Looking for a new guitar

Unread post by chuck_d14 » Sat May 10, 2003 5:43 pm

I am looking to buy a new guitar and was wondering if anybody has a suggestion on what to buy. I started playing a year ago when somebody taught me "crash" and i haven't put my old shitty fender down since. Now that I am a serioius player i was hoping for some advice

Buy what you like and what's in your budget. Some favourite brands

Taylor, Martin, Takamine, Larrivee, Lakewood

play everything and pick the one you like the best....

Good advice Cave , instead of always promiting brands , its better to play whats in your budget range , and the tone you like , don't just buy the first guitar you try out , try several and buy the one YOU like best :)

Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it.

dont buy on impulse. i spent 6 months looking for an electric. i ended up buying a brand hardly anyone in the states knows about thats better than what people are used to. youre always gonna find someone who doesnt like what you get, but as long as you do, dont care about what others think.

yea seriously, you can sit there and decide everything that you want or dont want in a guitar.... but when it comes down to it you gotta sit down and just play, and buy whichever one feels the best, that you can afford... then youll be the happiest with your purchase
