Re: I'm so disapointed

My GF says I look fat w/ a ES-335. Mostly because they're big guitars but I tower them. Indie, check out the Epi Firebirds w/ 3 pickups, they're alot better. We had a Gibson and an Epi firebird here, and the Epi beat the Gibby to hell.

Re: I'm so disapointed

you want to look radical.. man get your ass a jackson kelly.. that is screaming metal up your ass! i want one in trans red. it just spells bad-ass

and those hammers dont look half bad. if there only wants the pickguard. imo, those ruin the look of the explorer

i liked the EPS's better when they had the original gibby ex shape.. now they ruined it. far too pointy and, just wrong somehow

Re: I'm so disapointed

hmmm... three pickups ain't me. I actually don't like the feel of an SG, too much, either. I love the way fenders and LP's feel.... but, I have to agree, I probably look pretty retarded with an Explorer or Flying V.... thehehehe....

Re: I'm so disapointed

maybe you should quit trying to be fashionable & play what sounds & feels good

Re: I'm so disapointed

It's not that I want to be fashionable, I've just always had a weak spot for a radical body, like the Ex, V or Warlock... they're just so... radical.

Re: I'm so disapointed

i dont like 3 pup gibsons either. that middle pup messes with me and i dont really think it does much for the tone.

body shapes aside, if you dont like the first you pick up, try a couple more. there is a difference in playablility, feel and sound between different individual guitars.
keep playing em till you find one that you fall in love with

i agree with that. The middle pup stuffs my picking up as well...one of the reasons I'm not a strat fan (even though I do have the obligatory 1 Fender strat...)

Re: I'm so disapointed

no i'm saying you didn't like some guitars because they looked bad on you, who cares, honestly

Re: I'm so disapointed

And from your avatar we can assume you choose a guitar based on how much fibre it adds to your diet?

exactly.... that's why I'd like an explorer, it's a HUGE hunk o'wood

Re: I'm so disapointed

I had a 76'Explorer, and it had GREAT tone.

Of course, I dumped the electronics and went aftermarket...

Re: I'm so disapointed

Epiphone '58 RI Explorer was my first "real" guitar and I still have it to this day. It rocks after you upgrade the electronics.
