i would love to have a Les Paul, as for BC Rich, some of the ugliest guitars i have ever seen :-/ i can proudly say i will never play nor own one. (just my opinion though)

I wouldn't call it an ugly guitar, but its a pain in the arse for me to tune.  Other than that, I like it.  :)

I wonder if guitars for left-handers are more expensive than guitars for right-handers.

Sometimes, yes.  But you can buy a right-handed guitar, reverse the strings and play it up-side-down.  Jimi Hendrix did that.

cool, I love seeing some of the rigs and guitars people have...

I'm especially fond of that marshall amp setup.. I like the tonal quality I get out of my marshall amps..

I have the following:

Arianna Classical Guitar
Texarkana full-size dreadnought accoustic
Les paul special model II (Cherry sunburst)
Samick stages 3 (black german version of the stratocaster)
Fender Stratacoustic (black)
Alvarez 12 string dreadnought (my favorite)

I have two different amps, my marshall VS115 and another off brand amp which is designed primarily for accoustic and microphone amplification..

Depends on the way you learn to play...

Like Paul Mc Cartney...left handed.

Pigeon:  Jag HH, no tremolo.  You might be able to have one installed, tho.  Something else about Jaguars: They have a short scale length (bridge to nut), only 24", compared to Gibson's usual 24.75" and Strats at 25.5".  So you might want to play one if you haven't already with that in mind.

I think he didn't even reverse the strings...  :o

Hmmm... I never played one, but then again, I'm not planning to get one soon. I wouldn't buy a guitar without playing it first anyway.  ;) But again, thanks for the info!

It's not a VERY good amp, but I think it's the best around without tubes. If I could afford a tube amp I would get the new 'mode four'. Man, that thing is brutal!  8)

Pidgeon is right, Hendrix played left handed and upside down with the 1E up top and the 6E on the bottom, way to hard for me, haha

It was a well-known fact back then that Hendrix did in fact reverse the strings, with 6E up and 1E down.  There are enough clear pictures in the books 'Jimi Hendrix Sessions' and 'Inside the Experience' to prove this.

I'm just curious as to what it is you like about a 7th string?  I don't fancy them myself.  Is there an advantage?

Well...When I was a Guitar Player in www.SerpentRise.com

The first is the Jackson Flying V - Dave Mustaine(Megadeth) Model...But with Floyd Rose Bridge and Black also.


And the other...better to me is the Brasilian Bloody Metalic Red and Handmade Tagima...sorry cant remember the model....but its a great guitar....also used by Kiko Loureiro from Angra.


I use to play with Marshall Amplifiers and using Digitech RP1 Effects
