Guitar Crew!!!!!!! v. New Guitar

[God of Thunder]

Many of you have seen my guitar threads around here, and how I have slowly been progressing. Anyways, I had this cheap little epiphone Les Paul 100. I loved the guitar dearly, as it was my first. Anyways, I ended up going through 3 of them, all of them coming down with one problem or another. So today, on Friday the 13th, I asked if I could just return my LP100 and buy something nicer to try and get a better quality guitar. After spending 2 hours walking around guitar center, I decided to purchase this. So far, I can't even sleep and ABSOLUTELY LOVE the way it sounds.

So, to the guitar players here, what you think??!

I used to have a Les Paul. Wonderful tone, they look great, but it's like having a bowling ball strapped around your neck. I bet it weighed at least twice what my Flying V weighs...

Nice axe. I'm a Les Paul guy myself(goldtop '57 reissue). LP Studios are great guitars for the money. I like the all black look.

Les Paul + Marshall amp = tone heaven :rockon:

Sweet. I'd love to learn to play guitar.

time to get crackin' buddy. Girls LOVE a guy who can play guitar.My 10 year old is fascinated by it, wants lessons for his birthday. I told him the same thing.

Hell, I might take them along with him.

I tried to learn to play, bought a cheap guitar and amp. Its just to difficult for me. My fingers just arent made to move like that.

You can seldom go wrong with a Gibson, and I have had good luck with my three Epi's - One LP, Pne dot 335, and one LP Bass. Lately, I've been eyeballing the Epi LP Ultra with the chambers to make it lighter. Reviews have been very good, and I can always upgrade the pickups to my preferred Seymour Duncan humbuckers.

Nice. I like the sound of a hollow body myself though.

[DaFace]

I started trying to learn to play on this one the other day.

Seriously, though, nice lookin guitar. I know absolutely nothing about them from a buying or playing standpoint, but it looks great nonetheless.

I've been a drummer since I was 14, taught myself to play bass for a few years, several years ago and am talking my wife into "allowing" or "authorizing" getting a guitar and taking some lessons.

I'll probably start with Acoustic, however I am open to suggestions on a good starter guitar, or should I go electric?

BTW, I'm interested in learning, John Cougar, Eric Clapton, classic rock style songs.

[crazycoffey]

btw, the pictures look really cool and I'm happy to hear you are enjoying it.

[digi2fish]

I had a Gibson Les Paul, too.
one of my friend borrowed from me to took his wedding photo, and it never returns....

Electric is easier to play and you can do so much more with it. But just starting out acoustic is the way to go, you will be more likely to actually learn how to play than just tinker with all the cool gadgets.

Nice axe , always wanted a Les Paul ,right now I have a ESP KH-2
