After the advice you guys gave me I just walked in the store and after a few hours came out with a Fender Squier HSS Strat , a very basic guitar indeed , however I played te Ibanez i was intrested in before the Fender and the Fender just sounded/played better. Another small advantage was the amp that came with it , the amp that ibanez provided didn't really sound good at all.. So , a basic guitar that plays/sounds nice (to me that is  ) thanks for the tips a few posts back 
this is not a great way to have gone about it. if you are a noob the salesman can sucker you into whatevers making them a good cut and the resale value on low end guitars is really bad so you get jipped if you want to replace it
We touched on this earlier. He was already wary of being swayed by the guys in the store and it doesn't sound much like he relied on them. If he spent a couple of hours trying stuff out and left the store happy then I'd call it a success.
its not exactly a guitar with good reviews either so i wonder what he went by..
Dunno, could just be that he found a good one and really enjoyed playing it. I've played some really low quality guitars with notable mojo. |

DAT SKY GUITAR *drool*
Have you had the pleasure?
For anyone who doesn't know: that's Uli Jon Roth's (early Scorpions) signature model. |

Nah, I was just reminded by all dem scallops. I think Sky was the first guitar I actually heard of with a scalloped fretboard.
He played with the Smashing Pumpkins at a festival a while ago, that was a cool thing to run into on Youtube.

If the current Squier HSS model is set up the way I imagine it is, then it's got the three pickups, three knobs and a five way switch, right? Guitars do get more complicated than that, but they also get much more basic. There are guitars with one pickup, one knob for volume, etc. With the kind of setup you have, you should be able to get a bunch of different sounds. Anyway, have fun!
Guess I meant basic as in cheap
For the people saying it isn't a very good guitar, ofcourse not, but for a guy who can only play 4 chords it's a fun thing to play on. I really didn't wanna blow 500 euro's on a guitar without really knowing if it was good or not. For a beginner it's hard to hear/tell the diffrence, atleast for me it is The way i got to buying this one is simple , I went to the store, had a look at some guitars around 100-200 euro's , asked if i could play them and their amps and choose the one that sounded/played nicest |

Yesterday I decided to go to a local music store I hadn't been to in a while. I've been thinking about getting a low wattage tube amp and wanted to see how they compare to each other in real life.
First thing I realized is that they didn't really have much in the way of low wattage tube amps and that I should have called. I asked and the clerk told me that they used to have some, but now they don't seem to.
So I asked about the new Fender Pawn Shop series amps, and he hadn't heard of them, but after hearing my description concluded that they probably wouldn't order any because they would be hard to sell.
After that I decided to play around with the amps they did have. There was a decent selection of heads and 2x12 sized stuff. But all the amps are wired up in the middle of the store, so if you want to play them you have to play them at low volume, which won't tell you that much about a tube amp (or a cab). I had the (ok, low-ish watt) Marshall Class 5 volume knob at about 1.5 and they asked me to turn it down.
But on the plus side I discovered that there's a Pacifica model out now with a P-90 in the neck and a split coil humbucker in the bridge, which is a pretty cool configuration for an inexpensive guitar. Didn't have a chance to try it out but I might have to.

I've bought pretty much everything except cables and strings through Kijiji in the last year or so. Couple of pedals, rack unit, two guitars. I think that's it. You never really know what you're getting so you need to inspect pretty carefully and not be afraid to pass on something after trying it out.
It's useless trying to bargain with people though. I never respond to an ad unless the asking price is already what I'm willing to pay. I remember one guy was trying to sell a pedal for more than the store price, so I told him I'd pay a bit less than the store price if he didn't get a better offer, and he sent me a pissy reply. |

yeah kijiji is full of people who sell shit for ridiculous prices (some try to rip people off, some they actually don't know much). On top of that I live in Canada so people think inflated prices are acceptable which is bs. I mostly use online guitar forum classifieds for buying now unless of course a good deal pops up on kijiji. |

I play death metal with a progressive/alternative influence, think Machine Head with Tool and Cynic mixed in. I need a good Chorus pedal, mostly for my clean intros, and I'm seriously considering the Boss CE 5 Chorus Ensemble. I haven't personally myself used one, so any honest feedback from experienced players would be appreciated.
My Rig
Guitar: Dean MAB2 Aviator (autographed lol, if anyone wants to buy hehe) with
MAB Hands Without Shadows Neck Pickup
Dean DMT SCVH Middle Pickup
Dean DMT Baker Act Bridge Pickup
Amp: Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Amp
Cab: Mesa Traditional/Stiletto 4x12 Cabinet
Current Pedal Chain: Boss CS-3 Compression/Sustain > Boss ML-2 Metal Core > Boss GE-7 Equalizer (HEAVY midrange scoop) > Jim Dunlop Crybaby Wah > Boss RV-7 Reverb > MXR Carbon Copy Delay. (I never use a tuner in my chain, because I just prefer to keep a chromatic tuner clipped onto the head of the guitar, tune up with a Korg chromatic plugin beforehand, and have a Floyd Rose system and don't abuse the whammy so not too worried about that).
What I'm looking for is a good, shimmery chorus effect with at least 2 voices but nothing overboard, nothing TOO subtle, to stick either after my EQ or after my Wah. Currently on my clean intros, I turn off everything but Compression, Delay, and SOMETIMES Reverb (albeit on a different setting) but would really like to be able to have a nice chorus with a good sounding voice but nothing TOO glitzy, something you might hear on a Tool album or something. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

| I've been playing on my old acoustic yamaha f310 for the past few years (Which I've heard is great for the price). I've been wondering what a decent upgrade would be. Lately I've been looking into the Taylor's 200 series, would anyone recommend for or against this? I mostly play fingerstyle stuff but I wanted to stick with steel strings. Any feedback would be awesome :D |

I decided to learn guitar and finally bought a guitar today ^^.
I got a Seagull S6 Original, and I am very happy with it so far. |

I have been playing drums as my main instrument for about 10 years, but i find it really fun to play guitar on the side.
From Left: My brand new (USA)Fender Telecaster, crappy strat copy (my beginners guitar) and a Roland 30XL Cube that i use for bedroom jamming. The telecaster is so awesome, it went beyond all my expectations!
(Sorry for creepy and bad phone pic)
