Do any members here play the guitar?

[Simon G]

Great advice lads.
It's like a can of worms!

Ok Amp wise I'm contemplating the Blackstar Core 10:

http://www.andertons.co.uk/combo-amps/pid32114/cid691/blackstar-id-core-10-guitar-amp.asp

Small enough for me to learn with and use in a room.
Seems to be kitted out with everything I need thereafter:
MP3 connection, various settings and effects.
Looks good via Youtube

Guitar wise, I think my heart is set on a Jackson for sure.
Dinky.
But it's just a case of which Dinky now.
Budget will be around ?200-?250.
Don't necessarily have to max out.
I think I need to get in to a store and handle the babies…
Ideally would like one with a whammy bar (built in to the tremolo? is that right )

Andertons are the best music store in the uk and staff are very helpful. The do a Jackson dinky which is only about ?100. I picked it up just to have a look and sounded and played amazing. Anything by blackstar is going to be good.

I received a small windfall today and decided to treat myself to something other than cigars.

As such I'll shortly be receiving a Jackson JS32T Dinky, Fender Mustang V2 modelling amp and a copy of Rocksmith 2014 and I can't bloody wait! [emoji16]

Best part is the guitar was only ?149 from Andertons, even if it is bright yellow [emoji41]

Well you certainly won't mislay it that's for sure

It was that or Sky Blue which as a Utd fan was just anathema to me.

Matches your budgie smugglers lol

Sh!t man, that looks sweet! Love the look of those pick ups too!

I'm still umming and arring as to whether or not to take the plunge... The Mrs is kinda ok about it, unsure if it's gonna be a Xmas treat for me or not... Will have to wait a few days to see if I'm right

Popped to PMT in Romford the other day. No jacksons on display, so a bit gutted. And the member of staff seemed a little protective and reluctant to say, "feel free to pick up and hold anything you like the look of", felt a bit reluctant to feel totally relaxed, as a newb. Next stop if anything will be guitarguitar over in Epsom, where they display jacksons

[Simon G]

Still researching and reading up on learning the fret board

[Budgie Smuggler]

I love the sound of the Jackson and having spoken to the Brother of a mate who works in the guitar dept of Forsyths in Manchester (who don't sell Jacksons) he said that I should buy it before they sell out as he cant get me anything of that quality close to that price, even with his discount.

[Simon G]

Just looked online and yes, great purchase.... Great deal...
Fecking Great price man!

my budget is around 200 or so, for the guitar.

Amp just has to be something small for home, hence the Blackstar Core 10 for ?89

[Budgie Smuggler]

Fecking Great price man!

I'm just glad my money didn't come through last week when it was over ?200!

[Simon G]

Well best of luck bud, dead chuffed for you...
can you play, and if so how long have you been playing for?
