Graham A asked:


I’m looking to buy, and honestly I can’t tell what’s special about the Fender Stratocaster, and the Fender AMERICAN Stratocaster. Besides the American being 400 more… also:

A Gibson SG and a Gibson Vintage SG

Stratocaster and an older model of one (like a 50s reissue)

I know people think Gibson is better than Epiphone, but is the difference really big enough to spend 2,000 dollars on?

I know the vintage 50’s & 60’s models are excellent and coveted. But I had heard that the 70’s & early 80’s ones are substandard. And that they got better in the 90’s, etc. How do the current ones compare?

I am almost positive it is this guitar
http://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender-American-Vintage–62-Stratocaster-Electric-Guitar-510049-i1146252.gc

I saw it at guitar center, and it was $440 – only because it was the last one they had and they had not sold it yet. it was a 60s stratocaster. how good is this guitar? thanks
also the price is sooooooo low. IT WAS NOT USED EITHER.

why?
THIS WAS THE GUITAR!!!!

is was the sunburst red/brown color NOT the light blue

ehy i have the oportunity to buy either a fender 62 reissue MIM strat wiht lindy farlin vintage pickups $550 or a G&L legacy for $700. what do u guys think would be the better choice?
one thing that concerns me with the G&L is its neck profile. i heard it was alot fatter than a strat neck.

here is my problem.. im starting to get really good at guitar. im into all the techniques and have mastered them.. that includes finger tapping very quickly, hammering, pulling off, etc. the only problem is that my amp and guitar **** and i have no money. for example..when i finger tap on my guitar it is not clear at all and it sounds really bad compared to when i do it on my friends ibanez. im trying to get a heavy sound but all i have on my amp is a “boost” effect which is not really much of a distortion. im guessing its my guitar though also.. pickups are pretty bad and everything. i have an epiphone les paul special II and a Studio 10S epiphone practice amp….should i just get a new guitar/amp or a distortion pedal or what? any suggestions on an amp. i might get a Gibson Vintage guitar or maybe an Epiphone Prophecy with EMG pickups =] what do you guys think?

Undead asked:


there’s a Les Paul I want that sounds awesome but it’s used, I didn’t buy it then and there because I knew I wasn’t going to give a proper assessment , especially being so excited for it..

It’s a 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom, sounds fine and everything seems to be seated right.. anything I should look for ? or that i should ask the sales guy?

character not in how the thing looks, but type of sound. ex. an old guitar may not have a tone as good a new but has that vintage character. or a taylor sounds bright, n a gibson sounds mellow, but both have good tone…
