guitar dilemma

[Arsony]

I had to read this like 5 times before I understood wtf you were saying man... Whahahahaha...

Err... I still don't understand but anyway..... I have a PRS Tremonti SE and I loved it very much. If you play hard rock and you like the Creed and AlterBridge sound like I do, then you are better off with a PRS in general. I'm very impressed with the SE series of PRS because for a so-called budget series , it sounds very decent and not too far off from the real thing. Really value for money. And the tone..... oohhh yeah.... that's why I'm just waiting to get my hands on a Dual Rectifier and the saga is complete! Chugga x2 baby!!!

The other good thing about the Tremonti SE I notice is that it is not only light but it's well balanced. It is also very hardy. For those reasons, I used it mainly for gigs and it has since served me well.

But like most people here say, it's true that you have to handle, play and listen to the guitars in question. Trust nothing other than your hands and ears. And btw, forget about the Telecaster la... especially the Squier series.... cos it sounds sucky. No difference than getting say.... another China made copy say... Stagg for instance. Unless you plan to be like my ex-vocalist la ... whole day can sing Beatles, CCR and country songs.

Heh heh... guess I stepped on some raw nerve here eh? No la... I think it really boils down on personal taste and musical influences... I mean let's face it , if you list down any guitar for that matter, you'll have a great guitarist that uses em... right?

SWEET ...cant wait to see the pix & write up..

BTW - give a super pro muso a $150 samick and a newbie a $20 0000 Fender custom shop axe - which one gonna sound better? I've played alotta axes in my life ... I'd say its 90% all in the fingers ...

Hmm.. did you try the wider straps for your les paul? Makes the weight more bearable since you're already keen on the tone.

I did feel the singlecuts SE to be a bit more rigid in general as compared to the doublecuts while shopping for one for my friend. Just sounded stale and lifeless.

Anyway Mark Tremonti of Creed and Alterbridge uses PRS, so the choice should be obvious if that's the tone you're after.

I think the John 5 telecaster handles heavy gain well enough though =)
