I don't have the vocals, but I can sing with my strings. Your wife probably encouraging acoustic because a. You don't have to spend hundreds on a decent amp. b. It'll be infinitely quieter than an electric. Personally, I like the Strat style guitars. I've got a couple. One is a Fernandes Guitars red strat which looks similar to the Fender that Mark Knopfler plays. The other is a frankenstrat that I got for $350 - way over paid but it's a heavy beast and it's good some good parts on it. Unfortunately I decided to put some heavy strings on to give them a try and it started pulling the bridge out of the body. I'll have go change out the 13s for some 9s. The other I have is a Lyon by Washburn. The neck is a little warped on this one and I'll sometimes bend the high e accidentally off the edge and it'll get stuck on the fret. I really need to get rid of it. It's not that good but it was useful when I started playing. As for acoustic, I have a cheap First Act that I picked up for $15 and it has quite a nice sound do it but it does feel as cheap as it was. I don't play much acoustic so I'm not too bothered. Finally, my pride and joy is my Republic guitar. If you've ever seen the cover of Brothers in Arms...it looks just like that, the diamond cuts, the sand etchings...it's a thing of beauty and Romeo and Juliet sounds amazing on it. Still, with all that I have a crappy amp. It's a Marshall but it's solid state rather than tube. You can really tell the difference. My budget didn't stretch to a tube amp so I got the best I could afford at the time. It's done its job but I really want to get a big boy amp now! --- SBBSecho 3.06-Linux * Origin: End Of The Line BBS - endofthelinebbs.com (1:124/5016) |
