What is a great guitar for blues/classic rock?

4th May

I am an intermediate guitarist starting learn how to play blues style music. My current guitar is basically a hard rock/metal guitar and although blues does sound ok on it i would prefer a guitar that really stands out when blues is played. I have been looking at Epiphone SG’s and Fender Strats and Teles but I don’t know whats best. However any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks

Fender Strats and Les Pauls are both great for rock and blues. SG’s are also a good choice. It’s about what feels good in your hands. That’s a personal preference. Playing the blues isn’t about what instrument you play. When you get into it more you’ll see it’s about the feeling you convey with your music. If you’ve got the heart and the right chops, it wouldn’t matter if you played a ukelele. People will still be moved by it. Play from the heart, practice hard and the rest will come.

Which guitar for Blues music?

2nd May

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-Sheraton-II-Electric-Guitar?sku=518240

or:

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-Dot-Electric-Guitar?sku=518250

Iam a little tight on cash so those are the options.

-thanks
like Stevie ray, B.B. king etc.

Forget the Epiphone!!!

Use a Strat!!!

Eric does
Stevie did
Buddy does
Jimi did

Robert Cray does
Rory Gallagher did

Bonnie Rait has a Fender Strat Model named after her!

Jeff Beck considers it the best guitar.
(and for my money Jeff is the best that’s ever been)

There is no need to buy new…
especially for an Epiphone
(I don’t care if it does say Gibson, the closest an Epiphone ever came to Gibson is when it was put in the truck that had Gibson written on the side)

I picked up a Fiesta Red, American Standard, Sperzels, Maple, MOTS, with case, in mint, on EBay for $500.

Here’s a hint – sometimes the finish will dictate the price of the bidding on EBay. The burst finishes and Olympic White typically will pull higher prices (and it has nothing to do with sound or playability), – The Surf Green, the Turquoise, the Blue, and the Fiesta can show up as steals.

An EBay Strat may just be the best bang per buck in the guitar world.

Don’t just settle – get the real thing!!!!
