Alex S asked:


I want to find a cheaper guitar, (under $1000) that provides for a heavy and intense sound. I’m looking for a sound in the vein of As I Lay Dying, The Devil Wears Prada, Underoath, Pantera, Avenged Sevenfold (older sound), confide, our last night, Alesana, ect. Overall, just a Numeatal or metal core sounding guitar.

What are the differences between thin and thick strings? 2. If my low e string was 68 gauge, how would that sound? 3. Can you tell me more about strings in general?

Trav asked:


I have had my electric guitar for 5 years now. Recently it sounded awful and I put new strings on. Well, when i play rock acoustic songs, it sounds fine, but the amp hasn’t sounded good here recently. Is it about time to buy a new amp or is 5 years not long enough for amps to start messing up?

I have an ARCHER electric guitar and a JOHNSON amp.
