Guitarists

[danny275]

Right, bringing this thread back (after it failed in quite spectacular fashion on the temporary forum)

Hopefully with new members/more members it will actually take off

So basically this thread is to discuss guitar, guitarists and any other guitar related topics

So to get the ball rolling, here are my guitars


Vintage V100: Peter Green Icon Series (newest Guitar)


Encore E6 (my First Guitar)


SX PST-SC



Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus



And i've various effects pedals too

I 'm a fretless bass guy myself...

[LittleMiho]

I have no guitars but Jack White is my hero. Meg's not too bad either but I guess thats for the drummers thread....

Most of the others were recorded using a mp3 player, so the quality is a bit shite

[01srainey]

No don't sing, Quite awful

You could start off by getting a starter kit. Like this:

Another guitar i've heard good things about is
http://www.yamaha.com/guitars/pacifica.html?CTID=600003

I've also read good reviews of this
http://www.italiaguitars.com/guitarDetail_outer.php?thisGuitarId=17

There's a few more i'd suggest but how much would you spend?

[01srainey]

Sorry should have stated, I'd be going for an acoustic most likely, so that I can sound like Ray, or is electric the way to go?
