Les_Izmoor Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Hello. I am a complete and utter noob here (I had to search to see what "NGD" stood for, and I sure do hope it means New Guitar Day). I just purchased a PR5-E as my first guitar and am going to take a stab at the obligatory "pics or it isn't real" post. I am not too sure how this forum's thumbnails work, so I am just going to post links to my site if that is alright with the forum potentates. I have reduced the sizes of the photos and hereby wish to apologize for old camera/old hands/old lights/usual disclaimer about being a generally all-around bad photographer/etc. http://mullarea.com/epiphone/PR5-E_01.jpg http://mullarea.com/epiphone/PR5-E_02.jpg http://mullarea.com/epiphone/PR5-E_03.jpg http://mullarea.com/epiphone/PR5-E_04.jpg http://mullarea.com/epiphone/PR5-E_05.jpg http://mullarea.com/epiphone/PR5-E_06.jpg http://mullarea.com/epiphone/PR5-E_07.jpg http://mullarea.com/epiphone/PR5-E_08.jpg You guys have already helped me out in my selection of this model. I did a fair amount of internet research (the final choices were the PR5, the Yamaha FG700 and the Martin LX1) and combed this board looking for insight from folks who actually do know what the heck they are talking about. So thank you all very much for the assistance you have already rendered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Welcome, Les Glad to have you aboard, mate. That's a handsome PR-5, by the way. When it's time to restring, I favor D'Addario Extra Lights myself. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 You guys have already helped me out in my selection of this model. I did a fair amount of internet research (the final choices were the PR5, the Yamaha FG700 and the Martin LX1) and combed this board looking for insight from folks who actually do know what the heck they are talking about. I expect that was Milo. :) He often mentions how he's pleased with this model. (I hope he's doing well.) It looks great in those pics. It did happen! Apparently it's brand spankin' new. From the label, it looks like it was made in 2015. Welcome to the boards! Now, what about an amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Congrats Les! Hope you get a ton of pleasure from your new guitar, and welcome aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les_Izmoor Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Olie, Thank you for the welcome. Cougar, I have no plans to get an amp right at this moment, I should probably learn how to play a few notes first. Sparquelito, I have some D'Addario EXP15s in my cart at Amazon, does that seem about right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les_Izmoor Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Now, what about an amp?[/img] Amplification achieved. One of the folks at the nearest Sam Ash recommended the Roland Micro Cube GX. I have to admit, this is a very impressive wee little box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldCowboy Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 IMHO, you've made good beginning gear choices! Anyhow, welcome to the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
