hello, I went out to check out some electric guitars today. I live in Delhi, so visited Patel Nagar's RajMusicals and Music Hub. The guy at Rajmusicals suggested and let me test out the following electric guitar setup- Yamaha ERG121 U - 10k Stranger 20W amp - 3.3k Boss GN1 processor - 3.7k He asked for a total amount of 16.5k. but since I came to survey, I told him so. Anyway, is that a good setup for my budget (16-18k) ????????? I also wanted to try Dean Vendetta, and ESP EC 10, cort x-2 and so on. But teh guy kept insisting that Yamaha was the ultimate setup for me . What do u guys think? Should I get a better amp? or should I try another guitar? I play all type of stuff - Metal Rock Alt. Rock Blues So wouldn't wanna miss out on anything. Me and my mates are trying to complete a song in alt. rock genre, which we will release soon. So I really wanna know as quick as possible. all suggestions are welcome!!!
Dont ever go for yamaha, Try Aria STG series... I have Aria STG - 006 and it rocks... I bought it from lajpat nagar... Dean vendatta would be quite ***y but u will get their low end model at that price...
Just try out every possible combination in ur budget, take out the time for it even if it takes hours. And i guess you're talking about that guy with curly hair at RajMusicas, he does give good advice but is very opinionated. And do try to bargain,guitar shops usually quote prices a bit higher than the list price.
Yeah, that was exactly what I was tryin to do. But just didn't have enough time cos I hadn't thought much about getting a processor, only my friend who accompanied me recommended it. I talked to that North-eastern guy, who sits in the guitar room. He showed us the processor with a stranger amp, and I was very much impressed with the range of sounds I was able to get. Anyway, I am thinking of trying the following the next time I visit (next week maybe)- 1. ESP LTD m10 and a few other ESPs below 12k. 2. Cort x-1 & x-2 3. Dean Vendetta tremolo 4. Dean EVO 5. Yamaha pac 012j 6. BC rich ASM 1. 7.Washburn RG series 8. Fender squire (of course ) Do suggest any other guitar which u think I should try as well.
well...the first thing would be to "avoid the floyd"...don't get a tremelo, they'll be a big liability. and do try to find a Cort Z42 its a great guitar...or so i've heard, and also has Coil Tap. out of the guitars you suggested ESP LTD and Cort are the best, and the last time i saw a Dean Evo XM over there it was banged up, so do check if its okay, but i'd suggest you stay away from it.
