I’m coming into some money soon and I was wondering what kind of Fender should I buy. (Also what kind of Gibson for my sister).

Or should I keep what I have? A “Starcaster”.

And what about an amp? I want something with alot of distortion and high quality sound.

So yeah, I just need some of your opinions. Thanks guys.

pEaCe.

P.S. One additional question; Can an good amp make a crapy guitar sound “OMGAWESOME”?

To my fellow guitar players.I got a gibson flying v last year and love it! But i want it to be more versital. Most people would say its sacreligious to mod a gibson but whatever lol.So which would be better a stetsbar or a bigsby?

I’m not asking for price, because for now, it’s not a factor. I’m just asking for an opinion. I’m looking for what’s better, as in sound and quality. Thanks!!
I’m referring to acoustic/electrics

I played a gibson last week, and it just seems that my stratocaster doesn’t compare to the SG. The shredding and solos are so much easier to play on the Gibson. How can i make the back of the guitar neck more sleek? Or is it something beyond that?

Sure, getting a guitar pack for a beginner is certainly more than acceptable. The goal in the beginning is to just get started. But for experienced guitar players, purchasing a new guitar is a delicate process. They know what sound they like. They know how they like the strings and neck to feel. They will want a guitar that they feel bonded to.

So, what do you do if you want to purchase a guitar for Christmas for the experienced guitar player? It may seem like a daunting task, but if you keep in mind that there are certain brands and styles that experienced guitar players desire, this could make things a lot easier for you.

Here is some more information about purchasing a guitar as a Christmas gift for the experienced guitar player.

Custom Guitars

Several guitar companies offer custom guitars. In fact, a custom guitar is a great way to personalize the guitar. However, if you choose to go the custom guitar route, you may want to consult with the guitarist. With all the different types of woods and body styles out there, it will be almost impossible to guess which guitar will make them happy. Brands to check out for custom guitars include Fender and Parker.

Exclusive Brands

Certain brands, such as Fender, Gibson, and Parker have multiple styles that appeal to the experienced guitar player. So what does a guitar player with a lot of experience desire in a guitar? That completely depends on personal preferences, the style of music they play, etc. One that that remains consistent is that these players require an instrument that is well made and sounds good. These brands deliver.

How to Choose

The best way to choose the right guitar is to involve the guitar player as much as possible. If they favor Parker guitars and you get them a Gibson, then they would not be happy with the purchase no matter how good the Gibson is supposed to be. You will also do your own research. Read product reviews, talk to other guitar players, and test some of the guitars. Or if you do not play, go with the guitar player you are buying the gift for and watch them test the guitars out. The only way to really tell if a guitar will work is by testing it. Every guitar made play differently even when they are the exact same model and brand. To know which guitar is exceptional requires a experienced touch.

I want to buy an electric guitar, and a nice one. And I just need suggestions.

i think they are ok guitars, but they arent the best on my opinion by a long shot. here’s why.

Gibson - they are way overpriced. They are good guitars, but they arent worth 2500 bucks. I would think about buying a les paul if it was like 600, but its not even worth that much. they are also 5 piuunds or so more than any other guitar i have used. and, on top of all that, everyone i know wants one like its their life dream!

Fender - I am not as critical about these guys. they are cheaper priced, but their quality has gone down in the passing years. now a good majority of rtheir guitars are made in mexico and to my stanards many of them barely pass as a starter guitar. i do like the telecaster series-the ones with the humbucker pickups, not singles. i do not like that everyone thinks this is the best brand out there.

now i have to admit the vintage guitars from eachof these brands are probably amazing. i have not tried a vintage but i hear a lot of good stuff about them.

anyway what would I reccomend? i have never had a bad experience with an ibenez guitars (aside from the starter guitar, or the gio series (same thing)) they are made solid and as long as you dont throw it against a wall or anything the paint job wont chip. i reccomend this guitar, and i can honestly say that is the best guitar i have ever played.

the only problem with that guitar is the middle pickup gets in the way, but thats the way i play.
