i decided i need a change...im selling all my pedals to a few friends of mine and im gonna start of new...of course im keeping my Fender Fat Strat
in a few months ill have money to pay my cousin for the Teal SG he has been keeping for me since he works at a guitar place and he got me a sweet deal a few months ago, he told me once i get the money i should give it to him and then he will gimmie the sg...:D
anyway...im keeping 2 pedals of mine...crybaby 535q and boss ds-2

im working and in august im getting paid 1000$ for the month to do work on my dads house...plus another few hundred for working this month and july...plus a few hundred i have in my account

by the end of the summer my set up should be: * = what i will be getting
Fender Fat Strat
Gibson SG Teal Special
Squier Tele (changed neck pickup to humbucker)
Schecter PT*
Traynor 40 watt 2x10 amp*
Ibanez TS9*
Boss DD-3*
MXR Phase 90*

i decided if i dont like the way the DS-2 sounds on my traynor im going to sell it and find another distortion pedal, because it sounds soso on my mini marshall amp...and i always want to have 2 OD/Dist pedals for different tones

i hope i can do it all financially...maybe by my next birthday (next june) ill be getting a epiphone or gibson les paul, depends how much money i got if im still going ot be working during school

i hope it all works out :)

    sounds like you have it all figured out. you will love the teal sg, i got mine in september and i LOVE it. not only does it rock hard, it just looks so damn cool when the stage lights hit it.

    sometimes it is the brightest blue and others it is a nice dark green. mine is blue most of the time but changes when the light hits it.

    You should trade in that Squier Tele for a Fender Tele. I truly do not like Squier. I got Squier Precision Bass and it sounds soo bad.

    With a little work, there's nothing wrong with a Squire. If you gut the wiring and replace the pickups, they're usually not that bad. I have a Squire Strat that I dropped some new pickups in [a Lace Sensor Gold (neck), DeMarzio Virtual Vintage (mid), and Seymoour Duncan Hot Rails (bridge)] and it sound great now. Bang for the buck, Squires aren't a bad deal.

    HailHailVitalogy: Good choice on the Traynor.....you'll dig it.
    Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference. I'm not trying to make a difference. I'll stop trying to make a difference. No way!

    I'm with LemonYellowSun on this one. It's very possible to get a really nice Squier. The chances of getting a good guitar are better when you look at the standard and American Fenders, but if you take your time and play a few, you might find a Squier that kicks the pants off a $1500 American Fender. Do a pickup swap, and maybe replace some of the hardware (tuners and bridge saddles especially) and you're in business for a lot less than the big boys.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    I might do that to my Precision then but first im going to need a new neck.

    Hey, you never know, you might actually have a lemon. Basses especially are hard to do cheap. What's wrong with yours? You mention needing a new neck, why? What sounds bad about it?

    The pickups are cheap and me and my friends were drunk and I smashed it.

    Well, you'd spend more on a new neck than it's worth. Especially if you were unhappy with it in the first place, I'd start from scratch.

    Maybe an OLP bass would be a good option for an econo bass for you...

    I'd lose one of those guitars and get a better amp if I were you...but otherwise, it looks like you're going to be busy learning a lot of new gear :)

    Very cool

    I'd keep the amp, it's very good.

    But,

    I would buy one of the guitars, play it a lot for awhile, and then get the other one. That way you won't spend too much time fiddling with sound, and more time rawking out.

    you guys think i should tell my cousin to forget the teal sg? (850$) and just get the schecter pt (400$) ??

    it would help out a lot BUT the teal is a discontinued color and extremly hard to find

    Don't forget the guitar, just wait a little while. Also, get the SG, and wait for the Schecter. The SG will be rocking sweet.

    A Gibson over a Tele? Blasphemy!
