MY FINAL GUITAR PICK - ITS REALLY GREAT !

This is the same model I just ordered , this one should prove to be a good starter guitar for learning on and should sound great in my songs when I get that far with it in a year or so maybe two years .

It looks pretty and so does the case. Doesn't sound like a Les Paul but that's okay because it's not one. It's much nicer than my first two electrics. Have fun with it!

          Thanks , I hope it will end up good as a first starter guitar . The price was right
          for this type of guitar , can't afford those higher end Les paul's your talking about .
          If after a few years I improve playing it then hopefully I'll be able to buy a different
          one like a good Fender Strat , see what happens in the next two years .

ive got 2 les pauls,one is an epi like yours and i love it,there is a bit difference in the action and over all feel,but not much,the thing i like about the epi is the tone and volume knobs are pop up/ and phase switches like jimmy page has.its such a boost.

really nice choice,like the color on this one you got.
mine is white with gold hardware.
my studio(the real les paul) is sunburst.

im also fasinated by strats.love them.
 
Thanks Chuck now I might kick myself in the ASS for making the switch back to the first electric guitar I picked out the other day . I just called and cancelled that guitar order and went with this Traveler Guitar for $549.00 .

This guitar is very small in size but it has a full size fret board and the neck is set up differently as you can see .
But heres the cool thing about this guitar it sounds great as a lead playing guitar and has great electric struming sounds to it sort like this guitar you told me you had that I just cancelled .
 
The other thing is this Traveler EG-1 Guitar has this built in AMP to practice with is your traveling and you can plug in any MP3 player and jam along with your music for practice so that was another reason I went with this guitar .
Another reason is its made really rock solid , maple neck and adjustable trust rod but other great features .
 
I hope I made the right choice switching guitars , if I didn't then I will have to chain my wife to the wall and scream at her ! LOL
Yea with this guitar the guitar tuners are built into the body , the neck looks like its been chopped off but thats the way its made .
Alot of people who are pro players say they really like this guitar , it got great reviews from many different sites I searched out last week  .
 
Anyway I hope I made a wise discision , I think the Traveler will work out great to learn on .
I can always buy another one in a year , maybe a good $1,000.00 guitar on sale but first I have to be able to play the guitar .
Practice till my fingers drop off thats going to be me for the first year , wife will beat me silly if I don't learn to play and then buy another expensive guitar ! LOL
 
By the way I like your music , are you using Sonar Home Studio XL ? I have that DAW too but use Project 5 mostly .
 
Cheers - James
 

Now you're going to be limited with tone by having only one pickup.

Now you're going to be limited with tone by having only one pickup. 
 
I stayed up last night thinking about this Traveler guitar , I started thinking about that one pickup and the Bolt on neck wondering just how good is that compaired to a glued on jointed neck .
If something happens with the neck on the glued on type your screwed when
trying to have it fixed and could be costly .
I spent all of last night hunting for a different guitar and found a few neck-thru-necks and they say they are the best to buy if you want good TONE and Sustain .
 
I sort going crazy over searching for the best less expensive good starting guitar that is built to last , has great playabity , great neck & fret action with no fret buzz .
Thats the guitar I'm looking for , now Fender makes this $379.00 Telicaster guitar thats made in China but is suppose to be really great . It got really great reviews and sounds great too but that one is a glued on neck .
 
I'm still looking , my wife thinks I'm crazy for not wanting this Traveler guitar because of all the built-in features but like you said it has only one pickup on it . Its getting plenty of great reviews and I think its 1005 American made too .
We searched everywhere to find out where that guitar was made and all we can come up with is California .

Hey Chuck & Scotty stayed up till 4:00am looking at guitars again and this is the guitar I decided to buy .
I have to dig deep I mean DEEPER into my pocket to buy this guitar , the VOX AMP I picked out and the HARD CASE I ordered but this package deal is well worth digger deeper into my Bank Account .

Here it is a cool guitar !

