 |
|
Looking to get a new guitar.
Mostly playing BA (majority on electric)
Living in apartment- no band.
Current gear:
AM Vintage 57 RI strat
MIM Classic 60 strat
Fender GA43SCE Acoustic
Vox AD 30 VT
Can't decide whether to buy an acoustic (Moon RD3) or a new electric).
If I decide to buy another electric- I'll go for a Gibson (LP or ES335)
Beginner since 2002 (saved up money for the Moon which is 1625 £) and don't mind saving up an exstra 1,000$ (guitar prices are sky high in Denmark) for a Gibson VOS LP.
It's just easier to grab an acoustic and play and the strat I have is brilliant. LP has another sound though.
What is your advice?

Get a nice Guild, or a Gibson Songwriter.

Yeah, I knew that. Have you played some of them to find out if they are really The Guitar for you?

I think next electric will either be an LP, Tele or Gretsch Nashville, thanks for the link though.

Nic, listen to ~T~! The man is a guru. What he's telling you is that the T5 is an acoustic guitar, a fine one, and it is an electric guitar, and a great one. This thing is quite possibly the shape of things to come.

Taylor is to be asociated with acoustics. Period. As is Moon period. Period.
