hey everyone. im going to go straight to the point.
i've got my eyes on two guitars recently, which i tried at swee lee.
the ibanez GSA60 gave me the nice lead tone i wanted and really warm
sounding clean tones when i played some chords. but it couldn't really
get the crunchy tone i wanted from the humbucker (its a S-S-H) while
dishing out some power chords. the price is cheap, 320 according to the
SL salesman. but, its available in blue only, and it looks kinda gay to me!
i also tried the epi vintage faded g400. the thing is.. im a sucker for SGs!!
wanted one from last time. tonewise, it was better than other epi SGs in
terms of clean, and distortion is as crisp as ever. the overall feel was
better compared to the GSA60, and it sure looks mighty wicked! the prob
is that its 740 (according to the website).. and i can't really afford it now..
so if i were to get this i might get it during the year-end sale. (and i really
REALLY want the worn cherry version!!)
other alternatives would be to check out schecter guitars or get seymour
duncan pickups for my current guitar. i've had my eyes on the dual rail
set (250 bucks, at davis) for a lil 59, duckbuckers and jb. jr.
my current set up is a Silvertone SS11 Revolver (S-S-S). the tone is actually
quite awesome and the set up is perfect for me. but... i find that the
pick-ups aren't that responsive as i want it to be. cant really hold those
notes.
im running it through my Zoom G2.1u. love the pedal. can make any guitar
sound like heaven! can get anything from blues to metal, nice clean and
awesome reverb.
and lastly.. my amp is a Samick SS-10. i like the clean on this and the
overdrive can be warm, but turned up a lil too high and it gets muddy.
i've been playing guitar for two years only but i do like to try complex stuff..
i play muse, oasis, metallica, eric clapton, satriani (try to), neil zaza,
creed, guns n roses, etc. you get my point. i try everything. -_-
basically, i want something that can handle blues, to rock and roll and
metal! i need your help on this one guys?
p.s. might swee lee mid year sale include the sg?
