![]() right now i have a strat knock off that i've had for about 8 years. i've already owned an Ibanez rg 470 and didn't like it because the floating trem made the string action real loose. and a couple of mexican strats, which were good, but never impressed me enough to keep.
My friend hasa real nice Ibanez SA160, and that plays nice as fuck. so what's out there? i really haven't been in a guitar store for a couple years. i don't think i want another fender....so what do you guys have? and what would you reccomend?

I don't understand why people are so obsessed with guitars. 90% of your tone comes from your amp. Plug a 1959 Les Paul into a Peavey POS and he'll sound like crap. Plug an average Strat copy into a vintage plexi, crank it up, and it'll siiiiing...

Look in esp (or ltd which is the base model) or prs guitars. Im into heavy music so im biased. Those come with nice active pickups so you dont really need many mods to the guitar unless you want nicer pickups (emgs?). Im a sucker for a solid body guitar with active electronics plugged into a high quality tube driven amp.

PRS in my opinion. I love them. Goatse is right though. Find a guitar that you like to play and then find the right amp for what you want to do.

I bang away on the real Gibson Explorers you cant beat for metal or alot of other types of music.
I run Crate heads and marshal stacks mostly but you cant touch the electronics of line6!!

You've got to consider a lot in a guitar .. the tone wood, the pickup, the bridge etc. A misaligned truss, fretware, bridge too high or too low can greatly affect your tone. Personally I can't recommend any type of guitar. I feel the instrument is very personal. You just have to go into a shop and find one that suits you. I usually spend 2-3 months shopping for a new guitar before I find one that's just right. The same is true for the amp. |

there are many good guitars, and it depends on what sort of sound you are interested in.
truth is the solid body electric guitar is mostly about electronics and neck action. if you want a guitar with some flavor you must go acoustic. the best guitars are mostly hand made, and just sound good, without amplification. if you are interested in music (and resale value) look at martin and gibson. a more unique sound comes from physics, like ovation, etc. if the interest is in noise anything electronic will do. mostly play a bunch of guitars in a quiet room, and listen to them, check the neck action, listens for burrs, rough spots, dead spots, how long you can hear a note, etc. a good guitar should be easy to play, should work well with capo without burring, and should have a straight neck. sight down the neck and check for bow before buying. in the end, let the sound be your guide. |

Acoustic: Yamaha FG-430a AMPS: Peavey audition 110, '72 all tube Traynor 2 x 12 and I use the line6 Pod as a head. while amp selection is important, I feel guitar selection is MUCH more important, your choice of wood, pickups tuners bridge types, strings all come together to make up your guitars overall tone. Some guitars like Parker guitars even offer a peizo element to get acoustic tones out of your electric guitar. It also depends on how much money your willing to spend. For a higher end guitar I'd go with Gibson Les Paul or a Parker Fly (Both VERY different guitars but both VERY nice) www.parkerguitars.com for Ken Parker guitars I love my Parker but I might be selling it to buy other things and free up some space. http://parker.daltech.ca has some pictures (doesn?t do justice) and a deeper description. If you're interested hit me up on the IMs or email me admin at Supremenames dot com GL on getting that new axe ![]()

I also suggest looking at buying used (but not abused)
guitars tonal characteristics come out with age. you'll find buying a played in guitar much more enjoyable. but like latinasojourn said, you just have to play them and let the sound be your guide

I'm a BC Rich Warlock fanatic (the death/thrash metaller in me)
I like the tone of them and they are a decent budget-priced guitar as well.... you also have to take into consideration if you're a serious player or a hobbyist or a collector...the answers to those questions will change the asnwer of which guitar to get I'm a marshall fan when it comes to amps and agree with spending a little extra on a quality amp...although, again, that should be based upon what level you're playing at...
