I would like to know what guitar to start out with, if possible a really cool one like that medieval one you posted earlier.

I bought the version of this right before they added the special stuff to it.

Came standard with EMGs and is now tuned to B, no real QC issues that I've ever noticed and it's an amazingly playable guitar.

whats with all the gibson hate? i know their build quality has plummeted in the past couple decades, but i love my sg faded. it's not a high-end model, but it plays and sounds awesome.

the price compared to the QA and actual materials is ridiculous, and the company itself is by all accounts run by a megalomanic who treats all his employees like poo poo

i would think less of someone who bought a genuine gibson over any of the millions of good quality knock offs, or even a cheap chinese rip off honestly.

again, there is a reason that the old japanese companies got in so much trouble for making gibson/fender copies: they were making them better and for cheaper, which shows what a state those two companies are in.

how much would you charge for this kind of madness

Carving terrifies me because I'm poo poo at it. It wouldn't be too expensive to knock a non-crazy craving version up though. The Bo Diddly's are semi-hollow aren't they? Wouldn't be too hard at all...

It was $358. I almost went with a similar one in black that was $300 but got dazzled by the sparkles. From reviews I'm expecting to do a little work on it but then hopefully it will be more than just an awesome wall hanging :shrug:

I agree with this, except the actual fact that even when I go away for months I'm still invoked as the pointy handle-guitar Vai-cum-drinking autist and frankly, I've been probated for responding to that bullshit, too. I guess I just can't win. So if you don't want me, don't bring me up.

I never shitpost in GBS; but this one thread, according to at least another poster here, is amazing at the level of reactions I get to just posting my own opinions.

It really is astounding.

Jesus Christ. My office hours are slow so I come to check out the thread and oh look, it's falling into Faustus bullshit hour again.

Go see a therapist or something and just get out of the thread. You are way too personally invested in not only guitars, but the forums themselves. You set up google notifications when people respond to you, you get personally offended by those whose opinions differ, and your greatest comeback is asking others to play guitar for you, so you can smugly say you're better at the one thing you seem to let define you.

The sadder part is that it isn't even a troll. Look at your rap sheet, you do the same poo poo for other niche topics like a racing video game. You just continue down your path of discussing stupid poo poo that no one else cares about, ignoring every single clue that no one cares at all. This is why people think you are on the autism spectrum. You can't even properly communicate with people on a message board, and are prone to the same predictable behavior over and over.

Learn to separate your own feeling of self worth from forums, stupid ugly guitars, and video games. You must be a horror to be around.

People can have all sorts of opinions, but thanks to the Internet they express them in words that are insulting and degrading. So, if some rear end in a top hat wants to hate on my guitars; then yeah, I would be interested to know if they can play or not. I've put myself out there and I've taken the beatings for it. Will you do that? I'll believe it when I hear it.

no one cares at all.

They sure post a lot for people who don't care, don't they?

It's only posting on a forum. It doesn't actually affect my personal life, or my friends. When she comes home, I'll ask my girlfriend of the last 2 1/2 years if I'm "a horror to be around." She carries a snub-nosed .038, so if I am in trouble with her she could end it pretty quickly.
