Bringing the word "Ibanez" to a conversation about guitars
is just showing off

You lucky bastard

not really
some of them are cheap and a bit shit.

Not the Iceman though
Admittedly I should have phrased the above more carefully
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 9 Mar 2010, 15:47, Reply)

Do they sound nice?

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 9 Mar 2010, 15:48, Reply)

Mine was quite cheap so sounds a bit rough
(just how I like my women)

Women like that are a dime a dozen
Your guitar had better sound nice because it looks dreadful!

shut it
those guitars look fricking awesome
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 9 Mar 2010, 16:01, Reply)

They look like
what a scandinavian would draw if someobody said "Hey Lars, draw me the most cocking, rocking geetar yeah?"
*swishes off in leather kecks doing rock fingers*

That particular guitar bears a frightening resemblance to the Persian Gulf.

both of those things are reasons why it looks good
you have proved my point

( djtrialprice, Tue 9 Mar 2010, 16:10, Reply)

but it looks like that bit on the map
the bit that looks like a bug's buggy bits.

I hate guitars with horns.

lame
even my acoustic guitar has a pointy bit, much like this one

WHY DO THEY HAVE TO HAVE HORNS!
It's tacky.
My Tanglewood would make Francis proud.

it's not at all
it looks good.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 9 Mar 2010, 16:21, Reply)

it looks like
"My guitar was well boss but it didn't have enough testosterone"
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 9 Mar 2010, 16:23, Reply)

not at all
it gives it a pleasing asymmetry

it also means you can play much further up the neck. can't play much beyond the 12th fret on standard acoustic guitar, which is no use to anyone.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 9 Mar 2010, 16:25, Reply)

Oh man you've got technical
I was on about aesthetics.
I can only play about 6 chords.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 9 Mar 2010, 16:27, Reply)

it's not all about aesthetics
granted they need to look good, but beyond that it's far more important how they play and sound.

which is why I don't have a Les Paul, because I don't get on with how they play

I used to own one of these
before Dimebag whassis face made them popular. It was stolen. I cried.

it looks so bad it's good
imo. Sounded beeeyoutiful.
( djtrialprice, Tue 9 Mar 2010, 16:23, Reply)

I've still got one somewhere.
Probably one of the most comfortable guitars I've ever had in my lap.
Looks bloody silly though.

hahaha, only teasing
that guitar sounded amazing. Shame I could never take it anywhere as it wouldn't fit in a sodding guitar case.

the guitar, it's taken for granted that I have got myself.

Is it wrong
that my eyes were immediately drawn to the goatee?

Didn't expect that. No idea why

Edit: but it is nice to know that we're not the same person after all. I can't pull off facial hair. Hehe... "pull off"

my beard is pretty awesome. you haven't been here long enough to realise that most of us have beards. ladies included.

Showing my age again,
My Sherry, Pride and Joy. (Or one v similar).
Can't play for shite, though.
Gone acoustic lately too. Another age thing.
( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Tue 9 Mar 2010, 15:50, Reply)

my co-conspirator has one of those
I'm not a fan, and I can't play it without making it go horribly out of tune. I think it knows I don't like it and the feeling is mutual.

They need to be luurved.

They aren't the only ones.

( girlinthehole, Tue 9 Mar 2010, 15:56, Reply)

so it would seem
doesn't suit my style really. the guy has a couple of nice telecasters as well, and we have a long running argument about which is better out of mine and his guitars.

clearly mine are best, you just need to see my Strat to know that.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 9 Mar 2010, 15:57, Reply)

Telecasters are the best
Stratocasters are slags
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 9 Mar 2010, 16:09, Reply)

don't be ridiculous
not only do Strats sound better, they play better and look better as well.

They're the guitary equivalent of a yellow sportscar

I'm in the Tele camp myself
I can't fault a Strat - and my guitarist's Strat is a particularly beautiful bit of kit - it's just never really captivated me and made me think "ZOMFG I have to own one of these." Last time I tried a Telecaster, on the other hand, I was really quite taken with the honk of the bridge pickup.

But then I'm one of those awkward buggers who think SGs are far nicer than Les Pauls, so you might want to ignore whatever I say. (Plus I'm normally on bass anyway.)
