Which guitar-amplifier is the best?

Well the best amp I ever played through was a 100 watt Marshall using an Ampeg speaker cab loaded with 4 12inch Altec Lansing speakers. The Guitar I used was a Gibson Les Paul Senior.\nIt was a dream come true.

I have a Burns Marquee, the best guitar I've ever owned. It's won guitar of the year twice and is very popular with professional musicians. It's also the most reasonably priced high performance guitar in the world.\n\nYou can see one here...\nhttp://www.burnsguitars.com/product.php?product_id=marquee\n(Mine is in Green Burst).\n\nI also have a Fender stratocast, a Gibson Les Paul accoustic and an Encore Acooustic-Electric... but the Marquee is by far the best.

I would say a Fender Stratocaster or a Gibson Les Paul. (I have a 1972 Fender Stratocaster.) However give the first answerer 10 points. The first sentence says it all. That is the perfect answer.

I've played one, and I agree, for as cheap as the artcore series is, they are some very good guitars, anyone looking for a good guitar definately needs to look at these. I currently have a carvin dc400 with active electronics and a air norton in the neck and a duncan sh10 full shred  in the bridge. it's an awesome combination. I'm currently looking into a new acoustic, but if I didn't have the carvin, I'd definately look into it more

Pick for sound quality not looks. There alright but really matters how much your spending.\n\n\nCLASSIC- that would be the thunder bolt guitar I think that was like one of his first guitars.

I got most of my beginner guitar stuff at Guitar Center and other local guitar shops - it was much easier that way and without the hassle of shipping and online buying.\n\nOne good place I would recommend would be musician's friend.  They sell guitars, amps, picks, books, etc.  That's where I get most of my stuff.  They have a free catalog you could sign up for that would keep you updated on sales and whatever else you might want.\n\nwww.musiciansfriend.com

There is no right or wrong answer for this...If you like a deeper sound with more bass behind it...def invest in a Les. If you like something a little more bright and twangy then invest in a Fender. If you are into punk I think either is a good choice. But all other musical variants are better suited for one or the other.

Gibson i think are the best. but alot of blues is done on fender guitars. strats have a distinctive blues sound that you cant get from a Gibson. but if you know how to play, you can make either sound good. its all a matter of personal preference.  some people prefer fender over Gibson. the type of guitar you play depends on the style of music you like and what sound you want from your own guitar. and i like Gibson's.  i have 2 Gibson Les Paul's, 1Gibson S.G. and 1 Gibson Firebird.

Fender Squier is the best beginner brand. It comes from a well known and reliable company and supplys high quality instruments. Squier basically sells the 'standard' Fender instruments for a lower price (and of course the materials wouldn't be of that higher standard). A standard Fender Squier Stratocaster would cost around $129.99USD (http://www.guitarcenter.com/shop/guitar/navigation?q=squier&x=0&y=0). You could also get a Gibson Les Paul Jr. which is I think basically a Gibson Les Paul except it's smaller, for $99.99

Absolutely!!  But don't focus on the brand name of the guitar - focus on the sound you want to achieve from your guitar.  What kind of pick-ups and position of the pick-ups best suit your style of music.  Your objective is to use as minimal effects as possible to generate the sound you are looking for.  I say research the pick-ups then go to a music store, sit down and have a good time with the variations of pick-ups, then decide.

A dynamic mic like a Shure SM57 or SM58 isn't the best sort of mic for recording acoustic guitar.  You would get better results with a condenser mic - there are some pretty good ones available in the £100-150 price range.  These mics are more sensitive than dynamic mics and are better suited to picking up the subtle nuances of an acoustic guitar.\n\nHowever, beware, some condensers need to have external "phantom" powering which your PC interface may not provide.  Some can be battery powered which would get around that problem.\n\nWhen miking a guitar don't point the mic at the soundhole - this will tend to be very boomy.  Either try pointing the mic at the point where the neck meets the body but angled a bit towards the bridge or try pointing it at the soundboard between the bridge and the end of the guitar rom between 6 and 18 inches away.  Both tend to give pretty good representations of the sound of an acoustic.\n\nYour might want to try out these miking positions with your Shure mike to see if they improve the sound before splashing out on a new mic.\n\nHere's a few articles on recording acoustic guitar.  A Google search should throw up a load more...\n\nhttp://www.soundonsound.com/sos/Aug01/articles/recacgtr0801.asp\nhttp://www.humbuckermusic.com/acguitrectec.html\nhttp://www.pcmus.com/RECacou.htm

I use Martin MSP4050 SP's on my acoustics, DR Strings PHR10's on my SRV strat, and either Elixir Polyweb Electric Super Light's or Black Diamond Nickel Light's on my '73 Tele. The Black Diamonds have a nice bright sound and I can get 2 sets for the price of one set of the Elixirs. The Elixir tend to last longer, though. The DR's have the best "bluesy" sound - nice sustain and "punch" with great low tones.

peavey is good bang for the buck. don't get cheap fenders (like a squier) or  ibanez - they'll fall apart. the fenders made in mexico ain't bad for a beginner...
