lol I'm not german dude. That was the first site that came up when I googled stratocaster.
And I really, really don't want an acoustic guitar. Like I pointed out, if there's a way to hook the guitar up to my laptop, I'll do great, since I got a good soundcard/speaker set-up ;)
I'm not in America either. I live in Europe dude lol.
First we gotta have sex, then I'll give you my exact address, deal? :-*
This will be a groundbreaking change in our affair :heart
But I like the sound of electric guitars :(
Heavy Metal :rock
of course that doesn't always mean fast and aggressive riffs/solos. There are plenty of slow solos
wait haven't we just discussed with Cormaccaroni that it was possible to hook the guitar up to my comp and elliminating the need for an amp? ???
Yes but it will sound like crap unless you buy software and hardware to make it sound good. Also, do you have good speakers and/or headphones cause then it'll still sound crappy even if you have the appropriate software/hardware.
I can give you free mini lessons when you get your guitar too. :-*
I love you so much..
Hey Taun, won't that guitar sound shitty though?
the one I suggested of course >:(
It won't sound horrible but don't expect to have it sound like a $1200 guitar going through a $2000 amp system or something. ;)

Is the Fender CD100CE (http://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender-CD100CE-Acoustic-Electric-Guitar-517572-i1149497.gc) a good starter acoustic, or would you recommend something else? I would prefer an acoustic/electric combo, but straight acoustic is fine so long as the body isn't gigantic.
That mexi strat is a good starting guitar. It's good for practicing (which you'll be doing) while not knowing what the fuck you're doing (which you won't) and banging the thing against a ceiling fan. Sound is going to be shit compared to a nice setup, easy fix: once you can play and want to record just slap in a better set of pickups. voila. It's still not going to naturally sound as nice as a $1000 guitar, but you can fix that with effects etc, etc.http://www.musicstore.de/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/MusicStore-MusicStoreShop-Site/en_EN/-/EUR/ViewProductDetail-Start;pgid=TOZgS6SfaObm0000000000000000nVT2YJV5?CatalogVideo=&ProductUUID=y6LVqHzmAGwAAAEX5YFgyFit&CatalogCategoryID=4zfVqHzlSHgAAAEVdhxWf70R&JumpTo=OfferList# (http://www.musicstore.de/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/MusicStore-MusicStoreShop-Site/en_EN/-/EUR/ViewProductDetail-Start;pgid=TOZgS6SfaObm0000000000000000nVT2YJV5?CatalogVideo=&ProductUUID=y6LVqHzmAGwAAAEX5YFgyFit&CatalogCategoryID=4zfVqHzlSHgAAAEVdhxWf70R&JumpTo=OfferList#)

edit: WAIT, gimped ibanez total. No wykd trem or lock on neck? what a fucking abomination.
Holy shit it's been like 4+ years since I played, I always just used small Peavey. I always wanted this though: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Crate-GLX212-120Watt-2x12-Combo-Amp-with-Effects?sku=487689&src=3SOSWXXA (ps: musician's friend is pretty much the best site to buy from)
I want to learn how to play guitar. My dad builds his own guitars and they're really beautiful and sound great. I can't even play a damned scale.
I fail as a son.
yeah i fail as a daughter too :( my dad's a huge guitar freak (although he doesn't build them) but he does collect them and has some pretty damn sweet guitars... i like his american strat :)
i can play a guitar scale and some really simple songs, but that's it. :(
hey i won't argue that the yanks make superior guitars, just like the swiss make superior watches :swiss

Hmm, crate's are bad news bears dude. If you need to turn them up their sound goes to crap. How serious are you about playing with other people? Either way I'd recommend an all tube amp, you can get one in combo form like these:

Yeah I know tube amps > solid state any day. I didn't want that amp for bands or anything, it is however the perfect practice amp. It has like 20 nobs with which my friend was able to replicate practically any sound you could want for playing covers. Van Halen - eruption? yep. Stevey Vai? yep. Black Sabbath? mhmm, and on and on....2 x 12 is also the perfect size for you to sit on top of if you want to.
I don't know about Crate nowadays, but whatever the reputation of their other stuff they at least made one good amp. My old friends I used to play with that swore by it know their shit, they are incredibly good...like "through the fire and the flames" good, depressingly good. :o
