I might impulsively buy a guitar soon - anyone have any recommendations ?

I was thinking either a telecaster or a strat. I also am looking for surf sounding pedals, and maybe some reverb. Help pls??

but are you on a train?
not yet

@Anthony - yeah I like the tele price, but I'm not sure if it's the right guitar. I've gotta play one to see.

Gibson les paul if it's not too expensive, otherwise fender telecasters are pretty good prices. My dad has the latter

Already have an acoustic I like and my dad has a prime one that I also like lots.

it's just a lot of money to spend at once.

Have a wank into an empty packet of crisps whilst you're at it.

Dan, get a Paul Stanley model. Would totally suit you.

i have a fender acoustic/electric that i like, but i want to shred and riff on some crunchy grooves.

yeah stan my cousin has an sg, but i don't think it suits my style.

Hoping to make my way to guitar center aka showroom to play a bunch of guitars and get a feel.
thebrontosaurusalmost 11 years ago
what kinds of gibsons should I look I? I know virtually nothing about them.

I would consider a semi-hollow les paul.

I'm also starting to lean towards a Fender Jaguar.

There's one in Times Square but I hate going there. There are some independent shops around I could check out to get a feel

oooh, well are there any guitar centers near you where you can try them out?
thebrontosaurusalmost 11 years ago
Not too familiar with Ibanez, I used to play my friends I banes bass and it was super clunky I didn't care for it.
Satanalmost 11 years ago
Ibanez are more in your price range then, i forget what model my cousin has, maybe RG?
thebrontosaurusalmost 11 years ago
What kind? I don't want to spend that much since if I move again I'd like to be able to sell it quickly
Satanalmost 11 years ago
Are you looking for electric then, if so, i recommend Ibanez, or if you're feelin' like spending a bunch of money, get a gretsch white penguin
thebrontosaurusalmost 11 years ago
The 400 dollar range seems reasonable but I want to see if anyone has any stellar recs from brands I may not have fairly considered
thebrontosaurusalmost 11 years ago
I've been playing for years but I don't have access to my dad's stuff anymor since I moved out, and I want to get my own electric guitar.

I get what you're saying though but I don't think I'd let it collect too much dust
