Forget the guitar. You should take up the lute.

Save up a little longer and then maybe you will have the dough for it. I know what it's like when you want that thing RIGHT NOW, but saving up a little longer and buying something of higher quality would be better than buying something cheap now.

ya, im just worried that my parents will say forget it if i suddenly decide to get it in a month.
but ill save anyway.

[IcePrincessKRS]

What about talking to them about saving up to buy a better quality instrument? Tell them you talked to some people who are guitar players and that was their advice.

I know it's not quite the same deal, but that's the way I am with my cameras. Ever since I bought my expensive SLR I have barely touched my less expensive point and shoot. I let my kids use it instead. It cost more money but the expense has been well worth it.

This is a pat thread, not a Rexi thread.

Well, I play very little (meaning I am a rank amateur), but I have an acoustic Taylor that is amazing. The action on it is a little tighter, but the sound is perfect and it tunes like a dream. Taylors do run more to the pricey side tho.

Definitely call around to some local shops...frequently they have sales (especially right now during the back to school time when kids are picking up instruments) and see what kind of bargains they have. Also, when you're ready, go ready to negotiate. If they know you're serious, then many times they'll throw in things for you (extra strings, strap, sometimes even pedals and stuff). I know my brother managed to get a Fender Strat (like that black and white one pictured in the thread earlier) for about $250 on sale. Unusual, I know, but sometimes you can run across a sweet deal. Just be patient.

yeah that is a bit better.at least it i a brand name. i would recommend finding a higher qualit used guitar. every one of my electrics has been used, and new my ibanez wold be at least 1500$ but i got it all banged up and fixed it for 400$.
one thing i have always found with everything, guitars mtn bikes, motorcycles, etc. wait to get the nice one if you can, cause starting out with substandard equipment and upgarading smells of elderberries, and is very expensive in the long run.

that said, dont rush out and buy something super expensive, just something decent. no point blowing it all at once before you know what you relly want from a guitar.

I paid $100 for my first guitar. It was a '65 dove. I think Nixon was president.

[Vincent Vega]

Gibson is a great maker.
And Soutar.
And Dunbar and or McCallum.
Or old Lawries or Hendersons would be great...but more on the pricey side.



Ohhhh, Gibson [i]guitars[/i]. I always forget about those guys.
Guitars.

I got my bass for about 200$ I think. It was Nihil's friend's, but he quit, so I bought it off him.

It's more of a rythem instrument. But you're right.

True. I shoulda said banjo.

[QuoteMan]

Banjos are cool! They have a string on them, that ends halfway up the neck!

Rexi?!?!?

I thought a guitar would spontaneously combust if it even came near him...

Unfortunately, I live several thousand miles away from you.

Also, I doubt that your mother likes me very much after what I wrote on Nihil's Facebook.
