....Because it's time to buy a new guitar!!!! WEEHOOO!!!

So I've looked around, and trully, my final desicion comes down to a few.

Called me cliche, or whatever, but it's fender and gibson.

Gibson: Sg Angus young, SG standard, or '61 reissue

Fender: VG strat, A mohagany strat with humbucker I can't remember the name but it's red and black, an american or special american, or a '57 reissue

Any opinions?

You know the drill... You really need to try the guitar before you buy the guitar. Those guitars will all feel drastically different from each other, and will also sound different too. So, you need to find the one that feels right in your hands, and what sounds good to your ear, and not what you see with your eyes (brand, configuration, etc...).

Be sure to keep us up to date with what you go with.

PRS....hmmmmm


Well, you know, I just wanted to see what you guys thought of those guitars. I'm probably going to end up going with the 57 re-issue. Anyway, I'll keep you guys posted...
