Or buy two better non-Gibson guitars for the same price.
@Peppermint - not sure why your links don't work for anyone outside your region but it's not a huge deal. Personally I'd go for the Burns over the Ric. Since you seem to like vintage instruments have you ever checked out Eastwood guitars? They specialize in selling authentic replicas built with modern quality. I've never actually had the chance to try them myself but they seem to have a decent enough reputation - Welcome to Eastwood® Guitars.com |

Anyone who wants a site that has got great coppies and some original designs should look at Rondo Music. Their guitar woods, necks are amazing. The hardware and nut are not so great but if you are handy with setups and have a nut you want to buy or already have they can be some of the best playing sounding guitars out their. I have a p90 strat copy from them which has new electronics/hardware/trem and I like it better than all the mexi's I have had including the 69 reissue thinline tele. Again if you are willing to put in the work you can spend under 300 dollars and get a guitar that will rival the real deal. I really want to order one of the agile 2000 les pauls coppies!
Ps> They have basses as well. The jazz coppies are amazing! http://www.rondomusic.com/ Quote:

Left-handed Jazzmaster is the way to go; works brilliantly with effects pedals, and sounds great with only an exceptionally great post game and defense.
I really believe that either Kentucky or Syracuse winning the title.

If Jazzmasters are anything like Jaguars (and they usually are) be advised that you'll also be buying the WIDEST neck you'll ever wrap your hand around. It's not quite as wide as the few 7 strings I've tried but the neck on my Jaguar is noticeably the widest in my collection.

I plan on making The next guitar I purchase a hollow body or semi-hollow body. I hear that hollow bodies tend to have feedback problems, and semi-hollow bodies have less feedback. Is this true? How do full hollow bodies sound when plugged into an amp with distortion?
I need some help measuring out the pros and cons of each guitar. Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated. I currently have a solid body electric and an acoustic. I've been undecided on whether or not my next guitar should be electric or acoustic. So I figure I'll just get a hollow or semi-hollow body - a little taste of both worlds. I hear that full hollow bodies sound good when you play them unplugged, and they project sound kind of like an acoustic. But do semi-hollow bodies have a noticeable difference between solid bodies when played unplugged? Edit: I've been doing some research. I saw someone say that their full hollow body sounded better than their acoustic when it was unplugged. That's a good thing for me, that's what I want. I hear that they're good for playing jazz and a soft B.B. King style blues when they are plugged in. But can they be used to play a loud, distorted rock n roll or metal style?

Here is a video of QOTSA where I think they both are using full hollow bodies. Here is one of townsend using one, he often did and played some relatively hi ish gain stuff with it.

Just repeating what I read. Maybe he has a really ****ty acoustic. And ya, you can play any style on any kind of guitar, but I guess there are little things about certain guitars that make them better for what the guitarist is trying to achieve. Is there really that much of a difference between solid body, semi-hollow and fully hollow electric? Is there really that much of a difference between an acoustic-electric and a fully hollow bodied electric? I already have a solid body, so if I want to play some stuff with high gain I could just use that. I guess what I'm looking for is something that sounds good when it's unplugged, but I don't really want an acoustic; I want to also be able to plug it up and play some blues or jazz, and even some rock with a little gain behind it. I think fully hollow matches that description. That being said, what would you recommend? Last edited by blastingas10; 02-21-2012 at 01:55 AM. |
