New guitar
-
Good luck with the audition. I played bass for years and years both full and semi-professionally. I had a bit of break once and decided to get my main guitar restrung and harmonics set and that made a HUGE difference. The thing felt much better and sounded great. I was an idiot to have waited that long but I just never had time. My point is be sure to get some regular attention for your guitars. You will be glad you did. Incidentally, that guitar was my first major purchase when I get out of school in 1983 and I still have it. It's a coffee table-style bass and weighs half a ton so for that reason I play lighter ones these days. FWIW, it's an Alembic.

Sounds cool as hell. TBH coding jobs and band auditions work the same for me. I am rarely rejected. And this is AC/DC FFS. I'll get the gig

Going for lead guitar in an AC/DC cover band so I went and bought an American SG. The neck needs attention, some strings are muted when you bend them, but it's pretty nice. I have two USA guitars, a Tele and now this I'll pay to get it set up properly, I'll take it in tomorrow. Same place has fixed two other guitars for me, I bought an Epiphone Les Paul and the bridge pickup didn't work, and I have an Ice man and the wiring just fell apart all of a sudden
Good for you, Christian! A couple of years ago I inherited my Dad's electric Ovation and Guild, both from the late '70s or so. Beautiful pieces and sounding so good! They make a nice addition to my Guild 'Dreadnaught" 12-string!
Will Rogers never met me.

Nice. Someone stole my only acoustic and I've not bought another

I'm not sure whether to call Dad's Guild an acoustic, or electric. It's got built-in pickups, but it's got a hollow body about 2" deep, and it sounds great on the small Fender amp I have left. When it dies, I have no idea where to find the tubes for it.

Guild might be semi acoustic, like a gibson 335

I know I could but I have money and I'm lazy :)
This is my approach to car repair - I'm willing to pay someone else to do it correctly.

My amp is a boogie. They are basically a hotrodded fender amp I agree, I have too much money to risk doing it myself Yeah, I have a wah and a tuner, I don't use pedals. I have a three channel boogie that slays all on it's own. In my last band the other guy had a little fender amp and some high tech digital all in one effect thing and I was like, what are you doing?
I had a boogie. I had to keep the volume at 1 to stop from blowing the rest of the band away. I really liked it, but as I left the bands because of all of the "Drama", I sold it. I still play at home, though on a little practice amp.

Oh I play it low. But if we ever gig, I have all the power I need

Just FYI, it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll... even longer with a broken guitar... :cool:
LOL!! Sage advice
