Gibson robot guitar

[tered]

when i get the chance to buy one, i want a used one from the 80's. i was going to buy a '64 melody maker (similar to what joan jett plays) a few years back, but it was waaay over priced.

Yay Ms. A!
That would be good. The early 80's have some hot PU's. I try to find "dirty fingers" from that period whenever possible. Avoid the "Sonar" from the 80's which looks like an LP. Here's a little clip from a shopping moment in Bangkok when checking out an '84 LP. Felt pretty nice...

do you play guitar too?

just a tiny bit. i always wanted to be a decent rhythm guitar player. i had a couple of great teachers.

wish one would be JEFF LOOMIS! there's still hope... you hear that, mr. loomis??? *one lesson* before i die, okay?

I just have an Ephiphone Les Paul "Goth." It was cheap and it's pretty gay in comparison to other LP's I'm sure, but I like it.

i have a simple, black epiphone (LP body), too (with a kitty sticker slapped on it)! it does the trick when you're not quite ready to shell out the big $$$...

psh, Les Paul is way more awesome than BC Rich. i mean come on.

That would be my dream guitar. Not a Gibson though maybe custom made by Godin or someone.

Great. As if there weren't enough guitar players out there who can't tell when they're out of tune and have no idea how to tune it, now they've done it for you.

Why don't they just invent a fuckin' robot guitar player and get it over with? It's the same concept. You suck at something so instead of learning more about it and practicing, you invent some expensive shortcut to do it for you because you're a moron.

We're doomed.

the same here. I had a band in the early 90's ))
I stopped to play about 10 years ago. but a few weeks ago I started to play again, it is fun!

i like strat style bodies much better than Les Pauls. Everytime i go to guitar center and play a more metalish riff on a les paul a 13 year old comes up to me asking me if i like zakk wylde. It makes me want to shove that guitar up their asses everytime it happens

^thats no reason to hate on Les Pauls

 

[Will Bozarth]

i hate les pauls because they look stupid and are too heavy

 

[Shmu]

That why Jackson own them all : P

anyone else find this reaction insane and way over the top?

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Since when do we frown on insane and over the top?

...it's just because you like em "pointy".

But YES, they are F'n logs. I gave my Epiphone Genesis away for the same reason; and the double cutaways looked gay and gave it a fat ass look.

Yeah, Les Pauls are heavy, expensive, and jam into the side of your gut... But dear god that tone....

Throw your Schecters in the trash and get a real guitar.
