what do i buy?

Post by Rusty »

Alright if i get a job and start making some money which one of these two things that i want should i buy first? A kickass electric guitar so my acoustic doesn't have to feel so lonley, or do i buy a home gym to keep my gorgoues body in shape some more, even though when school starts again i'll be able to monopolize its weight room. I hope i did the poll right btw if i didn't just add your answer in a post

Think about it... What's the point of living a few years longer if you accumulate more than a few year's time working in the gym?

Hmm... Depends on your taste.

Some good guitars for the airy-pocketed:

Ibanez
Epiphone (made by the same design as Gibson guitars, but factory-made rather than hand-made. lessened quality, but very lessened price. still great quality, though)

There's really tonnes of stuff. Your best bet is probably to go to your local guit shop, and ask someone there what they would recommend. However, be sure to come back a few times and ask different people, so you get some different suggestions and perspectives on it. :nod:

My first relatively good guitar was an Ibanez GSA20, and it treated me well for a good many years. I think it cost me $300...? Maybe more.

I recently upgraded to one of the best Epiphones: http://www.epiphone.com/default.asp?Pro ... ectionID=6
It cost be about $1000, including my trade-in. But most Epiphones are much cheaper.

BC Rich are amazingly good guitars, but you have to be super Rich (get it? Rich! get it? get it!?!) to buy one.
