Davve Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 since this thread is a lil about music and I'm so happy that I need to show this to someone. I bought a new guitar today and I love it, if anyone out there is searching for a good not too expensive guitar, I really recommend this Epiphone G400 Picture http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/shop_image/p...dff1685bcda.jpg I love the old school look with the wood, it's mahogny which makes the sound stay long and and stay great (sorry if this is in wrong forum but I didn't know where to post it really....)

Artur Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Pretty nice guitar. I've been meaning to get an electric guitar for a while now but never got around to it. Need to save some money or wait until my birthday. I like the look of yours, good luck playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) I'm not keen on the look, but I think Epiphone's guitars sound quite nice. Edited February 15, 2008 by Connor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davve Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'm happy you like it and btw: I didn't thought I'd get a reply at all but it seems like we have some guitarists in this page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas. Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 It looks quite good even though I prefer Black/White/Red Colours. I'm not a guitar fan (Apart from Bass (I have a bass)) but that is one impressive guitar. I hope you can play it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNF Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 That's really nice, the colour looks good with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can play it, I wouldn't buy it if I couldn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas. Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Some people don't bother to think if they can play that instrument or not. Thats why I waited before I got one and learned how to play the Bass Guitar and Keyboard at school, then I bought them. I haven't got an Electric Guitar but if I was to choose I wouldn't pick that effect but maybe a Black/Yellow and White/Red combination if you can choose multiple colours on an Electric Guitar.

Slayer Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I really like the 4 tone/volume controls, that's pretty rare to find. And the body seems to be well made, tho if I'd go shopping, I wouldn't buy something like that for myself. I'd prolly go for something Ibanez furious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Pretty much a Gibson. Just more affordable. I do like Gibsons and Epiphones. I also have a fondness of the Ibanez Iceman... Like Daron's pretty wicked Iceman... I love that guitar. I have two acoustic guitars at home, and a BC Rich Warlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas. Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 That guitar what Spaz posted is a little bit awesome. I actually quite like the guitar what Spaz posted. Anyway, I really want an Electric Guitar but my parents won't allow it because they think it would be too loud which is Bull because you can actually adjust the volume on Modern Equipment.

Connor Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I have to always unplug mine, seems that everyone wants to fucking sleep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilly Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I have a Gibson SG, its great. I also have an Epiphone Sheraton, which is okay, pickups not so good. And my newest guitar is an Ernie Ball Musicman John Petrucci, Mystic Dream paint. Don't ask the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All men play on ten Or, y'know, turn it off/unplug it. Not very good, electric unplugged sounds more like an acoustic so not good when playing anything distorted. I'd say stick to the acoustic in case you have to always keep quiet, no need to say it sounds much better than electric unplugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Yea, I have some headphones, it's just not the same though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilly Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 it should be the same, maybe even better. less buzz and less feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 It's just not the same, it doesn't pound the sound out the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilly Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 So, you really need to have "pounding sound"? Just play in the garage then. I think headphones give a good clean sound, even when the tone is heavy. I use my computer for guitar though. I think its much better that way. I can record straight in without any use of mics or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His complaint was the noise bothering his family, so that's the solution. Distortion would be definitely out of the question. And the acoustic would probably be too loud, also. You can play the electric unplugged and still hear the tone and know whether or not you're playing correctly. You can still play distorted stuff, you just won't have the distortion. If you're imaginative enough, it won't dampen your practice and/or experience. Besides, he doesn't have one, which means he PROBABLY doesn't know how to play yet, which means distortion is entirely meaningless to him right now. Just ignore distortion, or any effect, until you can play a bit. It will just mess you up. There's NO need to have effects until you can play something to use them on.

Not really, acoustic (when played with fingers) is really quiet. As quiet as an electric unplugged. But acoustic can be quite louder when using a pick. Unlike the electric one, lacking the acoustic box. And there is one important thing about acoustic guitars - the strings are harder to press and less tolerant to bad pressing, thus require better playing technique. So it's a great start. All the people I know that pwn electric guitars these days have started on acoustic first, developing a much better technique. Not to mention acoustics are good for playing to your friends from time to time. SO yeah, if he's new, I strongly require an acoustic for a start, atleast for a few months so he develops a decent technique. Or if you wish to skip that step just go to the garage and turn the volume up . Oh, and distortion comes into play very soon, pretty much all of it are power chords which are easy to learn.
