My Axe wishlist…

Well as you all know I am trying to learn how to play the guitar again…hopefully I will actually learn it this time ;) Anyway, much to the displeasure of my girlfriend I have been looking at new axes!!! Not that I am actually going to buy one (her fear)…but it is nice to figure out what you want so that maybe one day you can buy your dream (like when I ever learn to play it)?

Even though my current axes aren’t anything at all to write home about that doesn’t mean I am not pretty particular in the guitar I would want ^_^ They have to have the right blend of solid sound and good looks. So I figured I would look at the axes from a few different places, the axes I have been looking at are (from price low to high):

Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR Electric Guitar
Cheapest price found: $799.99
List Price: $1,149.00

Schecter is an up and coming force in the guitar world. As the most price effective guitar maker in the batch I am looking at, they don’t compromise quality or sound just because they are the low ball in the price market. I have read several hundred reviews from different independent sellers who all rank the guitar a steal for the price. As well a personal friend of mine (who can tear up a guitar) who works in a guitar store suggested that brand to me over some of the more expensive axes he sales.

Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar
Cheapest price found: $1,199.99
List Price: $1,714.27

Fender is a staple in the industry and the Strat produces legendary sounds, this particular model caught my eye and all of the reviews for it are equally as impressive. Granted you take most reviews with a grain of salt but still this one has a lot of positive feedback. Slightly higher priced then the Schecter and it begs the question of if I would be paying for the name, but it would still be highly considered.

Gibson Les Paul Standard Double Cut Plus Electric Guitar
Cheapest price found: $1,549.00
List Price: $2,388.00

The most expensive of the group but then again the Gibson line of guitars are arguable the best rock guitars on the planet. I never care for the SG model (even if Angus Young plays one) and of the Les Paul’s this one was my favorite both in sound (you can here the guitar played on Gibson website) and in looks. It doesn’t have the range of features the other Les Paul’s might but it is a tight package none the less.

So there you have it, My Axe wishlist, lol.
