edit:
;^; OMGOMG IM REALLY THANKFUL TO YOU ALL. i didn't expect this to actually go on to *counts* six pages! you guys are sweeter than...than....than that syrup thingy they put into bubble tea. WITHOUT DILUTING WITH WATER!!!! ahh~~
ok moving on to the edit: after six pages here are things i have learnt already, because i can't expect everybody to read EVERY page:
first, i now know that for around 2K you can get high-end guitars already. which, in the past, i assumed 300$ guitars were those that you buy today and...spoil themselves tomorrow. but now i know that's not true! while my budget remains at 4.5k i must also admit that i doubt i'll blow it all. and i've also come to realise that items like pedals could always come later - there is also a general opinion that the amp and the guitar itself are about equally important.
also i used to carry the notion that i want to just go straight and buy 1 guitar which i will stick to for the rest of my life, but now i find it so clear that shouldn't be the way..there will be a lot of trial and error along the journey.
yah, that's the whole TLDR thing for the thread.
thank you sooo much soft folks you guys made my...day? week? month? okay, you guys are awesome.
and yah sometimes it seems i don't reply and stuffs but it's because i'm busy on weekdays (SCHOOL!!! D
and i don't have much time except maybe i'll come by and skim through thread replies. then when i am free i'll come and really take a deep look at everything. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!! AHH!!!! *pops sparkling juice* no wines cos im underage :O
(end edit)
hello i hope i'm not in the wrong forum -.- sorry for crashing this professional place but i'm really...kinda despo haha >_>;
budget's under 4.5k. that includes everything - strap, amp, pedals(dont really know what it does though), and...idk, whatever else i am supposed to include, and of course the guitar itself.
if it helps, i listen to luna sea, dir en grey, x japan, emilie autumn, the dresden dolls, my chemical romance, l`arc~en-ciel, head phones president, the gazette, miyavi...and i already have a classical guitar (TGM...not a famous brand i guess, got it from ranking @ bbcomplex)
i read up a little about electric guitars, amps, gears etc online, but really i don't catch any ball-.-
and i am not thinking of getting a guitar just for fun-fun, i'm very serious about entering the world of music...
so far i know, i would have to get a guitar itself, and an amplifier, there is this thing called a pedal, and this thing called a tuning machine, and noobs like me shouldn't try to worry too hard about technical insybitsy details yet (since i dont even know what they are)...and it is okay to pick a guitar going by instinct. ._. is this true? D:
i've already mapped out a plan, i will like slowly visit every guitar shop i know in sg and pick the guitars very very slowly and carefully one by one, and then take note of the ones i like first, and after i've ran out of shops to "disturb" (disturb cos...imagine some xiao zha bor come in your shop try so many guitar and leave w/o buying XD) and then after that i will finally buy my first electric guitar!!
but i'm kind of...scared >.< i don't want to end up buying a guitar that doesnt suit me and regret it..this 4.5k is my entire life's worth of angpaos, edusave award moneys and other misc. savings of 16 years... ;^; ok actually its 5k but my mum will flip if she finds out i blew it all...she guards my bank book real tight. hush guys, she doesn't know anything yet! :X it's supposed to be a surprise. ^^ she hates rock music
so i thought i should ask for opinions from..people who know what they are doing first..haha. (i don't know many "music" people sob, has to turn to strangers on the internet! beware of Stranger Danger. XD) also note i'm only going to buy it mid-november so i have a lot of time and patience (at least, about the patience of 3 months!) to listen to advice from pros and all. >.<
thanks for reading this! i'm ever long-winded thus i write really long blocks of text. hope it wasn't too much of a chore for you. all replies will be greatly appreciated!
