dont know about guitars just pasting some that look nice |
Iamthe Nightstars
08.13.12 | These are all pretty much average/beginner guitars. If it's a new guitar you're getting and you have 3 grand you might as well spend more money and get something that sounds really good and lasts longer. |
jrm96
08.13.12 | that one acually pretty rad viper |
Emyay
08.13.12 | i'm like macadoolahicky. all i have is my lefty ibanez gio. put some seymour duncans in it. made a hell of a difference, but yeah other than that, its a shitty guit. |
ViperAces
08.13.12 | Yea but its probably just the looks, a 100$ worth of guitar cant be that good. |
Trebor.
08.13.12 | Not a fan of schecter
gibson les paul can't go wrong |
eternium
08.13.12 | I'm not going to spend more than $500 on a guitar since I need most of that money for gas and shit the next few months. Cheap guitars can sound just fine and it doesn't mean that they're bad. It's not like I'm getting a Squire. |
Trebor.
08.13.12 | epiphone les paul
yeah your amp and pickups are way more important anyway |
ViperAces
08.13.12 | What is your old guitar? |
eternium
08.13.12 | These are all better than Epiphones. |
Trebor.
08.13.12 | fak you |
eternium
08.13.12 | "What is your old guitar?"
One of these things that I got for $200 about six years ago (I was 13). I put Duncans in it a couple of years later and it sounds decent.. for a basswood guitar.

Trebor.
08.13.12 | Finding good drummers with good taste is hard oh man finding anyone with chops and good taste is impossible they all want to play metalcore and shit and djent gay stuff yeah |
eternium
08.13.12 | Basically.
I wonder what kind of pickups would also be good. I know Neurosis uses Duncan distortions. |
eternium
08.13.12 | I could just take the pickups out of my current guitar and put them in the new one.. I want to keep the covers though. |
Shuyin
08.13.12 | nice! im starting to learn right now m/
prolly gonna get my own guitar soon, im practicing at a friends house |

08.13.12 | Redsky or someone else useful needs to see this. |
liledman
08.13.12 | To a large extent, it's about how you use your gear. You can get "heavy" sounds and shoegaze sounds out of a pretty basic set-up, you just need to know what you are doing with it.
My advice, get whatever les paul copy you want, as long as it's in good condition. Play it a bit first, and see whether you are happy with the pick-ups. If not, chuck in whatever Duncans you feel suit you. EMGs and other active pick-ups can be severely limiting, so be careful choosing.
I have an Ibanez ARC100 with Duncans (JB + Jazz) and it's pretty damn good for the cheap guitar it is. Better than my friends $3000 Les Paul Custom, by my account and his. |
liledman
08.13.12 | Oh and "shoegaze sound"...
Try running a short(er) delay with moderate repeats through a reverse delay with the time set quite short (or just a reverse delay with the time as short as possible).
Add overdrive/fuzz to taste. |

