The Holiday Gear Wish List Thread

Stewie · Post by **Stewie** » Wed Dec 17, 2008 11:03 pm

I just love to look in guitar shops and imagine a large budget and choose some guitars... Then think "I'll take this baby home

".

Then come back to reality, put down the guitar and leave the shop

.

Anyway, I got 700-800€ to spend on an amp, I want TUBES

! Any recommendations? I use a Les Paul Studio, I play Randy Rhoads, Buckethead and Metallica. I like alot of genres.. I'm the guy that tries every song in a guitar magazine.. So what I need is an amp thats all-round, good with pedals.. I'd like it to be good at low volumes (bedroom) and high (pubs, etc..). The problem is that I am in love with the Blackheart amp.

Decided to get no new gear at all. Sorry for wasting space asking questions and whatnot.

Don't be sorry my friend. Sometimes dreaming about getting the next guitar or guitar toy is half the fun!

You have some good gear too already as well.

Any chance of some more shred stuff on the forum Lord?

Ain't it though? And it's only $799 at Musician's Friend ($24 a month...)

The Koa version is pretty nice as well.

Probably not, I dont havea quality interface to record something proper. As for the gear, I got rid of a ton of stuff, and the Agile Ghost III would've made my shit complete, but of course, Rondo have to be dicks and only carry cases for shit when they feel like it. PLus, when the fuckers come in, the guitars will be out of stock. What a shitty business. Also, with those twats, don't get your hopes up. A lot of people say they get stuff and the pickup selector is jacked up or the wiring is fucked. Poor business model, I must say.

I've bought a couple guitars from them and they were excellent.

Well, guys... Here is a quote from another forum I visit.

I got the LTD FX-260. $400, praised reviews, and decent pickups. It coil splits for single coil stuff, and it has a lot better woods than the EX-260 [the EX-260 has an agathis body, while this has a Mahogany body, and a Mahogany/Maple neck with a rosewood fretboard]. It seems like quite a badass guitar. I'm sooo fucking stoked!! \m/

By the way, that BC Rich Mockingbird is kinda what turned me onto the spalted maple top, because I've been getting into natural finish guitars a lot lately. And it'll be here for X-mas. =D

You're giving me more gas that I don't need

Those Mockingbirds look like they'd hang kinda imbalanced...you know, neck heavy or whatever.

I'd have to disagree. They look like hot sex in guitar form.

I found this on the youtubez earlier.

Looks a bit like the one Het jams on...

Knew he played EXP's but I never knew he played an "FX". Awesome shit. All the more reason for it to kick ass. \m/

Non Glossey natural finish Guitars are my favourite. They are often more vibrant in tone too, and the cherry on the cake they are sometimes cheaper!

The faded Gibson explorer is inexpensive and just a great player!
