That depends how much you're willing to pay :P
Or if you happen to have an Ibanez RG1570 lying around that you'll trade for it.

I see your Höfner and I raise you one brand new replacement Gibson SG, fresh from the factory, never been played by anybody but the setup guys.



She's back at my dad's and I will pick her up the next time I'm in California.

Is it wrong to not like SGs?  I played an SG Gothic once, and I hated it.  The pickups sucked, and the fretboard was ebony, and flat.

Or it could just be he was playing a crappy Epi, since they are the only ones that make Gothics, as far as I know.

That SG looks absolutely awesome, you got really lucky on the way the grain shows on that one.

It's okay, he's only jealous; he's try to play mine everytime it's near him.

Haha, he's forgiven though, his Epiphone SG is kind of shitty.

Guys, guys, guys.

Take a look at this number.





This would probably destroy the shit out of my back, but gosh darn how lovely this thing looks.

I'm pretty happy with my Fender Lead II, but this thing... damn.

As far as other guitars I lust for go, I would be happy with an Eastwood Classic Six or a Rickenbacker 330 (not that I can afford one). And that Hofner looks spiffy, but I think I like the look of this one better.

They made them for a year or two, a while back, then discontinued them. They were basically gussied-up SG Specials.

Iommi has a signature model which is completely different.

That right there indicates -exactly- what you were doing wrong.

(snip) you got really lucky on the way the grain shows on that one.

Thanks! I actually though that too, at first, but then I realized it wasn't so much luck as the fact that the really thin finish shows it off beautifully. This one's a lot brighter red than the one that broke, it appears, althought that may just be the flash.

godinpants is right about that mirror Jazz, that's a 3x3 angled headstock if I ever saw one. My guess is that it's a Warmoth job that had a lot of potential but immediately turned into FAIL with that headstock. Seriously who the fuck thought it'd be a good idea to angle that thing?

It's just the same neck they use on all their guitars. Kramer/Travis Bean style:





The entire guitar is aluminium, by the way. (not these ones, the Electrical Guitar Company Jazzmaster). That might explain the headstock design, save on metal/weight

I'm looking for a small amp myself & this caught my eye,
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-SuperChamp-XD-120V-Guitar-Combo?sku=483075
It's a little more, But it might be worth looking into.
They also have this,
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-VibroChamp-XD-120V-Guitar-Combo?sku=483069
It's more in line with your stated budget & has the same features & effects but only one channel and 5w output.

So is that a faded model? I think I heard that those have the thinner finish, which would be great, since they are also the cheaper ones.

I cannot get past that the SG is one of the worst balanced guitars evarr.

If you like the chrome, the fender, the six in line tuners, the humbuckers...then check this out: (John 5 Triple Deluxe)

That pickguard is chrome, not white, btw...

It is indeed! The best thing about the finish is that it's not even really paint, it's just a reddish stain on mahogany and it's just given a sortof twice-over airbrushing of tung oil.

Regarding the SG's balance issues, I've never really cared about the way any of my guitars have balanced. Idunno, maybe I'm just not picky after having owned nothing but shit guitars up until I bought that SG, but I'm really not concerned with how it balances. *shrug* I dunno, it doesn't balance perfectly but it's never bothered me.

To be fair, I've never once played a Gibson that balanced well. My mate's dad has a vintage ES-335 (I hate him so much for it, too), I've played Pauls and SGs out the ass, I've played a friend's vintage Blueshawk and another friend of mine let me play his CS-356 and none of them have been anything but neck-heavy. Maybe Gibson's offset-body designs are different but I've never tried them.

Okay people.

I have a '72 Telecaster Custom. It was my baby. It is my dream guitar. It plays like a dream, it looks like a dream, it sounds like a dream. I couldn't be happier with it.

However - since buying it, I haven't played my Squier Tele Standard much. I picked it up to play it recently, and realised that, quite frankly, it's essentially worthless to me now.

The single coil pickups are weak. They're stock, and I know singles aren't meant to be great for sustain or power or anything, but this is ridiculous - they have virtually no sustain and don't even sound that great any more. I was having trouble competing with my mate's electro-acoustic through an amp, fer chrissakes.

