new guitar (eventually)

Oct 09, 2006 20:07

So, I'm thinking wistfully about eventually getting a new guitar.  A semi-good to good one.  I use the words "wistfully" and "eventually," because honestly right now there are more important things that need my financial attention, like school or a new car.  However, it's never too early to think about what I might be able to buy with the next bonus (har har) or tax return... depending on where I am with bills at that point of course.  ANYWAY, I'm having a tiny bit of a
I have like a zillion bookmarked pages from online music places, because I'm really not too sure of what I want.  I'm pretty sure I don't want a strat, or even a strat-styled guitar, because I already have two of those.  Actually, for reference, here are my current guitars:

Picture this one as not a Fender and with the 3rd pickup colored in black with a Sharpie because I was cool like that 10 years ago, and that's pretty much what my guitar looks like:


Then picture this one with a little rust, scratches, gauges, and chunks of paint missing, and there you have my other guitar:


So, I think what I want is an SG.  Well, rather, an SG copy, because I seriously cannot see myself paying over $1000 for a guitar.  Most of them come in black or red, and I like the red...


but it's kind of played out.  Then, there's sunburst....


but then it might look like I'm addicted to sunburst.  Which I am.  I'm seriously thinking about this one, actually, because it's a little different, I love sunburst-ish finishes, and it's about $100 cheaper than this one...


but seriously, this one is hot.  Even if it's $600.  Yep.  So, that's my dilemma.  Red, Sunburst, or White?  $400, $500, or $600?  Only time will tell, folks.  Only time will tell.

Which one do you like most?

Mmmm, pretty guitars.
