Shecter Diamond Series
In March, 2010, I began heavily researching electric guitars and amps to try to educate myself on the subject before making my initial purchase. Joe, down at Guitar Guys, really was helpful in allowing me to try out a number of brands, styles and technologies so that I could actually get the "feel' and "sound" of each of my choices worked out in my mind.
 Ultimately, Joe was able to save me a lot of money by selling me a used Schecter C-1 "Hellraiser" from their Diamond Series. I say used, but let me tell you, the thing is of showroom quality... it doesn't look like anyone ever picked it up before me.  It sports a beautiful red quitlted maple finish, dual EMG active pickups, black chrome finish, beautiful pearl binding/trim around the body and headstock and pearl gothic cross inlay art on the fretboard.

Joe also sold me an awesome 75 watt Line 6 Spider IV amplifier and a LIne 6 FBV Express footpedal with 4 channel buttons and a volume/wah pedal. Lastly was to pick up a Profile 906 padded gig bag to carry my new axe in when I leave the house with it.
So, with both an acoustic and electric guitar, and all the primary gear I need to go with it, I'm all set to begin my journey to becoming at least a "decent" guitar player. Main thing is that I'm having fun whether I ever really get very good or not. Sometimes it's very, very frustrating and it seems I'm not making any progress.
But, my Karate students say the same thing to me after only a few months training. I always tell them... "I've been doing Martial Arts for 30 years, If you could do what I do after a few months of lessons, then I'd be the one that was frustrated... come back to me in a few years and you'll feel differently about what you can do.' |
