What kind of guitar do you have,

acoustic, electric, classic, or hyrbrid.

what brand?

what kind of music do you like to play?

Right now, I have a Classical Guitar that's Jasmine by Takamine.

I don't like classical guitars. I'm thinking of buying an acoustic guitar, with steel strings.

I want the Seagull S6. Whoot. And, who can recommend a good beginner acoustic guitar?

I have a Seagull S6 original.

Hate to dredge up an old topic, but guitars are cool and I didn't feel like making a new one.

The only guitar I currently own is a fiesta red Fender Jag-Stang. It's a 6-string electric (obviously). It was made by Fender Japan sometime between 2002-2004, so you know it's good. I picked it up used for next to nothing -- about $380, less than the price of a new Fender Strat, and this thing is so much nicer than a Fender Strat. It sounds great and it hardly has a scratch on it. When I got it, the plastic film covering was still on the pickguard!

I love my Jag-Stang for a couple of reasons. Number one, of course, is the sound. It has a pretty versatile tonal spectrum, but I got it because it has a really twangy sound if you set the pickup modes correctly (each pickup has an independent On/Off/On switch, with the two "On's" having opposing polarities). I really like the twangy Southern rock-meets-surf guitar-crossed-with-Beatles kind of sound. Plus with distortion it sounds like Cobain's guitar on "Drain You", which I love.

It also has a smaller, thinner neck, like the old Jaguars, which is great because I have small hands. And it has vintage-style tuners and the large 60s-style headstock, which is way cool. It's a real throwback to he 60s. It has a nice Dynamic Vibrato bridge, too, although it didn't come with a tremolo arm, and I'm thinking of blocking the vibrato anyway.

It looks cool, too. It has an asymmetric, almost feminine shape to it, which I really like. It's a very unique body design, which makes it stand out.

Like I said, it sounds cool, but I don't really like the bridge humbucker, and I'm thinking of replacing it if I keep playing it a lot.

I actually almost sold it recently, but the buyers fell through, and I'm glad they did, because I've started playing it again and I really like it. Unfortunately, I no longer have an amp, because I sold that a while ago when I graduated from college. I also sold my bass and my first guitar (which was just a crappy Lyon anyway), so the Jag-Stang is the one remaining piece. Looks like I might have to work on building up the collection again.