It also doesn't play well for me any more. The neck seems to not slide very well. I always forget the names of the woods - but it's a dark colour. Maple, I think? I don't know, but the Standard has a dark neck and I can barely play it, the Custom has a yellow neck and it plays beautifully.

Basically, I don't think that this Squier is a bad guitar, it's just not what I want any more.

It does still hold sentimental value. It has a slight ding in the finish which I find endearing - but I'm realising that I have eight guitars. I can't take them all to uni and this one isn't doing me much good for anything. I'm in a metal band at the moment and as a spare guitar, it'd be utterly useless.

The question is - should I sell it? It has no practical use, only sentimental value; and if nothing else, it may teach me that I never want to sell one of my guitars again, but I know I'll barely use it.

I want to replace it with a Jaguar...

That's another thing I forgot to mention, is that for the cost it'd take to make it useable again, it'd 1. not be the guitar I loved any more (it'd be just the body) and 2. be pricey enough that I should just buy another guitar instead.

I have a mexiCaster I feel the same way about. It's an ok backup. Everytime I think about getting the bridge fixed I just say, "meh."

I think the John 5 looks cool. But then I play a Parker so I am already into unusual, I guess. I've been leaning on something like the John 5 for my next purchase. But 1) I don't want a #$@#$^ John 5 anything. and 2) I could get an Eastwood that would be way fruitier looking and thus multiply my happiness. Addionally 3) the J5 Triple Delux is fucking made in Mexico. And I fear that it would be a let down shortly after purchasing.

Of course the last 3 basses we bought we 'Murican made and every one of them had to go back for one reason or another.

That's weird, I've never played a Les Paul that balanced funny!

My Firebird is less neck-heavy than an SG but more neck-heavy than a Les Paul. The design also sticks the neck way further out towards your left arm than Les Pauls or SGs, which I like. I've never actually played an Explorer standing up, so I don't know if they do something similar.

Squire pickups are pretty lame.  Although, I changed the strings on my Squire Strat to a heavier gauge recently, and got a shitload of my sustain back.  Dark necks are either ebony or rosewood (or perhaps mahogany*).  I've never seen an ebony fretboard on a Squire or a Fender, though.  Maple is the yellow wood.

*You might want to double check that one.  I'm not too sure about it, myself.

It's more in line with your stated budget & has the same features & effects but only one channel and 5w output.

Thanks for pointing these out!  I went and tried out some amps today.  I eliminated a vintage Univox solid state w/ tremolo (it was kind of ridiculous but also shitty), an Orange practice amp (again, shitty), and a Tech 21 Trademark 10.  The Tech 21 was nice (for solid state), but I kind of dislike the idea of trying to copy the sound of a classic amp, and I'm not sure how I feel about the execution of the concept either.  I tried one amp I really liked: the vintage Traynor TS-50.  It's solid state, but has decent tone, and might be exactly what I want, as it has some good basic controls (EQ, gain, volume) and some nice features (reverb, bright switch, boost).  Plus it's larger than my current one and sounds like it could get loud (and it has a direct out as well as the ability to disconnect the internal speaker and hook it up to a larger cab).  I was not able to try out the Fender Champ 600, but it seems like it wouldn't really be versatile enough for my needs.

In other news, my friend just got a vintage Mosrite Celebrity hollow-body short-scale bass.  Serial No. 12

The question is - should I sell it? It has no practical use, only sentimental value; and if nothing else, it may teach me that I never want to sell one of my guitars again, but I know I'll barely use it.

I want to replace it with a Jaguar...

That's up to you, depends how much sentimental attachment you have to it. You know, a Jaguar won't be much use in a metal band either, unless you're just using it for the clean bits or it's one of those with humbuckers.

My Marshall MG100DFX and my Boss DD-20. I think I've only got one recording on an EP I'm about to finish that doesn't use my Marsh exclusively, and I think every recording has my DD-20. Those two things are pretty much my lifeline.

... an MG? I applaud you for getting such an agreeable tone.

I'm curious, why did you choose to go for an MG instead of saving a little more and getting a cheap tube combo?

Considering the gear, it is actually really good. It still sounds pretty flat, thin and lifeless, but hey.. It's a solid state and Squier, what can you expect?

Wicked under-rated amps. I love my MG-15CDR.
