Tune Guitar Strings What hz do you tune acoustic guitar to? When do you change strings?
I tune my acoustic to 440 hz with an electric tuner. My guitar doesn't sound correct though. Am i on the wrong Hz or should i replace the strings?
Well, stupid answer. Yes? I'm using a KORG chromatic tuner ca-30. it says 440 at the top. i'm supposed to change the hz for every string? i thought tuners did this for me. But yeah, my guitar sounds AWFUL "tuned".
You are tuning to the proper frequency..".A" is 440 Hz. All guitars tune to the same note. (unless you play death metal, those morons tune way too low all the time)
This may be a D'uh question, but I guess I should ask...you don't tune all the strings to 440hz do you? (That would make it sound seriously wrong!)
Just asking, don't get mad, LOL

Do u haf 2 tune the guitar AGAIN after stretching the strings?
I JUST got my guitar tuned. And I need 2 start stretching the strings. But do I haff 2 tune my guitar again after I stretch the strings??? Its an acoustic if that helps any.
depends on alot of things, try playing your guitar a bit and do some bends and pulls, if it seems going out of tune tune, it again. But you most likely will need to tune it quite often just after stretching the strings.
I have a 2009 Gibson Les Paul Junior. Would Grover 18:1 Gear Ratio Rotomatics fit my guitar? (post hole size)?
i currently have Kluson Deluxe Vintage Style Tuners on them. all i want to know is what i have to do to put Grover rotomatics on.
Your guitar should have "vintage" style Grovers on it now. I believe the Rotomatics have a slightly larger post size.
I play the bass guitar (4 string), and recently found that in order to play songs by a variety of artists i have to drop the tuning down from EADG to BEAD. Now it seems fine except for the tension in the strings. . . it seems to be quite loose, and becomes a great source of annoyance to me, especially when trying to play some of the faster songs (the string just seems too lose, if it was a bit tighter it would be fine). I was just curious if getting thicker strings (basically get strings for a 5 string bass and use the thicker 4 on mine) would solve this problem (thicker strings means more tension to vibrate at the same frequency right?). Thank you.
There is no reason to change the tuning of your guitar. Tuning an E down to a B is just silly. Tuning UP to the B would be even worse. Tune your guitar to A440 and leave it at that. You should be able to play whatever you want to play with that tuning. The guitar was designed to be played with the standard tuning. Making a change for a song here or there is not something I would do...I'm a purist...but it's understandable for an effect. However, changing the setup of your guitar to accomodate different tuning is not someting I'd recommend.
