Going to Memphis in May, and touring the Gibson factory with my girl, intending to buy her an electric. She is a beginner, but dedicated with her acoustic. I'm gonna guy her a classic electric, but don't know which. She has small hands, and is playing a 3/4 now. Does Gibson make a guitar with a thinner neck? BTW, I be shelling 2 large for a classic w/amp. Cheers |

Silver Member Username: RideredderCornell, IL USA Post Number: 263 Registered: Sep-05 | Yeah, I guess you could still call me a beginner. I've only been playing for three years self taught, never had a lesson. The Epi was the first guitar I ever bought and I love it, I just need to put different pickups in it. My next guitar will most likely be a Gibson or Epiphone because I have never played anything else and I don't want to buy something that I won't like. Are you sold on Gibson for your girl, or do you think she will like something else? I don't know if Gibson makes a guitar with a thinner neck or not. What kind of amp are you looking for? A 1x12 or 2x12 combo amp would be good for a beginner, but I just bought a Crate half stack because it was almost cheaper than most of the 2x12 combo amps I was looking at. I like things loud and that gets plenty loud for me. The head way overpowers the cab though. I can't turn it up past half way before it starts to distort, but the clean channel sounds awsome at any level. |

Silver Member Username: RideredderCornell, IL USA Post Number: 264 Registered: Sep-05 | Are tube amps really that much better than solid state? I've never played through one, but that is what everyone says. I've never used a any kind of pedal either. I know there are all different kinds, but I don't know what exactly it is that they do. For the style of music that I play, I would like a little more distortion than the amp gives. What kind of pedal will give me this? |

Gold Member Username: NuckParkhill, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1878 Registered: Dec-04 | Just about any one will mod the sound, most by adding focused distortion. You can get a pedal to sound like Brian May(good one), or just about anything. Most music stores will let you try the open ones, bring your axe. |
