Not true at all. Peerless, the company that made Epiphones for Gibson in Korea in the 90's, make some seriously good stuff. They are probably nicer than the cheaper USA made Gibsons these days. Also with you're budget you can and should get a tube amp. From what I've heard of the Vox AC15vr, is not supposed to be that good, though im sure you can go check it out at Furtados
^yeah but that is the exception rather than the rule. Thanks for the replies guys. Vader, why no to prs se custom 24? I have heard only praise for it everywhere. That ok amp comment was in reply to the suggestion for buying amp under 10k. I agree toalmost everything you say, except greg bennett the av6 and the tr3 are good. I am inclined now towards a godin freeway cl or exit 22 with vypyr 75 around 52k but anyway I'm going to bargain for atleast 10-15% discount. I am going to stay at Thane so will segno be worth checking out? Furtados has dissapointed me completely they have nothing in stock no good guitars, no decent amps. Musicians mall only has the s series and nothing else. Ibanez S I'm not too sure, I love the guitar but the locking trem is bugging me. It is high maintainance, tuning it itself is hard so it may not be good now when I plan toexperiment a lot. I'm not going for tube because I don't know what tone I'm after, I will try a few out on the vypyr and then get a nice half stack maybe a few years from now when I'm more confident about what I want
Do check out Bhargavas Its opposite to Inorbit mall, Malad. they stock Godin and Suhr guitars. I have seen a few Parkers as well over there.
^bhargavas is my first choice, they are the only ones that stock godin so I thought you might guess i was already considering bhargavas. They have tthe most guitars in this price range and almost all the amps and some boutique stuff too.
IF you want to experiment get the pod hd300/500 whichever is in your budget with hd202 headphones thank me later enuff said now its upto you i was the one who planted the vypyr virus here so...
What does "suit us" mean? Are you talking about playability or looks? Even through a crap amp? I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy playing a Pacifica through a good tube amp just as much if not more. And amps are? How do you upgrade an amp? Are you going to switch out the capacitors? John Petrucci must be an idiot playing basswood guitars then. 20k Schecter and Ibanez guitars are no better or worse. All the versatility in the world is of no value unless you are as versatile as a player. There's no point buying a modeller which can do Marshall, Fender, Mesa Boogie, Vox, etc if you intend on playing just a handful of songs that require those sounds. A modelling amp isn't of much use live either, without it's controller footswitch. That being said, the old guitar into amp thing only goes so far, effects are often required. The Vypyr 75 weighs 20kg, you might want to keep that in mind too. 30W pushing a 10" is enough to jam with a drummer, beyond that it's down to personal preference and budget. If you're not sure about what tones you like, why not pick up a cheap Zoom G2.1nu or Digitech RP350 and play around with that instead? It will be useful live too. Play it through a PA/keyboard style amp for when you want it loud. You will have a hard time selling off your old gear at a reasonable rate, in India.
you had said it about the vypyr 30 +why do you wanna crank it up for that buy a tube amp(it wud be better i think)
also after 3 months u wud find problems with your 30k guitar too because desire never ends(if there is money or not)
Deepsal hahaha oh yeah I forgot you have the exclusive rights for vypyr But seriously though I already knew about them before I came here. Again please think what my needs are, have i asked that I only want somethin with loads of tones? I want it to be loud, with loads of features and great tone and should fall in my budget. Will the pod suffise? And btw I already own sennheiser hd595 headphones. Hundrethone I'll reply in detail later but in short the processors sound crap I'll reply more tomorrow gotta sleep now
+1 to thehundredthone...learning how to play a guitar is the most important thing...slash would play a greg bennet av6 better than any of us...
@guitarplayer 729 you want him to buy a 120000...guitar so that it last a year...and stays problem free
processors are crap! Thats news to me even vypyr has a processor in its core so it should suck too and the axe...the axe fx is shit too omg thanks for enlightening me oh great douche
I cannot really help but think you guys do give advice, but lots of it unnecessary. I mean I wanted an amp and you tell me to buy a pod. Then again you quote sentences out of context and fight over it. For example I said the processors sound crap and deepsal takes it out of context and interprets it that all processors are crap whereas ii was reffering to the ones hundrethone recommended
Thehundredthone yeah agreed the vypyr is no axe fx but who wants it? We were comparing the zoom and the digitech with the vypyr and I think the vypyr is better. And to your question about upgrading the amp yeah we can switch the electronics but i'd rather switch the tubes or the speaker first. And I'm sure amps around the 15k mark are decent enough and it will be wiser to invest in a better guitar as there is a major jump in 25k to 30k range in quality, one won't get such a drastic improvement in the 20-22k range in the amps. Also not everyone has the same needs for example if I wanted a practice amp I will not want a loud one and if I am also sure what tone I'm after ill get one with that specific one instead of something with loads of features. I would like to point out further that the distortion and overdrive on the vypyr are analogue hence it sounds better than other modellers.
In case you overlooked it keep weight of the amp into mind its a pain to carry a 75W amp around also i lost track do u mean this guitar?

Audio Equipment check prices in online reviews to confirm if its the same guitar they are talking about People tend to recommend PRS just because of brand power also dont go as per what the shop owners say cause they have a higher margin in PRS guitars as compared to Parker/Ibanez etc but i'm not PRS bashing, they are in fact one of my fav brands and if u had 55k just for a guitar i would be recommending PRS!! however i am very skeptical about the lower end guitars these more expensive brands made but there is a huge positive point here which i am noticing now... instead of releasing it under a lower quality brand name like squire/epiphone/ltd they are sticking to theirs so it *could* be an excellent buy I havent seen this guitar on display anywhere though so let me know also ignore the kids talking about guitar skills versatility of a player and versatility of a guitar are completely different things also i'm pro processors so in short find a PRS 24 and play for yourself to see if you like it... also check out youtube sound tests one very imp point since you stay in Thane have a talk with Auddie Dsouza(CiprianoMusic) also Furtados has gone Wayyyyy down in their service.. they took three weeks to return my guitar without repairs or servicing... therfore first try for Bhargavas cause they'll give you a bigger discount... second Segno...