This is it on SweetWater but I'm not buying it from them now ,I'm buying it from my local music store down the street a big music store had this one in stock to look at and play thru the AMP I'm also buying a small 20Watt VOX AMP.
This AMP has a total of 99 preamps to choose from , a cool little practioce AMP !
Heres the AMP I'm buying its a great little practice TUBE AMP for what I'm buying it for on sale too .
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/VT20Plus/

This guitar I love because of the pickups in it , its plays as a electric and can play and sound just like a real acoustic guitar .
Solid MAPLE body for great tones and sustain , for $799.00 its a SWEET deal . Retail price was $1,300.00 , this guitar should give me years of good playing use and great to learn on too .
The other cool thing about this guitar it has a built in MIDI jack , yea you plug it in right into your computer and record with it and they include this free recording software with it too . I don't need the recording software but its free anyway .

Sad thing is I have to call SweetWater and cancell my guitar order , this music store is giving me a package deal that includes a hard case for this guitar for just under a $1,000.00 where with Sweetwater I would be paying a $100.00 more to get the same deal .
Plus when I go to buy it at the store this Friday I can take it home and use it untill my ordered one comes in .
They are going to order me another one just like this one in the same Natural color and when it comes in I'll return the floor demo guitar .
I told him I didn't want the floor model I want a brand new one out of the box never handled in the store , a fresh new guitar .

This guitar really sounds great after watching this video .

Heres the acoustic sound on this guitar , its almost like I'm buying two guitars electric & acoustic VERY COOL !

Sorry Robby , guess all the excitment is the reason plus I thought maybe I would get some feedback on this final new guitar I'm buying this coming Friday .
Believe me when I say man this has been one ride searching for an electric guitar thats not cheap and very playable and enjoyable to learn on .
Like I said knowing theres so many great guitar players here some feedback is a big help after all I'm a complete beginner shopping for a decent guitar to learn on and hopefully in a few years to record with .

Now that I have the guitar picked out I plan on taking some guitar lessons starting next month till the end of this year . I checked in the music store where I'm buying this guitar its $100.00 per month WOW music lessons have really gone up skyhigh !
Anyway with some guitar lessons I'll be able to startout on the right foot when learning how to play chords and scales and everything else that has to do with setting up the guitar & AMP to get those crazy cool rock and country sounds I want to play .

Oh yes I have started working on another new song by the way , I started it and then put the brakes on that new song project  to search for this guitar .
Now that my shopping is finished I can get back to working and creating that new song I started four days ago .

 Sorry for the BUMP - James

Have you any music to play us?
Can you play anything?
Can you sing?
Have you any lyrics to show us?
Do you use cakewalk products to make music?

         Years and stop back in 1998 untill just three weeks ago when I started playing
         again .
         I played for almost 18 years , played in bands and did some studio playing
         took drums lessons for three years off and on as I could afford them way back
         when I started .
 
         As a kid back in the fourth grade I took Piano lessons for a year and then gave
         that up because I was more intereasted in drums . Six years ago I started messing
         around with a keyboard again and started buying CAKEWALK products . Spend alot
         of money on CAKEWALK products . I started out with MUSIC CREATOR 3 then 4

Not a problem Chuck , yea your right maybe I did post this in the wrong area of the forum .
Thanks my new toys WHATEVER I call them instruments but some call them toys .
Anyway I think WILDMAN started off on the wrong foot with his comments acting like I just suddenly popped up on this forum for the very first time !

But yea I see your point and yes I'm working on another new song project right now .
In this next song project I'm going to TRY with no Promises but try to fit in a very small guitar section using my new guitar once it arrives and after I have had time to practice three or four basic chords .

Anyway I guess I'll let this post die off and you will hear from me soon with something new .

         Hey thanks , it will be a blessing to have a real guitar when adding guitar to my
         music instead of having to use my heyboard and this $100.00 guitar synth software
         I purchased online that is worthless and sounds crappy using my keyboard .
 
      

Which $100 (worthless) guitar synth software?

(But (IMO), getting a real guitar will definitely be a better way than settling for the alternatives)

I think Epiphone make great guitars. I'm one of the lucky few to have picked up one of their "Spotlight" PRS copies in 89 or so, they only made a few before the threat of lawsuit from PRS made them stop production. It really is a sweet guitar and I've always toyed with the idea of buying another Epi based on the build quality of that one. In fact I'm in need of a humbucker guitar so may pick up an Epi Les Paul later this year.
