Should I get another guitar or..?

[faizal_rocks]

Hi dudes

My gear is below..I`m happy with my Squier Standard Strat with 3 single coils, but as of late, I`m leaning more towards the classic hard rock n thus, I need humbucker tones. I`m thinking of installing a single-coil size humbucker in both the neck n bridge positions of my Strat n install coil split OR I could just get another guitar with humbuckers(looking at the Squier `51 currently), but the thing is I find it a hassle maintaining 2 guitars. Which is more costly? The 1st or the 2nd option? Which is more worth it in the long run? Really in a dilemma..

I appreciate ur inputs : )

Thanks

i'd get a new guitar for a different tone

IMO you are better off with a humbucking/ set-neck guitar; something different for your tonal palette.

 

[deathism]

i agree with sub..i might get anuder guitar with all single coils...after i settle certain stuff.since i already got a double humbucking guitar.

i tink if u can afford it..get anuder guitar.so that u can have the best of both world..not literally best.but..i tink u noe wad i mean..

get another one...I have a strat and a yamaha humbcker guitar..maintenance is secondary to getting the tone u want... they are my wives, never find it a chore to maintain them :lol:

 

[bin4christ]

faizal bro, i notice on ur friendster (btw add me leh!) page u've owned a lot of guitars eh?

why izit a hassle maintaining guitars?

[subversion]

why is a guitar difficult to maintain- i don't quite get this... :?:

 

[edder]

get that Duncan 3 set pickup package from Davis. Lil59/some singlecoil/JbJr.

Best bang for the buck pickup set.

Hmm.

Guitars take effort to maintain. It's just that to some the ritual or chore of cleaning up, etc may take longer than 2 hours? I personally cover up the body with a t-shirt to prevent dust from accumulating on the guitar when it is resting on the stand. I only give my guitars a serious go-over with body cleaner once every 2-3 weeks, or if and when I change strings.

But back to the topic... i own 2 guitars with either axes having dedicated Humbucker and Single-coils.. either H-H or S-S. It relieves me of boredom when I switch from one axe to the other. Pleanty of tone to play around with.

Recently fell in love (again) with the tone of my Telecaster through the double muff 8)

^^^ a die die must go ur place and rape ur guitars!!!!

 

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

^^^ Please bring condom, I poor boy only cannot afford to clean up all the jizz with my mediocre bottle of guitar polish :lol: :lol: :lol:

Next week man! Either that or you drop by my workplace this Sunday :wink:

 

[wyldeboon]

WAH!!! jam at ur workplace ah? lol...



sori to hijack thread...

err...get a new guitar wif diff specs bla bla... at least sumtink new to the collection

 

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

hehe not on my first day!!

Here's my take...

Why don't I have many guitars?

My Ibanez was modded to bits, 2 humbuckers, each with a 3-way toggle for series, coil split and parallel operation. Why didn't I just go buy a strat for single coil stuff?

Reason is quite simple... I can't stand possessing a guitar that is seldom played. It irks the life out of me... its like putting a relationship on hold you know what I mean?

So when I had an RG7621, I got really annoyed with myself, 7621 was left untouched!

And now... the USACG is in so the existance of my Ibanez is threatened. I do not see a point to have multiple guitars!

 

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

^^ Agreed.. so the thousand-dollar (literally) question is:

Should he mod his axe for tonal variation, or should he buy another guitar to get an entirely different humbucker-toned workhorse?

 

[wyldeboon]

maybe to some ppl they like to collect

 

[Jiterator]

you might wanna check out the Seymour Duncan SSL4 Quarter Pounders for ur strat.. same pickups that Ritchie Blackmore used back in Deep Purple and Rainbow.. nice full sound, and a very high output too.. best thing is that they're single coils, so they fit nicely on ur strat.

 

[subversion]

if you mod your current workhore- tone changes but feel remains the same...

 

[edder]

:lol: workhore

but i absolutely agree.

been so used to my Washburn HB30, no other guitars can cop the same feel.

 

[subversion]

ok... workhorse.

the one offering paid carnal pleasure isn't a hore, neither is it a horse. :smt018
