Tardcore Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I've been playing guitar for 5 years now. I have a Taylor 314ce acoustic which I really like, but my electric is a piece of shit. I'm average at playing, but my knowledge on guitars and equipment is lacking. What would you guys recommend as a solid electric for playing a lot of fast punk stuff, but also a decent clean sound? I'm assuming I'll get answers like "Telecaster, Les Paul, etc...", but there are so many versions and whatnot. Also, budget will be $800~ when I actually get around to buying it. Thanks in advance. $800 can buy a pretty nice guitar, particularly on the used market. Fast punk has been played on many a guitar. If that's your only requirement, you are left pretty wide open. Do you have any style preferences (vintage vs modern look, surf style vs metal, etc)? any functional preferences (neck style, scale length, fret board radius)? If you don't really know what you want, just put your hands on different types. fwiw, I really like the (left-handed) cobain mustang I picked up a year or so ago for around $800. If I was right handed, I would be all over the Johnny Marr Jaguar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I had debated the Cobain Jag, but after getting the Hi Flyers, I figure I can go for something else...like a Squier Bass VI. Next month, it is on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next month, it is on... I am very interested in the new un-reliced version of the Cobain jag. it's a little hard to swallow laying down over $1000 for a made in Mexico Fender. Not that I am a huge Cobainophile or whatever. it's just that the Mustang/Jag are usually very hard to come by as a lefty without paying absurd prices.

danementzer Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I just picked up a Segull Maritime Solid Wood Series cutaway and it is effing unreal. The sound quality is absolutely amazing, the onboard electronics are true sounding and the feel is unmatched. I spent less than $700 and it outplayed up to ~$1500 Martins and Taylors. I haven't even been playing my Les Paul or Tele since I got this thing. I also picked up and Egnator tube amp, the Tweaker, and it's gorgeous. It sounds great with all three of my guitars.

taylo234 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Anyone ever heard of/used this site? http://pedalgenie.com/ I saw them on reddit the other day. Basically you can rent guitar pedals for a monthly fee and keep them and swap them out for as long as you have the service (like netflix for guitar pedals). $34.95 which is a bit steep but I can see doing this every now and then to try out effects pedals that cost upwards of $200+. First month is $1 apparently too. Might try it sometime, but was curious what you guys thought. They're still new so I can't find any reputable reviews of the service.

Sugar Shane Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Damn I can't wait to see it! I'm thinking of getting a Squier vintage modified Jazzmaster as a 23rd bday present to myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I saw a sweet Squier Jag in surf green when I was at GC...I almost wanted to just pick it up for the hell of it, but I kept my composure haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Shane Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I've heard they can have a lot of bridge buzz so I'm definitely putting a buzz stop on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Yeah, I imagine I will have to tweak the Bass VI because it will have some intonation issues. That's okay though, I planned on modding it out anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Feel free to send me one if you want! At last count my Acoustic collection was: - 370 (x4) - 360 (x1) - B-2 (x1) - 150 (x1) - 301 1x18" (x2) - 402 2x15" (x1) - 406 2x15" (x1) - ??? 2x15" (x1...weird non-marked cab I got with the 150...has an ACC serial # plate though) - B120 1x15" combo - 2 wedge monitors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Shane Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Do I pay $300 for a traditional Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster with rosewood fretboard or $180 for a VM Special with a hard tail bridge, maple fretboard and concentric knobs. Doesn't look as cool, but an extra $120 is pretty cool too. Same electronics, just a different bridge and look. What would you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar Shane Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah, I'm thinking it'll just be like a Strat w/P90s at that point. I hate maple too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
