The overall feel felt better (to me anyway). I havent been able to put it down since getting it, I still cant get over the weight - I always thought they were heavy guitars until last week.

Just picked up my new SG last weekend - I tried a Les too but it did nothing for me at all...

Thanks for the replies. The person Im talking about has a sort of 'holier than thou' attitude about himself and will not accept that you cannot appreciate a musical instrument without understanding music theory. He teaches piano and I will admit knows his subject very well but I cannot stand his...

Someone who can read music and has studied it for years looks down there nose at you because you learn from tabs\videos?

What are the pro's and cons of getting a combo amp over a non-combo (head and cabinet) amp? I assume you can swap and change cabinets going for the non-combo option? Also, lets say you but a 300w head, does that mean you need a cab capable of handling 300w? Cheers

I suppose im at the intermediate stage, I did a bit of playing years ago and returned last year. I havent the slightest idea how to read music (is it worth learning?) and read entirely from tab \ video instruction, to be honest I'd be lost without it. Im learning the pentatonic scale right now...

Cheers ZMAN, I tried a studio last year but didnt do much for me, like yourself I would prefer the standard. At the moment its looking like a fender because of the headstock problem.

Hi all, Im in the market for a new guitar and cannot decide between a deluxe strat or a les standard. I already have a highway 1 strat which I intend to trade for the new guitar. 1)If I buy the deluxe strat will it feel like getting my old one back again? (Better parts I know, but will it...

Thanks for the info, will check those out. Guinness t-shirts are in the post!

Hi folks, Can anyone recommend a good amp for blues\light rock? Im looking for something along the lines of Eric Clapton\Mark Knopfler tone. I dont need something that will blow a house down (need to consider the neighbours!) but something with a decent punch under the hood when...

Ive had a valvetronix for the last year or so and I have yet too see another amp that offers better value for money. Ok - the effects are not anything to write home about but they do the job if your jamming with friends or practising at home, my favourite is the flanger mixed with a bit of...

Nice machine there Robert! Im in the market for a strat myself - will probably go a deluxe, (would love a Pensa though!) Cheers

Ive got an AD50VT, the only thing I notice using pedals is that the tone is very much affected if you use cheap pedals (could be true for all amps?) Cheers

True, but I already have a beautiful lady: http://elderly.com/fmic/items/FADTS-ACB-MPL.htm Gonna get me a nice fender tube amp istead.

Hi all, Well I have decided not to go for it in the end, I think Im gonna stick with uncle Leo for the time being. After some serious thought Ive decided that they are just too expensive (especially here in Ireland).

Folks - thanks for all the info and replies, still have more homework to do!

Thank you!

Hi folks, Been a while since Ive been here,I hope your all well! Ive decided to take the plunge and buy myself a Les Paul. The only two things in the way are all the recent reports of bad build quality and also which model to get? Im a loyal Fender man but would like a genuine LP in...

Hi, Does anyone know of any good articles on playing 'clawhammer' style, something similar to Mark Knopfler? Cheers

Im a huge Summers fan and it was him that influenced me to buy my last guitar (deluxe tele) but there is no way i would pay that much for what is essentially the same thing! I would love to know how much the profit margin is?
