    Help! lol.


    Crap... no guitar here at work... I will doule check at home... I am thinking it's the G or B... Like I said, I will pick up m'Gee-Tar when I get home to double check.


  3. Very nice choice.... however, my first electric will be a Strat (starter pack). I'm more into Gibsons, they sound smoother I think, while the Fenders are kinda springy (do I make sence lol?).

    Yeah, you make sense lol. I've got knockoff Strat (Tobacco Sunburst) and a Fender Strat (red w/ white pickguard.) The Strats, in my mind, are good starter guitars, as they're very versitile. Along with your Les Pauls, etc. Tele's are much more "screechers" lol. The Tele or an SG will be the next guitar I buy, probably. Even though I don't really need either of them. Saw a very nice '52 Tele today in Guitar world....too expensive though.

    In TJ's (a local music store), They have a Tele excactly like the one you linked (i'm not sure if its 52') for $800. For my first electric guitar (right now, I'm rocking an acoustic lol), I'm getting the Strat beginner pack (guitar, gig bag, amp, all that good stuff) for just $200! I'l try finding a link...

    Don't use my acoustic that much anymore, but it's fun to break out every once in a while.

    Well, I guess its not really a big deal for you, because you have more than one.... arrgh The only thing is that I finally found my tuner, so I just tuned to E flat, so I can play SBS properly. As soon as I freakin' tune it....

    Guitar is tuned to E-flat and capoed at the 3rd fret.

    It's on the G-string.
