Electric==>accoustic?
Made the kerlassic mistake of starting out with electric, what's done is done. After three years of going pretty much nowhere, blues came back and hit me in the face and made me realise how much I need the accoustic. Anyone got any advice to make the switch, any finger muscling exercises, effective ways of starting out on the accoustic (other than theory)?
Thanks
Don't lose too much sleep about this whole thing, i have been playing and teaching on both for years and have a degree in jazz studies on guitar and I can tell you they are almost identical. The strings on an acoustic are typically a little heavier and a little higher off the neck, but it sort of feels like playing an electric with a really slow neck. Make the change, play what you normally play on your new acoustic and I would be shocked if you don't feel confident on it by the end of the month.

What pickups should i buy for my guitar?
i want to upgrade my pickups on my Westfield les paul copy. I play blues, rock and metal. i was thinking of putting seymour duncan jb and the bridge then jazz at the neck (hot rodded set) but will they give me metal tones? if not then i was thinking of replacing maybe the JB pickups with an EMG 81? would this give me both metal and rock to blues tones if i had a EMG 81 at the neck with a seymour duncan Jazz at the neck?
thank you
Hey Guitarkid...
You are mentioning 3 very different types of pickups. Someone mentioned not switching to active pickups (EMG's). Well, you can do that, but if you chose to have an active and passive pickup in the guitar, you would no longer be able to combine the sounds. For example, you would only be able to use the 3 way selector as a 2 way selector. Adding actives requires a decent amount of parts to be changed out such as pickup, jack, tone, volume, capacitor, and even installing a battery clip.
Its probably easiest, best, and cheapest to just stick with the passive pickups on your guitar. JB's are excellent pickups, however they are considered versatile. You can get great tones out of them clean, dirty, etc. If you are an exclusive metal player, you may want to look into some pickups designed for that specifically like Dimebuckers, Pearly Gates, Screamin Demons, DiMarzio Distortions, Liquifire, etc.
I have a Jazz pickup in the neck position of one of my guitars, and I don't like the way it sounds at all with distortion. It sounds very muddy and the tones are not distinct at all, but its sounds nice clean. I use my bridge pickups around 85% of the time, so to me, its important to have a great bridge pickup. A lot of the time I just leave the stock neck pickup in there because I use it so infrequently, or I just pick up something for around $30-$40 on Ebay.

Painting my guitar...?
OK, I wanna paint my Squier Strat guitar body. I'm mid-customising it and I've already got a left-handed Stratocaster neck for it. I'm going for a funky look. Maybe a 'The Fool' Clapton SG look or a Jackson Pollock design. I was thinking of roughing up the surface and just splashing some acrylic paint on it. I don't want to spend too much money on it, so I was just wondering if this is a good idea. Also, any ideas on cheap lacquer, or do I even HAVE to use lacquer? I live in Ireland and it's impossible to get that good Krylon stuff, so I'd have to use hardware store stuff. Do I need it? Thanks a lot for your help! 
Peace and love
Hello! Admittedly I am not an expert when it comes to painting wood, but I can attest to two important factors. First, it is critical that the wood be properly sealed and primed prior to painting. Second, enamel is not as flexible as lacquer, and will crack more easily when exposed to rapid changes in temperature. Even if you have to use a cheaper lacquer, it will be more stable on your guitar than expensive enamel. Hope this helps point you in the right direction. Best regards from California!

Which strap locks should I get?
I'm stuck between the choice of Dunlop Dual-Design (http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Dunlop-DualDesign-Straplok-System?sku=364008) strap locks, or Schaller Guitar strap locks (http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Schaller-Strap-Locks-and-Buttons-Pair-?sku=360389). I play guitar for a band, and want to be able to be crazy with my guitar on stage, spinning it a lot and junk. Which strap locks should I get for this? Please be specific with why...I don't want to break my guitar, and I don't want to have to buy another set of strap locks if I'm not happy with my purchase.
Strap locks are designed for normal usage
I wouldn't suggest any strap locks for spinning
I just don't trust them THAT far
If you want/have to spin the guitar, get a LARGE washer, and screw the strap to the body.
