should i get me another guitar?

[Carlström]

well?


I got this acoustic Takamine that i can't get sold, but i could use it to trade in at the musicstore



but....what do i need? I don't like telecasters so that's out of the question, but other than that i'm open for suggestions

I don't like telecasters so that's out of the question

it would help to know what type of music you want to play.....having said that....les paul

[Cranium]

What is there exept the strat?

 

[Lev]

Any of the PRS SE series!! Affordable Gems (you may just need to upgrade the tuners on them but apart from that they rock!)

I have a Santana SE which I like alot but I found this demo on youtube of the Singlecut SE. I guess it depends on what kind of tones you are looking for though.

[warren0728]

wow....nice collection....not sure but is there a 335 type guitar in that list (i'm not familiar with all of your models)

ww

 

[Carlström]

Yes the PRS SE series is REALLY a good idea, i'm gonna check those out for sure

 

[Carlström]

the DeArmond is my thin jazzbox so 335 style is covered

ok...cool...just curious....what is it about the tele that you don't like....

ww

 

[Carlström]

they just feel wrong to me. i guess it's a combination of bodyshape and neckprofile etc.

 

[warren0728]

you could always shake it up and get a resonator type guitar and experiment with open tunings and playing slide...it's a lot of fun

ww

 

[Carlström]

hmmm that does sound interesting aswell

 

[Tone2TheBone]

You could totally rock out on a Tele trust me.

I'm with Warren...get a Les Paul.

 

[Lev]

This post has given me an attack of G.A.S!!

I want one of these!

[Katastrophe]

Well, you have a pretty well rounded collection, but here's what I'm thinking:

Fender or Squier Stratocaster: TONS of variety there, in almost any pup combination you could ask for. Accessories and aftermarket parts available everywhere. Don't count out the Squiers. As our esteemed Spudman can tell you, they are of solid quality nowadays, and are easy (and cheap) to modify to your liking. I've played one recently, and it stood out as a great guitar for the price, and I actually liked it better than the MIM Fender I played before as well.


Epiphone LP Goldtop with P90s: Nelskie has one that just looks stunning, and P90s have a sound all their own.

Lev: GAS is way contagious here. Guard your wallet with your life!

 

[Carlström]

Keep the suggestions coming

 

[Carlström]

Well when it comes to strats i'm not interested in those either. But that's because my Godin is for me the ultimate strat, it just can't get any better than that. So if i were to get a stratstyle guitar i very likely would never play it but only play my godin.

 

[Carlström]

the PRS SE Single cut is damn tempting.....i just might have to buy one. Gonna try and sell my acoustic for a little bit longer...if it sells i'll buy one of 'em....if it doesn't sell i'll buy one of them and trade the acoustic in.

but since i'm giving it some more time suggestions are still most welcome

 

[fender tele]

Telecasters.....feel.....wrong!?!?!!?
And I suppose your mother didn't feel like a mother!?!?!?!?

Ok, just kidding.

Ok....never saw what your price limit was, so.....

Gibson or Epi Firebird
Gibson or Epi SG
Rickenbacker...anything.....how bout a 12?

There's always upgrades to other things...
Do you sing? I recommend the EV ND 767. Blows away a Shure 58 IMO.

 

[Carlström]

yeah i do sing, or something similar to it anyway. but nah not serious enough to need an upgrade on the equipment.

the reason me not saying my pricerange is because prices are so different over here in sweden...if i were to say my limit is 1000 USD you would come with suggestions that are under 1000 USD where you are but might be close to 2000usd here (sad i know)

thanks for the suggestions

 

[Lev]

I hear ya! Us Europeans pay way too much!
And vintage instruments/amps are almost impossible to get hold of (except maybe in the UK).

Carlstrom, have you tried www.thomann.de - usually have the best prices in Europe.

 

[Tinky-Winky]

I second the Rickenbacker suggestion - they have a completely unique sound and in my opinion look beautiful.
