hello,
I'm looking to buy an electric guitar after playing strictly acoustic for the past ten years (I also play a few other instruments). A local music shop has a peavey retro fire (wasn't marked with a price) which I tried out and liked. Then they told me it's a beginner guitar and only $95!
These guys are setup masters so they could make anything playable. The pickups really had a nice differentiation between the single coil and humbucker tones. I liked the single coil pickup, the humbucker sounded ok, nothing too special.
anyone have one of these instruments? my peavey grind bass is really nice and I've used it on a years' worth of gigs so I'm not peavey-phobic. If the tuners slip and the guitar won't stay in tune, tho, I wouldn't want it.
I'd be playing rhythm guitar and keys for a local bar band -- 80's to today rock music.

So Im looking for a decent and affordable rig for smaller (bars) cover band gigs. While I would love a nice tube amp, I just dont have the funds at the moment so I was thiking of going with a good multi - pedal and a SS amp, for now at least.
Does anyone know any thing about the Acoustic (brand) amps? I have their bass amp and am very happy with it. Played around with a G120 at GC yesterday and it didnt seem to shabby.. the onboard FX were pretty crappy, but I wouldnt be using them ...
thoughts?

Hi

My name is Luke Mosse and I'm a musician and guitar teacher based in Bristol, UK.

I'd be happy to answer any instruction-related questions people have about guitar. I have a blog where I sometimes post up instructional material. As I'm running some blues guitar courses at the moment, I've been making some videos, such as this one about how to bend notes in blues guitar.

I'll keep a look out on this forum and will post replies to instruction related stuff when it comes up!

My first Strat copy had been upgraded with Rio Grande pickups before I discovered it on the GC website. I marched right into the store when they opened the next morning, and a deal was struck for sticker price, $150.

Hi everyone. I'm a cross-over from TalkBass.com. I've been over there for almost 10 years now, wow time flies. I've been playing bass even longer. I've had the urge to start learning the guitar lately. I know, I know....come back from the dark side, or come to it depending on the perspective. I'm just looking for some input on starting out. I starting tooling around with Rocksmith on my PS3. Picked it up cheap on a whim. It's not bad, but it's kinda gimmick-oriented. It's fun, but how functional it is remains to be seen.

So here I am, instill you wisdom upon the hapless bass player turned guitarist. I guess the big thing is gear to start out with. My brother is a guitarist and he's loaned me his first amp, a Fender solid state 2x12. It sounds decent so far. I like the sound of Les Paul guitars from what I've tried. I'm looking as some Agile copies over at RondoMusic.com. They seem to get pretty good reviews and the $$$ sure seems right. Any other suggestions....
