Best Answer

John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison had been playing together since 1958, under different band names. They adopted the Beatles name and "turned professional" in the spring of 1960. Pete Best joined them in August, just before they left for Hamburg. Ringo Starr replaced Best in 1962.

Can you reshape a guitar or does that destroy the harmonics of the guitar I'm using an m-50 electric guitar by ltd?

This depends on what type of guitar you are using. If you are using an acoustic guitar then reshaping will harm the sound. If you are using an electric guitar it will not, but you must have the strings set to the same tension after you have reshaped it.

What is so fascinating about an electric guitar?

In a standard acoustic guitar, the vibrations of the strings are transferred to the body which vibrates the air around it producing sound. This is the final output. The sound cannot be modified or amplified without considerable noise. In a standard electric guitar, the vibrations of the strings are converted to electric signals using magnetic pickups. Since the output of an electric guitar is an electric signal, it can be amplified and/or altered. Effects like overdrive, reverb and chorus can be applied to the output signal. An electric guitar can be made to sound like an acoustic guitar using the necessary effect. Techniques like hammer-ons and pull-offs may be extensively used while playing on an electric guitar. Extended playing techniques like finger tapping etc is possible only with an electric guitar. Tremolo arms can be used with electric guitars. Definitely, an electric guitar is much more versatile than an acoustic guitar because of the fact that the output of an electric guitar is purely an electric signal. An electric guitar is cheaper than an acoustic guitar of the same quality because electrics are easier to build than acoustics.
