Favorite Guitars

As a guitar player, I’m kinda choosy when it comes to the guitars that I would be using when I perform, when I am recording or for my all – rounder. If I had all the money in the world, I would really have a good list of elite guitars lined up. Too bad, I’m just a regular guy with a regular salary. However, that doesn’t stop me from being choosy. I still have my own list of guitars. They are not the expensive ones that I would choose over anything else if I could afford it but these are the cheaper equivalents.

Favorite Guitars – Cheaper Equivalents

Here’s an example of those great guitars that are expensive and their cheap equivalents. 1. Fender Stratocaster and Squier Stratocaster – Fender and Squier are sister companies. The price of a fender strat and a Squier strat has a huge gap especially if you add the Squier starter kit to that fact. You get a decent sounding Squier strat, a mini Squier amp, a gig bag, a tuner, a cable and some rock and roll, Nuff said!

2. Gibson ES 335 and Heritage 535 – Heritage was created when Gibson left a City in the United States. So basically, they have good stuff. A heritage is not that cheap but it is comparably cheaper than a Gibson which causes around 2K plus dollars.

Favorite Guitars – Conclusion

See, you could get the same tonal quality with less the price. If not the same, well, something close to that. Besides, the skill of the guitar player also is a factor in the overall output of the guitar’s tone. So don’t worry if you are using a Squier Stratocaster or whatever cheaper equivalent you have there. You are excused as long as you have the talent and you have the skills. These are the alternatives for your favorite guitars.

Nowadays, especially in America, all you see and hear on the TV and the radio is loads of crap. I couldn’t call that music. I mean, all that crap that teaches our kids to get down and dirty aren’t worthy of being called music, that’s a fact. Music industry is focusing on selling it to teenage girls, and for real musicians, they don’t get good music at all. They have to dig it up just to find some good tunes. Look at Justin Bieber, man! The boy can’t even sing properly and couldn’t write his own songs and he gets total exposure just because he’s marketable and teenage girls would love it. What’s wrong with you guys? There are millions of talented musicians out there, millions of times more talented than Bieber boy (if you can call that talent) who would die for this kind of exposure, but no, they will not get it. Why? Because they aren’t marketable and cute.
There are lots of guitar – driven rock bands out there who doesn’t care about fashion at all; all they care about is the music and its quality. For us musicians, that is a good thing, but for those major industry music marketing blokes, that’s worthless. This definitely proves how corrupt and dirty the industry is. I just hope one day, people would get tired of listening to lady gaga and start listening to John Mayer instead. Look at Splender or Alien Ant Farm. They both got talent, skillful members, especially guitar players, but where are they now? They became victims of Major Label Corruption. But even though they are not in the front rows anymore, you could still hear that people regard their songs as one of the best songs ever. That’s pure talent. Two years from now you won’t hear Bieber Boy’s “one time”. That’s garbage.
