I like mine, don't get me wrong, but I wish I would have bought something else like an Orange. VOX are tight too, I want to get something liek 2'x2', I might trade in my big 30w amp, I honestly never even use it its just way too loud even at like 3 volume. omg sooooooo dumb. I guess my fender deville has too much ellectroonics, that's how it sounds so clean. | ||

I have one of these, http://www.fender.com/products/gdec3 it is the Fender G-Dec, it has like 100 built in sounds, you can do a ton to it. it gets way more use to be honest, and its pretty much loud enough to play with drums if you get the bigger one. I dont kknow, once I saw the Orange amps I started to like those a lot more, they just have way more character to them, but I never really realized how hard it is to get a clean sound out of those kind of amps. the deville was my first big amp i just got it last year. | ||

Not only is it a gorgeous piece of eye candy, it also has beautiful clean tones and a brutal low-end. The thing is that my amp doesn't really do it justice, although for its size it packs quite a wallop. I'm thinking of getting a midrange blackstar or peavey. I'm also using a Boss zoom G1X pedal, which has some distortion options on it that are just punishingly heavy. I can get some amazing sounds out of that pedal! | ||

This is my baby Yep its a crappy $119 Squier strat but it's all I need, I'm just learning now. No one cares if I'm practicing in my room with a low quality instrument, and I still love it haha I also have an acoustic guitar, I don't really know much about it, but on the sticker inside it it says 'CG Conn Ltd. Oakbrook Illinois. Imported from Japan' or something of that nature Anyway, some of my favorite songs to play atm: + Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0fmobvjX5E Yeah the guy looks really out of place, but he does a great job with the song And of course some good old Beatles / George Harrison And I also have a question for anyone who can answer it: How the hell do you sing while playing? Whenever I try either my singing goes to hell or my playing goes to hell, I can't seem to do both at once. | ||

I have a set of medium strings on my acoustic guitar (13-56). They're pretty new, but for whatever godforsaken reason my D string snapped. Now normally I'd just buy a new D string (happens to be a 35), but I happen to have a set of 12's lying around (D string is a 32). So the question is: can I use the 32 in place of the 35? Or should I just stop being an idiot and buy a new 35? | ||

Currently my (reasonable) dream guitar would be a highway one stratocaster with 3 Seymour Duncan SHR-1 Hot Rails (it's what dave murray plays with). I want to try and get a hold of a cream colored one in the future, with a maple neck, white pick guard, to look like hendrix's but sound like dave murray's strat | ||

Been playing electric for 4-5 years, got a Epiphone SG for 350 bucks and it's hooked up to my Peavey 6505+ combo. Ah, economy equipment for a poor student. Luckily I'm working full time now and raking in the cash so I'm on the prowl for a new, nicer guitar. Looking to put down 1500-2000. BTW has anyone gone from double cutaway (eg a SG) to a single cutaway? On my SG, where the neck meets the body is also very thin and curves smoothly (unlike most guitars). Do you ever get used to the single cutaway and/or fat neck/body connection? I've been to some stores and just sitting down and playing those guitars are awkward. | ||
