cubbiesinger Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 Good points. It still would be a pretty decent set up. If I pay the guy $325, $100 for the pickups and maybe 50 for the labor? That's 475 for a guitar I might really like. Or maybe not. Hehehehe. The point is taken. I'm trying to get out this weekend to play some guitars, but I'm fighting a bug and taking it easy at home. So... time will tell. My money is burning a hole in my pocket though. I've been saving for a while, plus I just sold a pistol to help fund it and I'm excited to have enough for a half way decent guitar. But then there is always an amp, recording software, drum set. Hehehehehhehe. It's never going to end now. My daughter tells me she wants to learn the drums. And I can teach her the basics. I'm no Bonhom though. OK, different thread. Sorry!

Oh, I have a photobucket account! I'll see if I can download them to there. I have been using snapfish lately. I did come up with this in my mind (but I'll post the LP pictures later): I think at this point I've narrowed down my search in my mind. After listening to 7k youtube videos of people playing, and what I've played so far, my list is narrowed down to: SG with P90's (or buckers) or a Tele with humbuckers. And I'm definitely leaning more towards the SG, just because I've never had one, and I've like the ones I played. It pretty much fits all of my requirements, besides the fact that I don't like the way it looks. I think I'm getting over that now. Plus, I like the look of the wood over paint for some reason at this point. Although I would still consider a painted SG. But you see more in a wood tone with some kind of finish over it. Those are the two on top of my list. I will also consider Strat with 2 humbuckers or something other than the 3 single coils Gibson Melody Maker with 2 pups (have yet to play one or even see one on for that matter) Les Paul "Special" double cut with P90's PRS of some sort An Epiphone Casino The challenge will be finding an SG in my range, if it's going to be a Gibby. I know I can afford a tele with buckers. We'll see who wins out first. I'm at home right now instead of church because I'm under the weather. But if I get out today and play something, I'll update anyone who is interested. Thanks for the advice guys!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
