Guitars

[fletcher]

Can't decide so any help would be appreciated

[wiiiiilllll]

what guitar do you already have? the dude in my brothers band plays a fender strat and it sounds rad. looks cool too

[fletcher]

Yeah i have a mexican style fender stratocaster.

[wiiiiilllll]

get another one then...have 2 strats. then you can phone all your friends and say.. "hi, i have 2 strats"

[tomcat360]

finally somebodys talkin about guitars....yea ive got a strat as well, but sometimes im lookin for that chunky LP tone as well. what styles are you into?

oo how i love my fender

[fletcher]

Yeah i mostly play heavy metal
Lots off tracks from metallica, acdc, iron maiden
and other stuff like that.

[tomcat360]

yeah a les paul would probably match that pretty good. the prices are ridiculus though

[temptations_wings]

If your into the whole metal thing, an ibanez should do the trick. The RG series is pretty decent, but on some of the lower end models your going to have to do some tweaking of the electronics to get a really good sound. Gibsons work well with the ACDC kinda stuff but if you want a more defined crunch, you might find you have a hard time getting that. A les paul's tone is a bit fatter and looser, where as the ibanez is tighter and more defined when the distortion really starts to pump. The other consideration is your amp. The amp will make or break your tone. Thats just my two cents…

I just sold a PRS. Now ive just got a fender. Maybe someday i'll get a les paul or an SG

[tomcat360]

what model PRS? ive been in love with the mccarty since the day i played my first. of course i could buy a car for the money i would put on that guitar.

[gulfsurfer]

Oh its a Santana SE, i cant afford one of their really really nice models. But that guitar still played really good for not being a really expensive guitar.

FENDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't go cheap, get the gibson, awesome sound and definitely a guitar that will last forever, i play my dads from when he was a kid and it sounds a thousand times better than the new fenders everyone gets.

[surferdude_scarborough]

defo go for a gibson! ive got an SG n it sounds n plays way better than any fender ive ever played!

[fletcher]

Yeah i was thinking a sg for the next guitar still not quite sure though

[gulfsurfer]

have u seen the angus young SG?
its a pretty sweet guitar.

[fletcher]

Yeah that sounds like the one for me


acdc are pretty xxxxx hot

[meister]

hmm gibson and fender are both pretty good ... my choice would be a paul reed smith ... and if youre getting a 7-string definitely go with the ibanez!

Hey does anybody have any thoughts on Squier (By Fender) Strats?

They look the same as normal strats, pretty much... but i can by one in a pack with amp and accessories at the store for 670 bucks Australian Dolalrs), and on sale it should be 560 or less, fact.


So yeah it sounds like a good deal and ive played one before but yeah i wanna move on from acoustic and get the real deal:D
