Is there a big difference between Schecter Demon and Schecter Diamond Demon?

I hate to say it Polish but I'm selling my Ibanez. I haven't touched it since winter. I tried playing it at several gigs but the fucker just wouldn't stay in tune. I don't know what's wrong, it might even be my fault, but if it is my fault, then it doesn't matter which Ibanez I get because I won't be able to tune it properly. It even frustrated my dad. I don't know how exactly I'll get it sold but I'll use the money to save up for an acoustic.

I usually call people weak to insult them but that's seriously just weak, you're not trying hard enough.

I tried playing it at several gigs but the fucker just wouldn't stay in tune.

If the fucker wouldn't stay in tune at home, why would you try it on a stage in front of people when your expected to show your best.

but if it is my fault, then it doesn't matter which Ibanez I get because I won't be able to tune it properly.

If you can't tune a floating bridge then.... actually, I don't have the heart to tell you.

It even frustrated my dad.

My dad's an qualified Network Administrator but he still has problems with some basic computer problems. If there's one thing I learned, many fathers commonly exaggerate what they can do or what they know. So in my opinion, don't expect anything useful to come out of his mouth.

I don't know how exactly I'll get it sold

There's already my first clue that you don't research or talk to people enough.

but I'll use the money to save up for an acoustic.

I shed a tear... I really did. It was good knowing you.

I'm sorry I'm such a lazy failure. I'm not getting the acoustic. I'm just gonna accept my shameful defeat.

Don't listen to me, just do what you feel is right. And you're not a failure, just a little bit lazy - and that could be said for everyone here including me.

I'm gonna have a cry..my guitar suddenly stopped working, and by that I mean when I plug it into my amp I get nothing, not even the little pop I usually get when it connects to the amp. Even if I tap the pickups, so I'm assuming the pickups have died..though if that's true I don't know how they died, it was fine the day before.

Any way to tell if it is indeed the pickups? I don't exactly know much about guitars yet..

It's a Cort X2 btw.

Try a new lead. More than likely thats the problem.
It won't be the pickups. Not unless you've recently changed them.

Ha cheers mate, didn't think it could have been the lead seeing as I only bought it around 7 months ago, unless that's the life expectancy of a guitar lead or something :|

My LP fell off my stand today and the headstock snapped off. And I have no money to go see a luthier.

The one major structural weakness of Gibson guitar designs. A lot have had repairs over the years.

Also, I'm playing my accoustic a lot more than my electric, please help me get over this...

Did you even take the time to open the electronics cavity on the back? I'm sure for 90% that it's just the solder from one wire that snapped off. If not that, it's the cable itself (Where a similar issue happened within it). Pickups have a much MUCH longer life-expectancy than leads.

Yay for power chords.

Yea I did and the solder is definately intact, I know it's the cable now, I'ma buy a new soon.

Hey it's fun.

I mess around with power chords all the time, can be used quite well as long as you don't rely on them, I prefer making up more complicated riffs though.

The part that holds the base of the guitar isn't fixed on the stand, so when I put it down it rotated enough for the guitar to slip off the stand.

Good stuff. Only real men use wall hangers. It saves space and makes you look artsy, and the ladies love it.

I would get wall hangers, but with my TV, shelves, bookcases and posters there isn't enough wallspace.

Excuses, excuses. Rip those posters down, they're only paper anyways. Or hang it on your ceiling if you want to prove yourself worthy for not putting it on the wall in the first place.
