I've started practicing more seriously on my own and with my band, which means we are going to get some gigging going once our setlist is finished and practiced through.. And because of that I feel the need of replacing my current beginner crap Squier with a decent new weapon :] What I'm asking you here at GMC for is merely inspiration to guide me to a guitar choice We're playing a mix of our own songs and covers. Not into too metal/heavy stuff (heaviest stuff played yet is Rage Against the Machine, not exceeding that). I find it kinda hard to describe our style, we like a more "intertaining" atmosphere (in lack of better word ) playing jazzy/bluesy rock.. Ye I know, not a very "on spot" description! But what the heck ;] The below are the guitars I've been looking at.. I'm not really considering Ibanez guitars, they just seem too metal-minded... At the moment I can get option 1+2 for the same price, but usually the Studio costs 25% more. Option 1: Gibson Les Paul Studio - This is really my current main option.. I see Gabriel has one, anyone else? And anything to say about it? Worth the money etc.? ;p Option 2: Gibson Les Paul BFG - I really like the look of this one. And the killswitch will make Morello riffs/solos and stuff like that much more fun to play. But I'm worried it will sound too heavy, far from a Les Paul, and not fit my style. It has no fingerboard inlays too (Can you buy some nice ones seperately and attach? A fingerboard looks so much better with inlays!). Anyone tried this guitar yet? Option 3: Fender anything? Well, I'm mainly looking for humbucker sound (or at least room to fit some EMG's in), so I guess Fender isn't really an option for me? I really like playing Strats, but the sound of a Les Paul fits me so much better. High-price option: Gibson Les Paul GT (unlikely due to more than double the cost of the others..) This one's so damn hot..! But it costs like 25% more than a JEM7V, uses same pick-ups as the Studio, so I'm not sure it's worth it? It has coil-taps though! Ofc I'm gonna try out every option at the store before making my final descision Anyone have any comments, help or suggestions? Everything is appreciated ;] Cheers!