08.13.12 | "Better than my friends $3000 Les Paul Custom, by my account and his."
les paul stopped being good a long time ago, idk why you would ever drop 3k on one of those piles of shit |
eternium
08.13.12 | If I changed pickups would I be able to keep the covers on the new ones? I want to keep them on because it looks a lot better than with the actual black humbuckers themselves, which I sometimes see on guitars people changed pickups on.
I don't know if that makes sense or not. |
eternium
08.13.12 | "Try running a short(er) delay with moderate repeats through a reverse delay with the time set quite short (or just a reverse delay with the time as short as possible)."
Sounds like I could do this with the RV-3 plus the Carbon Copy if I get one. I really like the thicker shoegaze sound that Lovesliescrushing and Medicine gets. |
liledman
08.13.12 | As long as the covers fit the humbuckers, yes.
Hype I've never played a Les Paul I liked, it always amazes me that people fork out so much for them (though we do get continually ripped off in Australia). |
eternium
08.13.12 | So I guess I should go for the first guitar. |
Hyperion1001
08.13.12 | im in the same boat, i have never played a single good les paul
now my buddy just dropped 2200 on a PRS custom and oh my god, its like playing on silk clouds |
liledman
08.13.12 | mmm PRS.
A friend of mine bought the semi-hollow model... holy shit it is nice. Silk clouds indeed. |
BlueW
08.13.12 | Buy a fender and some nice amps |
BlueW
08.13.12 | I run a Telecaster 72 Deluxe Reissue, I can't tell you how much it rules. It's tone is close in range to that of a Gibson Les Paul with a Fender twang. |
R6Rider
08.13.12 | Go check out the Regius models over at Mayones guitars.
I would get one of those. Expensive, but top notch. |
oWhoadYo
08.13.12 | I play a Stratocaster with Billy Corgan dimarzio pickups in it A lot. I also play an Epiphone SG with Dimarzio super distortions in it and an Eastwood Hi-Flyr. All three are excellent guitars. My amp is a Laney AOR 50, pro tube lead head. It has to be one of the distorted amps on the planet. It's absolutely insane how much gain there is. It's also got Hi, Mid and bass boost push/pulls on it. Truly an awesome amp. Despite it's Insane gain channel, it has some beautiful sparkly cleans with tons of headroom. I'd look for one of those. It's crazy. |
BlueW
08.13.12 | What genres do you play with that laney?
I'm trying t save up to buy an amp, so far it seems like I'll be going Science Hellhawk or an Orange variant. |
eternium
08.13.12 | If I got a Fender it would either be that Telecaster or a Jaguar. |
BlueW
08.13.12 | Yeah man I highly recommend it |
eternium
08.13.12 | Too much money, man. |
oWhoadYo
08.13.12 | I play A lot of different stuff really. I play Alt. Rock, Stoner Doom Metal, Sludge Metal, Shoegaze, Stoner Rock, Grunge, Drone, Post - Punk and Alt. Metal. To be honest, it does it all flawlessly. It suits my band perfectly. We primarily Play Really Distorted Fuzzed out Alternative Sludge Metal/Rock with Shoegaze and Stoner/Psychedelic elements. |

08.13.12 | Nigga, you don't have to capitalize everything. |

08.13.12 | I've been playing guitar for most of my life and I'm still pretty ignorant to most things that everyone else who plays seems to already know. |

R6Rider
08.13.12 | Or you could get an Engl Fireball for $1700 and an ESP LTD Eclipse for about $800.
I own an Engl Powerball 2 and ESP Eclipse with EMG's and the sound is just massive. |
bloc
08.13.12 | 1 3 and 5 are fuckin' nice.
For Teles, I have one of the new models, the American Special. Claimed to be made in America but it doesn't have the price that comes with one. Comes with Texas Special single coils too. Alnico 5's so they're not weak, but not super hot either. Best guitar I've ever played really. |
Imperial
08.13.12 | The new models of the fender telecaster are great and only like $500. They play beautifully. |
jdennis31
08.13.12 | i just bought this a month back and threw in some p90s and it sounds amazing. not really the heavy sound you're looking for, but i'd imagine you could emulate it with some more suitable pick ups. had them fix up the action before i bought it, and it plays great. i tap alot and this guitar made it really simple. http://www.music123.com/guitars/fender-classic-series-72-telecaster-thinline-electric-guitar |

08.13.12 | i guess it was on sale when i bought it, cause it was only 700 |

I like dis guy
Not too big on the LTD/ESP neck shapes. Their thin U shape is just way too thin. |
DanielNightLewis
04.12.13 | I don't know shit about guitars but Magrudergrind are cool. I like their split with Shitstorm |
ChuckyTruant
04.12.13 | Well I started with an Alvarez acoustic and then an Ibanez and they both are thinner than ESP/LTD necks. But anyway yeah the LTD necks are most comfortable to me |
