Looking for a new guitar.[views:4053][posts:14]___________________________________ [May 11,2006 10:44am - SteveOTB ""] I've been looking into getting a new guitar. I used to have a BC Rich Warlock which sucked and I had an Epiphone SG series which wasn't that much better but I smashed it because the thing was unrepairable. I'm not a novice but I'm not an amazing guitarist either. I guess I'm looking for a decent guitar that's reasonably priced for someone who isn't that experienced with playing. Anyone got any ideas? |

I can tell you that low end Ibanez's, LTD's and BC Rich's are no good and wont hold up over time. Myself personally, I have lots of guitars but the ones I use the most are my Epiphone Les Paul Customs. They play great, they durable as hell, and with a simple pick up swap you have a guitar that will sound like a 3,000 Gibson for a fraction of the price. I would stay away from new Jacksons now that Fender owns them and rapes them IMO. |
