Whats up you guys? Im new to these forums, but not new to Tim's enlightened style. I usually play my acoustic, unless I jam out with my band of brothers. I would like to know what electric guitar would be best to buy under 1k? My acoustic is my baby, but with a lack of frets, leaves me feeling restricted. Im looking for a guitar that can handle all sorts of pedals, plus be good just with standard tuning all by itself. Any ideas |

| A Gibson SG special can be found under $1000 at a lot of places. I had one (just sold it last week)...works well with pedals and has enough character that you can just plug it in and play it on it's own (something I don't think a strat has). |

Epiphone les paul standard. Of course, mine is from way back, they don't make 'em like they used to.
I second the SG notion. I'm a Gibson/Epiphone man though, so I'm very baised.

If he's in the 50+ crowd playing Earl Scruggs covers, a Telecaster should be right up his alley.

| Well Im kinda a guitar experimentalist type, so Id say from reggae to blues, to metal to my own crazy melodic riffs. But thanks for the input though. |

I was just kidding. I think of Telecasters as old man guitars...even though our own Tim Reynolds plays one.
I really like Les Pauls as a good all around guitar. I play a lot of different styles, and I only own one electric guitar: A Les Paul.

| i'm a metal man, myself, as well as an epiphone/gibson guy. my electric is a epiphone les paul studio gothic model. they don't make them anymore, but if you can get your meathooks on a gibson sonic 180, that'd be grand. i had one. . .and fucking broke it. |
death to false metal. |

| An American Standard Strat would probably be the most versatile, and my personal pick, especially if you replace one of the pickups with a humbucking setup. |
