As for inexpensive guitars (as opposed to CHEAP guitars) my Behringer has impressed me. I have been playing my Agile exclusively since I got it over a month ago. The other day I wanted to play late at night but didn't want to annoy the neighbors so I used the Behringer and didn't plug it in. I figured I should at least tune it (since it was probably WAY out of tune) and low and behold NOT ONE string was out of tune after 1 month of sitting.

On the same topic of inexpensive guitars..when I was at GC a week ago the sales cleark asked me what I played and I told him Agile and he kind of wrinkled his nose as if he were smelling onions and said he never heard of them. All this without never playing one. He also tried to talk me out of buying guitars over the internet. Personally I think he HAS heard of them and knows he is losing business because of them! When he offered me his card I wrinkled my nose and said no thanks.

The point I am trying to make (the LONG WAY to my point!) is that guitars must be played. When I consider buying a guitar over the internet I go to GC to play one to see if I like it (with the exception of Agile) and even then it may not be the same feel when you get it. But personally, the money that can be saved by buying online is sometimes worth the chance.

I also think the amp is just as important (probably MORE important) than the guitar...when I took my behringer in to Daddy's Junky Music for it's setup a few weeks ago I plugged it into a $800 Fender Amp (I don't remember the model) and to my ears (as well as the clerks) it didn't sound half bad! He even asked if he could give it a go (since he knew how to play better than me!) and it sounded great.
personally the next $300 i can scrape together is going to Rondo for an Agile LP It's nice to hear you are coming over to the darkside Twisted! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)]]> Guitar Players Discussion Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/double-blind-tone-test/#post-128200 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/double-blind-tone-test/#post-128118 Mon, 26 Sep 2005 19:36:29 +0000 the differance is felt by the "player" tho. at least it was for me. the fit and finish of the parts and the feel of the neck were what made all the diff imo.
i'm not trying to scare you out of buying a less expensive axe or into saving for a more expensive one. just know that either way you go, you are going to need to put some hands on time into your choice.

some here have had both great and terrible experiances with purchases shipped to them sight unseen. and i personally have had the opposite in both circumstances.
if you cannot actually go to a shop and rummage thru their stock to find one that you want then there are alternatives with MF and Rondo that have reportedly great return policys

btw the hardware on my OE-30 is fine (some cheaper guitars come with good hardware too)]]> Guitar Players Discussion TwistedLefty https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/double-blind-tone-test/#post-128118 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/double-blind-tone-test/#post-128117 Mon, 26 Sep 2005 19:36:06 +0000

I also decided to get a good amp.

now I cant complain when I suck.
it isnt the guitar.
it isnt the amp.
it isnt the other guy.

Im practising more.

I do think it important to have the good parts and details on a guitar.
so many years of playing hand me down no names maybe.

a properly made and dressed guitar will have me wanting to play it more.
that in itself is a good reason to spend for a good ax.
I dont rely on brand names.]]> Guitar Players Discussion dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/double-blind-tone-test/#post-128117 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/double-blind-tone-test/#post-128115 Mon, 26 Sep 2005 19:29:32 +0000
Some imported guitars are a good deal, do some research before you buy. Check neck construction, pickups, tuners and bridges.

I bought a Japanese Squier and it sounded great tonally and the finish was fantastic but the rest of the hardware was horrible. I've had to replace the bridge, tuners, pickups, switch's, pots. Needless to say if I would have spent $1000.00 on a good guitar I wouldn't have had to put all the money into this one.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Sin City Sid https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/double-blind-tone-test/#post-128115
