guitar thread
 

So not sure how it happened but before I could hit post someone deleted teh guitar thread so here goes anyway.

I rock an epiphone. the cheap ass CDM version of Gibson giutars and honestly. its hands down the best guitar ive ever played. It cost abotu 2300 bucks brand new with a little 15 watt amp and removeable tattoos but the action is fast as ----, so I decided to pull some of the crappy CDM ---- out and put hot pick ups in it. now it screams it ass off with a semor duncan hotrail and a DOD death metal pedal through a laney 80 watt.

you want good fast cheap action go get you a cheap ass gibson or fender and swap out the pickups. that semor ducan was like 150 i think 200 installed at the shop and that was like a good 8-10 years ago but seriousl I have had folks put down ibanezs and Paul reed smiths to play my shitty ass epiphone.

Look for maple not rosewood on the fret board.

So there to whomever got their guitar thread deleted.

That was my bad, I was gonna reply but clicked the wrong button. Ghetto can revive it.

I rock a peavey predator, which is a strat clone, which I love the action is good and the fret board is super smooth not rough like some guitars, this was like 200$ 10 years ago. I also have a takamine acoustic electric which I love. It was about $600 and sounds better than anything I can find under 1200. Both really good deals and awesome guitars.

Re: guitar thread
 

I love takamine and of course martins.

not that new bullshit either. old skool martins, the sound is just ....i dunno....better. hopefully I will get my grandpas one day. its an orginal i think from the 60's.

he ---- the first time i snatched it up drop D tuned it and started playing slayer. then he wanted me to show him how to do it. it was cool teaching my grandpa how to play seasons in the abyss or whatever it was.

I play junky bass guitars a couple johnsons and some cdm units. Hopefully this year going to spend some actual cash on some quality stuff. boo

Re: guitar thread
 

we have 2 squires, and an ibanez and about 4 random acoustics. also have a memphis bass, never heard of them but it sounds decent, and i have a homemade acoustic bass. O0

Re: guitar thread
 

So, what's a good electric and acoustic starting guitar that's not a huge investment and you can grow with? I don't want a cheap POS that I'll get tired of or will crap out quickly or sounds like crap, but I don't want to spend hundreds more on something that only plays slightly better, if any.

Re: guitar thread
 

honestly the pickups make teh guitar. as long as its a decent quiality wood any pick up can make it sound better. I would reccoment getting a nice cheap squire or epiphone (pick your flavor) and toss a pick up and a decent amp behind it. total investment like 500. 300 for guitar and 200 for pickup.

DOnt clown the stickers cause i did that like in 97.

Man those stickers ruin the guitar :o

Re: guitar thread
 

I started doing that when i was like 12 when i got it. I sorta got carried away and now its a thing. the guitar is a 200 POS as far as to look at. the stickers couldnt have hurt lol. I think it would be different if it was a real strat or possibly a name brand gibson but meh. I dig it.
