i just came. seriously.

ive been looking for a new guitar for a while now, had my eye on a few sites but then i come across this beauty.




for Ã,£500 its just crying at me. it wants me :(


Cypher

Seems like a bargain, but tbh, have some financial sense and put your mind some where else.  You know it would extremely silly to put the money you have right now on something like that.

There will allways be a bargain about.

left handed guitarists just look like something satan spawned. :D

Its just wrong dammit!!! wrong! your playing it backwards and upside down!!!

redneck

what do you play?

yourself?

please i will not be forced into being something i have spent my life fighting. even my grandmother tried to turn me.

i will never.

plus if i were to try and learn right handed i would just get frustrated and go back to being a lefty, seeing as i can tap and pretty much do all the fancy stuff ill ever need to know :)

do you know my current guitar (ovation) sounds like an organ when i pinch harm on it?

now you do :)

Im left-handed and play right-handed, but in hindsight getting a lefty would have been much more sensible.

Im not sure I like that one much tbh, but the colour is gorgeous.
I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

Used to play classical guitar, piano, and several brass instruments.

Can still play my old tunes on guitar, piano, but brass.. pah! other than C G E and D maybe F... I know no notes.

sounds like an organ!? you talking about fret buzz? Fixed that on my accoustic guitar by removing the strings, and placing a cocktailstick under the bridge to raise the action a little.

Oh and that guitar in a right handed setup would look PHWOAR!!! but as its left handed :P UURRRGGHH!!!!

See Jimi Hendrix.

no a pinch harmonic is where you fret a note, and then strike the note normally with the pick.
 however you just tone the note with your finger as you strike the note.

hence creating a pinch harmonic.

fret buzz can be eliminated by correct adjustment of the truss rod.
 if your guitar has one, if it doesnt raise the bridge or use heavier
 gauge strings.

here endeth the lesson

Jimi hendrix was overrated. :)

Majority of his fanbase are name dropping teenagers who have heard 2 songs of his and declare their undying love for his music the moment someone mentions that they are a guitarist to them.

"oh wow... you know any hendrix??" grr.. what bollocks.

I prefer some talent in my guitarists as opposed to just random random noise roughly adhering to a vague scale of some sorts. well... imo :D

Aye, I know what a pinch harmonic is, but I can safely say mine dont come off as sounding like an organ! :| no idea what your doing! :)

how about knowing pretty much the entire muse backcatalogue (yes its what got me to pick it up in teh first place) a bit of a perfect circle, a bit of tool and just starting on more interesting stuff like dream theatre, megadeth (symphony of destruction :) w00t) lightning bolt (you wont know unless your a muse fan) allsorts.

i have a phosphor bronze string semi acoustic which has endless tone. it seems the sustain on the note is pretty much unending. its wonderfull to play, but i know if i plug it in the feedback will be fun to playwith if thats the case :)

M3ta7h3ad

See your a decent guitarist then :) lol.

Ive pretty much given up on it, last tune I learnt were the chords to Ben Moody Feat. Anastacia - Everything Burns (Its the tune playing as the site loads).

QuoteEverything burns, Everyone screams,
Burn in their lies, Burn in my dreams,
All of this hate, and all of this pain,
Burn it all down as my anger reigns,
Till everything burns.

Sounds pretty alright on an acoustic. I have an electric just rarely do I get it out, oh and both of my guitars are random crap, but they do the job. :)

i dont like to expose my skills. its a bad sign if someone brags.


one thing i do is take pride of knowing the equipment. if i wasnt as good a tech as i am i wouldnt be able to get the intonation i want.
