How about JEM555? Does it really suck? I thought its a bargain.For the guitar itself i can get for 2000.Does it worth it? There's another Korean made LP thats made in 90s but its using a gibson pickup.Rm1,800.Is it worth the money?I need advise especially on the guitar.As i'm purchasing my electric guitar first time in my life.I need a fat mellow and sweet tone.But when it comes to rocking it won't disappoint me.Something like eric clapton signature but its far too expensive.

I'm sure the JEM555 is genuine.But its not a good buy? I'm still considering.Khairold's LP is good.But its stilla korean made,besides,i don't really like LP.Heavy...but the tone is good...thats for sure.Ask blacktrix.He wants ZW wat.The LP is equpped with EMG pickups.

How about rm1500 for a japanese made strat? or a mexican made telecaster?

which is better? i've always liked telecaster.Just that it can't rock as well as strats.

I know the weight affects the tone.but i think its really heavy.Not the normal heavy,imagine slinging it over ur shoulder and standing for an hour.Thats why LP users are so fit! Slash is one for example! Other than that,can't remember other LP users.Please don't tell me its ZW. I'm thinking about the LP and strat,Which to choose...

Like i say its my first time purchasing an axe.So i need some expert advise from people like you.I dont dare to try out in shops seriously.My skills are not there yet,don't have that kinda guts.Besides bentley gives cutthroat prices right? i always prefer second hand instrument.

Thanks for your help though.find it really useful.

Guys,i appreciate all the help has been given to me.

Just to ask for another favour,how do i really choose what kind of guitar is really suitable for me? Yes,i myself loved LP as well.But money is one of my major problems now.Anyone here can guide me? Or actually if anyone's free can go shopping with me?

Sorry to ask.hehe...

How much you willing to spend? I will always advice buying used. Can get lots of great deal that why. How bout that Ibanez? Seems like a pretty good deal for the price.

yes,i also prefer used guitar.My sifu bought an eric clapton signature for 2k.and its in perfect condition.sighs.can get good deal and u have no obligations.If buy from shop,u get irriatated,those sales ppl talk to u la.bug u this ant that.budget,depends on what guitar.but definitely not more than 2k.i wanna get an amp as well.

My main concern is the style of playing if i buy LP.i Understand that LP's has a thick neck.And i would prefer a tremolo bridge.So my choice now is whether to sacrifice comfort,tremolo and speed for the tone or sacrifice the tone for the 3 i mentioned.Anyway,i'm gonna meet khairold this friday.Gotta test it out.I preffered a marshall amp.Heh...As for effects,not necessary at the moement.

Did i provoked an arguement between everyone or i'm just sensitive?

Yes,most of you think that i'm a noob/beginner.Its for me to know and for you to find out.But i think there's no point to argue over such small matter.Everyone here is a musician and we know how does every musician differs from others.Everyone has different preferences for guitars,amps,tones,settings etc etc.Capisce?

So lets do some self reflection on our own attitude and behaviour when positng comments and remarks here? Our ego's beat our brains at times. Do some thinking whether it will be misunderstood as flame? Just my 2 cents. Peace with everyone! thumbup.gif notworthy.gif

my kustom is pretty cheap already, new price is RM580.
my LP too expensive? i think the price also good.
new LP is about RM2.3, and thats not including the EMGs or hardcase.
but i'll consider any decent price.

and my tele, i might sell it, might not.
the neck on it is real good, but i prefer a strat now.

btw, did you buy khairold's LP? cos someone bought it already.
*
no wonder he never reply me ! #@$%#&#$%#$%

cry.gif sold already....but he already told me its first come first serve basis...

i saw one LP on LYN earlier but the thread i lost it.its around 1350 that comes with a casing.Ur lp comes with hard case? gosh...gimme whole package with ur kustom la...why selling it off anyway? Tele's neck is famous for that wat...

Anyway,Everdying how are we going to deal?
