Shopping day! Snark Tuner and String Savers saddle

Ok. I have a confession to make. I am a shopaholic. Ok, not that bad of a shopaholic for stuff that I don't use but, I just enjoying shopping for Guitar related gear. I just happened to lost my tuner. Conveniently. I wrote about how good Snark Tuners are previously. Well, it isn't a lie. It is that good. The best part is after you string a note, the needle points to the tuning VERY fast and tight. Thumbs up.

The other thing I bought, was a set of String Savers saddles. If you have guess it, it is for my "Malmsteen". I like this guitar to look relic and used. However, I hate rusted parts. Why? Well, I hate the fact that the threading of the screws tends to wear out after rusting and not to mention, it leaves your hands really dirty after playing. So, I was contemplating on changing either the saddle height screws or the saddles themselves. Since a set of them retail for just below $40, I chose the latter. I wanted the full String Saver version but they only had the classic version left for my bridge's size. I got it anyway. The rust cannot stay!

Christmas gift part 1

So, Christmas is around the corner and people like me are probably rushing to buy Christmas gifts. So, I asked myself, what can I get my guitar player friends a good and useful Christmas gift with a rough budget of $15 SGD. Yes, I am a cheap individual. But hey! It's the thought that counts right?

Now, i would always like to give people something that is actually useful. No, I don't want to give people a cup or photoframe. That is just stupid. Sorry if you are reading this and this is exactly what you gave someone. It just is.

Anyway, first and top off my list is a Snark Tuner. The Snark Tuner is a cheap and yet very effective tuner in the market of clip on tuners. It is actually very precise and accurate despite it's price. So if you have a guitar player friend whom you need to give a Christmas present to, do consider the Snark Clip On Tuner.
