You don't like Fender? I love my Telecaster, not as much as my Gibson perhaps but it is definitely no.2. I would pick the telecaster over the les paul any day if I was playing a rhythm part though. I find Gibsons slightly more restrictive when play chords. I dunno why, just a feeling I have. For picking, hammering, sliding however the Gibson cannot be beat by any guitar under £2000 in my opinion.

Wow, that Ric-12 String looks cool! How does that handle and can you play it to the same level as you can a six string? I tend to get a little confused when playing 12 stings. That's probably just because I am not used to them though as I also get a little confused playing 5-string bass's.

It takes a bit of getting used to, but once you play it for a while, it just comes naturally. It's a bit more work pressing more strings down, but its worth it once you hear the sound that it makes. It's the most beautiful sounding guitar ive ever heard. If youve ever heard some of the Beatles tracks from the mid-60s (ie. Hard Day's Night, If I Needed Someone, Ticket to ride) you'll know what i mean. It's much harder to play lead guitar on just because it has more strings, but its not THAT bad. It aint as good a lead guitar as a 6 or 7 string but its fine all the same playing lead.

I think Jack White uses an old(ish), cheap(ish) Yamaha and it seems to work out ok for him. At the end of the day it is not the tool it is the craftsman which is most important.

All too true davierocks. Even Hendrix or Page would have still kicked ass with even a cheap guitar.

I have one acoustic guitar. It is a Takamine G-240. I am almost completely unskilled with it. But once in a while I take it out and strum for a while. That is all.

Hey Pitt Clemens, whatcha talkin bout?!
Epiphones are great! They play as well as the more expensive Gibsons but cost less. If i had a Casino or some other Epiphone, I'd brag about them.
Now...SHOW US PICS!

My guitars: Yamaha BBG5 & Burns Marquee   Crafter acoustic  Wasburn Mercury Series  (Apparently a rare and valuable model as it has Status pickups. Also, this image has been photoshopped to make the neck longer by a friend.) Kit not shown: Techsystems 200 watt amp Yamaha SY85 keyboard Rickenbacker 4001's are droolworthy, though only if they have that aggressive Chris Squire sound. Not like those pansies nowadays, they should have the treble whacked right up! |

Believe me i know Lurrr. I have a 1976 Fireglow 4001 Bass and its the best sounding Bass ive ever played. Ive played a Hofner, a Yamaha, a washburn, and a Fender Jazz Bass but none of em compare to the old Ric 4001. It comes highly recommended from me 10/10.

My God, Lurrr, you could kill a man with that washburn. Hehe. Even though the neck has been photoshopped there it still is really long. When I mentioned it to a friend he sent me that pic as a joke but it took me months to realise he'd changed it. @Nasty Pasty- I would most definitely love to get my hands on a fireglow 4001, but the £1000 asking price is a little too much for a poor student like me. One day though...

You dont need to get a brand new-factory model. They have numerous ones on Ebay for GREAT prices. Check there if youre interested.
