Hey, I'm going to be getting a new guitar here pretty soon and i'm looking at those ibanez artcore series but then i on't like ibanez usually...i'm also looking at some strats which are nice but i do like that hollow body sound....i play lead guitar in a blues/rock/funk jam band....whatcha think here
Hey SLammon... save a tree & be a badass all at the same time. 100% wood-free guitars, the sustain is unbelieveable. Just a thought http://industrialguitars.com
Hmm, that's odd. Never seen them before, but they don't seem to get the same sound. I've been thinking about getting an artcore myself for that genre. The strats I've been playing just sound off... I like the jazzier tone of a hollowbody and a semi-hollowbody, but I like playing with the feedback of a hollowbody.
I recommend the following ibanez guitars... I have played both, they sound great, and cost less than 400.
fork out the money for a cheaper/ used gibson before you touch an epiphone...thats my opinion of em though, i dont believe epiphones or squiers are worth it unless your just starting out and really dont know if your gunna play guitar for more than a year or 2. from this title i got the impression you already have a guitar, so yea avoid em
Hey Slammon...what's your price range bro? If you haven't played a box before...they feel akward if you haven't played one before. There's I think a Jay Turser PRS semi-hollow clone that's a pretty damn good guitar for it's price. Going for Orsino2 also...if you have may cash definately check out the G&L ASAT Semi-hollow. Killer guitar. Never played anything like it. Most importantly man...the tone is mostly in the fingers. You could play jam on a Flying V if you wanted to.
man, dont be so quick to slight epiphones... ive got a sheraton II, and it sounds better than mys trats and tele ( 600-1000 dollar instruments)... and the neck is fast... loads of sustain, and great mellow tone
Moreso looking for more of a jazzbox. I'm not too much of a jam guitarist, but I like doing that sometimes. I've been getting into fusion and jazz. It feels strange playing it with a strat. Yes, tone comes from your fingers, I had a whole thread on that. I can't get the same tone from single coils, though. Too much of that nasaly Fender tone. Lately, I've been doing fine with a Stereo Delay and a Vox Wah using the '65 Deluxe Reverb + on my Cyber Twin with a strat. I wanted to get a used semi-hollowbody Les Paul Custom that a guy who owns a shop was going to let go for $1400, I went back the next day and someone snatched it up. Anywayyy... I wouldn't mess with an Epi unless it was an Eletist series. If you want something close or almost as good as a gibson and you can't afford one but want something better than an epi, I suggest you check out Agile. http://search.ebay.com/Agile_Musical-Instruments_W0QQcatrefZC12QQfromZR40QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQsacatZ619QQsojsZ1 Agile Electric Guitar Semi Hollow Body Stop Tail New This Hollow Body Agile produces great sound! The Agile AL-2800 is now available in a hollow body version with stop tail! The guitar is equipped with GHS strings (10-46) installed at the factory and a professionally cut bone nut. A pre-cut graphite nut is also included in the bag with the trus rod adjuster for those who prefer graphite. Designed as a step-up model for the AL-2500 (see our other auctions), the AL-2800 offers alnico pickups (vs ceramic on the 2500)for improved sound. The alnicos give the 2800 a "warmer" more traditional sound, vs the 2500 ceramic pickups which have a brighter, hotter output. The 2800 has individually hand filed frets (vs machine filed on the 2500), for professional feel and playability, and a thicker top quality Canadian maple top (100% real wood top-not a photo top!). The 2800 also offers a bone nut (vs plastic on the 2500). Of course, the 2800DLX offers all the standard features found on the 2500. Other features include, die-cast Grover tuners with 18-1 ratio for ultra fine tuning, a full body, neck and headstock binding, jumbo 2.7mm frets and a 13.7" (350mm) radius neck for "fast" play. The 2800 has a solid mahogany (not a multi-ply!) arch top body, 22 fret maple set neck with Rosewood fret-board and 24.7" scale length, 2 alnico hum-bucker pickups and a beautifully bound neck, headstock and body. Note: Tremolo comes unassembled. Simply loosen the strings and insert spring as shown below. Width of the neck at the nut: 1 10/16", at the 22nd fret 2 3/16". Total length, including strap button: 40". Width of guitar at it's widest point (lower bout) 13" Scale length 24.7". Body thickness 2" at edge. . Alnico 2 Pickup spec: Neck: Inductance: 8.4 Henries, DC Resistance: 14k ohms Bridge: Inductance 8.6 Henries DC Resistance: 16k ohms.

I know a bunch of people who play these and wouldn't touch a Gibson because these are more for the money.
My ESP LTD MH-301 sounds very nice. But for the sound I am looking for I'm thinking of putting in some DiMarzio pickups. Epiphones are good. Yamaha makes nice hollow bodies. It kind of depends on what you're looking for. Nearly any guitar can be a "good" guitar...
Yeah, whatever you like... I don't really care for epiphones unless they're older Kalamazoo plant models or the elitists. There's just so many better guitars you can get for the money. The Joe Pass model isn't too bad, though. I liked it.
meh, if you really wanted one that badly, I could have probably just sold you mine for cheap. Though, some people like the warranties, but they're only a 5 year limited.
