Don't sand the paint off. Use a chemical solvent, it'll save you time and effort, plus the wood will stay nice and smooth without many irregularities to worry about. Of course this only applies to the process of removing the paint. Once you get the primer on, you'll need to get your grit out and...

First of all, learn your theory! Screwing around looking for the notes that sound right is boring, and you could use that time to practice your phrasing and expression. And after you're confortable with key / scales / modal scales you can start getting into outside playing. Make your playing...

There's one saddle for each string on most guitars (Telecasters have one saddle for two strings).

I think you're confusing saddle with NUT.

Hummm... No thrash from an Orange. lol They pretty much do the vintage brit rock sound and not a lot more.

Dorian. Not metal \m/, I know.

Don't know then... Maybe yo should take it to a tech and be done with it.

It's about headroom. You won't sound any louder using a 100w cab like a Greenback loaded 412 than you would using a 240w V30 loaded 412 cab. A cab by itself doesn't produce sound. If you have a head that puts out 100w RMS, that's all you're going to get, period. The difference is that using that...

Maybe it's not the Tri... What poweramp and cab are you using it with?

Low gain amps and a nice OD pedal can get great distortion too (and I don't mean raunchy Texas blues, I mean bone crushing distortion ;) ).

I always thought it was alder... Maybe you're right. But yeah ash is one of the most common strat woods and it sounds pretty good, very balanced tone. Plus it looks great with a nice burst.

It won't hurt having the neck pickup anyway, just in case. I sure couldn't get along with just the bridge pickup.
