Guitar decision

<< < (2/2)

KharBevNor:
If my guitar pickups look like humbuckers (which are good, right?) does that mean they are? or do all pickups look the same. How the fuck do people get all this knowledge of guitars anyway? Do you like, save up and buy all the different ones and see which one is the best, or do you just read up and pretend you did that. I've only ever played one guitar, I have no idea what even the differences between them would be.

La Creme:
Some of us are (luckily) not trapped on small, remote British isles, and we therefore are near Sam Ashs and Guitar Centers where we can just go in and play the guitars to see what sound we like.

That's how I found my lovely Epiphone Les Paul of pure sexy goodness.

Borondir:
For metal, humbuckers are the only way to go, Khar, and yeah, if they look like humbuckers they probably are.  

On the knowledge thing, I'd say you just have to read a ton and play a lot of different guitars in stores and such like.  I can't say I know a lot, but the more you hear, the more you'll be able to tell.

KharBevNor:
Man, I don't have the time to go to guitar stores.

My guitar is ostensibly designed for playing metal, so that would make a good deal of sense.
