faster reply got no time ^^

those r not really an upgrade. u better off save somemore to buy something better imo.

ok something better like wat?

epi lp

Like my rgr321ex. Don't laugh at me.

I agree that the guitar you listed above isn't that big a step up from your current pacifica.

You should be aiming for something like, I dunno, A Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani or Vai's signature low end guitars...... or something like an S series or maybe like enteryourusername says, an Epiphone Les Paul Standard or heck, a Jackson RR3 or something around that range.......

Since you already have a first guitar, save up for a damn good one.

A UKULELE!

okok saving time tring to get epiphone lp standard

this is NOT a place to buy and sell.
Check the trade zone for that.

Take your time.Les Paul Special II?Not a 2nd guitar.What music do you play?

moving to an LP special II is like moving from Kancil to Proton.

Off topic
Cool song... need a bit more work on the vibrato though

On topic
The pacifica is based on a strat right? You might want to look something that gives you a differnet kind of sound, ie. something with two humbuckers, or something with a floating bridge.
Also, depends on what sort of music you'd like to play with the 2nd guitar.

yup.. shud get a better one like epi LP, or ibz RG, or the yamaha pacifica higher series

I wouldn't bother if I were you.

if I were to upgrade, I'll make the upgrade really worthwhile.

save up RM2k-3k and reward yourself with an awesome axe after that, it's worth it

If u really insist on the humbucker, upgrade ur bridge pickup to a seymour duncan or dimarzio hum cancelling strat pickup.. those are thicker in tone.

Your pacifica is a good beginner model.

he's already feeling GAS xD
welcome to the club bro. but yeah, save up abit. the pacifica should last you quite awhile.

For a second guitar, you really should look to get something better in quality. What is your budget, and what music do you play?

where your epi is made makes a massive difference thou.
I tested a MIC epi LP-100 vs a MIK epi SG standard. guess which one had a fatter, richer tone? the SG. In fact, i didn't even realize that it was MIK until i noticed it sounded fatter and warmer than the LP, then i checked with the shop dude.

P.S. ==> the SG i'm talking about is at chambers. It's hidden in the corner somewhere near the kerry king signature.

i wouldn't sell the microcube. good enough for bedroom practice
buying pedals is all up to you, go try out a few and see if you like the sound of them.
i'm thinking of getting a 2nd guitar too, still saving money cuz i'm planning to get at least an above average one cuz i don't think i'll be getting any other guitar after this one unless i sell off one(dont want to have more than 2 guitars).

imo, get something that will last you for the rest of your life
don't rush your decision

soo how much is the guitar u will be getting just curious

Added on April 30, 2008, 1:03 amiev decided that my budget will be 1500+ just for the guitar

my budget for my 2nd guitar would be around 2k - 2.5k ? or if i find one that i really like i might push it to max 3k

i think u shoulden watch videos and use it to judge wat guitar u wanna buy.. go to shop test.. then ask here if u cant decide.. 1.5k budget..imo i think u stick with ur pacifica and save up More...like sweet tooth's budget should do the job of a real upgrade...

Yea, save up some more, that budget can only get you a beginner/intermediate guitar. 2.5k would be the best starting off point. And if you solo a lot, i don't think the Epi LP would suit you because it has a chunky-ish neck, 22 frets and hard upper register access.

then wat suits me?... im gonna take a look at the lp la...

the harmonic response is Good...

anyway which one do u guys recommend? so that i can test later

i got a pgm3 .. interested pm me cheers

i prefer the washburn N4 if you could still find it. been playing it since iam 17yrs old and now i am 33 and i am still playing it ;p

Im looking for a EXCELLENT guitar which can last me for ages and not changing . my budget 3k-4k .. looking at Fender and Ibanez..

Cheers

P:S Selling off my PGM3 , Pm me if yr guys interested

Ibanez RG Prestige series?What music do you play?

rOCK , METAL , BLUES , SOLOS?

gibson les paul, either studio or standard. guess cash is not a problem for u.

If I were you i'll go for something that lets me easy access to higher frets.

Fender is better than LP for this i think, but Ibanez is the best..

I love the rgr321ex and it's 24 frets.

i prefer a birdeye maple fingerboard.. if not i wud ask my dad to go to sg and get me the slash les paul ..

Added on April 30, 2008, 5:09 pmim aiming for that so any other suggestion or this is final ....

any other guitar price like that LP but better quality

You sure you want an LP?They're not very 'shreddy'.I find their necks damn thick and it's like impossible to reach the higher frets.But I think Zakk Wylde's is pretty 'shreddable'.

well if you think a standard LP isnt 'shreaddable' then so will the zakk wylde

Really?I thought the zakk wylde wan is kinda slim?

ZW uses 59 neck profile.

Zakk Wylde's neck is as thick as a baseball bat......
But the epi's version is slightly slimmer then the full Gibson one according to Everdying.

Alah...Wish they would make an LP with slim satin neck.Kinda thought of getting the Zakk Wylde LP...

Hehe,sorry for the hijack TS.

yea, the epi ZW neck isnt thick...the epi necks in general fall somewhere in between the 59 and 60 style...closer to the 60.

and who said thick neck not shreddable? you think trivium's former les paul customs had thin necks?
you think the dimes have thin necks? dream on.
like everything its technique, the thin necks just make it easier if your technique is right.

If you have long fingers that is.

Then you could reach those higher frets when the body blocks your palm.

my fingers are really short, and i can access higher frets on my les paul. its only 22 frets not 24.

if you have your thumb behind neck position pretty much nailed down, thick or thin necks doesnt really affect that much. i prefer thick necks coz it gives me more control when i do bends (with the thumb over neck position)

I am not really good at picking out guitars, but I managed to get my Mexican Strat from Mighty Music SS2 for about RM1k. It also is fairly reliable and rather sturdy. Not sure what you play since YouTube won't load ATM, but my Mex Strat has never screwed up and I would definitely recommend it to you.

wow girlie xD

heheheh...... careful......



But the Les Paul is VERY shreddable on the upper frets. But I would rather play shredding solos on the RR3 because of the wider frets and the thinner strings. My Les Pauls are setup for "chunky" playing. But I do pull of solos quite well on the Les Pauls......


...............that is of course my VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY limited shredding skills
Don8ld can probably run circles around me.

Which guitar is a good upgrade ??? guitar especially for rock and pop @_@"
jz curious @_@.. lolz

Stratocaster! Hehehhe.

I heard Stagg is good, cheaper and way better than squier's quality. Get it before they increase the price.
