uh oh, got a new mistress
 

She demands lots of attention ;)
I've been looking at guitars for months now and finally pulled the trigger yesterday, not an easy decision though. I was considering a cheaper epiphone les paul/SG and putting in EMG 81/85 pickups but after playing on an epi for a while I just wanted something built better. Very happy though, it plays like a dream...a very expensive dream.

Old epiphone les paul special 2 this guitar went for $400 back in 1999, now it sells for $150, amazing beginer guitar though.

Between yesterday and today, I haven't gotten anything done :l

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

sorry to hate, but gibsons are hyped up peices of ----, crafted in japan fenders, wolfgangs and charvels are the hotness. I have played oen gibson i like, and thats the jimmy page and its 10 grand, ---- that.

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

And if you want a good amp, look for old peavy ultra 120's. I sold my DSL 100 when I got mine.

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

I love gibsons. there is a lot of hype though, once we got wheelin and dealin I hardley paid anything for it, less than 1/2 the list price, so that says a lot right there. For an amp I'm using a line 6 spider 2, not bad, but the tones fit most of the styles I play.

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

I think there are different tones to each guitar. Fenders sound a little more bright to me and the gibson's always seem a little more smokey if that makes any sense. I love the Les Paul Im jeleous.

That thing is sex with strings. and I mean the good kind

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

Very nice!

I play a Epiphone Les Paul that I bought almost 10 years ago now. Great guitar.

How much did the Gibson set you back?

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

What did you pay if you don't mind me asking

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

I had some neck problems w/mine but way better than my first guitar, a fender knock off thats made of compressed sawdust and glue.

Just the guitar was 630. List price was 1400 but anyone whos shopped at guitar center know list doesn't mean anything. zzounds sells it for 1270.00

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

once you go bass you never go back.

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

love the guitar man :y

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

word. i love the bass hardly ever pick up the guitar unless im playing by my self.
i like Ibanez personaly but that is for bass. i stick with fender for my electrical guitar and have a fender acoustic electric, its blue i like it.

congrats on the new guitar. when i bought my latest one i was thriled. happy for a month, hell 3 years later still am. nothing like upgrading to a better guitar. sometimes not worth 600. but who cares.

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

LOL, yeah right. Bass is boring. Real men play with 6 strings :-*

Ive got two guitars, a crapbox 1964 Teisco Del Rey:

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

Gave up playing electric. Acoustic for me.

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

I'm playing some Lucero right now, man they rock!

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

???

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

this thread trully gets me siked i didnt know there was anyone that still liked guitar music and rock, thought the whole world was hiphop and techno

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

i hope not.
i love rock and all variances of music. but the only music i enjoy playing is rock and metal, not that i dont play other music.

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

What don't you understand?

Half price on that guitar, still puts a little dent in your bank account, unless you're baller status. He got a good deal, but 600 bucks is still 600 bucks.

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

the fact that he said it was a very expensive dream, but then restated that he barely paid anything for it when someone said it wasnt that great of a guitar :-\

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

I first started on a electic but now I'm all acoustic. My buddy told me I could have some guitar at his house that someone left at his house and didn't want it and didn't know what kind it was besides and acoustic. I'm like hell, any free guitar is cool with me...cheesy or good. Turned out it was a $400 LaPatrie classical guitar. It had nylon strings and was never really keen on them but after about an hour of playing with it. It just felt right and to this day it's the only guitar I play with. Gotta love free ----. I bought a Ovation but gave it to my dad since he really liked it. I also have a old japanese made hollowbody that is really beat up that I got for like 40 bucks at a local pawn shop. It's probably worth less but I just liked how it looked and it's mad jDm so I couldn't pass it up! lol. I've had a little bit of everything from a lap guitar to a Deering banjo. I still want a violin to mess around with. I guess I'm more of a acoustic kind of guy. Your axe is pretty nice but my guitar skills aren't that good to spend that much on something really nice like that. I miss playing with a band but my friends don't really like the music I like and I'm not into playing hard ----.

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

I prolly could of worded that better. I did get it for a good price but truth is, I don't like spending $$ :-\ I have a strong jew side. And because someone says it isn't good means it isn't? Different guitars have different sounds to fit diferent styles all dependant on the person playing it.

Re: uh oh, got a new mistress
 

same here :y lol
