experienced a first today

Post by Randall » Thu Oct 16, 2003 11:47 am

put a new set of strings on a strat, stretched them out and tuned it by ear, when I plugged it into my tuner every string was in perfect 440 pitch :shock: !!!!, kind of freaked me out, wondering if I can do it again :shock:

Do you mean every string was at 440? Or your A was at 440 and everything else was in tune with that?

One of those 1,000,000 monkeys at a typwriter kind of deals. Just think how many guitars were being blindly tuned up at that same exact moment WITHOUT the same results. a very lucky guy i tell ya.

oh yea, and that is amazing. i wish i could get perfect tuning all the time... maybe you have magic hands? i guess that's what we'll have to start calling you around here.

Randall, aka 'magic hands'.

except that sounds really gay now that i think about it.
