You can't go wrong with the Strat baby! :winkwink:

I say stratocastor , that one is sweet :)

Fender strats are always the way to go for quality, unless you want a flashy designed one

uhm, judging your topic I would say: buy the cheapest and go practise a lot first.

The guitar you want to buy, should depend on what kind of sound you want, what kind of music style you play, what kind of amplifier you use, your budget, etc, etc.

your sound will be a combination of your guitar (body, pickups, snairs), your amplifier / head and even the cables you're using.

I agree. It all depends on what kind of tone you are looking for......

i hate strats. what kind of music are you playing? check out www.espguitars.com for some cool guitars

I like the SG :Graucho

My bands name is Miller, and we play music like Thursday, Thrice Alexis On Fire ect. We're a screamo, emo, hardcore band. So we're gonna have very technical crazy guitar, bass and drum parts.

The tone is much different than a strat. It's a little heavier :2 cents:

You should check out Tom morello EXTREMELY technical......

jackson guitars are also good, and endorsed by jenna :winkwink:

I have bought a few guitars from this guy: http://www.chrisguitars.com he's always got a great assortment of stuff, and has no problem giving you a return if you don't like something you get from him. I check out his site every day to see whats new, sometimes a real gem pops up and I pounce on it.

From Rage and Audioslave?

wanktank,

first get your facts straight, Thursday isn't emo, screamo or hardcore (musicwise). For some real good emo/screamo listen to "Closure" or "Frail". I probably would label Thursday "indie" with a metal touch.

second, that kind of music isn't really "technical", better take bands as Converge or Dillinger Escape Plan for influence there :)

I would suggest you just go spitting through all your cd's and see what sound definitly makes you want to kill, try to find out the gear the guy's playing on and go for that sound :).

Ow, and I don't know if you guys consider yourself hardcore in any way, otherwise there isn't another option than to go for the Gibson SG.

I play a B.C.Rich P7 series warlock, its a great guitar for what I play, or should i say attempt to play, heh.

good advice...

IMHO you can't beat a Gibson Les Paul... awesome sound. A friend of mine has severeal but the 1976 Les Paul Original has the sweetest sound !!

and you need a decent stack to go with it...

My brother plays guitar. Has about 4. He likes Fender.

One of his guitars was given to him by my uncle. Its worth around £8000 its a 12 string guitar. Quite nice.

you should get this if you can afford it. My brother swears by this thing. Its one of the most expensive amps around. He got his last year!

BC Rich Warlock. Marshal Full stack :thumbsup

dude, thursday are an emo band.
i will check out those bands, because since i have gotten into this kinda music, its all i listen to.
thanks for the :2 cents:

Thats sucha beauty.
Thats the dude from Slipknot, right?
I may be wrong.
I love Bc Rich's Designs, their so sweet.
How much did that warlock cost you?

Heh a few months ago I was gonna buy one.. however once I felt it .. it just wansnt right, the sound wasnt what I wanted. However same day.. I came upon an Ibanez.. omg I love them.

Cost almost the same as well [$800 :/]
Ibanez or Strato.. :thumbsup

:GFYband

Don't waist your money :winkwink:

Go to a music store and play a few of each..... I am a Les-Paul guy myself but over the years I have owned about every brand of guitar out there... they ALL got good points and bad ones.... Just have to find one that "FEELS" right to you! :thumbsup

I have a Jackson randy rhoads model, and a B.C. Rich Warlock, but I suggest Paul Reed Smith. They sound beautiful and don't cost a lot.

personally i like a strat, but i do have a few

check out this guitar if your looking for acoustic this may be the way to go

please dont buy a BC Rich, i worked at a music store for 3 years and i can tell ya they suck!! true ,Slayer and many other sick metal bands play them but they still suck. ESP is good for metal and so is Ibanez!:thumbsup

Maybe an Ibanez for screamo...
decent metal sound... terrible for everything else.

Thats a sexy amp :Graucho

I'm in Canada and starts are $400, never seen one over 500.
and thats CAN

Anyone possibly selling a guitar?
shipping would be expensive, but for a good price it may be worth it.
