hey guys well here is the situation well as you guys know i'm currently working on a new guitar project... at the same time i joined a band (the process came faster than i thought) well anyways after i joined it came to my attention that i am missing quite a bit of gear (here is where the thing gets kinda farfetched) i know it sounds like another GAS attack but it's actually pure logic... i'm missing a decent amp (as i posted a while back) and a decent acoustic guitar for me to play live... on the other hand i already have the humbucker ( i guess i could save it for another year or so) and i think i could use a humbucker guitar considering the noise single coils do while distorted (i could use the me-70 to supress the noise i guess but it wouldn't be the same thing) which should i get?

You need a new pocket comb and some argyle socks.

hahahah loved that but seriously the other guitarrist is using 100w which won't really work out with my 15w combo but at the same time i really wanted to get my project guitar done

If you're playing out live, get a reliable stage-worthy amp first.

in which order do you suggest i get the gear?

Like Arjay said, get a good roadworthy amp. Not a Hot Rod, a Mustang or a VM. Get a rock solid professional amp. A great guitar will still produce asstone through a cheap or mediocre sounding amp.

1. amp
2. electric
3. acoustic

You could flip-flop numbers 2 and 3 if you feel the acoustic would get a lot of use. If it's something that would only be played a little bit, you even could go on eBay and get a used acoustic simulator pedal (like the Boss AC-3). But I agree that a solid, stageworthy amp should be your first priority! Doesn't matter what you're playing if you can't be heard...

i was thinking a laney lx120 amp what do you think?... i don't like the ac-3 pedal idea... i heard acoustic simulators don't cut it

Have you ever played any acoustic simulators?

no not really but i don't really have a way to try one

Get an amp first, after that how about one of these bad boys?


Taylor T5. Electric. Acoustic. Done.
