Depends on what style of music you wanna play? Blues/rock/country/jazz= Fender Strat. Metal/rock/heavy blues= Les Paul. Or if you like Pointy guitars with lots of Bells and Whistles go with an Ibanez or Schecter. I like Pointy guitars myself :-) Just remember just because it is expensive doesn't make it better. I own some very expensive guitars but my all time favorite is still my $200.00 Ibanez I bought in 1984.

Let me know if you need any help deciding.

What he said! :-)
I'm... ummm... "thrifty" when it comes to my bass guitar selection.
Okay, I'm a cheap-ass bastard when it comes to bidding a fond farewell to my money, so I make it count like an abacus in the hands of a 9-year old math wiz in China. ;-)
Set a limit as to what you'll pay for something is always a good idea.
And then try to spend $100 less than that.
Check your local craigslist for "hot" deals, too (literally & figuratively: best to get the numbers from it and run it through the police to make sure it's not been reported stolen, if such things bother you).
But mostly, get the guitar in your hands and strum & pluck the strings and feel the neck in your hands to make sure it feels "right" to you.
You'll know it when it's strapped on, and don't be afraid to make them let you try a bunch of guitars if you buy at guitar center.
Even if it's among the same brand & model of guitar: there are slight differences in every guitar, just like snowflakes. ;-)
I'm sure jigfresh & duchieman & bilcollector & others would have some stuff to add, too, as I'm more of a musical dilettente than anything, so far.

Ok, announcement. I just harvested Dirty Heri 2 and had an encounter with her scissor hash and I'm having a hard time hanging on and staying focused. It's making reading and typing really hard so more pictures would be very helpful.

THanks.

I know right.

We had roof replaced 5 yrs ago. They fucked up all the roof jacks and the heater didnt work and had to replace exhaust, guess they fucked up the water heater one too. I wonder if this is why my daughter has a brain tumor??? Her room is on same wall as water heater and we have dry-rot........

According to the good folks at the EPA, you should be okay.

The main ingredient is indole-3-butyric acid (IBA):

*from the EPA R.E.D. on it (Reregistration Elegibilty Document)
http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/REDs/factsheets/2330fact.pdf


Toxicity
All generic toxicology data requirements have been waived for IBA.
The registered uses result in very low exposure to workers and negligible residues on crops. Products are formulated with very low percentages of IBA (0.0004 to 4.5%) and are applied at ultra-low rates (7 mg IBA/acre).
Formulated products generally are of low toxicity. Additionally, IBA is metabolized to 3-indole acetic acid which is a common metabolite in tryptophan (an amino acid) metabolism in humans.

Occupational Exposure
People may be exposed to IBA during mixing, loading and application activities. However, IBA is of low toxicity and is applied at extremely low rates, so exposure data have not been required.
EPA has no significant exposure concerns other than protecting the eyes of mixers, loaders and applicators.
Thus, IBA products in ToxicityCategory II for primary eye irritation must bear appropriate label precautions, including a requirement that applicators wear protective eyewear (goggles, face shield, or safety glasses).

Human Risk Assessment
The Agency believes the potential risks to humans from occupational and dietary exposure to IBA are negligible.

And wear a HUGE Texas-sized metal belt buckle with all kinds of edges & burrs, and make sure to keep your shirt tucked in.
And clip a wad of keys to a front belt loop, too.
:-)

When you're done, hand them a bill for distressing their guitars for them, and thusly driving up the cost!
I never understood the whole "relicing" aspect of new guitars made to look old, but to each their own.

Ok, so I smashed the glass on the dozen Honey Garlic Rescue Wings in the fridge, which gave me the ability to concoct a pot of stabilizing Java sooo, I was able to post these.

This one is going into a "NO SHARE" jar. Unless of course one of you happened to land on my doorstep.

I don't know Doobie. My wife keeps telling me we're winning the 50 million tonight so I may be calling you in the morning. In the meantime, I'm going to take Calibands last photos and she's coming down tonight too. Wow, 2 plants on the same day. That's new.

I dont get it?
PG&E came out and says that exhaust gases are still spilling out at the water heater side entrance to the exhaust and it blew out his match. I have tested it and it pulls the flame into the vent not blows it out. The roof jack has noxious gas pouring out like it should. This is observed by heat smell and it blows out the lighter. They seem to have purposefully red-tagged us for no reason. My wife doesnt believe me that it works right, because she thinks I dont know how to fix it and want to shut her up. This has me pissed....
