The Electric Gu*tar thread.

Sign in to disble this ad
Ok, we are all bassists but some of you guys do play other instruments. Namely guitar. You use acoustic Gu*tars to write songs etc.
But what about electric Gu*tar? Any of you TBers play those?

I'll start off by asking your opinions/favourites on the all-time legendary Les Pauls. I'm not talking just Gibson or Epiphone.
What are your opinions on Edwards(By ESP)?

Namely this one:

Normally, I'm a Fender guy when it comes to electric guitars (I have a Strat and a Duo-Sonic) but I think I need to add a Les Paul to the mix...

Sorry, I dont know anything about Edwards guitars. Im a strat guy also, Ive got a Texas Fat Strat that is a complete and total tone machine and I will never part with.. Ive also got my eye on a few different Agiles from Rondo.
As for the Edwards, you can probably get some info at Harmony Central.

the only guitar I used to play was my brother's fat strat. I hated every inch of it.

Edwards is a damn good brand. Made by ESP, higher quality than the LTD's stateside.

I was a bass player when I started hangin' out here. Now I play guitar. I use fairly pedestrian stuff onstage but I get enough out of it to rock.

The main thing: Mesa Boogie F-100.

After that a '91 Ibanez 570 and a '99 MIM '57 Stratocaster.

I want a a JS1000...still.

Can't really say what's gonna work for other folks though I love the MESA.

The JS100 is pretty bad from what I've heard, I'd save up for the 1000 or 1200

My setup is okay right now. A standard Squier strat that's black and has a mirror like pickguard. My amp is a Line 6 Spider II 212 150 watt combo amp. It sounds amazing. The only thing I need right now is a footswitch.

The next guitar I'm going to get is probably an American Strat

Really...I meant the JS1000. I've seen the 100's, I like the fact that they're red.

I want a Fernandes hide signature model!

BTW, this vid of a guy doing an X Japan solo on an Ibanez JEM is totally moving.

Is it a Peavey, a MusicMan or a OLP?

I LOVE this guitar, If I ever buy another guitar (I've got a very, very, very old LP copy that sounds like heaven), it'll be that one.

EVH is my personal Chuck Norris...

I have the following 6 string guitars. Rarely played, but I love all of them.

2005 Taylor 214CE acoustic

2001 Gibson Les Paul Classic Junior - wine coloured flamed maple with gold HW (best low action on a guitar I have ever seen - instant Yngwie soloing!)

2004 Gibson Les Paul Studio (black with gold HW)

I bought the Les Pauls when I thought I was a guitarist when I picked up playing again after 12 years. I guess playing bass since I was 14 made me realize I should stick to bass.

In your opinion, does Musicman make good guitars?
