The shop was small and the guy I talked to seemed friendly. I sat a varity of guitars on my lap and strummed a few for style and sound. I held a few to check weight and stuff.
Out of all the guitars I tried the one I liked the look of was the most uncomfortable to sit with. It was a ibanez looky likey.
The shape I felt most at home with was a les paul gibson shape. The roundy looking one I always pictured some blues dude doing his wiggly bending tunes on :)
As for price it came out at £189 ($300ish) reduced from £299 ($400ish). It wasnt a make I was familiar with, in fact I forget which it is now but I took a guitar playing friend with me and he assures me that ...
"The action is pretty good, not too low and not too high for a beginner"
and ...
"For a beginners guitar it seems very nice."
Wish I had a model number for you but it looked in general pretty clean for the money although I doubt it will sound like a guitar from godsmack im assured a distortion pedal (I think thats it) will help that out or maybe when I learn to play a new guitar.
Thoughts?
