Figuring out what to buy

[rotund phoenix]

in terms of skill im prolly intermediate pushing advanced, Im not totally sure on the genre I want to play as I have sorta been all over the place, but my goal in terms of what to play is john mayer stuff and tim henson stuff, I currently have a tod10n and a squier strat which was my first guitar, I dont wanna spend any more than 1500 and in terms of brand Ive been leaning towards fender, a guitar that ive been seriously looking at is the TOD10 since it has those nice metal tones but im not sure, im just kinda lost and dont wanna throw away some money cus I cant get another guitar for a while

[jolly crystal]

I mean a prs se silver sky would be good, Ibanez tod10 not bad, Ibanez az,

[rotund phoenix]

i was jus told that the tod10 had a lot of quality issues and it was pretty overpriced

[jolly crystal]

It is overpriced but that’s nothing new for signature guitars

[rotund phoenix]

yeah I was thinking about getting the prs

would it be decent for rock

[jolly crystal]

Could be yeah

[rotund phoenix]

ive also been looking at the 70s jaguar

vintera 2

im not sure what genres its good at

[stark nimbus]

a used az2204

[rotund phoenix]

actually looks cool ill look into it

[stark nimbus]

higher quality build standard than tim’s signature, and within the same realm of guitar

tim used those az prestiges a lot before he got his signature shit

[rotund phoenix]

yeah I saw some of his old stuff

pretty sure the OD music video used it

it looks like it wouldnt be bad at clean tones too

[clever veldt]

Solar would be great if you want a guitar, but I would buy a good amp modeler. I suggest Hotone Ampero II

[rotund phoenix]

im playing through a foscurite with a few diff plugins

I dont have a guitar worth getting a good interface for

and im 14 i get paid 20 an hour i cant jus get both

[clever veldt]

Then check out Solar guitars

1.6 models specifically

[rotund phoenix]

the clean tones are too far off what im looking for

[clever veldt]

Wdym

[rotund phoenix]

its all metal

[clever veldt]

The pickups in them aren’t even high output

[rotund phoenix]

it couldnt pull off blues

[clever veldt]

Are you just not a fan of the looks?

[rotund phoenix]

that too

[clever veldt]

Ofc it could

My EMG 81 does blues fine

You can play everything on anything

You can play jazz on a dime bucker if you try

[rotund phoenix]

the end product wont be as half as good for if you would play on a les paul
