I see that Beau's is still firmly implanted in his ass. He didn't misspell anywords in the post though so there might be hope for him yet.

Don't be dissing Guilds, man. Have you played their D-55? Have you played a Bendetto? If you played a Benedetto, you would be biting your tounge right now. Benedettos are posibly the best guitars ever made. They are expensive as hell, but once you play one, you see why they are that price, and it's justifiable.



Also, ever played a Tacoma? They are wonderful.


Also, what's wrong with electircs? Don't like them? Go talk to Clapton, Santana, Pete Townshend, Paul McCartney, and Tim.

Hammers? Those are VERY special hihg quality electircs, you get one, they melt in your hands. Gretsch, if they are so bad, why did George play one?



oh yeah, RICKENBACKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



there are other great guitars beside Martin and Taylors.

Thats very nice Ranting, but I do prefer Martins and Taylors. I have a few of each, and I have played those. I just like the sound and feel. Is that too hard for you to believe that I like their guitars? There is a reason why they are considered the best.
Sure, Gretsch are nice. You dont think that George had his "souped" up just for though? I do. Its not the same guitar you can get at the store. Okay, I will go ask Timmy and Santana and Eric. No matter what they say, Im not going to enjoy playing those guitars. Did I ever diss a guild? Did anyone? I hate Tacomas. played a few back in the day and there is a reason why I didnt get it. I like Taylors and Martins. They suite me. Its just the way I am. regardless the headstock.

Alvarez is ridiculously underrated. Unless you're willing to drop big bucks, any $400 Alvarez is better than a $1000 Martin/Taylor.
Stay with me, safe and ignorant.
