between these ones:
-deluxe players strat
-roadhouse strat
-lone star strat
-standard strat
and… what does HSS mean? and what is the advantage of a locking tremolo?
although i know little about guitars, im actually not that bad a player!
i like playing blues and rock- love david gilmour, jack white and dire straits.
and what amps do you recommend?
thanks a lot in advance!
I don’t know the specifics between the models, but from what I do know, I think the Lone Star model is a better produced model. The low end Strats basically have cheaper materials used for construction and are put together on an assembly line by non-"luthier" type workers. HSS just means that out of the three pickups, one is a Humbucker (H), these are commonly referred to as a "Fat Strat".
For amps, from what you described you want to sound like, I would recommend some fender tube amps for that glassy clean and moderate gain.
Fender Hot Rod Deluxe Amp
Fender 65 Princeton 15W 1×10 Tube Guitar Combo Amp
Fender Hot Rod Series Blues Junior
Whats a good ibanez guitar for a person who knows how to play acoustic but its there first electric?
i want to buy a reasonably priced electric guitar thats not to fancy but not a beginners guitar like jump start or anything
plz if u have any ideas on amps plz share
ibanez guitars are wonderful! i had an ibanez bass once it was great. one of the best ones i had. i would deff. recomend it.
i started learning how to play on electric guitars, and i started out buying a set by crate, it came with an amp and everything a starter needs, it was 200 for a new one at a pawn shop.
my advice is as long as u dont spend over 200 you will not get something too fancy and then you will not have to worry about the fancy features but the basic stuff is not to hard to learn, i thought myself. and had a ball. good luck and have fun playing with the amp too. just dont turn it up too loud. and some , most amps have a place where you can plug in headphones so that way you dont disturb others while you jam out. lots of luck.
