Stratocaster is the UGLIEST guitar I have ever seen, sure it plays like a dream but its ugly, theres nothing special to the style like a BC Rich Beast or something. My friend has one, its white and its heavy as hell, its extremely hard to monouver in..... All in All coming from someones who's been playing for almost 5 years, that guitar is shit :) , well its good for  a started. A Good way to waste ur money (y)....not

Stratocaster is a nice guitar, its a guitar thats widely recognised all over the world, and is a great guitar to start electric and lead on, its not ugly at all to be honest, pretty much every novice at guitar starts on a fender squier, and works they way up to stratocaster. Either way, the bc rich beast isn't that nice at all, and plays dodgy, its made for heavy metal...

Nice way to make a guy feel happy Vantage, its like me telling you that everything you had was crap, don't be so harsh.. It doesn't matter how long you've been playing, its the experience of knowing a decent guitar, and having a wide view, not liking only guitars that are associated with metal, as for me, I like most guitars apart from the ones that look like violins and the gibson thats played by chuck berry. He didn't waste his money, to be honest, you're just being a prick.

Hey man im just giving my opinion and my though on he did, i wasn't harsh at all :) Not my fault you have a diffrent opinion then mine? you have diffrent thoughs on what I should have said????Why don't you just concetrate on yourself for once and try to not worry on how much your opinion is diffrent then mine, and if your not able to do that, then go stuff yourself.



And if those rock stars didn't care what kind they played, they why would they bother to even buy those big ass fancy ones? cuz its better then those little middle class ones that they were playing :S common man its common sense, when you play guitar, you mostly look up to a better guitar like me A BC rich Beast, thats one of my fav's. But im pretty sure after a while with the BC rich Beast I'll be looking at a fender Stagemaster, who knows.
RE: I bought my first guitar by tomfletcherman on 12-05-2004 at 10:48 AM

Fender squiers are an excellent choice for a first guitar, I know many people who own them, they look good albeit a rather ordinary shape. I personally don't get on with them or Gibson SG's either but its all down to personal preference. It is ebtter to have a squier first than a real strat because they cost upwards of £600. BC rich have a nice guitar out, the ice mockingbird, but generally I don't like their other guitars as they just seem to have a picture slapped on them before the laquer is applied. I have an Ibanez and they are my favourite type of guitar although too many of them are purple...

Actually, to be honest, you were quite harsh about this guitar, that was an opinion overload in my opinion.. Yes we have different thoughts, but I don't express certain thoughts because of the moralities of them.. I don't only concentrate on myself because I care for the feelings of other users on this forum, like you should, don't be self centred.

As you say an experienced guitarist has big ass expensive guitars, in my opinion, isn't the fender squier the cheaper version for the Fender Stratocaster?? That guitar is worth about £3000 where I come from.... To be fair thats like $6000USD, is that not a sweet guitar???? And its exactly the same, one of the most common guitars in the world is the fender squier to be honest, as i said before:

RE: I bought my first guitar by Pr0xY on 12-06-2004 at 01:00 PM

Hey Ash_, since you said you just started playing, I take it you dont compose your own music yet?  I'm kind of interested if you do, post back please. :)

RE: I bought my first guitar by Plik on 12-06-2004 at 05:12 PM

Vantage, most people play a certain guitar because of the way it sounds not the way it looks.
Different guitars are good for different reasons. For example imagion clapton playing a BC Rich, the sound wouldnt suit the music. But them imagion Kirk Hammet playing a Gibson like the ones check berry played.
Also IMO the BC Rich has a very extreme looks, you either love them or hate them. Most people hate them.
