played lots of new gear today...

[firedancer86]

well I went in to pick up some poly's when I saw a revoiced Taylor 710!!!

Picked it up and man! GOODBYE MARTIN!!!
I wanted to plug it in, but I had other things to do...

then I picked up a $3,500 Martin...bleh...it put out LESS sound than the new 710, and was clumbsy feeling...

then I went on to the elctric play area, and saw a LINE 6 Variax (the ones withthe new digital pickups)... AMAZING ...I have a new electric to recomend...there are like 50 distinct tones and pickup types for the TELE, STRAT, LP, BANJO, JAZZ, RESONATOR, SITAR...and especially for the price tag of $999.99!!!

I played that Line 6 through a $1000 Line 6 electric amp monster!!! That is what I would buy if I played out with my LP more often...amazing controls and sound...just astounding


anywho, so it was a cool day...I wish I could spend hours and hours there though 8)

i havent tried out a guitar in ages, i have no plans to buy a new one, maybe ill try out a few when im back out in rochester

[DreaminBassMunky]

Yeah Line 6 are bad ass amps. I wish I had one.

[fatjack]

Yeah Line 6 are bad ass amps. I wish I had one.

i have a spider 112 . that variax would be awesome to have fire, but i can only dream right now

OUCH, that was below the belt. What a ruthless attack toward Martin.

Thats what makes the world go round though


Long live Martin

opinions and reviews are below the belt?
guess politicaly correct comes into play with guitars now too

[DreaminBassMunky]

I have yet to try out a Martin or a Taylor, but I guess people feel really strongly one way or the other.

[isaac]

heh. i just bought the guitar that i fell in love with when i played. and at that time, that happened to be a taylor.

[DreaminBassMunky]

Yeah that's my plan. Once I have some cash.

[Ando]

I have yet to try out a Martin or a Taylor, but I guess people feel really strongly one way or the other.

I've yet to play any expensive ones.

[NoNotThat]

I have yet to play any other besides mine, that shitty one that my chorus teacher had, a classical, and that one that came out of the dumpster...i love my guitar.

[DMBFan63]

Heh dmbfreak, how do you NOT wanna buy a new guitar?Thats like every guitarists fantasy, getting a brand new guitar, with the nice new crisp guitar smell nicely polished and all.. just amazing.. next year when my lazy ass gets a job i'm gettin myself a nice taylor or martin :-d

[Ando]

I wish i could have a new everything

[i-am-me]

Don't we all... I wish i could get a new guitar too. But i don't really need one. I would definetly get a taylor too

[gcom007]

I tried all that line 6 crap a couple days ago. Screw it...it still doesn't sound as good as the real thing and unless you're an ultra ADHD guitarist, you don't need to sound like a million different guitars. that variax just sounded cheap and I can't stand the way there amps are set up. Same with this pod thing...I just picked up the new pod xt and it's definitely going back. it sounds pretty good when you're recording at getting all those sounds, but for the most part, it's just cheesy and difficult to use. I bought a fender custom shop strat today, I'm happy.
