Which guitar would you choose?

[Benjy_26]

Hey everybody.

I will be graduating from college soon (yay!! ) and, since I won't have to pay tuition anymore, I figure I can get myself a brand new axe. which would you choose?


Keep in mind, I already have a LP Standard and a Hamer Special (flat top studio).

I'm looking for something with a mahogany body and set neck, with dual pickups. I'm not averse PRS, Heritage, Hamer, or Gibson (maybe a R9? ). Thanks for the suggestions.


:burnout:

Re: Which guitar would you choose?

Maybe you should look at a guitar with a different pup config. than you already have? Both the Gibson (provided you don't get a lemon) and Hamer are great guitars and both dual humbucker, so you may want something with single coils, p90s, Filtertrons, mini buckers or something to give you different types of tones.

I can tell you that if you order from the right dealer, you're going to get one hell of an amazing Gibson. I think well made Gibsons will rival anything out there, no matter how boutique it is. Bear in mind, taking that extra step in price range WILL spoil you. I don't enjoy playing low end guitars after the way I feel when I plug into something really exceptional.

hmmm, brian moore makes some fine guitars ...

+1 on considering trying something different (woods / pup configuration / construction / etc) from what you already have

congrats on graduation and good luck in the job market ... it is SUCH a nice feeling to finally be done school, trust me ... it's even sweeter than you are imagining it to be

cheers

I'd probably get the best strat that my folks would pay for. I'm gonna try to talk my grandparents (who are llloooooooaaaaaaddddeeeedddd) into a custom shop strat. Probably just a time machine relic.

"just" a custom shop relic he says :laugh2:

no offense by the way...

Re: Which guitar would you choose?

by "just" I meant nothing incredibly special, like you see some professional artists with. The only reason I'd go custom shop is because it's the only strat I can get in nitro with a little added wear with a beefy neck. I know alot of folks dont like relics, but I see 'em more like pre-faded jeans (not extreamly faded), soon, your own wear mixes in with the "stock" wear and you cant tell where one started and the other one ended.

My first thought when I read this was "why is he getting the same guitar?" I agree with what everyone else has said and go for something a little different (wood, pickups). Maybe a strat or tele or at least something with p-90s.

Can you get any guitar you want?

I'd lean towards a Hamer . . .but the PRS guitars are all very good (just usually more money for the same quality as a Hamer) Try one of the Hamers with P90s . . . I think they ship with Duncans. Or a Musicman guitar . . . if that's your thing.

Re: Which guitar would you choose?

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. The thing is, I already have 2 strats, 2 tele's, and 2 Carvins (shredder axe, anyone?), besides, 2 pickups and a set neck just feel more natural to me.

Thanks T4D, I still don't know what kind of job I'll be getting.
