I need help picking an electric guitar

(1/14) > >>

PacoSees:
I've been an avid banjo player for a couple years now, and I've been trying to broaden my musical horizons by learning to play drums, fiddle, and piano.

I've been learning to play electric guitar with a good friend of mine and I've been borrowing his Les Paul for practice, but I think it's time I bought my own.

If I were to put up a list of things I was looking for in a guitar, would anyone be able to give me some models they think I would enjoy playing or at least trying out?

Thrillho:
...yes.


So do that, please. Otherwise this thread will just be fifty replies saying 'yes,' or most likely in Khar's case, 'no,' ha.

PacoSees:
Alright, so thanks to my small hands and habits I formed from banjo, I was hoping to find a guitar with a narrow neck and relatively low action.

As far as sound quality goes, something with great sustain and good tone all the way up the neck.

So it's not quite a list... but is there something with these qualities I could look for?

Thrillho:
SGs have tiny necks and are pretty easy to play, plus you have tons of high fret access. Their necks are notoriously weak though - ask KimJongSick on this very forum. I've not played one in a while because they don't agree with me so I don't know about their sustain.

I beg to differ. The slim taper neck on the Les Paul is smaller.
