Members bmxdave Posted February 11, 2006 Members Share Posted February 11, 2006 Dammit. You bastards spending $800 on your FIRST guitar just pisses me off. Will he have anything left for an amp, chords, strap and pedals? There are so many to choose from. Take him to a GC (no, you don't have to buy it there. I wouldn't) since they usually have the most on display. Whatever he thinks looks the coolest and feels comfortable is the one he should get. Any guitar you can't walk by without resisting picking up and playing is a good guitar for a beginner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plugs his electric acoustice into some type of effects. I heard a recording and thought he was going for an Ac30 sound. too bad his amp fund is about 300 bucks.

Everyone needs a practice amp. Then you need the high power amp for rehearsal/gigging if thats part of the plan. I don't even want to get started on this.

A vox valvetronix practice amp wouldn't be bad, but if you can convince him to flip around the amp/guitar price ranges i think he could swing a voc ac15 custom classic and some kind of decent guitar in the 300$ range. That would rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bmxdave Posted February 11, 2006 Members Share Posted February 11, 2006 Originally posted by ThunderDump He has a 15 watt crate practice amp OK. Thats out of the way. If he's a good enough player already or a fast learner he should set some of those greenbacks aside for the bigger amp he'll be wanting. IMO stick with the basics on the amp. Theres a lot of gimmickry out there with built in effects and amp modeling built in. Keep that to a minimum. some modeling is ok IMO. Others will disagree. Whatever. Basically, whatever he gets he'll be unsatisfied with within a year for either real, imagined or aesthetic reasons. So he'll buy more stuff. Then more. And more. 10 years later he'll wish he still had that first guitar or it will become his favorite. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lucas S. Posted February 11, 2006 Members Share Posted February 11, 2006 Originally posted by markas214 SG Classic with p90s is $849 shipped from Musicians Friend. This would be a good choice. I would alro look at some lower end les pauls. Tele's and jazzmasters are very popular in indie rock as well. I have a lot of guitars and if I was going to start an Indie band I would use primarily my '72 reissue Custom tele and my Gretsch Beast Lucas S. P.S. I wouldn't go near a ESP or LTD for indie rock. Just my opinion, nothing personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitar_played Posted February 11, 2006 Members Share Posted February 11, 2006 Originally posted by bmxdave I like the way you think. When I bought my first electric/amp i was also working with a big(ish) budget for a begginner (2 1/2 years of acoustic playing waiting for the right time to plug in ) and put the priority on the amp. Of course, i fell in love with a guitar that was 300$ more than I wanted to spend and lost 300$ in amp money, so the lesson is if you want to spend 400$ on the guitar, don't play the 700$ guitars I'll repeat my advice, the AC15CC is likely great valu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
