All mine are shit. Probably pick up a new guitar just to play while I procrastinate taking mine apart and fixing a grounding problem in it. At least I think it's a grounding problem. It's probably just the jack... but I won't know for sure until I get it on my work bench and start taking it apart.Oh, which guitar are you getting? You play electric right?I do play electric. I have a Fender Stratocaster (21 fret neck). I've been tuning my guitar down a lot due to the songs I've been learning (most are CGCFAD, one is DADGBE, one is BbFBbEbGC; regular guitar tuning is EADGBE) and one of the songs I'm learning requires more frets than the standard Stratocaster I have has. The difference in string tension/ string gauge from the standard tuning and my lowest tuning is so great, I need two different gauge strings to be able to make the guitar playable, and the fact that I need a guitar with more frets to play all the songs I'm working on, I'm thinking I'm going to get a guitar that's more suitable for the music I'm creating.I'm looking to pick up a Jackson Dinky to keep heavier gauge strings on. It has a full 2 octave neck (24 frets) so it more than meets my criteria.

I had an epi les paul years ago. I gave it to a friend who knew someone that was going to redo the fret board.... and I never saw it again. :-/

I gave it to a friend who knew someone that was going to redo the fret board.... and I never saw it again. :-/He stole from you?! It's a little more complicated than that... always is. At the time, I was idk 18 years old? My friend was a girl who I had a thing with, and her friend was one of her guitar instructors, who had a band thing, and I didn't exactly feel comfortable with. At the time, I couldn't put my finger on what I didn't like about the guy, so I said fuck it, I need my guitar fixed. Now that I'm older, and understand the world/feelings a little better, I'd put my bottom dollar on the guy being a little too personal with his students. Regardless, the uneasy feeling I had about him led e to writing off the guitar as a loss.
As I'm ticking off items, I'm adding just as much. I'm very pleased with my progress on my account because of this.
The list is getting longer
