Cool. Pics? :D

I've got some cheap ass guitars...then again, it's not my primary instrument. I'm a drummer. I like to "beat my skins" in public if you know what I mean. :naughty: haha, I made a corny drummer joke. yay. why am I still awake....

I have a 1982 Ibanez electric 6 string that sounds awesome...nice and warm, very resonant...picked it up from a blind guy at a flea market for $50 with a hardcase. Have a dean, fender, and LTD as well. My amp sucks the big one though....crappy peavey bandit 112.

yea, man, pawn shops. are awsome, although i found out that they want top dollar.
if you were to find a average beginer guitar at a pawn shop, I found out that thaey want want its worth, , but you might be able to bartle with them, even though it might be beat up an all,
I use to do the pawn shops all the time to find a cool deal.

there's this one big chain called "guitar centers "
an I see all thes cheeper model guitars for like 99 dollars, an 150 dollars.. ,,, there cheeper beginer guitars, but there brand new, and thats all that matters for a beginer,,, its not like ya need a gibson les paul....

um hold it like you were going to play it an look down on it, and gage the didtance between the string and the fret boord, ,, that called the action,,, the lesser the distance , the better,,
look at the neck to try an see if its bowed out or crooked... , mabe play some noted, and see if any of the notes are muffled , thats called ,, dead spots,, stay a way from them, costs a bit to fix the,,,

I got a Gibson SG with blue/green flip flop paint (recording), a surf green custom Fender strat (live), a black Ibanez GiO (for the hell of it), a red fender p-bass (recording/live), an Ibanez performance acoustic/electric guitar (recording/live), and an EKO 12 string acoustic (for the hell of it). I have a Ludwig drumset with 5 Zildjian ZXT cymbals, MG100 Marshall Halfstack (guitar amp), Peavey TNT 115 (bass amp), and an electric piano. And I can play everyone of them very well. But my primary is guitar. Lol. My neighbors hate me. I didnt realize I had so much equipment until i started listing them. I record everything onto my Boss BR1180 mixer.
