Second Guitar

[niteblade]

Admit it or not. many of us do not know much about tone when we're buying our first guitars. most probably we picked it because of price/shape/colour

but after playing for awhile. Many of us find deficiencies in our guitars and decide to upgrade (unless youre one of those rich kids which starts learning with a Gibson)
With what tone we have in mind now, we buy our 2nd guitar!

maybe you guys can tell us why you made the decision

my second guitar is a epi iommi sg! i got it mainy cos it had high output gibson pickups which i loved at first hear and i totally dug the cross inlay's

tonally it couldnt compare to a lespaul in terms of sustain but i decided that since i'd be gigging quite often. the sg would suit me better as its way lighter ( my two of my arms put side by side is equivalent to my lead guitarist's arm)

My second guit is a MIM fender strat.

Well, influenced from my bro. I like strats. haha.

Sunbursts are hottttttt. hotttttt. hotttttt.

then modified it with dimarzio pickups and etc etc like what my bro did. haha. but my bro converted back to his old pups. lol

i suggest if u're getting a 2nd guitar test out a couple of different brand guitars before buying one.

 

[celahircelebrindal]

Yeah i remember the time when i invested in my first "expensive" guitar that i could afford....and that was after 8 cheap guitars including some 2nd hand that i experimented with(like trying out different brands of pickups and electronics)....LMAO.......then after that the guitars i bought got much more costlier and costlier....

 

[HarrisonYeo]

sooo wad do u have now lol

 

[subversion]

i bought my 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th... 26th & 27th guitar because it inspires me to play differently when i pick it up.

KEVIN. WHAT. HOW COULD YOU. Single coils are the holy grail. hahaha.

I hope i can get a well playing job to support my hobbies.... then ill have a sizable amount of guits in the future. haha.

Actually my latest addition (bought early '07) is the YJM as in my avatar...

 

[leecs]

i came to realise metal is not all the way. so i picked up a 2nd guitar, a strat for blues & other genres.

Almost the same as you bro.. I wanted something with humbuckers for a fatter, creamier tone..
And the SG is known for the SG crunch! Was deciding between a MIM Fender Satin Strat and a Epi Faded G-400..
Ended up buying the epi for the tone, feel and look and also cause I already had a single-coiled equipped guitar!

The IC-400's my 2nd guitar, and it will be my main guitar in the forseeable future. Though i'm planning on getting something like a dean VMNT as a workhorse guitar cus the IC-400s now outta production and i wanna keep it as pristine as i can.

I forgot what my 2nd guitar was...

 

[Dime]

must have had too many guitars to remember.hopefully not a hello kitty strat.

When I got my 2nd guitar, the Hello Kitty strat was still just an inconceived idea...

actually to tell u the truth, i only learn 3 chords that time when i bought my first guitar so i was at sv buying a stratocaster i think u guys heard of it called timbre but i wasnt pratically liking the whole thing so i tried diff guitars in his shop though knowing 3 chords taht time but is all up to ur ears to liek it what i like about the timbre was neck not so thick quite thin actaulyy alder wood not so heavy sound,tone thats all and i didnt regret lols
but now due to wanting more tone moved on with other guitars

celahircelebrindal: Where u got ur YJM strat from? CIJ or MIA?

 

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

I started my electric journey with a humbucker guitar, a B.C. Rich Mockingbird, but it just didn't speak to me. I ended up trading it away in exchange and top-up for a Epi G-400 before getting myself a telecaster. Literally worlds apart in terms of sound, feel, character etc. but I suppose that's why my 3rd guitar is a Strat mongrel with H-S pickup config... best of both worlds.

Its the MIA one bro....'07 model as the neck mounting is machine screw mounting type.The pickup selector is 3 way not 5 way switch like most MIA Fender......was set-up recently courtesy of Kaycee.Excellent job bro!!
