weapon of choice

demonlation · 5th November 2003, 04:31

ok suppose a very rich relative offers to buy u one and only one guitar which one would u choose and why
(a) a les paul;
(b) a strat or
(c) any other guitar

personally i would go for the les paul anyday cause it suits the type of music i play and also because of the name ;-)

Xerxes · 5th November 2003, 06:18

I would take the most expensive one and return it to get the money, so I could hire Christopher Walken to dance to the Subject Title.

Cylob · 5th November 2003, 06:46

A srat for me.

I've had an 'encore' for just over 10 years, many a nursery-rhyme played on it (I can remdition anything from Humpty Dumpty to Jack and Jill). Alas there are finger marks on the fretboard now.

A strat would look nice in it's place.

Preferably in natural wood.

Nah, the black and wood clash. Mine would be:

i agree the flying v is too cool for words. like the explorer better though.but this is the coolest!!

sidd · 6th November 2003, 07:13

blah...

flying v, sg, even the les paul, theyr all just metal guitars.. all looks, sound like shite. (imho)

Shenlong · 6th November 2003, 20:39

Gibson Les Paul Iron Cross edition...Custom guitar that James Hetfield uses that has gold striping on it and a big gold iron cross on the bottom face of the body, so Metallica fans should know what I'm talking about...Love the looks of that specific guitar, and I love the heavy and dirty sound Gibsons give off...

...still trying to find a picture on the internet to show to you guys...

k_rock923 · 6th November 2003, 21:57

either a custom explorer with diamond plate with dual EMG chalkboard pickups. or a good baritone

sidd · 6th November 2003, 22:41

ugh.....

i have a 2 string guitar made out of rubber bands and an ice-cream bucket. And it would run circles around the les paul.

now how about the lucille? u have to agree that some of the best sounds on the planet came out of that sweet thing.

marvinbarcelona · 7th November 2003, 20:11

A tea-chest, broom handle and some wire.

Cylob · 10th November 2003, 13:35

I don't understand where the tea-chest fits in?

marvinbarcelona · 10th November 2003, 14:06

Makes it bassy!

Cylob · 10th November 2003, 14:18

I'd like to see you haul it around stage.

marvinbarcelona · 10th November 2003, 15:14

Bah! Kids nowadays, they want everything on a plate. In my day, if we broke a string, we had to pluck our own pubic hair and fashion a string and then tune it.

You don't want to know what the percussionist had to go through if he broke his marracas!

Shenlong · 11th November 2003, 20:42

...neither do I wanna know what the guitarists did when they broke a pick...

sidd · 11th November 2003, 22:41

Thats easy, bread bag clips.

Though back in my day, bread was a luxury.

All your bass are belong to us!

NJK · 12th November 2003, 15:15

this is what i play when in the mood for playing
only note: mine is all black

zootm · 12th November 2003, 18:03

nice, elchevelle!

i just thought, and i decided what i really want is my current little bass, with a kevlar neck. i snapped the wooden one

nybergh · 13th November 2003, 10:39

A Danelectro played by Jimmy Page

Exactly. One neck with 6 strings and another with 12. Listen to those live versions of Stairway to Heaven

!

taylormemer · 13th November 2003, 11:55

Like on The Song Remains The Same Vid....

nybergh · 13th November 2003, 12:02

Yes, like that.
Actually the best version officially released is the one one Led Zeppelin DVD (my personal oppinion). The Song Remains The Same-version is a bit stiff and suffers from some rigidity...

sidd · 13th November 2003, 12:06

slash from gunners also used a gibson doubleneck. Exactly the same as that.

Its a pretty popular guitar.

nybergh · 13th November 2003, 12:07

By the way have you felt the power of live "Dazed And Confused"? I Like those sex-fixed "uh ah aaaaaaaaahh suck it yeah"-lyrics. Beats any Austin Powers in horniness

taylormemer · 13th November 2003, 12:15

I still have yet to get the led Zeppelin DVD, my firends think I live in the past because im 14 and listen to Led Zep, Black Sabbath and the other English older bands.

Quite similiar situation for me, though i'm 16

. In the town where i live quite many of them who prefer new stuff like [insert the name of any NuMetal-band here] or Metallica usually still accept old hard rock as "yeah, sounds pretty good". That's a good sign.

What I like most with old hard rock is the blues-dimension. Have you listened to Cream (eric clapton (gt), jack bruce (voc, bass) and ginger baker (drums!!!)or Ten Years After (with alvin lee on gt), they're british too? That's even more blues than Zep but still heavy & psychedelic.

taylormemer · 13th November 2003, 12:26

Ill look into that, Ive listened to Clapton but none of the others.

nybergh · 13th November 2003, 12:34

I reccommend Creams album "Disreali Gears"
and Ten Years Afters "Live At Fillmore East" or "Ssssh". One of Ten Years After's songs (I'm Going Home) is actually included in the Woodstock-movie.
[edit]Both bands have released good compilations
remember that you allways can check bands you want to discover at

Shenlong · 13th November 2003, 20:46

Next to the Gibson Les Paul, I like the Fender Highway 1 Stratocaster...

The Ibanez K7 is a bitchin' guitar too...

But since I'm more of a bass player, I'd really like a Fender Standard P-Bass

The Ibanez K5 is a nice bass too...
