(lol) but being 15 and unemployed it's really all I can afford. for a few months anyway, I have an opportunity to graduate high school early if I pass this test I'm taking in march. then I can get a part time job and pay for all this stuff that is on my wishlist! :D

yea dude, I think if your are really serious, you should clean your rigg. First forget an SG, they are too expensive and are not that heavy (just look heavy). Get a Schecter Omen 6. The Schecter has Diamond pickups so they will give virtually no feedback so you wont need to change it Its a 300 doller guitar that is more heavy than most >600$ Jacksons. Dont worry its a very good guitar. Also, if you can get a Line 6 Spider II 15 watt amp for 150 dollers. That amp is incredible with sooo many features from clean to insane, with 7 built in effects. Its a best selling amp. So for 450 dollers, you could have yourself a really badass setup with TONNNNNNSS of distortion.



take it from me, a fellow 15 year old...lol
