Question 1

Does it work with Rocksmith?

Accepted Answer

With Rocksmith for PC 2014, the game tells you the guitar isn't loud enough. My other guitar has a 9V battery for the pickup and it works well with Rocksmith. I am not sure if maybe you can boost the signal before plugging into the game.

Question 2

Can you put a strap on this guitar?

Accepted Answer

Tying a strap to the neck looks dorky and makes it hard to get the strap on and off. For about 75 cents US, you can go to your local music store and buy a "strap button" -- a little hourglass-shaped piece of metal with a hole through the middle. Just screw the strap button to the guitar and TA-DAA! That's it, you're strapped!Example: http://www.amazon.com/Jim-Dunlop-Strap-Button-Single/dp/B000X31R2EThe goal here is to attach the strap button to the center of the "heel" of the guitar (the heel is the part of the back of the neck where the wood swoops down to join the back of the body; Google has some pictures of it). Nowadays I use a drill to make a starter hole for the screw, but if you're lacking power tools and fairly patient, you can just use the screw itself to drill its own screwhole, as follows...DIY INSTRUCTIONS: Position the point of the screw touching the center of the heel where you want to start the hole, then hold the screw there with one hand and use the other hand to turn the screw clockwise with firm pressure, so the threads of the screw drill themselves into the wood. (You may need pliers or tape etc to hold the screw in the right place at the right angle until you get it going. Also a screwdriver DUH.) Drive the screw in about halfway then unscrew it and take it out, then use that same hole to screw the strap button to the guitar, driving the screw all the way in this time so it holds the button snugly onto the wood. This was how I attached the strap button to my first acoustic guitar in 1981 and to many many others in between.(I admit I put a few scratches on the heel of my first guitar from the screw tip slipping around before I got it started in -- and before I discovered pliers & tape -- but nobody ever saw that part of the guitar anyway.) (I suppose you could also just have them install the button at the place where you buy it, but stuff like that never occurred to me as a kid.)Strap buttons usually come with the screw included, but if yours doesn't, find a wood screw skinny enough to go through the hole in the button but with a head big enough to stop it from going all the way through, at least 1 inch long and I usually go at least 1.5 inches. As long as you're close to the fat middle of the heel and use a thin screw, you won't split the wood or anything, and the guitar should hang fine around your neck. And strange as it sounds, you'll feel closer to your guitar afterward, knowing you mutilated it yourself. I did, anyway. But whether you install it yourself or have it done for you, don't be a dweeb -- forget them silly knots and get you a strap button!.

Question 3

Why does it say acoustic electric can you plug it up to an amp

Accepted Answer

Yes, it comes with a cord which allows you to plug into an amp (if you want to) it sounds very good too. This guitar is the sweetest value you will find, I have not read one bad review out of many, I always tell everyone that I can't believe the whole package was less than $100.

Question 4

How often do you have to tune this guitar? Does it stay in tune well? How is the sound quality, as I can see its body is not as big as other guitars?

Accepted Answer

This guitar stays in tune pretty good, I tune it once every time I play it, I do not have to tune it anymore after that. If you buy one of those SNARK clip-on tuners it is real easy to tune, less than $10.00. I did check and tighten any loose small screws on the tuning keys. I love the thin body of this guitar and it is plenty loud, more than you would think. There are many top name guitar builders making them now. The tone is pretty good too, as with any guitar, if you hear any rattles or buzzing, check for something loose on the guitar or you may need to adjust the truss rod on this guitar with the allen wrench that is provided. If you have an amplifier, plug it in, the guitar sounds pretty good that way too!! This guitar is one of the best bargains a person will ever find for under $100.00, a better one will cost you three times that much and there is really nothing wrong with this one.
