| Most people think that the Behringer V-Tone II Guitar Pack is a very good
starter kit, although you would immediatly have to change the stock
strings. I have heard that you have to tune them often. Have you ever had
one or know someone who has? If so, what is your opinion on it? And no
matter what, is a tuner necessary. Just in general? And, for the last
question, is a microfiber cloth needed, or can you use an eyeglass cleaner
instead? (Ya, I know, 'stupid substitute,' but they are pretty much the
same thing, right?) Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it. -Jessica ____________________ Billy Martin is Perfection! |

Most guitar packages are the same. As a rule of thumb always change the
strings and get rid of the factory strings. Alot of things could cause the
guitar not to stay in tune.
1. If it's a plastic nut you may need some graphite in the string slots.
2. The cold weater effects the guitar neck and will cause problems
tuning
3. Poor setup and intonation is another
You can use a cotton tee-shirt if you like. Eye glass cloth will work
too.
Hope this helps |

Thanks a lot! I'm really grateful that I finally get the chance to play the
guitar. It's so much cheaper to get a guitar over the internet. Would this
be a bad move? And do you need a tuner?

is fine...If you pick the right website. ____________________ Treat people the way you would want to be treated. |
