yes it is what it really looks like, u can dismantle it for easy shipping and such on trips too. it only weighs lke 5 pounds. and sounds great when u plug it in to an amp or put the headphones on.

Not sure yet. When my paycheck comes (due the stupidity of Financial Aid and the Employment office, I haven't gotten paid for all of summer and the beginning of this semester), it will total close to $1750.......I factored out taxes and expenses (books and stuff that my mom paid for)......and I think I will have $1000 left over. Of course, I will not be putting all of it toward an electric, so I figure I will spend no more than $500. Since the next payday isn't until Halloween, I'm gonna go "window shopping" and test drive as many electrics as possible. Since I only own 6 and 12 string acoustics, I figured that the more research (as I like to call it) I do, the better chance I have of buying something really nice.
Any suggestions that you think I should try out? I'm looking for your run-of-the-mill electric. Nothing bluesy like a Gibson, or punkish..........just an electric to learn on.

if you play your cards right, then you can probably get a gibson sg gothic like tims for about what you're willing to pay. that's not ordinary. it is a gibson, yes, but not 'bluesy'. that's really my only suggestion.
 $799. zakk wylde's les paul custom.
 $2150. my favorite guitar. come on, you can afford this one. gibson sg supreme with '57 humbuckers.
 $579. gibson sg special faded.
 $349. esp ltd v-100. hey, you wanted different.
 $779. noel gallagher archtop union jack supernova. for the uk in all of us.
 $499. pierced epiphone sg. i like this way more than i should.
maybe that will give you a good baseline. |

I really could use a drooling smilie right about now. 
BTW, does ESP even make guitars anymore, or are they all LTDs, aside from the ESP Custom Shop that is?

Ooooooohhhhhhhhh.....am SG Gothic! That would be kewl! I'll try that one out. I figured that since TIM had it, it probably cost in the $1000s........and the SG Sumpreme and Special look nice too.........I'll get the Supreme just because I have over 2 grand to spend.

Wow.......an 8 stringed guitar. How much would that cost?
.....and I found this........I'm obviously not going to buy a guitar on ebay, but this shows the price range.......http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=912715560

my brother (dickmountjoy on the board)has the SG, and i have the studio gothic. i like the studio better, just cuz i dont like how the jack is placed on teh sg's. also it is top heavy, but better in the total weight cuz studio gibsons weigh a good 20 lbs or so maybe. im not good at judging weight. but the studio gothics cost about the same as sg's.

Damn, that is one gigantic mandolin.
I have the Gothic Les Paul also, modified with EMGs, but I want to get those Black Diamond strings for it, so it will be solid black, down to the strings.

pcbdmb, you started looking yet? I got a guitar off ebay with no problems, so you might consider that after all. If you can get one for $300 (an SG gothic, that is) then go for it. If you don't like it, just resell it, no problem.
Line, those are great guitars, by the way. Except for the Les Paul, but even that's redeemend by the fact that it's Zakk Wylde's. Don't know about the British one, tho. And for that matter, the Flying V is kinda silly. I guess you could say that I just like the SGs that you picked. |

Actually, I'm home for the weekend, so I decided to go to Guitar Center tomorrow and try some stuff out. I'll let you know what the results are. And I might check out the ebay thing after I have a general idea of what I want. |

MAN, that Gibson SG Supreme is one hot guitar.
Yeah, I just got a cheap 6 string acoustic (Sigma Martin) off ebay. There were no problems with it. It was advertised as "new" but the pickguard had obviously been played on a little. But it was no big deal. The transaction went down fine, and there have been no problems with the guitar since. And I have to say, I'd probably be more confident buying an electric on ebay, since the actual body has less to do with the actual sound than on an acoustic. (I know people will disagree with me on that, but that's ok).
So at least give it a looking at. Buy from someone with a good rating, and all that crap. It can be good for all involved. |

OK. I went to Guitar Center, and I've decided between three guitars. They are......
The Fender Stratocaster
the Ibanez AX 1220
or the Ibanez RG 470

| I'm leaning towards the Ibanez because the Fender Strat is just too commercial. Almost everyone who owns an electric has a Fender Strat. I want the AX 1220, but I don't know what it costs.....so if it's too expensive I will most likely go with the RG 470. |

It's well documented how I feel about the first one (and I'm going to say nothing about it here because someone would no doubt say how narrowminded I am...rrrr...) But the other two look cook. I probably lean toward the one you liked best, too. And since that's an Ibanez, it'll probably be in your range.
Ah, just found it on musiciansfriend.com
Ibanez Ax 1220 List 999.99, their price 749.99. |

May I suggest the Tim Rew signature upside-down cross model? I know the neck is a little wide but what it lacks in functionality, it more than makes up for in kewlness!!
