Vintage Guitar Outlet Blog

Sweets asked:

I’m in search of an electric guitar, and was wanting to know everyone’s opinions on brands. He wants a Fender, but we also spotted an awsome Samick pack. I’d love to have the amp included. I’ve also heard Yahama are ok also. I don’t want a vintage, because of price and well, they’re old. lol More than one pickup and/or humbucker too. He is a beginer, but wants one that will always be better than he is. lol

Any ideas of what to look for, and what to look out for? Any links to sites with amazing deals on a new one? (I’ve been all over ebay so don’t point it out!)

Thanks for your help, and I hope to have him shreddin by x-mas!!!
;o)
I DID mention this is for my HUSBAND, not a child….. He’s been playing for only a couple months on an acoustic, but now wants an electric.

I have played acoustic for quite some time now, and would like to start playing electric. I’ve always liked the Fender guitars but my friend recommended me a Les Paul. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gibson-Les-Paul-Vintage-Mahogany-Electric-Guitar?sku=517536
Should I buy this? I’m on a budget, so I’ll need to buy a decent amp with this and want to try to spend less than 1200.

I purchased a used Super Reverb around 1971. I owned various other amps for different gigs but the Super was my pride and joy. the Super was stolen around 1986. I dont play much but would like to purchase a guitar amp around 50W-100W with a real good 12″ speaker. I DONT want to spend much. I know there are all kinds of knock-offs of Vintage Fender, Mesa Boogie, etc. Be it new or ebay I want something HOT but cheap…. any legit recommendations?

Can someone please translate the following Wikipedia definition of Eddie Van Halen’s brown sound into layman’s terms?

“Van Halen achieved his distinctive tone by using a stock 100-watt Marshall amp, a Variac to lower the voltage of the amp to get high gain distortion at lower volumes, and a “Frankenstrat” guitar Van Halen constructed using a vintage Gibson humbucker pickup rewound by Seymour Duncan.”

Please, does ANYBODY know where one of these could be found. I don’t care if it’s used or whatever, because I have searched for years now for one to no avail. I wanted one when they first came out but I didn’t have enough money back then, but now I do. I will pay anything reasonable for one.

The guitar is a black Fender Strat, with a Seymour Duncan JB Jr. in the bridge, a Vintage Rail in the middle, and a Hot Rail in the neck I believe, and it comes with a Floyd Rose Original Tremolo, Mirrored Pickguard and Iron Maiden’s mascot Eddie , logoed on the headstock , PLEASE if any of you can , help me find one of these, it’s been my holy grail, the one I cannot find

It looks pretty sweet but I’m no guitar expert. I’ve heard it’s just as good as a Gibson, not like the Squire garbage fender makes where they fall apart a week after you get them. This is a real guitar here. It’s just a standard SG make to look like a clssic, right? Now I know it looks cool, but does it sound good? Tell me what you think of this guitar. (by the way I’m getting the cherry-colored one for my birthday!)
Please give me some input!!!

I have a 1960′s or 1970′s Apollo guitar, made by Kawai in Japan. I need to know anything and everything about these guitars.

Vintage guitars, and some vintage amps, often are priced far higher than new guitars. Why is that? I’ve always felt that as technology improves the quality of a modern guitar should be better, too. I know that mass manufacturing versus handcrafted is an issue, but some new boutique guitars are still handcrafted.

I’m thinking about getting a guitar soon, and I was thinking about getting a stratocaster. I thought it would be easy, but it isn’t. There’s all different ones from 50s, 60s, 70s etc. Whats the difference between those vintage ones and guitars made recently?
