Guitar players..!

[invision]

ive been playing guitar for 14 years i have played many guitars and hands down the best guitar for price is Epiphone, the Lespaul standards and studio's have the all around best sound for almost all types of music.

i have a Epiphone Dot Deluxe this guitar was 599.99 and sounds better than most guitars for $1000.00 aside from gibson guitars.

I'm just sitting thinking and thinking not getting anywhere. :rolleyes: I was looking at http://www.americanmusical.com and i thought http://www.americanmusical.com/item--i-DRI-WILDX2GTR-RD--m-02_46_108.html looked nice.

for starters
what funyons said
a fender squire

[Nochowderforyou]

get a telecaster. not very many people have them and they are the shit.(for classic rock and blues anyway)

Jim Root from Stone Sour/Slipknot plays a Tele., and they are mad as fuck heavy!

my friend has a 50s reissue in white and its lite as shit and other friend has a the same 50s reissue tele in sunburst and the sunburst is about 5 pounds heavier haha

nothing is as heavy as a les p though

GET A STRAT I JUST GOT MY 2ND STRAT RED WITH MAPLE NECK ITS HOT ACTION BOUT TO THROW SOME FUCKING LACE SENSOR GOLD/REDS IN IT

[Nochowderforyou]

Yes, Les Pauls are very heavy. I find them too big and too hard to play.

My Fender S-65 is the same size and basically shape as the Epi SG, just a few minor changes, and it is light as fuck! I love it.

I'm even finding my Strat harder to play now for some reason. It's also a big bodied guitar.

I find Les Pauls too big aswell...they seem more like a blues style guitar to me....although they do sound awsome when playing heavy shit. They are nice guitars..

I agree don't buy any old one online...go into the shop try different ones.

So what music are you wanting to play?
Or are you just looking for an alround nice guitar?

Add me to the Epiphone Les Paul list; I've had one for some years, never get tired of it. Having played Gibsons too, I think The Epiphone is a better bargain. Bought mine used for $186.00, has a nice flamey top and good bloom to the tone.

If you can actually see what's in my avatar, there are the others I own (as of about 2 years ago) A few are gone; the Tele, one of the Strats, and I've added a couple of Ravens (lots of bang for the buck) and an Alvarez classical.

If you want to get the most out of your guitars, I suggest you learn as much as you can about setting one up properly.

if its acoustic...i like the acoustic electric just in case you want to be plugged. I'd go for the takamine, yamaha or ibanez....great picks. If you want electric, I myself have an epiphone with a holllow body and it plays beautifully for blues. Fender is always a great buy but pricey. My next guitar is going to be fender, i hope. Epiphone's hollow or solid body are great. If its metal than go for jackson, no other way... Hope i could be of some help.
