations of models as fast as you can turn the knob. From mellow and bluesy to scorch-the-face-of-the-earth-raw, you re going to find combinations that fit your playing style. It's a modeling guitar processor with the raw power for real players and tone that deserves to be heard on stage and in the studio.

USB connectivity for recording, preset editing/archiving/downloading and more. The RP250 is ready to talk to your PC or Mac computer: it has a built-in 24-bit 2- in/2-out USB interface.

400% more horsepower. No wonder the RP250 sounds so good. You re looking at the one of the world s most advanced audio processors, the engine that gives this generation of RP models so much more raw impact and subtle detail. Other manufacturers use general- purpose, off-the-shelf chips. But creating the best guitar tone requires a 100% specialized, optimized processor. Being total audio processing fanatics, Chip Wizard engineers set out to create a super-processor specifically designed to power a whole new generation of effects and models. The design team worked for over two years, literally re-defining audio signal processing at the chip level. Then Tone Guru engineers - fresh from Production Modeling triumphs like the Jimi Hendrix Experience Artist Series pedal - set to work taking advantage of all this new raw processing power. When you hear what AudioDNA2 does for the tone of the DigiTech RP250 you ll agree it was all worth it.

Marshall Vintage Modern 2266 Tube Amp Head

Marshall Vintage Modern 2266 Tube Amp Head



Marshall Vintage Modern 2266 Tube Amp Head



If you're looking for the perfect marriage of classic, vintage rock tones with modern feature and levels of gain, your search is over!

The Marshall Vintage Modern 2266 50 Watt Head is an all-valve single channel amplifier with a choice of two dynamic ranges selectable by footswitch. The Low range equates to the performance you would come to expect from a stock vintage Marshall amplifier in terms of tone and available gain. The High range adds an extra preamp valve into the signal path, facilitating those classic hard rock tones of the seventies. Add to this the ability to dynamically interface with your instrument's Volume and Tone controls and the experience translates into a truly expressive and organic feel in performance.

Two frequency selective Pre-amp Volumes (Gains) - Body and Detail - facilitate greater flexibility in tone shaping for individual guitars and styles while the power amplifier is heavily influenced by the first Marshall amplifiers to be produced, with two KT66 output valves yielding that substantial, fat and smooth tone. A MID Boost switch on the front panel fattens the tone even more while a traditional Marshall tone control circuit enables fine tuning of your sound.

A master volume has been included in order to practically manage the output levels at all venues. This is implemented after the phase splitter in order to fully exploit maximum preamp drive when the master is turned down low. A reverb level control mixes the on board plate reverb with the direct signal to whatever degree the player chooses. The reverb can be toggled on and off via the footswitch.

Finally, a series FX loop is provided for those players who wish to use outboard effect to further enhance their sound. Loop levels of 10dB and +4dB can be controlled via a rear panel switch as well as the option to completely bypass this feature if it is not required.

The cosmetics are also a carefully crafted hybrid of old and new styles made even more dramatic by the deep purple vinyl that covers the entire series.

Marshall Vintage Modern 2266 Tube Amp Head Features:

* 50-Watt valve head
* Valve compliment: 4 x ECC83 (12AX7s) in preamp, 2 x KT66 in power amp
* Master Volume with two Gain Controls Detail (highs) & Body (lows)
* Two footswitchable Dynamic Ranges Low & High
* Mid Boost switch
* Footswitchable Proprietary digital Plate Reverb
* Series FX loop with level switch and bypass
* Made in England

Marshall Vintage Modern 2266 Tube Amp Head Specifications:

* Dimensions: 29-1/2" x 12" x 9" (750 x 310 x 230 mm)
* Weight: 39.6 lbs (18 kg)
