You want electric/acoustic, i.e. an acoustic with a pickup, or just either or.

Honestly get both, a cheap ass yamaha travel acoustic will have the nice fat action and thick strings you'll want to build hand strength. Play everything super clean on that, then get a sweet score from a pawn shop/used guitar dealer.

I found an 80's Jackson Soloist for $250 at a local pawnshop. It was ------- silver-purple with a glazed metal finish, Seymore Dunc's up front and a single EMG old style humbucker (screwface) in the rear, I re-wound it when I got it.

Sold that fucker for $600

I rock a beat up Ibanez Gio with seymore duncan's and thin nickel steel Dean Markley strings...it's basically a gibson style knock off, but I've lowered the strings down ultra close to the fret board and reworked the neck and mounting point to get an ultra-fast and smooth action out of it. It works for now until I can afford an Ibanez Jem. :P

---- that ----, that thing looks like a clusterfuck. Not to mention the price is pretty lame, I'm a cheap ass. Once you get past like $600-800 guitars they all sound ------- good, so it's just superfluous decadence tacked on.

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.


Nice, so it seems either way I go I'll have to spend a little extra money to get started but should be good for a while until I actually get good.


Yeah it seems like a lot of my threads "accidentally" get erased... ::)

Werd, but don't be knocking the newer Martin's, this was the first guitar I bought and it's ------- awesome...

Id recommend this to anybody looking for a good acoustic/electric guitar that isn't too spendy. I paid $650 for it brand new at guitar center.

I just sold a bunch of my guitars...damn bills. I'm left with a Hofner only available in Germany and a La Petrie classical guitars. Then a no name old Japanese hollowbody and an old 40's radio turned into a amp with a homemade suitcase cabinet with 2 8" Jensen mod speakers. I've had Fender Strats, teles and a Gibson Melody Maker and i'm always leftover with this ------- guitar.

I rock a Johnson acoustic (after replacing my last one after a ---- face took it :7) and my brother has a Gibson Monarch or something like that. I can't play for ----. Was determined I would after picking up another one, but still haven't. I'll do it some day. Picked up a keyboard I have yet to learn also.
