Look at it this way, I have a darn big thing against Les Pauls because they are not shreddable. I also have a thing against Gibson because they're horrendously overrated. Gimme a Jackson select series anyday.

Yo bro..my les paul seemed shred-friendly tho..i could work more with it than an ibanez..but erm..mayb it's own preferences?

LadyInTears, chill, sit down, take a break and drink some coke. The 'O' level stress is getting to you eh? Give the kid a break, I'm 13 myself, and I know the excitement of getting a cool new guitar. Heck, if I was bored enough, I'd spam my friends of the great news of me getting a gibson. Hell, I don't mine having one. Give the guy a break man, he isn't flaunting, he's just clearing his doubts. Soft is all about helping, no? Sure it's pretty stupid to post NAPFA results and train, ok, it's pretty dumb. But he doesn't have the experience yet, he hasn't gotten the guitar yet. He is clueless. Give him time and let him try carrying himself, then he would know. Same thing bout the gigging thing and about coming up with a Gibson and playing crap, who are you to tell him never to do that? If he's stubborn, let him learn himself, it's none of your business if he gets bottled or stoned, then he would learn from his lesson. Let him explore and adventure. I'm very proud to see his passion, the passion that I once had, and it's great to reminicse. You don't need to be Mr. Critical and point out all the obvious, there is no point doing that. Who profits? No one. You hurt his feelings, and make a hoo ha, how does this benefit anyone? Sometimes it's better to say none when you have no good to say. Get what I mean, bro? I mean, you had that passion once right? Everyone here had that burning passion, and love for guitar, am I right? And to the threadstarter, there was seriously no point posting all your NAPFA results or tell us about your experience carrying 10 kg basses.

To both ladyintears and threadstarter, shut it if you have nothing positive or productive to say. My 2 cents worth.

Cheers,
WWH

hahahahaha.....

we were all 13 years old once upon a time too.

if there was a forum or internet back when I was 13, i would have posted a thread too about my happininess of owning an expensive awesome guitar. but then, how many 13 years old kids can afford $2k back in 1984?....hehehe. all i had was a $25 kapok guitar saved from my hari raya collection money....hahaha.

which leads me to: hey ts, maybe you should get a kapok, its made of plywood afterall, sure can carry for a whole day one, no problem.

give the kid a break. its his money. he can afford it.let him be proud about owning a piece of rock legend....hehe. maybe, if he cant make it works, he gives up guitaring and might sell off that 'awesome' guitar of his to us for a good price. we all win, he lose, but that's his problem.

what i said earlier still stand, all of us can play, but it takes a special breed of people who has the dedication and drive to make it a source of living.to eat, drink and sleep music.that's why some of us are pros.some not....shrug... some of us can do it, some dont. if everyone is good, the world's will have a surplus of rock guitar gods..... no fun....

 

[reez_rock]

You guys are so lucky...I haven't even play a guitar when I was 13

wow thats being friendly. given a choice, would you get a gibson at 3k or get something else, more economical yet better, while shedding the brand name? take time to ponder, this is my point, i just dont see why you guys actually can tolerate this stupidity in this thread,

 

[TidesOfBlood]

i am not directing this at any individual.

if you can't tolerate the stupidity of the thread, then don't patronise the thread. i'm not asking you to bugger off, neither is this a nicer way of telling you to piss off. it IS just practical of you not to bother about something which you've labelled stupid in the first place.

i'm not being a boy scout or being a moderator wannabe, but the silly and needless exchanges which have been going back and forth on this thread (and the others created by the same threadstarter) have gone on long enough. that none of the moderators have taken any action (i'm dangerously assuming because they haven't made it public that they're monitoring or taken any action) is letting many of us get away with blue murder. so please, to all the haters, flamers, trolls and whatever forum jargon you can conjure up with, if it isn't contributing anything productive or fruitful to the issue at hand, you're better off not being arsed about the thread at all.

leave it those who have the patience and tolerance.

i agree. purchasing an expensive guitar as your first instrument, is just unbelieveable. why not start with a lower end guitar?

it says much about the ts (a young boy, yes, but an ignorant one) about his priorities about guitaring.

the sad thing is, he is not alone. i've seen guitarists (beginners or otherwise) with such expensive guitars and gears and their multi-effects(mountains of them). took forever to set up on stage, and gave shit music at the end of it.

shrug.... is said it before and i say it again, not everyone can be a muician, no matter how hard you wish. (or how deep their pockets)

i don't see anything wrong with starting with an expensive guitar, hell I'd kill to have started with an expensive gibson. I think that'll make him practice more, so as to ' live up to the guitar. '

Who are you to judge if one guitar's better than another, sure both will have it's pros and cons, but ultimately, it all boils down to personal choice.

 

[Hydrofly]

If it was a singlecut, I'd either get a gibson or a PRS. That being said, I'd rather spend that 3k on a jackson select series.

To threadstarter : Since you're paying such a cool sum of money on that guitar, you better make sure your playing's worth as much as the guitar.

 

[jskadiang]

i think there are people who would rather get the gibson for 3000 bucks than anything else, because they think it's good? it's called opinion, and yours is that gibsons are way too expensive for the quality it delivers. but i'm sure there are lots of people here who would beg to differ. and if his budget allows it, i don't see why he can't start out with any guitar he wishes, count it as him being fortunate.

bro plastic, if that makes him practise like hell to better himself to justify the brand name of his guitar, more power to him, bro. he has a lot to live for then.

however, it seems like he is showing off his purchase without knowing anything about guitaring. most softies here are quite upset about that fact.

we all love to own an expensive guitar or two. but only when the ends justify the means. unless you are a guitar collector, in which case, i will shut up. im not judging his guitar choice. im doubting his priority, him being a beginner.

me? im a nobody, my friend.. only has 27 years of guitar playing experience. 25 years of those as a pro.

my working guitar is a mexican strat 1992 that cost me just US$299.....

hehe, threadstarter has pwned us deep deep with this thread.

wheres the love(yes its love, not the censored F word)

 

[FREEKILL9566]

LadyInTears, you're right, but it's his problem. You don't have to dig it at him, sometimes learning it the hard way is the only way of learning. It's his money, he has the guitar, he can show it off all he wants. It's his money, his guitar, what right have you to intefere? I won't be touching on this topic anymore, to prevent to make myself look like an idiot.

yea i always wanted a jackson
okay, im sorry if my tone wnt across wasnt friendly, but well, thats what i think.
im concerned at the fact that being a first guitar, it is a tidy sum of money, what if he loses interest?
cheers.

hehehehe...... yup, he does.

man, let's stop here. else this will become a slanging, which will leave all of us looking stupid.

cheers guys. im here to share my experiences. my nick is my name. please feel free to post anything if you need musical advise. im very willing to share what i have.

i shan't say anything anymore about this post.... else, i dig a hole too deep for me to get out......hahahaha.

 

[Godspeed64]

Gibsons are good! But fussying over one is not! :mrgreen:

 

[Hydrofly]

yea i always wanted a jackson

Have fun finding a second hand one... Most jackson owners won't let their jacksons go for anything.

 

[zax]

i agree with plastic about the part where its okay to start with a high end guitar cause it kinda drives you to practice more and jskadiang , The quality of a Gibson is unmatched if you know how to choose one .
