So this guy tried to get me to buy a Variax today...
Ya, I went into the local music store today to play around on this Joe Satriani Ibanez I've been GASing about for quite a while...and this conversation ensuing my profuse drooling goes as such:
Some guy I've never seen before: "Pfft, don't buy that! You'll be interested in a guitar that's pretty much 36 different kinds in one!"
Me: "Nah man, I've played one before. All the models sound pretty sterile. I'd rather spend my money on something that'll give me one great tone than a couple OK tones and numerous useless ones."
"Hey man, it'll cost you Thousands to get the sounds this thing makes!"
"I don't play more than three styles of music and I have guitars to cover those already. I just like the JS so I want to buy it"
"This guitar'll produce all the sounds that one you're looking at will and many more! it also has an acoustic simulator"
"I have an acoustic that works fine thanks. But let me ask you some questions. One, would you be proud to hold that thing in public? Also, would you rather spend $1,000 on a guitar that gives you a bunch of OK tones or $1,000 on a beautiful guitar that feels nice to you and produces the exact tone you want?"
"Of course not everyone is going to find the guitar ideal"
"right, and I'm not one of them. Now if you'd be so kind as to take down the JS and let me play on it through your 5150, I'll be happy. And by the way, in about a month I'm going to buy this."
...So pretty much it's just me oogling for that JS Ibanez I've been saving my money up for. I've got $800, which is enough for it but I've got some other bills to pay--such as my AP testing and whatnot. I have my Peavey 5150 on the way from Guitar Center (YEEEES) and an Ibanez JS soon to come. Already ordered the pickups I want for it: 59/JB combo. Oh yes
by the way guys, I like how the forum looks. The pickup icons are awesome and the smilies rock. Especially like this one: :fing25:
haha
yea, I haven't been here in a while. Anyone miss me? lol
