My boy's been playing for about a year now and absolutely can't get enough, literally plays for hours every night.
I got him a Fender Stratocaster and a small Marshall amp for Xmas last year, and was hoping some of the "gitfiddle" pros on the board could steer me towards some worthwhile gadgets (phase shifters, wah-wah, etc.) that are out now. It's been 20 years since I picked up my Univox and I have no idea what's "state-of-the-art" anymore. Wanted to keep the price for worthy guitar gizmos to around $200 or so. Maybe even a descent acoustic would be the ticket! (He's bigtime into Eric Clampton, Pink Floyd, and some of the old school finger pickin' stuff like "Classical Gas") Any suggestions? Kevin |

Great thread!
Get the acoustic! After I foolishly let go of my Guild 12 string, I only had electrics for about 7 years. My strat/Boss GT-3 Processor/ Fender Princeton was my favourite combo. But my wife wanted something for me to play "gently" around the house. When I got back to the acoustic I found out just how sloppy I had gotten. If you want to learn, want to improve, want to keep your chops up.....grab the acoustic. As Keith Richards says..."I don't even keep an electric guitar in my house!" I was looking for a cheaper, knock-about acoustic. I tried Yamahas, baby Taylors, a few Epiphones. My wife suprised me at Christmas with a new Ibanez Perfomance model. Set her back about $200. I was a little taken back. Ibanez? Of course I tried to act pleased. And I picked it up. End result? I LOVE THIS INSTRUMENT! Finish quality control is a little low...but it plays like a dream. Most importantly. As Jerry says. Pick one up and play it. Then try another. Find the one you love. And buy THAT one! Have fun! Play on! Oh, I still pick up the Strat everyday! |
