I New Guitar....

[Hidden Fear]

i have been looking around for a new guitar and some of the ones i saw here caught my eye, i currently use a 35 year old PF200 Ibanez.... that my father gave me, i just wanted some insight on what i should buy... something with in the 600-800 dollar price range

Also the title should read i need* a new Guitar... apparently i cant type

Do you like V's, or more strat like bodies, like an RG?

[Shreddy]

35 Year old Ibanez. Wow.

I would suggest an Eclipse of sorts. (Have no idea why. But i just think you should buy one.)

[Hidden Fear]

I'm leaning toward the Strat like body but i've seen a couple V's that seemed alright.

I really don't know much about guitars and their components.

Where do most of you buy your guitars from?

[megaguy]

[Hidden Fear]

I'm a little confused myself.

That one should be fine.

[Hidden Fear]

Well my intension's were to buy a signature model but this should work... sorry about the confusion.
though, i won't have the money for about 5-7weeks so if you see a better Guitar for that price dont hesitate to tell me!

ninja 600 is nice

[Hidden Fear]

I wouldn't mind that but its a little out of my price range. not quite ready to kick in that extra 150-200 dollars on the guitar, besides i need a new amp( the one i have is just as old as the guitar).

Basically, you need to go to a guitar shop and try a few models from various brands. Some will feel more comfortable than others and some will sound better to you. Eventually you will gravitate to the one that suits your sound and style.
Then again, buying without playing is becoming more prevalent in today's market. (which is why Carvin and Edwards are steadily gaining more popularity) If a company has a good return policy, you really can't lose.
