i've played a few rondomusic.com specials and they've all been much better than a Squire for less. I'd start there for something just to dick around with.

don't get a rondo music guitar with a tremolo. they have licenced floyds, but their other guitars are decent. The necks aren't great but whatever, you're still just learning.

i like that rg570 you linked on the last page, dont think ill be biting within the next day though

yeah the best thing you can do is look around for a while. or just go to a guitar store and let the guy trick you into buying something

Nice. I have an acoustic guitar that I never play and I have an electric tuner for it. But you don't need the acoustic.

for the Ibanez guitars

what's the significance of the number after the series abbr.

like for RG you say x50 and x70 just meant faceplate

but what about the x...ive seen some that are like RG1-- and 3-- or whatever


ha what about an Iceman?

judging by the prices im seeing on others, it looks like it might not be that great

go to sam ash or guitar center and actually try out a couple
build quality is important, but fit and feel are too. there's no point in buying a guitar that's uncomfortable to play

i got a brand new mexican strat today in goldsboro

so far so good, its very comfortable. the guy that sold it to me at the store played it in front of me so i am aware what it's capable of...sounds really good

got a cheap-o 10 watt marshall amp with it, works for what im trying to do w/ it

10/18/2008 11:38:23 PM

the new squier classic vibe series guitars are as good if not better than the MIM fenders for $300 a pop

i've already got one and i'm thinking about a second

10/19/2008 4:30:13 AM

buy something used for cheap

10/19/2008 9:38:07 AM

^^^ good deal man are you going to take lessons or just learn on your own or what?

10/19/2008 11:21:03 AM

i can tell its been forever since i plucked my old acoustic...my fingertips are killin me after practicing some chord diagrams for 4 hours last night lol

first, im just going to get a feel for it, but ill ultimately find someone up here that teaches lessons

word. good luck

if eventually through practice and dedication you can sound good on a squire, then yes you take your hobby seriously and should look into getting an upgrade. but until then...
