My dad has a Gibson like that kicking around from the 70's that he still plays. Got a few Gibsons actually.

shit, nice. they must sound great if they are that old. I've seen some Gibsons from the 60s go out for $60 000 on ebay.

I have a 1981 Gibson ES-335TD. It's the sweetest guitar I've ever played. Looks very similar to the picture you posted, though it has a really dark cherry finish and almost looks black from a distance.

Damn, those hollow-bodies own! Have you tried going to pawn shops klein ? They sometimes have really sweet guitars for very low prices. Too bad there aren't any in my town

Ops, found another handy site

I've had this baby for quite some time now, it's a Peavey Raptor Special, and it's got a nice slim neck, whilst still retaining evenly spaced strings. It's sturdy as hell and cheap as well, a good guitar.

As far as learning how to play it goes, I would've recommended http://%7boption%7d or http://%7boption%7d, but they seem to have been pwnd by the RIAA :\

Holy shit, have you guys ever heard of guitarpro ? It's sooo useful! You can load a tab on it and it'll play the song for you and stuff. Really useful for beginners. It even has some tools to help you tune your guitar, but I

haven't find out how to properly use this feature yet.

Anyways, the site is: http://www.guitar-pro.com/

Good stuff

(I just learned Go with the flow (qotsa) with that program )

So I bought a new guitar today...

Epiphone Riviera... Sounds AWESOME and looks great..but..

something is fucked up with two strings on two frets... and when i unplugged the cable of my amp from the guitar just now the little ring came right off and something else dropped into the guitar (it's a hollow body guitar) and is now rolling around in there so i cant plug in the amp anymore. Anyone ever have this problem before?

this is the piece before it came off:

can't you get it out of those fancy curvey holes or are those not holes?

I tried but it seems like there is a "wall" inside the guitar between the fancy holes and the place where you plug in the amp...i cant see it..

boo. you cant unscrew/pry out the cap ring thing? your bet bet might be to put a magnet on a string and put it in the hole, then try to pull the fallen piece back into the hole with some needle nose pliers

im gonna bring it back to the store after work and have them do it. i dont wanna break anything. and i do think i have a warranty on the thing

puss :wink:

That guitar looks awesome klein

it sounds awesome too =D

lets hope they fix the fuckup on it so i can start playing it again

Time for a rebirth of the "post recordings of your instrument" thread I think guys??

Yeah I know it's a really sad and kinda depressing song but it's fun to play and relaxing to listen to... (at least in my opinion)

gonna post some more other stuff in the coming days...

that was played with this guitar btw (YAMAHA FG730S):

Nice. And I mean that literally as well as instrumentally — my microphone comes out more like a phone signal.

You should make a new thread with it though so others see it and post their shit. Phish might even post some of his cello.

yeah i used to have this shitty headset that i used to record stuff.... now i bought a proper desk mic by logitech....and yeah, the guitar actually sounds like a guitar now! hurray
