flying v or les paul?

[bassist_k]

im more of a bassist actually, but ive been practicing my guitar hard enough and decided to pamper myself with a better axe now. i currently own an epi SG and it isnt the best, but i wont disappoint me at all.

im looking at the epiphone flying v and the epiphone lp custom in alphine white.

i play more of pop rock and soft rock, but go into more classic stuff lyk GnR and motley crue once in a while.

which shd i get?

thanks in advance!

The LP.... more player friendly...

Actually... what's wrong with your current model?

Are the other 2 epiphones a step up from your current guitar?

 

[bassist_k]

lol yea a step up, cos cny's coming, got extra cash wad! LOL

ive been thinking of the flying v for months alr, but its user-friendliness isnt something its famous for, in fact, many complaint that its not a good guitar to practice on, but the lp custom could cost more la....

since you already own a humbucking guitar- why not try single coils this time?

 

[deathism]

yes...its a good idea to wander off into the singles arena..frankly..i would myself..










its no wonder why my next target is a telecaster. :lol:

 

[subversion]

personally, i enjoy playing the tele more than its strat sibling 8)

 

[deathism]

hahahah sub...i've never played a strat before,.

 

[subversion]

you might wanna check a strat out some time 8)

 

[deathism]

damn it..wad am i saying?!

i mean..i've never played a tele before...


pardon me. :lol:

 

[subversion]

ok i see... people tend to avoid the tele because there's a general notion that it's only good for 1 genre only- country music. but let's not segue 8)

 

[deathism]

my ex guitarist used his telecaster for rock and heavy metal...


and obviously it surprised me at the capabilities of the guitar. :lol:


only that he was using stock pickups..so under high gain..it did sound harsh..its an MIM telecaster..no idea wad model..didnt ask him..

 

[subversion]

he's in league with me then, i;m using mine for black metal

 

[gsonique]

wow nice ...looks like its not much used

 

[subversion]

picture can be deceiving... Beez has swapped pots/ pickup selectors for me at least 3X...

 

[gsonique]

just kidding :lol:

btw the fella from Isis uses a TELE ...actually he kinda gets carried away ann abuses it :lol:

 

[deathism]

bro sub..why the pots and selector had to be replaced so many times?

 

[subversion]

jammed/ stiff due to oxidation (sweat, can't be helped...)

 

[deathism]

hee...hardcore.. :supz:

Metal with a Tele??

 

[subversion]

Root's tele is under personal specs; it's also a subsequent switch. there are more metal strat fans than there are tele- but there are out there nevertheless...
