i would love to have a Les Paul, as for BC Rich, some of the ugliest guitars i have ever seen Undecided

i can proudly say i will never play nor own one. (just my opinion though)

I wouldn't call it an ugly guitar, but its a pain in the arse for me to tune. Other than that, I like it.

I wonder if guitars for left-handers are more expensive than guitars for right-handers.

Sometimes, yes. But you can buy a right-handed guitar, reverse the strings and play it up-side-down. Jimi Hendrix did that.

cool, I love seeing some of the rigs and guitars people have...

I'm especially fond of that marshall amp setup..

I like the tonal quality I get out of my marshall amps.. Wink

I have the following:

Arianna Classical Guitar
Texarkana full-size dreadnought accoustic
Les paul special model II (Cherry sunburst)
Samick stages 3 (black german version of the stratocaster)
Fender Stratacoustic (black)
Alvarez 12 string dreadnought (my favorite)

I have two different amps, my marshall VS115 and another off brand amp which is designed primarily for accoustic and microphone amplification.. Wink

Pigeon: Jag HH, no tremolo. You might be able to have one installed, tho. Something else about Jaguars: They have a short scale length (bridge to nut), only 24", compared to Gibson's usual 24.75" and Strats at 25.5". So you might want to play one if you haven't already with that in mind.

I think he didn't even reverse the strings... Shocked

Hmmm... I never played one, but then again, I'm not planning to get one soon. I wouldn't buy a guitar without playing it first anyway. Wink

But again, thanks for the info!

It's not a VERY good amp, but I think it's the best around without tubes. If I could afford a tube amp I would get the new 'mode four'. Man, that thing is brutal! 8)

Pidgeon is right, Hendrix played left handed and upside down with the 1E up top and the 6E on the bottom, way to hard for me, haha

It was a well-known fact back then that Hendrix did in fact reverse the strings, with 6E up and 1E down. There are enough clear pictures in the books 'Jimi Hendrix Sessions' and 'Inside the Experience' to prove this. Whereas left-handed Strats were available back then, considering the number of guitars he went through, it was more practical for Jimi to just flip one upside down. The only lefty guitarist that I know of who did not do a string reversal was Dick Dale, the self-proclaimed "King of the Surf Guitar", who, with the Deltones, emerged in 1962 in California playing a flipped Strat without reversing the strings, with some rather strange playing results.

I'm just curious as to what it is you like about a 7th string? I don't fancy them myself. Is there an advantage?

There's several things you can do. First, there's no need to buy a baritone guitar or tune down. Second, you can work out some pretty cool solo guitar techniques including bass/melody stuff. I can play 3 octave arpeggios with just 2 position shifts. I also worked out some really useful chord voicings that includes the B string. They have a wide range of tonality, that you could only achive with a piano. Plus, just having that extra string gives you more choices. So If I want to do an ascending run, I could start it from the B string, further up the fretboard, or on the E string down the fretboard. It's my choice depending on what I ultimately want to do.
