Bubba wants a new guitar.......

[Mistress Masie]

My spawn has decided that on his 15th birthday (in two weeks) he would like an electric guitar.

I myself am an accoustic enthusiast so I know nothing about all the bells & whistles that go with electric playing.

Any words of advice on brands? Equipment? What would be a good begginner electric? He does play accoustic now.

Momma is kinda poor so keep that in mind.

Any input would be most helpful.

Thankyoueversomuch.

Spawn hahaha

If I called my demons kids "spawn" I would be poisoned @ diner. there is a small company called Tridition who put out qual guitars for about $120 US.Or I have a Kramer Strat Copy for sale!!

I recommend a starter pack, unless you want to spend more than $300, but remember, you get what you pay for.

A couple of good options

BC Rich pack

Epiphone (by Gibson) les paul pack (I honestly don't know the quality of this)

Squier (by Fender) Strat Pack
http://www.music123.com/Item/?itemno=21368

ESP/LTD Pack

All of these should be good starting packs, but its kind of dependant of what he plays as to which one would probobly be best.

Hope this is somewhat helpful.

Get him something with spikes and explosions and stuff.
Quality doesn't matter to us kids.

Also if you're looking for something cheap try www.musicyo.com they have some decent Kramers and some starter packs and all that. Get a death metal distortion pedal as well.

 

[Dead Winter]

Ibanez. Good quality, good sound, pretty affordable. Dimarzio pickups too. THE PICKUPS ARE KEY HERE!!!!

But since he's just starting, don't worry about it.

How much?

 

[Break Zero]

get him an ESP/ltd F50, a strap, some 10 watt amp, and that should hold him over till he realizes what he has gotten himself into.

Lol, you could always be a smart-ass and buy some ratty acoustic guitar from a pawn shop, punch a hole into the frame, then hang an AC adapter or something from the hole. Walla! An electric guitar! Heheh, the look on your spawn's face would be priceless, especially if he opened your gift in front of friends.

Well if he's just starting out, I highl;y reccomend he start on acoustic, then move on to electric in a year or so after learning the basics. If he's gradu-tating to electric, then a Made in Mexico Fender Strat would be a great starter, or perhaps a lower end Ibanez. It all depends on how much you're willing to spend.

If you got a cool 15 G's lying around, I reccomend this

id suggest this one. this is what my mom bought me back in high school when i first got serious about playing.

 

[Mistress Masie]

(Bubba is a Scorpio? then... )

Oh yes, COMPLETELY Scorpio.

Holy Geez, that kid is gonna give me grey hair.

 

[Tee]

that's a very nice answer. :hotjump:

sorry about the future of your hair tho, it just has to be like that.

depending on how much you are willing to spend:

i got my Bronze Series BC Rich Warlock for $225

 

[Will Bozarth]

and on a side note, all of my guitars are BC Rich's. not only do they look nice, they sound great, as well. (that is, with the right pedal and amplifier to go with it)
