My first Guitar was a Takamine eg 7c acoustic electric I knew so little about guitars that i played it for years before I realized the truss rod was not adjusted correctly. I lost it in a car accident the guitar was worth more than the car. When my friends found out it was destroyed I was given...a Joe Poss Epiphone, two Yamaha acoustics and I finally bought a cheap martin acoustic electric DMX i think (do not buy this guitar it is made of press board) I took it back to Sam Ash and picked up a guild for $300 less than M.S.R.P. because I demanded my money back for the Martin. |

HAHA! True lol. Hm...I'm not sure, it smells suspiciously like sandalwood but I've never heard of it being used in guitars.
I also forgot to mention I have a Fender Squier but since thats so uninteresting I forgot it lol. |

Oh haha I get to post again! :)
I recently have treated myself (with ym own money - poo :( ) to an American Fender Stratocaster. It is da BOMB. Its a classic sunburst design which is of course awesome. Its got three pickups AND a humbucker so I can get clean strat soudns and dirty sounds. Beautiful piece of handiwork, and sounds like heaven or hell all in one instrument...ah, guitar love :). |

I just joined the forum. Interesting!
I have three guitars. I have a Yamaha ERG121C Electric that has great action. I also have a 1968 Harmony Stella 3/4 acoustic which sounds very bluesy with nylon strings and an Aria acoustic with steel strings which I love to play. |

I have a just joined this forum and I just wanted to put in my input. I have a Jackson 6 string ele., Ibanze 6string and 7 string, 3 Fender 6 string one with a roland pick up. A washburn Acoustic, a Ibanze 8 string guitar. I play mostly on my hellcat though is it a very nice playing guitar. I also have 3 line 6 guitars that are nice but have to use batteries or plug them in so I dont use them as much. |

Ya the line 6 guitars use batteries or you can plug them in though a special box that comes with it o and you have a tsr cable you have to use too. They are a real nice guitar and they have some nice tones I do like them but it is a hassle to always plug them in or replaced the batteries. I do have the Pod xt live and with the rj 45 cable you can use with it to hook up and then you can just power it though that connection. They do have real good tone though and for recording it is very clean and clear. I love my hellcat and my 20 year old Ibanze rg 550. I put DiMarzio double whammy in the brigde postion and a DiMarzio (I cant remember the name of it) in the neck. This was my second guitar and I bought it new. |

Ya I got it from a music store that was going out of bussiness back in the 80's I dont remember what year. I found it there and they were not even being sold yet. It is a japan model. The model number is gone now and I have changed a few things on it. I also have a dessert yellow one the was released back then. It also has been changed around a little too. |

Hello to everybody. I am as new to guitars as they get. I have acquired an electric/acoustic guitar for my beginning guitar. it is a Dean guitar, i do not know the quality of these instruments, but it seems like a very nice quality guitar. I am pleased for my first one. also welcome any input on this guitar. it also has a built in electronic tuner. |

Ibanez Gio GSZ120
Epiphone Les Paul Special II
Godin Exit 22
ION Starter Pack (Guitar and Amp, etc.)
Fender Gemini II
Surprisingly, my Les Paul is GREAT for standard tuning heavy metal. not drop d or c though. The Ibanez and Godin are amazing for drop c and d though. The last two are not bad, but the acoustic doesnt stay in tune as good.. it is old. |

Ibanez GRX40 (ok guitar, but I have a crap amp, so it doesn't sound great)
Yamaha FG730S Acoustic (this one is really good, and I just got it.)
Olympia by Tacoma OP-2 (a not so good acoustic. It's 3/4 size, and it is "classical" shape, so it has bad resonance. The Yamaha is a dreadnought shape, and full-sized, so it has a bigger sound.) |

I have an acoustic Yamaha FS-310 (I think that's the right model). A very good guitar for the price, but I am looking to upgrade to a Martin or Taylor.
My electric and main playing guitar is a Schecter C-1 Classic (in transparent blue). I play it through a 150 watt Line6 Spider III. My friend and bandmate has a Schecter C-1 Plus (sunburst-ish finish), so we look pretty cool when playing :) |
