Members dkerwood Posted June 17, 2012 Members Share Posted June 17, 2012 Looking for a new guitar to replace my Epi LP, Mexi Strat, P90 equipped SG, and Ibanez hollow body. No Line 6. Looking at a Les Paul Trad Pro due to its coil splitting capabilities, but I'm open to ideas. Versatility is a plus. $2000 top budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mhuxtable Posted June 17, 2012 Members Share Posted June 17, 2012 I don't think you're gonna cover all those bases with just ONE guitar. But I'd look at either a LP style guitar with a coil split or a 335 style guitar with coil split. A phase switch would be an added plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members poolshark Posted June 17, 2012 Members Share Posted June 17, 2012 Music Man Reflex HH. Not particularly traditional, but crafted like a fine watch. Solid as a rock with an astounding variety of tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JRBain Posted June 17, 2012 Members Share Posted June 17, 2012 I'd want to buy a Suhr Modern, but the budget's not high enough. (two thousand pounds on the other hand...) ...So I'd likely opt for a Rasmus/Suhr model, EB Silhouette or possibly Petrucci model, a nice strat or tele, possibly SG...

Members dotlikeimpact Posted June 17, 2012 Members Share Posted June 17, 2012 Gretsch Duo Jet. You can get a new one for far less than 2K. Spend the rest of the money on a bridge replacement, and TV Jones. You'd be surprised how versatile it is. Won't sound exactly like any of the guitars you're replacing, but can fill in for any of their contexts just fine. Twangy? Check. Thick rhythm tone? Check. Sparkle and chime? You get the point.

Members thom Posted June 17, 2012 Members Share Posted June 17, 2012 Probably an es-335. I'm really more a fender guy, but nowadays all sorts of good teles/jazzmasters/strats/etc can easily be bought for under $1K. No reason for a medeiocre guitarist like myself to spend more than $800 on a telecaster:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dkerwood Posted June 17, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 17, 2012 Why are you replacing those guitars with 1? Streamlining. I don't play out as much now as I used to, and on the rare occasion that I do get a gig, I'm usually taking my LP or my Strat... MAYBE both. I just want a guitar that can get the thick HB tone, chimey SC tone, something quacky, screaming leads, but still darken up for that occasional jazz gig. I'll probably keep the Epi LP as a backup (because it's the best darn Epiphone I or anyone else has ever seen), but I'm getting to the point where it's not quite capturing the sounds in my head.

I've never gotten along with the SG style axe- the weight is all wrong to me. And the Tele type is cool, but still not my cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good. I'd probably get an LP with P90s. Those can cover a lot of ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bdegrande Posted June 17, 2012 Members Share Posted June 17, 2012 I would have one custom built in that price range, but if not, a Parker NiteFly - HSS with piezo, lots of versatility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
