Guitar Discussion thread V5 - General

[QUOTE=CANAD14N;25844108]I've been watchin craigslist for the last forever looking for a decent deal on a guitar, my first, and I found a guy thats selling an Ibanez RG120 with a Marshal G15RCD amp, gig bag and some picks all for $200. What do you guys think? I looked up some reviews online and it seems like decent gear for a beginner. Any thoughts?[/QUOTE] The guitar is made out of weird material, but I have never played it so I can't judge.

It's $200, you really have extremely little to lose even if the guitar is shit, you're still getting an amp I say go for it

That said, I didn't know they made guitars out of plastic wood. Was kinda expecting it to be plywood when I read the reviews...agathis is just odd.

Holy shit that's badass

what is the DEAL with Rickenbacker I mean come on

It's called being original

that is a danelectro but if you mean rickenbacker in general, they're not that bad I'd get a tokai rockinbetter though

[img]http://www.drumza.com/images/SchecterAvengerElectricGuitar.jpg[/img] My favourite body shape, although I can't find anything more comfortable than a good 'ol strat shape.

[QUOTE=Rushnerd;25847246]Late 70's Alex Lifeson all the way![/QUOTE] Yeah! That Ibby (AS73) has insanely good tone. Light, fuzzy overdrive, mid up, low and high average, gain is somewhere around the middle, tone control on the guitar turned to seven, any pickup. That is, to me, the [I]perfect[/I] hard rock tone. I love my AS73. :h:

[QUOTE=mynames2long;25846404]I don't know about you, but I value beauty before originality and that's fucking ugly My bad, but same goes for them both really[/QUOTE] Nothing sounds like a Rickenbacker, because they pretty much don't let ANYONE get Ric parts, and the only Ric clone I've ever seen is the Tokai dcalde mentioned. And nothing sounds like a Danelectro because of how they were made originally (plywood and lipstick pickups). No one makes guitars like that, but say what you what they sound about unique as you can get [editline]4th November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Rushnerd;25847246]Late 70's Alex Lifeson all the way![/QUOTE] [img]http://www.gibson.com/Files/aaFeaturesImages2008/new_custom_alex_lifeson.jpg[/img] I would carpet bomb a small Middle Eastern country for one of those guitars

it looks like it'd just start playing la villa strangiato all by itself

[QUOTE=absinthe;25851971]it looks like it'd just start playing la villa strangiato all by itself[/QUOTE] The live rendition on Exit Stage Left is my favourite instrumental, fuck, song, ever, the solos from it could wipe out a small [I]continent.[/I]

[QUOTE=absinthe;25851971]it looks like it'd just start playing la villa strangiato all by itself[/QUOTE] Fucking lol

Favorite body shape: [img]http://www.productwiki.com/upload/images/gibson_flying_v.jpg[/img] I'm going to get disagrees I know it. :smith:

[QUOTE=mynames2long;25846404]I don't know about you, but I value beauty before originality and that's fucking ugly[/QUOTE] Agreed, Rickenbackers look terrible to me. Only good shape from them imo is this one: [img]http://www.gear-vault.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/rickenbacker-4003.jpg[/img] I don't even know why, I feel like I shouldn't like it, but I do

the two guitars above me are two of the best looking and most historically important shapes EVER

pardon the atrocious shop but this is what I was talking about with that fender from a few pages back [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8598216/fender-blacktop-jazzmaster-hs-storypic.jpg[/img]

That's just disgusting. It looks like an offset waist SG having met a beltsander.

Dear god what is that monstrosity?

lol fuck you guys I think it looks cool
