Even — While I sorta like the idea of making/assembling my own axe, I don't have the time or patience for a project like that. And to be honest, I'm not very good when it comes to building or repairing. But maybe someday I'll take a stab at putting together my own guitar, who knows? BTW...

(This quote is from trebles; it ended up in another thread about guitar sounds, so I copied it here.) I appreciate your dedication to Daguet guitars, trebles. It's obvious you're enthusiastic about them. But do they have a distributor here in America? I'm not willing to buy without playing...

Hey trebles! I think you might have intended for this reply to go in the other thread I started about custom guitars. I'm gonna reply over there, just so you know.

Thanks for playing Listen, it wasn't my intention to get a big ball of ugly rolling with this thread. All the suggestions, advice, and ideas presented about having the actual guitar in hand are points well taken, since I had that understanding prior to the discussion, too. So I appreciate all...

Re: beaverbiscuit I disagree, but I think I see what you're saying. Yes, but from my perspective it seemed to be a comment out of context of the original question, that's all. Interesting that you reached that conclusion, since it could be said about virtually anyone who plays guitar...

I've been noticing a lot of old ADA MP-1 and MP-2 preamps at eBay. Anyone know why these lost favor? Anyone actually using one or the other? I had an MP-1 years ago and thought it was pretty decent, but it got confiscated in a tangled band break-up. Since I have a cabinet but not a good...

Thanks for the info, trebles. I've seen the Daguet site before; the only guitar there that appeals to me is the Proto Birdman, but I don't think I'd really consider it in the long run. It looks well-built and all, but it's scaled like a Gibson and has a Bigsby vibrato. Plus I don't really...

Re: hey even................. I think Even was referring to my original post, because I never once said anything about purchasing a guitar. I was trying to find out the information, but not for the purpose of buying a guitar (at least not right now). I don't know of too many players who have...

Once more, with feeling Okay, thanks again for the input. And my apologies to jimistone if I offended you; I was at low ebb when I replied earlier, and it seemed to me at the time that your answer was kind of like "Get over it." I shouldn't reply to posts when I'm off kilter. That said, it...

Y'all rock! Thanks for the bodacious replies. I didn't specify, but to answer John LaGreca's question I'm looking for electric solidbody guitars. This info should keep me busy for a bit. Thanks again, everyone!

the letterq — I play mostly metal/rock stuff, but I don't limit my playing or writing to that style. I do lots of lighter stuff, including some things that border on funk and ersatz jazz. sonusman — Yeah, I know the issue is more complicated than my simple question. That's why I don't expect...

Like I said, where I live the music stores don't carry enough different instruments to make any real comparisons. For example, I can't go to the place and try an LP followed by a Strat followed by a Parker and then a PRS. They simply don't have them. I'm not trying to be lazy by asking this...

Hey, I need some advice on writing drum parts, and who better to ask than drummers, eh? The one piece of advice I hear most often is to include only notes/beats that a real drummer could pull off playing live. That's good advice as far as it goes, but how does a non-drummer determine what's...

Great responses, y'all! I get distracted for a while and come back to a whole list of stuff — very cool! ez_willis, your Cheap Trick mention is definitely a winner in my book. Some more good stuff: Metallica's version of "Helpless" from *Garage Days Re-Revisited" "Lakeside Park" by Rush...

Okay, I've played guitar for a number of years, but I've never had the fortune to own a truly great one. In fact, I can't really say I've even played a great guitar (or I've forgotten if I have). What I'd really like is if I could hear how some of the different "great" guitars sound in a...

Hey y'all, I did a search for some info on makers of custom or boutique guitars. Though I found some interesting discussions, I didn't really find what I was seeking. I'm trying to find websites for as many luthiers as possible, mostly for comparison purposes. The two main sources I have so...

Thought of another one: Pantera — "Clash With Reality"

Thought of some more! BTW, an example doesn't have to be a stellar performance if it's at least memorable (several examples are in the group below). Quiet Riot — "Cum On Feel the Noize" Trust — "Prefabricated" Kiss — "Rock and Roll All Nite" Twisted Sister — "We're Not Gonna Take It" Gotta...

Well. . . . . . I wouldn't count the Nirvana tune, since it really starts with three bars of clean guitar. But including Billy Cobham offsets that, so it's okay. :D

Okay, so I've seen tons of different polls and such here in this site, but most of them have been "best/favorite guitarist" or whatever. I'm not a drummer, but I was thinking the other day of some songs that open with drums and/or percussion and thought I'd see what else y'all would submit if I...
