[QUOTE=Mooe94;15731613]Ah, I see. So, any brands that I should keep an eye on and brands I should stay away from?[/QUOTE] You might find brands like Epiphone to be useful, they make some great guitars and they're relatively cheap.
[QUOTE=Mooe94;15729743]I've always heard that a good guitar is an expensive guitar[/QUOTE] Completely wrong. It depends on whether YOU like it. I got my LTD Viper for $400, which isn't expensive for a guitar. It sounds AMAZING. Go to a guitar shop and try out guitars that you like. Maybe you'll find a good guitar that's $300. If you like a guitar, but is rediculously expensive, find it on musiciansfriend.com. They have new guitars for cheap, and ship free.
Agh, I wish I had my camera for this thread. Also, i'm thinking of taking my grade 8 this summer, any advice?
I want an acoustic guitar so very badly :( Everything I write sounds 20 times better on one
[QUOTE=Mooe94;15731613]Ah, I see. So, any brands that I should keep an eye on and brands I should stay away from?[/QUOTE] Greg Bennett (aka. Samick) They're just AWESOME for the price you pay, way better than Corts. The Torino series (SG-lookalike), once you get it set up properly is perfect. Especially the arch-top TR4 I have [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMt7J0i8meY[/media] Looks better than an SG too [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=620HM3Atd7U[/media] And this is an Avion, a LP copy Sorry for "advertising" them, but they get way too overlooked on the low-price market. I could get either a Squier Affinity, or that TR4 (for basically the same price). I see shitloads of LTD's, Squiers, Corts, and none of these sweet guitars
[QUOTE=Mooe94;15731613]Ah, I see. So, any brands that I should keep an eye on and brands I should stay away from?[/QUOTE] Yamaha is usually a safe bet, at least with electrics. I'd imagine you can get a good quality accoustic for fairly cheap.

Anyone bother answering me? What's better, Jackson Dinki or Dean MLX? [img]http://d2k5.com/sa_emots/mad.gif[/img]

^ Adrian Smith has said his Favourite Guitar is a "Black Beauty". I trust his opinion about his own guitar more than yours I'm afraid.
[QUOTE=HellNaw;15736227]Anyone bother answering me? What's better, Jackson Dinki or Dean MLX? [img]http://d2k5.com/sa_emots/mad.gif[/img][/QUOTE] Get the Jackson if you're a bad enough dude to handle the Floyd Rose bridge.
[img]http://www.lisashea.com/hobbies/music/ibanezguitar/ibanez.jpg[/img] I have one of these. It doesn't exactly suit me, I play mostly metal. Although this does put out a decent distorted tone through a nice amp. Hopefully I'm going to get myself a nice ESP electric.

[QUOTE=Bob Sagat;15741463]Get the Jackson if you're a bad enough dude to handle the Floyd Rose bridge.[/QUOTE] I really don't see a problem with the Floyd Rose, it's perfect for my style of playing, then again I go psycho on the whammy bar...
my generic strat copy sucks ass
Fuck it I want one of those Epiphone G400's sooo badly, anyone else have one?
[QUOTE=HellNaw;15736227]Anyone bother answering me? What's better, Jackson Dinki or Dean MLX? [img]http://d2k5.com/sa_emots/mad.gif[/img][/QUOTE] Straight up answer: Jackson. [editline]01:29AM[/editline] Everyone I have decided to not get the SL2H Soloist. It's just too much money to put into a guitar that I'm not even sure I'll carry on liking after I buy it. I definitely still want a jackson, and after testing LOADS of guitars today in denmark street (for anyone not familiar, denmark street is a small but legendary street in London that is made up of about 10 guitar shops, a couple of other instrument shops, one music bookshop and a cafe. very cool) I've decided that I really like the V or Rhoads sort of shape, I don't know why anyone says they're uncomfortable. So I'll probably get this: [img]http://www.jacksonguitars.com/images/products/products/2913025877_md.png[/img] I played an SL2H in a shop today and they only had it in snow white, and I'm beginning to really like white guitars, especially with a set neck. And the light maple necks with the black inlays are really growing on me. alternatively I'd get this [img]http://www.jacksonguitars.com/images/products/products/2913024898_md.png[/img] Also saw this an a shop today: [img]http://www.cort.co.kr/DataBank/product/model/VX/zoom/VX-4X_041.JPG[/img] Super epic. I could get that actually. I wish I'd tested it.
[QUOTE=Nevermind me;15731225]I got screwed out of my PRS! :mad: So instead I got this; [img]http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/5/7/7/589577.jpg[/img] From the same guy. :neckbeard:[/QUOTE] i want to pick up bass just so i can use an instrument like this.
I know, if I could get any bass I wanted, I definitely get a 4003...
[QUOTE=Olinaj;15743200]Fuck it I want one of those Epiphone G400's sooo badly, anyone else have one?[/QUOTE] I bought one from my guitar teacher, it's a great guitar.
[QUOTE=lettuce_head;15743453][img]http://www.jacksonguitars.com/images/products/products/2913024898_md.png[/img][/QUOTE] That is so hot... I love the RR-shape with the Jackson head. It looks so evil.
^ It is very sexy. Prefer the white one personally. I'd quote but we don't need to spam the page with pictures of the same guitar.
[QUOTE=Mooe94;15731613]Ah, I see. So, any brands that I should keep an eye on and brands I should stay away from?[/QUOTE] very good relatively cheap brands are Takamine, Washburm and some Ibanez for acoustics. I've been playing for about 5 years and my Washburn D10 works just fine. It RRPs for about $400-$450 AUS, and it's still a very good guitar. [QUOTE=Visage;15741790] I have one of these. It doesn't exactly suit me, I play mostly metal. Although this does put out a decent distorted tone through a nice amp. Hopefully I'm going to get myself a nice ESP electric.[/QUOTE] You should never play metal on an acoustic, it's not designed like that. The smart thing to do would have been to analyze what you wanted to play and made a purchase accordingly. Also, a bit of advice, for electrics and more specifically metal, I find Jacksons and Ibanezs are better than ESPs.
Thinking about getting one of these now: [url]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/78308[/url] Thoughts?
[QUOTE=100chaz;15749457]Thinking about getting one of these now: [url]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/78308[/url] Thoughts?[/QUOTE] Vox amps are generally good quality, but 150 pounds seems a bit much for a 30 watt amp.
[QUOTE=kitthehacker;15749659]Vox amps are generally good quality, but 150 pounds seems a bit much for a 30 watt amp.[/QUOTE] That's bullcrap. I paid €400 for my Tiny Terror, which is only 15 watt. Just play it and see if it's worth the money :v:
I was about to say, £150 is actually quite good money as far as I know.
[QUOTE=kitthehacker;15749659]Vox amps are generally good quality, but 150 pounds seems a bit much for a 30 watt amp.[/QUOTE] No, that's about the right price for a 30-watt tube amp. Never been a big fan of modeling amps but to each their own.
Thing is, I'd get a tube amp, but I'd rather have the versitality. Also, the Vox contains a valve in it's preamp so it feels a lot like playing an tube amp.
[QUOTE=Mooe94;15729743]I've always heard that a good guitar is an expensive guitar[/QUOTE] Not necessarily. You can get a cheaper guitar, stick some hot-rod pickups in it, and have the same sound as an expensive name brand.
